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.

  1. I entered the home of a professional Christian. She asked me my thoughts on the subject and I said I had practiced the teachings of John the Baptist “repent, for the kingdom of god is near” explaining that the earth had evidence of being over 4 billion years old where reality appears when you remove pride. Repent, seek, and that the truth set you free, for forgiveness. Their first target at the time were the sick in the House of Israel. And I was a recovered child.

    She then explained to me that I was using horizontal-Christianity and not top-down Christianity. I did not have her personal relationship with Jesus-God.

    I then tip-toed around this love-fantasy. A Locked-in affection. The natural love for a man transferred to a Superman. I said I was in her home and would go no further on the subject.

    For the aggression to fuel such an attachment – was to be good. For Goodness always demands a sign of virtue. And the men and women who do this, look and act exactly the same: measured double-think. Hit the gas, and there is no immediate acceleration. Love a sinner – makes a winner.

    How then do these Churches deal with the needy-petting love of LGBTQ+ foistered upon them?

    It is not from the Old Testament…but the New. One brain suppressed and the other transfixed.

    • Gentlemen,

      Jesus gave us two freedoms. From:

      1. Fears and resentments. (Turning this into gold, is called Communism).

      2. God on your sleeves. (Turning this into gold, is called Islam).

      The evidence? Healing the sick and god is within you.

      Turning this into gold, is the idolatry of a Personality Cult.

      • What the Lord Jesus Christ gave us is the only way of salvation – by grace through faith, and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, lest any man should boast.
        “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” Acts 16:31.

        Whatever you are reading, smoking, drinking or injecting, I suggest you stop now – before it’s too late.

        • Whatever you are reading, smoking, drinking or injecting, I suggest you stop now – before it’s too late.

          Why are you trolling one of VTB’s stalwarts?

          I’ll put this to you in the politest terms possible. Should you see YOUR OWN WAY clearer to, “smoking, drinking or injecting” “Whatever” (as you so degradingly label a contributor whose authorial shoe-tops tower above you), your own WRITING, content, style, and most of all, YOUR OWN FUCKING OFFENSIVE LACK OF THE MOST BASIC MANNERS—which (routinely now) makes an ass out of you and betrays your own sanctimonious sack of claptrap pseudo-religious SHIT for the rubbish it is—DARE I SAY, MIGHT BE IM-FUCKING-PROVED BY IT.

          ONCE AGAIN (and every time you see it referred to it in the future), please go ahead and look in a mirror at that spot on your forehead where, soon enough, some righteously outraged soul is going to tattoo Matthew 7:3-5.

          It is precisely due to preening hypocrites like you that I retain my firm position as an Agnostic. Imagine that, pious little you driving me (along with how many countless others [insert eye-roll >here<]?) AWAY FROM CHRIST. Yours is classic virtue signaling and little else. [spit!]

          Soooo … that’s what I now pass off as polite.

          PS: Please consider this your ineradicable cyber tattoo. All brought to you compliments of Body Art by NorseCaddish (for only the most discerning of cads, thankyouverymuch).

        • “What the Lord Jesus Christ gave us is the only way of salvation – by grace through faith, and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, lest any man should boast.
          “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved””

          Acts 16:31.

          This statement is pure seduction. You give up your soul for nothing. No person ever boasted about when they were saved. For once the truth about yourself frees you, you only want to share the method: “Hey!!! Repent, the kingdom of Heaven is near” To all your siblings, parents, to anyone who who is lost. Your yoke is light.

          So where’s the boast in that? Apostle? Prophet? Gotta celebrate the messenger who comes with only the clothes he can wear?

          But the secret covered ego is told:
          Your boast, is in not boasting.
          The Devil’s cleverest trick is by making you believe he does not exist.
          The only way to Salvation is the grace given you by God alone for believing it.

          This stench of pride is huge. And then, following that, they are now they are open to receive instructions:

          “What would Jesus do in this situation?”
          “If you were a Christian you would…”
          “Take in these poor victims who are weak before the strong and strong before the weak. Your children will be enriched”

          Finally, on a point of decorum, NorseRaddish is spot on. Do not threaten anyone here – with your Boss ready to torture unbelievers. This is the same requirement too for muslims, Communists, Pronouns and any other Paulians: express your views rationally and logically as to why your personal slavery is best, to be in a small box, and why removing the freedom of speech of others enriches you.

      • Self-Annointed Apostle Paul: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”

        This was exactly my concern to how The Church would or could deal with:

        1. Self-Annointed Prophet Muhammad: ‘Believe in Allah and that I am the Last of The Prophets and thou shalt be saved.’

        2. Self-Annointed LGBTQ+ ‘Believe in Homosexuality as God-Given and in my identity and thou shalt be saved.’

        Circumising themselves to walk among us to saying “we are just like you.” It’s fake. Converting people to believe, while waving one hand in the air that the world will end while with the other they sucker punch you.

        Guilt, Pride and Porn are just dishes they share – flavored differently.

    • the needy-petting love of LGBTQ+

      PC, this is light years ahead in meme-worthiness compared to your prototypical “sex squirrels” trope. With far greater sympathy, you identify the core attention whoring craving behavioral pattern of the LGBTQXYZ? set.

      Please keep refining your concepts like this. It’s a sharpening of the wits pen that comes no other way than slaving over a hot keyboard, typewriter or computer, so be it.

      Stay strong and always remember:

      Illegitimi non carborundum.

      Or, for >cough< Latin purists, Noli pati a scelestis opprimi.

      From a genius of the Spirit with espiritu con vivo:

      • Holy guacamole! I hadn’t listened to the entire suite before, only just the prelude, and typically on acoustic guitar.

        Unbelievably, JSB manages to deconstruct and reintroduce the timeless opening cadence around time point – 00:11:00 (during the sarabande), as the prelude slowly emerges from its chromatic metamorpohsis.

        During the ending’s brace of Menuets, Brandenburg aficionados will hear overtones and phrasings pickpocketed from his immortal Concerto no 3 in G major, BWV 1048. After all, if anyone has a right to plagiarize Bach’s work, it’s the Old Man himself.

  3. Children’s football tournament in Solingen, Germany: Probably North African or Turk stabs father of player+++
    At a football tournament for children’s teams at the sports complex Graefrat at the street Flockertsholzer Weg the afternoon before yesterday, several parents got into a heated dispute.Around 2.15 p.m. some fathers were in such a rage that a verbal argument turned into a bodily confrontation. In the course of this, a 45-year-old man from Wuppertal allegedly slightly injured a 47-year-old Wuppertal man with a knife. An ambulance brought the injured man to a clinic, which he was able to leave shortly after outpatient treatment. Investigations into the exact circumstances of the dispute are continuing.

