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. Borderless (2019) | Official Documentary
    (surprised you haven’t posted this yet)

    • Apparently Vlad tepes and GOV don’t care about this, but is a very truthful documentary

        • its about finding the time to watch, not about caring.

          As if that’s ever been in question. That you must even feel obliged to defend yourself against such a scurrilous accusation defies credulity, Eeyore.

          Like everyone else on this green Earth including my own wretched self, you may have your human flaws, but not “caring” is amongst the least deserved smears that you can be tarred with.

    • YouTube Won’t Let You Watch Lauren Southern’s ‘Borderless’

      YouTube restricted access to the documentary less than 24 hours after Lauren Southern made it available to the public.

      YouTube has removed Lauren Southern’s conservative documentary Borderless from their platform. The film was deleted less than 24 hours after Southern made it available to the public on her personal Youtube channel.

      Initially, Southern’s team encountered numerous problems in trying to publish the documentary on YouTube. As Southern explains:

      “On release day the film wouldn’t play in the back end—so we uploaded another version. This version uploaded and processed, we could watch it and we set it to premiere. Suddenly the movie began to process again and stopped in time for the premiere.”

      “So when the time set for the premiere rolled around we waited and—nothing. Thirty minutes of ‘premiere starting shortly’ we hit publish. The film went live but wouldn’t show up on the channel, nor would it show up in people’s subscription area. There were no notifications and when shared or added to lists the video would simply say ‘video deleted’. Video also has been stuck continually on 1 view and only available by searching ‘Borderless’ specifically or using the direct link.”

      In short, most of Lauren Southern’s 700,000 subscribers were not notified of the video’s release, as it didn’t appear in timelines or liked videos. It has since been completely removed from YouTube and is now unavailable to watch.

      Borderless follows Southern and her team in their investigation of European migrant crisis. The documentary features interviews with human traffickers in Morocco; and secret recordings of ostensibly illicit NGO activity in Greece, uncovering large scale operations by NGOs to facilitate mass migration into Europe.

  2. PAUL WESTON – WHY THE BRITISH POLICE BOW TO ISLAM
    video – 9 minutes 10 seconds
    Islamic “Community Assessors” are now employed by the British Police to make sure all new recruits hold the “correct” views on Islam. If they don’t, they are kicked out at the first interview stage. One such Community Assessor is called Lutfur Ali who seems to be the same Lutfur Ali once involved in funnelling embezzled money to the Islamic Forum of Europe, an extremist organisation. The London Metropolitan Police will “neither confirm nor deny” that this is the case, hence this video. It is hard to imagine that a known Islamic extremist (and fraudster) is employed by the police as a recruitment vetting officer, but it does seem to be so. Perhaps the London Metropolitan Police would like to leave a comment here telling me it isn’t true? Paul Weston

  3. A CONSTITUTION LIKE NO OTHER
    The Prime Minister’s resignation shows that Britain’s unwritten constitution, though failed repeatedly by the powers that be, has triumphed… One central part of the unwritten constitution is about the relationship between the Prime Minister and the Cabinet. Mrs May broke it when, a year ago, with the aid of an unelected civil servant, she prepared a secret plan to bind the country inexorably to and under the EU, fetter its goods economy to the EU rulebook and its trade to a quasi-Customs Union. Ministers of the crown were not formally involved and denied all normal constitutional mechanisms: to consult, discuss, take advice and reflect on the plan, and then to exercise considered cabinet responsibility. Insult was added to injury, when the cabinet ministers were locked away in Chequers, their phones confiscated and, if the papers are to be believed, they were threatened with the sack if they dared to oppose. That first flouting of the constitutional limits of executive power, on 12 July 2018, should have been the signal for collective cabinet resignation. Instead, only two members resigned, albeit the two who mattered most for Brexit. The refusal to allow considered, collective cabinet responsibility was repeated in November. Mrs May’s control of the levers of power was terminated, not by the supine Cabinet or the hesitant MPs, but by the people, voting decisively against her and her party in the local elections… That one of the greatest constitutional crises in English history has been averted is a testimony to the strength of Britain’s democracy. The constitution has proved more enduring than the exercise by the executive of authoritarian power and by a legislature that in its way colluded against the voters. Britain’s constitution, though unwritten, serves well even in times of national crisis, because it gives the people the final say. Dr Sheila Lawlor

