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.

  2. Trump admits failure of US policies in Syria, Iraq (aa, Mar 3, 2019)

    “U.S. president on Saturday criticized his country’s foreign policies in Iraq and Syria, saying that his administration will focus on fixing up America’s infrastructure rather than fighting “endless wars”.

    During his two-hour speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Donald Trump said that Daesh will be defeated “hundred percent” in a day or two and reiterated his administration’s firmness to pull American troops.

    “We will leave a small group of guys and gals [soldiers] but we want to bring our people back home. It is time,” Trump said in the annual event in National Harbor, Maryland.

    “We would be in Syria for 4 months but we ended up 5 years. Just funny.”

    He slammed the Middle East policies of former U.S. governments, recalling his first-time visit to Iraq in 2017 when they had to turn off all the lights at the military plane before landing for security purposes.

    “Think of this. We spent seven trillion dollars in the Middle East and we can’t land a plane with lights on, 20 years later. How bad is that!” Trump said.

    He also criticized his former defense secretary James Mattis and other generals in Syria and Iraq for being too slow in finishing Daesh and said that he learns more about what is going on from the soldiers than generals.

    The president added that he is not going to be a president who will sit behind his desk, hinting direct involvement in all military policies and commitment to major withdrawal from the Middle East.”

  3. Turkey: US must list PYD/YPG as terrorist group (aa, Mar 2, 2019)
    https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/turkey-us-must-list-pyd-ypg-as-terrorist-group/1407466

    “Just as it does for the terrorist PKK, the U.S. must also list the PYD/YPG as a terrorist group, Turkey’s Foreign Ministry said Saturday.

    “The U.S. State Department stressed the commitment to the fight against the PKK. We expect the United States to show the same approach against the PYD/YPG in the region,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hami Aksoy said in a statement.

    On Friday, the State Department officially reiterated that the PKK is a terrorist group, but said nothing about the PYD/YPG, its terrorist branch.

    The U.S. has worked with the PYD/YPG in Syria to fight Daesh, but Ankara has repeatedly criticized this arrangement, arguing that using one terrorist group to fight another makes no sense.

    In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK — listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU — has been responsible for the death of some 40,000 people. The PYD/YPG is its Syrian branch.

    The State Department first designated the PKK as a terrorist group in 1997, and through this designation the PKK is denied access to the U.S. financial system. The designation helps U.S. agencies and governments in law enforcement in relation to the PKK and anyone deemed a member of the terror group.”

  4. Criminal group behind 330 crimes in Sweden, investigation finds (thelocal, Mar 2, 2019)
    https://www.thelocal.se/20190302/criminal-group-behind-330-crimes-in-sweden-investigation-finds

    “A group of 20 young men are responsible for as many as 330 crimes in the area around Järva in northern Stockholm, according to a Swedish media report.

    The men, now aged between 17 and 24 years, have been found guilty of serious crimes including murder, drugs-related crime, firearms offences, robbery and assault, an investigation by newspaper Svenska Dagbladet revealed.

    They are reported to be involved in a gang conflict which has been ongoing in the area since the summer of 2015. Police suspect that seven murders can be linked to the organised crime conflict, but only one of those cases has so far led to a conviction.

    The majority of the 20 individuals have received social services support from a young age.

    Half have been placed in care in accordance with Sweden’s special legal provisions for custody of minors, LVU, according to Svenska Dagbladet’s report.”

    • The majority of the 20 individuals have received social services support from a young age.

      Codespeak for “immigrant”. Anything, absolutely anything, rather than identify these incorrigible and habitual hardcore thugs as Muslim.

      If the game weren’t already into extra innings, Sweden could have served as a vivid object lesson to all remaining EU countries. Instead, in its preening, sanctimonious, self-congratulatory glory, it has been a beacon of virtue signaling to rival the Pharos of Alexandria.

      I will be the first to make this grisly prediction. If and when Europe is swept clean of this filth; modern, low cost, mitochondrial DNA testing will be used to detect even non-obvious cases of mixed blood during the mass deportations.

      Parents of these interbred children will have an option of departing to their spouse’s country of origin (or ancestry), with the sole alternative being divorce without visitation privileges.

      This will be the only meaningful way of chlorinating Sweden’s (or Europe’s) gene pool to rid it of so much slime and detritus. Otherwise, this country’s original value as a resource base for recovery of the Caucasian race is pretty well shot (save only for outlying, rural areas). In almost every other role, this Scandinavian nation has lost whatever significance it may once have had.

      All involved should heave a massive sigh of relief if this can be accomplished with resorting to cattle cars and ovens. Yes, it’s that bad and whatever various pro-immigration coteries in Stockholm, Berlin, Paris, and London ought to be on the very first outbound passenger manifest. I’ve heard that Dhaka is very nice this time of year…

  5. Two French journalists sacked after online bullying scandal (thelocal, Mar 2, 2019)
    https://www.thelocal.fr/20190302/two-french-journalists-sacked-after-online-bullying-scandal

    “Two French journalists were sacked Friday for their part in an online bullying scandal that has shaken the country’s media, industry sources told AFP.

    David Doucet, the web editor of the hip Les Inrockuptibles magazine, and his deputy Francois-Luc Doyez, are the first to lose their jobs for their involvement in the macho social media “boy’s club” called the “League of LOL”.

    A source at the magazine told AFP that its management had taken the decision because of the men’s “unprofessional conduct”.

    Members of the male-dominated closed Facebook group were accused of targeting their feminist and minority colleagues for online abuse.

    The French government has vowed to tighten laws on hate speech and harassment in the wake of the scandal, which broke last month.

