  1. Germany: Islamist tried to shoot judge – He doesn’t accept anyone insulting his religion+++
    After just a few seconds there is a first scandal in the large courtroom of the Augsburg Criminal Court. The defendant spits in the direction of the journalists who take pictures of him. Shortly afterwards, when the judges enter the hall, Haidar A., 26 years old, refuses to stand up. He wrangles with judicial officers and policemen. When the situation calms down again, the presiding judge Sandra Mayer orders the defendant to wear a thin spit hood over his head during the trial. It is supposed to prevent him from spitting around. The trial at the Regional Court in Augsburg started yesterday, Tuesday, under increased security measures anyway. Haidar A., who claims to be a Palestinian, allegedly tried to murder several judges and a prosecutor during a trial. The prosecution accuses the man, who also attracted attention because of his Islamist statements, of six counts of attempted murder.It is about an incident in the summer of 2017, when the Syrian was on trial in Augsburg for trying to behead a roommate in an accommodation for asylum seekers in Hurlach (Landsberg district). He had rammed a knife down the roommate’s throat. The stab was twelve centimeters deep, the victim survived only thanks to a quick emergency surgery. During the verdict on this crime – he was sentenced to almost 13 years in prison for attempted murder – Haidar A. tried to grab a policeman’s pistol. There was a wrangling, but in the end several officials could overpower and tie him up. Haidar A. had previously also thrown a shoe at the prosecutor and spat several times in the direction of the judges.Haidar A. admits without hesitation that he wanted to grab the policeman’s weapon and shoot the prosecutor and the judges using the weapon. He just did not succeed. “I would have started with the prosecutor,” he said in court on Tuesday. He felt he had been treated unfairly by the judiciary. He defends himself for the knife attack on his roommate in the accommodation. The roommate had repeatedly insulted Islam. This was the only reason why he attacked him and stabbed him with a knife. He doesn’t accept anyone insulting his religion, says Haidar A. “That pisses me off.” The presiding judge wants to know whether he will continue to become violent if someone insults his religion. He only answers: “Not immediately.” When he is asked whether he is an Islamist, he says: “I am proud to be a Muslim”. He also says that although he does not hate German society, he hates the German police and judiciary. The defendant stated in an interrogation with the police that he had fled Syria because of the civil war. During his flight, he was also temporarily accommodated and well treated by the terrorist organization “Islamic State”, so he could not say anything bad about the IS. As a Palestinian, he also sympathized with the Hamas organization classified as a terrorist group.He admits that he has experience in dealing with weapons. But he did not know the police officer’s service pistol, a P7 from Heckler & Koch. He didn’t expect it anyway, says Haidar A., that he could succeed in taking the gun and firing it.Loaded, however, was the pistol, with eight rounds of ammunition. The 55-year-old policeman reports as a witness in court that he noticed that the defendant had grabbed his belt. However, he did not succeed in pulling the weapon out of the secured holster. In order for such an incident not to happen again in the current trial, the 26-year-old has to sit in the dock tied to his hands and feet this time. In addition, a glass pane separates the defendant from the bench.A detective who spoke to Haidar A. in prison for a long time says the situation during the interrogation was very strange. The defendant openly talked about his hatred of the German state – and showed no remorse. At the same time, however, he was friendly and courteous during the conversation.The trial will continue in about two weeks.

  2. Swedish Right-Wing Leader Calls for Zero Immigration, Repatriation of Migrants (sputniknews, Sep 4, 2019)
    https://sputniknews.com/europe/201909041076718410-swedish-right-wing-leader-calls-for-zero-immigration-repatriation-of-migrants/

    “Meanwhile, the idea of repatriating migrants once their counties have become more peaceful is catching fire across Sweden.

    The leader of the party Sweden Democrats, Jimmie Åkesson, has penned an opinion piece in the daily newspaper Aftonbladet, spelling out what he called “more reality-based immigration politics”, compared with other parties.

    While placing the blame for what he claimed to be a man-made migrant crisis on the ruling Social Democrats and welcoming the centre-right liberal-conservative Moderates’ recent message to reduce asylum immigration, Åkesson called this measure “unambitious”.

    According to Åkesson, Sweden should limit the number of accepted asulym seekers to zero, as long as the situation remains as problematic as today.

    Furthermore, life in the so-called “parallel society” should be made impossible, while those who are in Sweden illegally must be persuaded to leave the country or efficiently identified and taken into custody pending an expulsion, Åkesson contended.

    The Sweden Democrats long-standing leader also argued that the country’s Migration Board should “more pronouncedly work on repatriation”, which he called “the last step in responsible refugee assistance”.

    In conclusion, Åkesson suggested that the entire perception of migration must change. According to him, citizenship can no longer be something that is almost automatically distributed to “those who have been here long enough”.

    “As a minimum, anyone who becomes a Swedish citizen must be able to understand Swedish, understand and respect Swedish laws and regulations, and show an understanding of social codes, norms and values”, Åkesson concluded in his opinion piece co-signed with Sweden Democrat immigration spokesperson Paula Bieler.

    The idea of repatriating migrants, pioneered ahead of the 2018 election by the right-wing party Alternative for Sweden, which was formed by maverick Sweden Democrats who thought their mother party wasn’t doing enough, is catching fire in Swedish society.

    Last week, Svenska Dagbladet’s leading conservative columnist Ivar Arpi sparked a debate by suggesting in a series of tweets that the time was ripe for Sweden to consider annual repatriation of refugees.