  4. FARAGE’S FATAL FLAW 19 05 19
    There is one important area…where Farage is not an authority, and that is Islam. Robert Spencer, a considerable expert on Islam, writes: Nigel Farage… reveals his abject ignorance of Islam and the jihad threat… No politician today can afford to be in that position. The danger is too great. What “we absolutely must do”, insists Mr. Farage, is to “get the vast majority of muslims on our side against the bad guys.” No deal, Mr. Farage. Learning curve needed. Farage insists that we must not think that we are at war with the entire religion. But what, Mr. Farage, are we to think about the Muslims who consider themselves and their religion to be at war with us? Michael Copeland

  11. CANADA MOVES TO BAN CHRISTIANS FROM DEMONSTRATING IN PUBLIC UNDER NEW “ANTI-HATE” PROPOSAL
    Putting up with being offended is essential in a pluralistic society in which people differ on basic truths. If a group will not bear being offended without resorting to violence, that group will rule unopposed while everyone else lives in fear, while other groups curtail their activities to appease the violent group. This results in the violent group being able to tyrannize the others. Pamela Geller

  12. WEST-BACKED THINK TANKS THREATEN NEW UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT WITH DISTURBING LIST OF ‘RED LINES’
    Issuing their catalog of demands on Thursday, the groups claim to be “politically neutral” but “deeply concerned” about the first actions taken by the comedian-turned-politician Zelensky… A scan of the undersigned reveals that many of these “civil society groups” are anything but politically neutral. In fact, quite a few of them are partly funded by the US government, various EU governments (including the UK), the European Commission itself – and, of course, the omnipresent liberal billionaire George Soros. They now confirm that a pesky election isn’t going to stand in the way of their agenda… Zelensky was elected to office with 73 percent of the vote – and let’s not forget, he won that election having campaigned against many of the policies these ‘civil society’ groups are aggressively demanding be kept in place. He has been in office only a matter of days, and these Western-backed groups are threatening to instigate political unrest should he take any action that they don’t find acceptable to their political agenda. So who, exactly, poses the real threat to democracy? Danielle Ryan

  13. GERMANY: THE INDUSTRY’S VOTE
    BERLIN(Own report) – The Federation of German Industries (BDI), representing the main beneficiaries of the European integration has issued a call to vote in the European elections and for a commitment to a “strong and united Europe.” The EU is a “unique realm of peace, liberty, and prosperity,” writes the BDI in a joint declaration with leading French and Italian industrial associations, published yesterday. According to a recent study by the Bertelsmann Foundation, the German industry, represented by the BDI, is the EU’s biggest winner, raking in 86 billion euros per year, thanks to the common market. Already last February, the Center for European Policy (cep) pointed out that Germany is the euro’s biggest beneficiary: since its launch, the single currency has generated almost 1.9 trillion euros for the central power, while costing Italy 4.3 trillion. Whereas the BDI speaks of the EU in glowing terms, almost one quarter of the population living in the EU is threatened by poverty and social marginalization.

  14. Haftar-Led Libyan Army Advancing South, East of Tripoli – General Command (sputniknews, May 25, 2019)
    https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201905251075326177-haftar-libyan-army/

    “The Libyan National Army (LNA) led by Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar has advanced to the south and east of Tripoli, the LNA General Command press service director Khalifa Obeidi said.

    “The Libyan army and its units are advancing from all the positions to the south and east of the capital of Tripoli [in the direction of the capital] with the support of the Libyan Air Force,” Obeidi said.

    Khaftar’s forces, backed by the parliament installed in the east of Libya, began their offensive to recapture the city from the forces loyal to the rival western Government of National Accord (GNA) in early April. The GNA forces responded by launching their own offensive against the LNA.

    Since then, clashes in the vicinity of Tripoli have been continuing. According to the World Health Organization, the number of people killed in the clashes exceeded 450 people while over 2,100 people sustained injuries.”

    “Yemeni activists have raised the alarm on Houthi militants, in areas under their control, unashamedly plundering assets of Yemeni expatriates who had left the country before the war.

    Rights activists said the Iran-backed militias have recently been focused on looting the property of expatriates, sending armed mobsters to extort their relatives for money.

    Gatekeepers and relatives are being asked to pay stupendous amounts of money in order to keep militants at bay and away from vandalizing, looting and destroying private properties.