    Doucet had already admitted setting up false celebrity social media accounts and being behind two telephone hoaxes, including one designed to humiliate a female television presenter.

    He had apologised for the “disgustingness” of his acts on Twitter soon after the extent of the group’s campaigns of bullying were revealed by three French media outlets.

    Several journalists and public relations executives who belonged to the 30-strong “League of LOL” group have either been suspended or stepped down, with France’s Digital Affairs Minister Mounir Mahjoubi labelling them “losers”.”

  6. EXCLUSIVE: Notorious killer, gang founder and ISIS supporter Bassam Hamzy has his sentence for bashing a prison officer quashed – because the judge says his jail conditions are enough punishment (dailymail, Mar 3, 2019)
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6728063/Bassam-Hazmy-wins-support-judge-saus-Goulburn-Supermax-jail-oppressive.html

    “One of Australia’s most notorious prisoners has won sympathy from a judge who believes the killer is already suffering by being inside the nation’s toughest prison.

    Bassam Hamzy, 39, was appealing his 20-month sentence extension for bashing a Goulburn Supermax prison officer when a judge agreed the ‘oppressive’ conditions of the jail were punishment enough.

    The ISIS sympathiser grinned as Acting Judge Geoffrey Graham told the New South Wales District Court last week that he was quashing the additional sentence.

    Hamzy was originally jailed for the 1998 shooting murder of a teenager outside a Sydney nightclub and has been a menace since entering custody. He founded the Brothers 4 Life gang from behind bars and ran a drug ring from his jail cell.

    Acting Judge Graham told the court Hamzy had been wrongly punished twice for his 2017 attack on a prison officer, first by losing his jail privileges and secondly through the extension to his already lengthy sentence…”

    • One of Australia’s most notorious prisoners has won sympathy from a judge who believes the killer is already suffering by being inside the nation’s toughest prison.

      Too bad it’s no longer possible to have Acting Judge Geoffrey Graham (with mouth firmly duct-taped shut) spend some time with Prisoner No. 7 in Spandau. There are always new layers of punishment that can be added, even in a Supermax.

      Fecking hell, isn’t this what Supermax facilities were designed for? Also, what prisoner-handling protocols were so obviously breached to where this Islamic even got a chance at: “bashing a Goulburn Supermax prison officer”?

      To my knowledge, Supermax inmates are cuffed and secured before they are even let out of their (solitary confinement) cells. The guard who allowed this to happen—and thereby give Bassam Hamzy any opportunity to publicly whinge about this in front of a mollycoddling judge—deserves a fortnight’s sample of his own wares.

      The moral of this story being that incarceration is supposed to be uncomfortable and there is much in the way of extra discomforts to be had. After all, isn’t that why the death penalty was invented?

      • I thought the death penalty was developed to keep the government from having the expense of housing and feeding the prisoner for the rest of his life.

        Of course the anti-death penalty groups have managed to stop that effect of the death penalty.

  7. Three men are wanted for questioning over wild shooting at Melbourne boxing match that left one man dead and two others critical (dailymail, Mar 3, 2019)
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6765475/Homicide-cops-three-men-wanted-questioning-fatal-shooting-Melbourne-Pavilion.html

    “Three men are wanted for questioning over the fatal shooting of a man at a crowded boxing tournament.

    A trio of men in their 30s were shot after a night out at the Melbourne Pavilion in Kensington, north of the city, turned violent on Friday.

    Victoria Police initially said two men fled the scene, pleading with the public for information over the ‘extremely disturbing’ attack.

    On Sunday, however, police announced they were in fact searching for three men, taking the unorthodox step of revealing their names and picturing them.

    Family members Abdullah and Ali El Nasher, 27 and 28 respectively, and Mikhael Myko, 25, are all wanted for questioning over the triple shooting.

    A 30-year-old was killed out the front of the North Melbourne venue, while a 32 and 34-year-old man were rushed to hospital.

    The elder of the two remains in a critical condition with life-threatening injuries and the other is in a stable condition.

    The 34-year-old man is believed to have been shot in the upper-body a number of times, while the younger was shot in the leg.

    Victoria Police’s Detective Sergeant Sol Solomon said the three victims were all known to police and the attack was ‘targeted’, though they were yet to establish a motive.

    However, underworld sources say the triple shooting was reportedly an escalation of an ongoing feud linked to a suspicious warehouse fire nearly a month ago, The Age reported…”

  8. UK: Bangladeshi Migrant Rapes Boy, 15, in Public Park (breitbart, mar 2, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/03/02/uk-bangladeshi-migrant-rapes-boy-15-public/

    “A 15-year-old boy was raped twice by a Bangladeshi migrant who gave him a cannabis joint which made him feel “dizzy” in Bolton, north-west England.

    Mohammed Suman, 33, approached the boy near the city’s town hall on July 2nd last year and offered him the drugs in order to “ingratiate himself and bring about a sense of confidence” with him, said Judge Timothy Stead in comments reported by Bolton News.

    Suman persuaded the boy to go for a walk with him, then “asked for sex on a number of occasions… [the boy] repeatedly said no,” explained Juliet Berry, prosecuting.

    The Bangladeshi, who arrived in Britain in 2003, did not take no for an answer, however, manhandling the boy against a fence, pulling down his pants, and raping him.

    The teenager eventually managed to separate himself from Suman and tried to get away through Queens Park, but soon realised he was tracking him.

