Each day at just after midnight Eastern, a post like this one is created for contributors and readers of this site to upload news links and video links on the issues that concern this site. Most notably, Islam and its effects on Classical Civilization, and various forms of leftism from Soviet era communism, to postmodernism and all the flavours of galloping statism and totalitarianism such as Nazism and Fascism which are increasingly snuffing out the classical liberalism which created our near, miraculous civilization the West has been building since the time of Socrates.

This document was written around the time this site was created, for those who wish to understand what this site is about. And while our understanding of the world and events has grown since then, the basic ideas remain sound and true to the purpose.

So please post all links, thoughts and ideas that you feel will benefit the readers of this site to the comments under this post each day. And thank you all for your contributions.

This is the new Samizdat. We muse use it while we can.

  1. Pakistan Shoots Down Two Indian Aircraft Inside its Airspace – Military (sputnniknews, Feb 27, 2019)
    https://sputniknews.com/asia/201902271072783091-pakistan-jets-kashmir-india/

    “On Tuesday, India bombed a terrorist camp in the Pakistani-controlled part of Kashmir, violating the neighbouring country’s airspace. Already-tense bilateral relations have been escalating between the two Asian nuclear powers after mid-February’s suicide attack, which left over 40 Indian paramilitary troops dead.

    Pakistan’s army press service stated that its combat jets shot down two Indian Air Force aircraft that had allegedly violated Pakistani airspace over Kashmir, ANI reported. The strikes were carried out from the Indian-controlled state of Jammu and Kashmir; there has been no information on casualties resulting from the incident so far.

    One Indian pilot has been captured, the Pakistani military added.

    Pakistan’s fighter jets were forced to return to their side of the de facto border of the disputed territory after responding to the violation of Pakistani airspace, AFP reported, citing sources and local media…”

    • Pakistani Media Releases Alleged VIDEO of Captured Indian Pilot (sputniknews, Feb 27, 2019)
      https://sputniknews.com/asia/201902271072787400-pakistan-india-pilot-video-plane-downing/

      “According to Pakistan’s army, two Indian pilots have been captured following the downing of their warplanes by Pakistan amid the escalation of tensions in the wake of Tuesday’s air raid, targeting terrorist infrastructure, conducted by India from Pakistan’s airspace over Kashmir.

      Radio Pakistan has released what it claims is the footage of the captured and injured Indian pilot. On a 49-second video, the alleged pilot says his name and military rank. “My personal number is 27981, I am a Hindu,” the man said.

      As seen in the footage, the man is blindfolded with a rag, and dried blood is visible on his face.

      The authenticity of the video has yet to be confirmed, while Pakistani military said that two Indian pilots had been captured, with one of them needing medical help following the downing of the Indian Air Force aircraft by Pakistan…”

  2. One in Five Migrants in Denmark Say Rape Is Woman’s Fault (sputniknews, Feb 27, 2019)
    https://sputniknews.com/europe/201902271072786144-denmark-migrants-women-rape-attitude/

    “Almost half of Denmark’s rapists are non-Western immigrants, an over-representation researchers attribute to cultural differences as well as a deep-rooted contempt for women.

    17 percent of ethnic minority men surveyed said that Danish women who dress provocatively only have themselves to blame when they’re raped, a survey conducted by Als Research for the Gender Equality Department of the Foreign Ministry has found. The same attitude is shared by 14 percent of immigrant women.

    By contrast, only 5 percent of ethnic Danes believe that the guilt rests with the rape victims themselves.

    Equality Minister Eva Kjer Hansen of the ruling liberal-conservative Venstre Party was astonished that the number is so high.

    “I get really angry about that. Of course, such attitudes are not acceptable, and it emphasises the need for a debate in society about the values that need to prevail,” Eva Kjer Hansen told Danish Radio.

    Hansen stressed that parts of the immigrant minority still doesn’t treat men and women as equals.

    “They still have the attitude that the woman is responsible for child-rearing and the man should always have the last word. There, it is not allowed to have friends from the opposite sex and it is okay for a man to defend his honour with violence,” Hansen stressed, citing the results of the poll.

    Last year, a survey conducted by the newspaper BT discovered that half of those found guilty of rape and attempted rape between January 2016 and May 2017 were immigrants, predominantly from Syria, Somalia, Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iraq and Cameroon. Immigrants and their descendants make up only 12.9 percent of Denmark’s total population.

    Experts ascribed this over-representation to poor integration and cultural differences.

    “These perpetrators, not least group rapists, often exhibit contempt for women, whom they accuse of being whores, which can only be exploited. They must not protest, because they go out and offer themselves,” Christian Diesen, a professor emeritus at Stockholm University said, explaining the rapists’ train of thought. “Often, this attitude also reflects in the police questioning, where they behave arrogantly and besmirch the women as much as possible. They feel no remorse and cannot see that they have done anything wrong because it is seen as the women’s own fault,” Diesen explained.

