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 must use it while we can.

  1. The bedrock of civilization: separation of public and private life.
    Carl Benjamin

    — Hat tip: PC

    NR: From yesterday, but it absolutely deserves a rerun.

    This commingling of private life and public persona is far more insidious than most might think. Massive public CCTV surveillance plus facial recognition software, ALPRs (Automated License Plate Readers), and home-based monitors like Alexa, literally, have created a ghetto of glass houses where none darn’t pitch a pebble for fear of shattering some snowflake’s life.

    Rapidly, there is little if any distinction drawn between personal thoughts (i.e., crimethink) or talk between friends and statements intended for or made to the public. This loss of intimacy epitomizes how the Left “outs” (i.e., extroverts) so much of what once was deeply private behavior. It is a contrary exhibitionism that climaxes (literally) in spectacular rejections of Western Enlightenment values, the Scientific Method, and even the very essence of one’s own biological self, gender.

    What passes for modern “thought” (i.e., subjective Potemkin plantations) turns out to be a triumph of the Frankfurt School. Their ludicrous, harping “critical analysis” has been turned inward in an orgy of cognitive dissonance and self-loathing which often finds surcease in the prototypical suicide of sex-change.

    As Benjamin duly notes, this being constantly in the spotlight—or, conversely, hogging it—only reinforces every negative aspect of identity politics. Note how everybody and their mother’s son simply will not back away from gorging on the rotting carcass of his three year-old tweet, for fuck’s sake.

    The Left continues to splinter itself and anything within blast range of the shrapnel from more implosions than Trinity ever saw. This is the slowly emerging legacy of PCMC dieversity. A fragmented and fractured culture whose sole point of agreement is that it’s: “Everyone for themselves”.

      When you see their inverted Trinity, “the world is not worthy of the one who has found the corpse.”

    • Identity Politics erases that distinction between public and private life.

      4:29 – …The problem with Identity Politics, and this really is, it is such an important thing, if people really understand, is that it politicizes every single member of a group… because the liberal state that we are all living in, the great gift it gave to the world is the separation between the public and private life. And that’s a very important thing. So you can be a private person, who doesn’t get involved in politics, if you want. You can go and vote your representative, so you can lead a peaceful and prosperous and calm and law abiding life. But when you politicize every member of a group, along an arbitrary characteristic for example of the Jewish, the Muslim, the White, the Black, whatever it is, you can’t get away from this. There is never a time that your not these things. Your always these things, all of the time. So that every space you go into is a political space, erasing that distinction between the public and the private….” CB

  3. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-05-02/sydney-man-guilty-of-terror-attack-after-stabbing-neighbour/11073416
    A jury has found Sydney man Ihsas Khan guilty of committing a terrorist act for stabbing his neighbour — an act he said was like “eating a chocolate bar”.
    Khan was charged after attacking Wayne Greenhalgh in a driveway in the Sydney suburb of Minto on September 10, 2016.
    Mr Greenhalgh sustained life-threatening injuries, but survived after running to a nearby hair dressing salon.
    Khan showed no emotion when the verdict was read out in the Parramatta Supreme Court on Thursday, and simply sat back down after the judge finished his remarks.
    He is due to be sentenced on May 23.
    The guilty verdict comes from the sixth jury to hear the case, following a series of mistrials.
    During one of his trials, the court heard Khan wanted to be “a martyr” and egged on police to shoot him after stabbing Mr Greenhalgh.
    He was tasered, taken into custody and later charged with committing a terrorist act with the intent to influence the Australian Government.
    Khan pleaded not guilty, because of mental illness.
    A jury agreed with the prosecution’s argument that Khan had been planning to attack a civilian at random on, or around, September 11 to coincide with the anniversary of the Al Qaeda attacks on the United States.
    Khan picked out his neighbour, Mr Greenhalgh, because he believed he was wearing a shirt with some sort of American motif on it.
    When Mr Khan saw the blood he was heard to say: “What a beautiful sight this is.”
    Locked out of the hairdressers, the court heard earlier in the trial that Khan stabbed at the glass door with the knife saying: “They killed our people, he should be killed too”, “Allah Akbar” and “they tried to kill my brothers and sisters in Iraq”.
    After charging Khan, NSW Police said they knew Khan had “strong extremist beliefs inspired by ISIS”.
    During an interview with a detective after being taken into custody, Mr Khan said he felt nothing about stabbing Mr Greenhalgh.
    “How do you feel about eating a Picnic bar? You don’t really think about it,” he said.
    The detective asked him whether he regretted what he did.
    “No, not at all,” Mr Khan replied.
    “This person you stabbed today, if he died how would that make you feel?” the detective asked.
    “Nothing,” he replied.

