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.

Belgium to Invest 80k Euros in Drones to Track Migrants (breitbart, Aug 2, 2019)
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/08/02/belgium-invest-80k-euros-drones-track-migrants/
“The Belgian police are investing around 80,000 (£73,100) euros into a new project using drones to track the movements of illegal migrants along the coastal region.
The investment will go towards one large and two smaller drones and will be used to monitor the coastline between La Panne and Nieuwpoort near the French border, Belgian French-language newspaper Le Soir reports.
The most expensive drone that is to be bought by the police is said to be able to travel at around 40 miles per hour and can fly to an altitude of around half a mile, but will be limited to 300 feet due to security concerns.
Along with tracking the movements of illegal migrants, the drones will also be used to search local beaches for missing children, missing elderly, and locate people who may potentially be drowning in the sea.
The initiative comes after neighbouring France announced in March that they would also be investing in drones to monitor the English Channel for illegal migrants…”

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) may be using an Ouija board to solicit campaign donations, as it has been revealed she received a sizable sum from a person who has been deceased for the past 10 years.
According to Free Beacon, Tlaib’s campaign Federal Election Commission filings reveal the freshman congresswoman received a generous donation from a businessman who has been deceased for a decade.

NYT, WaPo Op-Eds Blast Dem Candidates After Trump Once Again Makes Them Embrace Race-Baiting Extremist
Avatar by Joseph Curl August 2, 2019 186 Comments
A couple weeks ago, President Trump took aim at “The Squad” — Reps. Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.
The Democratic Party quickly unified, with members coming to their defense and lauding them for their work.
Then Trump ripped Baltimore as a rat infested hellhole, also hitting Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings, the city congressman. That brought more Democrats out to defend the city and claim Trump is racist.
Those racism charges immediately brought out race-baiter Al Sharpton, who, true to form, Trump promptly blasted. And once again, top Democrats were forced to rally around the target of Trump’s ire.

WOW! FBI Caught Using Far Left Websites Wikipedia and Snopes as Sources for Junk Report on Deep State “Conspiracy Theories”
As Cristina Laila reported yesterday…
The FBI recently published a report warning that “conspiracy theorists” discussing the “deep state” are a new domestic terrorism threat.
What exactly is considered a ‘conspiracy theory?’
The document specifically called out ‘QAnon’ which is a belief that “Q” is a government official posting information on an online forum about Trump’s efforts to dismantle the Deep State.
“The FBI assesses these conspiracy theories very likely will emerge, spread, and evolve in the modern information marketplace, occasionally driving both groups and individual extremists to carry out criminal or violent acts,” the document states.
The document also claims the FBI believes conspiracy theory-driven extremists are likely to increase during the 2020 presidential election cycle.
The FBI appears to be bracing for Spygate backlash because they said another factor driving the so-called threat is “the uncovering of real conspiracies or cover-ups involving illegal, harmful, or unconstitutional activities by government officials or leading political figures.”

Ten Congressmen Express ‘Grave Concern,’ ‘Extreme Disappointment’ with War College’s Surrender to ‘Terrorist-Tied’ CAIR
More vocal support for Shillman Fellow Raymond Ibrahim.
August 2, 2019
Frontpagemag.com
Editor’s note: In a recent letter, written and delivered to the Commandant of the US Army War College, ten members of Congress shared their “grave concern” that the USAWC “capitulated to the unfounded claims of CAIR [concerning Shillman Fellow Raymond Ibrahim and his book], and thus damaged the academic freedom and integrity of the high esteem in which the USAWC is held by many around the world…. Not only are we hearing from constituents – military and civilian – on this issue [click here for background], but we’re extremely disappointed in the decision to cancel Mr. Ibrahim and his voice on a critical, current issue in our Nation.”
This new missive complements an earlier one on the same topic from the National Association of Scholars to President Trump, which currently has nearly five thousand signatures (click here to add your name).
The complete letter from the ten Congressmen follows; it makes several excellent points, including how canceling Ibrahim’s lecture not only “jeopardizes academic freedom and the analytical ability critical for senior leaders, but also endangers national security in several ways”; and that for the War College to cater its “academic offerings to the demands of one side – especially one designated with terrorist ties – deprives our senior leaders of a balanced viewpoint and analysis critical to success on the battlefield and the future of our Nation.”