    Another point of divergence was the issue of homosexuality. One in five migrants (or 22 percent) argued that homosexuality shouldn’t be accepted in society, which clearly contradicts Danish values. Christian Albrekt Larsen, a professor at the Department of Political Science at Aalborg University, argued that this isn’t surprising, given Danes’ liberal attitudes and the existing cultural differences.

    “Over the past 20-30 years we have had a minor revolution among Danes. The Danes are quite extreme when it comes to [the acceptance of homosexuality], whereas non-Western immigrants actually share much of the world’s view”, Larsen said.”

  4. Islamic State Returnees Allegedly Recruiting in Sweden (breitbart, Feb 27, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/02/27/islamic-state-returnees-allegedly-recruiting-sweden/

    “A report has claimed that Islamic State members who have returned to Sweden in recent years have set up “basement mosques” where they have been recruiting new members.
    According to the Swedish Security Service (Säpo), around 150 out of a total of 300 Islamic State supporters and fighters have returned to Sweden. It is believed that some of those returning fighters have begun recruiting new extremists in Malmö, many of them young people, TV4 Nyheterna reports.

    “They can be seen as heroes for young people who are at risk and radicalised. It increases concern, of course, and creates instability. People are worried about their children,” said anti-violent extremism activist Michael Helders.

    A mother in the heavily migrant-populated suburb of Rosengård, which is often referred to as a no-go suburb, who works against the growing influence of jihadists said, “The situation here in Rosengård is really bad.”

    The Swedish National Defence College claims that around 20 Islamic State members currently live in Malmö.

    This comes after a previous survey released in December showed that few municipalities across the country knew of the whereabouts of the returned fighters.

    The local government of Stockholm was only able to identify one out of a possible 35 to 40 fighters who had returned and that individual turned out to live in another municipality entirely.

    So far, Sweden has not prosecuted a single returned Islamic State member, although in a recent interview with broadcaster SVT, prosecutor Karolina Wieslander claimed that there were opportunities to put returning fighters on trial.

    When asked why none had so far been taken to court, Wieslander claimed that “long-term” thinking was required saying, “You can’t see this as if it’s just a matter of punishment. We have to work broadly with these individuals. If they return to Sweden, they must be given the opportunity to return to Swedish society.”

    The problem of radical Islamic extremism has been growing in Sweden in recent years with Peder Hyllengren of the Swedish Defence University claiming the country has become a hub of international Islamic extremism.”

  5. Public Outcry Forces French Retailer to Scrap Sales of Sports Hijab (sputniknews, Feb 26, 2019)
    https://sputniknews.com/europe/201902271072787788-decathlon-abandons-sales-of-running-hijab/

    “Enthusiasm for the veil among consumers in Morocco prompted the company to try and market it in France, but politicians have publicly condemned the garment for its perceived incompatibility with more secular national values.

    French sportswear retailer Decathlon has suspended the launch of its hijab for female runners after a public controversy, the company announced on Tuesday.

    The head covering, which had initially been developed and marketed in Morocco, was scheduled to hit the shelves in March, but “violent controversy” and “threats” went “far beyond our desire to meet the needs of our users,” Decathlon said in a statement.

    In Morocco, the running hijab is sold for 79 dirhams (nearly 7.5 euros). It was designed at the request of local female runners, Decathlon’s head of communications Xavier Rivoire told AFP.

    However, the veil did not go over well with French politicians across the spectrum.

    Aurora Berge, spokesperson for the ruling party La Republique en Marche, tweeted: “My choice as a woman and as a citizen will be to no longer trust a brand that breaks away from our values.”

    Health Minister Agnes Buzyn conceded that the sports veil was not against the law, but said it contrasted with the “vision of the woman” that she shared. “I don’t think it corresponds well to our country’s values,” she said.

    Spokeswoman for the conservative Les Republicains party, Lydia Guirous, accused Decathlon of “submitting to Islamism” and “renouncing the values of our civilisation on the altar of the market and community marketing”.

    Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, the leader of the Gaullist party Debout la France (France Arise), called for a “boycott of the Decathlon brand”.

    This comes just days after a hijab controversy in Sweden, another European country with growing Muslim population, where politicians and citizens alike criticised a welcome sign in the town of Gavle, which features a veiled Muslim woman.

    Europeans remain divided on what Muslim women should and should not wear in public. Several EU member states have enacted legislation which generally prohibits wearing clothes that cover the face and particularly target such traditional Islam garments as the niqab, the headdress that leaves open only the eyes, and burqa, the cloak that covers the full face and body.

