Socialism is the soft face of Communism:
‘There is no compulsion in division’.
‘We are just like you.’
The homosexuals got into the Main Stream Parties, Media and Institutions.
“The absurdity of the claim that homosexuality is contrary to “human nature” can easily be demonstrated by pointing to the wide variety of attitudes toward same-sex desire to be found in human societies throughout history. At the opposite extreme from modern post-Christian homophobia are the attitudes and practices of ancient Greece, especially Athens.”
“But the beginning of the nineteenth century also saw the appearance of anti-capitalist thinkers who criticized the nuclear family and proposed a reorganized society in which people’s sexual potential would be unleashed. Charles Fourier devised schemes for non-monogamous “phalansteries” that would encourage all kinds of sex, including what he called “sapphic” and “pederastic” — the latter referring, on the Greek model, to relations between mature men and boys in their late adolescence, not children.The trouble with these early socialists was that they were uninterested in, even hostile to, democratic mass movements and had no strategy for abolishing capitalism other than appealing for the support of wealthy philanthropists and spreading their utopian communities.”

Germany: Cancer suffering pensioner beaten up by asylum seeker so that he went blind by shouting Allahu-Akbar — He’s now paralyzed in intensive care+++
75-year-old Detlef J. was brutally attacked on Thursday evening in Offenburg on his way home. The attacker with a residence permit, Ali M., shouted “Allahu Akbar”, reports the newspaper Junge Freiheit, which is not the first crime of the asylum seeker. According to the tabloid Bild, he hit a taxi driver in Freiburg last Wednesday.The sick Detlef J., already lying on the ground, suffers numerous blows and kicks in a bestial manner, while Ali M. yells at him with “Allahu Akbar”. The completely helpless man loses his eyesight on the left side and is not able to speak in the intensive care unit. If the asylum seeker had been taken into police custody after his attack on the taxi driver, the brutal assault on the cancer-suffering pensioner would not have taken place. One hour before the attack on the pensioner, Ali M. again became notorious. At the station in Offenburg, the Somali hammered loudly against the window of the station bar and expressed his opinion about Islam.

Quarter of Norwegians Believe Some Races Are Smarter Than Others – Survey (sputniknews, May 21, 2019)
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201905211075186560-norway-survey-races/
“A whole 25 percent of Norwegians have argued that some human races are more intelligent than others in a survey that also highlighted Norwegians’ negative attitudes toward Islam.
A pioneering report by the research foundation Fafo has highlighted Norwegians’ “stereotypical attitudes” toward race and ethnicity, troubling statisticians and anti-discrimination bureaucrats.
“This is the first survey of its kind to see the grounds of discrimination in context, and we are surprised and concerned about some of the findings. Among other things, it is sad to see that the notion of race and ethnicity gets in the way of who we recognise as Norwegian”, Mari Trommald of the Norwegian Directorate for Children, Youth and Family Affairs told the newspaper Dagbladet.
Fully 39 percent of those questioned believed that people from Somalia can never become “completely Norwegian”. Another 22 percent argued that even a person from neighbouring Sweden could never become “fully Norwegianised”. Another 16 percent argued that a “dark-skinned person” could never become fully Norwegian either.
About 25 percent of Norwegians admitted to sharing a belief that some human races are more intelligent than others. This belief was reportedly more widespread among the younger age groups.
“The concept of race is somewhat taboo and hasn’t attracted much research time. It is discouraging to see that as many as a quarter believe that we have a racial hierarchy where some are more intelligent than others. This was surprising finding, as we see it”, Trommald explained.
Furthermore, a third of those questioned responded that they feel fear while walking past a group of Muslim men on the street. Negative attitudes towards women wearing a hijab were also voiced. Some 35 percent of respondents declared themselves completely or partially in agreement with a statement that a woman who wears a hijab can’t expect to be treated in the same way as other women in Norway.
However, the list of least desirable neighbours was topped by the Roma (38 percent).
“People have different attitudes to different groups. All groups are protected by law. It’s common though to have poor attitudes to some groups. However, people believe that it is okay that these are discriminated against. We are concerned about the consequences of this”, Trommald said.
Commenting on the overall results, Trommald said that “Norwegians are quite conservative”, finding solace in the fact that most of them “do support anti-discrimination policies”. The newspaper Dagbladet went so far as to suggest that a portion of the Norwegian population was racist and believed in theories from “history’s dustbin”.
Fafo’s report aimed at revealing attitudes among Norwegians regarding equality and discrimination on the basis of gender, ethnicity, religion, lifestyles, physical handicaps, and sexual orientation. It also studied attitudes towards measures to ensure equality and weed out “hateful language” in Norway. In total, 4,443 Norwegians spanning all age groups have been questioned.
Traditionally a homogenous nation, Norway gradually opened up for immigration in the second half of the 20th century. Immigration to Norway has skyrocketed over the past decades, starting from the 1990s and peaking at almost 49,000 in 2012.
Today, Norway’s immigrant population is estimated at over 880,000 people (or close to 17 percent of the population), as opposed to only 4.3 percent in 1992. Poland, Lithuania, Somalia, Iraq, and Syria are immigrants’ most common country of origin.”
Because the differing IQ bell curves of closely-related human-groups is a fact; then the statistic “A whole 25 percent of Norwegians have argued that some human races are more intelligent than others” means the other 75% either have the brain-freeze denial of ‘The Religion of Equality,’ or via Collectivism they fear the Naughty-Step of Excommunication to ever peek.
Any instant charge of “Racism” would have same consequences as “Shirk” to a muslim, or coming-out as “Straight-White-Male” to LGBTQ+.