    Ms Berry said the 15-year-old “told him to go away” but he instead he raped his victim a second time…”

    “Kurds, during the work of the Syrian constitutional committee, will push for a change of the Syrian Arab Republic’s name, so that it will not contain any national or religious affiliation, a Kurdish delegate to the Erbil forum on security and sovereignty in the Middle East has told Sputnik.

    “In particular, the country’s official name — the Syrian Arab Republic — should be changed to the ‘Republic of Syria,’ without mentioning any specific national or religious affiliation. In addition, a new system for Syria should be based on democratic principles and be decentralised, as proposed by the Syrian Democratic Council”, the Kurdish delegate said…”

    • Kurds, during the work of the Syrian constitutional committee, will push for a change of the Syrian Arab Republic’s name, so that it will not contain any national or religious affiliation…

      Paging Malca (and yucki) to the white courtesy phone.

      It’s difficult not to believe that this is an intentional ploy to obtain greater global support by leaving the usual “Islamic Republic of $h!thølistan” out of whatever prospective name.

      The Kurds, being Muslims, are therefore obliged to remain suspect for the next few centuries.

  11. Islamic State Fighter Got Medical Treatment in Sweden, Then Returned to Fight (breitbart, Mar 3, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/03/03/islamic-state-fighter-given-medical-treatment-in-sweden-then-allowed-to-return-to-fight/

    “Islamic State fighter Khaled Shahadeh is said to have not only returned to Sweden from the Middle East for medical treatment, but was able to return to the battlefield afterwards.
    The 28-year-old is one regarded as a particular threat to Sweden should he return to the Scandinavian country yet again, Expressen reports.

    Shahadeh went to fight for the Islamic State in Syria, but the ISIS fighter returned to Sweden after being injured in the shoulder during a battle, according to his father.

    After coming back to Sweden, Shahadeh’s injury was treated by Swedish medical professionals — after which he once again departed the country and headed back to Islamic State controlled territory to fight for the terror group.

    Thomas Lindén, Chairman of the Medical Association’s Ethics and Responsibility Council, defended the medical treatment given to the Islamic State radical, saying: “We provide care to the poor and the rich, we provide care to murderers who are in prison.”

    “If it is so that you should punish people then other bodies in society may do so. Health care should not be part of the punishment apparatus,” he claimed…”

  12. German Police: North African Migrants More Prone to Criminality (breitbart, Mar 3, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/03/03/german-police-north-african-migrants-more-prone-to-criminality/

    “The president of the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) has admitted that North African migrants are more prone to criminality and has called for police to focus their attention to prevent them from forming organised mafias.

    BKA president Holger Münch said that police needed to tackle issues of North African migrant crime before criminal structures can emerge as has been the case with Arab clan mafia groups, Die Welt reports.

    Earlier this week Münch noted at the European Police Congress in Berlin that organized criminal clans could only be stopped with enormous effort on the part of the police.

    “Problems that have arisen in 25 to 30 years, which we will not solve in 25 to 30 days,” he said, and added that several regions of the country — Bremen, Berlin, Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia — had particular problems with organised criminal groups.”

    BKA reports from 2017 revealed that migrants were responsible for at least nine percent of serious crimes.

    Their overrepresentation in violent crimes and sexual offences was even starker, with the number rising to over ten percent and migrants from Libya, Tunisia, Morrocco, and Algeria being particularly prevalent among the suspects.

    Organised migrant gangs, such as the notorious Arab clans operating in cities like Berlin, have been a major problem for police.

    In 2017 it was claimed that the Arab clans were even recruiting newly arrived asylum seekers to aid their criminal enterprises, with members visiting asylum homes in the German capital.

    “The young refugees have no-one here to stop them,” Benjamin Jendro of the Berlin Police Union said.

    “They see peers who are driving an Audi Q8 and hear how easy it is to get there, and they want that too. You cannot blame them,” he added.

    Arab clans in Berlin have also been accused of using threats and spreading sexual allegations against police in order to either intimidate or take revenge on officers trying to bring them to justice.

    • Welcome to reality, now let us hope that enough German Politicians read about this and realize that it is fact instead of the fantasy they have been living in.

  13. Gang of Migrants Allegedly Raped Underage Italian Girls, Lured Them with Drugs (breitbart, Mar 3, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/03/03/gang-of-migrants-allegedly-raped-underage-italian-girls-lured-them-with-drugs/

    “A gang of five migrants have been arrested after claims that they lured four underage Italian girls with drugs, imprisoned them, and took turns sexually abusing one of them.

    The alleged migrant rape gang consisted of three Albanians and two Moroccans aged between 17 and 20-years-old. They are accused of locking up four Italian girls in an apartment after inviting them over with the promise of alcohol and drugs, Il Giornale reports.

    Investigators say the young migrants, who came from “non-disadvantaged, integrated and working families”, lured the underage girls in July of last year after meeting them through school.

    After arriving in the apartment, the migrants locked the girls in the apartment so they would not be able to escape. After the girls begged to be released the migrants threatened them saying they would throw them out of the window.

    One of the girls was then separated from the others and stripped off her clothes as the five migrants sexually abused her and filmed the ordeal on their mobile phones.

    The case comes after two other high profile cases involving migrants drugging and sexually abusing Italian girls over the last year.

    The first, which occurred in February of 2018, saw 18-year-old Pamela Mastropietro lured away from a drug addiction recovery centre by a Nigerian drug dealer.

    Ms Mastropioetro was later killed and her body dismembered and put into suitcases that were left on the side of the road in the Italian commune of Pollenza.

    Several months later, another young Italian girl, Desirée Mariottini, was found dead in an abandoned building site known to be connected to the city’s drug scene in Rome.

