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.

  2. Dumb & Dumber: Chechen mafia guarded police buildings in Germany+++
    Members of Chechen mafia gangs are said to have received security orders for several police buildings in Germany. Now the Federal Criminal Police Office is concerned about the security, reports news channel n-tv.According to a magazine “Spiegel” report, a Chechen mafia security service is said to have taken care of police buildings, accommodation for the police and the mobile task force. The Federal Criminal Police Office is alarmed and fears that the criminals could obtain sensitive information from security authorities.The documents for the security service originate from a confidential Federal Criminal Police Office paper, as the magazine reports. According to the magazine, buildings in which the forces of a Special Operations Command (SEK) and a Mobile Operations Command (MEK) were housed were also affected.According to the report, the Federal Criminal Police Office warned in its analysis that there was a danger that criminals would “observe police tactics at first hand”. According to “Spiegel”, the document does not reveal which police buildings were involved.The Federal Criminal Police Office report was therefore completed a few weeks ago. With the participation of several state criminal investigation offices, the Federal Intelligence Service, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, customs and the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees, the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) analyzed the machinations of North Caucasian organized crime in Germany for more than a year.According to the report, criminals from Chechnya in particular are on the rise in some regions and, because of their great brutality, are increasingly displacing other groups from criminal activities such as drug trafficking, theft or extortion.

    • … the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) analyzed the machinations of North Caucasian organized crime in Germany for more than a year.

      Whichever PCMC apparatchik it was that finally figured out how to use the word “Caucasian” in a pejorative context must have drowned in their ensuing orgasms.

    • I wish I could say I am shocked but things like this have become common and to a large extent expected.

    “The rescue operation to free the two French tourists, identified as Patrick Picque and Laurent Lassimouillas, took place overnight. The tourists had disappeared from Pendjari National Park in Benin on 1 May and their local guide had been found dead.

    French officials have said that two soldiers were killed in northern Burkina Faso during an operation to rescue four hostages that had been kidnapped in the neighbouring African nation of Benin last week.

    According to a spokesperson for Macron, French forces have rescued two French hostages as well as American and a South Korean in northern Burkina Faso…”

    “The militant was killed in Shopian district, Jammu and Kashmir, during a gunfight which broke out during a search operation that security forces conducted after receiving a tip-off.

    New Delhi (Sputnik): Security forces in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir on Friday killed a militant during a search operation in a village in Shopian district. The incident caused uproar among the local residents, who staged a protest over it.

    The terrorist was later identified as Ishfaq Ahmad Sofi alias Abdullah Bhai from Model Town, Sopore.

    Official said the gunfight broke out after the joint teams of the army and the state police launched a search operation in the village. “A terrorist was killed in the gunfight. Arms and ammunition were recovered from the gunfight site,” an Indian Army official said.

    All shops and other business establishments were shut down in nearby Sopore, while public transport remained off the roads in view of the killing…”

  5. It’s Official: Danish Quran-Burners to Make Their Debut in National Elections (sputniknews, May 10, 2019)
    https://sputniknews.com/europe/201905101074874729-denmark-new-right-wing-party/

    “The latest polls suggest that the right-wing Stram Kurs party, which has gained publicity through Quran burnings and calls to deport Muslims, may well enter the Danish parliament.

    The right-wing Stram Kurs (“Hard Line”) party, which has run a rapid campaign to obtain the necessary number of signatures, is ready to make their debut in national elections, Danish Radio reported.

    A recent Voxmeter survey indicates a 2.4 percent support for Stram Kurs, which means that the anti-immigration party, founded in 2017 by Rasmus Paludan, may well enter parliament in its very first run, Danish Radio reported. The threshold to enter the Danish parliament is 2 percent.

    “This is of course pleasing. I don’t take anything for granted, but we may have even greater support. There are many right-wingers who do not want to say they’re voting Stram Kurs,” Paludan said.

    In a recent reader poll by Extra Bladet daily newspaper, Stram Kurs gathered as much as 24 percent, but this sensational result was later attributed to a troll invasion from the 4chan forum, Danish Radio reported.