“In the middle decades of the nineteenth century a number of biological and social scientists believed that the genetic quality of the populations of the Western nations was deteriorating. They
thought that this was occurring because of the relaxation of natural selection, the process by which nature in each generation eliminates the unfit by reducing their fertility and by early death. Once natural selection becomes relaxed, or even ceases to operate at all, they believed, genetic deterioration would inevitably take place. They thought that this process had already begun.
Once this conclusion had been reached, some of these Victorians began to think about what could be done to counteract genetic deterioration. The person who gave most thought to this was a young cousin of Charles Darwin named Francis Galton. His solution was that natural selection should be replaced by consciously designed selection, through which human societies would control and improve their own genetic quality. For this consciously designed selection Galton (1883) proposed
the term eugenics.
In 1915 the term dysgenics was coined by Caleb Saleeby for the genetic deterioration that eugenics was designed to correct.”
(DYSGENICS: Genetic Deterioration in Modern Populations. Second Revised Edition by Richard Lynn https://archive.org/details/Dysgenics-Richard-Lynn or pdf from other sources)
“One of those who read Galton’s Hereditary Genius shortly after it was published in 1869 was Charles Darwin, and two years later Darwin discussed the problem of the relaxation of natural
selection in his second major book, The Descent of Man (1871). Here he noted that as human societies became more civilized, they showed increasing sympathy and compassion for their weaker members. He accepted that this was ethically right but pointed out that it involved a genetic cost because it entailed the survival and reproduction of those who previously would have died or not had children. Darwin summarized the problem in these words: “We civilised men do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed and the sick; we institute poor laws; and our medical men exert their utmost skills to save the life of everyone to the
last moment. Thus the weak members of civilised societies propagate their kind. No-one will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man” (Darwin, 1871, p. 501).”