    Witnesses say the 16-year-old was drugged and sexually abused by several migrant men before she died of an overdose which prosecutors allege was caused on purpose by her attackers.”

  14. Fierce fighting as US-backed Syrian forces advance on IS (abcnews, Mar 3, 2019)
    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/fierce-fighting-us-backed-syrian-forces-advance-61439230

    “Columns of black smoke billowed Sunday from the last small piece of territory held by Islamic State militants as U.S. backed fighters pounded the area with artillery fire and occasional airstrikes shook the ground.

    Commanders of the Kurdish-led fighters known as the Syrian Democratic Forces said fierce clashes were taking place as they advance toward the last speck of land controlled by the Islamic State group.

    Fires still smoldered from the area and ammunition exploded time and again, a day after an airstrike hit a building, setting off a huge blast.

    “It must be a main weapons depot,” said Sefqan, a commander using only his nom de guerre.

    The U.S.-backed forces resumed an offensive to recapture the tiny area in the village of Baghouz in eastern Syria on Friday night, after a two-week pause to allow for the evacuation of civilians from the area. Once the sliver of land is taken, it would mark the end of a devastating four-year campaign to end IS’ hold on territory in Syria and Iraq and its self-proclaimed Islamic caliphate that once straddled vast territory across both countries.

    A few hundred IS militants, many of them believed to be foreign fighters, remain holed up inside Baghouz, with an unknown number of civilians.

    Machineguns could be heard echoing across the territory. Associated Press journalists in Baghouz saw black smoke from an apparent strike on a barrel of fuel. Gunfire followed another strike on the edge of the camp. Burned vehicles could be seen, abandoned in farmland beyond the village. Through binoculars, IS fighters could be seen walking around.

    Overnight, machine gun tracers could be seen in the skies over Baghouz and aircraft circled overhead.

    “The night for us and the morning for them,” said Abu Ghadab, another commander of the SDF. The militants usually attack during the day as they don’t have night vision goggles while the SDF advances at night, he explained.

    The U.S.-backed fighters say IS militants are mostly hiding underground, in tunnels.”

  15. Shamima Begum: ‘We should live in Holland’ says IS husband

    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-47431249

    The Dutch husband of Shamima Begum, who joined the Islamic State group in Syria in 2015 aged 15, has said he wants her to return to the Netherlands with him.

    Yago Riedijk and Ms Begum married days after she arrived inside IS territory.

    Speaking to the BBC, he admitted fighting for the group but says he now wants to return home with his wife and their newborn son.

    Mr Riedijk, 27, is being held in a Kurdish detention centre in north-eastern Syria.

    He faces a six-year jail term for joining a terror organisation if he returns to the Netherlands.

  17. Egypt Al-Azhar imam warns against polygamy an ‘injustice’ for women (BBC, Mar 3, 2019)
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-47432243

    “The grand imam of Egypt’s top Islamic institution, Al-Azhar, has said polygamy can be an “injustice for women and children”.

    Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, Sunni Islam’s highest authority, said the way it is often practiced comes from “a lack of understanding of the Koran”.

    He made the comment on his weekly television programme and on Twitter.

    After sparking debate, Al-Azhar clarified that the cleric was not calling for a ban on polygamy.

    He reiterated that monogamy was the rule and polygamy the exception.

    “Those who say that marriage must be polygamous are all wrong,” he said. The Koran, he added, states that for a Muslim man to have multiple wives, he “must obey conditions of fairness – and if there is not fairness it is forbidden to have multiple wives”.

    Sheikh al-Tayeb also advocated a broader revamp of the way women’s issues are addressed.

    “Women represent half of society. If we don’t care for them it’s like walking on one foot only,” he said on Twitter.

    Egypt’s National Council for Women responded positively to his comments.

    “The Muslim religion honours women- it brought justice and numerous rights which didn’t exist before,” said Maya Morsi, the council’s president.”

There seems to be an arab extremist cell that is terrorising the Kurds for not being, among other thins, so observant muslims. Threats are being thrown at the unveiled women as well. Some of the arab thugs are said to be part of the group that last year nearly killed some Kurds in MORIA, Lesvos, for not fasting during Ramadan. But the best is the reaction of the govt. All people reading this would think that the govt promptly proceeded to repatriate these scum. But no!!! They asked the to leave the resorts premises to be processed to some other structure, or go to some of the apartments in major greek cities the UNCHR rents and gives to these people! Otherwise the govt threatened they would stop providing these thugs the monthly handout they get!!! Greece is doomed!

    America’s Second Civil War Has Already Begun
    By TUW Media – Source: American Thinker, By William L. Gensert , March 1, 2019

    In an excellent article by Jeff Lukens here on American Thinker, he asks the question, “Is a second civil war coming?” In reply, I say that America’s second civil war has already begun. Its opening shots were fired by Barack Obama when he stated, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

    Most of this country is center-right and never considered America a place that needed transformation. Most people can think of things they would change but few believe the nation needs to be torn down and rebuilt. Obama failed but the left soldiers on in its quest for a new America remade in their own image.

    When Obama went on his world apology tour, he wasn’t apologizing for America, he was apologizing for Americans. This is the essence of this second civil war. Leftists are demi-gods who believe they are America and that anyone who does not believe in them cannot lay legitimate claim to this country as their own.

    Yes, this war has begun. The opening skirmish was the Obama presidency itself, which history will see as a failure, despite what the media want us to believe in the here and now. Sure, he passed ObamaCare and Dodd-Frank, overregulated, and ruled by executive diktat to great media acclaim. Yet, ObamaCare and Dodd-Frank have been whittled away by legislation and judicial rulings, while Trump has prioritized deregulation and reversed many of Obama’s illegal executive orders.

