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. US Boosting Presence in Middle East Triggered by Intel Discoveries – Reports (sputniknews, May 7, 2019)
    https://sputniknews.com/us/201905071074771735-us-middle-east-presence-boost/

    “Washington’s decision to increase its military presence in the Middle East has been triggered by the fact that US intelligence has acquired data indicating that Iran is planning attacks on US forces and allies in the region, The Wall Street Journal confirmed on Tuesday, citing unnamed US officials.

    According to The Wall Street Journal, US intelligence has found out that Iran has plans to target US forces in Iraq and possibly in Syria, while it is also going to stage attacks in Ba-el-Mandeb strait near Yemen through its proxies and in the Persian Gulf with its own armed drones. Iran reportedly may seek to attack US forces in Kuwait as well.

    Iranian threat may be coming both from land and water, US officials told The Wall Street Journal, adding that they are surprised with the specificity of the Iranian plans to target US forces.

    However, it remains unclear if these plans are unavoidable, or Iranian moves depend on the further development of the US-Iranian relations.

    Between 5,000 and 7,000 US forces are operating in Iraq, while over 1,000 are operating in Syria and even more in Kuwait, sources added.

    They said that the administration of US President Donald Trump could position Patriot missile systems to the Middle East later.

    Sources suggested that it could be the CENTCOM, which Iran qualified as a terrorist group, who had asked Washington to increase its presence in the region where CENTCOM operated…”

  3. Swedes Shocked Over ‘Orwellian’ Hate-o-Mat Supposed to Seek Out Web Abuse (sputniknews, May 7, 2019)
    https://sputniknews.com/europe/201905071074773161-sweden-hate-speech-crackdown/

    “The new automatic “hate-detecting” machine is claimed to assist authorities in weeding out hate speech, online abuse, and incitement of ethnic hatred. Many Swedes, however, have interpreted it as the “thought police” and an encroachment on free speech.

    The Swedish Police have in collaboration with the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) and Uppsala University developed a hate-seeking mechanism to combat hate speech. To help the machine reach its full capacity, fellow Swedes have been urged to feed it with samples of hate speech (so far limited to the Swedish language).

    On Hatomat.se, visitors are greeted by a robot who says “I eat hate”, “give me some more hate, please”, and “thanks for your hate”.

    “The material will eventually help law enforcement authorities to investigate threats, violations and harassment of groups or individuals in digital environments”, FOI explained.

    The purpose of the algorithm, dubbed Hatomat (“Hate Automaton” or “Hate-o-mat”) and financed by the innovation agency Vinnova, is to automatically detect crimes such as hate speech or inciting ethnic hatred. The ultimate goal is to develop a mechanism that can be used by social media platforms and newsmakers.

    “By asking for help from those who are subjected to hateful comments, we hope to collect more training data and thus develop better algorithms”, FOI researcher Johan Fernquist said.

    However, many Swedes have turned out to be wary of the innovation, expressing fears of censorship, thought police and cracking down on dissenting views. Some went so far as to accuse the police and FOI of “Stasi manners” after East Germany’s notorious secret police.

    “Crikey. Crikey!!! A Hat-o-mat that is going to ‘collect online hate’ from the public. This database will eventually be filled with almost every word from the Swedish dictionary if the leftist radical feminists get to call the shots. For them, just about EVERYTHING that they don’t like is ‘hate'”, a user tweeted.

    “I believe it’s a waste of resources. ‘Threats’? Yes, absolutely. Report and follow up. ‘Abuses’? Duh, it’s the internet. Block, ignore, or just stop using media where everyone can write to you”, another one suggested.

    “Hate speech is the new ‘You have sinned! Repent!’ because you violate my fragile worldview”, yet another frowned.

    “The hat-o-mat threatens free speech by bullying people into silence. The underlying purpose of the hat-o-mat is to silence social criticism and criticism of shady lying politicians and the media. The gap between democracy and dictatorship is shrinking in Sweden”, another critical user tweeted.

    Many more comments on Twitter and Sweden’s most popular forum Flashback have slammed the “hate machine” as “Orwellian”, claiming it made online discourse sterile and could potentially be used to silence critics.

    Additionally, many questioned the AI’s ability to fully understand and appreciate sarcasm, which could potentially lead to more repercussions for innocent people.”

  4. Islamist Terror Attack in Ireland ‘a Question of When, Not If’, Claims Security Specialist (breitbart, May 7, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/05/07/islamist-terror-ireland-security/

    “Authorities in Ireland are nowhere near prepared to deal with an Islamist attack against its people, an expert has warned after national police recently launched efforts to stop radicalisation through increasing ‘diversity’.