UK MP Clashes With Muslim Protesters Demanding to Cancel School’s LGBTQ Course (sputniknews, May 21, 2019)
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201905211075193684-school-lgbtq-course-muslim-protest/
“… As The Sun reported, MP for Birmingham Yardley Jess Phillips confronted one of the organisers of the protests, Shakeel Afsar, claiming that parents had kept 600 children away from lessons over the equality teaching controversy. Talking to Afsar, who is spearheading the campaign despite having no children at the school in question, she insisted that his supporters could not “pick and choose” which equality they want. The woman also accused them of smearing “the reputation of a peaceful” Muslim community in the city.
The lawmaker has urged that an exclusion area be introduced “to protect the 700 children” while the local authorities are looking into ways to counter protesters using the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) to secure the pupils’ rights to attend school.
“It’s one thing for parents to ask questions about elements of a school curriculum, it’s quite another for others to pounce on the situation as an excuse to peddle hatred and misinformation”, head of the Birmingham City Council Ian Ward said to the BBC.
Police came to the site on Monday after the recent flare-up over the LGBTQ course. According to Birmingham Live, officers were earlier alerted after the supporters of the school’s stance were reportedly attacked by unknown individuals, who threw eggs at activists with pro-LGBTQ placards and banners.
?The police are said to be investigating several cases of assault and criminal damage. Additionally, a probe has been launched into the reported threats to head teacher Sarah Hewitt-Clarkson, who lambasted the mainly Muslim protests as “very loud”, “aggressive”, and “tiresome”, the BBC reported.
The protests at Anderton Park Primary, spearheaded by Shakeel Afsar, have been going on for seven weeks. According to Sky News, flyers have been spread among the local community calling people to join the campaign against “brainwashing” children that “it’s okay to be gay”.
?One of the campaigners, Abdullah Bahm has reportedly branded the unrest in Birmingham a “pilot project” for a nationwide campaign.
“This is going to go national, parents are going to complain like this and schools had better get ready for it. They either throw the programme out or parents will withdraw their children odd days to make protests like they’re doing here”, he said as cited by the British broadcaster.
Apart from Anderton Park Primary, the introduction of lessons on LGBT lifestyles has resulted in similar opposition at Birmingham’s Parkfield Community School. The Alum Rock Community Forum has been accused by some of “undermining parental rights and aggressively promoting homosexuality”.
Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education that prompted adverse reactions from parents across the UK was recently proposed by the Department for Education to “teach relationships education at primary school, relationships and sex education at secondary school, and health education at all state-funded schools”. The RSE’s new guidance, accounting for lessons on LGBT+ families and how to treat LGBT+ people, aims to come into force in September 2019.”
Denmark Wants Permanent Border Controls to Stop Immigration, Islamist Terrorism (sputniknews, May 21, 2019)
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201905211075188518-denmark-permanent-border-controls/
“Contrary to the idea of a Europe free of borders, which remains one of the European Union’s main selling points, Denmark is willing to make temporary border controls against Germany, its southern neighbour, permanent.
Immigration, terrorism, and crime have rendered the European Union’s principle of free movement inapplicable. Therefore, permanent border controls must be re-instated, the Danish government suggests.
“We must ensure that we have permanent border control. We are facing a number of challenges, such as immigration pressures, cross-border crime and terrorism. Therefore, as a nation state, we need to control our borders”, Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen told Danish Radio.
In addition to re-instating border controls for people travelling in and out of Denmark, DKK 50 million ($7.5 million) must be allocated for research and new technology.
“We need an outgoing border control, so that we have an opportunity to check criminals who commit serial crime”, Lars Løkke Rasmussen stressed.
Løkke Rasmussen also suggested that new Schengen rules are needed to bring back Denmark’s authority over its own borders. By reforming Schengen, Denmark and fellow EU states that have introduced temporary border controls no longer have to seek the EU Commission’s permission to extend the scheme.
“To put it as it is, being creative to get [the border controls] extended every time has demanded a lot of effort”, Danish Immigration Minister and Rasmussen’s party colleague Inger Støjberg said…”
Swede Complains About Death Threats Over ‘Ramadan Pork and Booze’ Joke (sputniknews, May 21, 2019)
https://sputniknews.com/viral/201905211075184065-sweden-haramadan-joke/
“Earlier in May, Fredrik jokingly proposed to mark the Muslim month of fasting by doing exactly the opposite. In stark contrast to Ramadan, “Haramadan” (derived from the Arabic word “haram” meaning taboo) involves eating pork and drinking alcohol every day.
Fredrik, a Swedish man and small-scale blogger who has made jokes about the Islamic month of Ramadan, has received an avalanche of death threats, the news outlet Samhällsnytt reported.
“Recently I’ve heard it’s Ramadan. It goes on for an entire month and involves fasting. I’ve got an idea. We shall do everything that is forbidden by the Quran. We shall eat pork every day until 4 July. We shall booze every day until 4 July and do other things that are forbidden. This feast we shall call ‘Haramadan’. Cheers!”, Fredrik wrote.
The joke went viral after being quoted by several popular accounts, and his Instagram page has gathered hundreds of hateful comments, apparently from Swedish Muslims that include personal insults against himself and his mother and even death threats. The latter are not limited to Fredrik himself, but also include his family. While some of the posts are racial in nature, others describe in detail how Fredrik, his family and relatives are to be raped and killed, according to Samhällsnytt. Following the outbreak of verbal abuse, Fredrik’s Instagram account switched into closed mode.
By his own admission, Fredrik will be more attentive in the future because of the threats.
“I don’t even dare to go out anymore. I’m afraid to be beaten up by some immigrant. More people need to know how today’s Sweden looks. You shouldn’t be harassed and threatened just because of your jokes about a celebration”, Fredrik told Samhällsnytt.
“His ma must be a real MILF, since everyone in the comment field obviously wants to have sex with her. Wicked behaviour from those allergic to bacon”, a user tweeted.
?Meanwhile, some Swedes showed their support for Fredrik and his idea of Haramadan.
?”Haramadan (or feast involving everything un-Christian) is a celebration most Swedes observe since we have rejected our own religion in favour of something very private. We want the same for our somewhat too rigorous newcomers”, another user tweeted.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting. While fasting from dawn until sunset, believers refrain from food, drink, smoking, sexual relations, and sinful behaviour that may negate the reward of fasting.
The percentage of Muslims has been rising steadily in Sweden, up from merely 500 Muslims in 1953 to over 8 percent of Sweden’s population of 10 million, according to a 2017 Pew Research report. Islam has also made a mark on Swedish society, with topics ranging from acceptance of Islamic garments to honour-related oppression becoming a fixture in the Swedish media and politics.”

Bomb-carrying drone from Yemen rebels targets Saudi airport
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Yemen’s Iranian-allied Houthi rebels said Tuesday they attacked a Saudi airport and military base with a bomb-laden drone, an assault acknowledged by the kingdom as Mideast tensions remain high between Tehran and the United States. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The attack on the Saudi city of Najran came after Iran announced it has quadrupled its uranium-enrichment production capacity a year after the U.S. withdrew from its nuclear deal with world powers, though still a level far lower than needed for atomic weapons.
Underlining the tensions, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is seeking expanded executive powers to better deal with “economic war” triggered by the Trump’s administration’s renewal and escalation of sanctions targeting the Islamic Republic, the state-run IRNA news agency reported Tuesday.