    The war’s second battle was the 2016 presidential election when Hillary Clinton, Obama’s chosen successor, lost to a television personality whom very few took seriously as a candidate. Trump won despite the Obama administration conspiring with the Clinton campaign to steal the election and has remained as president even as that conspiracy fundamentally transformed into a failed coup attempt to depose him.

    Trump’s presidency has been the third battle and with his string of successes, the battle is being won. This, despite near-universal acrimony and condemnation among the media, the Democrats, and the left.

    But, “what difference, at this point, does it make?” because these victories are pyrrhic. As the eminent Michael Walsh said of the left, “they never stop, they never sleep, they never quit.” Democrats are chipping away at this nation with their policies. This is a war of attrition and we Americans are being attrited.

    For example, their “open borders” policy is effectively importing a new electorate — one guaranteed to vote for them. The left agrees with Obama, there is nothing wrong with America, it’s those damn Americans, so they are going to drown the conservative vote with new Democrats. It’s the same with their policy of “everything should be free.” Why vote for someone who promises equal opportunity when someone else promises a better outcome?

    Nuclear winter became global warming became climate change became “we want total control over everything.” The reason why Democrat candidates for the presidency so quickly signed on to my congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal is its promise of comprehensive control over every aspect of our lives. Eliminating planes, trains, and automobiles will keep us close to our homes and jobs or for those “unwilling to work” in their basement enjoying their “universal basic income.” Dependent people without mobility are easier to control.

    The 2020 election looms as the next battle and it will be hard fought because Democrats have myriad policies that may sound great but are really about control. They have always been masters of micturating down our leg and telling us it is raining.

    Yet, they don’t need to trick us into acquiescence, because even should Trump win, without a complete reversal by the Democratic Party, a renewed free and fair media, and a return to the principles upon which this nation was founded, this war will continue, and it is only a matter of time before the left again wins the Presidency, or the House, or the Senate — or all three.

    When that happens, this civil war will become hot because the Democrats are going to come for our guns. An armed citizenry is a free citizenry, and they can’t have that.

    The third most populated nation with 330,000,000 people, America has an estimated 350 million guns in circulation; any effort to seize them will call for the total mobilization of our armed forces, city and state police, and the National Guard.

    People are not going to turn in their guns and politicians who think they will do so are being naïve. Fighting will surely ensue as the forces of the regime go door to door to try to take them.

    Many of those empowered to confiscate weapons won’t obey orders. Defections will be common and there will be fighting in the streets, limited at first, but it will soon break out into open rebellion. The regime will become increasingly strident and many states will refuse to comply. Using Democratic-run “sanctuary cities” as an example of state nullification of federal law, talk of secession will become rife.

    The ruling leftists will, of course, be surprised, and orders will be given to the remaining loyalist forces to put down the rebellion. In the end, the death toll will far exceed the 620,000 people who died in our first civil war.

    To people who say it can’t happen here, I say history is replete with examples of places that no longer exist where people believed “it can’t happen here.”
    It can’t happen here? Open your eyes, it has already begun.

      How tragic that Arkadiusz Protasiuk couldn’t have been his pilot for that whirlwind tour. Fog warnings be damned.

  24. Report: Ocasio-Cortez Threatens Democrats, If You Vote With Republicans You’ll Be Put On A List

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who recently declared, “I’m the boss!” is taking her power-hungry dreams to stomp on some of her fellow Democrats, reportedly informing them on Thursday that if they vote with Republicans she will “put them on a list” for a primary challenge.

    According to The Washington Post, the Democrats conducted a closed-door session during which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned over 20 supposed moderate members of her party, “We are either a team or we’re not, and we have to make that decision.” The Post then said Ocasio-Cortez, “the unquestioned media superstar of the freshman class, uppe

    Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has portrayed herself as being an outsider whose goal is to clean up politics in Washington, D.C., yet her actions suggest otherwise.

    Under the new “living wage” rules she set for her staff, “Ocasio-Cortez’s decision to cap her office salaries at $80,000 will let her chief of staff and senior employees avoid public transparency laws that would require them to reveal outside income, gifts, and stock trading activity,” the Washington Examiner reported.

  26. Labour Deputy Chief Ripped to Pieces for Call to Ban Tommy Robinson From YouTube (sputniknews, Mar 3, 2019)
    https://sputniknews.com/europe/201903031072918900-labour-deputy-chief-ban-robinson-youtube/

    “In the latest video on his YouTube channel, the British right-wing campaigner and adviser to UKIP blasted the media for trying to silence anyone who opposes their “globalist” agenda, urging users to repost the clip before his account is terminated.

    Tom Watson, second-in-command at the Labour Party, has called on YouTube to boot right-winger Tommy Robinson, aka Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, from their platform, shortly after the EDL founder and UKIP adviser was permanently banned from Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

    In a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Watson asserted — referring to the first bans — that it is “quite clear from the comments threads on stories documenting this decision, Yaxley-Lennon supporters are transferring over their virulent hate to YouTube”. He then went on to distinctly formulate his request:

    “I am now writing to implore you as a matter of utmost urgency to follow the lead that has been, belatedly, set by Facebook, and remove forthwith all ‘Tommy Robinson’ and related pages from your YouTube platform”, Watson said, adding Robinson’s “virus” could pass on to “countless” other users and urging the media platform not to ignore “their social responsibilities”.