    Former chief petty officer in the Irish navy Eamon Dolan, who now works training three and four-man teams to protect ships against attacks from Somali pirates and other threats, said the population of Ireland is a “target for extremists”.

    Training and recruitment manager at the private maritime security company, Alphard, Dolan told local media he feared for his homeland’s safety after travelling from Sri Lanka to take part in a march at which 1,500 retired members of the Irish Defence Forces staged a protest against ‘crisis’-level pay and conditions.

    “Having been in Sri Lanka and witnessed the recent terrorism atrocities unfold where churches, hotels, and roadside bombs targeted mainly Christian communities, and having seen the unbelievably professional response of counter-terrorism units, I can tell you, that we in Ireland are targets for extremists,” he told the Irish Examiner.

    “As a security expert, I can also tell you we’re not ready [in Ireland]. Our reservists are also being depleted and it’s a question of when, not if, we are targeted,” he said.

    But law enforcement officials in Ireland had previously claimed that underrepresentation of third world migrant populations amongst officers in the country was like a “ticking time bomb” that could encourage people to “radicalise”, suggesting that a lack of ethnic diversity in its workforce could lead to “an explosion in our communities sooner than we might have ever imagined”.

    Breitbart London reported last month on moves by the Gardaí (Irish police) to allow hijabs as part of its uniform, as part of a bid to encourage more diverse candidates to join the force.

    The Garda Representative Association (GRA), which represents 12,000 rank and file police officers in Ireland, stated last year: “If ethnic minorities are marginalised or disenfranchised, history shows us they will retreat and extremists will take over leading to the type of social chaos we have seen in many cities across Europe in recent times.”

    The Islamic State’s recent defeat in Syria has seen Ireland join other EU nations that have absorbed huge numbers of immigrants, in being faced with the question of what to do with migrants who fought with the jihadi terror group but who hold Irish passports.

    Globalist Irish leader and mass migration enthusiast, Leo Varadkar, said he would be “loathe to revoke anyone’s citizenship” after members of the Islamist terror group who have lived in Western nations began showing up at ‘refugee camps’ in the Middle East, hoping to make journeys back to Europe.”

    China’s top trade negotiator to visit US despite tariffs

    Beijing (AFP) – China said Tuesday its top trade negotiator will visit the United States for talks with American counterparts this week even as Washington stepped up pressure with plans to hike tariffs and complaints that Beijing was backtracking on its commitments.

    The commerce ministry confirmed in a brief statement that Vice Premier Liu He, President Xi Jinping’s trade pointman, would visit the US on Thursday and Friday.

    The trip is taking place a day later than expected after President Donald Trump jolted global markets by announcing that tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese merchandise will more than double to 25 percent on Friday.

    “China always believes that mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit are the premise and the basis for reaching an agreement. Adding tariffs will not solve any problem,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said at a regular press briefing.

  6. Treasury denies Democrats’ demand for Trump tax returns, again

    Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has denied congressional Democrats’ request for six years of President Donald Trump’s personal and business tax returns, writing that the request “lacks a legitimate legislative purpose” and therefore the Dept is “not authorized” to release the returns.

    Mnuchin added that the Department of Justice had informed Treasury, “that it intends to memorialize its advice in a published legal opinion as soon as practical.”

    “Out of respect for the deadlines previously set by the Committee, and consistent with our commitment to a prompt response, I am informing you now that the Department may not lawfully fulfill the Committee’s request,” he wrote.

    He said that Treasury would work with the committee “to provide information concerning the Committee’s stated interest in how the IRS conducts mandatory examinations of Presidents, as provided by the Internal Revenue Manual.

    “If the Committee is interested, we remain committed to providing such an accommodation,” Mnuchin wrote.

  7. Never mind Alex Jones and Milo Yiannopoulos. Now Google has banned a conservative think tank

What is really dangerous, not to mention un-American, is denying any citizen the right to free speech, which is guaranteed under the First Amendment to the Constitution.

    But now, liberal censorship was reached a new level of absurdity. Google has banned the Claremont Institute, a conservative think tank.

    He reportedly had a bleeding wound under his chin and traces of vomit were found at the scene.

    According to Le point citing sources from the Italian Embassy, ??this is a “death due to natural causes”. Le Point reported that the agent, known as Massimo I., was in Paris on a language course as part of a conventional cultural exchange between the two nations.