    “Migration Agency: conflict level in Syria lower. For some reason, though, those who have already received refugee status are not affected by this. Why not? In a reasonable world, this would have meant that the Syrians who had come here now would begin to return en masse”, Arpi tweeted.

    While Arpi’s idea was supported by other conservative commenters such as Annie Heberlein, who suggested the very same thing, he was immediately branded “racist” by the liberal-leaning press. Meanwhile, the Sweden Democrats remain a pariah in the Swedish Parliament, despite being the country’s third-largest party with 17.5 percent of the vote.

    As the Sweden Democrats were conspicuously left out of the recent cross-party talks on escalating violence in the country, Åkesson suggested this was tantamount to “kicking out the surgeon from the operation room, while the patient is bleeding to death”.

    Sweden currently has one of the EU’s most generous immigration policies, having taken in over 200,000 asylum seekers since the 2015 migrant crisis alone.”

  3. British couple drive home from holiday in France to discover illegal immigrant stowed away in their car roof box ‘after sneaking aboard in Calais’ (dailymail, Sep 4, 2019)
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7426057/Couple-drive-home-holiday-discover-illegal-immigrant-car.html

    “A British couple drove home from their holiday in France to discover a 17-year-old illegal immigrant stowed away in their car roof box.

    Simon Fenton, 57, parked his Skoda on his drive in Newbury, Berkshire, before his wife Sally screamed as he went to open up their £690,000 five-bedroom home.

    The solicitor saw a shoe sticking out the side of the roof box, before the car started moving and the couple heard someone inside it.

    They then saw a hand come out, and the boy started speaking in broken Dutch and German. The couple were able to establish he was aged about 17 and from Egypt.

    They called police who arrived and used a crowbar to open the box – telling the couple to stand back because he might be armed with a gun, reported The Sun.

    Police then took the boy into custody. Mr Fenton believes he got into the car while it was parked overnight in Calais before they sailed to Dover in Kent…”

  4. Swedish King Expresses Concern over Shootings and Bombings (breitbart, Sep 4, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/09/04/swedish-king-expresses-concern-shootings-bombings/

    “Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf has expressed public concern over the number of shootings and explosions across the country that are often linked to gang crime.

    The Swedish monarch spoke out about the recent trend saying during a meeting with senior Swedish police officials alongside his daughter, Crown Princess Victoria, saying: “The anxiety that these actions cause to the public is shared by me and my family.”

    His Royal Highness added in comments reported by Die Welt that he and the Swedish royal household supported the police and other branches of law enforcement while sympathising with the families of victims of shootings and other acts of violence.

    Shootings and explosions have become a major issue in Sweden this year with the country seeing at least 120 explosive incidents from January to July, a figure up 45 per cent compared to the previous year.

    The southern multicultural city of Malmö has seen a particularly high number of explosive incidents so far in 2019, including three explosions in a span of just 24 hours earlier in the year.

    A large explosion in Copenhagen in neighbouring Denmark also occurred this year and it was later revealed that the suspects behind the blast, which occurred at a Tax Authority building, were Swedes from the city of Malmö.

    As a result of the increase in explosions and continued gang violence, Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven has commissioned an investigation into the problem, and invited all political parties, aside from the populist Sweden Democrats, to participate in discussions on the topic.

    Special investigator Kazimir Åberg has proposed new policies to combat the issue including increasing the maximum sentence for firearms offences from six to seven years in prison and to give more power to customs officials to intercept firearms and explosive devices shipped from overseas.

    While giving more power to customs officials and border police could reduce weapons being smuggled from the Balkans, investigators have also noted an increase in robberies at construction sites of explosives as well.”

  5. EU Commissioner Demands Member States Take in ‘Vulnerable’ Migrants Directly from Africa (breitbart, Sep 4, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/09/04/eu-commissioner-demands-members-take-vulnerable-migrants-directly/

    “Migration commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos has called on European Union member states to take migrants directly from countries in Africa, citing current talks with Rwanda.

    Avramopoulos said he would like to see members of the EU bring far more “vulnerable” migrants directly from refugee camps in various African countries saying: “I call on all Member States to step up their resettlement efforts and implement their commitments to receive refugees as soon as possible.”

    The EU Commissioner specifically mentioned Libya, a country with an estimated 500,000 or more migrants, saying in comments reported by Die Welt: “It is necessary to carry out more emergency evacuations from Libya.”

    The call echoes that of migrant transport NGO captain Carola Rackete who demanded that the EU take in at least 500,000 migrants from Libya. NGO Doctors Without Borders has also made similar demands to Germany but cited a much smaller number of migrants.

    Avramopoulos said that so far, around 35,000 migrants have come to Europe from Africa as part of the EU resettlement programme in the last two years, but added: “We must not become complacent. Relocations should become the most important way to join the European Union for those in need of protection.”

    “We must make resettling a priority if we want to support partner countries that have taken in refugees. However, this is also important in order to provide refugees who want to travel to Europe in safe ways so that they no longer have to resort to dangerous and illegal sea and land routes,” he added.

    Not everyone in the EU agrees that the political bloc should open up to further migration. Over the weekend, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó stated: “The safety of the people of Europe is paramount, migration must be kept outside Europe.”

    His comments came in reaction to the mass stabbing attack over the weekend in the French city of Lyon by an Afghan asylum seeker that left one person dead and another nine wounded.

    “It cannot be part of the European way of life to be afraid of our lives at a bus stop, a street fair, or a concert because there are people who live here in Europe but want to destroy us,” Szijjártó said.”