New Evidence Unveils Disturbing Facts About Hillary’s Email Scandal
FBI is implicated in destroying evidence to benefit Clinton.
August 2, 2019
Deborah Weiss
In breaking news, the American Center for Law and Justice or ACLJ (Jay Sekulow’s organization, not related to his role as the President’s attorney), has obtained actual copies of the immunity agreements pertaining to Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson in the Hillary email scandal. This was a stunning litigation win, hard-fought after years of litigation by the ACLJ attorneys, who were unable to extract the documents through the normal FOIA processes, due to a lack of cooperation by the government.
In reviewing what the agreements uncovered, keep in mind that Cheryl Mills was Secretary Clinton’s Chief of Staff at the State Department and then bizarrely, she subsequently served as Clinton’s attorney, representing her in the email scandal. Heather Samuelson worked on Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign, and then became a Senior Advisor to her at the State Department, as well as the White House liaison. Somehow, she also became one of Clinton’s personal attorneys during the email scandal.
The immunity agreements issued by the government, were crafted so that the agencies could extract information from the parties, despite the fact that this is not necessary because DOJ has the power to require that the information be turned over. Clinton kept classified emails on a private server in violation of Federal law, and the immunity agreements reveal that both Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson were actively involved in the cover-up of these emails as well as in the destruction of evidence. According to Jordon Sekulow, Executive Director of the ACLJ, it is extremely unusual for someone involved in a criminal cover up, who needs an immunity deal to ensure the evasion of jail time, later becomes the attorney representing the other potential criminal or co-conspirator

How Iran is Taking Over Syria
And what Trump needs to do about it.
August 2, 2019
Rachel Avraham
A recent survey put out by Fox News found that six in ten Americans believe that Iran poses a threat to America’s safety. These Americans are backed up in their convictions as they recently witnessed the Iranian Revolutionary Guards threatening a British warship. This came after Iran attacked a Japanese tanker, had its proxies attack an international airport in Saudi Arabia and seized a British ship. As tensions flare in the region, it is of critical importance to recall that Iran does not merely pose a threat to the US in the Persian Gulf. The Mullahs can also harm America via their proxies in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen. Given this fact, it is of utmost importance that Americans pay attention to how the Islamic Republic is entrenching itself in Syria.
A recent report issued by the Safadi Center found that:

“Access to Adequate Nutritious Food is a Human Right”
August 2, 2019
Daniel Greenfield
Democrats have begun claiming that health insurance is a human right, and housing is a human right. Food? Obviously a human right.
But not just any food. “Access to adequate nutritious food is a human right,,” declared Corey Johnson, New York City’s insanely terrible City Council Speaker.
Corey Johnson is so bad that he makes Bill de Blasio seem moderate.
And due to term limits, New York City’s political crazies become the state’s and then the nation’s problem.