    Local police have reportedly found a bag containing almost 2,000 euros in cash, and classified documents in Massimo I.’s safe. An investigation into his death is currently underway.”

  12. Nadler schedules vote to hold Barr in contempt of Congress
    By Daily Caller News Foundation May 7, 2019

    House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler scheduled a vote Monday to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for not giving the committee special counsel Robert Mueller’s full unredacted report.

    The New York Democrat gave Barr a deadline of 9 a.m. Monday to turn in the full report with no redactions, which many Republicans believe would be dangerous due to the possibly sensitive material, which could be leaked. Nadler has now scheduled the congressional contempt vote for Wednesday, May 8 at 10 a.m.

    “Even in redacted form, the Special Counsel’s report offers disturbing evidence and analysis that President Trump engaged in obstruction of justice at the highest levels. Congress must see the full report and underlying evidence to determine how to best move forward with oversight, legislation, and other constitutional responsibilities,” Nadler said in a statement Monday.

  13. Dem rep offers to pay followers $100 for doxxing teens praying outside abortion clinic
    By Ben Bowles May 7, 2019

    I can’t confirm whether the platform he ran on included a pledge to go out with a video camera and harass people who feel differently than he does about abortion. But that is what Democratic Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Sims has been up to lately.

    Last week, the abortion crusader and self-appointed arbiter on human conduct camped out in front of Philadelphia’s Center City chapter of Planned Parenthood, making life miserable for people exercising their right peaceful assembly.

    His first target was, in his words, “an old white lady who is going to try to avoid showing you her face. But the same laws, luckily, that protect her for being out here also protect me for showing you who she is.” True up a point, but is getting in the face of “old white ladies” what voters in the Keystone State want and expect of their lawmakers?

    Sims didn’t limit his critique of the woman to his own observations but attempted repeatedly and unsuccessfully to engage her, demanding to know:

  14. Warning to Iran: Reading the new sheriff’s tea leaves
    By J.E. Dyer May 7, 2019

    After John Bolton and Mike Pompeo came out in the last few days with pointed warnings to Iran – and specific reference to the deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) Carrier Strike Group, and an Air Force bomber task force – there were a lot of questions.

    But there was one big one. What was this about?

    To frame the discussion, it’s useful to put down a marker from someone who obviously remembers well that carrier deployments have been routine, and done on a schedule, for a long, long time. This observer is also, clearly, a – let us say, a Trump (and Bolton) skeptic. He points out the routineness and scheduling factors advisedly:

    Iran has been sending additional military “advisers” to Venezuela in recent weeks. And I’m skeptical than that’s mainly because the Iranians think Maduro can be propped up.

    • Iran’s Hand Behind the Latest Flare Up in Gaza, Israel
      Iran meddling in Palestinian affairs, intensifying conflict

      The violent spasm from Hamas-run Gaza isn’t just another episode in the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict or merely another incident in a cycle of violence in which the Palestinians are given no agency. It is a significant escalation that tests the prevailing rules of the game with Israel where Iran is demonstrating its ability to intensify the conflict by meddling in Palestinian affairs.

      Despite the ceasefire previously hammered out by Egypt, a sniper from Iran’s proxy—the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ)—opened fire across the Gaza fence wounding an Israeli officer and soldier on Friday. The attack is all the more brazen as it took place as Hamas and PIJ leaders were in Cairo finishing an agreement to ease the tensions in Gaza and Israel’s south. The IDF responded to the initial incident by targeting a Hamas outpost, killing three Hamas terrorists.

      Beginning around 10 a.m. the next morning, the first of hundreds of rockets were fired by Hamas and PIJ into Israel, with around 700 launched toward Israeli homes and infrastructure by Sunday evening, killing four civilians and injuring dozens. Hamas-affiliated Shehab News Agency posted video of a salvo of rockets fired from Gaza.

    • U.S. Readies New Sanctions on Cuba, Russia for Backing Maduro in Venezuela
      Top U.S. official tells Free Beacon more sanctions coming

      The Trump administration is readying a new salvo of sanctions on Cuba and Russia for their destabilizing activities in Venezuela that have helped prop up Nicolás Maduro, according to the U.S. Special Representative for Venezuela, who told the Washington Free Beacon in a wide-ranging interview that America is still considering military options to deal with a worsening humanitarian crisis in the country as Maduro refuses to relinquish power.

      Senior U.S. officials continue to hold regular talks with Juan Guaidó, whom the United States recognizes as Venezuela’s interim president, as he seeks to build momentum for popular protests against Maduro, whom the United States accuses of stealing the country’s elections.