  5. Academics Decry Racism Witch-Hunt Against Sacked Cambridge Scholar (sputniknews, May 2, 2019)
    https://sputniknews.com/world/201905021074634976-scholar-witch-hunt-racism-row-scholarship/

    “Noah Carl was at the centre of protests earlier this year after being named the Toby Jackman Newton Trust junior research fellow at Cambridge University’s St. Edmund’s College. The appointment sparked complaints that his writings helped “legitimise racist stereotypes”, with more than 1,000 people signing an open letter attacking his publications.

    Academics have locked ranks to stand up for a controversial scholar sacked by Cambridge University’s St. Edmund’s College, as they lambasted the university for bowing to what they branded a witch-hunt.

    ?Noah Carl, who was accused of conducting racist research, had his scholarship rescinded by St. Edmund’s College after an inquiry into complaints about the social scientist had determined his work was “problematic”.

    The College subsequently apologised for any offence caused.

    The academics are accusing Cambridge of failing to defend freedom of speech or stand up to “mob rule”.

    ?Matthew Goodwin, the author of National Populism and a politics professor at Kent University, tweeted: “Academic freedom is fine so long as you do not work on anything ‘problematic’.”

    Eric Kaufmann, a politics professor at Birkbeck, University of London, described the decision as a “victory for the left-modernist inquisition based on guilt-by-association”.

    Nathan Coombs, a lecturer in economic sociology at Edinburgh University, called it “outrageously irresponsible behaviour”, tweeting: “It’s really depressing to see so many colleagues pile in to a baseless witch-hunt against an early career scholar.”

    Noah Carl’s appointment earlier this year as Toby Jackman Newton Trust junior research fellow had prompted a torrent of complaints from students and staff, who claimed his writings on race helped “legitimise racist stereotypes”. Over 1,000 people signed an open letter, leading the college to launch an investigation.

    A special panel upheld the complaints, claiming Carl “had put a body of work into the public domain that did not comply with established criteria for research ethics and integrity”, adding Carl Noah had collaborated with individuals known to hold extremist views.

    Carl Noah was previously a research fellow at Nuffield College, Oxford, and attended the London Conference on Intelligence, where “race intelligence” and eugenics were discussed.”

    “The exchange of fire came after a lull in hostilities which lasted over a week. Both sides targeted each other’s security posts in the Shahpur and Kerni sectors. There was no immediate report of any loss of life on either side of the Line of Control (LoC), the de-facto border between India and Pakistan.

    New Delhi (Sputnik): Days after trading barbs and threats of retaliation, India and Pakistan on Thursday exchanged heavy firing and shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) in the vicinity of Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district.

    “The firing started at 10:00 hrs by Pakistan Army. The Indian army is retaliating effectively,” an Indian official said on Thursday.

    The firing was started by the Pakistan Army in Qasba Kirni sector of Poonch and it has since spread to other areas, according to Indian army official.

  7. Attack on AfD party info desk with metal bullets in Germersheim, Germany: “Islam will be stronger than you”+++
    On Tuesday around 12:30 pm, two AfD party members were first insulted at an information stand of the party at Nardini square in Germersheim and a short time later attacks with metal bullets possibly took place from a neighbouring building which, thank God, the two men missed.According to information from the internet portal Pfalz Express.de, a cyclist stopped at the information stand and said to the two AfD campaigners, Michael Faber and Hans Gernett: “You are against the construction of mosques” – and insulted them with the words “You are a dirty pig”.One of the posters on the information stand was to protest against the planned construction of mosques in the city. The man is said to have called “Allahu akbar” and “Islam will become stronger than you” and then left.Shortly thereafter, a projectile – possibly from a house across the street – flew towards the AfD information desk, but missed the two men. A short time later, a second bullet struck a wall in the building behind the information stand with a loud bang. It was a massive metal object about five centimetres high and three centimetres in diameter.The incident was reported to the police. According to Faber, the cyclist was about 30 years old, dressed in dark clothes and a ” Mediterranean type “.