    This is what the police reported in a politically correct manner.

    The Turkish newspaper Hürriyet reports about this in more detail:

    Afterwards he was asked by parents of SV Heckinghausen to moderate a bit, because there were children on the field. The father in question, who had a Mediterranean appearance, was said to have attacked the parents, who intervened and insulted them. This was partly in German and partly in a language that the audience at the soccer club SV Heckinghausen, which has been a role model for integrative, multicultural football in Wuppertal for many years, did not understand. According to the speculations, the attacker was a man who could possibly have come from the “North African or South Eastern European area.This verbal confrontation became bodily because even the Heckinghausen fathers did not put up with being insulted like this for no reason. However, a rather harmless pushing became serious and the father in question pulled a knife according to the observations of coach Okan Karasu. He then immediately took the children of both teams off the pitch and led them towards the cabin so that they would not continue to witness this incident. A father of the team from Heckinghausen with Moroccan roots was attacked and slightly injured with the knife.

  4. Survey Reveals Overwhelming Left-Wing Slant Among Norwegian Press (sputniknews, Jul 2, 2019)
    https://sputniknews.com/europe/201907021076121608-norway-press-left-wing-slant/

    “Had only the Norwegian journalists’ votes mattered, the Christian, conservative and right-wing parties would have been reduced to bottom-feeders or left the parliament altogether, while left-wing fringe parties would have hoarded almost half of the vote.

    A survey of Norwegian journalists’ party sympathies has indicated a vast left-wing bias compared with the rest of the population.

    If the Norwegian press had its way, the centre-right “blue bloc”, currently in power, would stand no chance against the left-wing parties, the trade newspaper Journalisten reported.

    Even compared with a similar survey in 2018, the blue bloc went down significantly. Having lost 7.6 percent, the centre-right coalition would have to accept a bitter defeat with merely 23.3 percent of the vote. The Conservatives, the bulwark of blue bloc would have its vote halved to merely 13 percent, while the Christian Democrats and the right-wing anti-immigration Progress Party would have been reduced to bits and left the parliament altogether.

    By contrast, the left-wing parties would have seen a staggering boost. Fringe parties such as the far-left Reds and the Greens, which in the 2017 only received 1.1 and 2.8 of the vote respectively. They would have turned into a formidable power, winning 12 and 13.3 percent of the vote. At 21.1 percent, the Socialist Left Party would have become the darling of the Norwegian press, gaining five times more votes than during the last general election. Combined, the fringe parties would gather almost half of the vote, beating out the Labour Party, which has dominated the left side of the Norwegian political spectrum for decades.

    A similar picture previously emerged in Sweden, where the press was found to have an overwhelming left-wing slant and penchant for fringe parties. A previous survey indicated that 41 percent of journalists identify with the Green Party, while a further 15 percent identify with the Left Party (formerly known as the Communist Party).

    Despite only winning 4.4 percent of the general vote in 2018 and barely passing the 4 percent threshold, the Greens are supported by over 50 percent of the staff at Swedish Radio and the national broadcaster SVT.

    Despite the clear disparity between the press and the general population, both Sweden and Norway boast a high level of confidence in the media at 63 and 81 percent respectively.”

  5. UK Headmistress Suspends Two 10-Year-Olds for ‘Homophobia’ (breitbart, Jul 2, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/education/2019/07/02/uk-headmistress-suspends-two-10-year-olds-for-homophobia/

    “The headteacher of Heavers Farm Primary School in South London suspended two 10-year-old Christian students after one of them asked for permission not to participate in an LGBT lesson during “Gay Pride Month.”

    The headteacher, Susan Papas, who obliged schoolchildren to participate in a “Gay Pride” parade last year, told the two children, who are both of African descent, they are “a disappointment to the school,” Christian Concern reported Monday.

    On June 20, pupil Farrell Spence asked his teacher Alex Smith for permission not to take part in a lesson when Mr. Smith handed out LGBT material for coloring. The teacher denied the permission, insisting that the LGBT lesson was part of the curriculum.

    After class, Mr. Smith allegedly accused Farrell of using “homophobic language” and saying, “LGBT sucks and LGBT’s dumb,” which the child categorically denies.

    Farrell, a Catholic, was sitting with his classmate Kaysey Francis, a Pentecostal Christian, and told another teacher he did not “accept LGBT” because of his religion.

    The teacher reportedly asked the two children, “Do you want LGBT people to die?” “We said no,” Farrell replied, but added that if they went back to their countries, they would be punished for being gay.

    The teacher asked Farrell where he was from and the boy responded that he was of “African Jamaican” heritage, and there “everybody is Christian and Catholic, so they don’t accept LGBT.”

    Later, head teacher Papas reportedly called in the two children and shouted at them: “How dare you? You are a disappointment to the school.”

    Ms. Papas, whose daughter Attie is a lesbian and the School Manager, next put the children in separate rooms and scolded Kaysey: “How dare you say that you want to kill LGBT people?”

    Kaysey replied: “I didn’t say kill.” Ms. Papas then shouted at her and said, “Yes, you did, and don’t lie,” later sending the girl to detention from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. The head teacher later suspended both Kaysey and Farrell from school for five days.

    Heavers Farmer Primary School educates 750 pupils in a multicultural and multi-religious borough of South London. Along with the School Manager, the Assistant Headteacher Robert Askey is also openly gay.

    The mothers of the two children complained to the Principal Officer, citing school regulations that state it is unlawful to suspend a student for “a non-disciplinary reason.”

    The parents insist their children did not make homophobic comments and have accused the headteacher of failing “to eliminate discrimination based on religion or belief.” They also cited the European Convention of Human Rights, saying it requires that schools respect the manner in which parents seek to raise their children in accordance with their Christian faith.

    This is not the first run-in the school and its headteacher has faced over LGBT activism.

    In June 2018, the school organized a “Gay Pride” parade in its playground, posting rainbow flags around the school, and telling students to wear bright colors for the event.

    Ms. Papas also invited parents to watch the “Proud to be Me!” parade and join in celebrating “the rainbow of things that make them and their family special.”

    At that time, 14 Christian parents complained that Papas was “forcing a very aggressive LGBT agenda on to young children in a manner which abuses parental rights and victimises parents.”

    In response, Papas declared she was standing against homophobia: “We stand by our decision to celebrate national Pride Month by teaching British values.”

    Izoduwa Montague, the mother of one of the students and a Christian, refused to allow her four-year-old son to take part in the parade and complained to the Education Secretary that the school had embarked on “systematic proselytism of its young and vulnerable pupils.”