      As protests reach a breaking point, with scores of Venezuelans struggling to get basic necessities, Maduro has grown closer with traditional U.S. foes such as Russia, Cuba, and even Iran, according to Elliott Abrams, a veteran U.S. foreign policy hand who now serves as the Trump administration’s special representative for Venezuela.

      Abrams told the Free Beacon that the Trump administration continues to examine military options to deal with the crisis in Venezuela and that it is already working on a new series of sanctions packages to target Cuba and Russia for their backing of Maduro.

    • VP Pence’s clue to who’s behind migrant caravan suggests major implications; media silent
      By J.E. Dyer October 23, 2018

      Left-wing pundits have been presenting the migrant caravan heading north through Mexico as a group of refugees from crime and chaos in Honduras, seeking asylum in countries to the north. Because there is a high level of crime and a pattern of social breakdown in Honduras, this characterization, whether it’s fully accurate or not, can be seen as logical. (In fact, I don’t doubt that at least some people in the caravan set out for that reason.)

      There is good reason to question it, however, starting with the fact that the further it gets from Honduras, the bigger the caravan grows. It seemed to double in size, to some 3,000, on its progress through Guatemala. Guatemala is also a troubled nation, of course; perhaps a very large number of people there all decided spontaneously to join in and seek asylum from Mexico and the United States.

      But since the caravan burst through the security fence at the Mexico-Guatemala border, it reportedly grew to somewhere between 5,000 and 7,000 people. On Monday night, a Mexican news outlet, El Universal, was quoted as saying the number was up to 14,000, although I haven’t seen confirmation of that.

    • The quality of the messaging depends not on the iron-clad necessity for scheduling when it comes to carriers, air wings, and their escorts, but on the state of the world.…

      So now, when Bolton and Pompeo are talking very specifically about why a duly-scheduled carrier is moving into CENTCOM just at this time, it rises above the noise and has meaning.…

      Terrific analysis from a seasoned professional. These are scheduled deployments; the message is what’s important. That pitch-perfect, “Head’s up, Enemy,” hasn’t been heard in quite a while. I like it.

  15. Richard: Pay close attention to what all of the articles are saying, she is warning us not to believe that the Propaganda Media is saying (we all know to not trust them) and she is saying that the movement of the carrier group may be sending a signal to Iran to not trust that they are save from retaliation for what their surrogats may do half way around the world.

    She points out that Iran is the probable reason for the massive rocket barrage into Israel and th at Iran has been smuggling Moslems of other ethnicity but the same theological beliefs into Venezuela for many years with the intent of getting them into the US. (Hezbollah claims to have 10,000 people inside the US.) When you take that into consideration the Iranian threat may not have been against our people in the Middle East but a threat about terrorist action inside the US. Possible a large scale large causality strike. Since the 9/11/01 attack by Sunni al Qaeda/MB terrorist killed around 3,000 Americans Shia Iran will want to kill more Americans in one strike to be one up on the Sunni.

    Since she makes a pointed warning about the danger to the US Homeland from Venezuela does she know more then she can write in the article or is this just a generalized warning because we haven’t heard anything about Iran and Venezuela recently?

    • She’s not the only one looking for patterns. It’s everywhere in Israeli military blogs. Where you’ll always find Russians.
      Russian-Israeli Russians or Russian-Russia Russians?

      The Gaza affair’s significant in geostrategic terms. A big deal that was contained, something only Israel could manage.

      As a tripwire, gives us lots of information. We can’t go all crazy now, gotta sort things
      out.

  18. MEMRI – Egyptian Cleric Muhammad Al-Zoghbi Goes Off on an Antisemitic Rant: America, the West Are the Jews

    Egyptian cleric Sheikh Muhammad Al-Zoghbi said in a March 25, 2019 show on Al-Rahma TV (Egypt) that the conflict between the Jews and the Muslims started with the Prophet Muhammad, who had been able to defeat the plots, traps, and tricks of the Jews and cleanse Medina of their filth.

    Al-Zoghbi said that there cannot be peace with the Jews and cited a hadith in which the Prophet Muhammad said that Judgement Day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, who will hide behind the rocks and the trees, which, in turn, will call to the Muslims to kill the Jews hiding behind them.

    Al-Zoghbi said that the Jews are killing Muslims with American weapons and added: “America is the Jews. The West is the Jews these days.”

    He claimed that this is why Western countries say that they are responsible for Israel’s security.