  8. Police Apologize Again for ‘Vilifying’ Arabs, Palestinians in Training Video (breitbart, May 2, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2019/05/02/police-apologize-again-for-vilifying-arabs-palestinians-in-training-video/

    “Anti-terror specialists attached to an Australian state police force have been forced to apologize for a second time after they were found to have offended Palestinians and Arabs in a training video that featured officers in Middle Eastern headwear.

    In the video, two police officers portraying active armed offenders wear keffiyahs, a headdress worn in Palestine and across the Middle East, and pretend to stab commuters at Sydney’s Central Station.

    As Breitbart News reported in 2017, New South Wales Police apologised for their efforts immediately afterwards.

    The backdown came in response to Izzat Abdulhadi, the head of the general delegation of Palestine to Australia, claiming many people had been left “really upset” by the video designed to train frontline police to respond to a so-called “active armed offender” incident.

    Speaking on SBS Arabic24, NSW police’s multicultural media liaison officer Tarek Al-Issawi apologized for any offence caused.

    “There surely was no intention in any way to defame or insult any part of the community, and if some people felt insulted it was unintentional,” he said. “NSW Police, of course apologize, as it apologised to many who called and objected to this and we admitted we are wrong and we apologized for it.”

    Watch the original video below:…

    Now the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal has found the use of headscarves in the video was “not necessary” and could “incite members of the public to hatred” against Palestinian and Arabic people…”

    • Police Apologize Again for ‘Vilifying’ Arabs, Palestinians in Training Video

    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/05/02/austrian-vice-chancellor-we-fight-against-population-exchange/

    “In a recent interview with Austrian media, populist Austrian Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache alluded to the impact of mass migration and demographic changes on the country, saying his party would fight against “population exchange.”

    The Freedom Party (FPÖ) leader spoke on a wide array of topics leading into the European Parliament elections set to take place later this month, and among them was his party’s long-standing anti-mass migration policy, Kronen Zeitung reports.

    “We are continuing our journey of our home country of Austria, the fight against population exchange, as our people expect,” Strache said, alluding to what French writer Renaud Camus has referred to as the “The Great Replacement” — a theory of the replaceability of goods, services, and people themselves for economic and other purposes.

    When pushed by the interviewer about the term, which is often negatively associated with right-wing and populist thinkers by the media, Strache said, “That is a concept of reality. We do not want to become a minority in our own homeland. That is legitimate and honest and deeply democratic. Those who are not left today are automatically defamed as right-wing extremists.”

    “Only where someone tries to enforce his political goals by force, it is right-wing extremism,” he added noting that such behaviours do not fit into a democratic system.”…”

    “German Chancellor Angela Merkel has pledged 46 million euros ($51 million) to help Burkina Faso fight Islamic extremism.

    Merkel, who is on a three-nation tour in West Africa this week, made the announcement late Wednesday. While in the capital of Ouagadougou, she attended a summit with presidents from the countries making up the G5 Sahel — Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and Niger.

    Burkina Faso’s security situation has rapidly deteriorated over the past several years, particularly along the volatile northern border with Mali.

    After her visit to Ouagadougou Merkel plans to visit German soldiers who are stationed in Gao, Mali, as part of the U.N. peacekeeping mission there. She also plans to visit Niger during the trip.”

  11. Iran, Turkey Reject Trump’s Move to Classify Muslim Brotherhood as Terrorist Organization (aawsat, May 2, 2019)
    https://aawsat.com/english/home/article/1704771/iran-turkey-reject-trump%E2%80%99s-move-classify-muslim-brotherhood-terrorist

    “Turkey and Iran on Wednesday criticized the United States over President Donald Trump’s attempt to classify the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.

    Ankara has rejected the US move, which the White House confirmed on Wednesday, saying it would promote “anti-Islamism” in the West and around the world.

    Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, for his part, accused Washington of supporting terrorism in the region, stressing that Tehran opposed the inclusion of the “Muslim Brotherhood” on the US list of “terrorist organizations.”

    “The US is not in position to (..) start naming others as terror organizations and we reject by any attempt by the US in this regard,” Zarif was quoted by Reuters as saying. “The US is supporting the biggest terrorist in the region, that is Israel,” he added.

    White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said that Trump “has consulted with his national security team and leaders in the region who share his concern and this designation is working its way through the internal process.”

    According to Reuters, the inclusion of the Muslim Brotherhood on the US list allows sanctions to be imposed on those who have relations with the group, which is classified as terrorist in a number of Arab countries.

    The US announcement comes three weeks after Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s visit to Washington. According to the New York Times, which revealed information about Trump’s attempt to classify the Muslim Brotherhood, the president’s initiative faces strong objections, especially within the Pentagon.

