Nigel Farage says Brexit is a ‘complete mess’
Turkish MP slams Armenian body’s tweet on Istanbul (aa, Jun 6, 2019)
https://www.aa.com.tr/en/politics/turkish-mp-slams-armenian-bodys-tweet-on-istanbul/1498192
“An MP from Turkey’s ruling party has condemned a tweet by an Armenian diaspora body which has called to revert Istanbul to Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire.
Markar Esayan from the Justice and Development (AK) Party said: “Istanbul will last forever.”
Esayan went on to say that it was the Turks that gave freedom of religion to Armenians in the 15th century after years of pressure from the Byzantine Empire, also known as the Eastern Roman Empire.
“Instead of Byzantine pressure, Fatih Sultan Mehmet, after conquering Istanbul, established The Armenian Patriarchate in 1461,” said Esayan.
Esayan, a former journalist who graduated from Armenian elementary and high schools in Turkey, became a member of the Turkish parliament representing his hometown Istanbul in 2015.
Armenian National Committee of America, founded in the U.S. in 1941, has been waging a smear campaign against Turkey and Turks across the U.S. and world.
The Byzantine had ruled their realm from Constantinople for more than 1,000 years.
After transforming the city into capital of the nascent Ottoman Empire, Fatih Sultan Mehmet, aka Muhammad Al-Fatih, established the Greek and Armenian Patriarchates as well as bestowed all other residents of the conquered city with civil rights and legal protection regardless of race and religion, which was a gesture unprecedented in the medieval European Christendom.
In the words of British historian George Eversley: “This great act of tolerance of Mahomet [Fatih Sultan Mehmet] was far ahead of the political ethics of the Christian powers of Europe at that time.””

Turkish Radio & Television – TRT – The War in Syria: Muslim Terrorists build up defence, anticipating attack
As diplomacy struggles to find a solution to the war in Syria, Muslim terrorists in the last rebel-held area of the northwest are preparing to defend themselves.
For the past five weeks, hundreds of jihadists have been killed by Russian jets and Syrian artillery, and the fear is the bombardment is in preparation for a full out ground assault.

The specter of far-right populism has become global. From Hindu-nationalist Narendra Modi in India, to Hungary’s anti-immigration leader Viktor Orbán, to the “Trump of the Tropics” Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, to a rising far-right movement in Europe, is this populist revolt the answer to the world’s problems? Or is it a disruptive force threatening the international order?

Border Agency Buying 2.2 Million Diapers to Help Migrants
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency is buying 2.2 million diapers to help deliver economic migrants and their young children into Americans’ worksites, schools, and neighborhoods, according to an online contract request.
The purchase implements the welcome policy set by a bipartisan panel in Congress, which in February directed the Department of Homeland Security to help the migrants — despite the impact on Americans’ wages, schools, and neighborhoods — instead of helping Americans by giving the agency the legal authority needed to block the migration.

Border Agency Buying 2.2 Million Diapers to Help Migrants
I will give this program my full support if the diapers these new ones replace are also the fullest, wettest, and ripest, which are overnight drop-shipped to every politician who voted for this taxpayer outlay, INCLUDING TRUMP.
A blanket, preemptive lading-release exonerates transporters of any and all liability or damages arising from delays in shipment that cause this cargo to sit, unattended, in overloaded trucks, left out in the hot sun for days (if necessary), just so long as they are personally signed for upon delivery.
The number of bottles and the sizes of diapers ( 2 to 6) appear to indicate that CBP expects babies 12 pounds and up arriving. https://diaper-sizes.org/
I would rather the CBP be prepared than not. The contract gives the option of cancelling the order, but not of returning un-used items.
The 20,000 item is what?
How can anyone bid on it?

Deutsche Pravda – Spain’s Islamic legacy source of controversy
Andalusia has a rich Islamic past. Its Mosque of Cordoba is world-famous.
But now that some Arab countries have donated money to restore such architectural treasures, Spain’s right-wing populists are stoking fears.

http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/313 Cordoba’s period of greatest glory began in the 8th century after the Moorish conquest, when some 300 mosques and innumerable palaces and public buildings were built to rival the splendours of Constantinople, Damascus and Baghdad.

Shechem is mentioned several times in the Bible[, give or take two dozen pivotal sequences of events]. It represents a distinctive example of traditional urban architecture in Palestine but it has suffered considerably in recent years as a result of the Israeli military incursions and destructions.

A TOOL FOR THE DEEP STATE: Mueller and Weissmann Investigated Jeff Sessions for Allegedly Making False Statements
Jeff Sessions was an accomplice to the Deep State
A new report by Real Clear Investigations reported that Attorney General Jeff Sessions was investigated by the Mueller Special Counsel and Andrew Weissmann for allegedly making false statements.
The Real Clear Investigations report reveals details on the criminal actions of the Weissmann witch hunt to destroy Donald Trump and anyone close to Donald Trump.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and AG Jeff Sessions gave the Weissmann team their stamp of approval to harass, abuse, bankrupt and jail Donald Trump associates.
And now we know Sessions was under investigation too.
This may explain his behavior as Attorney General.
Jeff Sessions was part of the coup against President Trump.