    • This shows the limits of peace with tards.

      The Egyptian govt has 100% control over the media. Nothing is said without Sisi’s ok.
      His govt would fall in no time flat without Israel’s continuous intelligence and military support. Plus all sorts of material help.

      And yet this incitement to hate is relentless. It’s worse than before the celebrated Begin-Sadat accord. It’s the coldest possible peace.

      “Egyptians’ attitudes about Israel are overwhelmingly negative. Roughly nine-in-ten (92%) are unfavorable toward their neighbor, including 89% who are very unfavorable. Fewer than one-in-ten (7%) hold positive views of Israel.

      Similarly, very few in Egypt (3%) prioritize having a good relationship with Israel. The vast majority (88%) thinks it is not important for the two countries to be on good terms.

      Roughly six-in-ten Egyptians (63%) want to annul the historic 1979 peace treaty between Egypt and Israel; 32% want to maintain it.”

  19. Egypt and Iran Vie for Influence in Gaza
    By Yaakov Lappin
    May 7, 2019

    BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 1,166, May 7, 2019

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: While Cairo is exerting its influence in Gaza to avoid a new conflict and mediate a period of calm, Iran sees Gaza as one more base from which to grow and control a proxy terrorist army.

    At the start of April, Hebrew media reports quoted unnamed Israeli security officials as saying that the Iranian-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror faction, which possesses a rocket arsenal even larger than that of Hamas, was planning a major attack on Israeli targets.

    The disclosure of this information appeared to achieve its goal of discouraging the perpetrators, and no attack transpired. But the fact that PIJ was reportedly planning an incident that could have upset Egyptian attempts to restore calm to the Gaza Strip could hint at a wider struggle taking place within Gaza between Egypt and Iran.

    Gaza’s ruling regime, Hamas, has reportedly faced demands from Egypt in recent months to decide whether it “takes its orders from Tehran or continues to implement the understandings for calm” formulated by the head of Egyptian intelligence Abbas Kamel.

    The clash of interests between these two regional powers seems clear. Egypt wishes to see Gaza calm, stable, and cut off from ISIS-affiliated terror networks in Sinai, which also threaten Egyptian security; while Iran sees Gaza as one more base from which it can exercise its radical influence and encourage the growth of a terrorist army that threatens not only Israel but the stability of the whole region.

    • I should have put this one up with the J.E. Dryer article about the Carrier Group and Iran. It looks like Iran is raising hell around the world and President Trump wants them to know that we are on to what they are doing. This also lends credence to my Idea that she is warning about possible Iranian surrogate terrorist action in the US.

    We now know without a doubt the former President Barack Obama was in on the Deep State’s actions to spy on President Trump and entrap his team members. We don’t know how much spying and attempts of entrapment went on, but we do know Obama was aware of it all.

    Democrats and Deep State dirty cops have claimed for months that there was no spying on the Trump campaign. Now we know without a doubt that there was not only spying, but the dirty cops in the Deep State attempted to entrap Trump team members through this spying. We also know without a doubt that Obama was in on it.

    We know Obama was in on it based on numerous pieces of information.

    For starters we know that Obama spied on numerous people for years while he was President. Obama took the US Intelligence community and corrupted it. He used the US intelligence apparatus to spy on anyone and everyone and especially his enemies. We put a list of the many individuals and entities Obama spied on that we know of here.

    We also know that Hillary’s long lost emails were found in the White House. This was reported by Judicial Watch in April 2019 –

  22. UK – Muslim mum seeks compensation from Aldi after claiming veggie lasagne sauce ‘tasted like bacon’

    A woman who converted to Islam seven years ago says that she has been left ‘distraught’ after sampling an Aldi vegetarian pasta sauce that she believes tastes like bacon.

    Rianne Ward made her son dinner with the Cucina creamy lasagne sauce from Aldi, but says that she was left angry and upset to taste the bacon flavour.

    She feared that she might have betrayed her religion by consuming pork, DerbyshireLive reports .

    The 39-year-old, who lives in Derby, said that she “smelt something odd” about the sauce, labelled as vegetarian.

    Supermarket Aldi has contacted DerbyshireLive to reassure customers that the product is vegetarian and explained that the sauce has a distinctive smoked flavour.

    Miss Ward said she was furious when she tasted the dish because she thought that it contained bacon, which Muslims are strictly forbidden from eating.

    She said: “I just sat down and my young son said ‘Mummy, this smells like bacon’.

    “When I ate it, it tasted just like bacon which made me feel sick. I was absolutely seething and went back down to the store.