    Egypt did not officially comment on the US move against the Muslim Brotherhood, but members of the parliamentary foreign relations committee welcomed it.

    The Egyptian authorities have classified the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist entity since December 2013, in the wake of a booby-trapped car explosion against a security directorate in an Egypt province, which killed 16 people.”

    “He made the remarks in a meeting with the commander of the Iraqi Army Aviation (IQAA) in Tehran.

    Islamic Republic of Iran Army Aviation (IRIAA) known as Havaniruz is regarded as the first military might in the region and there is no rival at the Middle East, Heidari said.

    Iran is self-sufficient in various military fields and is able to train pilots while rendering highly standard technical training to Iraqi forces, he said.

    Sharing a very long borderline with Iraq, the Islamic Republic of Iran is to help Iraq jointly eradicate global arrogance in the region for ever, he said.

    The Iraqi commander, for his part highlighted significant capability of the Iranian army and said grounds for expansion of cooperation between the two countries in the field are well prepared and both forces can play their prominent role to help increase security of the region.

    Iran’s military apparatus are highly sophisticated and both sides can help improve security of the region, the Iraqi commander said.”

    https://aawsat.com/english/home/article/1704806/houthis-snatch-200-wheat-loaded-aid-trucks

    “Houthi militias, backed by Iran, have seized more than 200 food aid convoys en route to Sanaa in Ibb governorate. The humanitarian relief is destined for ailing Yemenis in the Houthi-held capital.

    According to government officials, the capture is part of Houthi oppressive strategies for bringing civilians to their knees and solicit total compliance. For Yemenis in Sanaa, this serves a painful blow, especially that the Islamic fasting season, Ramadan, being a few days away.

    “Houthi militias have stopped humanitarian relief trucks loaded with wheat from crossing into Sanaa, adding another human rights violation to the terror group’s record of abuses,” government spokesman Rajih Badi told Asharq Al-Awsat.

    Badi demanded that the United Nations mobilizes swiftly to intervene and hold the militias accountable to the piling human rights crimes they’ve committed.

    It is the international community’s silence that has tacitly made Houthis act under the impression that they will go unpunished, the official stressed.

    “This is yet another crime against humanity by Houthi militias, and is aimed at starving the Yemeni people, exploiting the human suffering of Yemenis as a political trump card,” he explained.

    Speaking on the Houthis maximum-suffering policy, Badi said: “Whoever does not die by Houthi arms is otherwise starved to death.”

    “We hope that the UN will not stand idle on Houthi behavior again…these militias are acting this way because of the UN’s relaxed position on their ongoing crimes,” he remarked.

    In parallel, a senior Yemeni official revealed that Houthis have recently implemented a large-scale reassignment and deployment plan for their fighters based in Hodeidah. The move meant the group deploying some of its forces to the Ad Dali’ Governorate, where they carried out military offensives.

    With their combat capability slashed almost entirely, Houthi militias sought to hire foreign mercenary fighters to expand their battle scope.

    Taking developments into consideration, Houthis are actively working to sabotage an UN-brokered truce deal they signed with the freely-elected government headed by President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi last December.”

    • This is yet another crime against humanity by Houthi militias, and is aimed at starving the Yemeni people, exploiting the human suffering of Yemenis as a political trump card,” he explained.

      Why don’t these yammering little shits shut the fuck up until they’re willing to admit one basic fact:

  15. NYT – AP – Meeting at the Razor Wire: Hungary’s Orban, Italy’s Salvini

    BUDAPEST, Hungary — Hungary’s prime minister hosted hard-line Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini on Thursday and the two main opponents to immigration in Europe toured razor-wire fences at the Hungarian border.

    Hungarian Prime MinisterViktor Orban and Salvini met first at Hungary’s southern border with Serbia, where Orban had the fences built in 2015 to halt the flow of migrants and asylum-seekers coming north through the Balkans.

    Orban is also going to hold talks with Salvini at his new offices in Buda Castle in the Budapest, the capital. Salvini also met with his Hungarian counterpart, Sandor Pinter, and discussed migration to Europe.

    “The positions of the Italian and Hungarian governments are identical on this issue,” Salvini said after meeting with Pinter. “We expect the new Europe to protect its external borders from May 27,” referring to the day after the European Parliamentary elections end.

