    • As usual, Condell swings for the fences. A crucial differentiation that he makes is with regard to “voting for” versus “voting against”. Here in America—not always successfully, mind you—we have endured decades of voting (or attempting to vote) against presidential candidates that are the greater of two evils.

      An acquaintance of mine rather succinctly identified this as “defensive voting”. Much like defensive driving, it is a matter of studiously avoiding the most obvious dangers. Obviously, the election, and reelection, of 0bama defies this notion, but fortunately Trump is making it explicitly clear just how drastically mistaken Americans were to allow such a shameless Alinskyite Communist anywhere near this nation’s helm.

      Ordinary Britishers (i.e., the Great Unwashed™) face a much more serious challenge from their supposed betters—who have taken it upon themselves to nullify what some 55% of voters resoundingly approved of.

      In a country already beset with almost daily stabbings, vehicular assaults, nearly incessant child rapes, and a veritable smorgasbord of clockwork terrorist attacks, to have a gaggle of self-congratulating elitists insist that remaining in the thrall of an unelected imperium is all for the best is nothing short of pouring salt in the wound.

      It would seem that stupidity born of routine inbreeding is not the exclusive domain of British royals. By my own estimation, it is imperative that Brexit be accomplished well before that osculator of Muslim posteriors masquerading as heir to the throne lays even a pinkie finger on the scepter.

  2. Garbage mountains as far as the eye can see. This is France in 2018. When the “Global Compact for Migration” is signed in December, it will soon be the same across Europe. Millions would have to take to the streets to protest against this policy before it’s too late.

    • “Garbage mountains as far as the eye can see.”

      Sweet merciful crap! How many thousand tons of rubbish was that?!? Now, consider how the video clip was a mere snapshot of what must be happening all across France.

      Soon enough, the frogs will be able to hop across their once pristine pond without even getting their feet wet. At the very least, those massifs of refuse represent ideal incubators for the many deadly diseases these cultural enrichers so fecklessly import.

      All of which invites rather disturbing speculation as to where these freeloaders have deposited similar alps of human waste. “Health hazard” doesn’t even begin to describe this ticking turdish time bomb.

      • This is what happens when you allow parallel societies within your nation. Lawless areas like the Jungle where the roughest group wins, where the vilest crimes like kiddie rape are a daily feature.
        These states within states won’t provide basic services like garbage disposal. That’s how they lived back home.. I’ve seen such scenes in Cairo for example. Not just rubbish but a dead goat by the side of the road etc. I’ve been told Morocco also has this problem, people throw their trash from driving cars, so the desert is full of plastic bags. The most polluted areas are in the 3rd world, nobody talks about it.
        I’ve seen a gypsy camp in Italy that was like this too. They’re used to moving around, dumping their trash next to the camp and move when the stink becomes unbearable. I saw a broken freezer full of turds they’d dumped in a ditch, I almost threw up.
        Funny thing is, regular citizens get fined 250 EU if they put domestic waste in a public garbage can. Meanwhile you have a trailer camp like this 50m away, where they don’t even pay taxes. They regularly steal electricity to grow weed as well. If you report them they’ll burn your house down, that’s how trailer park trash rolls.

        • Despite what the left says in its propaganda commercials the American Indians were the same, they threw their trash around the camp and moved when the smell got too bad. Many of the people crossing the plains commented on how you could smell an Indian village from many miles away.

          • “Despite what the left says in its propaganda commercials the American Indians were the same, they threw their trash around the camp and moved when the smell got too bad.”

            In his outstanding book, “The Botany of Desire”, controversial author Michael Pollan specifically mentions how American Indians were not the “environmental eunuchs” (bwahahahaha) that so many green-types are fond of portraying them as.

        • “The most polluted areas are in the 3rd world, nobody talks about it.”

          Too right, C!

          Whilst in the Philippines I trekked through Banue’s incredibly scenic Batad rice terraces in Ifugao province. On the way out we hired a guide to lug our day packs up the hill which resulted in us taking the long way around to a hotel up on the road.

          While struggling up the “stairway to heaven” (i.e., the staircase from hell) out of Batad—which consists of steps made from two foot cubic concrete blocks—we paused at the top for a much-needed break. I watched in astonishment as our guide unwrapped a piece of candy and, just as promptly, discarded its wrapper on the ground.

          I immediately chastised him for littering the same exact astounding landscape that his own employment depended upon. Days before, on the way down from the “saddle” trailhead, I noticed that the path was strewn with litter. Sadly, this definitely was not tourist litter.

          There were detergent bottles and all sorts of obviously household-related garbage along a lot of the trail. It was beyond disappointing to realize that the locals had fouled their own insanely beautiful nest in such an ugly and conspicuous manner.

          Fortunately, there were other fond memories that helped compensate for this sadness. Like meeting a flock of children hiking the several miles back home from school. Conveniently, I had brought along several dozen glowsticks (plus connectors) and promptly set about activating them to make bracelets for the kids.

          It is doubtful any of these young’uns ever had seen anything of the sort and their gasps of astonishment—as I crushed the Cyalume sticks into chemiluminescence—confirmed this. Much hilarity ensued as some of the little tykes tried to conceal the bracelet they already had been given in hopes of weaseling a second one out of me.

          These are the memories that make all the expense and hassle worth it.

      • “Garbage makes garbage.”

        An old programmer’s acronym seems rather well-suited at this point:

        GIGO: Garbage In – Garbage Out

        Some corollaries being:

        Old Buddhist saying… “No matter how much you wash a turd, it will not come clean.”

        And one of my all-time favorites:

        Liberals live in the undying belief that it is possible to pick up a turd by its clean end.