    • CANADA TO TAKE IN 100,000 PALESTINIANS

      U.S. has agreement with Canada to accept 100,000 Palestinians: Arab report
      Canada would receive 100,000 Palestinians from Lebanon and Syria and Spain would receive 16,000 Palestinians from Lebanon, alongside similar agreements with Belgium and France.

      The Lebanon-based newspaper Al Akhbar reported that an official source in one of the Palestinian factions revealed that there is an understanding between the United States and Canada for Canada to receive 100,000 Palestinians (40,000 from Lebanon and another 60,000 from Syria).

      In addition, there is a further understanding with Spain to receive 16,000 Palestinians from Lebanon, alongside similar agreements with Belgium and France. The understandings would lead to the reduction of the cost of migration from $12,000 to $7,000 per person.

      The representative of Hamas in Lebanon, Ahmed Abdel-Hadi, told Al Akhbar that part of the Deal of the Century aims to resettle between 75,000 to 100,000 Palestinians in Lebanon and displace the rest to more than one country.

    • Canada denies Arab media report it will take in 100,000 Palestinians

      According to report, Canada would receive 100,000 Palestinians from Lebanon and Syria and Spain would receive 16,000 Palestinians from Lebanon, alongside similar agreements with Belgium and France.

      The Canadian government rejected the report, claiming that it was false.

      “Canada is a welcoming country to people from around the world, but it is important that people rely on accurate information before starting their journey,” Mathieu Genest, press secretary for the Ministry of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada told The Jerusalem Post.

      “There are no special programs currently being considered to resettle people from Lebanon or Syria. Little information is publicly available about who registered or is responsible for the content. We chose to correct the disinformation to remind both prospective immigrants and Canadians that accurate information is available through Government of Canada websites,” he added.

  6. Kurdish official: Syria’s ‘safe zone’ off to a good start (abcnews, Sep 4, 2019)
    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/kurdish-official-syrias-safe-zone-off-good-start-65374863

    “The creation of a so-called “safe zone” in northeastern Syria has gotten off to good start, with U.S.-backed Kurdish-led forces pulling back from a small, initial area along the Turkish border, a Syrian Kurdish official said — but calm can only prevail if Turkey also removes its troops.

    Ilham Ahmed, co-chair of the executive committee of the U.S-backed Syrian Democratic Council, said the understanding reached between Washington and Ankara last month, and in coordination with the Syrian Kurdish-led forces, constitutes a step toward starting a dialogue over mutual security concerns.

    “We seek to find a way to dialogue, and starting to implement this plan expresses our readiness and seriousness,” Ahmed said in an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press.

    “We want to tell the world and the coalition that we are ready to take serious steps to get to dialogue,” she added.

    Turkey views the U.S-backed Kurdish People’s Protection Units, or YPG, in Syria as an extension of a Kurdish insurgency within Turkey.

    Ankara has already carried out military offensives inside Syria to push the group away from the western end of the border. Over the last weeks, Turkish officials threatened a similar offensive in northeastern Syria, where troops from the U.S.-led coalition are deployed to help the Syrian Kurdish-led forces in combatting remnants of the Islamic State group.

    The Syrian Kurds have been America’s only partners on the ground in Syria’s chaotic civil war. With U.S. backing, they proved to be the most effective fighting force against the Islamic State group and announced its territorial defeat earlier this year. The Kurds now worry about being abandoned by the U.S. amid Turkish threats to invade Syria, and are keen to work out an agreement with both parties that would safeguard their gains…”

  7. Pakistani police raid militant hideout near Quetta; 6 killed (abcnews, Sep 4, 2019)
    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/pakistani-police-raid-militant-hideout-quetta-killed-65375169

    “Pakistan’s police say security forces have raided a militant hideout on the outskirts of the southwestern city of Quetta, triggering a gunbattle that killed all six suspects, including a woman.

    A statement from the counter-terrorism department says five police officers were wounded in the raid early on Wednesday.

    The raid came as Pakistan stepped up security across the country ahead of the annual commemoration of Ashoura, the holiest day on the Shiite Muslim calendar that mourns the 7th century death of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.

    The commemoration ceremonies and rituals are often targeted by Sunni extremist groups in the predominantly Sunni Pakistan. Sunnis view Shiites as heretics who deserve death.”

  8. India names leaders of 2 Pakistan-based groups as terrorists (abcnews, Sep 4, 2019)
    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/india-names-leaders-pakistan-based-groups-terrorists-65377542

    “India has officially declared that the leaders of two Pakistan-based militant groups are terrorists under a new law.

    The Home Ministry on Wednesday named Masood Azhar, chief of Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba, as terrorists under the amended Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Amendment Act.

    Azhar’s name has already been placed by the United Nations on a sanctions blacklist after his group claimed responsibility for a February suicide attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir that killed 40 Indian soldiers and took the two neighbors close to war.

    Saeed, an anti-India cleric, runs a charity in Pakistan known as Jamaat-ud-Dawa. The charity is widely believed to serve as a front for Lashkar-e-Taiba, the group blamed for attacks in Mumbai in 2008 that killed 166 people.”

  9. Iran Sentences Peaceful Activist to 11.5 Years in Prison and 74 Lashes (ncr-iran, Sep 3, 2019)
    https://www.ncr-iran.org/en/news/human-rights/26645-iran-sentences-peaceful-activist-to-11-5-years-in-prison-and-74-lashes

    “A Tehran court has sentenced a labour rights activist to 11 years and six months in jail and 74 lashes for taking part in a peaceful International Workers’ Day gathering in Tehran on May 1, according to the human rights group Iran Human Rights Monitor.