    “I just went in with the jar of sauce and made them smell it. I thought it must have been contaminated.”

    Having converted to Islam seven years ago, Miss Ward is familiar with the taste and odour of bacon.

    She said: “There was no bacon in it because it had a vegetarian label but a staff member kept telling me it was a carbonara sauce.

    “It isn’t. It’s just a white sauce but that shouldn’t explain why it tastes like bacon.”

    Miss Ward has since lodged a formal complaint with Aldi and has kept some of the dish in her fridge as evidence, still concerned that the sauce may contain meat.

    She told DerbyshireLive she’s hoping to be compensated for what has happened because she feels badly let down by the product and the company.

    She added: “I’m absolutely furious. I’ve been a Muslim for years now and avoided bacon for so long.

    “Then this happens. I felt like I’d betrayed my religion. Aldi have told me they are going to test the sauce to see if it has been contaminated. It’s just not on.”

    A spokesperson from Aldi told DerbyshireLive that the product is vegetarian but does contain a smoked flavouring.

    The spokesperson said: “We are sorry to hear Miss Ward is unhappy with this product and can reassure her the lasagne sauce is completely meat free.

    “The product is flavoured with smoked salt which gives it its distinctive taste.”

    • I just discovered fake bacon this year.
      ! I love it !
      All veggie, still makes me feel naughty. People say it tastes like the real thing – but only if you’ve never tried the real thing.

    • A woman who converted to Islam seven years ago says that she has been left ‘distraught’ after sampling an Aldi vegetarian pasta sauce that she believes tastes like bacon …

      … She told DerbyshireLive she’s hoping to be compensated for what has happened because she feels badly let down by the product and the company.

      She added: “I’m absolutely furious. I’ve been a Muslim for years now and avoided bacon for so long.

      “Then this happens. I felt like I’d betrayed my religion. Aldi have told me they are going to test the sauce to see if it has been contaminated. It’s just not on.”

      Well, I think that the foregoing contained hate speech. I don’t care what the words in that article say. I say that it smelled like hate speech and it tormented me just to think that such such a horrible thing might possibly happen while innocently reading a news article and maybe encountering what no true Scotsman would call anything but hate speech. It felt like I’d betrayed my id. [sob] It’s just not on!

      Meanwhile, back at Offutt AFB: There’s those who might advise that—prior to erupting in this sort of manufactured outrage kindergarten tantrum—submorons like Rianne Ward had best consult in advance with her fellow professional whinging bastards. Should enough of these thankless, inbred, murdering cretins keep up with their genocide against the West, there’s over a billion of them to take it out on. Not to mention the many inventive ways we can do it swiftly, thoroughly, and permanently.

    • Now industry I responsible for their taste-buds,a single woman with a child,if you are true to your faith,the child conceived out of wedlock must have been rape,she is due several dozen lashes,if she is devout.

    How the border crisis facilitates the entry of terrorists.

    On Sunday, April 28, 2019, CBS News program, 60 Minutes reported on The Situation At The Southern Border.

    Here is how the 60 Minutes’ report began:

    Earlier this month, President Trump placed Kevin McAleenan in charge of the Department of Homeland Security. The president fired his previous DHS chief, Kirstjen Nielsen, because he said he wanted to go in a tougher direction. As the new acting secretary, McAleenan is facing the largest wave of illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border in a decade. 100,000 migrants were detained just last month. So we went to McAllen, Texas, one of the busiest sections on the border, to see for ourselves. We were surprised how many families were crossing, where they were detained and how quickly they were released. We asked Secretary McAleenan how he plans to manage the crisis and navigate what may be the most difficult job in Washington.

    It is worth noting that 60 Minutes described the situation as a “crisis” a reality denied by many Democrats.

    The 60 Minutes team was given access to the McAllen Border Patrol Station where, at the time, was housing 551 aliens who were being processed after they crossed into the United States.

    Here is an excerpt from the 60 Minutes report:

  25. The Pardon of Lt. Behenna Was Long Overdue
    May 7, 2019
    Daniel Greenfield

    The media cheered when Obama pardoned drug dealers. It cheered just as loudly when American soldiers went on trial for fighting Islamic terrorism.

    President Trump’s pardon of Lt. Michael Behenna is justice long overdue.