    • Given the unsanitary conditions how long will it be before several plagues start pandemics in France and the other European nations that are highly enriched?

      • Garbage river

        In a region that suffers from intense water poverty, the notion of a watercourse (of whatever size) being turned into a jam-packed conveyor belt for trash exemplifies just how braindead most Muslims are.

        It reminds me very little of how Hamas diverted donated piping to serve as fuselages for Qassam rockets—even Abu Mudhen is on record referring to Qassams as “pipes”—while continuing to overfill makeshift sand-diked ponds loaded with human waste located adjacent to the town of Umm al-Naser.

        This resulted in the 2008 sewage tsunami that killed at least four people, including a four year-old boy and nine month old infant—all of whom were drowned in feces-laced urine—with another 30 injured when a 6m (20ft) to 7m (23ft) high wave of filth swamped an area inhabited by 10,000 people.

        The spectacle of genocidal anti-Semites being swamped in their own excrement carries with it an unrivaled degree of not-really-delicious irony. The “Palestinians” voluntarily elected Hamas and—as with any pig-in-a-poke—were sold a bill of goods that included suspects being hurled from apartment house rooftops and military headquarters being set up in schools and hospitals.

        The willingness of Gazans to be used as human shields and pool noodles makes it more than a little difficult to squeeze out even a single sympathetic tear for these murderous psychopaths. Drowning in their own sh!t is an end that’s more than a little befitting for these parasitic vermin.

        Seeing as how, after gorging upon countless billions of dollars in foreign aid—many times the per capita average for global aid recipients—what do these thankless bastards have to show for it? Where are the universities, hospitals, power generation stations (not to mention sewage processing facilities), and other standard items of infrastructure that have been paid for by the international community over and over, time and again? Go cry me a river (of sewage).

  3. (WATCH) Refugees terrorize suburb of Nuremberg, Bavaria: “You have to get used to such kind of trespassing”–
    In the Nuremberg district of Ziegelstein, some women literally feel really claustrophobic in their room. They only dare to take to the streets during the day, and even more so in the evening, when they are accompanied by men or big dogs. The stumbling block is apparently a refugee home. In an interview with Corinna Schenz, the AfD’s candidate for Nuremberg’s district council, a young woman describes how dramatically life has changed in the once peaceful Nuremberg district bordering the forest.Corinna Schenz posts on her Facebook page as an introduction to the shocking video protocol:”Enrichment” by refugees in Ziegelstein: overnight it was there, one of three shelters for asylum seekers. Since then, residents no longer feel safe: Trespassing, harassment, threats, begging, sexual assaults, …The police watch inactively, do nothing. On the contrary: “I’ve been told that you have to get used to this kind of trespassing now”. That’s what Mrs Rauwolf says, mother of two small children living in the immediate vicinity of one of the asylum seekers’ homes.Furthermore, the AfD woman asks people who have had similar experiences in Ziegelstein to contact her. She also wants to help with the foundation of a citizens’ initiative. Those affected can contact the experienced activist against migrant violence on the Facebook page or via this e-mail address: sicher-leben@protonmail.com. What Mrs Rauwolf reports in the long interview is shocking. Migrants are said to have snatched the dog from a woman and coerced her into sexual acts by threatening to kill the dog. She herself had also been exposed to victims of sexual harassment in the subway during pregnancy. At Minute 22 she describes how refugees entered her property, insulted and spat at her and kicked her dog.She relentlessly reveals how the Nuremberg police play down the incidents that still lecture the victims. At minute 26 she shows the scene of the crime. The men stood directly on the terrace and demanded money from the young mother. Since then she has only entered her garden with mixed feelings.”Our country will change, drastically, and I’m looking forward to it!” Katrin Göring Eckard of the Green Party announced the party conference of the Greens in 2015 according to a collection of quotations, gloatingly at the party conference. Mrs Rauwolf felt this in the literal sense of the word. And she is not the only one in the once so peaceful Nuremberg suburb. But apparently many citizens in the Free State have become accustomed to these Cairo conditions. According to surveys, the Greens are heading for a record result with 18 percent.

    • Refugees terrorize suburb of Nuremberg, Bavaria

      Yet more trials for Nuremberg.

      ”Our country will change, drastically, and I’m looking forward to it!” Katrin Göring Eckard of the Green Party announced the party conference of the Greens in 2015 according to a collection of quotations, gloatingly at the party conference.

      All of which could change in an instant if someone decided to “drastically” change the life of a cultural traitor like Katrin Göring Eckard. Maybe being shoved handcuffed into an unsupervised “refugee” center might dampen her enthusiasm ever so slightly.

  5. Migrant with Multiple Convictions Arrested for Murder After Prison Release (breitbart, Oct 13, 2018)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2018/10/13/migrant-with-multiple-convictions-arrested-for-murder-after-prison-release/

    “A migrant from Lebanon with a long record of convictions has been arrested for murder after being released from prison following appeals against a prior conviction.

    Omar A. is accused of murdering 54-year-old Detlev L. after he was confronted during a burglary in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district, stabbing the victim with a folding knife in the upper body before fleeing from the scene, Focus reports.

    The 54-year-old victim, described as a family man, died in a local hospital from his wounds the next day.

    Four days after the murder, Omar A. is suspected of carrying out another robbery not more than 1,000 meters from the scene of the stabbing. After robbing a home and threatening the occupant, he was tracked down by police and arrested at a subway station, where they found the knife used to kill Detlev L., and later found the victim’s DNA on the weapon.

    According to police, Omar A. has a long history of convictions for various offences including drugs, theft with weapons, and robbery, and was supposed to serve 500 days in prison but was let out early after succeeding in an appeals process. The government has also failed to deport him back to his native Lebanon as the country has refused to take him back due to his criminality.