    Should the right-wing Stram Kurs party manage to get any seats, as the current polls indicate, it remains an open question whether other parties are prepared to work with the newcomers, whose narrative is in stark contrast with mainstream Danish politicians. Among other things, Stram Kurs advocates banning Islam in Denmark, expelling refugees and cancelling Danish citizenship for non-Western immigrants.

    o far, only the right-wing Danish People’s Party (DF), currently Denmark’s second-largest, has voiced its readiness to co-operate.

    “If they come up with any good ideas, then we would be happy to discuss co-operation with them. We go for the ball and not the man,” DF group chair Peter Skaarup told the newspaper Jyllands-Posten.

    By contrast, current Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, who heads the liberal-conservative Venstre party that is largely dependent on DF to form a parliamentary majority, firmly ruled out cooperating with Stram Kurs.

    “I’m not going to build a government on political dialogue or concessions to that party. It just won’t happen,” Løkke Rasmussen said.

    Venstre’s sidekicks, the Conservatives and the Liberal Alliance, have both expressed similar sentiments.

    Until as late as last month, ethno-nationalist Stram Kurs’ chances of gathering the necessary voter declarations looked slim, but the party receive extensive national and international coverage when one of Paludan’s “free speech” demonstrations, in which he attempted to burn the Quran, sparked off a riot in Copenhagen’s immigrant-heavy district of Nørrebro on 14 April.

    In a recent political debate, Paludan warned of Danes becoming a minority in their own country, should the current trends persist.

    Meanwhile, the Danish right wing may end up seriously bolstered after the general election, which must take place by 17 June at the latest. DF and Stram Kurs may be joined by the New Right, headed by Pernille Vermund. The New Right, which have polled up to 6.9 percent, are also anti-EU, anti-immigration and anti-Islam.”

  6. British terror suspect ‘who shared a flat with White Widow Samantha Lewthwaite’ is jailed for four years for possessing bomb-making materials in Kenya (dailymail, May 10, 2019)
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7011903/British-terror-suspect-jailed-four-years-possessing-bomb-making-materials-Kenya.html

    “A Kenyan court on Thursday sentenced British terror suspect Jermaine Grant to four years prison for possessing bomb-making materials, charges the accused extremist has long denied.

    Grant, who is accused by Kenyan authorities of ties to East Africa militant group Al-Shabaab, is already serving a separate nine-year sentence on forgery charges.

    The Muslim convert was arrested in Mombasa in December 2011 by police who allegedly found chemicals, batteries and switches in his possession.

    Police said Grant was planning a bombing campaign against hotels popular with foreign tourists.

    He denied the charges but was found guilty on April 24 by Chief Magistrate Evans Makori, who said there was sufficient evidence that Grant was in possession of the explosive materials.

    Grant was sentenced in December 2015 to nine years in jail on separate charges related to forgery.

    He had earlier plead guilty to being in the country illegally and lying about his nationality.

    Prosecutors in Kenya had accused Grant of working with fellow Briton Samantha Lewthwaite, dubbed the ‘White Widow’ by the British tabloid press.

    Lewthwaite is the widow of Germaine Lindsay, one of four radical Islamist suicide bombers who attacked the London transport network on July 7, 2005, killing 52 people…”

  7. ‘Allahu Akbar’: French Church Vandalised Twice in Two Weeks (breitbart, May 10, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/05/10/french-church-attacked-twice-only-ten-days/

    “Attacks against Christian places of worship continue to occur in France with a church in the commune of Manduel having been vandalised twice in just ten days and another in Toulouse being vandalised with the words “Allah u Ackbar” written on its door.

    The attacks in Manduel occurred at the church of Saint-Genest, with the latest incident occurring earlier this week, according to a report from French newspaper Midi Libre. The newspaper reports that the paschal candles and those dedicated to the Virgin Mary were both set on fire and the power supply to the church’s main organ was also damaged.

    Police who arrived on the scene on the day after the vandalism say they also found the remains of food and drink, likely that were consumed by the attackers, and confirmed they have launched a full investigation into the desecration.

    Another church attack occurred in the city of Toulouse at the Notre-Dame du Taur, a church famous for the claim of having been built on a site linked to the patron saint of the city, Saint Saturnin.