    Atefeh Rangriz, a researcher, who is currently being held at Qarchak Prison in Varamin, stood trial on August 5.

    The notorious Judge Mohammad Mogheiseh at Branch 28 of Iran’s Revolutionary Court sentenced Rangriz and the sentence was handed to her defence lawyer on August 31.

    Rangriz was one of 36 labour activists arrested during the peaceful gathering outside the Iranian parliament in Tehran, which was violently attacked by the Regime’s security and intelligence officials.

    Rangriz was held in solitary confinement in section 209 of Tehran’s Evin prison for several weeks and denied access to her family. After that, she was subjected to interrogations, where the authorities tried to pressure her to “confess” to planning protests intended to harm national security and denied access to a lawyer.

    On July 8, following weeks of interrogation, she was taken to the prosecutor’s office in Evin prison and charged with “gathering and colluding against national security”, “spreading propaganda against the system”, “disrupting public order” and “insulting officers on duty”.

    She was moved to Qarchak Prison near Tehran in mid-June. On August 15, she penned an open letter describing the conditions in Qarchak Prison as “hell” and saying that each ward holds up to 150 inmates, while 12 prisoners are crammed into a “cabin” that is only 8 square meters.

    While some of those arrested with Rangriz were released, others were given prison sentences, like journalist and student Marzieh Amiri who was sentenced to 10 years and six months in jail and 148 lashes.

    In related news, the Iranian courts also sentenced two Tehran Bus Company employees to prison and lashes for participating in the peaceful Labor Day protest.

    Nasrin Javadi, a retired worker, was given seven years behind bars and 74 lashes, while current bus driver Rasoul Taleb Moghadam was given two years in prison, 74 lashes, two years in exile, and is banned from using a mobile phone.

    Also, Parvin Mohammadi, vice president of the Free Union of Iranian Workers, was sentenced to one year in prison for “propaganda against the state” after attending a Labour Day protest in Karaj.

    Over 80 labour unions worldwide have protested against the sentences given to the Iranian Labor Day demonstrators.

    Elsewhere Saba Kord Afshari was sentenced to 24 years in prison for protesting the forced hijab and refusing to make a false confession.”

  11. Hong Kong’s Carrie Lam says she’ll officially withdraw the extradition Bill – is it enough?

    • Hong Kong leader pulls extradition bill, but too little too late, say some

      HONG KONG (Reuters) – Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam on Wednesday withdrew an extradition bill that triggered months of often violent protests so the Chinese-ruled city can move forward from a “highly vulnerable and dangerous” place and find solutions.

      Her televised announcement came after Reuters reports on Friday and Monday revealing that Beijing had thwarted an earlier proposal from Lam to withdraw the bill and that she had said privately that she would resign if she could, according to an audio recording obtained by Reuters.
      Report Ad

      “Lingering violence is damaging the very foundations of our society, especially the rule of law,” a sombre Lam said as she sat wearing a navy blue jacket and pink shirt with her hands folded on a desk in front of her.

      It was not clear when the recording was made. The withdrawal still needs the approval of the Legislative Council, which is not expected to oppose Lam.

      The withdrawal, a key demand of protesters but just one of five, came after unrest that drove the former British colony to the edge of anarchy as the government repeatedly refused to back down – igniting pitched battles across the city of seven million, the arrests of more than 1,000 protesters, and leaving a society deeply divided.

  15. Iran to release seven crew members of detained British tanker

    DUBAI/LONDON (Reuters) – Iran will free seven crew members of the detained British-flagged tanker Stena Impero, Iranian state television reported on Wednesday, although the vessel’s owner said it had yet to receive any official confirmation of the release date.

    The Swedish-owned Stena Impero was detained by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on July 19 in the Strait of Hormuz waterway for alleged marine violations, two weeks after Britain detained an Iranian tanker off the territory of Gibraltar. That vessel was released in August.

    Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi told the TV that the seven, who include Indian citizens, were allowed to leave the tanker on humanitarian grounds and could leave Iran soon.

One of the facts she points out is how the actions of the “remainers” and the “resistance” both showc contempt for the voters. both are groups that think they are the elite who are ‘smarter, better educated and more moral’ then the voters. they are determined to force everyone to live the way the bureaucrats and self proclaimed political elite want and to hell with what the voters want. Both groups seem to be saying that they are the new nobles and royals of a neo feudal system and the voters are the serfs who are not allowed any rights or freedom.)

    Coup-ish: With Tory defections and agenda grab, Parliament once again angles to delay Brexit
    By J.E. Dyer September 4, 2019

    Boris Johnson suffered a major loss in Parliament on Tuesday, as the departure of a single Conservative to sit with the Liberal Democrats eliminated his governing majority, and a subsequent vote saw the MPs seize the parliamentary agenda from him. The latter means the House of Commons can now pass laws that compel Johnson’s compliance.

    As early as Wednesday, Parliament is likely to introduce a bill to delay Brexit again until 31 January 2020. The vote could be held before Parliament adjourns under the prorogation order next week.

    Delaying Brexit was also the upshot of all the parliamentary maneuvers undertaken during Theresa May’s turn at the helm – including several maneuvers of her own.