    The murder is just the latest in which a migrant with a history of criminality has killed in Germany with the government failing to deport them.

    Several failed asylum seekers have been accused or found guilty of murder in recent years, including a 21-year-old from Mali who killed a Romanian woman last year, Pakistani asylum seeker Sohail A., who was arrested for murdering his two-year-old daughter, and 20-year-old Iraqi failed asylum seeker Ali Bashar ,who killed 14-year-old Susanna Feldman in June, along with several other cases.”

    • “The government has also failed to deport him back to his native Lebanon as the country has refused to take him back due to his criminality.”

      Sounds like a job for Old Sparky.

  7. Kurds Call On European Nations to Take Back 900 Captured Islamic State Fighters (breitbart, Oct 13, 2018)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2018/10/13/kurds-call-on-european-nations-to-take-back-900-captured-islamic-state-fighters/

    “Kurdish fighters in Syria say they have captured around 900 Islamic State fighters from various European countries and are now calling on those countries to take the jihadis back.

    A spokesman from the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) operating in Syria has claimed that the group has now captured far more Islamic State foreign jihadis than previously reported, nearly double the figure of 520 released only a month ago, the Times of Israel reports.

    According to spokesman Nuri Mahmoud, “Around 900 IS terrorists are in our jails… from 44 countries”, adding: “The numbers have increased over the past months from the battles between our forces and IS.”

    Mahmoud also claimed that Western countries had been “flouting their responsibility” when it came to taking back their citizens who had left to join the terror group.

    Earlier this year it was revealed that at least 41 Swedish Islamic State jihadis were captured by Kurdish forces with claims that five of those captured were senior figures in the terror organisation.

    The way Sweden has proposed to deal with returning fighters has been widely regarded as controversial, with senior politicians like Alice Bah Kunkhe saying that the country should reintegrate the jihadis back into Swedish society.

    In some cases, Swedish municipalities have attempted to integrate jihadis by offering them driving lessons, access to housing, and debt forgiveness.

    France, meanwhile, did take back Islamic State fighter Jonathan Geffroy, who was captured in 2017 by the Free Syrian Army. Geffroy, who interacted with senior French members of the group, claimed that the Islamic State had planned to train young children to travel to Europe and carry out terrorist attacks.

    In Canada, internal government documents were leaked earlier this year revealing that it was unlikely returning fighters would be facing any sort of criminal charges due to the difficulty of conducting investigations into their overseas activities.

    Last year it was revealed that at least 60 radical Islamic extremists had returned to Canada from the Middle East.”

  8. Newspaper Launches Anti-Multiculturalism ‘Patriotic Fairy Tale’ Contest, Angers Left (breitbart, Oct 13, 2018)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2018/10/13/outrage-childs-writing-contest-dangers-multiculturalism-illegal-immigration/

    “Leftists have attacked a conservative newspaper for launching a creative writing competition where authors are invited to write a “patriotic Slovenian fairy tale” for children depicting the dangers of multiculturalism, progressivism, and illegal mass migration.
    The centre-right Demokracija advertised the competition last week for established and amateur authors to write a child’s fairy tale intended to instil in them the “right values” and ensure “they love Slovenia”.

    “Fairy tales must be original, yet unpublished and written in the Slovene language. The fairy tale should address the dangers posed by multiculturalism and illegal migration,” the terms of the competition explain.

    Slovenia, the home country of U.S. First Lady Melania Trump, found itself a thoroughfare for almost half a million asylum seekers heading to Western European welfare states in 2015, after Germany’s Angela Merkel unilaterally opened up the EU’s borders to an unlimited number of migrants from the Global South.

    The newspaper explains that the fairy tale must “encourage children in patriotism [and] belonging to a traditional family” and “should have a happy ending, or at least give hope that justice and truth, national consciousness, patriotism, and family will always win.”

    Authors are also instructed to write villainous characters as well as heroes, who may be depicted as animals in a traditional Slovene fashion where the “heroes are the domestic animal species, while intruders are invasive species”.

    “Make sure that the end portrays that it is nice to live in a traditional family (father, mother, children) and surrounded by ancestors/their kind,” the stylistic instructions conclude.

    This week, the Slovenian Writers’ Association condemned the competition as “racist propaganda” and said that children “deserve humane, open, and tolerant tales that promote empathy”.

    Demokracija called the assaults from the writers’ association an “attack on free speech”, condemning the “cultural Marxism” which seeks to “compete” with the European nation’s “patriotic agenda”.

    Western Europe has embraced ‘progressive’ narratives in children’s books, with a Swedish publisher releasing a book last year introducing the subject of transgenderism to toddlers in a story about a man who identifies as a woman and a horse that identifies as a dog.

    A council in the liberal, left-wing Nordic nation has also admitted that libraries were throwing out copies of the Swedish classic Pippi Longstocking because they contained words and characters deemed offensive to modern sensibilities.

    Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, Transport for London was condemned by Muslim moderates for producing a book on child safety depicting a very young girl wearing a hijab, saying it “sexualised” children and imposed fundamentalist Islamic modesty standards.”

  9. BBC to Fight ‘Heteronormative Culture’ with Gender-Neutral Pronouns, ‘Straight Ally’ Badges (breitbart, Oct 13, 2018)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2018/10/13/bbc-fight-heteronormative-culture-gender/

    “The BBC is to fight a “heteronormative culture” with a raft of pro-LGBT reforms, despite figures showing sexual minorities are already overrepresented as much as fivefold in the broadcaster’s workforce.

    Staff will be told to use gender-neutral pronouns for workers who say they are “non-binary” — identifying as neither male or female — under new BBC policies, which also detail plans to put additional support in place for transgender individuals, especially while they are “transitioning”.