    While many expatriates have refrained from returning to their hometowns, which are now overrun by Houthi militants, they have voiced deep anxieties towards the safety of not only their property but also relatives….”

  17. Turkey expects respect over E. Mediterranean rights (aa, May 25, 2019)
    https://www.aa.com.tr/en/politics/turkey-expects-respect-over-e-mediterranean-rights/1488904

    “Turkey expects not to face provocative acts and irresponsible statements on Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean, the country’s defense minister said on Saturday.

    “It is our sincere expectation that provocative acts and irresponsible statements, which do not help resolve problems in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean — are not allowed,” Hulusi Akar said during an event as part of Turkey’s largest military exercise Sea Wolf (Denizkurdu) 2019.

    “Our desire and expectation are that the rights and interests of Turkey — which has the longest coastline in the Eastern Mediterranean — and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to be respected. We expect from all the sides to respect these subjects. This is our most natural right,” Akar said.

    “Turkey, in every occasion, voices that it sides with resolution of the problems in Aegean, Eastern Mediterranean and Cyprus within the framework of good neighborly relations and international law and it exerts efforts in this direction,” Akar added.

    Turkey has consistently contested the Greek Cypriot administration’s unilateral drilling in the Eastern Mediterranean, saying Turkish Cypriots also have rights to the resources in the area.

    In 1974, following a coup aiming at Cyprus’ annexation by Greece, Ankara intervened as a guarantor power. In 1983, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus was founded.

    The decades since have seen several attempts to resolve the dispute, all ending in failure. The latest one, held with the participation of the guarantor countries — Turkey, Greece, and the U.K. — ended in 2017 in Switzerland.

    In regards to the recent talks with Greece, he said, “Inter-delegation talks have completed in Athens in the direction of the agreement we made with Greek Defense Minister Evangelos Apostolakis.”

    “I believe these talks will continue in the future period and think that they will be for the benefit of both countries,” Akar said.

    A Turkish defense delegation went to Athens for a technical meeting with Greek officials to enhance cooperation especially in confidence-building measures and code of conduct in the Aegean Sea between May 20-25.”

  18. Malta rescues more than 200 migrants in Mediterranean Sea (DW, May 25, 2019)
    https://www.dw.com/en/malta-rescues-more-than-200-migrants-in-mediterranean-sea/a-48873899

    “Migrants aboard two rubber boats have been saved in the Mediterranean Sea off Malta. Good weather has prompted a number of other vessels to cross the sea in the past two days, local authorities report.

    The Armed Forces of Malta say they have rescued more than 200 migrants in the Mediterranean Sea.

    Malta’s army reported the men, women and children were aboard two rubber dinghies that sent out a distress call late on Friday night, before being picked up on Saturday morning.

    The migrants have reportedly been taken to shore where they will be examined by doctors and given the opportunity to seek asylum. Their nationalities and the condition of those aboard the boats is not known.

    The Libyan coast guard reported on Friday that it had rescued 290 migrants from inflatable rafts off the coast, near Tripoli.”

  19. Jews Warned Not to Wear Kippahs in Some Parts of Germany Amid Anti-Semitism Rise (sputniknews, May 25, 2019)
    https://sputniknews.com/europe/201905251075331152-germany-jews-skullcaps-anti-semitism/

    “The past year has reportedly seen a further increase in anti-Semitic incidents in Germany, leaving some elements of the Jewish community concerned about expressing their faith in public.

    Felix Klein, the German government’s top official against anti-Semitism, has urged Jews not to wear kippahs in some parts of the country.

    The Funke media group cited Klein as saying that “my opinion has unfortunately changed compared with what it used to be” on the issue.

    “I cannot recommend to Jews that they wear the skullcap at all times everywhere in Germany”, he said, without elaborating on what places and times might be risky.

    His remarks come after Josef Schuster, the head of Germany’s Central Council of Jews, told the Radioeins broadcaster in April 2018 that he advises individuals “against showing themselves openly with a kippa in a big-city setting in Germany, and wear a baseball cap or something else to cover their head instead”.

    Schuster made the remarks after two men wearing Jewish skullcaps were insulted and attacked by three people in Berlin earlier that month, with one of them identified by police as a 19-year-old Syrian asylum-seeker.