    Countries like Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Latvia, the Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland have enacted bans on full-face veils. Norway has banned the burqa in schools and universities, while Germany has introduced a partial burka ban for judges, civil servants and soldiers.”

  6. The Daily Mail reported that home assistants could soon report their owners to the police for breaking the law based on a “Moral A.I.” system, if the ideas of academics in Europe are implemented.
    The newspaper reported that academics at the University of Bergen in Norway discussed the idea of a “moral A.I.” for smart home assistants, like the Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Apple HomePod, during a conference.

    Moral A.I. would reportedly make home assistants have to “decide whether to report their owners for breaking the law,” or whether to stay silent.

    • The newspaper reported that academics at the University of Bergen in Norway discussed the idea of a “moral A.I.” for smart home assistants, like the Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Apple HomePod, during a conference.

      It is only with great difficulty that one can imagine the Herculean struggles these people must endure to overcome such embarrassing indebtedness, much less survive the endless humiliation of being relegated to merely standing on the shoulders of Orwell.

  7. Jackson gay rights leader accused of burning down own home

    Jackson — When the home of Nikki Joly burned down in 2017, killing five pets, the FBI investigated it as a hate crime.

    After all, the transgender man and gay rights activist had received threats after having a banner year in this conservative town.

    In the prior six months, he helped open the city’s first gay community center, organized the first gay festival and, after 18 years of failed attempts, helped lead a bruising battle for an ordinance that prohibits discrimination against gays.

    For his efforts, a local paper named him the Citizen of the Year.

    Authorities later determined the fire was intentionally set, but the person they arrested came as a shock to both supporters and opponents of the gay rights movement. It was the citizen of the year — Nikki Joly.

    “It’s embarrassing,” said Travis Trombley, a gay resident who fought for the ordinance. “How do you do it to the community you have put so much effort into helping?”

    https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2019/02/25/gay-rights-leader-accused-burning-down-home/2816523002/

    • Less well known is how Nikki Joly and Jussie Smollett went to different high schools together. Like other wags have observed, to be truly victimized in such a manner, all that either of these lazy, unimaginative, hoaxing teapots had to was go outdoors wearing a MAGA cap.

      Why these limp-wristed, nancy boy, pantywaists had to make it so difficult for everyone is beyond me. They certainly don’t seem to have any problems catching taking it … easy that is. Easy I say! [/Foghorn Leghorn]

  8. EXCLUSIVE: DOJ Prevented FBI From Pursuing Gross Negligence Charges Against Clinton
    BY JEFF CARLSON
    February 25, 2019 Updated: February 25, 2019 Share

    Early in the Hillary Clinton email case, the Department of Justice reached a decision that would have far-reaching implications in the FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server.

    The Justice Department (DOJ), under then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch, decided to set an unusually high threshold for prosecution of Clinton, effectively ensuring from the outset that she would not be charged.

    In order for Clinton to be prosecuted, the DOJ required the FBI to establish evidence of intent—even though the gross negligence statute explicitly does not require this.

    This meant that the FBI would have needed to find a smoking gun, such as an email or an admission made during FBI questioning, revealing Clinton or her aides knowingly set up the private email server to send classified information.

  9. Bonus point: Serious effort to commit $90 trillion to GND would blow up money as we know it
    By J.E. Dyer February 26, 2019

    LU contributor Hans Bader wrote on Monday about estimates that implementing the “Green New Deal” could cost $90 trillion or more; i.e., more than four times the current U.S. national debt, and more than four times the current U.S. GDP.

    As Howard Portnoy noted on Tuesday, the basic outline of the Green New Deal was offered by New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman in 2007:

    https://libertyunyielding.com/2019/02/26/bonus-point-serious-effort-to-commit-90-trillion-to-gnd-would-blow-up-money-as-we-know-it/

    Richard: Click thru and read the entire article, she does a very good job of laying out what trying to implement the GND would do to the world’s economy. She also goes into great detail of what destroying the US Dollar as the worlds reserve currency would entail and the economic chaos that would ensue.

    Then she lays out the probable actions of China and other aggressor nations if we go back to the Gold Standard without some strong nation to act as the world’s policeman.

    Will implementing the GND destroy the US economy?

    Yes it will.

    Will implementing the GND destroy the worlds economy?

    Yes, once you take down one many nation the entire world economic system will collapse. It would be utter chaos with no nation having the money to pay their military and police. This would mean that everyone would be dependent on themselves and their neighbors for protection.

    How long would the chaos last?

    Good question, a minimum of one decade and probably several decades before things settle down so the various groups can catch their breaths and rearm. The easiest way to visualize what will be happening will be to look at the 100 years war with modern weapons with every nation on earth in on the fighting.

    This would destroy the idea of the nanny state, since the world is building to a major economic crisis we can expect a lot of the above to happen.