    Workforce training on diversity, inclusion, and “unconscious bias” will also be expanded to include LGBT issues, while non-heterosexual mentors will guide less senior staff who identify as a sexual minority.

    Teams working in television, news and radio broadcasting have been told to increase representation of sexual minorities, specifically that they insert more “incidental” portrayals of LGBT relationships and individuals not directly related to a storyline or news item.

    In addition, the BBC said it will raise the profile of employees who are not heterosexual and urge them to “bring their whole self to work”.

    ‘Straight Ally’ badges will be handed out to heterosexual members of staff.

    The reforms were brought in following an internal survey of 300 LGBT members of staff, who called for “improvement” in a number of areas including the demand that the BBC adopt the umbrella term LGBTQ+ for sexual minorities so as to be “inclusive” towards people who claim to belong to identities other than Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender, including ‘Queer’.

    James Purnell, director of radio and education, said: “One of our big challenges currently is around young audiences.

    “In a recent YouGov survey only 51 percent of 18 to 24-year-olds said they identified as completely heterosexual.

    “An organisation that appears to have a heteronormative culture is not one that is going to cut ice with them either as a consumer or an employee.”

    As Breitbart London reported last year, official government figures showing that just 4.1 per cent of 16 to 24-year-olds reported themselves to be lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB) was published just a week after an Ipsos Mori poll for the BBC showed only 66 per cent of young people said they were heterosexual.

    Announcing in July the results of a confidential staff survey revealing that sexual minorities were overrepresented by about five times at the corporation the BBC praised the “very, very high” proportion of LGBT workers but insisted there was more to be done, suggesting a drive to hire lesbians.

    According to the figures, more than 400 transgender individuals are employed at the BBC, while 11 per cent of its total workforce and 12 per cent of senior staff identified as sexual minorities.

    The broadcaster’s seeking of an ever-more “diverse” workforce in terms of employing increasing numbers of staff from ethnic and sexual minorities is driven by the BBC’s “commit[ment] to reflecting and representing the diversity of the UK”, it claims.

    It is unclear then why the significant underrepresentation of heterosexuals has at no point been raised as an issue of representation in the way lesbian staff numbers were.”

    “A STABBING in Hainault, London, has turned into a murder investigation after a man was killed on the street and another left fighting for his life.

    Emergency crews were scrambled after reports two men had been stabbed in Hainault, north east London around 10.20pm on Friday.

    A man, believed to be 23, was found dead at the scene and a second man, believed to be 22, was rushed to hospital.

    He was taken for treatment at an east London hospital and remains in a critical condition.

    A crime scene remains in place after the stabbing in Manford Way.

    It is the latest horrific killing in the capital as the murder rate continues to soar in 2018.

    The total the number of homicides in London so far this year reached 100 last month.

  13. ‘End of love story’: Poll says for 2/3 of EU citizens life wouldn’t be worse without the bloc (RT, Oct 13, 2018)
    https://www.rt.com/news/441167-eu-citizens-bloc-future/

    “Nearly two-thirds of EU citizens think that life wouldn’t be worse without the bloc, a recent survey revealed. It probably highlights the end of a love story between Brussels and those living in the union, an analyst told RT.

    The report which says there is a significant divide between the leadership and the people within the EU was released by the Friends of Europe think tank on Thursday. The group, which is partially funded by the EU, insists that its goals are to “create a more inclusive, sustainable and forward-looking Europe.”

    The document reveals that some 64 percent of Europeans “aren’t convinced life would be worse without the EU.” If nothing changes, the whole union will remain “irrelevant” to a majority of its citizens, the group notes. Currently nearly half of those polled (49 percent) believe “the EU is irrelevant.”

    Transparency is also an issue for Europeans, according to the survey, as well as frustration at the EU administration for not focusing on the things people really care about. “Europeans want to have a bigger say” on policy decisions, the poll found.

    The survey comes on the heels of EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini’s statement where she alleged the world simply wouldn’t survive without the bloc. “Close your eyes and imagine for one moment the European Union disappeared from the global scene right now,” she started her inspiring message earlier this week. “The world would simply collapse,” she concluded.

    Whether the world will indeed face such a grim fate is arguable. Yet, what the report showcases is that “the love story of Europeans with Europe is coming to an end,” RT has been told. And this love may be vanishing due to ‘open borders,’ Brussels-based independent journalist Luc Rivet said…”

    “A night attack targeting the local offices of the Italian party Lega has taken place in the town of Ala; Lega party leader Matteo Salvinini is expected to arrive there in the evening.

    Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini said on Saturday that a firecracker was thrown into the office of his right-wing Lega party in the northern Italian city of Ala on Friday night ahead of his arrival in the city for an electoral campaign rally.

    Unidentified men threw an explosive at the branch office of the Italian party Lega; the blast shattered windows.

    In addition, the vandals scrawled “The Wind is Still Blowing” near the site, evidently quoting lyrics from an Italian red partisans’ song.

  15. Mass Migration Planted ‘Bomb’ Under EU – Belgian Politician (sputniknews, Oct 13, 2018)
    https://sputniknews.com/europe/201810131068856104-migration-eu-borders-visegrad-italy/

    “The statement came as the EU is struggling to negotiate refugee quotas and a common European framework to share responsibility for immigrant arrivals amid the ongoing migration crisis.

    Mass migration to the EU has actually planted a sort of a bomb under the bloc’s architecture, and if the borders are not closed the current model will never be preserved, according to Antwerp mayor Bart De Wever, who is also leader of the nationalist New Flemish Alliance.