    In 2018, at least 1,083 anti-Semitic incidents took place in Germany, which is 14 percent more than the previous year, according to the non-governmental research and information centre anti-Semitism in Berlin (Rias)…”

  22. 600,000 Migrants Enter Britain in One Year (breitbart, May 25, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/05/25/600000-migrants-arrive-in-uk-in-one-year/

    “More than 600,000 migrants arrived in the United Kingdom in 2018 — akin to the population of a city the size of Belfast.

    The data, released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), said that over a quarter of a million more people arrived with the intention of staying 12 months than left in 2018.

    In total over the previous 12 months, 602,000 new people migrated to Britian, while 343,000 emigrated — showing a continued strong trend towards overall net migration, totalling 258,000 people.

    The UK also granted asylum, alternative forms of leave, or resettlement to 17,304 people in the year ending March 2019 — an increase on the previous year.

    Grants of protection reached their highest number since 2003.

    The ONS report said that “Since 2016, the pattern of migration to the UK for work has been changing. Long-term immigration to the UK for work has fallen, mainly driven by the decline in EU arrivals. Despite this, 99,000 EU citizens still came to the UK long-term to work in 2018, a level similar to 2012. We are also seeing the number of skilled work visas for non-EU citizens increasing, although overall non-EU work-related immigration has remained broadly stable.”

    Alp Mehmet, vice chairman of the pressure group Migration Watch UK, said: “Overall net migration remains at more than a quarter of a million — still unacceptably high. And despite the uncertainty during 2018, nearly 75,000 more EU arrived than left, as well as 232,000 non-EU nationals.

    “The clear message in these figures for the next Prime Minister is that they must make it a priority to deliver on the government’s pledge to reduce immigration levels by a lot, in line with the public’s wishes.”…”

  23. Germany: Police Raids on Iraqi Criminal Network Span 11 Cities (breitbart, May 25, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/05/25/german-police-raid-iraqi-criminal-gang-across-11-cities/

    “Nearly a thousand police officers took part in raids across 11 German cities this week, targeting an Iraqi organised crime syndicate.

    Some 800 police officers searched 49 venues across North Rhine-Westphalia. Most of the 34 arrested suspects were of either Iraqi or Syrian origin or were German citizens with a migration background, according to a report from Austrian tabloid Kronen Zeitung.

    The group that was the focus of the raid, named Al-Salam-313, is not very well-known publicly, but has become a part of the biker gang scene in recent years. According to North Rhine-Westphalia Minister of the Interior Herbert Reul, police have become very familiar with the gang.

    Mr Reul said the raids had been planned for months in advance, labelling them “a successful strike against organised crime”.

    Al-Salam-313 is believed to be involved with drug trafficking, illegal arms smuggling, and counterfeiting, with some members being suspected of funnelling money to fund militias in their home countries and a number having been in close contact with a former bodyguard of the late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

    Foreign-background criminal gangs have become a major issue in parts of Germany including the capital of Berlin, where so-called Arab clans dominate the local organised crime scene.

    A report in 2016 claimed that the city was “lost to Arab clans”, while other reports have claimed the group has recruited new members from asylum reception centres.

    Last year it was also revealed that the Arab clans use various tactics to intimidate police investigating them, including spreading rumours of sexual liaisons with prostitutes.

    German Islamic and migration researcher Ralph Ghadban spoke out earlier this year about the growing influence of Arab clans, blaming multiculturalism and claiming the policy had led to the gangs being able to control several areas of Berlin.”

  24. France: Over 250 Convicted Islamic Terrorists Set for Prison Release by 2022 (breitbart, May 25, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/05/25/france-250-convicted-islamic-terrorists-set-prison-release-2022/

    “French justice minister Nicole Belloubet has announced details of a new national anti-terrorist office to deal with threats including 254 convicted Islamic terrorists set for release from various prisons by 2022.

    Created earlier this year, the National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT) is expected to begin its formal operations on July 1st and one of its most important operations, according to Ms Belloubet, will be the tracking of convicted Islamic terrorists who have been released from prison, Le Monde reports.

    Belloubet said that currently there are 510 individuals being held in French prisons following convictions for Islamist terrorism, but around half — 254 — will likely be released by 2022.

    Along with the 510 convicted of terrorism, Belloubet said that she believed there to be another 943 prisoners who were convicted of other offences and radicalised in prison.

    To deal with radicalisation, the minister said that the government had developed 1,500 or so cells in blocks where radicalisation could be assessed, and a further 600 cells would be developed to deradicalise extremists.