    • Child separation

      Unlike with the cartoon, when it comes to detaching human smugglers from the kids who’re being used as immigration beards, I suspect it’s the same way like how you separate the men from the boys in today’s Turkish army, with a crowbar.

  10. Dems consider voting ‘present’ on Green New Deal to shield each other
    By Daily Caller News Foundation February 27, 2019

    Democrats may simply vote “present” if the Green New Deal resolution is put up for vote on the Senate floor, protecting members of their caucus from taking a public stance on the contentious resolution.

    “I’m still pondering it. A lot of Democrats may vote — we’ll see, but a lot of us may vote ‘present’ on the cloture motion,” stated Delaware Democratic Sen. Tom Carper, who serves as the ranking member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, according to E&E News on Monday.

    The possible strategy comes as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell looks to put the Green New Deal up for a vote sometime this week. GOP leadership, which has lampooned the resolution, wants to use the vote to force Democrats into taking a public stance on the dramatic call for 100% renewable energy and other far-left proposals.

    https://libertyunyielding.com/2019/02/27/dems-consider-voting-present-on-green-new-deal-to-shield-each-other/

    • This tactic pretty much destroys the idea that there are Moderate Democrats who support big government but not Socialism/Marxism. By shielding the far left Marxist they are saying we support Marxist goals we just don’t want to move as fast. They are also saying that they are doing this to keep Republicans from gaining more seats in Congress because they won’t say the Republicans to undo the socialist programs that Obama put in place.

      Welcome to the future the libs want for us, they were very close to achieving their goal of total control of the US and then PT was elected. Now they are desperate to remove him from office before he can do more to restore the US to being a Representative Republic with Freedom for all and the rule of law with everyone being equal under the law.

  11. Is N. Dakota State University covering up student immigration fraud facilitated by Ilhan Omar?

    Is North Dakota State University Covering Up Student Immigration Fraud Facilitated By Ilhan Omar?

    During her campaign, Omar was accused of marrying her brother for the purposes of committing immigration fraud when it was revealed that she was legally married to two people at the same time, and new documents from North Dakota State University (NDSU) strongly suggest Omar may have committed student loan fraud through her marriage with Elmi (believed to be her brother).

    On a marriage certificate dated February 12, 2009, it says that Ilhan Abdullaahi Omar married a man by the name of Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in Hennepin County, Minnesota, who she herself identified as a British citizen.

    On another application dated September 30, 2002, Omar applied for a marriage license in Minnesota to marry the father of her children, Ahmed “Hirsi”, otherwise known as Ahmed Aden.

    As both marriage license applications filled out by Omar reveals, both her legal husband and her “cultural husband” have the same first name, Ahmed.

    At the time of her marriage to Elmi, Omar was said to be attending North Dakota State University with Elmi.

    According to Christopher Wilson, Chief of Staff at the Office of the President at NDSU, Elmi attended NDSU as a student of art from the fall of 2010- Spring of 2012. In an email, Wilson said that Omar graduated in 2011, which would mean that Elmi stayed in North Dakota for a full year after Omar, who was then his legal on paper wife, graduated.

  12. Under Calif. bill, identity of more child rapists would be kept confidential
    By Howard Portnoy February 27, 2019

    Think of it as a societal variation on “Don’t ask, don’t tell” customized for the twenty-first century. It is Senate Bill 145, and it was introduced in the California state legislature in late January by Democratic Sen. Scott Wiener in the hopes of ending “discrimination against LGBT people.” What it does in actuality is it conceals the public identity of selected pederasts.

    SB 145 would be an amendment to the current statute — the Sex Offender Registration Act — under which a pedophile is not required to register as a sex offender provided (1) his “partner” is within ten years of his age and (2) the sex act consists of vaginal intercourse. “Since LGBT people usually cannot engage in vaginal intercourse,” the law in Wiener’s view is discriminatory.

    As the senator, who is himself gay, explained in a statement:

  13. BBC – Fractured France: “there will be a civil war”

    Yellow vest protestors have caused havoc on the streets on France for the past 15 weeks, driven by anger over fuel taxes, the cost of living, and a political system they detest. Now, President Macron has promised to listen to people’s frustrations and make changes.

    But does he have what it takes to see off the protesters, or is France heading for a civil war? The Nine’s Europe Correspondent Jean Mackenzie has taken a road trip across the country to find out.

    • The other European Governments need to pay attention to what the French people are saying, they have taken to the streets but the rest of Europe is not far behind them.

      For that matter the Canadian Government and the Dems need to pay attention, both are acting like the European Governments and ignoring the people they are suppose to serve.

  14. A mural that depicts a Grim Reaper wearing a cloak covered with Stars of David, holding what appears to be a dead baby and a missile, was blasted by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s office as a “shameful act of anti-Semitism.”