    Salvini also said Italy agreed with Hungary on the need for a reassessment of all trade and financial agreements with any non-EU countries that fail to cooperate in the repatriation of their citizens whose asylum cases are rejected in Europe.

    In an interview in the Italian newspaper La Stampa, Orban said Salvini was “the most important person in Europe today” on migration, which Orban called “the most important question history has confronted us with.”

    The membership of Orban’s right-wing Fidesz party in the European People’s Party, the biggest group in the European Parliament, was suspended in March over concerns about the rule of law in Hungary.

    Orban has hinted at leaving the People’s Party anyway after the European Parliament elections, another reason for possibly tightening ties with Salvini, head of the right-wing League Party.

    The League is currently part of the right-wing Europe of Nations and Freedom group in the EU parliament. Salvini has been working to create a new euroskeptic alliance that hopes to become the largest faction in that parliament.

    Writing in the London Evening Standard, Andrew Parker confirmed that “of the multiple terrorist threats facing the UK, Islamist terrorism remains the most acute.

    “The abhorrent events in Sri Lanka are a stark and tragic reminder of terrorists’ determination and ongoing ability to perpetuate misery through launching large-scale attacks. There is no doubt that the fall of the so-called caliphate in Syria marked a significant military defeat and a hugely symbolic loss for Islamic State, but we must not be complacent.”

    Sheikh Nasser Ridha of the Sudanese chapter of Hizb-ut-Tahrir said on Al-Jazeera Network (Qatar) on April 21, 2019 that the current issue is to establish an Islamic caliphate and to not hand Sudan over to a secular government.

    He said that it is the Sudan’s duty to pledge allegiance to an imam who will instate shari’a law.

    On April 19, 2019, Dr. Abd Hay Yousif, the Dean of Islamic Studies at the International University of Africa, said on Tayba TV (Sudan) that the religion of Allah is where the line is drawn, and he warned the Military Council to not harm or “transgress upon” Islam or the sharia.

    He called on the Muslims of Sudan to take to the streets to “refute the lie” of the secular people, who he said are trying to impose a “twisted vision” on the people and who he said want alcohol, prostitution, and the cursing of Islam to be permitted.

    On April 20, 2019, Sheikh Muhammad Mustafa Abdel Qader said in a YouTube video that has almost 100,000 views that any political system other than Islam is unacceptable and that Sudan belongs to the Muslims.

    He spat several times at the “filthy” secular “communists,” “infidels,” and “apostates” who he said want to see Sudan engulfed in bloodshed, strife, corruption, and fornication.

  23. Militants Attempted to Shell Hmeymim Base in Syria – MoD (sputniknews, May 2, 2019)
    https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201905021074656583-military-syria-air-base/

    “On 1 May, the Russian military stated that terrorists tried to shell the Hmeymim Airbase using multiple rocket launchers as well as drones twelve times over the past month.

    Terrorists tried to shell the Hmeymim Airbase on Thursday once again, the Russian military stated, stressing that all attacks were repelled.

    In March, the Russian Defence Ministry stated that the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militant group, linked to the Al-Nusra Front*, had been planning an attack on the Russian Hmeymim Airbase in Syria involving attack drones, which was pre-empted by the Russian Air Force. Russian forces thwarted the attack by conducting an air raid on a warehouse where the group was storing the drones intended to be used in the attack.

  24. the gateway pundit – Facebook Announces Latest Purge of ‘Dangerous’ People: Laura Loomer, Milo, Paul Joseph Watson and Infowars BANNED

    Thursday morning, Facebook announced that it had banned several high-profile conservative personalities from their platform for good, including an incoming ban on the Facebook-owned Instagram.

    Milo Yiannopoulos, Laura Loomer, and all accounts related to Alex Jones or Infowars (including Paul Joseph Watson) were the main targets of Facebook’s latest purge and were labeled ‘dangerous’ by the social media giant.

    To draw away from criticism about only banning pro-Trump figures, Facebook also claimed to be taking action against Louis Farrakhan, the Hitler-loving Nation of Islam leader.

    The company alleges that all individuals or accounts engaged in the following behaviors, according to a statement given to pro-censorship CNN reporter Oliver Darcy.

    The Facebook spokesperson said such factors include whether the person or organization has ever called for violence against individuals based on race, ethnicity, or national origin; whether the person has been identified with a hateful ideology; whether they use hate speech or slurs in their about section on their social media profiles; and whether they have had pages or groups removed from Facebook for violating hate speech rules.