    When asked how the new PNAT would change France’s fight against terrorism, Belloubet claimed it was “a real anti-terrorist strike force” and that the organisation would be independent of the considerations of the Paris prosecutor’s office.

    “The National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office will also deal with crimes against humanity to strengthen action in this area,” she added.

    Certain French prisons have become known as hotbeds for both Islamic radicalisation and for violence from radicalised prisoners, including an incident earlier in March this year when a radicalised inmate stabbed two prison guards at a high-security prison in Conde-sur-Sarthe in Normandy.

    Some radicalised inmates have gone even further, plotting terrorist attacks upon their release. In 2017, two inmates of Fresnes prison were caught not only plotting to commit attacks but also communicating directly with members of Islamic State through mobile phones they had smuggled into the prison.”

  25. Sect of State Pompeo: Arms Sale to Middle Eastern Allies is Necessary

    OAN Newsroom
    UPDATED 7:28 AM PT — Saturday, May 25, 2019

    Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says the U.S. is putting Iran on notice by sending weapons and troops to allies in the Middle East.

    During an interview Friday, Pompeo defended the administration’s decision to bypass Congress with the multi-nation arms sale.

    He said the State Department expects tensions with Iran to remain uneasy, which is why he claims it is necessary to get the sales moving forward.

    Weapons, including bombs and ammunition, will be sold to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan for an estimated $8 billion dollars.

    Pompeo expects the first shipment to be sent out in the coming weeks.

  26. SCOTUS blocks orders requiring GOP to redraw district lines in two key swing states
    By Daily Caller News Foundation May 25, 2019

    The Supreme Court temporarily blocked two decisions Friday requiring Republican-controlled legislatures in Michigan and Ohio to produce new legislative district lines ahead of the 2020 election.

    There were no noted dissents from the Friday orders. The decision was not surprising, as the justices are currently deciding whether federal courts should even hear partisan gerrymandering disputes.

    Three-judge panels in both cases said the current district lines are unconstitutionally rigged to the benefit of Republicans. The GOP has strong majorities in the congressional delegations of Michigan and Ohio, though Democrats and Republicans run competitively in both states.

  27. NYT on a tear over doctored videos of Pelosi slurring her speech; just one problem
    By LU Staff May 24, 2019

    According to the New York Times, the Right has been hitting Speaker Nancy Pelosi below the belt of late by releasing manipulated videos of her on social media that make it seem as if she is slurring her words.

    One of the videos, which showed Ms. Pelosi speaking at a conference this week, appeared to be slowed down to make her speech sound continually garbled.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiCpSR9vRqM&feature=youtu.be
    The video has been viewed millions of times on Facebook and was amplified by the president’s personal lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, who shared the video Thursday night on Twitter. “What is wrong with Nancy Pelosi?” Mr. Giuliani said in a tweet that has since been deleted. “Her speech pattern is bizarre.”

    The videos surfaced online amid a particularly intense and public feud between Mr. Trump and Ms. Pelosi. Each questioned the other’s temperament and mental fitness in an exchange of personal insults on Thursday. …

    • ‘Sexist trash’: Hillary Clinton goes off on doctored Pelosi video

      Hillary Clinton was unhappy with doctored video of Nancy Pelosi slurring her words being shared online.

      “The president and his cronies have been running around spreading a doctored video of Nancy Pelosi,” Clinton said at a speech she gave Friday for the Harris County Democratic Party. “Now, it is sexist trash. But, it is also a sign that Trump is running scared.”

      Trump tweeted a video montage of the speaker of the House stammering in a recent press conference.

      The video was originally played by Fox Business host Lou Dobbs. A spokesperson for the show defended the clip, saying they did not slow down her words in the clip.

      “The FOX Business segment featuring clips from Speaker Pelosi’s speech today did not slow down any aspect of her address,” the spokesperson said.

      Other videos, which featured slowed videos of Pelosi to make her appear intoxicated, were also spread on social media platforms. Rudy Guiliani, the personal attorney for the president, reposted one of the slowed-down videos, saying: “Her speech pattern is bizarre.”

      He later deleted the post and issued a jumbled message demanding Pelosi apologize to Trump for saying he needs an “intervention”

    • MSNBC Host Incorrectly Claims Trump Tweeted Slowed-Down Video of Pelosi

      MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace incorrectly claimed President Donald Trump tweeted a video of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) which had been edited to slow the pace of her speech.