Experts Warn of Chinese Communist Party Retaliatory Actions Against US Including “Pearl Harbor” Magnitude Attack on US Economy
Just like the US in 2008, a perfect storm is building in China. The excessive and extravagant construction projects, cash-flow challenges and lack of demand in China all could combine for a major financial disaster. Trump is right – now is the time to make a deal with China.
Over the past few decades, China opened its borders and corporations around the world fled to China due to its cheap capital and meager payroll costs. As a result, China’s economy exploded. Again, from Falling Eagle, Rising Tigers –
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/06/experts-warn-of-chinese-communist-party-retaliatory-actions-against-us-including-pearl-harbor-magnitude-attack-on-us-markets/
Richard: exert from the article.
China’s financial crash may make the 2008 crash in the US look small. The implications will no doubt impact the entire world. This is why China can’t afford to mess around with President Trump and must put together a treaty as soon as possible.
The Chinese government is facing an enormous amount of pressure growing pressures including: a rapidly deteriorating economy; a food crisis brought about by corruption, disease (swine fever, bird flu, etc.), and pests (fall armyworm) and increasing social unrest across China.
The US trade war with China is compounding the current challenges.
The above exert is understating the Chinese problems and is ignoring the highly probable destruction of the Chinese Communist Party if there is a major economic collapse. And it is almost a given that there will be a major collapse of the Chinese economy,.
While China can use all of the economic war tricks in the full article there is a probability that all of them will turn around and destroy the Chinese Communist Party and their control of China. One of the reasons that they can turn around and bite China is the fact that Trump will hit back, China is use to the American Prersidents who let them take advantage of us but Trump isn’t like that. He has started fighting the Trade War that China was waging against us and the people who don’t believe in fighting back when attacked are now screaming that we are all doomed because Trump is fighting back.
As NR and I have been saying for a long time the majority of the cards (weapons) in the Trade War are in our hands all we have to do is use them and the CCP is toast.
“As NR and I have been saying for a long time the majority of the cards (weapons) in the Trade War are in our hands all we have to do is use them and the CCP is toast.”
Thank you, Richard. Like you’ve always said (and I’ve always agreed): The Chicoms need us a lot more than we need them.
Now, exactly how are over ONE BILLION marginally surviving Asians going to forcibly extort the property of over three hundred million trans-Pacifically removed Americans WHEN THE USA HAS MORE OPERATIONAL NUCLEAR WEAPONS—AND PLATFORMS TO DELIVER THEM—THAN ALL OF THE OTHER NATIONS COMBINED?!!
With Trump at the helm? NEVER! With anybody else warming the presidential chair? Don’t bet on it.
Experts Warn of Chinese Communist Party Retaliatory Actions Against US Including “Pearl Harbor” Magnitude Attack on US Economy
Please. Oh, please. Do a Pearl Harbor on the USA and we’ll do a Hiroshima and Nagasaki on you in return. Then your little emperors can fall on their swords and the once-astonishing, ancient Chinese culture can spend strong>the next few centuries recovering from crime-against-humanity-level Communist abortions of body, mind, and soul.
Of this much I can assure you without even finishing the article. If Maotown’s Mandarins are imbecilic enough to attempt this self-immolation (because that’s all it will be and they know it), Americans can line up to polish Trump’s boots with their nose-oil, myself included.
No other living politician could possibly face down and arm-twist the Red Chinese, and then face them in military war with CRUSHING counter-force.
NONE. Not Allen West, not any semi-qualified Western military leader. This is because NONE of them understand the art of the deal—I’ve never read his book and probably never will, unless he wins a war against Red China and then I’ll read it twice—and the transition between trade and kinetic wars is a lost tradition whose mastery would elude all save Trump himself.
I’m all ears if anyone can suggest a more suitable candidate.
“While the US is moving more and more towards a welfare state, China is moving more and more towards prosperity.”
The “Rising Tigers” will be my collective stable of bitches before any Communist butt muffin tries to proclaim their moral superiority over an America that they’ve back-stabbed and cheated since before time was invented.
“Since the launch of economic reform in 1978 more people (in China) have been made materially better off in a shorter span of time than ever before in human history.”
This is the sort of Big Lie that would make Goebbels cream his boxers. Maimland China has been maimed beyond recognition. These Mandarins cocks will be buried in the shitpile they used to crow upon. It will take centuries for China to dig itself out from this rape.
I DECLARE THAT COMMUNIST CHINA WILL GO DOWN AS THE WORLD’S LARGEST SINGLE CASE OF COLLECTIVE PTSD. BAR NONE. FULL STOP.
This is one-quarter of the world’s population that has been subjected to famine, involuntary abortions and sterilizations, reeducation, abject failures during mineshaft and natural disasters, organ harvesting, hyper-corruption, universal pollution, and a general dumbing down of the entire population through brainwashing.
What could possibly go wrong?
The faster we bring this four-story outhouse to the ground, the better off all mankind will be.
This is why my parenthetic “and they know it” is so important. The turds in Beijing are so ideologically blinded (i.e., ANTI-HUMAN and ANTI-CIVILIZATIONAL) that—just like Leftists and Muslims everywhere—they would rather gut themselves taking down the greatest number of free people than countenance a win by the forces of Enlightenment age reason.