    Montague says she felt “bullied” after she complained that her child was “forced to take part in an event that goes against our Christian beliefs,” and later transferred her child to a Catholic school.”

  6. ‘Youths’ Shouting ‘Allah hu Akbar’ Attack French Police Station (breitbart, Jul 2, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/07/02/youths-shouting-allah-hu-akbar-attack-french-police-station/

    “A group of 15 young people in the department of Eure are said to have attacked a local police station, launching projectiles and fireworks while yelling “Allah hu Akbar”.

    The attack occurred at 2 am on Friday at the Val-de-Reuil-Louviers police station with the 15 “youths”, all wearing hoodies, firing projectiles directly at officers, French newspaper Le Figaro reports.

    According to CCTV footage viewed by the paper, two of the officers were forced to deploy riot shields to defend themselves against the attack.

    The entire incident is said to have lasted around half an hour with those besieging the station making attempts to break into the building.

    Officers deployed tear gas at the attackers and police were later backed up by members of the Anti-Crime Brigade (BAC) and the Departmental Directorate of Public Security (DDSP).

    A police report seen by the newspaper described the situation saying that the 15 youths not only shouted “Allah hu Akbar” at the officers but also insulted them as “French f*ckers” and reportedly said: “Come out were are going to burn you.” Later found at the scene were 115 projectiles of varying kinds.

    The Alliance Police Nationale, a major police union, condemned the incident, labelling it “unheard-of violence”. The union added that it was concerned over the lack of resources and staff available saying the same station had been targetted in a similar incident in July last year.

    The incident comes only months after a 34-year-old man in Bordeaux stormed a police station wearing a jihadi armband yelled death threats towards officers in the name of Allah. No officers were injured, but police were forced to deploy a taser to subdue the suspect.

    Jihadis have repeatedly targetted police officers in France, with Islamic State taking responsibility for the killing of 42-year old police commissioner Jean-Baptiste Salvaing and his wife in 2016.

    Larossi Abballa, who was behind the attack, stabbed the couple in their family home. Abballa, 25, had also been convicted for prior terror offences.”

  7. Philippines: 1st known Filipino suicide attacker identified (abcnews, Jul 2, 2019)
    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/philippines-1st-filipino-suicide-attacker-identified-64078506

    “Philippine authorities have identified as a Filipino militant one of two suicide attackers who set off bombs last week that killed five people and the bombers in a southern army camp, a Filipino general said Tuesday.

    Maj. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana told The Associated Press that the family of the 23-year-old militant, Norman Lasuca, has identified him as one of the bombers who detonated a bomb on Friday at the gate of an army encampment in Sulu province’s Indanan town. The other suicide attacker remains unidentified.

    Lasuca is the first known Filipino militant to have agreed to carry out a suicide bombing, a development that has concerned Philippine security officials. Two suicide bombings in the country’s south in recent months, also blamed on Sawadjaan, have been blamed on foreign militants by Philippine authorities.

    Sobejana said Lasuca left his family in Sulu’s Asturias district about five years ago and joined an Abu Sayyaf militant faction under the control of commander Hajan Sawadjaan.

    Sawadjaan is an Islamic State group-aligned commander and the suspected mastermind of the suicide attacks, which killed three soldiers, two villagers and the two bombers and damaged the encampment, located in an Indanan community, officials said.

    “This is really very tragic for Lasuca’s family, his mother. They saw him last five years ago and this is the first time they’re only seeing him again,” Sobejana said, adding the family has claimed the severed head of the militant and buried it.

    Poverty and a lack of education may have driven Lasuca to the Abu Sayyaf, which lures recruits with money and guns, he said…”

      The pregnant wife of one of the bombers in the Sri Lanka terror attacks detonated a suicide vest, killing herself, her children and three police officers during a raid, it has emerged.

      The woman was married to one of two wealthy spice merchant brothers from a prominent family, Sri Lanka’s deputy defence minister Ruwan Wijewardene told a press conference.

      See: https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/faculty/benmelech/html/BenmelechPapers/Human_Capital_Suicide_Bombers.pdf

      NOTE Eeyore, please consider bench-marking this crucial evidence of familial wealth amongst the bomb vest killers.

      1.) While empirical evidence exists on the relation between economic distress and unemployment, and suicide in general (for example, Krug et al., 1998; Aihara and Iki, 2002; Kposowa, 2001), and between income and suicide rates (Helliwell, 2004), the typical profile of suicide bombers is different than those who commit suicide in general (Berrebi, 2003; Krueger and Maleckova, 2003).

      2.) Twelve hijackers were either graduates or were enrolled in academic institutions. While Ahmed Alghamdi entered the United States on a student visa, we do not know whether he was actually enrolled in an academic institution, and accordingly we do not classify him as a hijacker pursuing a higher education.

      From the Modern War Institute: https://mwi.usma.edu/three-reasons-palestinian-pay-slay-stay/

      To begin with, if you go to jail for fighting the “Zionists” you are a hero, and who doesn’t want that? If you carry out acts of violent resistance, they might paint your name and likeness on the Separation Barrier in Bethlehem, or if your crime is heinous enough, even if you die they may name a street or public square after you. In addition to the prestige and “street cred” provided by carrying out these attacks, there are more tangible benefits as well. Assuming they do not die in the commission of their crimes, upon release former prisoners are absolved from health insurance payments, and tuition is waived for professional training programs. Tuition at state-run colleges is likewise waived. Depending on the severity of the offense, there may be a good government job waiting for you when you get out. And then, there’s the money.

      Palestinians who commit terrorist acts in the name of “resistance” stand to gain a lot financially. In a region with high unemployment, low economic prospects, and sluggish economic growth, going to an Israeli jail for a few years could be a logical investment in one’s future, and the more serious the crime, the more serious the reward. There is a graduated incentive scale that appears to be based on the kinds of violence that occurs and who carries it out. An Israeli Arab who commits a terrorist act sufficient to land him or her in an Israeli prison for thirty years will earn $39,000 a year for the duration of the sentence, and will have a job with the PA waiting upon release. Given that the per capita GDP in the West Bank is around $2,800, and the likelihood of getting released early as part of a political concession or prisoner exchange, there is a huge financial incentive for carrying out these attacks.

      Cross-correlate all of the preceding links and suddenly the propaganda begins to stand out in stark relief.

      It’s all about the Genocide and the money.

      Always and forever, but especially with terrorism; follow the money and ask yourself, “Cui bono?”. Call such filthy lucre a “Terrorist Keogh–Roth” or just “pay for slay”, it’s Genocide by any means necessary other name, be it Antisemitic or anti-Western, it all no longer matters.

      THE WOLF IS IN THE WESTERN FOLD AND MUST BE SLAIN.