    Darcy, who himself has been personally involved in lobbying digital platforms to ban his political enemies, also claims that the company may end up banning accounts that share content related to any of the banned individuals.

    While President Trump and his sons have recently become increasingly vocal against the continued censorship of conservatives online, little action has been taken to curtail the rapid rush towards total 1984-style thought policing carried out by government-partnered tech companies and supported by their insidious allies in the mainstream media.

    Laura Loomer has become more active on her personal website lauraloomer.us as the censorship has eaten away at her digital media presence, Milo is currently promoting his latest book “How To Be Poor”, and Jones can of course be found at Infowars.com

    Trump campaign foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos traveled to London in September of 2016 after he received a strange request via email, for a meeting from Stefan Halper, a Cambridge professor with CIA connections, to discuss foreign policy.

    Halper sent Papadopoulos an email in early September of 2016 offering him $3,000 to travel to London and write a policy paper about Cyprus, Turkey and Israel because Papadopoulos was working in the Israeli energy business and had an extensive amount of knowledge in that field.

  29. UK _ ‘You equate all those of Muslim heritage with grooming gangs and terrorism’ – Judge jails ‘highly racist’ dad who organised Stoke-on-Trent far-right march

    David Shufflebottom, a member of Stoke-on-Trent Infidels, also posted offensive online comments about the city’s taxi drivers

    Racist David Shufflebottom has been locked up after he helped organise an anti-Muslim demonstration in a town centre.

    The 33-year-old was a member of far-right group Stoke-on-Trent Infidels, which arranged the ‘Britain First’ protest in Burslem.

    He was captured on police body-cam footage waving a huge Union Flag and shouting racist and religious abuse – in the presence of children.

    Shufflebottom also posted several offensive posts on Facebook encouraging people to attend an English Defence League march in Worcester.

    He has now been jailed for 15 months at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court, as a senior judge branded him ‘highly racist’.

    ‘The defendant is entrenched as anti-Muslim…’

    Prosecutor Richard McConaghy described Shufflebottom as ‘an orchestrator’ of the Britain First march, which took place in October 2017.

    He said: “The defendant is entrenched as anti-Muslim, involved in Britain First marches and a member of the online group the Stoke-on-Trent Infidels.

    “The defendant attended the Burslem march and to a certain extent was an orchestrator of what took place. He is seen on the footage repeatedly shouting anti-Muslim abuse.”

    Shufflebottom, of Wellfield Road, Bentilee, was arrested in February 2018 and interviewed by police. Mr McConaghy said: “He made it clear he was anti-Muslim and DIRECTLY CRITICISED THE KORAN.”

    In August last year, while he was still on police bail in relation to that incident, he wrote several posts on his own Facebook page in support of an English Defence League march in Worcester.

    He made a number of derogatory comments about Islam, and posted a map of Worcester indicating routes those involved could use to get away from the area where the march was planned.

    Shufflebottom also posted a ‘rant about Muslim taxi drivers’ on the Stoke-on-Trent Infidels Facebook page.

    The father-of-two pleaded guilty to two charges of racially or religiously-aggravated intentional harassment, alarm or distress.

    The court heard he had 12 previous convictions for 20 offences including racially aggravated public order offences.

    Adrian Harris, mitigating, said Shufflebottam had spent his formative years in the care system mixing with certain people that had ‘skewed his thinking and how he perceived the world’.

    Mr Harris said: “Between 2012 and 2017 he committed no offences. He moved out of town, had a settled family and accommodation. The tragedy is they then moved to another area, work was not what it was and things spiralled.

    “He is a man with an addictive personality and he then found Facebook. It was not his friend.”

    The court heard the defendant had now ‘stepped away’ from these type of protests and social media, and wanted to become a role model for his two children.

    ”Racism is evil…’

    Sentencing Shufflebottom to 15 months in prison, Judge Paul Glenn told him: “I find you are highly racist. You seem to equate all those of Muslim heritage with paedophilia, grooming gangs, Muslim extremism and terrorism. You are unable to keep those views to yourself.

    “Racism is evil and there is no doubt whatsoever that these offences are so serious that only immediate custody is appropriate.”

  30. China and the Sudan Coup

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On April 11, 2019, Sudan’s long reigning president Omar Bashir was overthrown in a military coup after 30 years at the helm. China, one of his staunchest supporters, must now assess how to maintain its relationship with the African nation, which lies on a critical spot on the prospective Belt and Road route.