    “We are not against migration, but it should focus on people who have relevant skills in the labor market, like in Canada or Australia. It is necessary to stop saying that everyone who comes to us should be able to integrate as well as receive income and social housing, something that can only bee seen in Europe,” De Wever told the Belgian newspaper La Libre.

    He recalled that EU members are among the countries where the level of income distribution is one of the most significant after the Scandinavian countries.

    “But we will not be able to maintain this model if we do not close the borders,” De Wever pointed out.

    He also argued that European migration policy was hammered out during the Cold War era when the goal was to “protect those who fled from the communist countries.”

    “However, the rules for granting asylum were not written for mass migration. This is madness – a bomb has been planted under the European Union,” Wever said, referring to the position of European judges who prohibit the practice of forcibly returning ships with illegal immigrants.

    In a nod to Brexit, Wever said that the EU “has already lost the UK” and that if “the referendum was held in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, we would have lost these countries.”

    His remarks came after Polish President Andrzej Duda recalled that the Visegrad Four countries (Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary) were the first to speak three years ago about the best way to combat illegal migration – namely, to help those regions from which refugees flee to Europe rather than focus on distributing migration quotas in the EU…”

    • “We are not against migration, but it should focus on people who have relevant skills in the labor market, like in Canada or Australia.”

    “A U.S.-backed Syrian force and a war monitor say members of the Islamic State group have stormed a settlement for displaced people in the country’s east and kidnapped scores of civilians.

    The Syrian Democratic Forces said in a statement that fighting Friday night in the Hajin camp for displaced persons left 20 IS gunmen and “several” SDF fighters dead. It added that IS gunmen took civilians by force to areas in the last pocket they control.

    The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that monitors Syria’s war said as many as 130 families were kidnapped by the extremists, who warned they might kill them.

    The area in Syria’s Deir el-Zour province has been witnessing days of intense clashes between IS and SDF fighters amid bad weather and low visibility.”

    “An influential body of newspaper editors in Bangladesh on Saturday criticized the government for a new digital security law that they say will stifle constitutionally protected freedom of speech and curtail press freedom.

    Members of the Editors’ Council told a news conference in the nation’s capital, Dhaka, that they were not pleased that the bill was made a law despite their objections.

    President Abdul Hamid approved the bill, known as the Digital Security Act, despite promises by three Cabinet ministers and an adviser to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina that they would address the journalists’ concerns about some disputed provisions…”

  19. Saudi-led airstrike kills 17 in contested Yemeni port city (abcnews, Oct 13, 2018)
    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/saudi-led-airstrike-kills-17-contested-yemeni-port-58475049

    “Yemeni rebel officials say an airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition targeting Shiite rebels has killed at least 17 people in the port-city of Hodeidah.

    A spokesman for the Houthi-rebel-run Health Ministry, Youssef al-Hadari, says that beyond the 17 killed there were also 20 wounded in the Saturday strike on the Gabal Ras area.

    Hodeidah, with its key port installations that bring un humanitarian aid, has become the center of Yemen’s conflict, with ground troops allied to the coalition struggling to drive out the rebels who control it.

    The coalition has been locked in a stalemated war with the rebels since 2015. An estimated 10,000 people have been killed in Yemen’s conflict, which has produced what the U.N. says is the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.”

    “Thousands of people are demonstrating in Berlin against racism and discrimination, a protest that comes amid concern about an increasingly confident far right.

    A wide range of groups, including pro-refugee, gay rights and Muslim organizations, backed Saturday’s “Indivisible” protest in the heart of the German capital under the slogan “solidarity instead of exclusion — for an open and free society.”

    Among supporters was Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, who in comments to the Funke newspaper group welcomed “a great signal” that “the majority in our country stands for tolerance and openness.”

    Last year’s German election saw the far-right Alternative for Germany party enter the national parliament. Anti-migrant violence a few weeks ago in the eastern city of Chemnitz added to concerns.”

    • “A wide range of groups, including pro-refugee, gay rights and Muslim organizations, backed Saturday’s “Indivisible” protest in the heart of the German capital under the slogan “solidarity instead of exclusion — for an open and free society.”

      Fecking priceless! As if a nation under Muslim control would for even one minute tolerate “an open and free society”. These Islamic enablers should be force-fed anti-psychotic medications. They are a clear and present danger to themselves and everyone else around them.

  22. The possible reason Hillary Clinton asked to have her clearance access withdrawn
    By J.E. Dyer October 12, 2018

    There has been a lot of speculation and mischaracterization buzzing around the infosphere on Friday, after it was reported that Hillary Clinton asked to have her access to classified information terminated at the end of August 2018.

    The access of five of her former State Department aides was also terminated three weeks later, on 20 September 2018, reportedly at Clinton’s behest.

    The correct phrase for what was done in these cases was used in a letter from the State Department to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who had requested information in the spring of 2017 on the status of Clinton’s clearance. The phrase used is “former Secretary Clinton’s security clearance was administratively withdrawn on August 30, 2018.”

    The committee posted the State Department letter in a slightly redacted version on Friday. The redaction is of four of the names of Hillary’s aides whose clearances were also withdrawn. Cheryl Mills is the fifth.

    Almost everyone in the media is referring to this event as Hillary’s “security clearance being revoked.” That wording tends to imply a negative character to the administrative action, for which there is no evidence in the letter. According to the State Department, Hillary herself asked to have her clearance and those of the five others withdrawn. (The five aides had retained their access as “researchers,” at Clinton’s request. That’s not uncommon for top officials who write books and articles after leaving office.)

    https://libertyunyielding.com/2018/10/12/the-possible-reason-hillary-clinton-asked-to-have-her-clearance-access-withdrawn/

    Richard: Why did she ask to have her security clearance pulled? She didn’t want an honest investigation into what she did in the past.