      During a segment on her show Deadline: White House on Friday, Wallace expressed outrage that Trump would stoop to the level of tweeting out a doctored video of Pelosi, even though her accusation was false.

      “The political war of words between President Trump and Speaker Pelosi has deteriorated to a level beneath words, comprehensible words at least. That’s why we’re going to do something different here to make sure you understand just how low the president has stooped in his efforts to smear the speaker of the House. We believe that transparency is the best disinfectant for dirty politics, so we’re going to break down what the president of the United States did to the speaker of the House when he shared a doctored video of her with his millions of Twitter followers,” Wallace said.

      Wallace then said she would not show the video Trump allegedly tweeted. In reality, videos of Pelosi that were edited to slow down her speech were not promoted by Trump, although people who aren’t in his administration did spread them across social media.

      “A slowed-down video like the one he tweeted of Nancy Pelosi has the effect of making anyone look like they’re having a tough time speaking. We decided to stop airing the Nancy Pelosi video, so I’m going to show you what I look like and sound like doctored,” Wallace continued. “Here I am yesterday.”

      An edited video of Wallace speaking slowly played. She then put up a video of Trump at a 2016 campaign rally which was similarly edited so he was speaking slowly.

      “I wanted to cover this story of what Donald Trump did. He sent out a doctored video of Nancy Pelosi, but I wanted to cover it without repeating and furthering his smear of Nancy Pelosi which had the intent of doing exactly what he did to Hillary Clinton who fell ill at an event on 9/11, I think, in New York. This is part of the sexism of Donald Trump where he makes a woman look feeble and this is part of the debasement of our politics where he irresponsibility tweets out a video of someone in a doctored video,” Wallace said.

      President Trump did not tweet out a video of Pelosi’s speech slowed down, but rather A DIFFERENT video of her stammering during a news conference. This video was edited to show various times during the news conference when she stuttered or seemed confused, but it was not doctored.

  28. the gateway pundit – EXCLUSIVE: Rumors Swirling that Fired Italian Spies Were Connected in Plot to Eliminate Trump

    Rumors are swirling that the recent firings of top Italian spies were related to Obama and a plot to set up candidate and President Trump in a Hillary email scandal.
    Earlier this month Italian Prime Minister Conte asked for the resignations of four top intelligence officials after his call with President Donald Trump.

    And now another Internet Sleuth has uncovered some shocking news related to the recent removal of these top Italian intelligence ministers from their positions as top spies in the government.

    The story begins in January 2017 when Computer World wrote about alleged crimes committed by Italian Giulio Occhionero:

    The Tuesday arrest of Giulio Occhionero and his sister, Francesca Maria, has brought to light what appears to be the biggest, and highest-profile, hacking of institutional and corporate accounts ever reported in Italy.

    The siblings have been planting the Pyramid Eye remote access Trojan on computers using a spear-phishing technique over several years, according to the arrest order.

    They attacked at least 18,000 high-profile targets, including former Prime Ministers Matteo Renzi and Mario Monti, President of European Central Bank Mario Draghi, as well as employees and heads of various ministries including Internal Affairs, Treasury, Finance and Education.

    But Giulio Occhionero claimed that he and his sister, Francesca Maria, were set up. A piece reported by Frederico Punzi, writing in The Atlantico, notes their denials and more:

    Occhionero complained to the Prosecutor of the Republic of Perugia and wrote to the U.S. Congress and the FBI. In fact, there are a number of contradictions and suspicious circumstances in the case.

    Occhionero provided the letter that he claims he sent US Congress and the FBI:

    ( link on the page )

    Occhionero claims and it’s reported that:

    Members of Italian intelligence were approached by Hillary Clinton, the Obama Administration, and the Deep State in order to frame Trump by PLANTING EVIDENCE on American servers to force Trump to step down from office.

    In other words, members of Italian intelligence found a target in Occhionero, a Republican-sympathizer who had two servers for his company, Westland Securities, located in America. One was in Washington State, and the other in West Virginia.

    The plan was for Italian Intelligence to hack into these servers, plant classified emails from Hillary’s servers inside these servers on American soil, and then alert the FBI.

    The FBI would then raid these locations, “discover” these e-mails, investigate, link these servers to Trump…

    And then force Trump to resign.