    Diplomatic relations between China and Sudan began in January 1959. In the early decades of the relationship, the two states focused primarily on their inclusion in the Non-Aligned Movement and not so much on cooperation in other fields, like energy and trade.

    But as China became more and more developed and Sudan became increasingly isolated, Beijing’s presence in the African country expanded enormously. Between 2000 and 2011, about 65 Chinese infrastructure projects were started in Sudan, including construction of the presidential palace, the laying of railway lines between Khartoum and Port Said, construction of power stations, and the upgrading of the local electricity grid.

    China is the leading source of imports to Sudan, with a market share of 24% – more than double that of the number two on the list, the UAE. China was, moreover, one of very few countries to supply weapons to the Bashir regime. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), in 2018 China was the only country to transfer arms to the Sudanese army.

  31. Poynter Institute wants Liberty Unyielding driven off the face of the Earth

    Remember Melissa (“Mish”) Zimdars? Of course you don’t. Her name hasn’t exactly been a household word in the two and a half years since the assistant professor of communication and media at Merrimack College (where?) compiled a list of “False, Misleading, Clickbait-y, and/or Satirical ‘News’ Sources.”of which Liberty Unyielding was one.

    I mention her now only because her list is back in the news, this time as one of the “databases of unreliable news sites” curated by the vaunted Poynter Institute for Media Studies for its own index of 515 “unreliable news websites.” Once again, LU has “made the cut.”

    As John Nolte of Breitbart (which is also on the list) notes:

  32. Mueller’s letter to Barr drops, and it’s very informative – but not in a good way
    By J.E. Dyer May 1, 2019

    Sadly for its industrious backers, this story is not aging well. On Tuesday, the narrative was rolled out that in late March, after Robert Mueller handed in the report on his 22-month investigation, he sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr complaining about how Barr had highlighted the report’s conclusions in a memo to Congress.

    The same day as the roll-out, 11 Democrats in the House of Representatives called on Justice Department IG Michael Horowitz to investigate Barr.

    The American public had to go a good 24 hours without seeing Mueller’s actual letter to Barr, and thus relying solely on the reports of the Washington Post and New York Times for its contents.

    On Wednesday, however, NBC News got hold of the original letter and has now made it available for public inspection. And none too soon: Barr testified in the Senate on Wednesday morning, and the subject of the Mueller letter came up repeatedly.

  33. Sri Lanka must address, not ignore, Muslim grievances (asiancorrespondent, May 2, 2019)
    https://asiancorrespondent.com/2019/05/sri-lanka-must-address-not-ignore-muslim-grievances/

    “THE Sri Lanka government’s response to the Easter Sunday bomb blasts has been solely from a security and military standpoint.

    But a military-centric response could also boost Colombo’s decades-long indifference to the legitimate political grievances of Muslims in the country.

    The explosions left over 250 dead in three churches packed with Easter worshippers and in luxury hotels as foreign tourists and local guests were at breakfast. But Colombo’s narrative is confused on who is to blame: it remains uncertain whether the attack was spearheaded by a local organisation, the National Thowfeek Jamath, or if ISIS (which belatedly claimed the attack) was working through the NTJ.

    The government’s response framing the blasts and the conspiracy behind it as a national security issue resulted in mainly two consequences: expanding military and police deployments and drafting new laws that facilitated security operations while restricting human freedoms.

    Following the explosions, the military poured out on to the streets. There were raids where the alleged assassins were hiding, among the more gruesome of which was on a house in Sammanthurai in the Eastern Province. While details remain murky, it appears 15 people were killed including six children. Elsewhere, more than 100 people have been arrested, while bomb squads pre-emptively detonated bombs in vehicles, located weapon caches and uncovered hoaxes as well.

    But the presence of the military to protect churches and mosques has also caused nervousness among Muslims attending prayers and Tamil congregants in Christian churches. In Tamil-speaking North and East Sri Lanka, which is emerging from the 30-year civil war and where militarisation has been the cause of a raft of human rights abuses, whole villages were cordoned off, searched and arrests made.

    The second element of strengthening national security was the new emergency regulations brought in by the government on April 24 following the proclamation of emergency the day before. Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe told the media that the Easter Sunday attackers were not apprehended because the laws in place were inadequate.

    That is palpably false since the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA), designed specifically to prevent acts such as Easter Sunday’s, has remained in the statute books despite the armed conflict with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) rebels coming to an end 10 years ago.