    The mayor learned of the mural on Tuesday through posts on social media, said his spokesman, Alex Comisar.

    “Imagery like this should have no place in our city,” Comisar said. “Mayor Garcetti was incredibly upset by it. We’re looking into the recourse that we have to have it taken down.”

    The mural is painted on a brick building that’s home to the Vortex, a 400-person event space in downtown Los Angeles.

    Martina Markota, a video host for the conservative news website Rebel Media, reported on social media that Chase sent her a letter earlier this month stating that it would terminate service to her business, Magnum Opus Productions LLC, which is linked to her graphic novel, “Lady Alchemy.”

  18. Bill Maher’s Smug Red State Mockery Couldn’t Be More Wrong

    In 2013, HBO’s Bill Maher threatened to leave California over their insane taxes. “I just want to say liberals — you could actually lose me. It’s outrageous what we’re paying — over 50 percent. I’m willing to pay my share, but yeah, it’s ridiculous,” a reasonable Maher said. Ironically, he’s now generating controversy over recent comments arguing that Republicans are secretly jealous of people who get to live in California.

    “That’s why red state voters are so pissed off. They don’t hate us, they want to be us. They want to go to the party. It’s like we’re the British royal family and they’re Meghan Markle’s dad…Maybe that has something to do with why Trump voters are obsessed with ‘owning the libs.’ Because the libs own everything else,” Maher quipped. “The blue parts of America are having a big prosperity party while that big sea of red feels like their invitation got lost in the mail.” Giving an analogy that’s as smug as it is lazy, Maher concluded: “We have chef Wolfgang Puck, they have Chef Boyardee.”

  19. A governor of the NHS trust in charge of England’s flagship child sex change clinic has resigned in protest amidst allegations it was “fast-tracking” young people into gender reassignment as a result of pressure from “highly politicised” LGBT campaigners.
    Breaking off a 35-year-long association with the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, Marcus Evans quit after it dismissed an internal report branding its Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) “not fit for purpose”.

    “Adolescence and childhood is a time when people are developing socially and biologically — a time when young people are identifying with different groups, and with male and female aspects of themselves,” Mr Evans told the BBC’s Today programme Monday.

    “There is pressure from the child who is in a distressed state, there is pressure from the family and the peer group and from the pro-trans lobbies — and all of this puts pressure on the clinician who may want to help the individual to resolve their distressed state by going along with a quick solution.

    “There is a lot at stake here as these decisions have far reaching consequences,” the consultant psychotherapist warned, speaking after he told the Sunday Times that GIDS was trying to “dismiss or undermine” concerns raised by its own medical staff in a leaked review compiled late last year.

  20. According to a report from the Cornell Sun, students at Cornell University have gradually been exposed to an increasing array of plant-based menu choices that have even gone as far as to corrupt the classic American hamburger. What many students consider to be the classic all-meat version of a beef hamburger has sneakily been turned into a 30 percent vegetable-based version using ground-up mushrooms as a base.

    “Instead of just being completely plant-based, we just up the veggies. We’re increasing the amount of plant and decreasing the amount of [meat],” said Michele Lefebvre, Cornell Dining’s director of nutrition management. “That’s kind of been our stealth way of approaching it.”

    In the article, Lefebvre also emphasized that she is currently overseeing a variety of campus menu initiatives that are designed to reduce the emphasis on utilizing meat in student dining options, choosing instead to focus on various ways that the school can sneakily force students to consume more veggies.

    “We’re always striving to make something plant-based,” Lefebvre said. “So, for example, if we can make a soup kind of base using pureed cauliflower, we definitely aim to try and do that.”

  21. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib Wants Another Financial Crisis
    Posted at 11:30 am on February 27, 2019 by Joe Cunningham

    I don’t know much about Rashida Tlaib, other than the many, many accusations of being an anti-Semitic radical leftist (based on her anti-Semitic tweets – many of which have been deleted – I don’t disagree). However, what is becoming increasingly obvious is that she, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and this new wave of politicians, have no idea what they are doing.

    Case in point, this is Tlaib claiming that your credit score is unnecessary for purchasing a car.

  22. The RCMP is preparing for the return of at least a dozen Canadians detained in Syria amidst the collapse of the so-called Islamic State, a senior law enforcement official has told Global News.

    The capture of suspected Canadian ISIS members, and uncertainty over their fate due to a planned U.S. troop withdrawal from Syria, has prompted the RCMP to ramp up preparations for their possible arrival.

    As part of a national strategy now being put in place, police are working with prosecutors to prepare charges and peace bonds against the detainees, and speaking with allies to manage their return to Canada.

    My innocuous tweet featured a compilation image of the 12 Muhammad cartoons published by Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten in 2005. It also linked to my Jan. 8, 2015, syndicated column on the Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre in Paris. There’s no hate, violence, profanity or pornography, just harmless drawings and peacefully expressed opinions about the Western media’s futile attempts to appease the unappeasable enforcers of sharia law, which bans all insults of Islam.

