    Hey guys, I could not believe what I read the other day.
    Berlin Kreuzberg admits that their problems with unlawfulness and dirt are not brought in by ‘European Tourists’, but are homemade, instead.
    They even want more officers patrolling their streets, now.
    I am amazed.

    “The Federal Security Service (FSB) said Friday it had detained 13 people in 13 Russian regions over plans to commit mass murder.

    Eleven of the detainees were members of the same private internet community.

    Personal diaries of the detainees and the information on their gadgets confirm their plans. They also had guides for making explosives and blueprints for attacking people in schools, law enforcement offices, and crowded spaces.

    According to preliminary reports, one of the suspects planned to kill at least 100 people during a school assembly. Several videos, allegedly depicting the arrests have emerged online.”

  4. UK Home Secretary Patel Claims Facebook ‘Aiding and Abetting’ Migrant Smugglers (sputniknews, Sep 4, 2020)
    https://sputniknews.com/uk/202009041080365117-uk-home-secretary-patel-claims-facebook-aiding-and-abetting-migrant-smugglers/

    “On Wednesday, at least 409 migrants reached the UK, in a new single-day record that brought the total almost to 6,000, about five times higher than compared to the same point in 2019.

    The Telegraph has quoted an unnamed source close to British Home Secretary Priti Patel as saying that social media platforms, including Facebook, add to endangering migrants’ lives as they are giving a helping hand to people smugglers.

    “They are hiding behind semantics. This is content that is aiding and abetting criminals to smuggle people across the borders and they need to take it down. These smugglers are responsible for these crossings and the dangers that sit with them”, the source claimed.

    It added that social media companies’ failure to remove this content is “hampering law enforcement in doing their jobs stopping these people making crossings” and that “by leaving this content on their platforms, they are putting people’s lives at risk”.

    The remarks came after the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) accused Facebook and YouTube of rejecting NCA’s appeals to remove hundreds of posts that promote smuggling services or to block end-to-end encryption aimed at preventing interception of migrant boats by police.

    Rob Jones, director general of threat leadership for the NCA, told MPs from the Home Affairs Committee that in the first five months of this year, the agency referred more than 1,200 pages related to organised immigration crime to social media firms for closure.

    “Now, of those, 578 were closed and 485 were rejected as not breaching terms and conditions. We were very certain when we made these referrals that there was a problem with those accounts. To see that level of attrition with not all those accounts being closed is challenging for us”, Jones pointed out.

    A Facebook spokesperson responded by saying that people smuggling is illegal and that “any ads, posts, pages, or groups that coordinate this activity are not allowed” on the social network. The spokesperson argued that the company closely cooperates with law enforcement agencies across the world, including Europol, “to identify, remove, and report this illegal activity”.

    The remarks follow a record 409 migrants entering the UK, bringing the total nearly to 6,000, about five times higher than the same period last year.

    Over the past several years, the UK has seen thousands of migrants, mostly from war-stricken countries in Africa and the Middle East, make the perilous journey across the English Channel from France, to arrive on British soil. A source recently told The Sunday Telegraph citing council figures as saying that around one quarter of migrants who have claimed to be children upon arriving in the UK are actually older than 18.”

  5. Former Swedish Politician Rings Alarm Bells Over Islamist Infiltration in Her Country’s Politics (sputniknews, Sep 4, 2020)
    https://sputniknews.com/europe/202009041080362723-former-swedish-politician-rings-alarm-bells-over-islamist-infiltration-in-her-countrys-politics/

    “Former senior Social Democrat Nalin Pekgul, Sweden’s first Muslim woman to serve as MP, has unleashed harsh criticism over her own party and their sidekicks, the Greens, for allowing Islamists to gain traction in Swedish politics.

    Nalin Pekgul, a former MP who chaired the Social Democrats Women’s Union, has castigated the Swedish ruling “red-green” coalition for betraying its values and siding with Islamists in exchange for votes.

    In an interview with the website Kvartal, Pekgul suggested that “Islamists had gained influence everywhere” in Swedish politics.