4 injured after multiple blasts hit Bangkok as Thailand hosts Asean meeting (straitstimes, Aug 2, 2019)
https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/several-small-explosions-in-bangkok
“A series of bombs blasts rocked Bangkok in several locations on Friday (Aug 2) morning, as the city hosts a regional summit attended by world leaders including United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
Police believe homemade bombs were behind the six explosions which left four people slightly injured and rush-hour commuters scrambling.
A seventh unexploded device was later recovered by police.
Three small explosive devices went off near the busy BTS Skytrain Chong Nonsi station in central Bangkok before 9am, with at least one explosion heard in front of the King Power Mahanakhon Building, which is near the elevated station, and another at a park under the station.
Commuters later posted photos of a shattered glass screen at the station on social media.
“I was just stepping out of the station and I heard a very loud bang. It was very scary. There was a flash of light and some smoke. People were panicking and rushing out,” tweeted @muchmuchmellow.
The station closed its Gates 2 and 4 following the explosions. A spokesman for the Erawan Emergency Medical Centre said two of the injured were working at the Mahanakhon building.
There was also an explosion in a residential area in the city.
“Residents said they saw some technical students drop something (before the explosions), so we’re chasing the lead,” police officer Teerapong Wongratpitak told The Straits Times as officers combed the housing estate for clues.
Fruit vendor Balee Inpracon, 23, who was in the area when the bomb went off, initially dismissed the incident.
“I didn’t think anything serious happened because I thought it was just another (electrical) transformer explosion. It happens a lot in this area,” she said.
Several explosions were also heard at the government complex in Chaeng Wattana on the outskirts of Bangkok, but nobody was injured.
Police on Thursday said they found two fake bombs near the Centara Hotel, where the 52nd Asean Foreign Ministers’ Meeting and related gatherings attended by world leaders are being held.
Two men linked to this incident have been arrested.”

https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20190802-we-record-2761-women-tortured-and-degraded-since-egypt-coup/
“An international rights platform has documented thousands of violations against women in Egypt since 3 July 2013, a turning point in the regime’s treatment of females, which was considered a red line by previous governments.
We Record has documented enforced disappearances, physical and psychological torture, threats of rape and exposure to sexual harassment by members of the national security and police personnel, over the six years since the coup.
The regime has carried out 312 extrajudicial killings against women, according to their research, forcibly disappeared 396 women and 16 girls and referred 115 to terrorism courts.
The Arab Organisation for Human Rights has said that as many as 3,185 civilians have been extrajudicially killed by Egyptian security forces since 3 July 2013.
Rights groups have accused the Egyptian authorities of carrying out punitive measures against the opposition to silence dissenting voices.
They are also putting pressure on relatives of opposing figures, most blatantly against the wife and daughters of Khairat Al-Shater, a top figure within the Muslim Brotherhood who has been detained for six years and who was tried alongside former President Mohamed Morsi in the Hamas espionage case…”

Morocco Arrests Spanish National Suspected of Organizing Irregular Migration (mwn, Aug 2, 2019)
https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2019/08/279583/morocco-spanish-national-organizing-irregular-migration/
“Police in Nador, eastern Morocco arrested, on Thursday, August 1, a 49-year old Spanish national suspected of organizing an irregular migration operation.
The suspect was driving an international transport truck registered in Spain, according to a statement from the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN).
According to the statement, an irregular migrant was found hiding inside the truck.
DGSN noted that the would-be migrant was very carefully hidden.
The irregular migrant, having difficulty breathing, feared for his life and contacted a family member for help. His family then called the police who managed to identify and stop the truck to rescue the migrant.
The investigation into the suspect shows that the Spanish national previously carried out two similar operations, charging MAD 10,000 per person.
The truck driver was collaborating with a second suspect who police believe is responsible for mediating irregular migration operations. The second suspect receives sums of MAD 60,000 per person in return for trafficking services.
Police put the suspect in custody pending further investigation into the incident and any accomplices involved in the irregular migration network…”

channel 4 – Migration battle sees Pope pitted against Italy’s most powerful politician
Under Pope Francis, the Catholic Church has become a radical, pro-migrant voice. From washing the feet of refugees to calling for open borders, his message of love-thy-neighbour is clear.
But on the other side, there’s Matteo Salvini, who fronts Italy’s populist Lega party.
His anti-immigration agenda has proven a big vote winner and has exposed the tension between religion and politics in Italy.
The Catholic Church has stayed diplomatic so far, but how long before it decides to intervene?

“We want our procedures to be effective and efficient but humane too,” she said.
“It is not an easy job but we have all realised that there are no easy solutions. “It is necessary to review the concept of the sharing out of the burdens.
“We know that Italy, Spain and Greece are geographically exposed.
“It is fundamentally important to be able to guarantee solidary, but this is not a unilateral process”.”