    Earlier, on Wednesday, Damian Collins chairman of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, also called for Robinson to be shut down online:

    “Far-right groups are exploiting social media to spread their messages of hate, and the YouTube ‘next up’ feature helps them by directing viewers to even more of this content once, as soon as, they start to engage with it”, Collins was quoted by British media as saying.

    Responding to the move, Robinson contended in his latest YouTube video that “the corrupt media and establishment” were attempting to “silence any opposition to their globalist plans”.

    “I’ve breached no laws of Facebook, everyone is going to know that I’ve breached no rules, what I’ve done is shown people the truth and that is what they are removing, the truth. People will still find me”, Robinson said, with numbers of his online subscribers joining in the choir of support.

    To trace down YouTubers that illegally promote messages of hate for this or that social group, the platform uses a so-called “strikes” system, giving offending users a warning. It then removes the specific video, while a three-strike mark leads to the channel being terminated altogether if regulations are not properly met.

    Robinson’s supporters flooded the comment section below the news links on Twitter, referring to “the rotten thing that Tom Watson is doing here”:

    One even suggested Watson “has some dodgy skeletons in his cupboard” if he’s attacking the activist like this:

    However, the idea of “freedom of speech” being mercilessly attacked is apparently the most recurrent one in the comments threads:

    Some even suggested that Watson is a “coward”, as he is lashing out at “a working class guy and “not the most eloquent chap in the world”, who, incidentally, has no real issues with Islam:

    Another invited “total liar” Watson to publicly voice at least “one example of his [Robinson’s] hate speech”:”

    • Labour deputy Labour leader Tom Watson calls on YouTube to ban Tommy Robinson

      After Facebook banned the far-right activist, Tom Watson has warned that supporters are flooding over to his YouTube channel

      Labour’s Tom Watson has urged YouTube to ban Tommy Robinson to avoid users being “groomed” by the controversial activist.

      The call comes after Facebook and Instagram permanently banned the English Defense League founder, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, for violating rules on anti-Muslim hate speech.

      Mr Yaxley-Lennon was also permanently banned from Twitter in March 2018, meaning the Google-owned video website is one of the last major social media platforms he is permitted to use.

      ‘Shut down the virus’

      In a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Mr Watson warned that Mr Yaxley-Lennon’s supporters “are transferring over their virulent hate to YouTube” following his ejection from Facebook.”

      He added: “I would ask that you immediately close down all of Yaxley-Lennon’s sites on YouTube before the virus of his views grooms countless more followers via your platform.”

      Mr Yaxley-Lennon bills himself as a “journalist, activist and public figure fighting for the forgotten people of the UK” on the Tommy Robinson YouTube channel.

      More than 330,000 people are subscribed to the YouTube channel, with more than 30,000 people subscribing since his official Facebook page was banned on 26 February.

      The YouTube channel’s uploads regularly receive hundreds of thousands of views, and four videos uploaded by Mr Yaxley-Lennon in the past year have upwards of a million views.

      YouTube suspended all advertising on Tommy Robinson videos in January, saying in a statement that the content “breaches our advertising policies.” ‘Hate speech’ However, Mr Watson says that the videos are still being used as a revenue stream for Mr Yaxley-Lennon, who encourages supporters “to make donations to keep his movement alive.”

      The MP continued: “YouTube’s policy on hate speech prohibits content which promotes violence or hatred against individuals or groups based on attributes including religion, race, immigration status or nationality. “Many of his videos are clearly in breach of this policy.”

      In the letter to Mr Pichai, the Labour politician also warned that UK legislators are considering “introducing legal regulatory powers to deal with those who seek to use the garb of freedom of speech to, instead, preach violent hate with the aim of damaging and undermining our society.”

      Mr Watson added: “The public interest is demanding an end to the laissez-faire approach to regulation not just in the UK but globally.

      “However that should not mean that the social media firms avoid their responsibilities in the meantime to take action where it is clearly and vigorously required.”

      Mr Yaxley-Lennon has blamed the “corrupt media and the establishment” for his Facebook ban, claiming that the move was part of a push “to silence any opposition to their globalist plans.”

      The former EDL activist was hired as a political adviser to UKIP leader Gerard Batten in November 2018, leading to an exodus from the party.

  27. Calais CHAOS: UK-bound ferries held after ‘100 migrants’ storm ship heading for Dover (express, Mar 3, 2019)
    https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1095066/calais-to-dover-ferry-migrant-crisis-DFDS-P-and-O

    “BRITISH holidaymakers were stranded in the Channel after up to 100 migrants trying to reach the UK broke through security barriers and climbed onto a ferry at the port of Calais and forced its temporary closure.

    Witnesses said 100 migrants had broken through the perimeter of the port of Calais last night, at about 8.30pm. Passengers stuck on ships were told, preventing boats coming from Dover to dock. Two of the asylum-seekers trying to get to Britain fell into the sea, prompting a rescue. The Calais port remained closed for a little more than an hour, while concerned Britons were either trying to get on a UK-bound ship or attempting to reach France.

    Among the ferries being delayed, there were the MS European Seaway and the Spirit of France, both P&O ferries, and the MS Côtes des Dunes, a ferry operated by DFDS Seaways.

    The situation was brought under control just before 10pm.

    But on Sunday morning four more immigrants were found hiding on the upper deck of the DFDS Seaways-owned MS Côtes des Dunes, French newspaper Nord Littoral wrote.

    A spokesman for the Port of Dover confirmed that Calais was “dealing with a situation” at the port and that some vessels had been unable able to dock in France.