Oxford University agrees to let in disadvantaged students with lower grades (telegraph, May 20, 2019)
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/05/20/oxford-university-agrees-let-disadvantaged-students-lower-grades/
“Oxford University will offer places with lower grades to students from disadvantaged backgrounds for the first time in its 900-year history.
The radical scheme marks a “sea change” in the university’s admissions process. However, it comes amid criticism from middle-class Oxford rejects and headteachers that private school students are being “squeezed out” by the University’s current diversity drive.
From 2020, 250 state school students will receive free tuition and accommodation as part of a multi-million-pound recruitment bid for disadvantaged students.
However, 50 students in the new intake – which will include refugees and young carers – will be eligible to receive offers “made on the basis of lower contextual A-level grades, rather than the university’s standard offers”.”

Four refugees in Australia’s offshore migrant camps attempt suicide after conservative government’s re-election (telegraph, May 21, 2019)
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/05/21/four-refugees-australias-offshore-migrant-camps-attempt-suicide/
“At least four refugees in Australia’s offshore Pacific camps have attempted suicide since the conservative government’s shock re-election Saturday, according to refugees, advocates and police.
Around 800 would-be refugees who tried reach Australia have been sent to live in severe conditions on the remote islands of Nauru and Papua New Guinea’s Manus under a hardline policy from Canberra.
Many had prayed for a more lenient policy from Labor, who had been strongly tipped to win.
But an unexpected victory by Scott Morrison’s centre-right coalition has dashed hopes and set off a wave of self-harm including several hospitalisations.
“I know that many people in Australia are in shock right now and sad and upset because of the election,” prominent Kurdish author and asylum-seeker Behrouz Boochani told AFP.
“Imagine that you can compare this with people in Manus – our lives depended on the election,” he said from the island.
Boochani said nine people had attempted suicide since the national vote with despair spreading through the community.
“The situation is out of control,” he said. “I have not seen Manus like this before.”
Fellow Manus asylum-seeker Abdul Aziz Muhamat said there was inadequate medical support on the island for those self-harming amid a “scary” increase in suicide attempts.
“Many ppl are shocked & upset about the election result,” the Sudanese refugee tweeted.
“The question is what are we going to do to help the forgotten ppl… their lives (are) in danger.”
Manus Provincial Police Commander David Yapu told AFP that he was aware of at least ten suicide attempts including four over the weekend.
“It’s an issue we are faced with right now,” he said.
“Over the weekend we had an attempted arson of their rooms, and right now we have some that are refusing to eat.”
Australia’s Department of Home Affairs did not respond to a request for comment.
The opposition Labor party had said they would be open to a New Zealand offer to resettle refugees on Manus and Nauru.
The United Nations and human rights organisations have roundly condemned the conservative government’s policy.
“We have run out of vocabulary to describe the harm wrought,” the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Canberra said in December.
Over 2,000 asylum-seekers have arrived at Manus and Nauru since the offshore centres were reopened in 2012.
They have arrived from all over the world, many fleeing war or persecution from places like Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Sudan.
Activists said the election was a breaking point.
“It has been building for six years, but the weekend’s election result has precipitated a crisis that the government cannot afford to ignore,” said Ian Rintoul from the Refugee Action Coalition.
Rintoul said men fleeing violence or persecution in Sudan, Iraq and Iran had attempted to hang or set fire to themselves.
“Offshore detention is slowly strangling the life out of its victims,” he added.”
Merkel Bashes Populists, Calls for ‘Pro-Minority’ Europe of ‘Values’ Ahead of Elections (breitbart, May 21, 2019)
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/05/21/merkel-populists-enemy-europe-values/
“Populists are the “enemy” of Europe and seek to destroy the continent’s globalist “values”, Angela Merkel has warned ahead of European Parliament elections this week.
Speaking in Zagreb at the weekend, the German Chancellor urged Croatians and other voters in Europe to shun pro-sovereignty, anti-mass migration political forces at the ballot boxes this week.
Patriotism and support for a federal European superstate in which national sovereignty has been transferred to Brussels are “not opposites”, said the chancellor, insisting: “Our values mean we can be proud of our own country and at the same time work to build Europe.
“There are populist currents that in many areas disdain these values, that want to destroy our European values,” said Merkel, pointing to fundamental human rights and the protection of minorities as examples of these.
“Nationalism is the enemy of the European project, and we have to make that clear in the last days before the election,” she added, stressing that Europe is a “project of peace”, a “project of freedom” and “the project of prosperity”.
The veteran German leader appeared at the rally alongside her fellow Christian Democratic Union (CDU) politician, Manfred Weber, the lead candidate of the EU Parliament’s neoliberal, so-called centre-right grouping.
On Saturday, Weber echoed Merkel’s message as he ruled out any cooperation with populists following this week’s vote, telling Croatian media: “Right-wing populists and extremists are those who want to destroy Europe, who are not believing any more in partnership on this continent and we will fight against them.”
At the same time as Merkel addressed a basketball court in Zagreb, patriotic, pro-national sovereignty parties met for a rally in Milan, where Italian deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini hit back at Brussels-backing establishment politicians.
“There is no far-right here, there is just politics of common sense,” he told crowds at the Piazza del Duomo, proclaiming that “The extremists are those who governed Europe for 20 years in the name of precariousness and poverty.”
Describing “the Europe of nations and people of which De Gasperi, De Gaulle, and Margaret Thatcher talked about” as “one of the most beautiful dreams”, the populist League minister called out globalist figures including Merkel, French leader Emmanuel Macron, and billionaire George Soros as “traitors” working to betray this vision “in the name of finance, of multinationalism, of money and uncontrolled immigration”.”
Macron Reveals Europe’s ‘Main Enemies’ as He Warns of ‘Existential Risk’ to EU (sputniknews, May 21, 2019)
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201905211075201316-macron-reveals-europe-main-enemies/
“Ahead of the European Parliament elections, République en Marche, the party of French President Emmanuel Macron, has been overtaken by the right-wing National Rally, led by Marine Le Pen, his rival in 2017 presidential race, with 24 percent of the vote, according to French polls.
In an interview to Ouest France, President Emmanuel Macron has warned of an “existential risk” to the European Union ahead of upcoming elections for the European Parliament.
“I cannot be a spectator, but a participant in what is the most important European election since 1979, because the union is facing an existential risk. […] The French president isn’t the head of a party, but it’s normal that he be involved in these fundamental choices”, he said.
When asked to name the biggest enemy of Europe, Macron responded by saying that it is those who don’t believe in its future.
“The nationalists who want to divide it [Europe] are its main enemies. And I see for the first time that there’s a secret agreement between the nationalists and foreign interests, whose objective is to destroy Europe”, he said, referring to Steve Bannon, former White House chief strategist, who supported Marine Le Pen’s right-wing National Rally.
According to the French president, abstaining “means deciding to give a voice to those who would destroy Europe”….”
‘North African’ Male Arrested After Two Killed in Police Station Arson Attack (breitbart, May 21, 2019)
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/05/21/north-african-male-arrested-after-two-killed-in-police-station-arson-attack/
“Italy’s interior minister says an immigrant from North Africa has been arrested for an arson fire at a police station in northern Italy that killed two and injured more than a dozen.
Matteo Salvini announced the arrest on Twitter Tuesday, adding that “eliminating illegal immigration to Italy and Europe is a moral duty: Everyone home.”
The news agency ANSA reported that the fire overnight killed two people living in apartments above the ground-floor police station in Mirandola, north of Bologna, and injuring more than a dozen others, two seriously. The victims, a 74-year-old woman and her live-in caretaker, were killed in an explosion.
ANSA said the suspect broke into the police station and set the fire. A motive was not clear.”