“Along comes the Trump Administration, the first administration to address China’s unfair trade advantage.
This is not just a statement of fact. IT IS A CRIMINAL INDICTMENT OF ALL ADMINISTRATIONS GOING BACK TO NIXON’S “NORMALIZATION”. Damn them all that ever thought Communist China could be co-opted with SUVs and color TVs.
Bring it on, Beijing. You will no longer exist when the smoke clears and I will buy airfare (and a lead-lined suit if necessary) to piss on your smoking grave.
Please pardon my truncation of our discussion but merely reading this mountain of bullshit is unhealthy for my stress levels. There’s also the off chance that this ridiculous Chicom propaganda might make me laugh myself to death.
GERMANY COLOGNE TRAIN STATION
Polizei hält Muslime am Kölner Bahnhof fest – Zentralrat ist empört
Der Kölner Polizei wird „rassistisches Profiling“ vorgeworfen. Der Grund: Ein Vorfall am Hauptbahnhof, bei dem Muslime festgehalten wurden. Der Zentralrat der Muslime ist empört – der Polizeipräsident verteidigt seine Kollegen.
Der Zentralrat der Muslime in Deutschland (ZMD) hat der Kölner Polizei einen „massiven Angriff“ auf Muslime im Hauptbahnhof der Domstadt vorgeworfen. Ein Vorfall vom Dienstag zeige, dass „rassistisches Profiling“ ein ernst zu nehmendes Thema bleibe und erneut auf die Tagesordnung gehöre, erklärte der ZMD am Mittwoch in Köln.
Die Kölner Polizei hatte am Dienstag mitgeteilt, sie habe zehn junge Männer im Alter von 18 bis 28 Jahren im Kölner Hauptbahnhof festgehalten, nachdem diese Zeugen zufolge kurz zuvor auf dem Bahnhofsvorplatz „Allahu Akbar“ gerufen haben sollten. Die Männer hätten lange Gewänder mit Westen getragen.
Der ZMD erklärte dazu am Mittwoch, die Muslime seien auf dem Weg zu Feierlichkeiten aus Anlass des Endes des islamischen Fastenmonats Ramadan gewesen.
Wir verurteilen das Vorgehen der Kölner Polizei und erwarten, dass Polizisten kulturell besser geschult und sensibilisiert werden und nicht in großer Aufgeregtheit auf einen wie auch immer intendierten Hinweis aus der Bevölkerung über ein angeblich ‚verdächtiges‘ Verhalten von Menschen anderen Aussehens reagieren“, betonte der ZMD-Vorsitzende Aiman Mazyek.
Ein „Mindestmaß an Wissen über religionsspezifische Dinge wie Feiertage und Traditionen“ solle auch bei der Polizei im von großer Vielfalt geprägten Köln vorhanden sein, erklärte Mazyek weiter. Er hoffe, „dass die Polizei sich bei den Betroffenen in aller Form entschuldigt hat und sich selbstkritisch manch eigenen Vorurteilen und Bildern stellt“.
Polizeipräsident weist Vorwürfe zurück
Der Kölner Polizeipräsident Uwe Jacob nahm seine Kollegen in Schutz. „Ich weise die Vorwürfe gegen meine Beamten entschieden zurück, dass ihr Handeln von Rassismus und Fremdenfeindlichkeit geprägt war“, sagte Jacob am Mittwochnachmittag. Insbesondere verwahre er sich gegen „Beleidigungen und Herabwürdigungen in den sozialen Medien“
Der Bereich um Dom und Hauptbahnhof stehe besonders im Fokus der Polizei: „Deshalb reagieren wir mit der erforderlichen Konsequenz auf Situationen, die Menschen Angst machen und den Anschein erwecken, dass erhebliche Gefahren drohen.“ Jacob fügte hinzu: „Mit dem heutigen Wissensstand bedauere ich, dass unbescholtene Bürger von diesen Maßnahmen betroffen waren und biete den ihnen ein persönliches Gespräch an. Ich werde auf diese Menschen zugehen.“
Die Kölner Ordnungshüter hatten die zehn Männer zur Dienststelle mitgenommen, wo Ermittler des Staatsschutzes sie überprüften und befragten. Wie die Deutsche-Presse-Agentur berichtet, stellte sich heraus, dass die Männer bis auf ein Messer nichts Gefährliches bei sich hatten.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings’ wife reportedly paid her for-profit organization with money from her separate charity as part of a cost-sharing arrangement — a revelation that is adding to mounting ethical questions surrounding her financial dealings.
The Daily Caller obtained documents showing that Maya Rockeymoore Cummings’ charity, the Center for Global Policy Solutions (CGPS), paid over $250,000 between 2013 and 2015 to her similarly named for-profit organization, Global Policy Solutions LLC (GPS).
CUMMINGS FIGHTS ‘BASELESS’ ALLEGATIONS AGAINST WIFE’S NON-PROFIT AGENCY
The documents outline a cost-sharing agreement by which the center shares “equipment, facilities, personnel costs and sundry other services.” But the center also pays GPS 5 percent of the center’s expenses for “managing its programs and operations.”
The Caller calculated those management fees to be over $250,000.
Rockeymoore Cummings also sits as chair of the Maryland Democratic Party, while Rep. Cummings, D-Md., is currently heading up a number of probes into President Trump’s conduct — including Trump’s tax returns. Cummings’ office did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA—A glitch in Google Maps’ navigation feature has been instructing thousands of conservative users to drive off a cliff and die, sources confirmed Wednesday.
Google apologized for the inconvenience and says it is looking into the “innocent error.”
“For unknown reasons, our Maps app is telling conservative users to drive off the nearest cliff,” said a Google rep. “It’s really strange. We’ve not seen anything like this before.”
According to Google, the tech company gathers information on everyone who uses their apps. It builds a profile and labels you based on your religion, preferences, entertainment choices, location, race, gender, and political persuasion. Then, if you’re a conservative, the Google Maps app will tell you to find a precipice or sheer rock face nearby and just barrel right off it.
At publishing time, Maps programmers had discovered a similar bug that instructed liberal users to ram into the nearest conservative driver’s vehicle and run them off the road.