  24. Saudi Emir calls for military campaign against Kuwait, sparks backlash (memo, Oct 13, 2018)
    https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20181013-saudi-emir-calls-for-military-campaign-against-kuwait-sparks-backlash/

    “Saudi Emir Khalid Bin Abdullah Al-Saudi has called for a military campaign against Kuwait, sparking a wave of criticism and calls not to meddle in others’ internal affairs.

    Al-Saudi wrote on Twitter: “Kuwait needs [a] new ‘Operation Decisive Storm’ to purge it from the dirt of [the Muslim] Brotherhood and the supporters of Hamads [the Qatari ruling family]”.

    Operation Decisive Storm is the name given to the Saudi-led intervention in Yemen in 2015, where civil war has since devastated the country.

    Al-Saudi’s comments sparked a backlash on Twitter, with one user writing: “Kuwait does not need advice from you. Thank God, we have our own emir Subah al-Ahmad al-Subah whom we obey. He does not need your advice, too. Unlike others, he is not isolated from his people”.

    Another user wrote: “All the Gulf States need to be purged from [the Muslim] Brotherhood on top of which is Saudi Arabia. Twitter users have full freedom to tweet whatever they want excluding criticising God, Prophets and the emir. If this existed in Saudi Arabia, twitter would have been plagued with the Brotherhood’s poisons”.

    A third user wrote: “You claim you are strong. [US President Donald] Trump insults you every three days. This is the absolute humiliation for you and your [King] who suffers from Alzheimer… He humiliated you with his latest remarks when he said you will never remain more than 12 minutes if he ended his protection”.”

  25. WATCH: Hungary Vows to ‘Shake Up’ EU in Ad Taking Aim at Migrant Crime, Terrorism, Open Borders (breitbart, Oct 13, 2018)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2018/10/13/watch-hungary-shake-up-eu-ad-migrant-crime-terrorism-open-borders/

    “The Hungarian government has released an English-language video taking aim at the “reckless” European Union establishment on mass migration, migrant crime, and terrorism, and vowed to “shake up Brussels”.

    According to the Central European government’s About Hungary website, the video is intended as something of a response to the Sargentini Report which accused Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s administration of various rights violations.

    The report became the pretext for a vote in favour of Article 7 sanctions against the country by the European Parliament — although the Hungarians hotly dispute its claims, arguing it is a politically motivated attempt to punish their country for defying the EU’s migrant redistribution quotas and other pro-open borders policies.

    In any event, Article 7 sanctions are all-but-guaranteed to be vetoed in the European Council by other pro-sovereignty, anti-mass migration governments in countries like Poland and the Czech Republic.

    European Parliament mainstay Guy Verhofstadt, a former Prime Minister of Belgium who now serves as the chamber’s representative in the Brexit negotiations and acts as a strident advocate for a United States of Europe and opponent and of national populism who frequently disparages Hungary and her allies, came in for particularly heavy criticism in the American-style attack ad.

    “This is Guy Verhofstadt. He wants more migration,” the video begins, showing a short clip of the Belgian asserting that “we need migration”.

    “These are the facts: 1.8 million migrants have entered the European Union since 2015. Millions more wish to come. Since the crisis began hundreds have lost their lives in vicious attacks all across Europe. Violent crime is rising. And Guy Verhofstadt wants more migration,” the narrator declares.

    “This is reckless. Time to shake up Brussels. Let’s protect Europe!”

    In a statement accompanying the video’s release, the Hungarian government makes it clear it “will not leave unanswered theoffencee committed against Hungary in the Sargentini Report”.

    They add that they “would like to make clear before the general, European public that we do not want to become an immigrant country. That’s why the government has released this English-language internet video in response to the attacks on our country.”

    Prime Minister Orbán has previously stated that he sees the European Parliament election in 2019 as an opportunity for pro-sovereignty, anti-mass migration parties to sweep away establishment globalists in the mould of Mr Verhofstadt, and change the direction of the EU.”

  26. GOP Seizes On Left’s “Unhinged Mob” Mentality In Viral Video

    The GOP message going into midterms is simple; the left is an “unhinged mob” full of “radical Democrats” who shouldn’t be allowed to govern the country.

    The mob-mentality began last Saturday after President Trump said that the Democratic resistance to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was an attempt by an “angry mob” to hijack the proceedings “in their quest for power.”

    • The author of the article needs to check the meaning of mob mentality, the mob mentality started when the Far Left leaders turned antifa, BLM and BMN loose to harass and attack people they disagree with. The meme of the Dems using mob violence was started several years ago but went viral once President Trump used it in a speech.

      I never thought I would be saying this but Hillary Clinton said something I agree with, she said “You can’t be civil with a political party that is out to destroy all you believe in”. She is right you can’t this is a fact that Lindsey Graham discovered during the Kanavaugh hearings. The Democrats what power so they can destroy the Constitution that is preventi9ng them from taking the US full Communist. They are talking about changing the Constitution so only far left Democrats can win elections and eventually so only Far Left Democrats can run for office. They are taking their masks of civility and moderation off and are showing that they don’t care for anyone besides themselves and the power to make us live the way they think is best. Never mind what we want they think we are too stupi8d to know what is best and thus they have to take total power to prevent us from hurting ourselves.

  29. Eleven people thought to be migrants have died after their vehicle and a lorry collided head-on in northern Greece.

    Both the car and the lorry burst into flames but the lorry driver managed to escape without serious injuries.

    The car was heading to the city of Thessaloniki and the lorry was travelling to Kavala when the crash occurred early on Saturday.

    Police said the car had previously been used for migrant smuggling.