    According to the group Protège ton église (Protect Your Church), who posted news of the attack on their Facebook page, they noticed one of the doors of the church had been vandalised with the words “Allah u Ackbar.”

    “This desecration is reminiscent of the place of Islamism in the acts of Christianophobes and the danger that this phenomenon represents for our churches and Christians around the world. France remembers Father Hamel murdered with this cry,” the group wrote.

    Father Jacques Hamel was murdered by radical Islamic terrorists while giving mass in July 2016 in Normandy. The attack was believed to have been a target for Islamic State, according to a note found in 2015 in the possession of suspected jihadist Sid Ahmed Ghlam.

    According to figures released earlier this year, around three French Christian sites are attacked across the country per day in President Emmanuel Macron’s France.”

    • Not all the attacks are by Muslims. Some are by feminists, Satanists, and left wing groups. According to one report I read, there are about four or five groups responsible.

  8. Illegal Migrant Causes Havoc in French Brasserie Rampage (breitbart, May 10, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/05/10/illegal-migrant-causes-havoc-in-french-brasserie-rampage/

    “A 27-year-old illegal migrant who was living on the street has been charged in a court in Toulouse after he went on a rampage at a local brasserie, causing thousands of euros worth of damage.

    The attack took place on April 30th and saw the illegal migrant enter the famous “Le Cotton Club” establishment in the late afternoon and, according to a report from French newspaper La Depeche, he began to immediately start to throw chairs and other furniture around the restaurant.

    A magistrate in the Toulouse Criminal Court described the scene while addressing the migrant saying, “Tables, chairs, thirty glasses, the main window … nothing has resisted you! It took four of the employees to control you!” One employee of the restaurant was also forced to take six days off work due to injuries suffered as a result of the migrant attacking them as well.

    In total, the 27-year-old is said to have caused 4,345 euros worth of damage during the rampage with the prosecutor in the case calling for him to be imprisoned for six to eight months, saying: “This behaviour is alarming. He insults, he threatens, for no apparent reason. There is obviously a problem of alcohol dependence.”

    In contrast, the lawyer for the migrant argued that his client was not of a sound mental state saying, “he says he hears voices! Why would someone who is undocumented put himself in such a situation?”

    Following a brief deliberation, the court sentenced the man to eight months in prison and ordered him to pay back all the damages caused to the restaurant.

    The incident comes as just the latest random migrant rampage in countries most affected by mass migration. Just this year, there have been several rampages, including in the German town of Amberg where a group of asylum seekers from Syria, Iran and Afghanistan attacked twelve people randomly, including one victim who required hospitalization.

    Earlier this month another migrant, originally from Syria, attacked and injured four German police officers after they attempted to perform a routine identification check and in Dozza prison in Bologna, Italy a migrant rampage led to two prison guards receiving severe cranial trauma.”

    • The attack took place on April 30th and saw the illegal migrant enter the famous “Le Cotton Club” establishment in the late afternoon and, according to a report from French newspaper La Depeche, he began to immediately start to throw chairs and other furniture around the restaurant.

      I’m amazed how, with all those chairs flying around, one didn’t manage to crush his fucking skull. If that first thrown chair had “accidentally” bounced off of a wall and then into his fucking head, a lot less damage might have happened.

      As usual, nobody wants to talk about the real damages. The plate glass and stemware can be replaced. What about any sense of security for the staff or regular patrons?

      There goes the neighborhood.

  9. Yemeni officials: Houthi rebels push into southern province (abcnews, May 10, 2019)
    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/yemeni-officials-houthi-rebels-push-southern-province-62958482

    “Yemeni officials say fighting continues in the country’s southern Dhale province between Iran-backed Houthi rebels and pro-government forces.

    The officials say rebel incursions into Dhale, which had been under the control of forces loyal to Yemen’s internationally recognized government, started in April, killing hundreds of fighters on both sides.

    Yemen has been embroiled in a civil war pitting the Houthis against the government of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, since March 2015.

    The officials say the Houthi rebel push into Dhale was in part aided by ongoing feuding between Hadi’s fighters and those backed by the United Arab Emirates, which is part of the Saudi-led coalition.