“A glitch in Google Maps’ navigation feature has been instructing thousands of conservative users to drive off a cliff and die, sources confirmed Wednesday.”
All in good humor (or not): The Tech Titans™ deplatforming channels of Conservative dissent cannot help but foment violence. Full stop.
Likewise, this steaming heap of, “There is no such thing as race and all Whites are racist!”, assures one outcome more than any other imaginable, high death toll and property-loss RACE RIOTS.
I welcome any arguments to the contrary. The selective memory and enforcement that I’ve been screaming about since the 1990s absolutely guarantees that PCMC will devolve (evolve?) into national, if not, Global Cultural Genocide.
Just like Free Speech, there is no middle ground. In a world of My Little Phony and rainbow-farting, Strawberry Unicorn Schtuppcakes, this saccharine, deracinated, enforced Equality of Outcome, is a uniquely brutal form of murder-by-proxy.
When the guns come out, those who fill children’s minds with this cognitively dissonant ABUSE, and then preen about SEXUALLY MUTILATING AUTISTIC SIX-YEAR-OLDS will be marched to the wall and shot … TWICE … AFTER TORTURE. And even a hundred times that would not be enough for such naked evil.

NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio: Anti-Semitism Is Exclusively A ‘Right-Wing Movement’ (VIDEO)
During a press conference on Tuesday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke about the increase in anti-Semitic hate crimes that have taken place in New York City.
De Blasio said that anti-Semitism is exclusively a ‘right-wing movement.’
Clearly he is ignoring the blatant anti-Semitism that comes out of the mouths of Muslim Democratic Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib nearly every month.

Trump Gives Pelosi A Brand New Nickname, Says Mueller Made ‘Fool Out Of Himself’
President Trump is a master at nicknames, even better than George W. Bush (although the 43rd president nicknaming senior adviser Karl Rove “Turd Blossom” was pretty inspired).
Trump calls Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) “Pocahontas” for her false claims that’s she’s Native American. He calls Sen. Richard Blumenthal, the Connecticut Democrat who falsely claimed to have fought in the Vietnam War, “Da Nang Dick.” Jeb Bush was, of course, “Low Energy Jeb.” Then there’s “Crooked Hillary,” “Lyin’ Leakin’ James Comey,” “Jeff Flakey,” “Head Clown Chuck Schumer,” and “Mad Maxine Waters.”
On Thursday, Trump added a new one to the list for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“I call her ‘Nervous Nancy,’” Trump said to Fox News as he prepared to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion in France. “Nancy Pelosi is a disaster, OK? She’s a disaster. Let her do what she wants, you know what? I think they’re in big trouble,” Trump said.
And they indeed are. Top Democrats last week were spouting off about impeachment, especially after former special counsel Robert Mueller held a press conference and essentially said the ball was in their court. Mueller failed to find sufficient evidence to proceed against Trump and his campaign in the counsel’s probe into allegations of collusion with Russia, but opened the door for congressional action.
Trump also slapped Mueller, who he said “made such a fool out of himself” last week in remarks to the media.
“What people don’t report is the letter he had to do to straighten out his testimony because his testimony was wrong,” Trump said. “‘Nancy Pelosi doesn’t talk about it.”