    Occhionero believes that Obama and the former leader of Italy, Matteo Renzi, worked together on this plan and he provides reports of their meetings in Italy before the 2016 election and in early 2017.

    […]

    Occhionero’s twitter account has numerous tweets related to this subject, including the fact that Robert Mueller from the Mueller report awarded one of the top spies in Italy the FBI Medal of Honor.

    […]

    The Italian spy network had a close relationship with Joseph Mifsud, the individual who set up Trump Campaign volunteer George Papadopoulos in Rome and London.

    Mifsud is well known as related to the Italian spy agencies and yet Mueller labeled Mifsud a ‘Russian’ in the Mueller report.

    It’s also suspected that former FBI Agent Bill Priestap may have identified connections with Italy which are redacted in his testimony to Congress:

    […]

    It looks like the Italians have a lot of information that may be of interest to AG Barr and his investigation into the Deep State. Numerous individuals in Italy are suspected of having knowledge of an attempt by former President Obama to utilize the Italian Intel network to set up President Trump leading to his removal from office.

    It is highly probable that former President Obama and his Deep State FBI worked with foreign countries like Italy to assist in the removal of President Trump from office. Unfortunately for Obama, his coup even with this assistance failed.

    AG Barr blasts federal judges who impose nationwide injunctions

    Attorney General William Barr blasted federal judges who have issued more than 37 nationwide injunctions during the Trump administration, more than in the entirety of the 20th century.

    In a Tuesday speech to the American Law Institute, Barr went after “improper use of nationwide injunctions against policies of all stripes” and said that the use of the injunctions to block policy gives district courts “unprecedented power.”

    “One judge can, in effect, cancel the policy with the stroke of the pen,” he said. “No official in the United States government can exercise that kind of nationwide power, with the sole exception of the President. And the Constitution subjects him to nationwide election, among other constitutional checks, as a prerequisite to wielding that power.”

  32. Heavy fighting in Libyan capital (reuters, May 25, 2019)
    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-libya-security/heavy-fighting-in-libyan-capital-idUSKCN1SV0NA

    “Heavy fighting raged in the Libyan capital on Saturday as eastern forces made a new push to advance inside the city controlled by the internationally recognized government.

    The Libya National Army (LNA) force of Khalifa Haftar, who is allied to a parallel government in the east, started an offensive to take Tripoli almost two months ago but has not breached the city’s southern defenses.

    The LNA made a new push on Saturday morning, trying to advance on a road from the former airport – located in a southern suburb – towards the center but there was no sign of progress, residents said.

    Fighting had slowed in recent weeks during the holy Muslim month of Ramadan when most people fast during the day until sunset.

    The battle for Tripoli has killed at least 510 people, forced 75,000 out of their homes, trapped thousands of migrants in detention centers, and flattened some southern suburbs. It has also forced closures of schools, split families on different sides of the front line, and brought power cuts.

    Two ambulance workers were killed and three wounded on Thursday when their ambulance cars were hit, the World Health Organization said. It did not say who was responsible.

    The United Nations has been unable to negotiate a ceasefire. France has, like other European countries, called for a ceasefire but also supported Haftar as a way to fight Islamist militants in the country.

    On Wednesday, Haftar, meeting French President Emmanuel Macron, ruled out a ceasefire and said he wanted to rid the capital of militias that had “infested” the U.N.-backed government of Premier Fayez al-Serraj, a French presidential official said.”

    Following the smear by Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL) that the Border Patrol is intentionally killing migrant children, fellow freshman Democrat leftist Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN) accused the United States of committing atrocities on the border.

    Underwood’s inflammatory statement was made during a House hearing on Wednesday and was “taken down” by a majority committee vote on strict party lines 9-7 with 10 absent Democrats enabling the GOP a rare committee vote victory.

    Omar, who came to the U.S. in 1992 as a legal asylum seeker with her family from war-torn Somalia, tweeted on Thursday about the death of a sixth Central American migrant child in US custody in the past eight months, accusing the U.S. of committing “atrocities”:

  35. Police Celebrate End of May: ‘Her Legacy One of Misery’, ‘Country Less Safe’, ‘Officers Will Shed No Tears’ (breitbart, May 25, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/05/25/police-celebrate-end-of-may-her-legacy-one-of-misery-country-less-safe-officers-will-shed-no-tears/

    “Police officers across the country are celebrating Theresa May’s resignation, having been thoroughly alienated by the Prime Minister in her previous role as Home Secretary under David Cameron.