    Lt. Behenna, an Army Ranger, had his career and his life destroyed for shooting an Al Qaeda terrorist who had played a role in the murder of members of his platoon after the terrorist had thrown a chunk of concrete at him. The military covered up exculpatory evidence and made an example out of him.

    https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/273701/pardon-lt-behenna-was-long-overdue-daniel-greenfield

    • So far as the armed forces go, you can bet the farm that Trump just swept any military votes in 2020. There’s lot’s of delicious irony to trowel on here. Shall we?

      A.) With such a predictable landslide forthcoming from , anything like previous DNC efforts to obstruct overseas ballots will be pretty damn obvious.

      B.) This very Presidential prerogative has been exercised sufficiently in advance of November 2020 for pro-Trump sentiment to percolate through the ranks like a pot of Navy coffee.

      C.) Trump’s pardon of Lt. Behenna—combined with conspicuous reversals of 0bama-era sabotage (e.g., mothballing CVN 75)—can only improve troop morale.

      D.) Happy letters home to spouse, mom or pop—especially instead of a pine box—makes for happy voters.

      E.) Happy soldiers tend kick a lot more ass than unhappy ones.

      F.) Presidents that lead while kicking the ass of America’s enemies get reelected.

      • SIGH…

        A.) With such a predictable landslide forthcoming from the ranks, anything like previous DNC efforts to obstruct overseas ballots will be pretty damn obvious.

  26. Anti-Semitism is Thriving Among Activists, Not Americans
    How the ‘Campusization’ of American politics is spreading hate.
    May 7, 2019
    Daniel Greenfield

    If anti-Semitism is thriving among Americans, there’s no sign of it in any of the latest polls. Americans are the least anti-Semitic people in the world. A 2017 poll, taken at the height of a spike in anti-Semitism, showed that 14% of Americans held anti-Semitic attitudes. That was up from 10% in 2015 and 12% in 2013. That’s not a great trend, but it also shows just how narrow the scope of the problem is.

    It’s also dramatically different than the numbers from similar polls conducted in Europe.

    How then can we explain the rise in anti-Semitic violence? What about the increased harassment of Jews on campuses and in major cities? And why is there a rise in anti-Semitic discourse?

    There’s no climate of hatred in America. The rising anti-Semitic rhetoric and violence are the work of small but highly active political groups who have become disproportionately influential in public life.

    The rise in anti-Semitism isn’t happening among ordinary Americans, but among a narrow group of influencers. An anti-Semitic cartoon in the New York Times isn’t representative of the country. Neither is Rep. Ilhan Omar. Nor are Richard Spencer or the alt-righters who tweet their own anti-Semitic memes.

    Al Green: The American People Can’t Be Trusted, That’s Why We MUST Impeach Trump

    by Doyle Alexander

    President Trump is sure to be reelected if Democrats don’t move to impeach him, said Rep. Al Green (D-Texas).

    Green, who along with Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) has tried and failed to impeach Trump twice since 2017, insisted that the only way to stop Trump is through impeachment.

    “I’m concerned if we don’t impeach this president, he will get re-elected,” Green said on MSNBC Saturday, adding that Trump would claim he was “vindicated” in the Russia witch hunt if Democrats didn’t impeach.

    Richard: It is good that the Dems are so sure that PT will be re-elected, this will give him more time to undo the damage that the left has done to the nation. What is scary is who will be elected President after 8 years of Trump? If it is Pence we have a good chance we will get the 3rd and 4th Trump Administrations.

    Hopefully the first rounds of WWIII will be over before PT is out of office and the majority of people will see why we need to remain a strong nation. Unfortunately the leftist who manage to remain out of prison after the civil war are going to be screaming about how the war is over and we won’t need a strong military anymore.

    The first summit between the European Union (EU) and the Arab League, formally known as the League of Arab States (LAS), took place on February 24-25. “Europeans and Arabs have a long and rich history of cultural, economic, commercial and political exchanges. This, together with the geographical proximity and interdependence, has contributed to institutionalise a strong relationship between the EU and the League of Arab States (LAS). Within this framework, the common aim is to develop closer cooperation to realise their shared aspirations to ensure peace, security and prosperity in both regions,” the website of the European Union announced.

    “The summit marked the start of a new dialogue between the EU and the LAS. Leaders committed to hold EU-LAS summits regularly, with the next summit set to take place in Brussels in 2022” according to the EU press release, which also included President of the European Council, Donald Tusk’s statement that, “There are differences between us. But we face common challenges and have shared interests. We need to cooperate and not leave it to global powers far from our region.”

    Tusk referred to the values gap between the states of the Arab League and those of the European Union as “differences between us”. Such euphemisms however, do not explain the evident lack of even the pretense, on the part of the EU, to comply with its own stated human rights policies.