    The Social Democrats, the party that led Sweden for the most of the 20th century and continues to be in the driver’s seat, albeit with diminished public support so that it has to rely on a coalition with the Greens, should have been much tougher on its filial “Faith and Solidarity” which all but “welcomed” Islamists in the 1990s, according to Pekgul.

    According to her, Islamist groups sent letters to all political parties in 1994 and the Social Democratic faith movement seized the moment to cooperate. Pekgul stressed that these Islamist organisations are well organised and good at flattering and convicing non-Muslims. According to her, the Islamists promised “thousands of votes and members”, an offer the Social Democrats couldn’t turn down. In recent decades, Sweden’s most notorious ethnic enclaves, such as Tensta, Rinkeby, and Husby have been voting overwhelmingly Social Democrat.

    Pekgul is even more critical of the Green Party, which has been involved in a series of scandals involving Islamists and their sympathisers, including then-Housing Minister Mehmet Kaplan dining with Turkish neo-Nazis. According to Pekgul, the Greens lifted all barriers for Islamists.

    “Since then, the Green Party has been the biggest disaster for the country when it comes to Islamists. ‘Faith and Solidarity’ was an accident for the party, but the Greens are an accident for the entire country. The party allowed itself to be completely taken over by these forces. They pursued their policies through the Green Party. Just look at their bills in parliament and opinion pieces they wrote. When [the security police] Säpo wanted to map extremists, they said that Säpo is racist”, Pekgul said.
    Nalin Pekgul said she doesn’t understand how the left could have been deluded by the Islamists’ message of its alleged “anti-racist struggle”, as the Islamists themselves sow misogyny, anti-Semitism, and hate toward sexual minorities.

    In conclusion, she ventured that integration in Sweden will only work when the state, municipalities, and regions stop giving millions of kronors in grants and benefits to movements and individuals who seek to separate people and generate hatred towards Swedish society.

    “If I am to give advice as an old aunt, it is to never let the Green Party control asylum policy and immigration. Never!”, Pekgul concluded, referring to a recent episode, where the Greens, at merely 4.4 percent of the vote, effectively quashed the opposition’s push for a more restrained immigration policy.

    Incidentally, none other than Greens founder Pehr Gahrton has also admitted Islamist infiltration, not least through his own brainchild. In recent years, both independent reviewers and state authorities, including the security police Säpo, have been issuing warnings about Islamists receiving grants from the state.

    Turkish-born Nalin Pekgul is a supporter of “progressive Islam” and an avid campaigner against religious extremism and so-called “honour culture”. Since her heyday, she has left politics and returned to her job as a psychiatric nurse.”

    “FRENCH politicians are fuelling the cross-channel migrant crisis by spreading false claims that it is easy to live undetected in the UK, MP’s said yesterday.

    They claimed that “misconceptions” were encouraging migrants to make the perilous journey by small boat across the English Channel.

Officials giving evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee said the UK is still waiting for an answer from the French government on whether the plane is wanted or not…”

    “US President Donald Trump has pleaded for Iran to spare the life of a ‘great and popular wrestling star’ condemned to death after being convicted of murder.

    Navid Afkarai, 27, was found guilty of the ‘voluntary homicide’ of a water department worker in Shiraz, southern Iran, who was stabbed to death on August 2, 2018, according the judiciary’s Mizan Online news agency.

    ‘Hearing that Iran is looking to execute a great and popular wrestling star, 27-year-old Navid Afkarai, whose sole act was an anti-government demonstration on the streets,’ Trump tweeted in a rare direct appeal to the Iranian government.

    ‘To the leaders of Iran, I would greatly appreciate if you would spare this young man’s life, and not execute him. Thank you!’ he tweeted, tagging a Fox News story on the wrestler and the UFC mixed martial arts organization and its president Dana White.

    Trump is a longtime fan of watching various forms of wrestling and is close to Ms White.

    However, he has taken an aggressive approach to longtime US foe Iran since becoming president, enacting crippling sanctions…”

  10. Co-op Pulls Ads from Spectator for Alleged ‘Anti-Muslim Propaganda’, Transphobia (breitbart, Sep 4, 2020)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/09/04/co-op-pulls-ads-from-spectator-for-alleged-anti-muslim-propaganda-transphobia/

    “The Co-op announced on social media that it would be pulling advertising from The Spectator over alleged “anti-Muslim propaganda” and transphobia — prompting the magazine to ban Co-op from placing adverts with them “in perpetuity” in retaliation.