    The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to reporters.”

    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/attacks-pakistani-province-kill-soldiers-coalminers-62955185

    “A Pakistani local official says three soldiers and two coalminers were killed in attacks in the country’s volatile southwestern Baluchistan province.

    Kalim Ullah says the miners were killed when gunmen opened fire as they stood near the mine in the town of Hernai on Thursday. The attackers fled the scene.

    Ullah says members of the paramilitary forces were rushing to the scene when a roadside bomb exploded near their vehicle, killing three of them.

    No one claimed responsibility for the attacks. An investigation is underway.

    It’s unclear if there was another connection between the attacks.

    Quetta is the capital of Baluchistan province, which has been the scene of a low-level insurgency by separatists demanding more autonomy and a greater share in the region’s natural resources such as gas and oil.”

  13. Trump’s top intelligence and military advisers held unusual meeting at CIA on Iran, officials say
    Current and former officials said it is extremely rare for senior White House officials or Cabinet members to attend a meeting at CIA headquarters.

    WASHINGTON — In a highly unusual move, national security adviser John Bolton convened a meeting at CIA headquarters last week with the Trump administration’s top intelligence, diplomatic and military advisers to discuss Iran, according to six current U.S. officials.

    The meeting was held at 7 a.m. on Monday, April 29, and included CIA Director Gina Haspel, Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joe Dunford, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, five of the officials said.

    National security meetings are typically held in the White House Situation Room. The six current officials, as well as multiple former officials, said it is extremely rare for senior White House officials or Cabinet members to attend a meeting at CIA headquarters.

    The officials said the discussion was not about the intelligence that led to the decision in the following days to send a carrier strike group and bomber task force to the Middle East, but did not describe what the meeting covered.

  14. U.S. seizes North Korean ship suspected of violating U.N. sanctions
    The 17,000-ton freighter, called the Wise Honest, was stopped in Indonesia last year after it was found to be carrying coal.

    The U.S. has seized a North Korean freighter that was caught shipping coal in violation of U.N. sanctions, the Justice Department revealed Thursday.

    The 17,000-ton cargo ship, called the Wise Honest, was stopped in Indonesia last year after it was found to be carrying coal. The ship’s captain was charged with violating Indonesian law, and last July, the U.S. filed an action to seize the ship, according to court papers.

    Federal prosecutors said the seizure marks the first time the U.S. has taken possession of a North Korean ship for violating international sanctions.

  15. President Trump tears into former FBI Director James Comey, calls him a ‘disgrace’

    OAN Newsroom
    UPDATED 6:58 AM PT — Friday, May 10, 2019

    President Trump recently took to Twitter to bash former FBI Director James Comey. In a tweet Thursday night, the president said James Comey is “a disgrace to the FBI” and will be forever be known as “the worst director” in its history.

    He added, “he brought the FBI down,” but said the FBI will “regain greatness” because of the great people who work there.

    Donald J. Trump
    ?
    @realDonaldTrump

    James Comey is a disgrace to the FBI & will go down as the worst Director in its long and once proud history. He brought the FBI down, almost all Republicans & Democrats thought he should be FIRED, but the FBI will regain greatness because of the great men & women who work there!

    The tweet comes after Comey held a Town Hall on CNN, where he claimed there was enough evidence to prosecute the president and suggested the Department of Justice take a serious look at filing charges when the president is no longer in office.

    Comey believes the Mueller report shows substantial foundation for obstruction of justice charges, which Mueller intended for either Congress or the Justice Department to move forward on.

  16. ‘Missiles like these will start the war’: North Korea tests showcase growing capability

    SEOUL (Reuters) – North Korea’s second missile test on Thursday signals it is serious about developing new, short-range weapons that could be used early and effectively in any war with South Korea and the United States, analysts studying images of the latest launches say.

    Last week, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the first flight of a previously untested weapon – a relatively small, fast missile experts believe will be easier to hide, launch, and maneuver in flight.

    https://www.oann.com/missiles-like-these-will-start-the-war-north-korea-tests-showcase-growing-capability/

    • Xi and Kim want to play hard ball and up the stakes in the game, PT tested a missile and then seized a Korean Ship. The ship is one of the largets in the North Korean Commercial Fleet.