    The Twitter notice assured me that the company “has not taken any action on the reported content at this time,” yet advised me that I should “consult legal counsel about this matter” in response to complaints from unnamed “authorized entities.”

    Don’t worry, lawyer up? Gulp.

  24. Recent Facebook insider leaks released by Project Veritas reveal that the social media giant’s demoting of conservative content isn’t just done by human moderators, it’s built right into the code of the website as a technical action called “deboosting.”

    Project Veritas latest bombshell report reveals inside info from Facebook. One of the most shocking revelations from the report is that Mark Zuckerberg’s suppression of conservative content on the platform isn’t just the result of heavy-handed moderation by human employees, but is actually built right into the code of the site.

    Project Veritas reports:

    According to the insider, the documents revealed a routine suppression of the distribution of conservative Facebook pages. The technical action she repeatedly saw, and for which Project Veritas was provided documentation, was labeled ActionDeboostLiveDistribution. Said the insider, “I would see [this term] appear on several different conservative pages. I first noticed it with an account that I can’t remember, but I remember once I started looking at it, I also saw it on Mike Cernovich’s page, saw it on Steven Crowder’s page, as well as the Daily Caller’s page.”

    Conservative commentator Steven Crowder’s page had been suppressed before in April 2016, and Crowder told Project Veritas they settled a dispute related to the issue with Facebook out of court.

    A vegan YouTube star has revealed he ‘ejaculated for the first time in months’ after eating salmon following six years on a plant-based diet.

    Tim Shieff, a vegan campaigner and world champion free-runner, released an emotional YouTube video last November in which he admitted abandoning veganism because he was ‘desperate’ to boost his health.

    The 30-year-old, who boasts 175,000 YouTube subscribers and more than 85,000 Instagram followers, said eating raw eggs and salmon rejuvenated his depleted body.

    He went on to reveal the fish helped him orgasm – something he was struggling to do on his plant-based diet.

    • A new paper written by zoologist Dr Susan Crockford to mark International Polar Bear Day today has found that global polar bear numbers have continued to rise. Numbers have been steadily increasing since 2005, with 2018 data estimating the highest number of polar bears globally since they were protected by international treaty in 1973.

      Numbers are so high that Inuit leaders have been pleading with he Canadian government for more polar bear population control as violent attacks against native populations have dramatically risen in recent years. Far from the 2007 predictions of a 67% decline in global polar bear numbers, the new report reveals that numbers have risen to the highest levels in decades. Happy International Polar Bear Day!

  28. Eric Holder calls for an end to the electoral college: ‘It’s undemocratic’

    Former Attorney General Eric Holder, who is considering a 2020 presidential bid, called Tuesday to abolish the electoral college, saying it’s a “vestige of the past.”

    “It’s undemocratic, forces candidates to ignore majority of the voters and campaign in a small number of states (Richard: as opposed to campaigning in about 6 cities that have enough voters to elect the President). The presidency is our one national office and should be decided – directly – by the voters,” Mr. Holder said on Twitter.

    The potential Democratic presidential candidate issued the tweet while linking to an article from The Washington Post that notes nearly a dozen traditionally blue states have passed legislation to circumvent the electoral college.

    The push comes after President Trump won in 2016 by 77 electoral college votes, but lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by more than 2.8 million.

    Mr. Holder has said he’ll decide whether to seek the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination sometime in March.

    http://www.gopusa.com/?p=65746?omhide=true

    Richard: Those of you who live in Canada know what I am talking about, the big cities determine who controls Parliament and those who live outside the big cities and a couple of provinces have no say in what happens. The argument about direct election sounds good until you realize that most of the states would have no say in who is President. And they are calling for us to change things so Senators are apportioned by the number of people in an area so the big population states would have a lot of representation and the lower population states little to none.

    The Dems want to change things so they are always elected and the voters are nothing but serfs. If Hillary had won they would have had her pushing for these changes and more. The Democrat Party does not believe in democracy or freedom, they believe in a self anointed left win elite having all of the power. If they could get Dems in power for 16 to 24 years they would stop all elections and have the Dem Party decide who is the new President after the old one dies.

  29. Gun rights, 51st state are linked, Shea tells rally

    OLYMPIA – Striding back and forth across the marbled Rotunda with the flag of the proposed state of Liberty behind him, Rep. Matt Shea drew a connection between supporting gun rights and splitting Washington at the crest of the Cascade Mountains.

    Despite all the talk he’s heard about “One Washington” around the Capitol, Eastern Washington and liberal downtown Seattle are very different, the Spokane Valley Republican said. Residents of the latter might support more government regulations, higher taxes and gun control; residents of the former don’t, he said.