    Social media user Sotiri Dimpinoudis, writing on Twitter just after the immigrants stormed the port, wrote: “The docks of the seashore in Calais in France is on lockdown because hundreds of Illegal migrants of the ‘Calais jungle’ stormed and breached through the fences and barriers, trying to sneak into a ship heading towards the UK.”

    Another Twitter user, Matt Perry, wrote: “Currently sat on a P&O ferry outside Calais as captain says its closed due to 100 immigrants storming the port.”

    And another one, with the nickname Driver/horsebox, wrote: “Calais currently closed due to over 100 immigrants storming the port.

    “Announcement from the captain of the boat that we were very lucky to get on.

    “Currently bobbing up and down waiting for it to reopen.”

    Jean-Philippe Vennin, of the Port of Calais, said police officers arrested 46 people.

    He added: “Two of the migrants fell into the water and were quickly recovered by the firefighters.”

    A spokesman for the Home Office confirmed that an “incident at the Port of Calais” on Saturday night caused the port to be “temporarily closed”.

    They added: “Traffic was being held at the juxtaposed controls while French police and port authorities resolve the situation.””

  28. Spain: Over 4,000 Illegal Migrants Landed by Sea in January, 930 in February (breitbart, Mar 3, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/03/03/spain-over-4000-illegal-migrants-landed-by-sea-in-january-930-in-february/

    ” Spain’s government says that unauthorized immigration by sea has dropped in the last month, falling to 930 people arriving in February compared to over 4,000 in January.
    Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska says while on a visit on Saturday to Spain’s northern African enclave of Melilla that “the upward trend of recent months has been broken.”

    Spain became the leading entry point into Europe for illegal migrants last year, when it received over 57,000 people by sea compared to 21,000 in 2017.

    Opposition parties have criticized the Socialist-led government for being soft on illegal migration. After taking a more welcoming position on migrants compared to other European Union nations like Italy, Spain has recently tried to reduce arrivals.

    The issue is expected to be on the agenda in April’s general elections.”

  29. On brink of Syria defeat, Islamic State unleashes car bombs (reuters, Mar 3, 2019)
    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-islamic-state/on-brink-of-syria-defeat-islamic-state-unleashes-car-bombs-idUSKCN1QK066

    “Islamic State launched car bombs and suicide attackers against the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) assaulting Baghouz, in a last-ditch effort to stave off defeat in its final patch of territory, fighters from the U.S.-backed force said on Sunday.

    Capturing the village in eastern Syria will be a milestone in international efforts to roll back the jihadists, whose self-styled “caliphate” covered roughly one third of Syria and Iraq at its height in 2014.

    But it is universally accepted that the group, which has been in territorial retreat since then and suffered its major defeats in 2017, will remain a security threat as an insurgent force with sleeper cells and some desolate pockets of territory.

    The SDF had said it expected a “decisive battle” on Sunday after advancing gradually for 18 hours to avoid land mines sown by Islamic State (IS), whose fighters are also using underground tunnels to stage ambushes and then disappear.

    By midday, however, there was no sign of the battle being over, and a spokesman for the U.S.-led international coalition supporting the SDF said the pace of the advance had ebbed.

    “ISIS fighters have been using suicide vests and car bombs to slow down the SDF offensive and hide from Coalition strikes in the area of Baghuz,” Col. Sean Ryan told Reuters.

    “They still hold civilians and are lacing the tunnels with IEDs as well,” he said, referring to improvised explosive devices.

    The SDF has previously estimated several hundred IS insurgents to be inside Baghouz, mostly foreigners, and the coalition has described them as the “most hardened” militants. But Ryan said their hiding underground made it difficult to determine current numbers…”

    “Is this the mosque they’ve been telling us about for so many years?” Naim Elghandour told Thema 104.6 radio on Saturday.

    He said that the mosque, which will have no minarets or loudspeakers, will fit just 300 men and 50 women. Athens, he claimed, has a Muslim population of around 500,000.

    ISIS may be knocked out of Syria, but the group is alive in the U.S., both in distributing its poisonous ideology and translating that into actual plots. Here are three ISIS supporters that law enforcement caught — two were in the process of planning attacks. Two were sentenced to almost 16 years in prison each and will have years of supervised release afterwards. The third, surprising, got only seven years.

    A 22-year old from New Jersey was sentenced to 16 years in prison for planning a bombing attack in New York City for ISIS.

    Gregory Lepsky from Point Pleasant pleaded guilty to attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization. He was sentenced March 1 in a federal court in Trenton. When released, he will be subject to lifetime supervision.

    Lepsky admitted he planned to detonate a bomb in a pressure cooker (which he had already purchased) and accessed bomb-making directions online through jihadi sites.

    When arrested in 2017, Lepsky was a recent convert to Islam. He was originally investigated by authorities after he tried to stab his family’s dog to death. Both Lepsky – who now goes by the name of Allah Abdel Rochman –and the dog were wounded. While paramedics treated him, he told them he was planning to kill his mother.

    While in a hospital, Lepsky ranted during questioning that he had pledged his allegiance to Allah and intended to fight for the Islamic State. He also said he planned to kill the family dog (since it as considered it “dirty” according to Islam), kill his mother and detonate a pressure-cooker bomb in a crowded area of New York City.

    A digital trail led police to him and his connection to ISIS.