    The question that occurs to one out here in the cheap seats is this. In light of the repeated bad-faith actions it has required to bring Parliament and the UK to the current pass, is there any basis for thinking that delaying Brexit just happens to be the outcome of a lot of people acting in good faith?

    Trending: A straight pride parade was held on Saturday. Guess how the ‘tolerant’ Left behaved?

    I’m not convinced there is nothing going on here other than Remainers having principled objections to whatever is proposed to them. For one thing, 21 Conservatives crossing the aisle in Tuesday’s make-or-break agenda vote isn’t that. It’s something else – just as other sabotage efforts

    • They want to delay our leaving until 2020,when suddenly we will become subject to a whole raft of anti=democratic new “laws” that will make our escape impossible,plus whatever else they have been cooking up behind our backs ,defence etc that makes our military subject to the non elected non taxpaying totalitarians that make up the polit bureau in Brussels.

      • That is very interesting. Can you detail please some of these new laws and their implications? I am confident your statement is accurate but I would like to know the details.

  17. Chicago had 41 shootings over Labor Day. Who does mayor blame for city’s gun violence?
    By Guest Editorial September 4, 2019

    Chicago has long enjoyed the dubious distinction of being one of America’s most dangerous cities in terms of gun violence. The problem is so severe that in 2015, Yale University researchers did a study on the likelihood of being shot in Chicago. This past Labor Day was no exception to the rule, with 7 of 41 shooting victims dying of their injuries.

    So who does the Windy City’s mayor blame for its epic gun violence? If you said “Republicans,” give yourself a cigar. Responding to a tweet by Ted Cruz in which the senator claimed that “gun control doesn’t work,” adding, “Look at Chicago,” Mayor Lori Lightfoot contended that the record gun violence in her city was the fault of Republicans who never pass “common sense” gun laws. She then tweeted a graphic to prove her point.

    https://libertyunyielding.com/2019/09/04/chicago-had-41-shootings-over-labor-day-who-does-mayor-blame-for-citys-notorious-gun-violence/

    Richard: If what she says is correct why aren’t the people in states with rational gun laws experiencing the same violence? Is she so dumb this idea doesn’t occur to us? Or does she think ear are so dumb it won’t occur to us?

  18. Bernie Sanders: Poor whites ‘were given ‘n****rs’ to hate and look down on’

    Democratic presidential candidate and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders used the n-word in both his 1997 book “Outsider in the House,” as well as its updated 2015 version.

    Sanders used the word while accusing Republicans of playing “scapegoat” politics in 1996 by supporting policies like welfare reform, which Sanders described as a “slight variation on very old themes.”

    “For a hundred years, the white workers of the South were the most exploited white workers in America. They were paid the lowest wages, they endured the worst working conditions, their housing was abysmal, their kids went to the most backward schools, and very few could send their children to college. But what did they have? They were given ‘niggers’ to hate and look down on, ‘niggers’ who couldn’t vote, drink at their water fountains, use the same bathrooms, or sit up front in the buses or movie theaters,” Sanders wrote in the book, a copy of which was reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

  19. Stop Mental Health Data Mining of Our Kids

    That’s my response to the latest trial balloon floated by the White House to join with Silicon Valley on a creepy program monitoring Americans’ “neurobehavioral signs” to (purportedly) prevent gun violence.

    President Donald Trump’s old friend, former NBC head Bob Wright, has been pushing an Orwellian surveillance scheme called “Safe Home” — “Stopping Aberrant Fatal Events by Helping Overcome Mental Extremes” — that would cost taxpayers between $40 million and $60 million. The Washington Post, owned by Amazon billionaire founder Jeff Bezos, reports that the plan could incorporate “Apple Watches, Fitbits, Amazon Echo and Google Home,” as well as ” fMRIs, tractography and image analysis.”

    Here’s the big lie: Wright’s group promises that privacy will be “safeguarded,” profiling “avoided” and data protection capabilities a “cornerstone of this effort.”

    There’s so much bullcrap packed in that statement it should be banned as a global warming pollutant. Anything involving Google should trigger automatic danger warnings of invasive data mining. We do not need the federal government partnering with Google to red-flag citizens. We need the federal government to red-flag Google.

  20. Google ‘leaked’ personal data to other companies, rival claims

    Google is using an opaque system to “leak” personal information about its users to outside companies, according to new research by rival web browser Brave.

    Brave’s chief policy officer Johnny Ryan on Wednesday accused Google of violating European privacy laws and its own policies with a “workaround” that allows the tech giant to share identifying information about its users with other companies for advertising purposes.

  21. TODAY WAS A VERY DARK DAY FOR BRITISH DEMOCRACY – THE POLITICAL CLASS HAS TAKEN BACK CONTROL – FROM THE PEOPLE
    Probably their most perverse and insulting claim is that they are standing up for parliamentary sovereignty. This is the opposite of the truth. They are ravaging parliamentary sovereignty. These are the people who over the past 40 years have green-lighted the outsourcing of huge swathes of parliament’s authority to Brussels, and whose very efforts to destroy Brexit run counter to parliament’s own handing of that decision to us, the people, and its insistence that it would respect the decision that we made. It was the vote for Brexit, the vote to take back control from the EU, that was a genuine expression of faith in the institution of parliamentary democracy. In contrast, the elite’s ceaseless war on Brexit is a war on parliamentary sovereignty too, since the ultimate aim of this war is to retain the law-making authority of foreign institutions at the expense of our own institutions. The elite’s claim to be defending democracy is a brazen lie. It is crushing democracy. It is revolting against the people and the decision we made in 2016. How grotesque for Jeremy Corbyn to say this evening that parliament has struck a blow for the idea that ‘sovereignty rests’ in the people. It has done no such thing. In fact it has elevated the political authority of an out-of-touch and increasingly hysterical elite over the largest democratic decision ever made by the British people. Brexit is now seriously, perhaps irreversibly, wounded. Whatever comes next, including the General Election, must be used by democrats across the country to remake the democratic cry of 2016 and to reassert the sovereignty of the people and our parliament over the presumed wisdom of Britain’s own elites and the alleged expertise of foreign technocrats. If they void the millions of votes cast in 2016, they void the right to vote itself. We cannot let them win. Brendan O’Neill