      Things are getting interesting but I doubt that we are on the verge of going to way in that region unless Iran makes a move in the Mideast and possibly in the US. So far Xi and Kim are testing PT to see how much Congress has weakened him, a fact that many of the Dems probably know and are ignoring.

  17. Senate Republicans should ask Donald Trump, Jr. at least one question
    By J.E. Dyer May 10, 2019

    Republicans on Capitol Hill have reacted understandably to the seemingly pointless subpoena of Donald Trump, Jr. by the GOP-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee. Typical responses have ranged from “Somebody didn’t get the memo? There was no collusion” to “Get over it. Time to move on.”

    While these reactions make perfect sense, another round of testimony from Trump, Jr. would afford a valuable opportunity to ask probing questions. I suspect we already know the answer to the top question I would suggest. But the value lies in asking it, and getting that answer, in light of everything we now know about what led to the meeting in Trump Tower on 9 June 2016.

    As a refresher, the bare facts of the meeting are that it was set up by an acquaintance of Donald Trump, Jr., the British publicist Rob Goldstone (about whose role we have never learned very much).

  18. Charities Slam Tommy Robinson’s Offer to Donate MEP Salary to Grooming Victims (sputniknews, May 10, 2019)
    https://sputniknews.com/news/201905101074890243-Tommy-Robinson-MEP-Salary/

    “As he gears up to stand for the first time as an anti-establishment MEP candidate in the upcoming May 23 European Parliamentary elections, Tommy Robinson has once again managed to evoke the scorn of his critics.

    Tommy Robinson’s offer to donate his European Parliament salary to child victims of sex grooming gangs has been slammed as “an insult to survivors of abuse” by woman’s rights groups who added that he is “no ally for the children he claims to stand up for.”

    A whole host of charities, including the End Violence Against Woman and Girls Coalition, penned an open letter which unanimously rejected the offer by the former English Defence League leader, who is standing as an MEP candidate in the North West of England.

    The open letter, which has garnered the signatures of well over 40 woman from influential organisations says, “those who have suffered sexual and physical abuse were failed by those who should have protected them. But Tommy Robinson is no ally for the children he claims to stand up for.”

    “Tommy doesn’t care about the rights of women and girls — he is exploiting the pain of survivors and their families to fuel racist hate for his own gain. He is a misogynist and has recklessly put victims at risk for his own moment of media spotlight,” they add.

    Mr Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, made the pledge to donate his hypothetical salary two weeks ago in a video posted on his Youtube channel.

    There are those however, who don’t agree with the open letter’s arguments.

    The signatories zeroed in on Mr Robinson’s alleged framing of Muslims as being the key perpetrators behind grooming gangs, saying that, “Tommy Robinson’s factually incorrect messages about ‘grooming’, and his attempt to portray himself as a champion of the cause, are an insult to survivors of abuse.”

    Yet, Mr Robinson has bitten back at the claims, reportedly saying of those woman who penned the letter that, “they need to think of the victims, not of their own politicisation of the situation, that money is to go to any victims of sexual exploitation, including Muslims.”

    “They are in no position to turn down the money, they shouldn’t be. They should be in the position to help victims and if that money helps victims, which it does, gets them off the waiting list for counselling, then they are playing with the victims, not me,” Robinson added.

    The news comes on the heels of two separate incidents this month in which Mr Robinson had milkshake thrown over him by critics while he was out campaigning in preparation for the 23 May European Parliamentary elections. Police are said to be investigating the incidents.”

    “… Senior Iranian cleric Ayatollah Yousef Tabatabai-Nejad has dismissed the US carrier group’s deployment in the Middle East, suggesting that the fleet could be easily destroyed in the event of war.

    “Their billion-dollar fleet can be destroyed with one missile,” Tabatabai-Nejad said, speaking in Isfahan on Friday, Reuters has reported, citing local media.

    “If they attempt any move, they will [face] dozens of missiles because at that time government officials won’t be in charge to act cautiously, but instead things will be in the hands of our beloved leader,” the cleric added, referring to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei….”