Mohammed, the Dirty Democrat in Charge of ‘Cleaning Up’ San Francisco
How Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, Mohammed Nuru and other Democrats made San Fran so filthy.
June 6, 2019
Daniel Greenfield
San Francisco has the highest rents in the country. At an average of $3,690 for a one bedroom, it’s more expensive than New York City, Hong Kong, Paris and London. The median price of a single-family home is $1.6 million. The median price of a condo is $1.17 million. The cheapest home in the city is a 765-square-foot unlivable wooden shack with no bathroom built in 1906 which can be yours for only $350,000.
Despite that, the City by the Bay is drowning in its own filth. San Fran is covered in human waste.
There have been 118,352 cases of human waste on the streets of San Francisco since 2011. That’s also when Mohammed Nuru (pictured above) took over as the head of the city’s Department of Public Works.
The Nigerian immigrant who calls himself Mr. Clean has been promising to clean up San Francisco back to the Willie Brown days. Brown, the notoriously corrupt city boss, had picked Nuru as his point man, after some assistance on political campaigns, appointing him DPW deputy director in 2000.
Nuru had gotten his start with SLUG, a social justice community gardening organization. His degree was in landscape architecture and San Francisco’s problem was its unbelievably filthy streets.
But Mr. Clean was a protégé of Mayor Brown and complaints quickly rose from DPW employees about corruption, discrimination and intimidation. DPW employees complained that he filled DPW positions with his own political allies from SLUG, diverted street cleaning funds to SLUG, and used public employees to improve areas near his home. DPW people who complained about Mohammed were demoted or transferred. If you crossed Mr. Clean, the word was that he would ‘clean you out’.

When I first began this post, I thought about listing the dead tree media conglomerates that are collapsing. But it would be easier to list the healthy ones. Aside from the few big blue papers that have cashed in on the resistance many, the New York Times and the Washington Post, it’s all imploding.

Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is touting unprecedented government intrusion into America’s capitalist economy under the deceptive presidential campaign slogan she calls “economic patriotism.” She is trying to co-opt President Trump’s message to working class Americans built around economic populism, in which she condemns U.S. companies that ship jobs abroad and politicians who have negotiated bad trade agreements. However, Senator Warren’s model for fixing the problems she has identified is centralized government planning for promoting selected industrial sectors, not a free, robust marketplace unencumbered by burdensome taxes and regulations. Indeed, she wants more taxes and regulations. She referred approvingly to China’s Made in China 2025 plan, as well as plans developed by Germany and Japan, “that identify long-term goals for domestic production and put real money behind achieving them.” To achieve her goal to transform the American capitalist economy into something approaching China’s model, Senator Warren has proposed the creation of a new government department that “will be responsible for creating a National Jobs Strategy (NJS) every four years, just as countries like Germany and China produce regular strategic plans…it will establish clear goals for American jobs and American industry that will guide how the Department of Economic Development prioritizes its investments and direct its programs.”
Senator Warren is particularly intrigued with imposing the heavy hand of government on the energy sector. In her “Green Manufacturing Plan for America” she proposed creating a new National Institutes of Clean Energy and spending enormous amounts of taxpayers’ money on advancing the economy-wrecking Green New Deal. The price tag she has in mind would be “$2 trillion over the next ten years in green research, manufacturing, and exporting,” to help “achieve the ambitious targets of the Green New Deal.” Apparently, Senator Warren has forgotten about Solyndra, the solar company that went belly up after the Obama administration wasted hundreds of millions of dollars of federal dollars to keep it afloat. Obama’s misdirected green energy loan guarantee gravy train program was estimated as of November 2014 to cost taxpayers over $2.2 billion.

Mexican Meddling in Our Elections
Trump’s tariffs are necessary, but too nice for Mexico’s colonial regime.
June 6, 2019
Lloyd Billingsley
Social problems are not solved with duties or coercive measures,” and “the Statue of Liberty is not an empty symbol.”
That was Mexican president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador after President Trump, no longer willing to wait on a hostile, do-nothing Congress, announced a 5 percent tariff on all Mexican goods. The tariffs would escalate in proportion to the way Mexico helps solve the border crisis, with a 25 percent rate targeted for October 1.
AMLO, as the Mexican president is known, blasted Trump for “turning the United States, overnight, from a country of brotherly love for immigrants from around the world, to a bolted space, where there’s stigmatizing, mistreatment, abuse, persecution, and a denial of the right to justice to those who seek — with sacrifice and hard work — to live free from misery.”
This reflected the belief of “socialist messiah” AMLO that all Mexicans have a “right” to live in the United States, which has the obligation to solve Mexico’s problems forever. AMLO quickly dispatched to Washington his foreign relations boss Marcelo Ebrard, a former Mexico City mayor who has been busy proclaiming Mexico “a great neighbor” of the USA.
Before that, as Ebrard told Francisco Goldman of the New Yorker, he became “committed to direct political action” to get Hillary Clinton elected in 2016. Ebrard had previously worked with Voto Latino and other groups in California, Arizona, Florida and elsewhere. The prospect of Trump, whom Ebrard compared to Adolph Hitler, prompted the Mexican’s work for the campaign of Hillary Clinton who is on record that “one-half of undocumented workers pay federal income taxes.”