      If Soros is sandbagging the sheepcote’s gatekeeper, THEN FOLD SPINDLE AND MUTILATE HIS DICK CARDS TOO!

      As East Asia’s oldest Christian nation, the Philippines is a major canary in the global jihad coal mine. The Filipinos love their families and will rain everliving hell down upon those who slay them indiscriminately, especially if it’s only because they are Catholic. Don’t dare bet that Pinoys and Pinays have forgotten the Maguindanao (aka Ampatuan) Massacre, much less the post-New Year’s Jolo Cathedral Atrocity:

      Police said at least 20 people died and 111 were wounded, correcting an earlier toll due to double counting. The fatalities included 15 civilians and five troops. Among the wounded were 17 troops, two police, two coast guard and 90 civilians.

      As if they didn’t already suffer enough at the hands of Imperial Japan. Maybe some reverse death marches (southward, this time) might loosen the turbans of these uptight Muslims.

  8. Australian police arrest 3 over alleged Sydney terror plot (abcnews, Jul 2, 2019)
    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/australian-police-arrest-alleged-sydney-terror-plot-64078709

    “Three men were arrested on Tuesday over an Islamic State group-inspired plot to attack a variety of Sydney targets including police and defense buildings, courts, churches and diplomatic missions, police said.

    A 20-year-old suspect had been monitored by police for a year since he returned to Sydney from Lebanon, Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Ian McCartney said. He was known to police in Lebanon.

    The suspect is expected to be charged with preparing for a terrorist act and preparing to enter Afghanistan for the purpose of engaging in hostile activities on behalf of the Islamic State group, McCartney said, adding that he was to go to Afghanistan to take part in a separate plot. He could be sentenced to life in prison on each charge if found guilty.

    “There were a number of plans both internationally in terms of him traveling overseas, but also a domestic plan which was evolving at the same time,” McCartney said.

    A 23-year-old man is expected to be charged with being a member of a terrorist organization, the Islamic State group. He could be imprisoned for 10 years.

    A 30-year-old man who is an associate of the other two was expected to be charged with obtaining financial benefit by deception through fraudulently claiming unemployment benefits. He too faces 10 years in prison. The men are expected to appear in a Sydney court by Wednesday.

    McCartney said the planning was in its early stages, and that the men had yet to obtain guns or explosives.

    The plot was the 16th major terrorist attack to be thwarted by police in Australia since the threat level was raised in September 2014, McCartney said…”

  9. Austria: Politician critical of Islam Dönmez and daughter (11 years old) beaten up by a Chechen+++
    The Upper Austrian Islam critic and member of the National Council Efgani Dönmez was beaten up by a Chechen on Sunday evening on the street Linzer Landstraße and taken to hospital with injuries. The terrible incident is said to have occurred before the eyes of Dönmez’s eleven-year-old daughter.The 23-year-old attacker had previously hidden behind a car when he surprisingly attacked the former Austrian People’s Party politician and his daughter on the pedestrian zone. Dönmez and his daughter were first verbally insulted by the Chechen. Later, the man grabbed an umbrella that had been placed in front of a betting office and attacked Dönmez and the girl. The member of the National Council was able to stand in front of his helpless daughter in a protective manner and thus received all the blows of the brutal Chechen.Dönmez (42 years old) suffered a finger fracture, a laceration on his head and was admitted to a hospital in Linz with several bruises. The police arrested the perpetrator of Chechen descent. The Turkish Cultural Community (TKG) is sending out speculations that the attack could have been an order from a third party.

  10. Here is an absurd notion, but a notion nonetheless. A different type of architectural jihad.

    A super-rich muslim family endeavors to renovate and expand a Canadian landmark next to the Canadian Parliament buildings. A Jewish-Canadian architect explains how wrong the proposed design is. He sends his letter of explanation to a Prime Minister who has a demonstrated servility to Islam.

    While it may be ridiculous to draw a possible subtext to this situation, it would be less absurd if we knew the level to which Mr. Padolsky is red pilled. From the Prime Minister side of the equation the subtext is solid.

    Willfully destroying or defacing iconic constructs of infidelity, as we know, is common practice in jihad. What about the concept of perpetrating such acts in a sneakier manner?

      [does Snoopy happy dance]

      “And, it’s not often that I do this, Jeeves!”

      It makes you wonder if Xi is going to put out hit contracts on Clinton, Bush, and 0bama for setting him up like this.

      Trust businessman Trump to craft THIRTY YEARS OF OVAL OFFICE TREASON into a shaft that he’s darted straight into the CCP’s left nut. If Trump can crush Beijing’s scrotes, THIS WILL BE HIS REAGAN MOMENT.

      Mister Jinping, tear down this Chinese Fire Wall!

      Never did I think that the Berlin Wall would fall in my own lifetime. Literally, I had to go to Germany and see it to believe it. That may well be a measure of the Propaganda Media (eternal hat tip: Richard) and its longstanding perturbation of objective reality.

      It’s become crystal clear that another THIRTY YEARS of Propaganda Media treason is floating to the top of Communism’s cesspool. How to interpret the relative ease with which the Bad Orange Man has placed “China Over a Barrel”? And by “over a barrel” I mean, pants-down-in-the-snow, buns up, un-lubed.

      It is the exact reason why I perpetually howl about Communist China’s own institutionalized innovative-suicide-by-theft. Corrupt favoring of legal circumvention (with tacit collusion approval by American administrations) has weakened the Mainland in ways rivaled only by the OFOC policy.

      In fact, despite a meager disconnection of the lethal OFOC drain trap on China’s gene pool—much like the nation’s catastrophic environmental pollution—the harm has been done and mere damage control will take CENTURIES OF EFFORT. And that’s not the really bad news.

      The bad news is that—without draining its swollen coffers on direct and immediate countermeasures—China, a MILLENNIA FROM NOW, may not recover at all from the scars of Communism. Only by instituting a Five Year Plan crash course program of gender birth rebalancing (with its own Greek Chorus of Feminazis) AND disaster-response measures aimed at ecological repair will the Chinese people have any hope of meaningful recovery WITHIN THIS CENTURY.

      NOW FOR THE REALLY BAD NEWS:

      That train left the station That money was spent on the New Silk Road initiative.

      If anything, Trump may achieve a meisterstück of Economic Warfare (with Chinese characteristics, of course), by—like the usual money-grubbing, Yankee running dog—capitalizing upon THREE DECADES OF INBRED MANDARIN LAXITY—and making all of the TRILLION DOLLAR OBOR INVESTMENTS DEBT TRAPS INTO INVOLUNTARY GIFTS.