    “On 1 May, the Libyan Navy said that its Coast Guard has rescued 96 migrants who were trying to reach Europe illegally.

    At least 70 migrants drowned on Friday after their boat capsized and sank in Tunisian waters; in the aftermath of the incident, 16 were rescued by fishermen, according to Tunis Afrique Presse agency.

    The death toll could rise, since recovery of bodies is still ongoing, the local media noted.

    However, later in the day, the AFP news agency presented a different data, on which it stated, citing Tunisian officials, that only three migrants died following the deadly boat incident.

    This comes after last week, the Libyan Coast Guard stated that it has saved over 90 migrants who were attempting to reach Europe illegally.

    The European Union has been experiencing a large-scale migration crisis since 2015 due to the influx of hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees fleeing crises in their home countries in the Middle East and North Africa.”

    “We Muslims and Christians are called to open ourselves to others, knowing and recognizing them as brothers and sisters,” the text states. “In this way, we can tear down walls raised out of fear and ignorance and seek together to build bridges of friendship that are fundamental for the good of all humanity.”

    “We thus cultivate in our families and in our political, civil and religious institutions, a new way of life where violence is rejected, and the human person respected,” reads the message, which bears the signature of Bishop Miguel Ángel Ayuso Guixot, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue.

    Our religions invite us to “remain rooted in the values of peace; to defend the values of mutual understanding, human fraternity and harmonious coexistence; to re-establish wisdom, justice and love,” the text says, citing a joint declaration signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam Ahmed a-Tayyeb in Abu Dhabi this past February.

    That same declaration brought down heavy criticism on the pope particularly due to the assertion that the plurality and diversity of religions “are willed by God in His wisdom,” just as God wills a plurality of colors, sexes, races, and languages.

    A number of Catholic theologians raised objections to the statement, insisting that it seemed to suggest that either God actively wills error, or that all religions are equally valid paths to God. The existence of a variety of colors, races, and languages in humanity is very different from a variety of contradictory claims about God’s identity and way of acting, they said.

    In early April, Francis walked back the earlier statement, clarifying that in reality God only permits the existence of many religions without actively willing it.

    The Vatican’s Ramadan message steers clear of such theological swampland.

    “We are encouraged, therefore, to continue advancing the culture of dialogue as a means of cooperation and as a method of growing in knowledge of one another,” the message says.

    The text also reaffirms the importance of religious liberty and the right of all people to worship God in freedom.

    “In order to respect diversity, dialogue must seek to promote every person’s right to life, to physical integrity, and to fundamental freedoms, such as freedom of conscience, of thought, of expression and of religion,” it states. “This includes the freedom to live according to one’s beliefs in both the private and public spheres. In this way, Christians and Muslims – as brothers and sisters – can work together for the common good.””

          Cuckquean – (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckquean)

          A cuckquean is a wife with an adulterous husband. In modern English it generally refers to a woman whose fetish is watching, and deriving sexual pleasure from watching, a man having sex with one or several women besides his girlfriend, fiancée, wife or other long-term female sex partner. Similar prying within a family is called wittoldry.

  24. Libya rescues more than 200 Europe-bound migrants off coast (abcnews, May 10, 2019)
    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/libya-rescues-200-europe-bound-migrants-off-coast-62959400

    “Libya’s navy says it has rescued 213 Europe-bound African and Arab migrants off the Mediterranean coast.

    The navy released a statement online on Friday saying its coast guard came to the aid of two rubber boats that had sailed separately on May 8. One of the two boats was carrying 88 men, 12 women and seven children. The second boat carried the remaining 106.

    The statement says the migrants — nationals of several Arab and African countries — were handed over to Libya’s police after having received humanitarian and medical aid.

    Libya became a major conduit for African migrants and refugees fleeing to Europe after the uprising that toppled and killed Moammar Gadhafi in 2011.

    Libyan authorities have stepped up efforts to stem the flow of migrants, with European assistance.”

  25. German court convicts Iranian, 3 Afghans over mass assault (abcnews, May 10, 2019)
    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/german-court-convicts-iranian-afghans-mass-assault-62959468

    “A court in Bavaria has convicted an Iranian and three Afghan men over their drunken assault of passers-by that prompted a public outcry in Germany in December.