For the first time today I listened to the Alex Jones show at Infowars. I heard him ranting like a mad man about some abortion doctors. I really started to think maybe his critics were right. Then he showed that clip.
Speechless.
America Will MAKE BRITAIN GREAT AGAIN!
Richard, tip top-drawer-full-of-cash sort of find as usual. In fact, your recent selections (like some others here [nods towards Eeyore and intelligence fountainhead, Barry Webb]) have been some of the most crystalline of all.
This assessment of mine also describes more than a few of your own thoughtful analyses as well.
How would you analogize Black Pigeon’s superb breakdown of the UK’s role as the EU’s battered wife when held against an almost identical template of Taiwan and the Mainland? Out of almost every other regular at VTB, you are particularly well-qualified to map out the congruencies involved.
In the latter case, however, recent retractions of leading edge wafer-start throughput from Mainland IC fabs by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. (TSMC) tells a far less submissive tale of woe than Theresa May’s ectopically hybridized black widow cum mutant praying mantis.
Like the alcoholic, shut-in, unfulfilled and barren harpies that they act like, May and Merkel are Red diaper M&Ms in the candy dish of Van Halen’s EU green room. Anyone who doesn’t get that classic rock & roll reference will have to search on it or ask me. Go ahead, I dare you.
So, does: “Feeding the tiger with one’s own flesh” or, “Even with a really long spoon, you still need lots of space to dine with the Chinese devil elephant-in-the-room” apply? (I just made that last one up! … Could you tell?)
As in, both the EU and PRC are engorged, behemoth, blood-tick, parasites that (given a little less resistance) would prong the UK’s assets faster than a rat up a drainpipe. At least, that’s how Bazza MacKenzie put it to me.
Eastern Libyan forces attack Tripoli airport for second night (reuters, Jun 6, 2019)
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-libya-security/eastern-libyan-forces-attack-tripoli-airport-for-second-night-idUSKCN1T7301
“Eastern Libyan forces on Thursday conducted an air strike for a second night on the military section of the only functioning airport of the Libyan capital, a statement by the force said.
The Libyan National Army (LNA) force of Khalifa Haftar, which controls eastern Libya, has tried to take the capital held by the internationally recognized government in a two-month offensive but has failed to breach defenses in southern suburbs.
Civilian air traffic from Tripoli’s Mitiga airport has continued despite the war.
The LNA late on Thursday attacked the military part of the airport, targeting a “Turkish plane,” the force said in a statement. No more information was immediately available.
The LNA reported a similar strike the previous night but air traffic was not affected.
The conflict is part of chaos which has continued in Libya since the toppling of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. Haftar is allied to a parallel government in the east.
The LNA, supported by Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, accuses Turkey of backing the Tripoli government and its forces.”
Spanish Police Arrest 4 Moroccans for Stealing News Crew Equipment (moroccoworldnews, Jun 6, 2019)

“On June 5, Spanish authorities arrested 4 Moroccans for allegedly stealing television and camera equipment from the Sky News crew.
“The arrest of the four suspects took place in the morning … when the agents stopped them and checked the passengers’ luggage.” According to the Spanish newspaper, El Pais.
The four defendants allegedly stole television and camera equipment while the Sky News crew were covering the final of the Champions League between Liverpool and Tottenham last Saturday at the Wanda Metropolitan Stadium in Madrid.
“Sometimes they [suspects] even pose as journalists to go unnoticed.” Reported the newspaper.
The four Moroccans were arrested in Tarifa, a small town in the province of Cadiz. They are believed to be part of a gang that specializes in stealing expensive television equipment. The detainees are waiting to appear before the court.
“Many of this equipment cost €30,000 and 40,000”.
According to Spain’s national police, over the course of three months, two gangs mostly from Latin America were responsible for 47 cases of this type of crimes in various cities in Spain.”
Spanish Authorities Intercept Three Moroccans Crossing to Spain on a Kayak (moroccoworldnews, Jun 6, 2019)

“Three Moroccan immigrants on board a Kayak attempted to cross the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe on Tuesday, June 3.
According to the press agency El Faro de Ceuta, the maritime rescue unit, the “Salvamar Atria” arrested the three Moroccans following a tip-off. The rescue unit then handed them over to the Red Cross and the three are now awaiting their deportation back to Morocco through the border crossing point, Tarajal.
Despite the drop in the number of immigrants coming by sea, the Spanish enclaves on the northern tip of Morocco still face huge land crossings.
Most immigrants crossing by land run the risk of death from suffocation as they are most often stowed away in cars, the El Faro added…”
Moroccans 4th Most Deported Immigrants From France (moroccoworldnews, Jun 6, 2019)
https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2019/06/275223/france-deported-moroccan-immigrants-undocumented/
“A French parliamentary report on released on June 5 stated that undocumented Moroccans immigrants rank 4th of all forcefully deported nationalities in France.
The same report stated that the cost of forced deportation cost France €500 Million ($564 million), while the Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR) costs six times less. AVRR is a program aiming at controlling migrants in a humane and orderly manner.
“The number of forced deportation has never been higher in ten years. And their cost to public finances represented half a billion euros last year,” said one government official.
The average cost of forced deportation costs €13,800 ($15,540) per person. Conversely, AVRR costs €2,509 ($2830).
Immigrants who agree to the AVRR program receive €300 to €650 ($336 – $729) per person.
A quarter of them will be the beneficiaries of €2,000 to €7,500 ($2245- $8420), to go towards “reintegration assistance” according to the report.
Albania topped the list with more than 2,112 deported immigrants, followed by Romania – a member of the European Union (EU) – with 1909 deported Romanian immigrants.”
15 defectors stage hunger strike in Austria (aa, Jun 6, 2019)

“Defectors in a refugee camp in Austria’s Trol province staged a hunger strike as their asylum request was rejected by the government, state media said Thursday.
The 15 defectors which include a teenage girl have refused to take solid food for the last 48 hours. They want their citizenship application to be reviewed and not to be deported, Austria’s ORF reported.
Austria’s Interior Ministry said in a statement that all the standards are met in the refugee camp and attempts to establish a dialogue with the defectors are in process.
The refugee camp has 40 defectors and the hunger strike will not alter the rejection of citizenship application, the statement added.”