  22. US Offers $15Mln Reward for Info That Can Help Disrupt IRGC’s ‘Financial Tools’ as New Sanctions Announced (sputniknews, Sep 4, 2019)
    https://sputniknews.com/us/201909041076722045-us-announces-new-iran-related-sanctions/

    “According to the US Treasury Department, the individuals include a former Iranian oil minister and his son, as well as subsidiaries of an Indian company with an interest in the Adrian Darya tanker, formerly the Grace 1.

    The United States has added to the Iran-related sanctions list entities, ships, and individuals allegedly directed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) for reportedly providing Syria with oil worth tens of millions of dollars in breach of US sanctions.

    “Treasury’s action against this sprawling petroleum network makes it explicitly clear that those purchasing Iranian oil are directly supporting Iran’s militants and terrorist arm, the IRGC-Qods Force”, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement.

    The Treasury Department explained that the complex network of intermediaries enables the IRGC-QF to obfuscate its involvement in selling Iranian oil.

    “The IRGC-QF also relies heavily on Hezbollah officials and front companies to broker associated contracts”, the Treasury said in a release. “OFAC also is issuing a new shipping advisory to the maritime community warning of these types of schemes and the sanctions risks associated with blocked persons”.

    The Treasury Department noted that this spring alone the network employed more than a dozen vessels to transport nearly 10 million barrels of crude oil, predominantly to the Syrian government, that sold for more than half a billion dollars.

    The network also sold nearly four million barrels of condensate and hundreds of thousands of barrels in gas oil, bringing in another quarter-billion dollars, it said.

    10 individuals, 16 entities, and 11 vessels have been added to the sanctions list.

    “The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) took action against a large shipping network that is directed by and financially supports the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) and its terrorist proxy Hizballah”, the release said. “Over the past year, the IRGC-QF has moved oil worth hundreds of millions of dollars or more through this network for the benefit of the brutal [Syrian President Bashar] Assad regime, Hizballah, and other illicit actors”.

    More Sanctions on Iran Coming
    The US will impose more sanctions on Iran and is not looking to grant any exceptions or waivers during its maximum pressure campaign, US Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook stated.

    “We did sanctions today. There will be more sanctions coming. We can’t make it any more clear that we are committed to this campaign of maximum pressure and we are not looking to grant any exceptions or waivers”, Brian Hook said.

    Hook continued by saying that there has been no concrete proposal from the US’ European partners to extend a credit line to Iran.

    “There is no concrete proposal, we have no idea if there will be one, there is no proposal so we’re not going to comment on something that doesn’t exist”, Hook said when asked if the United States would support a French or European proposal to grant Iran a line of credit.

    According to multiple media reports, France is proposing a $15 billion credit line for Tehran in an attempt to save the nuclear deal.

    Reward for Info to Disrupt IRGC’s Financial Mechanisms
    In the meantime, the US State Department has offered a $15 million reward for information leading to the disruption of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ financial mechanisms.

    “The US Department of State’s Rewards for Justice (RFJ) is offering a reward of up to $15 million for information leading to the disruption of the financial mechanisms of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its branches, including the IRGC-Qods Force (IRGC-QF). This includes seeking information on the IRGC’s illicit oil sales, including via oil tankers like the Adrian Darya”, the note said.

    The new sanctions come just a day after the US government sanctioned Iran’s space agency and two research centres for activities linked to Tehran’s ballistic missile programme.

    For months, the United States has been stepping up its sanctions on Iran as part of its “maximum pressure” campaign, which aims to force the Islamic Republic to renegotiate the landmark 2015 international nuclear deal. Tehran increased uranium enrichment activities in early August just over a year after the Trump administration exited the accord.”

    • UK: Boris Johnson attacked for ‘derogatory and racist remarks’

      Labour Party MP for Slough Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi aimed a stinging attack at UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson for “derogatory and racist remarks” made by the Prime Minister in the past, speaking during a heated debate on Brexit in London’s House of Commons, on Tuesday.

      “Mr. Speaker, if I decide to wear a turban, or you decide to wear a cross, or he decides to wear a kippah or a scull cap, or she decides to wear a hijab or a burka, does that mean that it is open season for right honourable members of this house to make derogatory and divisive remarks about our appearance?” asked Dhesi.

      “For those of us who from a young age have had to endure and face up to being called names such as ‘towel head’ or ‘Taliban’ or ‘coming from Bongo Bongo land’, we can appreciate full well the hurt and pain felt by already vulnerable Muslim women, when they are described as looking like ‘bank robbers’ and ‘letter boxes’,” the MP for Slough continued.