[…]CHI E’ L’ARRESTATO: UN MINORENNE SENZA FISSA DIMORA
Non è un minorenne (contrariamente a quanto lui stesso aveva dichiarato) il magrebino, in Italia irregolarmente, i autore del rogo di Mirandola.
Il giovane, diciotto anni da poco compiuti, è stato fermato dalla pattuglia dei carabinieri di San Felice che stava correndo sul posto per prestare aiuto. Nell’arrivare a Mirandola, i carabinieri – a poche centinaia di metri dal comando della municipale – hanno notato questo giovane con in testa un cappello della polizia municipale, indossava un giubbotto antiproiettile ed era in possesso di un telefonino rubato al comando e un computer sotto braccio.
Il ragazzo era già stato segnalato in condizioni psicofisiche alterate in serata, alla stazione di San Felice, e trasportato da un’ambulanza all’ospedale di Mirandola; dove, nel corso della notte, si è tolto la flebo ed è uscito vagando per la città.
E’ quindi possibile che nel suo vagare abbia visto il comando della municipale e abbia bussato ed urlato. Poi vedendo che nessuno rispondeva, ha messo in atto il suo folle piano. Ha sfondato la porta e una volta all’interno ha appiccato il fuoco da 4 punti diversi di una delle stanze del comando. Poi è uscito portando con sè giubbotto antiproiettile, un pc, un telefonino, un cappello della municipale e anche due coppe per gare sportive.
[…]E’ VERAMENTE UN MINORENNE?
La Procura della Repubblica conferma le prime ricostruzioni emerse sui fatti di Mirandola. Quanto all’identità del giovane sono stati effettuati accertamenti per accertare la sua età. Infatti a Roma lo scorso 14 maggio venne fermato e diede generalità diverse alla polizia, affermando di essere maggiorenne algerino. Ora sostiene di essere un minore marocchino. “Si è dichiarato minorenne, ma è stato smentito dai test medici” annuncia il ministero dell’Interno. L’incendio, che ha causato la morte di due donne e l’intossicazione di 20 persone, “conferma- commenta il ministro Matteo Salvini- il fallimento dei porti aperti e dell’accoglienza ai finti minorenni. La nostra idea non cambia: porti chiusi in italia e, se vinciamo il 26 maggio, in tutta Europa”.
[…]L’accusa per il giovane è di furto aggravato, danneggiamento a seguito di incendio e morte come conseguenza di altro delitto. Aveva numerosi precedenti e nei suoi confronti era stato emesso un ordine di espulsione.