    About 50 people gathered in chairs and on the steps around him cheered and clapped.

    “We’re not going to live in a state that takes away our firearms,” he said, to more cheers. “The only solution left is a 51st state.”

    To those in Western Washington who point out that Eastern Washington gets more back in taxes than it pays into the state coffers, Shea said future 51st staters should just reply, “We don’t want to be a burden any longer. Let us go.”

    http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2019/feb/15/gun-rights-51st-state-are-linked-shea-tells-rally/

    Richard: Since either 3/4th or 2/3rds of the state legislatures need to vote to approve a new state it is unlikely this will happen. There are too many states that are anti gun to vote for one that would have real common sense gun laws.

  31. CHRISTIANITY CRACKDOWN: Thugs deface church with threatening graffiti – ‘you are FINISHED’ (express, Feb 27, 2019)
    https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1093399/christian-persecution-christianity-turkey-armenian-church-christianity-news

    “A CHRISTIAN group has urged Turkey to take immediate action to address hate crimes against those practising the faith after vandals defaced a church with menacing graffiti.

    Thugs in the Turkish capital Istanbul spray painted threats on an Armenian church with messages in both English and Arabic warning “you are finished”. Security cameras recorded the vandals spraying the “racist and hate speech” on the walls and door of the Armenian Church of the Holy Mother of God, International Christian Concern (ICC) reports. The incident has drawn widespread condemnation from across Turkey’s Armenian community, which the prosecution watchdog says is frequently harassed and targeted through hate crimes.

    Garo Paylan, an Armenian Member of Parliament, tweeted: “A hate attack has been carried out against Balat Surp Hreshdagabet Armenian Church.

    “Every year, scores of hate attacks are being carried out against churches and synagogues. Not just the perpetrators, but also the people who are behind them, should be addressed.

    “For the most important part, the politics that produce hate should be ended.”

    Around one million Armenians were killed by the Ottoman Empire, which would later become Turkey, in a slaughter which began during World War One…”

  33. Illegals Target Cops
    Another criminal Mexican illegal opens fire on an American police officer.
    February 27, 2019
    Lloyd Billingsley

    As the San Francisco Chronicle reported last week, Napa County sheriff’s deputy Riley Jarecki stopped to examine a red Honda in a parking lot. She was speaking with the driver when the man pulled out a handgun and shot the officer. The cop then pulled her service weapon and fired “at least 15 shots” into the vehicle, all captured on her body camera.

    Jarecki was not yet aware that the driver, Javier Hernandez-Morales, 43, also had a loaded rifle in the Honda. The “undocumented immigrant” died at the scene, but there was more to the story.

    Hernandez-Morales, a Mexican national, had been deported three times, twice in 2007 and once in 2010. ICE had issued four separate detainers related to arrests on suspicion of driving under the influence, battery on a peace officer, selling liquor to a minor and unknown probation violations. As the Chronicle reported, “none of the detainers was honored by jail staff.” If these and other detainers had not been refused, according to immigration officials, “this incident may have been prevented.”

    Jon Rodney of the California Immigrant Policy Center, which fights deportation, did not decry the Mexican criminal’s attack on a female American police officer, any other crimes Hernandez-Morales had committed, or his unlawful presence in the country. As Rodney told the Chronicle, “We have seen how ICE and the president politicize tragedy, and I think that is irresponsible and wrong.”

  34. Five men stabbed, one fatally, as a wave of violence sweeps London (telegraph, Feb 27, 2019)
    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/02/27/five-men-stabbed-one-day-london-capital-hit-wave-violence/

    “Murder detectives are probing the death of a man in east London amid a spate of stabbings in the capital.

    The victim, believed to have been in his 20s, was stabbed near Ilford Station on Tuesday night and died at the scene.

    The man is thought to have been the fifth person to be stabbed in London on Tuesday – and the fourth in less than eight hours.

    There have now been 17 homicides in London so far this year, six of which happened in nine days.

    The Metropolitan Police said it was called to reports of a stabbing at Cranbrook Road in Ilford, east London, at 8.48pm.

    The victim was pronounced dead at the scene about half an hour later.

    Zamirullah Stanikzai, 21, who works in a phone shop close to where the attack took place, said he saw two men brandishing knives.

    “I saw people running up and down the station when I went out,” he said.

    Ilford South MP Mike Gapes tweeted that he was “shocked and saddened” by the killing.

    The Met said a murder probe had been opened, while no arrests had yet been made.

    Tuesday in the capital got off to a bloody start when a 25-year-old man was left critically injured in a stabbing in Enfield, north London.

    Police were called to Green Street at 12.40am and the man was taken to hospital for treatment, while three men – aged 24, 26 and 27 – were arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder.