      “Rather than hide behind sham and whitewash investigations, when will the Prime Minister finally apologise for his derogatory and racist remarks? [applause]. Racist remarks, Mr. speaker, which have led to spike in hate crimes. And given the increasing prevalence of such incidents within his party, when will the Prime Minister finally order an inquiry into Islamophobia within the Conservative Party? Something which he and his Chancellor promised on national television,” he added.

      Johnson replied that he heads “the most diverse cabinet in history.”

      Johnson faces questions by MPs in the aftermath of Tuesday’s vote, where MPs voted to take control of the parliamentary agenda, to pass legislation aimed at preventing a no-deal Brexit.

      Tory rebels and opposition MPs united to defeat the government by a majority of 27. The 328 – 301 result, with 21 Tory MPs crossing the line, is widely considered to be a major defeat for Johnson.

    • Now, knowing that it was only by the time of the sixth guru, (the fifth guru Guru Arjan Sahib was the first Sikh Guru to be tortured (for 5 days) and martyred by muslims for his refusal to convert to islam), that the Sikhs realized they had to defend themselves from the rape and plunder of muslims to survive, so that they developed a warrior code.

  23. Former Head of Shin Bet Tells Unbelievable Story About Arch Terrorist Yasser Arafat

    …Dichter recalled receiving a troubled call from a Shin Bet officer who noted that Arafat “looked taller” upon his return to Israel from Egypt.

    “There was a convoy of Mercedes,” recalled Dichter, “and my guy says, ‘I have no doubt that Arafat is smuggling someone in his car.'”

    Despite not being able to check the cars due to stipulations in the Olso Accords, after “15-20 minutes later and we already had all the intel,” said Dichter.

    “Four arch-terrorists were smuggled in the convoy of the PA President Arafat. Three terrorists were in the trunks of each Mercedes, and the fourth, Jihad al-Amarin, was lying on the back seat and Arafat was sitting on top of him.”

  24. Ex-candidate says Liberals knew about controversial posts before ouster

    A recently ousted Liberal candidate says the party knew about his controversial social media posts well before he was turfed as the nominee in a Montreal riding.

    Hassan Guillet told reporters today he met officials with the federal party on Aug. 8 to discuss the old posts. He says the Liberals were convinced he was neither racist not anti-Semitic.

    But they revoked his nomination in the Saint-Leonard-Saint-Michel riding last Friday after a Jewish advocacy group unearthed the series of old statements he made on social media that were critical of Israel and U.S. foreign policy.

    He says he and the Liberals had already discussed an action plan that involved outreach to the Jewish community.

    Guillet says that action plan was scheduled to be set in motion the day he was sacked.

    He added his posts were public, and the party knew or should have known about them when they vetted him in 2017.

    The former imam says he wants to run in October’s federal election as a Liberal, but doesn’t rule out running for another party or as an Independent if he’s not reinstated.

    cbc – Ousted Liberal candidate says party was aware of his online comments for weeks

    B’nai Brith, Conservatives allege Hassan Guillet posted anti-Semitic comments online

    Ousted Liberal candidate Hassan Guillet admits to posting online about a Hamas-aligned activist, but says the party was well aware of his comments and were even working on a public relations plan before they withdrew his nomination.

    Last week, the Liberal Party dumped Guillet as a candidate in Quebec after a Jewish human rights group accused him of making a number of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel statements.

    In a statement posted to its website Friday, B’nai Brith Canada said Guillett praised a Hamas-aligned activist, Raed Salah, and had a history of making anti-Semitic comments on social media. The group said it reached out to the Liberal Party more than a week ago to make it aware of their allegations against him.

    The Conservative Party also called for his withdrawal.

    Later that day, the Liberal Party said Guillet’s “insensitive comments” don’t align with the party’s values and revoked his candidacy in the riding of Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel.

    Guillet held a press conference in the riding on Wednesday, sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with supporters. He said the party was aware of the contents of his Facebook page since at least Aug. 8 and already had discussed an action plan that involved reaching out to the Jewish community.

    Guillet, a member of the Council of Quebec Imams who gained national attention after delivering a speech in Quebec City honouring victims of the Quebec mosque shooting, said he did congratulate Salah after he was released from prison but insisted he wasn’t aware of his background.

    Liberals say decision is final

    “The party either knew or should have known what it contained. Why, then, if these words were so problematic, why was my candidacy … accepted?” he said. “One is entitled to ask the question, was it incompetence or bad faith?

    “I am not anti-Semitic. On the contrary, I campaigned and I will always campaign against all forms of racism, including Islamophobia and anti-Semitism.”

    Guillet said a member of the Liberal Party approached him Friday and said he could resign for personal reasons — or the party would withdraw its support.

    The Liberal Party isn’t changing its mind.

    “Following an internal review, the Liberal Party of Canada took the appropriate steps to remove Mr. Guillet as the Liberal candidate for the riding of Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel. That decision is final,” said party spokesperson Parker Lund in an email Wednesday.

    Neither is B’nai Brith Canada.

    “Today’s press conference only confirms our position that Hassan Guillet is not fit to carry the Liberal Party banner,” said Michael Mostyn, the group’s chief executive officer.

    “We are satisfied with our role in exposing his anti-Semitic statements, and disappointed that he spurned an opportunity to retract them.”

  25. Italian Police Fear New Leftist Coalition Will Be ‘Anti-Police’ (breitbart, Sep 4, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/09/04/italian-police-fear-new-leftist-coalition-will-be-anti-police/

    “Several sources within the police and a major Italian police union have expressed concern that the proposed Five Star Movement (M5S) coalition with the left-wing Democratic Party could harm officers.