      Imagine what a combined touchstone and litmus test this could prove for the USA in a world freed from Communist Chinese tyranny. Much like how Cuba’s stalwart loyalty to the sugar addicted USSR saw Castro ride Havana’s sled straight downhill: Trump is going to give Xinping’s already top-heavy toboggan a nudge over the edge and wave cheerily as Beijing rides its own <strike<highway haywagon to hell.

      As with the Cold War’s end phase, this will be time to fight or fuck fish or cut bait. Rogue nations like Pakistan that will be on the receiving end of Trump’s crowbarred Santa’s sack (made exclusively in Red China) had best show some gratitude or get frozen out permanently..

      It’ll be child’s play to sort out the ingrates who glom onto Beijing’s abandoned baubles, yet adamantly refuse to thank Trump for chasing the neighborhood bully off our planet’s industrial playground. And just like Cuba, we will starve the shit out of all comers who refuse to play well with others at the international economic table.

      As a sidebar, right about now Tehran must be going all brown trousers as they watch Communist China crash and burn go into volcanic-crater mode. If Trump can so easily give the Chicom’s overinflated economic balloon an ungreased prick, SUDDENLY POTUS THREATS TO WIPE OUT IRAN’S MILITARY IN A SINGLE DAY BECOME SERIOUS AS A HEART ATTACK.

      Much as with how miraculous it was that planet Earth dodged a Cold War nuclear exchange: So will it prove dumbfounding if Trump can gently slide Communist China’s fainting fiscal body to the ground WITHOUT BEIJING HAVING AN OPPORTUNITY TO HURL THEIR SEVERAL MILLION EXTRA YOUNG MEN INTO A WORLD WAR THREE MEAT GRINDER.

      The importance of this cannot be overstated. Full stop.

      Again, this could be Trump’s Reagan moment, and I will hand out candy in the streets if Red China’s house of economic cards can be smashed without a global conflict. Again, full stop.

      And I’m only at video time point – 00:02:42!!! This is like fucking Christmas, my birthday, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa all happening in seven minutes or less. As usual, your thoughts please, Richard.

      PS: How to stop drooling over the way this luscious announcer presents herself (Oh baby! Oh, baby! Oh, baby! Va-va-voom!*). It was fun to see enthusiasm get the better of her and force a verbal correction of that “President Trump”. Her own obvious delight at this turn of events is so poorly concealed to where it only increases the jollity.

      NOTE: — The verbal wolf whistle, “va-va-voom” was first brought into linguistic currency via a similarly titled song by Art “Crazy Guggenheim” Carney who was the straight man in “The Honeymooners” and acted in “Joe the Bartender” sketches penned by musical genius, Jackie Gleason. Known to only a select few, comedian Gleason was both one of Hollywood-of-Yore’s last true Renaissance men and (along with Frank Zappa) was one of America’s last great orchestral composers. —

      Liner notes: It may not be Glen Miller’s “In the Mood”, but what follows is the only surviving television broadcast of John Gleason leading his own orchestra. Please note the second part’s outstanding triple-tongued trumpet showcase and immediate drum solo into a slick crescendo. If anyone needs a baseline to judge music by, Gleason gets your toes tapping—a lost art that 99% of modern musical is incapable of.

    • Lost in the outro (at video time point – 00:05:18) is passing mention of how postponement of increased tariffs is calming “skittish investors”, even as Wall Street “jitters” represent some of Trump’s only warning signs.

      WHAT IF those Wall Street “jitters” are, in fact, FALSE ECONOMIC FLAGS (i.e., artificial “indicators” designed to undermine any stampede over to unprofitable (for the Globalists, that is) anti-Sino economic models? Could Soros and the Koch brothers be using market manipulation to try and stem the rising tide of anti-Tranzi populism sweeping the West after these many Trump triumphs? I wouldn’t bet a plugged nickle against it.

      Too bad for all those Leftist idiots who’ve been led to believe that a Trump Triumph is just something in the President’s collection of sports cars.

      Just Trump’s opening salvos have caused Beijing irreparable harm. Both contract manufacturing losses and contraction of DFI (Direct Foreign Investment)—along with further industrial re-offshoring from the Mainland—has carved an easy trillion dollars out of the CCP’s hard currency flow (i.e., it’s lifeblood). Iran squealing for hard payment on all of it oil exports probably doesn’t help either—yet another Trump Triumph that will meet with deafening MSM silence.

      Any more of this and [gasp!] the Mandarins might have to fart through high thread-count Courtrai linen instead of silk!

      All of this reminds me very little of the best line from the original Star Trek movie. When Kirk gloats (as Trump IS DEFINITELY NOT doing) with knowing irony:

      Now that we’ve got them right where they want us.

      Well, Trump keeps kneeing Maotown’s Mandarins in the xiaozi, and that’s right where they deserve it.

  11. LOOKING FOR:

    There is just soooooo much good stuff on Vlad, that you have to be very fast. Well I was not fast enough to save the video (translated by Miss Piggy – a mammoth work) of what we could call the “confessions of a former refugees welcome volunteer” who has seen, if not THE LIGHT, so at least a glimmer. I’d really love to post that on my little blog, now that I am returning slowly.
    I just cannot find it anymore. Any help would be totally appreciated.

    While I’m here, opportunist that I am I might as well hitch a free ride. Thank you Richard and Norse Radish for the kind words (which again I saw but cannot put my finger on now) and can someone tell me if “yucky” is okay and send her my warmest.

    Perhaps I should make myself a little useful, while I’m freeloading here and commend, very warmly, Katie Hopkins’ HOMELANDS:
    https://littlenotesfromparis.blogspot.com/2019/07/katie-hopkins-homelands.html

      • @ EB : Thanks a million for the link, have now put it in the storerroom of my little blog. It is such a significant video and reminds me WHY I left my native Germany as soon as I could escape.

        To the Rest of you tireless Resistance Fighters, Richard, Yucki, Johnnu, NorseRadish: I cannot handle compliments well, so with the assumed permission of your respective partners I’m blowing you kisses all around :);) xxx

    • Yucki was ok last Friday but I haven’t seen any posting since.

      You are very welcome you have earned every kind word given by your tireless work to preserve freedom in the world.

      • Remember Yucki mentioned something about needing a new computer? Maybe that’s why she’s not around.

    • Darling Rita,

      Please permit me to echo others here at VTB. Gal, you earn, what is—for me at least—one of life’s greatest treasures. If anything, and at the risk of sounding trite, you do it just by not giving up, and leading by example for us all. It’s really that simple.

      I’ll not digress—aside from expressing some long overdue and well-deserved gratitude—with any lengthy mention of your leadership role here at VTB during the Notre Dame meltdown. You and a bare few others really carried the day back then.