Muslim Council demands apology for Cologne police ‘racial profiling’ (DW, Jan 6, 2019)
https://www.dw.com/en/muslim-council-demands-apology-for-cologne-police-racial-profiling/a-49076528
“Cologne police have denied that brief detentions of Ramadan revelers at the city’s rail hub amounted to ‘racial profiling.’ Germany’s Central Council of Muslims says officers need coaching in cultural sensitivity.
Calls of “Allahu Akbar” [“God is great”] by young Muslims wearing long gowns and vests outside Cologne’s main rail station culminated on Wednesday in counter-accusations between city police and the Central Council of Muslims in Germany (ZMD).
Police chief Uwe Jacob denied that his officers were motivated by racism in detaining 10 young Muslim men aged between 18 and 28 inside the station on Tuesday during a one-hour intervention.
Searches done resulted in a one-handed knife being found and infringement proceedings against one person, according to multiple reports.
‘Apologies needed’
ZMD chairman Aiman Mazyek said the men were on their way to celebrations to mark the completion of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan when faced by a “massive” operation by police.
“We condemn the actions of the Cologne police and expect that police officers will be better culturally trained and sensitized and not react in great nervousness to any intended hint from the public about the alleged ‘suspicious’ behavior of people of other appearances,” said Mazyek, adding that apologies were needed.
In Cologne, a city known for its diversity, police should have a minimum of knowledge about “religion-specific things like holidays and tradition,” he added.
Denigration of police condemned
Police chief Jacob said police were focused on the plaza between the station and the cathedral and reacted to situations “that made people feel anxious and awakened the impression that serious danger loomed.”
Jacob condemned what he termed “denigration and insults” directed subsequently at his officers via social media posts.
And, he added, that on the basis of Wednesday’s level of knowledge he regretted that “blameless citizens” were caught up in Tuesday’s intervention and would offer them personal consultations.
Warning to wedding revelers
The station periphery was the scene of sexual assaults on women as Germany entered New Year in 2016 after dealing with mass “Balkan route” migrant arrivals – an incident that prompted closer policing on the plaza also adjacent to the city’s famous cathedral.
Tuesday’s police intervention coincided with a publicity campaign, complete with a specially printed flyer, urging wedding guests not to celebrate unlawfully on busy highways and roads of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) state.
NRW police said in the past two months they had turned out to 129 incidents involving wedding convoys, pyrotechnics and even handgun shots fired in celebration — all prosecutable.”
express- He’s just NOT that into you! Body language reveals Merkel worried by Trump’s D-Day SNUB
DONALD TRUMP and Angela Merkel were noticeably distant and cold towards each other at the D-Day 75th anniversary, raising fears of a huge rift between the two leaders
On the sidelines of the celebrations in Portsmouth on Wednesday, the German Chancellor and US President met for a brief talk. But immediately after entering a room in front of the world’s media, their seemingly awkward and uncomfortable behaviour towards each other was evident for all to see. Donald Trump and Angela Merkel did not even shake hands, which is an expected protocol between world leaders.
The German Chancellor appeared nervous, looking back and forth at the US President, taking a step towards him, before hesitating again.
Mr Trump initially barely acknowledged Ms Merkel in front of the cameras as they walk into the room, only looking at her briefly while still stood before both take their seats.
The meeting between the two leaders in Portsmouth had been in doubt, with the relationship between the German Chancellor and US President appearing to deteriorate over recent weeks.
White House spokesman Sarah Sanders said they discussed the situation in Libya and the worsening situation in West Africa.
They had agreed to continue their talks at the G20 summit later this month in Osaka, Japan.
Ms Merkel had visited the US last week, and although she did not meet Mr Trump, still took an astonishing swipe at his policies when speaking to graduates of Harvard University.
Despite never mentioning him by name, Ms Merkel attacked several cornerstones the Trump Presidency, including protectionism, free trade and climate change.
In a further jibe, the Chancellor called on the students to “tear down walls”, the opposite of Mr Trump’s 2016 battlecry where he promised to “build the wall” to stop immigrants crossing the border with Mexico.
The US President ended his three-day state visit to the UK by attending a D-Day commemorative service in Portsmouth.
Joining him were the Queen, while politicians including British Prime Minister Theresa May and Canadian Prime Minister jostled for position and status at the event.
But Mr Trump’s lack of reaction and emotion towards Ms Merkel was noticeable at the event.
In one picture, Mr Trump can be seen appearing to stand to attention, as other world leaders chat, with Ms Merkel peering across the line towards the US President with what looks like a concerned facial expression.
Body language expert Judi James told Express.co.uk this suggested the German Chancellor may have been worried Mr Trump was ignoring her.
She said: “On their first meeting after Trump entered the White House Trump was seen repeatedly ignoring Merkel as she verbally nudged him to shake her by the hand for the cameras.
“The way she’s leaning forward here with her head tilted to study Trump with a frown of what looks like concern suggests she might be worried he’s ignoring her again here.