    While granting sweeping powers to the State, the new emergency regulations afford individuals few safeguards of their rights.

    Defining terrorism overbroadly, it calls for the death penalty or life imprisonment for – among other offences – causing destruction or damage of property, committing theft of any article from a vacant or unprotected property, or for persons dishonestly receiving or retaining articles or goods “knowing or having reasons to believe an offence has been committed in respect of such articles or goods.”

    Emergency regulations also impose draconian restrictions on the freedom of the media. It gives immense powers to a competent authority to be appointed by President Maithripala Sirisena “to take measures and give direction” for preventing or restricting publication in Sri Lanka of material that is, among other things, prejudicial to national security, the preservation of public order or incites or encourages the incitement of riots, civil commotion or mutiny.

    If these prohibitions target violence and its incitement, they will be welcome. However, they emerge in a country that has had a history of defining terrorism overbroadly under the PTA and suppressing legitimate dissent by characterising it as terrorism.

    Emergency regulations also confer extraordinary powers on “any military personnel and police officer” to arrest suspected offenders. The suspect need not necessarily be detained in a prison but could be in a place “authorised by the inspector general of police.”

    The detainee may be held up to 90 days without appearing before a magistrate. Here too the precedent set during the civil war in Sri Lanka where suspects arrested under the PTA were tortured and made to disappear bodes ill for vast powers in the hands of law enforcement and military personnel through the new laws.

    Despite these security measures, goons attacked homes of Muslim refugees, including the persecuted Ahamadya minority from Pakistan.

    What’s more, there are reports of incidents of harassment and intimidation of Muslim women for wearing niqabs and hijabs in supermarkets and banks. Muslim academics were harassed by university security for the same reason.

    And Muslim shops and businesses remain shuttered fearing retaliation by Sinhala mobs.

    While Colombo takes these measures to strengthen national security and law and order, will this approach stifle the legitimate grievances of the Muslims against Tamils, Sinhalese and especially the state?

    Muslims have had issues against both the Tamils and Sinhalese. While this article is not the place to delve into the history of Muslim-Tamil relations in northern and eastern Sri Lanka, right now ownership of land in that region remains a contentious issue.

    During the civil war, the LTTE appropriated Muslim lands. In the post-civil war era, much of those lands have been wrested back by the Muslims with political support. In fact, Tamils now accuse the military and Muslim politicians of occupying Tamil lands.

    Another disagreement is how power should be shared in the multi-ethnic Eastern Province between Muslims and Tamils, especially if more devolution is contemplated. In northern Sri Lanka, animosity bred by the LTTE’s expulsion of the Muslims remains.

    Muslim issues against the Sinhala-Buddhists have been much more fraught. There were repeated attempts by the Buddhists to suppress Muslim identity and political power. Extremist Sinhala-Buddhist organisations such as the Bodhu Bala Sena (BBS) sought to destroy mosques, incite rioting, and campaign against halal foods. Muslims have demanded that they be protected from Sinhala-Buddhist extremism.

    These legitimate concerns, never of much importance to Sinhala leaders, have been almost entirely obliterated by the Easter violence and the charged, vile rhetoric directed against the Muslims in the recent days.

    But this is precisely the way Sinhala elites approached the substantive political problems of the Tamils. Sinhala leaders characterised the conflict as a “terrorist problem” and refused to engage with root causes of Tamil grievances. By demonising Tamils as violent and senseless killers they were able to play on the fears of the Sinhala masses and persuade them that no political settlement was possible with the Tamils.

    Two important Sri Lankan political players took no time after the Easter blasts to come out with agendas focused on national security, with hardly a word of assurance to the Muslims.

    Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, who is nursing ambitions to contest presidential elections as the opposition Sri Lanka People’s Party (SLPP) candidate criticised the incumbent government for security lapses: “This government was never serious about the security aspects of things.”

    Meanwhile, Champika Ranawake, the leader of the ultra-Sinhala nationalist Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) and a cabinet minister to boot, released a 10-point agenda that included, “security forces to investigate the teaching process… of mosques”

    The Muslims of Sri Lanka and overseas should understand that while asking forgiveness from the Sinhalese and Tamils for the Easter Sunday bombings is deeply appreciated for its humility, they must not let the Sri Lankan state and its political leaders control the narrative.

    Because, while Easter Sunday’s violence is deplorable, it should not let the legitimate demands Sri Lankan Muslims have put forward through the democratic political process for redress to be ignored or neglected.”