Dutch police arrest Syrian suspected of war crimes, terror (abcnews, May 21, 2019)
https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/dutch-police-arrest-syrian-suspected-war-crimes-terror-63172451
“Dutch prosecutors say police have arrested a Syrian on suspicion of war crimes and terrorism in his home country where he allegedly was a commander in the former al-Qaida affiliate the Nusra Front.
Prosecutors say in a statement that the suspect, a 47-year-old man living in the Netherlands since 2014 on a temporary asylum visa, was arrested Tuesday in the southern town of Kapelle following a tip from German police.
Law enforcement officers seized a computer, smartphone and documents during a search of the suspect’s house.
Dutch prosecutors say that German police simultaneously searched six homes of suspected members of the Nusra battalion led by the man arrested in the Netherlands.
The suspect is due to be brought before an investigating judge in The Hague on Friday.”
Egypt says security forces kill 16 militants in Sinai (abcnews, May 21, 2019)
https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/egypt-security-forces-kill-16-militants-sinai-63171781
“Egypt says its police forces have killed 16 militants in raids in the restive northern part of the Sinai Peninsula.
An Interior Ministry statement Tuesday says security forces exchanged fire with Islamic militants as they stormed insurgent hideouts in the Mediterranean coastal city of el-Arish.
No casualties were reported among the police.
The ministry says the extremists had intended to carry out militant attacks in the city. It says police found weapons, three explosive devices and an explosives belt.
Egypt has battled Islamic militants for years in the Sinai Peninsula in an insurgency that has occasionally spilled over to the mainland.
Egypt said Monday that security forces killed 12 suspected militants just hours after a roadside bomb struck a tourist bus near the Giza Pyramids outside Cairo, wounding 17.”

Russia raises alarm about Islamic extremists in Afghanistan (abcnews, May 21, 2019)
https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/russia-raises-alarm-islamic-extremists-afghanistan-63167632
“Russia’s top security chief on Tuesday raised alarm about Islamic extremists massing on Afghanistan’s northern border.
Alexander Bortnikov, chief of the main Russian intelligence agency FSB, said on a visit to Tajikistan that some 5,000 fighters of an Islamic State group affiliate have gathered in areas bordering on former Soviet states in Central Asia, saying that most of them fought alongside IS in Syria.
Bortnikov, in comments carried by Russian news agencies, called for tighter border control to prevent a spillover.
Russia has a significant presence in Central Asia including several military bases.
The IS affiliate in Afghanistan emerged in 2014 and refers to itself as the Khorasan Province, an ancient term for an area that includes parts of Afghanistan, Iran and Central Asia. It has pledged allegiance to the IS group in Iraq and Syria but consists mainly of disgruntled former Taliban and other insurgents from South and Central Asia.
Russia has been expressing concern about the IS insurgency spilling over into Central Asia for several years. But some experts say the Kremlin is exaggerating the number of extremists to justify its outreach to the Taliban. In recent years, Russia has emerged as an influential power broker in Afghanistan where it fought a disastrous war in the 1980s. Russian officials have been mediating between feuding factions, and even spoke for lifting international sanctions against the Taliban.
The Taliban has waged bitter battles against the followers of the Khorasan Province, most often in eastern Nangarhar province but also in the north of Afghanistan.”

Austria: Kurz to create ‘transition government’ staffed with experts after FPO scandal resignations
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz announced his intentions to form a technocratic “transition government” staffed with experts at a press conference alongside President Alexander Van der Bellen at the Presidential Chancellery in Vienna on Tuesday.
The decision comes in the wake of the collapse of the coalition government of Kurz’s Austrian People’s Party (OVP) and the Freedom Party of Austria (FPO), after all FPO ministers resigned yesterday when Kurz announced his intention to sack FPO Interior Minister Herbert Kickl over his role in a video scandal.
On Friday a widely circulated video was released that appeared to show then Vice-Chancellor and FPO leader Heinz-Christian Strache allegedly accepting support in the latest round of Austrian elections from a woman who claimed to be a Russian investor in exchange for public contracts in 2017. Strache subsequently resigned from both the government and his position as FPO leader, while Kurz has announced snap elections to be held in September.
On Monday Kurz will reportedly face a vote of no-confidence in his leadership and with statements from the FPO to local media indicating they will not be supporting him, his fate will likely lie in the hands of the second largest opposition party, the Social Democrats.