Maybe, but pop body language analysis is mostly hokum. When attempted for non-Western cultures, it’s brazen hokum.
It’s always bent by the narrative engineer, pitched to a target audience to confirm bias or wishful thinking. They point to a gesture, tell you what it’s supposed to mean, then say,
“See? He’s doing it again. He’s really mad/nervous/confused, isn’t he?”
Getting you to agree to their suggestion till you’re fully engaged and committed to buy whatever they’re selling.
Noteworthy example, according to my Japanese college roommate, PTrump meeting with Shinzo Abe. She also panned the American Bombard, who “interpreted” the Trump-Kim meeting. She had already watched the Japanese version of Bombard – reversed conclusions, point after point.
EXCEPTION: seasoned professional interrogators (intelligence operatives), steeped in the subculture sometimes get it right. They train intensively, have considerable real-life experience, and draw modest conclusions from isolated video clips.
There was a great autobiography of an American military interrogator stationed in Kandahar, Afghanistan at the beginning of our war there. Steep learning curve, intense pressure to get it right. It’s an art that combines many technical skills.
ITALY REACTS! Rome to activate ‘ALTERNATIVE currency’ in move to spark Eurozone DIVORCE
ITALY has revived talk of an “alternative currency” after European Union chiefs put the country on notice over its “snowballing” debt pile.
Key members of deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini’s Lega party have floated the possibility of a new domestic currency to help pay its debts. The plans have only been emphasised after the European Commission paved the way for an initial fine of up to £3billion on Wednesday.The EU’s Brussels-based executive warned the punishments were “warranted” because Italy had met the threshold for dislplincary action.
A Commission report found that Italy’s populist government had failed to make sufficient progress in the past year to reduce its debt.
The Commission said: “Italy’s large public debt is a major vulnerability for the Italian economy and decisively reducing it should remain a priority in the best interest of Italy.
“Italy’s public debt-to-GDP ratio, at 132.2 percent in 2018, is the second-largest in the union and one of the largest in the world.”
Influential economic figures in Rome’s Senate and the lower house of Italy’s parliament have pushed a so-called parallel currency.
Claudio Borghi, a senior economic advisor for League and a critic of Italy’s Eurozone membership, has championed the concept.
Alberto Bagnai, president of the finance committee in the Senate, has also shown support for the proposal.
Mr Borghi has said the plan for so-called “mini-bot treasury notes” are written into the Lega-Five Star Movement’s coalition “contract”.
He added: “It is a way to mobilise credit that is badly needed and put money into circulation.”
This would effectively create a new currency by circulating the short-term notes on the market market, making them a de facto new lira in waiting.
The euro would eventually be squeezed out and unravel as its replaces by the new currency.
There are no official proposals for the “mini-bots” but they featured as a key pledge in Lega’s election manifesto last year and the coalition agreement also pays homage to them.
A parliament vote last week passed a motion calling on the government to consider using “mini-bots” to ease its debts to suppliers.
Riccardo Puglisi, an economist at the University of Pavia, said the proposal was “a way to facilitate the exit of Italy from the eurozone”.
Marcello Messori, director of the school of European political economy at Luiss University, told the Financial Times: “The issue of mini-BOTs is a way to facilitate the creation of a double monetary circulation.”
But the move would likely put Italy on a coalition course with the EU, as such an arrangement would be in breach of the bloc’s treaties.
Lorenzo Codogno, a former chief economist at the Italian Treasury, said: “A legal tender can only be made by law, but this would contravene the treaty on the euro.”
He added: “No one wants it to be made legal tender now. there is no uncertainty about that.
“Still, once in circulation it could become legal tender in the future.”
The Italian Treasury has already rebuked the Parliament’s new currency concept.
A spokesman said: “There is no need, and no measures of any type are being considered – certainly not the issue of small-domination state bonds – to tackle any supposed delays in payments by public administration.”

Former Arkansas state senator reportedly found shot dead inside her home
A former Arkansas state senator reportedly was found shot dead inside her home Tuesday, prompting police to launch a homicide investigation.
The body of Linda Collins-Smith, a Republican, was discovered Tuesday night at her home in Pocahontas, about 130 miles northeast of Little Rock, her former press secretary, Ken Yang, told KATV. Yang said the death is being investigated as a murder and that neighbors reported hearing gunshots a day or two before the body was found.
“I am in shock over the news of Sen. Linda Collins-Smith’s death,” Arkansas Lt. Gov. Tim Griffin tweeted. “I am heartbroken for her family & friends as they grieve, & my thoughts & prayers are with them during this tragic time.”
Collins-Smith’s remains, according to KATV, were found wrapped in a blanket.