      Anyhoo, for so long as we persevere, only filthy Kufar Kapitalists like us will have the intellectual and moral toolbox needed to win this (currently) smoldering World War.

      Please know that, from Richard, you are receiving something exceedingly rare in this brain-dead world. Namely, praise from the praiseworthy. In my own book, there’s no better sort to be had and, as with duty done, it is “the fireside of the soul”.

      Thank you for all that you do. We, all of us know, the onerous task it represents to track and report upon something so regularly ghastly as Islam. Spending almost twenty years as a citizen journalist covering jihad has only deepened my already bottomless respect for America’s military, ER staff, and first responders: with regard to surviving this ongoing global epidemic of uncertainty and stress.

      Islam has puredee hell coming. Doom cometh in the guises of economic collapse, thermonuclear plasma, water poverty, peak oil, breached food security, uninterrupted internecine ethno-ideological wars—or just Muslim DE-EVOLUTION (like no other culture on Earth) via consanguineously reinforced recessive traits both purposefully inbred and, of particular importance, imported from sexually enslaved weaker cultures conquered through jihad.

      This last point cannot be overstated. Much like how Communist China’s OFOC policy has near-permanently tainted the Sinological gene pool, so it is that Islam has maimed itself at a bedrock genetic level.

  14. France Blasts ‘Hysterical’ Migrant Policy of Italy’s Salvini (breitbart, Jul 2, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2019/07/02/france-blasts-hysterical-migrant-policy-of-italys-salvini/

    “French government spokeswoman Sibeth Ndiaye said on Tuesday that the behavior of Italian interior minister Matteo Salvini on migration issues was “unacceptable” in reference to the recent confrontation with the Sea-Watch NGO.

    “I think the Italian government has not been up to the standards it should be,” said Ms. Ndiaye in an interview on French television Tuesday morning. “The behavior of Mr. Matteo Salvini on the migration issue is unacceptable.”

    The French spokeswoman’s words followed a major stand-off between the Italian populist government and the German NGO Sea-Watch, which illegally docked at Lampedusa last weekend to unload the 42 African migrants it was carrying.

    Italian police subsequently impounded the NGO vessel and arrested the ship’s captain, the 31-year-old activist Carola Rackete.

    In her interview, Ms. Ndiaye said that Mr. Salvini has been employing a “strategy of hysterization, which consists of blowing out of proportion a subject that is a painful subject, a complex subject, and over which the European Union and France have been in solidarity with Italy.”

    The French spokeswoman said that rules had been established at the level of the European Union (EU) and that these rules had been accepted by Italy.

    “These maritime laws tell us that when there are people who are in distress on the sea, they must be deposited in the nearest safe harbor, and in this case they are Italian ports,” she said.

    She added, however, that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that come to the rescue of migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean should also “be cautious in the way they act.”

    Mr. Salvini, who also heads Italy’s most powerful political party, the Lega, responded immediately to the French spokeswoman, urging France to open in own ports to migrants if it feels so strongly about it.

    “My behavior on immigration is unacceptable?” Salvini tweeted. “The French government should stop insulting and open its ports, since the Italians have already welcomed (and spent) too much.”

    “The next boats? Destination Marseille,” he concluded, in reference to France’s southernmost port city.”

    • Italy & Germany clash over migrant rescue boat’s docking

      Salvini considers the incident an ‘act of war’ while the German FM says that forbidden humanitarian act is not to be criminalized and the treatment was ‘unacceptable’

    • Germany: Activists call for release of Sea Watch captain outside Cologne’s Italian consulate

      “We want the Italian government to realise that this is in Europe and they’re a member state of the EU. Lots of people do not just accept these policies.

      The consulate did not notify us. We’re ready for further discussions but only in adherence with fundamental human rights,” said one protester.

      “As a society, we cannot accept the punishment of those who are saving people from drowning.

      We need more rescuers, not fewer.

      We need a European state-wide rescue mission so this undertaking is not just for private initiatives, who are in grave danger of being punished,” he added.

    Police spokesman Ruwan Gunasekara said former Defense Secretary Hemasiri Fernando and police chief Pujith Jayasundara were arrested at hospitals where they had been admitted. They remain in the hospitals under police custody, he said.

  16. ‘Hong Kong is not China’: Protests pose major test for Xi

    Chinese President Xi Jinping faces a major test in Hong Kong after protesters stormed the semi-autonomous city’s legislature and graffitied a defiant message on its walls: “Hong Kong is not China”.

    Beijing has trod carefully since massive protests erupted last month over a bill that would allow extraditions to the mainland, voicing support for the Hong Kong government without directly intervening and blaming “foreign forces” for the unrest.

    But protesters may have pushed Beijing’s patience to the limit on Monday as they ransacked Hong Kong’s legislature, hung the colonial-era flag in the chamber and spray-painted anti-Beijing messages.

    “It is a blatant challenge to the ‘one country, two systems’ bottom line. We express our vehement condemnation against this,” the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, China’s cabinet, said in a statement.

    The protests came on the anniversary of the 1997 handover from colonial power Britain to China, which gave Hong Kong its own system of rule until 2047 — including rights such as freedom of speech and an independent judiciary that are not enjoyed in mainland China.

    • China condemns violent Hong Kong protests as ‘undisguised challenge’ to its rule

      BEIJING/HONG KONG (Reuters) – China on Tuesday condemned violent protests in Hong Kong as an “undisguised challenge” to the formula under which the city is ruled, hours after police fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters who stormed and trashed the legislature.

      A representative of China’s Hong Kong affairs office denounced the demonstrators, who are furious about proposed legislation allowing extraditions to China, and said Beijing supports holding criminals responsible, state media said.
      Report Ad

      The former British colony of Hong Kong returned to China in 1997 under a “one country, two systems” formula that allows freedoms not enjoyed in mainland China, including freedom to protest and an independent judiciary.

      Monday was the 22nd anniversary of the handover.

      Beijing denies interfering, but for many Hong Kong residents, the extradition bill is the latest step in a relentless march toward mainland control.

  17. ISIS Threats Leading Up to July 4 Depict Attacks on New York, White House
    July 2, 2019 Bridget Johnson

    ISIS supporters have featured New York and Washington in threat propaganda leading up to the Fourth of July — which is not just our Independence Day, but a key caliphate anniversary — that has also included aviation threats.

    One threat image spread online in recent days depicts jihadists watching a fiery plane crash and another from non-official ISIS media channel Maqdisi included the image of a plane in a vow to “soon” attack “the doors of Europe.”