    The Amberg regional court on Friday sentenced the 18-year-old Iranian, whose name wasn’t released, to two years and seven months of juvenile detention.

    The three Afghan men were given suspended sentences of between six and 13 months.

    The defendants, who have all applied for asylum in Germany, can appeal the verdicts.

    Fifteen people were hurt when the men, who were intoxicated at the time, assaulted passers-by near the town’s train station.

    Bavarian governor Markus Soeder condemned the attacks and “the fact that certain far-right groups are trying to abuse this.””

    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/official-taliban-overrun-outposts-15-soldiers-killed-62959617

    “An Afghan official says the Taliban have launched an assault on two security outposts in western Badghis province, killing 15 security personnel in the latest in a series of deadly attacks targeting the country’s beleaguered security forces.

    Another 11 soldiers were hurt in the onslaught early Friday.

    Ziauddinn Akazai, a lawmaker in the province, said the Taliban overran the two outposts in Bala Murghab district.

    Defense Ministry spokesman Col. Qais Mangal confirmed the attack but refused to discuss casualties.

    The Taliban have inflicted staggering casualties on Afghanistan’s security forces in relentless attacks over the past year, even as the insurgents are talking peace with the United States. The latest round of talks ended Thursday in Doha, where the Taliban maintain a political office, with ‘some progress,” Taliban officials said.”

    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/algerians-march-12th-week-seeking-broad-political-change-62960078

    “Protesters are filling the streets of Algeria’s capital for a 12th consecutive week, and the country’s army chief is a prime target of their opposition.

    Hundreds of protesters gathered Friday at the emblematic Grande Poste, the central post office in Algiers. Some chanted for army chief Ahmed Gaid Salah to “get out.”

    Gaid Salah played a leading role in the protesters’ push for a fully democratic republic. The protests started Feb. 22 over President Abdelaziz Bouteflika’s plan to seek a fifth term.

    Bouteflika resigned last month under pressure from the protesters, and the army chief.

    Gaid Salah is now being accused of co-opting the “people’s revolution.” He supports holding a presidential election Algeria’s interim leader called for July 4.

    Many protesters see the election as a maneuver to keep the old guard in power.”

  28. McConnell rails against Mueller report politics in blistering floor speech: ‘Case closed’

    Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, in a scorching floor speech on Tuesday, accused Democrats of rooting for a “national crisis” for political gain as he appealed to lawmakers to move on from the Russia controversy now that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report is complete.

    “Case closed,” McConnell, R-Ky., declared. “Case closed.”

    Coming as Democrats clash with Attorney General Bill Barr over his handling of the report while using the findings to fuel their own investigations, McConnell suggested the political debate has shifted from the real problem of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

    BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 1,169, May 10, 2019

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Libya’s battle for Tripoli alongside ongoing mass anti-government demonstrations that toppled autocratic leaders of Algeria and Sudan demonstrate that the popular Arab protests that in 2011 forced four presidents out of office – as well as the counterrevolution it provoked – are alive and kicking.

    Protesters in Algeria and Sudan are determined to prevent a repeat of Egypt, where a UAE- and Saudi-backed military officer rolled back the achievements of a popular revolt to install a brutal dictatorship. Nor do they want to replicate the experience of Yemen, Libya, and Syria, which have suffered civil wars aggravated by interference by foreign powers.

    In Libya, Field Marshal Khalifa Belqasim Haftar, the UAE-Saudi-Egyptian-supported warlord, hopes that his assault on Tripoli, the capital and the seat of the country’s UN-recognized government, will either end the conflict militarily or at the very least significantly increase his leverage in peace talks.

      So, BEWARE of useful idiots who get hysterical, shrieking “human rights”, “genocide”, etc. False-flag atrocities, cw, moldy infant corpses.

      Watch out for fronts like the “Syrian Observatory for Human Rights” and MB-mouthpieces like WaPo, BBCeera,etc. Same crowd as pushed the White Helmets and muh-Khashoggi.

      Keep a LIST of _CongressCritters_ who rush to condemn Russia, defending this batch of hardcore jihadis and their dependents.