    A policeman, who wished to remain anonymous, said that the general feeling among officers was a concern that the Democratic Party (PD) would work against the interests of police once they come to power, Il Giornale reports.

    “The feelings are conflicting because everyone has his own political ideas. But in general, many are worried that now those who are against the police will return to power,” the officer said.

    The sentiment was backed by Italian police union Italia Celere whose secretary Andrea Cecchini stated: “We do not do politics but the facts and historical data tell us that M5S and PD are the two parties that hurt the police the most.”

    Valter Mazzetti, secretary-general of the FSP, another police union, said he was worried that the new coalition may undo pro-police policies passed by populist leader and interior minister Matteo Salvini, such as the introduction of tasers.

    “Think for example of the taser, inserted with difficulty by the Interior Ministry: Pd and M5S in different cities opposed its introduction. And they weren’t even together in the government. Will the taser end up in oblivion?” he said.

    The fears come after Mr Salvini passed a number of pro-police policies as part of his second migration and security decree, policies that were praised by police and police unions in June.

    The decree included measures aimed at preventing violence against officers by increasing penalties for their attackers at demonstrations, sports events, or concerts.

    Democratic Party leader Nicola Zingaretti has also made it clear that he wants to scrap the anti-mass migration policies in the decrees and reopen Italy’s ports to migrant transport NGOs.”

  26. Trans-Feminist’ Vegan Group Releases Pro-Chicken Video Where Hens Are Separated by Roosters Who Rape Them Without Consent
    Jim Hoft by Jim Hoft September 4, 2019 355 Comments

    Almas Veganas, a transfeminist vegan group from Spain, recently released a video where they argue that hens should be separated from roosters who are out to rape them without consent.

    This is the modern day left in the West — complete crackpots.

    The activists have concerns about the hens’ abilities to consent.

    Worse yet… They take themselves seriously.

    National File reported:

    Almas Veganas, a vegan group from Girona, Spain, are an anti-speciesist and transfeminist group who were recently seen in a viral video separating hens from cockerels and smashing eggs because they didn’t ‘want the hens to be raped.’

    The group from the north-east of Spain, in Catalonia, surprised social media users with their actions but expressed a desire to prevent the hens from being subjected to rape from the cockerels.

    They also pointed to issues concerning the hens’ abilities to consent.

    According to the Daily Mail:

    The vegans add: ‘The hens do not want to be mounted and always try to escape. They are sometimes seriously injured by the cocks’ claws as well.’

    Here is the video:

  27. CURL: ‘Facts’ Are Dead In Today’s Political World, Replaced By Personal ‘Truth’
    Avatar by Joseph Curl September 4, 2019 81 Comments

    Do “facts” exist anymore? Or are we all living in alternative realities, where we everyone has their own set of facts?

    It sounds silly, but it’s all too real.

    Just days after President Trump moved into the White House in 2017, top aide Kellyanne Conway kicked off the whole game. During a “Meet the Press” appearance, she was asked about the size of the crowd at the inauguration — yes, that was an actual news story — and she said then-press secretary Sean Spicer “gave alternative facts” to dispute claims that there was a paltry crowd.

    In a fantastic twist you couldn’t have made up, “journalist” Dan Rather blasted Conway (yes, the guy who used “alternative facts” when he claimed former President George W. Bush never served in the Texas Air National Guard and got booted from his CBS News anchor chair).

    It’s all gone downhill since then.

    Now, “facts” have become fungible. Every day, both side cite “facts” — often diametrically opposed “facts” — to support their arguments. Fact-checkers swing into action, with liberal sites backing Democrats’ “facts” and conservative sites validating Republicans’ “facts.”

  30. BREAKING: Obama’s White House Counsel Greg Craig Found NOT GUILTY in Ukraine Lobbying Case

    Obama’s former White House counsel Greg Craig was acquitted on Wednesday after a federal jury deliberated for four hours.

    This is our two-tiered justice system playing out in real time — Manafort is in prison, but Greg Craig, a high-profile Democrat, walks free.

    Greg Craig was facing one charge on a felony-false statement related to his lobbying work in Ukraine after corrupt Obama judge Amy Berman Jackson dropped the second charge against Craig.

    Greg Craig was indicted by a federal grand jury in April on charges stemming from Mueller’s probe related to work he did for Ukraine in 2012.

    Craig, 74, served as legal counsel for Obama from 2009 to 2010 and worked as senior legal counsel to Bill Clinton during his impeachment.

    Craig was a partner in the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, which entered into a multi-million dollar settlement with the DOJ over its work in Ukraine.

  32. 29-Year-Old Communist Bartender AOC Lectures Navy SEAL on How to Handle Firearms

    Communist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) on Wednesday lectured Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) on how to handle firearms.

    Dan Crenshaw served as a Navy SEAL for 10 years including 5 tours of duty in the Middle East and South Korea.

    Crenshaw lost his right eye in 2012 after an IED detonated near him in Afghanistan.

    But the 29-year-old bartender knows more about firearms and the 2nd Amendment than Crenshaw.

    Crenshaw defended the 2nd Amendment on Tuesday after yet another story about an armed woman who defended herself from five men who tried to rob her.

  33. Does US buy weapons for ISIS? Security analyst and ex-UK army officer Charles Shoebridge talks to RT

    Millions of weapons made in Serbia have reportedly fallen into the hands of Islamic State fighters in Yemen and Syria – after they were bought by the United States and its allies, according to documents seen by a Bulgarian investigative journalist.