    Another image from al-Irbaad Media Foundation shows a U.S. soldier fleeing down a New York street away from the Manhattan Bridge. Al-Irbaad was founded in December, calling on the “knights of media and the lions of information, graphic designers, producers, and writer alike” to join and “intensify their efforts” to wage war from “both a military and a media point of view.”

  18. Border crossing shut down after ‘large and unruly group’ forms in Mexico

    U.S. authorities closed an international border bridge in El Paso, Texas, early Monday in response to Central American and Cuban migrants protesting on the Mexican side of the border.

    The protesters in Ciudad Juárez were chanting “vamos a cruzar” — “we are going to cross” — before Customs and Border Protection officials closed the bridge about 2 a.m., reported CNN.

    The decision to close the bridge came as “a large and unruly group formed on the Mexican side,” according to CBP spokesman Roger Maier.

    Local TV station KTSM reported the group was comprised of about 250 Cuban and Salvadoran migrants; Ciudad Juarez newspaper El Diario reported the group was comprised of Cubans and Hondurans.

    The Mexican National Guard deployed troops to the area, but they did not engage the protesters, according to El Diario.

  19. REPORT: 35,000 MORE Africans on way to US via South America

    They just keep coming.

    A report from the Center for Immigration Studies indicates another 35,000 African migrants are on their way to the United States.

    According to CIS’s Todd Bensman:

    Like the proverbial “bulge in the belly of the snake,” unusually high numbers of non-Latino migrants, obviously not from Central America, are now reportedly passing from Colombia through Panama on their way to the U.S. southern border. Their numbers range to the tens of thousands, whose vanguards we have already seen at the U.S. Southwest Border in recent months: Cameroonians, Ghanaians, Congolese, Haitians, Cubans, and some from the Middle East.

    Word of their successful entries into the United States this year clearly reached home countries because now a swell numbering as many as 35,000 is on an infamous migrant passage through which migrants have long funneled from South America to North America: the Darien Gap.

    I am told this by two eye-witnesses who have just returned from the Colombia-Panama region on either side of the Gap. One of them is Panama-based author and freelance journalist Chuck Holton, who just visited the Colombian side in the frontier border town of Turbo, which is notorious as a migrant staging area for U.S.-bound migrants to be smuggled through the Darien Gap passage into Panama. The other source is Diane Edrington, a Mississippi-based nurse practitioner who has worked for years as a Panama Missions volunteer and who just returned from camps I visited in December on the Panama side of the Darien Gap.

  20. Iran is breaching its uranium stockpile limit under the nuclear deal. Here’s what that actually means

    Iran has now exceeded its internationally-agreed stockpile limit of low-enriched uranium, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed Monday, breaching a key tenet of the 2015 nuclear deal that the President Donald Trump administration abandoned last year.

    The move comes amid rapidly escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran and against the backdrop of an Iranian economy buckling under the weight of U.S. sanctions, which had previously been lifted under the Obama-era deal in exchange for limits on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.

    Zarif said Iran has surpassed 300kg (661 pounds) of uranium hexafluoride (UF6), the equivalent of 202.8kg of low-enriched uranium, Iran’s limit under the nuclear deal. Uranium enriched to the low level of 3.67% fissile material, allowed under the deal, is the initial step in a complex process that could, over time, enable Iran to accumulate enough highly-enriched uranium to build a nuclear warhead, according to experts.

    Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi, however, said that Iran’s breaches of the deal were “reversible”.

  21. Chinese newspaper calls for ‘zero tolerance’ over HK protests

    SHANGHAI, July 2 (Reuters) – A Chinese state paper on Tuesday called for “zero tolerance” after protestors in Hong Kong stormed and ransacked the city’s legislature following a day of protests against a controversial extradition bill.

    Tensions over the weeks-long movement against the bill escalated on Monday, and Hong Kong police fired tear gas early on Tuesday to disperse hundreds of defiant protesters who had occupied the city’s legislature on the anniversary of Hong Kong’s 1997 return to Chinese rule.

    “Out of blind arrogance and rage, protestors showed a complete disregard for law and order,” the Global Times, published by the ruling Communist Party’s People’s Daily, said in an editorial.

    “Chinese society is all too aware that a zero-tolerance policy is the only remedy for such destructive behavior witnessed. Otherwise, and without this policy, it would be similar to opening a Pandora’s Box,” it said.

    Opponents of the extradition bill, which would allow people to be sent to mainland China for trial in courts controlled by the Communist Party, fear it is a threat to Hong Kong’s much-cherished rule of law.

    In a separate editorial, the state-run China Daily reiterated the principle of “one country, two systems” in Hong Kong — a formula that allows freedoms not enjoyed in mainland China — saying the former British colony is an “inalienable” part of the China, and that Hong Kong affairs concern China.

  22. AOC has difficult day at border facilities, but Sen. Blumenthal confirms Trump’s deal with Mexico is working
    By J.E. Dyer July 2, 2019

    It’s really tiring trying to keep up with Rep. Ocasio-Cortez. On Monday she hate-visited a pair of U.S. Customs and Border Protection facilities Texas, which in the case of the first one reportedly means she screamed and cried at CBP agents, ultimately decided not to actually take the tour she was there for, and then tweeted a series of scurrilous smears about CBP personnel as if she had taken the tour.

    Here, for the record, is what the Washington Examiner believes actually happened as regards how much of the tour Ocasio-Cortez completed:

  23. Did Portland violate the First Amendment by selectively tolerating violence?
    By Hans Bader July 1, 2019

    Portland and its police may have violated the First Amendment by allowing members of the left-wing group Antifa to physically attack people, such as a conservative journalist and an elderly man. Police are not allowed to permit attacks on disfavored speakers, or permit violence by ideologically favored groups, while otherwise enforcing the law. That violates the First Amendment. Police have no duty under the Constitution to protect the public at all. But if they do, they can’t selectively withhold protection from people with disfavored views, or selectively permit violence by a group they ideologically sympathize with.

    A federal appeals court made that clear in Dwares v. City of New York (1993). It allowed New York City police to be sued because they allowed flag burners to be attacked, when they likely would not have permitted such attacks on anyone else. Such viewpoint discrimination was forbidden by the First Amendment.

    In Portland, police did nothing as Antifa attacked people nearby. For example, Antifa members viciously attacked journalist Andy Ngo on Saturday at a Portland rally. They assaulted him with fists and milkshakes that may have contained caustic quick-dry cement, sending him to the emergency room. Other video of Antifa shows “a group of masked thugs beating an elderly man in Portland with a crowbar and macing him.”

    One reason many Americans don’t trust those “fact-checker” websites is because to know them is to see right through their incessantly liberal worldview. These impartial arbiters of truth routinely defend Democrats as being “Mostly True” on everything while savaging Republicans as just the opposite. It’s not just Donald Trump, mind you. It’s Ted Cruz. And Rick Santorum. And Newt Gingrich. And pretty much anyone who challenges liberal orthodoxy.