      McStain’s gone, but there’s Lindsey Graham and Mitt Romney. They’ll add gravitas to the Demonrats and their demented-Barbies, make things look bipartisan- kosher.

      • Watch out for fronts like the “Syrian Observatory for Human Rights” and MB-mouthpieces like WaPo, BBCeera,etc. Same crowd as pushed the White Helmets and muh-Khashoggi.

    In the predominantly Muslim country of Pakistan, less than 5% of the population is non-Muslims. Among them are Christians and Hindus.

    While some are kidnapped, others are married off to Muslim families.

  32. VOA – Russia Probe Debate Likely Won’t be Resolved Until 2020 Election

    President Donald Trump’s approval rating in the latest Gallup poll is up to 46 percent, the highest it has been in that poll since the earliest days of his presidency.

    Some Republicans say the time is right for the president to move on from the aftermath of the Russia probe, led by special counsel Robert Mueller.

    But it seems neither Trump nor his Democratic critics are in any hurry to let the issue go, as we hear from VOA National correspondent Jim Malone.

  34. Pelosi Suggests ARRESTING ‘All of the People’ in Trump Administration

    Unfortunately, Pelosi said, the jail beneath the Capitol would be overcrowded.

    In an interview with Robert Costa of The Washington Post, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) brought up the authoritarian idea of arresting all of the members of President Donald J. Trump’s administration.

    “Well, let me just say that we, do have a jail down in the basement of the Capitol,” she said. “But if we were arresting all of the people in the administration we would have overcrowded jail situation, and I’m not for that.”

    She was responding to a question by Costa about whether Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin could be held in contempt or arrested for refusing to hand over Trump’s tax returns to House Democrats, which Mnuchin claimed would violate the law since it does not serve a “legitimate legislative purpose.”

    “But I think again, getting to the committee, Richie Neal, the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, he has a path — again all of this is so low and precedent-based to do the right thing as we go forward,” Pelosi continued. “And there are several options. One of them is to go directly to court.”

    The parents said the teacher asked their son if he thought he was a girl multiple times. They say the teacher held the boy back from recess several times to watch videos and read books about being transgender. The parents say the teacher got those materials from one of her transgender friends. The parents say they had no idea these conversations were taking place in April of 2018.

    The mother says she found out when her son brought home one of the books from school.

    The parents say the teacher still works at the school. In May of 2018, the school sent out a letter. In part, it states that evidence was found that the teacher did pull the student from regular school activities, shared potentially controversial materials with the student and discussed gender identity without parents’ notification.

  40. The Mullah Panic
    Iran gauges that time’s up.
    May 10, 2019
    Michael Ledeen

    The regime in Tehran is panicking, and Israel (or was it a Revolutionary Guards defector?) seems to have told the United States that the Mullahs are preparing to take violent action against Americans in their neighborhood, prompting harsh words from National Security Advisor John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, plus real military power, in the form of a carrier group and bombers, sent to the region.

    I don’t think the Iranian regime is going to open hostilities against us. They don’t want to start a fight they would surely lose, and their current strategy is to stall, hoping Trump loses the next presidential election and is replaced by a friendlier Democrat. The problem with that approach is that the regime might not last that long. As Shoshanah Bryen surveys the domestic battlefield, she sees a lot of anti-regime action all over the country:

    https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/273722/mullah-panic-michael-ledeen

    Richard: We all know that Iran is in trouble, more trouble then China and that means they are in the real deep doo doo. With luck both will collapse about the same time and reduce the tension level around the world. Of course that will require more luck then we have had since the 2016 elections.

    • The “Islamic Republic of Iran” may fall, but the extraterritorial expansion of shitte supremacism will continue to threaten the world. They’ve been converting Sunnis all over Africa, affiliates all over Latin America.

      • The failure of our leaders to understand that we are in a religious war of survival, means that we will continue to fight the war like a game of “whack-a-mole” instead of working to stop the sources of the infection before we start whacking the moles. I am not sure what it will take to stop the current jihad but from the actions of our leaders they aren’t thinking beyond the “whack-a-mole” strategy that is slowing the Islamic conquest but not doing much else.