    Officers responded to another incident in Enfield on Tuesday afternoon where a man in his 30s was stabbed in the thigh following an “altercation” on Parsonage Road at around 1.50pm.

    The man was later discharged from hospital, while a man arrested at the scene on suspicion of grievous bodily harm was taken into custody.

    A few hours later a male, reported to be a teenager, was stabbed at South Ruislip Underground in west London.

    British Transport Police said it was called to reports of a disturbance at the station shortly before 4.30pm.

    The victim was taken to hospital for treatment for a stab wound to his abdomen, which was not thought to be life threatening.

    Around two hours later police were called to a stabbing in Victoria Road in Romford, east London.

    An 18-year-old man was taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

    The fatal stabbing later on Tuesday night was the fifth homicide in London in nine days.

    On February 18 Bright Akinleye, 22, died in the lobby of a luxury hotel in Euston Street in Camden, central London, after being stabbed outside.

    Glendon Spence, 23, died after being stabbed at a youth club in Brixton, south London, on February 21.

    The following day a 19-year-old man was stabbed to death in Wood Green, north London, while on February 25 a man was fatally stabbed in a fight in Tower Hamlets, east London.”

  35. Police Warn City of Cambridge Is Unprepared for Terror Attack (breitbart, Feb 27, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/02/27/police-warn-famous-university-city-is-unprepared-terror-attack/

    “Counter-terror police have warned Cambridge that it needs to do more to prevent vehicular terror attacks, as historic cities across the country introduce anti-terror barriers along their cobbled streets.

    The counter-terror police report, requested by Cambridge City Council to “assess the vehicular borne threat to Cambridge, and advise on how this might best be mitigated,” found “a number of existing vulnerabilities to a potential attack” and recommended traffic control measures for certain areas, reports CambridgeshireLive.

    The Counter Terror Unit (CTU) said that there is no specific threat against the medieval city, but that the threat “nationally, is real” — a sobering reminder that whilst a number of mainly Islamist vehicular terror attacks have been committed in London, any major city could be targetted, as well.

    One part of the city identified as of “urgent concern” was on King’s Parade, which is home to King’s College (pictured) and its chapel, world-renowned for its choir.

    The “principle and urgent recommendation emerging is the need to better control traffic access from the south along Trumpington Street,” the report reads, and recommends “chicane-style arrangements… and a physical barrier north of Bene’t Street that would resist penetration by a vehicle approaching at speed.”

    Cambridge is not alone in having to take precautions to reduce the impact of a terror attack, with Windsor, Oxford, York, and Edinburgh already having measures in place…”

  36. Will the Senate GOP Allow Islamists to Drag Us Into Their Fight With China?
    Why the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act is a mistake.
    February 27, 2019
    Daniel Greenfield

    The Senate is stewing with resolutions that are little more than Islamist wish lists. Last year they were aimed at defending Qatar, a key sponsor of the Muslim Brotherhood, over a blockade imposed on it by the Saudis, defending Qatari terror lobbyist Jamal Khashoggi, and demanding that the United States and the Saudis stop bombing Iran’s Houthi terrorists whose motto is, “Death to America”.

    These resolutions were meant to pressure President Trump into reversing his policies and letting Islamist lobbyists set the foreign policy agenda for the United States the way they had under Obama. They disregarded basic facts, such as Khashoggi’s politics, Qatar’s support for terrorism and the Houthis causing the famine in Yemen by ransacking food aid, and instead repeated Islamist propaganda.

    They were backed by the usual Senate suspects, Bob Corker, Lindsey Graham and Bernie Sanders.

    Now some Senate Republicans are pushing another terrible idea from the Islamist lobby, the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2019. The legislation targets China’s crackdown on Islamic separatist terror.

  37. Radical #RedForEd Gears Up To Take on Trump in 2020
    Egged on by an actual Red, the fledgling movement is developing into a threat to Republicans.

    Matthew Vadum

    A 24-year-old Marxist schoolteacher in Arizona has become the public face of a new political movement launched last year that is organizing to defeat President Trump in 2020 and reclaim the U.S. Senate for Democrats.

    The teacher’s name is Noah Karvelis and the movement is called #RedForEd, Michael Patrick Leahy reports at Breitbart News.

    Karvelis, a Bernie Sanders donor and campaign volunteer, is one leader in a new wave of radical teacher activists.

    How radical is he?

    Karvelis gave a speech to the Socialism 2018 conference held in Chicago in July 2018. The confab was put on by a Trotskyist group called the International Socialist Organization.

    “We’ve created an organization now. We have a network of 2,000 leaders who are experienced. They’ve been out on a job action. They’ve organized their campuses. They’ve collected signatures for a ballot initiative,” Karvelis told 1,800 socialists from across the fruited plain.