    The clash was precipitated seemingly by a random social media user, @Lisa_Fajita, contacting the consumer co-operative to complain that they had placed an advert with the right-leaning magazine some years ago, after the so-called Stop Funding Hate campaign alleged that The Spectator is “a magazine notorious for transphobia & ‘anti-Muslim propaganda’.”

    A member of the Co-op’s social media team who identified herself as ‘Alice’ was soon thanking @Lisa_Fajita “for bringing this to our attention”, assuring the user that the retailer was “currently investigation [sic] this with the relevant teams.”

    Shortly thereafter ‘Alice’ blamed the ad on the Co-op’s media buyers, assuring @Lisa-Fajita that “We are taking up the issue with them with a view to them not using this publication again in the future.”

    The Spectator, which at 191-years-old is reportedly the world’s oldest magazine continuously in print, did not take this lying down, however, with executive chairman Andrew Neil soon firing back, also on social media.

    “No need to bother, Co-op,” said Neil, perhaps best known for his work as the BBC’s interrogator-in-chief, quote tweeting ‘Alice’ directly.

    “As of today you are henceforth banned from advertising in The Spectator, in perpetuity,” he announced.

    “We will not have companies like yours use their financial might to try to influence our editorial content, which is entirely a matter for the editor,” he said.

    Contrary to the accusations from Stop Funding Hate and @Lisa_Fajita, The Spectator is not a particularly hard-right outlet, with much of its output leaning socially liberal and economically neoliberal.

    Andrew Neil is also believed to have fired Boris Johnson’s current chief adviser Dominic Cummings from a previous position with the magazine for re-publishing depictions of the Islamic prophet on its website in solidarity with Danish cartoonists being threatened by Muslim radicals, and had them taken down.

    It does, however, host some politically incorrect polemicists and intellectuals such as Rod Liddle and Douglas Murray — and this alone appears to have been enough to put it beyond the pale for social justice activists and firms engaged in “woke capitalism”.”

  11. Over 210,000 Supposed Minor Migrants Have Entered Europe Since 2015 (breitbart, Sep 4, 2020)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/09/04/over-210000-supposed-minor-migrants-have-entered-europe-since-2015/

    “Five years after the height of the European migrant crisis at least 210,000 supposedly underage migrants have applied for asylum in the European Union, according to NGO Save the Children.

    Helena Thybell, Secretary-General of Save the Children, claimed that since the start of the migrant crisis it has become harder for supposedly underage asylum seekers in Europe, with Save the Children criticising the European Union for allegedly neglecting minor asylum seekers.

    “The situation of unaccompanied minors has become considerably more difficult since 2015, both in terms of obtaining a residence permit but also in terms of their life situation in general. And we see this both in Sweden and the rest of Europe,” Thybell told Swedish broadcaster Sveriges Radio.

    “We also see that unaccompanied minors who are about to turn 18 feel particularly bad because they know that they lose many rights when they come of age. And they are at a higher risk of being deported,” she added.

    According to a Save the Children report, many of the supposedly underage migrants end up on the streets of various cities in Europe, at risk of violence and abuse.

    In Berlin, supposedly underage migrants have been recruited by local gangs to deal drugs or have had to resort to prostitution.

    In Paris, meanwhile, gangs of supposedly underage Moroccan migrants living on the streets terrorise residents, committing petty robberies and engaging in violence.

    Last year, an underage Moroccan migrant was arrested in Paris after allegedly going on a random stabbing spree in the northern part of the city and injuring eight people. Following his arrest, the migrant, who was intoxicated, could not explain why he had stabbed them.

    Another issue for several countries since 2015 has been the large number of migrants claiming to be underage but were actually adults.

    Earlier this year, the French department of Côte-d’Or found that only 20 per cent of the migrants they tested who claimed to be underage actually were. In Sweden, in 2017, a study showed that 84 per cent of underage migrants tested were adults.”