    Greece had been the frontline of the migrant arrivals, hitting a peak of more than one million from Turkey in 2015.

    But the flow of irregular migrants fell dramatically after the EU and Turkey signed an agreement to send back to Turkey migrants who did not apply for asylum or whose claim was rejected.

    Newly unsealed court records unsealed show the FBI and U.S. State Department opened the investigation into the Sept. 22 death of Kevin Webb, a human resources officer assigned to the embassy in the capital of the Indian Ocean nation.

    The court filings revealed that authorities arrested a guest who accompanied Webb to his apartment the night of his death.

    The State Department previously declined to identify Webb or release any details surrounding his death.

    Webb’s guest, a “foreign national” identified in court papers as Davidasoa Randrianotahiana, entered the residential compound through the front door and provided his name and identification to a guard.

    October 13, 2018 at 7:28 AM CDT – Updated October 13 at 7:30 AM
    DALLAS (KTVT/CNN) – Some residents in one Dallas neighborhood are freaking out over a Halloween yard decoration.

    Hanging Frankenstein decoration divides community
    They are calling it disturbing and insensitive.

    “The first time I drove past it, I did a double, triple take,” said Sloan Dix, a resident of the Lakewood neighborhood. “I do respect people’s wish to decorate their house the way they want for Halloween, but this feels like it takes it to a different level. The problem is from far away, it looks like something different.”

    The Frankenstein hanging from a tree, some say, connotes a painful chapter in American history and is at best insensitive.

    “The rights of a homeowner, a white person in particular, to hang a decoration up like this have to give way to the sensitivity we should have for all of our neighbors,” said George Mason, another resident of the neighborhood.

    “I just hate it,” said Kim Mason. “It brings up bad things in our history.”

    Others call that an overreaction and say it’s the homeowners’ right to decorate how they choose.

    “It’s their house and it’s Halloween,” said Terry Lane. “People can decorate. I don’t want someone to tell me how I can decorate for Christmas.”

    Some neighbors said the homeowner is being bullied.

    She’s had the decoration for 40 years and has told neighbors it brings her grandchildren joy.

    Others hope she’ll adjust with the times.

    “Even though it is a Frankenstein, could it not just be standing in their front yard?” Dix said.

    http://www.wafb.com/2018/10/13/hanging-frankenstein-decoration-divides-community/

    TL;DR: a WHITE (how dare she) woman uses the same Halloween decoration for 40 years, but this year, it triggers people and she is mercilessly bullied.

    • “…WHITE (how dare she) woman uses the same Halloween decoration for 40 years, but this year, it triggers people and she is mercilessly bullied.”

      As Eeyore is so fond of noting, selective enforcement is all the rage, literally.

      Any, repeat any, excuse to make life miserable for others is all that’s required for these “trigger-happy” (yust made that up!) @ssclowns to put their oar in, whether it’s appropriate or not.

      I’d advise this hapless woman to start investigating and identifying any recent neighborhood move-ins that might be the true source of this previously nonexistent harassment. Also, does she or another family member have a Trump or MAGA bumper sticker on their vehicle? Let’s face it, if so, that could be the real trigger in this situation.

      Here’s where Big Pharma could really do everybody a yuge favor by creating a transparent, undetectable salve that can be smeared on doorknobs or car-door handles which quickly inhibits these sort of pathetic overreactions.

      We’ll start by naming the prototype compound, “Trigger Lock”. [rimshot]

      To rephrase an old sixties jest: Liberals are those individuals who live in the constant, dreadful, nagging fear that someone, somewhere, somehow, is managing to think differently than they do.

  33. French hero Arnaud Beltrame, who sacrificed himself to save a hostage from a Islamist terrorist, won’t have a place named after him because it may upset Marseille’s huge Muslim community, Valeurs Actuelles reports.

    On 24 March 2018, an ISIS terrorist stormed a supermarket in Trèbes, armed with a handgun, a hunting knife and three homemade bombs. He shot two people dead and took others hostage.

    During the negotiation with the police, the terrorist accepted Beltrame’s offer to swap places with the last hostage, a female cashier.

    Beltrame also set his phone on a table with its line open so that police outside could monitor the activity inside.

    After a three-hour stand-off with the police, Radouane Lakdim, the 25-year-old terrorist, stabbed (even though rumours circulated that he sliced Beltrame’s throat) and murdered Arnaud Beltrame.

  34. Brian Amerige, a Facebook engineer who made headlines after he and more than one hundred other employees stood up to the company’s “intolerant” left-wing culture, has left Facebook.
    In August, it was reported that “more than 100 politically conservative Facebook employees” had created an “internal group called ‘FB’ers for Political Diversity,’ in an effort to stand up to the ‘intolerant’ liberal culture at the company.”

    In one post in the group, Amerige declared, “We are a political monoculture that’s intolerant of different views. We claim to welcome all perspectives, but are quick to attack — often in mobs — anyone who presents a view that appears to be in opposition to left-leaning ideology.”

    Now, Amerige has quit his position at the company.

    In a memo to other Facebook employees, Amerige wrote, “I care too deeply about our role in supporting free expression and intellectual diversity to even whole-heartedly attempt the product stuff anymore, and that’s how I know it’s time to go.”

    Amerige also added, “I’ve been thinking about this for almost a year, and though a certain leak delayed me a bit, I know it’s time for me to move on… I’m not leaving because ‘it’s time for something new. I’m leaving because I’m burnt out on Facebook, our strategy, our culture, and our product.”

  37. Note: there are many articles and conspiracy theories floating about regarding the disappearance of the Saudi ‘journalist’ at the Saudi embassy in Turkey. Perhaps the most inaccurate describe him as ‘a journalist’ and ‘a pre-democracy moderate’.