MEMRI – Kuwaiti Singer Dr. Monia Al-Hob: On Judgment Day, We Will All Kill Jews
Kuwaiti singer Dr. Monia Al-Hob said in a January 27, 2019 interview on Al-Rawdatain TV (Kuwait) that Muslims must not recognize Israel.
She cited a hadith that said the Muslims will fight the Jews on Judgement Day and that the trees and rocks will call to the Muslims and tell them about Jews that are hiding behind them.
Dr. Al-Hob also claimed that the Jews plant gharqad trees everywhere they go because this is the only kind of tree that will not call to the Muslims on Judgement Day.
She further said that there will be eight gates to Hell on Judgement Day, and that one of them will be a special gate for the Jews.
She emphasized that the “Zionist entity” is unacceptable, that relations with Israel must never be normalized, and that the legal punishment for doing so is hard labor and a large fine.
Al-Hob, who was born Hoda Abd Al-Rahman, is a dental surgeon. She used to present a medical show on Kuwait TV.
…and a talking Dung beetle named Jimmy will recite the Koran in seven languages…
Hard to believe we’re losing to tards. Weird combo of modern intelligence and 7th century superstition. Gharqad trees? What did the gharqad tree do to receive such distinction? Is it the only tree born without a mouth? Is it a joo tree? Why aren’t tards ripping every gharqad tree out of the ground because it’s the only tree that won’t rat out a Jew? This is a Muslim doctor? What do Muslim physicists believe? That the moon is a giant flat bread and Jerry Seinfeld is Jesus? Jeezus.
Good questions.
Awesome, imponderable.
MEMRI – Lebanese Journalist: French Politicians Adopt Islamist Rhetoric to Win Favors of Muslim Majority
Paris-based Lebanese journalist Maya Khadra said in a May 12, 2019 interview on Al-Hurra TV (U.S.) that some French politicians have begun using Islamist rhetoric in order to win favors of the Muslim majority in Parisian suburbs and have even visited Salafi mosques.
She said that there are unlicensed organizations that operate “in the shadows” and that spread the ideologies of ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood, and that Qatar has played a major role in funding Muslim Brotherhood activity in France and Europe.
She explained that the Muslim Brotherhood employs modern and progressive rhetoric and that the French government turns a blind eye to the fact that this endeavor receives foreign funding.
Khadra added that the Islamists do not recognize the borders or sovereignty of countries and that they view wherever they are as their own “state” where sharia law should be established.

‘Unprecedented’ HIV outbreak infects hundreds of young children in Pakistan (telegraph, May 21, 2019)
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/05/21/unprecedented-hiv-outbreak-infects-hundreds-young-children-pakistan/
“Hundreds of babies and toddlers have been found infected with HIV in a Pakistani city, in what may be an unprecedented outbreak of the virus where children are the worst affected.
Three-quarters of those testing positive for the virus since the outbreak was discovered a month ago in Rotadero in Sindh province are children, with nearly two-thirds aged five or under.
Unqualified ‘quack’ doctors sharing dirty needles for injections, intravenous drips and blood transfusions have been blamed for spreading the virus, which attacks the immune system and leads to AIDS.
Dr Maria Elena Filio-Borromeo, Pakistan director for the United Nations’ AIDS and HIV programme, said she had not seen anything similar in Asia.
“This one is just unprecedented. It’s such a very unique kind of profile, because those infected are children.”
The children have been infected in a country where HIV treatment remains rare for the poor, and where 6,200 people died from AIDS in 2018.
The outbreak was detected when a paediatrician in the area was concerned eight of her young patients were finding it difficult to shake off fevers and not getting better when given medicine. Testing found all eight were HIV positive and a screening programme was started in the city a month ago. Since then 18,418 people have been screened and 607 have been found positive. Of those, 381 are aged five or under. The figure is expected to rise as screening increases.
Researchers have yet to determine the exact source of the outbreak, but believe the virus has been spread by ‘quack’ doctors who specialise in injections and drips, but do not use clean needles…”

Candace Owens: Big Tech Trying to ‘Subvert a Mass Awakening’
Pundit and black conservative activist Candace Owens blasted big tech bias after Breitbart News’ exclusive story that she has been placed on a list of “hate agents” maintained by Facebook.
Yesterday, a source at Facebook exclusively spoke to Breitbart News about the “hate agents” list, which includes a number of prominent recently-banned individuals including Paul Joseph Watson, Laura Loomer, and Alex Jones.
A Facebook spokeswoman confirmed the existence of the list, but denied that Candace Owens has been investigated. The spokeswoman also emphasized that a recent seven-day ban of Owens was a mistake and has been reversed.