  13. Calls for Census After Afghan Govt Minister Found to Be Claiming Welfare in Sweden (breitbart, Sep 4, 2020)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/09/04/sweden-centre-right-moderate-leader-calls-new-census/

    “Moderate Party leader Ulf Kristersson has called for a census, claiming Sweden’s left-wing government has no idea who is actually living in the country.

    The demand for a new census comes after it was revealed that a senior official in the Afghan government, 43-year-old Fazel Fazly, has been collecting parental welfate despite not living in Sweden.

    “We don’t know which people are in the country,” Kristersson said this week, newspaper Aftonbladet reports.

    “This is the second time we have seen it at this spectacular level, which is bad enough. One wonders how many more cases there are, which are not government officials or defence ministers. I think this is incredibly serious,” he added.

    Last year, it was revealed another foreign senior government official, former Iraqi defence minister Najah al-Shammari, who is a dual Iraqi and Swedish citizen, had also illegally taken money from Swedish taxpayers.

    “It is very demoralising for all people who know that there is a connection between working in Sweden, paying taxes, and receiving benefits. I think it’s incredibly harmful that others then sit abroad and just pick the raisins out of the cake,” Kristersson said.

    According to Aftonbladet, the last time Sweden undertook a census was 30 years ago in 1990, and the Swedish Tax Agency believes as many as 200,000 to 300,000 Swedes live at different addresses to those recorded.

    A lack of awareness of who is resident in the country has even led to Sweden paying out cash to Islamic State radicals after they had travelled overseas to fight for the terror group in Syria and Iraq.

    Earlier this week it was also revealed that the Swedish government had paid 1.2 billion Swedish kronor (£104,136,000/$137,400,000) to radical Islamic groups, mainly through the funding of Islamic educational projects and schools.”

  14. Macron decries ‘Islamic separatism,’ defends blasphemy (abcnews, Sep 4, 2020)
    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/macron-decries-islamic-separatism-defends-blasphemy-72814141

    “French President Emmanuel Macron criticized Friday what he called “Islamic separatism” in his country and those who seek French citizenship without accepting France’s “right to commit blasphemy.”

    Macron defended satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, which published caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad that helped inspire two French-born Islamic extremists to mount a deadly January 2015 attack on the paper’s newsroom.

    The weekly republished the images this week as the trial began of 14 people over the attacks on Charlie Hebdo and on a kosher supermarket.

    Speaking at a ceremony Friday celebrating France’s democratic history and naturalizing new citizens, the French president said, “You don’t choose one part of France. You choose France….The Republic will never allow any separatist adventure.”

    Freedom in France, Macron said, includes “the freedom to believe or not to believe. But this is inseparable from the freedom of expression up to the right to blasphemy.”

    Noting the trial that opened Wednesday, he said, “To be French is to defend the right to make people laugh, to criticize, to mock, to caricature.”

    The 2015 attacks killed 17 people and marked the beginning of a wave of violence by the Islamic State group in Europe.

    Macron’s centrist government has promised a law in the coming months against “Islamic separatism” but it is not clear yet exactly what it would police. Some critics fear it could unfairly stigmatize France’s largely moderate Muslim population, the largest in western Europe.”

  15. Dutch appeals court convicts Wilders of insulting Moroccans (abcnews, Sep 4, 2020)
    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/dutch-appeals-court-convicts-wilders-insulting-moroccans-72815763

    “A Dutch appeals court upheld Friday the conviction of anti-Islam lawmaker Geert Wilders for insulting Moroccans in comments he made at an election night gathering in 2014. However, the court overturned Wilders’ conviction for inciting discrimination.

    The appeals court did not punish Wilders for his conviction on the charge of insulting a group, which he can appeal to the Dutch Supreme Court.

    The comments for which Wilders was convicted “can contribute to polarization within Dutch society, while in our democratic, pluralistic society respect for others, especially minority groups, is of great importance,” said Presiding Judge Jan Maarten Reinking.

    Wilders, whose political career has been based largely on his strident anti-Islam rhetoric, was convicted in December 2016 of insulting and inciting discrimination against Moroccans in 2014. He was not given a punishment.

    Speaking to reporters outside court, Wilders slammed the case as a “political trial” and said the court “has dumped freedom of speech in the garbage. Not only for me, but for everybody.”