  31. Austrian Chancellor Kurz Demands Sanctions On Those Who Aid Illegal Migration (breitbart, May 7, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/05/07/austrian-chancellor-kurz-demands-sanctions-on-those-who-aid-illegal-migration/

    “Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has demanded that the European Union (EU) take new actions to enact economic sanctions on those who aid illegal migration into Europe and across national borders within the union.

    Kurz said that he wanted to see the political bloc do more to provide consequences to those who allow and facilitate illegal migration saying, “There are too few sanctions in the European Union, for example against those who run through the debt rules or allow irregular migrants to pass from one state to another,” Il Giornale reports.

    “If the member states continue to let illegal immigrants enter Central Europe and do not comply with their obligations, clear sanctions are needed,” Kurz added and said that the EU must also give more support to countries on the EU’s external border such as Spain, Italy and Greece.

    While Kurz stressed the need to end illegal migration across the Mediterranean and end the drowning deaths of migrants, he said there was still a need for the EU to take in legitimate refugees saying, “we must provide assistance on the spot and improve integration programs in Europe, to bring the weakest of the weak who come from war zones here.”…”

  32. Television Crew Attacked While Filming Report on Emerging Migrant No-Go Zone (breitbart, May 7, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/05/07/television-crew-attacked-while-filming-report-on-emerging-migrant-no-go-zone/

    “A television crew working for Belgian broadcaster RTL was attacked by migrants at the Gare du Nord station in Brussels while they were filming an investigation on the refusal of bus drivers in the city to stop at the ‘rapidly deteriorating’ location.

    The television crew were attacked on Sunday morning while the crew were trying to interview a bus driver and filming a bus belonging to the De Lijn company following a refusal of drivers to serve the major capital-city transport interchange with their vehicles.

    According to the journalist, “The individual got out of the station and shot toward our reporters. He then quickly approached and violently shoved our reporters. ‘We are not animals,’ he said while attacking our colleagues,” RTL reports.

    Drivers of De Lijn have complained that the state of the station has rapidly deteriorated both in terms of physical safety and in terms of health, claiming previously that they fear migrants may be spreading diseases such as tuberculosis, scabies and malaria following a report by another Belgian media outlet that traces of the diseases had been found among the migrants living at the station.

    City transport company STIB announced this week it would be suspending services to the station, re-routing buses to nearby stops, because of health concerns. The suspension took effect Tuesday morning.

    The ACV, ACOD and ACLVB unions have all expressed support for the drivers who have been complaining about the dangerous environment surrounding the area for the past several months and said that until the conditions are improved they would support the drivers not stopping at the station.

    The spreading of diseases among migrants living on the streets, particularly the scabies parasite, has become a major problem in Paris as well with NGOs who worked with migrants in 2017 complaining that cases had seen a substantial rise. The prevalence of scabies even forced a group of migrants to vacate a squat within a Paris university after members of the university staff started to become infected as well.

    Paris has also seen public transport workers refuse to stop at certain stations due to drug use and violence in areas where homeless migrants often congregate.

    Drivers working for the Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (RATP), listed several stations last year, including Porte de La Chapelle, well-known for being a hub of homeless migrants, as stations they would not stop at due to the danger both to them and to their passengers.”

    • How much will you take whitey?Amoured buses with blacked-out windows,no busses at all,cos the wogs don’t like it.Two thousand years to construct a reasonable civilisation,five years to destroy it,and back to the jungle,”so shall we just sit”?

  33. Twitter Suspends Ocasio-Cortez Parody Account For Being ‘Misleading’

    Social media platforms have been slashing away at conservatives for years, often with sneaky “shadow bans,” but now they’re beginning to be more brazen about it. Just last month, Twitter suspended vocal conservative actor James Woods after he posted a quote from poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson.

    On Monday, Twitter went so far as to ban — permanently — a popular parody account that mocks Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for all the dumb things she says (like last week when she marveled at how plants grow in dirt).

    The Twitter page, titled @AOCPress once had 85,000 followers. Now, the page simply says “This account has been suspended.” The account was created and operated by Mike Morrison, who also had his personal account — with more than 50,000 followers — permanently banned.

    But Twitter’s reasoning for the ban was, in a word, bizarre. In an email to Morrison, Twitter cited the rule that “you may not register or create fake and misleading accounts,” Human Events writes. “The tech giant then followed that statement by saying ‘you may use Twitter pseudonymously or as a parody.’ “