    Theresa May presided over massive cuts to police budgets and manpower during her tenure, and made “taking on” the Police Federation which represents rank and file officers up to Chief Inspector one of her signature stances — although she seemingly enjoyed a more collegial relationship with politically correct senior officers, such as Metropolitan Police chief Cressida Dick.

    As Home Secretary, Mrs May attended Police Federation conferences and publicly berated delegates for “crying wolf” and “scaremongering” when they claimed the cuts — abetted by the left-wing Liberal Democrats, who were in a coalition government with the Tories until 2015 — would destroy neighbourhood policing and lead to the adoption of a “paramilitary style” of policing.

    These words came back to haunt her following the Manchester Arena suicide bombing in 2017, when it was revealed that a Greater Manchester Police Officer — who had been decorated as community policeman of the year by May herself — personally warned her that the course she was pursuing could enable a terror attack.

    “I have worked in inner city Manchester for 15 years,” Inspector Damian O’Reilly told the then-Home Secretary in 2015.

    “I felt passionate about what I was doing but in 2010 I had to leave. I couldn’t take it any more because the changes that have been imposed have caused community policing to collapse.

    “Intelligence has dried up. There aren’t local officers, they don’t know what’s happening. They’re all reactive, there’s no proactive policing locally. That is the reality ma’am.”

    “Neighbourhood policing is critical to dealing with terrorism. We run the risk here of letting communities down, putting officers at risk and ultimately risking national security and I would ask you to seriously consider the budget and the level of cuts over the next five years,” he urged.

    The Manchester attack was indeed followed by “paramilitary style” policing, with officer numbers bolstered by having armed, uniform soldiers patrol the streets alongside them.

    The Greater Manchester Police branch of the Police Federation was particularly scathing when news of Mrs May’s long-awaited resignation finally broke.

    Chairman Stu Berry said that there are now 21,339 fewer police officers and 15,894 fewer members of police staff than in 2010 — despite the general population exploding and violent crime climbing dramatically — and suggested that “officers will shed no tears at her departure” in a statement published on social media.

    “I feel that I cannot varnish my words following Theresa May’s decision to leave office. During her time as Home Secretary she decimated the Police Service to near breaking point and significantly reduced the service we provide to the public,” Berry said.

    “Her legacy is one of misery for thousands of people. This country a less safer place [sic] due to her ideology as serious crime statistics soar in every major town and city in this country. Our members and the Public we serve will continue to suffer the consequences of her dogma for decades to come,” he insisted.

    “The emotion that she exhibited today were tears for her own self-made demise. It is a shame that she did not have similar empathy for countless victims of crime that could have been avoided.””

  36. Kanye West to David Letterman: Trump Voters ‘Bullied’ By Liberals, ‘Treated Like Enemies of America’

    Rap megastar and fashion mogul Kanye West made it clear that liberals like to “bully” supporters of President Donald Trump after he was challenged by talk show host David Letterman on his support for the president.

    “This is like my thing with Trump—we don’t have to feel the same way, but we have the right to feel what we feel,” Kanye West said during an appearance on Letterman’s Netflix talk show My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, according to The Daily Beast.

    “So if I see a person that I admire talking about Donald Trump can think whatever he does,” Letterman says at one point. “I wonder if those thoughts, indirectly, aren’t hurting people who are already being hurt.”

    West goes on to argue that Trump supporters are “treated like enemies of America because that’s what they felt.”

    “Have you ever been beaten up in your high school for wearing the wrong hat?” the Grammy-winner contended. “Liberals bully people who are Trump supporters!”

  37. William Barr raised one case that will force the Supreme Court to confront this harsh truth

    The Supreme Court may soon have a massive decision on their hands.

    And it could change the course of Donald Trump’s Presidency.

    That’s because William Barr raised one case that will force the Supreme Court to confront this harsh truth.

    Liberal activists have used nationwide injunctions to stymie the Trump agenda.

    When President Trump issues an executive order, Democrats run to a local Obama judge who then issues a nationwide injunction blocking the policy.

    In a recent speech, Attorney General William Barr revealed that since Trump was elected President, district court judges have issued 37 nationwide injunctions.

    In all of the 20th century there were only 27 nationwide injunctions granted.