House Democrats Seek Brennan’s Malignant Advice on Iran
While the ex-CIA director squirms as his legal problems intensify.
May 21, 2019
Joseph Klein
Disgraced former CIA director John Brennan will be briefing House Democrats early this week on his perspective regarding the current situation in Iran. No doubt, he will use the opportunity to once again take a shot at President Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of the Obama administration’s disastrous nuclear deal with Iran and to blame the president for escalating tensions with the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. Brennan said late last week on NBC, for example, that it is the United States under the Trump administration whose drums are “beating the loudest” in any march towards war with Iran.
Last year, in one of his many deranged rants, Brennan tweeted that “Donald Trump simultaneously lied about the Iranian nuclear deal, undermined global confidence in US commitments, alienated our closest allies, strengthened Iranian hawks, & gave North Korea more reason to keep its nukes. This madness is a danger to our national security.”
House Democrats are wasting time listening to Brennan on Iran. It’s a lame attempt to bolster Brennan’s reputation as a so-called national security expert and divert attention as more damaging facts come out about his abuse of power as CIA director during and shortly after the 2016 presidential election campaign.
Starting with Brennan’s baseless complaints regarding President Trump’s confrontational stance with the Iranian regime, President Trump is merely trying to clean up the mess that Brennan’s boss Barack Obama and top members of his administration created.

Media Finally Reports That Iran is Really Causing the Famine in Yemen
May 21, 2019
Daniel Greenfield
The most successful piece of Iranian propaganda circulating in the media today is the false claim that the Saudis, not the Iranians, have caused a famine in Yemen. I remember when the fake news had just begun bouncing around social media. Then it became the official media narrative.
Saudi attacks on Iran’s Houthi terrorists had caused a famine in Yemen. Children were dying. The truth was that the Houthis were hijacking the food.
The AP conducted a report in January showing that was the case. But most of the media kept the echo chamber going.

MYANMAR – Muslim prayer sites shut down in Myanmar city Hard-line monks and nationalists force Ramadan prayers to stop in predominantly Muslim area on the outskirts of Yangon
Hard-line Buddhist monks and groups of nationalists closed down Ramadan prayer sites on the outskirts of Yangon in Myanmar.
Some 100 monks led their nationalist supporters into three Muslim quarters in south Dagon township during the nights of May 14 and 15 and demanded that three temporary prayer sites be shut down.
Under pressure, Muslim leaders closed down the prayer sites but have said the sites were allowed by the Yangon Division government.
On May 16, the police chief of Yangon Division said the Muslims could still continue their prayers while saying police would provide security. However, no prayers were held at any of the sites that night, according to Muslim sources.
There are an estimated 10,000 Muslims in the township but there are no mosques.
Kyaw Nyein, secretary of the Ulama Islamic Organization, said the nationalists were not from the township and that it was a planned act.
“It is obvious that some groups who are behind those nationalists are attempting to make a religious conflict,” Kyaw Nyein said.
On the night of May 16, prominent monk Ashin Seindita, from the Asia Light Foundation in Pyin-Oo-Lwin, along with other interfaith activists met with the township’s Muslim community.
Zaw Min Latt, a Yangon-based Muslim resident, said Seindita thanked the local community for showing fortitude for what occurred.
“The monk called for patience and to show love,” said Zaw Min Latt.
Al Haj Aye Lwin, the chief convener of a Yangon-based Islamic school, said hate speech against Muslims remains a problem despite the government trying to rein in nationalist groups.
“Our Muslims have been targeted for political gain … the main intention of such political opportunists is to hurt the civilian-led government,” Aye Lwin told ucanews.com.
Hard-line Buddhist monks from the Committee for the Protection of Race and Religion, known as Ma Ba Tha, encouraged anti-Muslim violence in 2012 which left more than 200 people dead and forced tens of thousands to flee their homes in Rakhine State. An estimated 120,000 people in the state still live in temporary camps for displaced people.
Known for its anti-Islamic rhetoric, the nationalist monk organization has renamed itself the Buddha Dhamma Philanthropy Foundation.
Muslims account for 4.3 percent of the population in the Buddhist-majority country, according to the 2014 census. They arrived in the ninth century and most are of Indian, Chinese or Pathi descent.

Deep State FBI and DOJ Brass Had Exculpatory Evidence to Absolve Trump Campaign and Withheld It from FISA Court
Rep. Matt Gaetz joined Sean Hannity on Monday night to discuss the ongoing developments in the the Obama spygate scandal.
Gaetz told Sean the “most compelling” evidence in the Trump-Russia collusion investigation will be revealed within days or weeks.
The Florida representative also revealed that the unreleased Papadopoulos transcripts will show the Trump campaign adviser denied there was any illegal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia.
This evidence was withheld from the FISA Court so they could spy on Trump.
FOX News legal expert Gregg Jarrett jumped in and accused the Obama officials of committing fraud on the FISA Court.