    So it was maddening that NBC News put its “fact-checker” Jane Timm on the first Democrat debate, who then proclaimed on the “NBC News Now” livestream, “It was a pretty clean debate.” No errors? Timm proceeded to support Julian Castro for tying the “tragic death of that father and daughter to Trump’s own immigration policies.” She added, “And we checked that. It is true!”

    Saying that Trump policies kill immigrants is graded as true? That, according to NBC, is a natural consequence of following the rule of law.

    MSNBC viewers woke up to Joe Scarborough touting how incredible the Democrats were. “Not only were they talking substantive policy but also making it a very boring night for fact-checkers who haven’t slept for two and a half years!” There was laughter and applause from the breakfast crowd he assembled for his show. His wife, Mika Brzezinski, chimed in saying, “They took the night off!” MSNBC analyst Eddie Glaude seconded the emotion, oozing that the Democrats brought “fact-based reality” to their policy talk.

  25. Border Patrol Agents Under Investigation for Laughing at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez
    July 2, 2019
    Daniel Greenfield

    The best jokes in the Soviet Union were those you couldn’t officially laugh at. That’s also true in the United States of America. These days.

    The group was standing inside the station near an area where migrants are held when Ocasio-Cortez left them to sit inside a nearby holding area with a family as the other lawmakers and aides were briefed on station operations.

    “She comes out screaming at our agents, right at the beginning [of the tour] … Crying and screaming and yelling,” said one witness who said he was stunned by the outburst in front of approximately 40 people.

    “The agents, they wanted to respond, but they held back because she’s a congressional delegate. But when you have someone yelling at you in a threatening manner … ” the same person said. “They were like, ‘Hey, you need to kinda step back.’”

    That’s crybullying in action.

    All of the websites using Cloudflare went offline this morning.

    The Gateway Pundit, The Drudge Report, Instapundit, PJ Media were all down for about a half hour on Tuesday morning.

    here appears to be a lot of activity on the Digital Attack Map.

    Cloudflare released a statement moments ago – via Data Center Dynamics.

    The full cause of the outage is unknown, with Cloudflare’s support page simply noting: “Cloudflare is observing network performance issues. Customers may be experiencing 502 errors while accessing sites on Cloudflare.

    “We are working to mitigate impact to Internet users in this region.”

    CEO Matthew Prince tweeted: “Aware of major Cloudflare issues impacting us network wide. Team is working on getting to the bottom of what’s going on. Will continue to update.”

    Update, 14:15 UTC: “Cloudflare has implemented a fix for this issue and is currently monitoring the results.

    “We will update the status once the issue is resolved.”

  27. INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH

    *****FREEDOM TO DISSENT & THE NEW BLACKLIST IN AMERICA
    video – 24 minutes
    Natural (human) rights, also known as civil liberties, are outlined in the U.S. Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and Universal Declaration of Human Rights. NVIC Cofounder and President Barbara Loe Fisher reviews recent efforts to block freedom to publicly dissent about vaccine safety and the ethics of mandatory vaccination laws. Parallels are drawn between the “blacklist era” of the 1950’s and current efforts to eliminate civil liberties, including the human right to freedom of speech and conscience.

  28. CANADA STIFLES RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
    Quebec’s stifling of religious expression is becoming the rule in Canada, rather than the exception. I have written here about how the Ontario Court of Appeals has ruled that all doctors must abort, euthanize, provide transgender interventions or any other legal medical procedure — or find a doctor who will, called an “effective referral.” In other words, Ontario forces doctors to take human life or provide services he or she might consider mutilating, even if the doctor considers it an egregious sin — either that, or be ghettoized into areas of practice such as podiatry in which no such requests are likely to be made. And if they don’t like that, as one judge put it, they can get out of medicine altogether. Do you see the pattern? Wesley J Smith

    The world’s largest furniture retailer has fired an employee for quoting Bible verses after staff were told to participate in a gay-pride event.

    The long-term employee, known only as Tomasz K, was sacked by IKEA after he refused to withdraw critical comments he posted on the company intranet which included quotes from the Bible.

    The store had posted a notice on its intranet asking staff to join in celebrating International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. Staff were also allegedly asked to pay attention to people’s preferred pronouns and engage in positive conversations with LGBTQ people about their gay partners and their same-sex families.

    “Islamic State claimed one of its fighters killed a police officer in the Achkhoi-Martanovsky district Chechnya on Monday, just eight days after an ISIS-claimed attack in regional capital Grozny.

    ISIS in a Tuesday, July 2 statement claimed a fighter from its Caucasus Province affiliate “managed to attack a Chechen police officer with a knife and a hand grenade in the village of Bamut … which led to his death.”

    A law enforcement officer was killed and several others injured at a checkpoint on the outskirts of Bamut, around 40 km (25 miles) west of Grozny, the capital of the Chechnya region in Russia’s North Caucasus, Tass reported, adding that the assailant was killed…”

  36. Niger: 18 soldiers killed in attack on military outpost near Inates (thedefsnsepost, Jul 2, 2019)
    https://thedefensepost.com/2019/07/02/niger-soldiers-killed-inates-attack-mali/

    “Armed men on Monday launched a car bomb attack on a Nigerian army base in western Niger near the border with Mali, the defense ministry said on Tuesday.

    Gunmen stormed the Nigerien military outpost near the town of Inates, about 260 km (160 miles) north of Niamey, and killed at least 16 soldiers on Monday, July 1, Reuters reported, citing the brother of one of the troops and two security sources.

    “The attack began with the detonation of two suicide vehicles at the entrance to the camp, followed by gunfire from terrorists who arrived on motorbike,” the military’s statement said.

    Eighteen soldiers were killed and four are missing, the defense ministry said.

    “The counter-attack, with air support from our partners, enabled the enemy to be routed beyond our borders,” it said.

    “Sweeping-up operations are continuing.”

    French Mirage fighter jets and American reconnaissance aircraft responded to the attack, RFI reported on Monday.

    U.S. forces provided intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance support but did not launch any airstrikes, and no American forces were in the vicinity, a U.S. Africa Command spokesperson told The Defense Post on Tuesday.

    U.S. Africa Command also assisted Niger with contracted evacuation support, the spokesperson said.

    Several “terrorists” were killed, a truck was destroyed by air strikes and two suicide vehicles were destroyed, the defense ministry said.

    It was unclear who carried out the assault.

    The volatile region is a major base where Nigerien soldiers are trained to serve in the United Nations MINUSMA peacekeeping mission in Mali…”