    The following article makes more sense than most of what I’ve seen so far and is very worthy of a read:

    …
    The fate of Khashoggi has at least provoked global outrage, but it’s for all the wrong reasons. We are told he was a liberal, Saudi progressive voice fighting for freedom and democracy, and a martyr who paid the ultimate price for telling the truth to power. This is not just wrong, but distracts us from understanding what the incident tells us about the internal power dynamics of a kingdom going through an unprecedented period of upheaval. It is also the story of how one man got entangled in a Saudi ruling family that operates like the Mafia. Once you join, it’s for life, and if you try to leave, you become disposable.

    In truth, Khashoggi never had much time for western-style pluralistic democracy. In the 1970s he joined the Muslim Brotherhood, which exists to rid the Islamic world of western influence. He was a political Islamist until the end, recently praising the Muslim Brotherhood in the Washington Post. He championed the ‘moderate’ Islamist opposition in Syria, whose crimes against humanity are a matter of record. Khashoggi frequently sugarcoated his Islamist beliefs with constant references to freedom and democracy. But he never hid that he was in favour of a Muslim Brotherhood arc throughout the Middle East. His recurring plea to bin Salman in his columns was to embrace not western-style democracy, but the rise of political Islam which the Arab Spring had inadvertently given rise to. For Khashoggi, secularism was the enemy.

  38. President Donald Trump has one campaign yet to fulfill and WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange is vowing to see that one fulfilled sooner rather later. In his words – “If Trump doesn’t take Clinton down, we will.”

    For almost two years, Clinton and the Deep State have been hell-bent on drumming up a ‘Trump/Russia’ collusion story that has yet to produce anything beyond made-up stories and ‘anonymous’ insiders.

    It seems Assange realizes time is running out for him in exile and he needs to do something to do that has evaded the President.

    In a WikiLeaks letter he wrote:

    Hillary Clinton’s crimes will not go unpunished. If she is not formally charged for mishandling sensitive material we will have no choice but to release proof that she is guilty of high treason against the United States for selling patented military secrets to the Saudi Arabian government.

    We also have proof that she is guilty of crimes against Russia, Uzbekistan, Lithuania, Caledonia, and Brazil. The United States would be doing her a favor by putting her in prison and saving her from the severe punishments several of these nations would impose.

    Assange showed his determination to see Clinton indicted by setting an October 21 deadline – indict her yourself or I will release irrefutable proof that she has committed high treason.

  40. GOOGLE CEO SUNDAR PICHAI has refused to answer a list of questions from U.S. lawmakers about the company’s secretive plan for a censored search engine in China.

    In a letter newly obtained by The Intercept, Pichai told a bipartisan group of six senators that Google could have “broad benefits inside and outside of China,” but said he could not share details about the censored search engine because it “remains unclear” whether the company “would or could release a search service” in the country.

    Pichai’s letter contradicts the company’s search engine chief, Ben Gomes, who informed staff during a private meeting that the company was aiming to release the platform in China between January and April 2019. Gomes told employees working on the Chinese search engine that they should get it ready to be “brought off the shelf and quickly deployed.”

  46. CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) – CBD oil is available online, in every state and is commonly found on store shelves across Northeast Ohio; however, it’s illegal and can result in a felony charge.

    So, why the big confusion over the chemical compound?

    “I got pulled over in a traffic stop and long story short, they found CBD oil,” said Robert Faulkner.

    It was July of last year when Faulkner was arrested in Richland County.

    “I tried it for my anxiety. It didn’t work for me at that particular time and I just threw it in the back on my truck,” he said.

    Faulkner said he bought it from a store in Columbus. He said the oil was made and manufactured from a hemp store in Cincinnati.

    “I never went to the store and thought I was buying something that would potentially put me in prison,” he said.

    Faulkner was slapped with two counts of aggravated possession of drugs. He’s awaiting a grand jury trial for the felony charges.

      Thousands flooded streets of London on Saturday to counter the far-right Democratic Football Lads Alliance (DFLA) march.

      Violence broke out between the far-right demonstrators and blocks of police later in the demonstration.

      London Metropolitan Police imposed strict conditions on this weekend’s protests after a previous DFLA rally in Sunderland had ended in violence.

  49. Georgia Dem Gubernatorial Candidate: Blue Wave Will Be ‘Comprised Of Documented & Undocumented’

    Stacey Abrams said the alleged blue wave Democrats are expecting in the 2018 midterm elections is filled with “documented and undocumented” voters.

    “The thing of it is, the blue wave is African American. It is white. It is Latino. It is Asian-Pacific Islander,” Abrams said at a Clayton County campaign office Tuesday in a video obtained by The Washington Free Beacon. “It is made up of those who’ve been told that they are not worthy of being here. It is comprised of those who are documented and undocumented.”

    Illegals have no right to vote ever!

  50. Honduras: Migrant caravan prepares for ‘American Dream’ journey

    A caravan of 500 migrants made preparations to leave in search of the fabled ‘American Dream’ on Friday in the north-western city of San Pedro Sula.

    Children and young people were scattered around the city’s main bus terminal, carrying only the clothes on their back and a few small possessions.

    A father of a large family explained why he was fleeing Honduras. “It’s no use trying to fight in this country,” said Brayan Roberto Vargas. “We are searching for the so-called American Dream, even though we will suffer but we have to do it.”

    Gathered under the slogan of ‘We are not travelling because we want to, violence and poverty forced us out’, the group plans to embark on Sunday.

    They will march across Guatemala and into Mexico, where they hope to obtain transit VISAs or seek asylum. From there, some intend to make the final crossing into the United States.