  36. Report: “11 Christians Killed Every Day for Their Faith”

    by Raymond Ibrahim
    March 3, 2019 at 5:00 am

    https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/13813/christians-persecuted-killed

    Last year, Christians were persecuted more than ever before in the modern era — and this year is expected to be worse: “4,136 Christians were killed for faith-related reasons,” according to Open Doors USA in its recently published World Watch List 2019 (WWL) of the top 50 nations where Christians are persecuted. “On average, that’s 11 Christians killed every day for their faith.” Additionally, “2,625 Christians were detained without trial, arrested, sentenced and imprisoned” in 2018, and “1,266 churches or Christian buildings were attacked.”

    Whereas 215 million Christians faced persecution in 2018, 245 million will suffer in 2019, according to Open Doors — a 14% increase, that represents 30 million more people abused for their faith. This means that “1 in 9 Christians experience high levels of persecution worldwide” (note: all quotations in this article are from the WWL 2019).

    One of the most noteworthy trends concerns the “shocking reality of persecution against women.”

    “The oligarchs are shaking in their boots tonight,” Ramirez-Rosa said after winning re-election, according to the Times. “Our continued organizing and movement-building over the last four years is paying dividends. And it appears to be a total transformation of political power at City Hall from the bottom up.”

    Ramirez-Rosa faced a challenge from nonpartisan candidate Amanda Yu Dieterich.

    La Spata was the challenger in his race, taking out incumbent Ald. Proco “Joe” Morena in the 1st Ward.

  41. UK: Corbyn makes it to London mosque after egging attack

    The leader of the UK Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, was reportedly hit by an egg outside the Finsbury Park Mosque in London on Sunday, shortly before his arrival at the place of worship.

    Reports from several sources say the egg was thrown by an allegedly ‘pro-brexit’ campaigner during Corbyn’s visit to the mosque.

    The attack came after the Labour leader said he would support a second referendum regarding the UK leaving the EU.

    Corbyn was not hurt and the protester was arrested by local police.

    Upon his arrival, the Labour leader was given a tour of the mosque before making a speech, praising the place of worship’s positive role in the community.

    He recalled the 2017 terrorist attack by Darren Osborne that resulted in the death of one worshipper outside the building, and said the community was strongly united.

    “Whatever people throw at this innocent community, we will not be divided because an attack on any group, an attack on any faith, an attack on any place of worship is an attack on every single one of us,” Corbyn said.

    Corbyn was taking part in the fifth consecutive “Visit My Mosque Day”, which had more than 200 Mosques in England open to visitation, aimed at encouraging people from all religions to learn more about Islam.

  42. BREITBART – Trade Union Barons’ Lobby Wants Tommy Robinson Banned from ‘Public Spaces’

    Britain’s Trades Union Congress (TUC) has called for Tommy Robinson to be banned not only from social media, but from “public spaces” as well.

    “So Tommy Robinson’s been banned from [Facebook] and Instagram,” gloated the lobby group via Twitter — which had itself banned Robinson some months ago already.

    “About time. Now we need to ban him from public spaces too,” they added.

    The move to deplatform Robinson by the leading social media websites came on the heels of the outspoken citizen journalist and street activist releasing his Panodrama documentary on the BBC, which purported to show how its flagship Panorama investigative journalism programme had been “creating [and] editing news” in order to serve a partisan agenda.

    The TUC, whose leading member organisations serve as major donors to Britain’s left-wing Labour Party, and act as a key power base for its hard-left socialist leader Jeremy Corby, added that “Unions have always come out against fascism and racism wherever it arises” in an attempt to justify its call to deplatform the EDL founder.

    However, the implications of a theoretical ban from “public spaces” — which could see Robinson effectively subjected to a kind of indefinite house arrest if implemented, depending on its execution — made some even on the left uncomfortable.

    “I loathe Robinson. But calling for him to be banned from public spaces is positively despotic,” commented Paul Embery, a trade unionist with the Fire Brigades Union in London and noted Brexit campaigner.

    “Get a grip of yourselves, comrades.”

    Embery’s disagreement with the trajectory of the TUC in its role as an umbrella organisation for British trade unions is not limited to its draconian attitude to controversial figures like Robinson — which is not, curiously, extended to Islamist hate preachers or former Islamic State fighters, who have escaped similar calls to action from the lobby group.

    The firefighter has also criticised the TUC’s dogged devotion to the European Union under incumbent General-Secretary Frances O’Grady, who was a leading figure in the campaign to Remain in the European Union in 2016 and is now agitating for a second referendum.

    “[The TUC’s] stance over Brexit is… indicative of the movement’s increasing estrangement from the working class, particularly in those former industrial heartlands where the nostrums of the metropolitan liberal elite have little traction, and something resembling a traditional working-class culture still endures,” Embery observed earlier in February 2019.

    “Tragically, the trade union movement is largely absent from these communities and thus commands no loyalty among their inhabitants. Worse, large parts of the movement’s leadership see these people as a different breed: a mob to be kept in check, their rougher edges smoothed, their ‘reactionary’ working-class views tempered,” he added ruefully.

  43. Journalist Groups Alarmed By Justice Thomas’s Call To Reconsider Free Press Ruling

    Professional journalism groups reacted with alarm after Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas released an opinion Tuesday urging the high court to reconsider a landmark freedom of the press decision called New York Times v. Sullivan.

    The Sullivan ruling generally shields reporters and news platforms from libel or defamation lawsuits provided they were acting in good faith. Though journalists believe that protection is essential, Justice Thomas said the high court was wrong to usurp the role of states in regulating libel.

    “[Sullivan] and the Court’s decisions extending it were policy-driven decisions masquerading as constitutional law,” Thomas’s opinion reads.

    “We should not continue to reflexively apply this policy-driven approach to the Constitution,” Thomas added. “Instead, we should carefully examine the original meaning of the First and Fourteenth Amendments.”