    The Party for Freedom leader has always insisted he is innocent and branded his prosecution a politically-motivated attempt to muzzle him and an attack on the freedom of speech. The appeals court rejected his claims of political interference in the case and said that free speech also has limits.

    Friday’s conviction was based on comments Wilders made on the night of Dutch municipal elections in 2014 at a meeting in a Hague cafe. In what appeals judges said was a carefully prepared exchange, Wilders asked supporters whether they wanted more or fewer Moroccans in the Netherlands. That sparked a chant of “Fewer! Fewer! Fewer!” — to which he replied, “we’ll take care of it.”

    The ruling Friday comes some six months before national parliamentary elections in the Netherlands. According to a poll of polls, Wilders’ party is the largest opposition party.

    Explaining why Wilders was not given a punishment Friday, Reinking said noted that Wilders has lived for years under tight security due to threats.

    “The accused has already for years paid a high price for expressing his opinion,” Reinking said.”

      ‘Kick Out the French’ and ‘Boycott French products’ are written on signs held by protesters, as protests erupt in Pakistan following the decision of the French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, the target of a jihadist attack in 2015, to reprint a front cover depicting Allah.
      Wednesday’s issue featured a dozen cartoons mocking the prophet of Islam, including images that sparked huge protests when first published, to mark the start of the trial this week of alleged accomplices to the 2015 massacre.

      Protesters called for boycotts of French products and for the country’s ambassador to be expelled from Pakistan.

  19. Hunter Biden-Beijing Deals Served ‘Strategic Interests of Chinese Military’, New Documentary Claims (sputniknews, Sep 4, 2020)
    https://sputniknews.com/us/202009041080366575-hunter-biden-beijing-deals-served-strategic-interests-of-chinese-military-new-documentary-claims/

    “The film, which was released on YouTube earlier this week, features a spate of deals that Hunter Biden was allegedly involved in as a board member of a Beijing-based investment company during Obama’s presidency.

    A new documentary has claimed that business activity in China conducted by Hunter Biden, son of the US Democratic presidential nominee, under President Barack Obama, served Beijing’s “strategic interests” and may have damaged US national security.

    The 41-minute film, called “Riding the Dragon: The Bidens’ Chinese Secrets”, was posted by the Blaze TV network on YouTube in six segments earlier this week. Joe Biden’s election campaign has not commented on the issue yet.

    “This explosive documentary uncovers the business deals, financial transactions, and secret agreements that took place between Hunter Biden’s businesses and the Chinese government, all while Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States”, a Blaze TV trailer to the documentary underlines.

    Narrated by best-selling writer Peter Schweizer, the movie specifically features several deals that Hunter Biden was involved in as a board member of the Beijing-based investment company BHR Partners.

    The agreements include a 2015 joint venture between BHR Partners and AVIC Auto, a subsidiary of the state-run Aviation Industry Corp. of China (AVIC), which manufactures aircraft for the Chinese military.

    The deal stipulated purchasing the US autoparts maker Henniges Automotive which is thought to make “dual-use” products for both civilian and military purposes.

    The film also highlights BHR’s investment in the China General Nuclear Power Corp., the former state-run power company, in 2014.

    The documentary argues that Hunter Biden was only able to meet Chinese officials and secure at least $1 billion in funding “because of who his father was: vice president of the United States” and then-President Barack Obama’s “point person on US policy towards China”.

    Schweizer, in turn, claimed in the documentary that “Hunter’s new firm […] began making investment deals around the world that would serve the strategic interests of the Chinese government” and those of “the Chinese military”.

    He described the agreements as something that “didn’t just make the Bidens money” but also “had potentially dangerous consequences for our [US] national security” as well.

    The film was released after the former US vice president’s son was embroiled in a major scandal last year after Republicans accused him of accepting a cushy $50,000-a-month job with a Ukrainian energy company in 2014 in exchange for access to the White House under then-US President Barack Obama. The Biden family has vehemently denied the allegations.”

    On August 26, 2020, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an gave a speech at Manzikert National Park in Turkey at an event celebrating the 949th anniversary of the Battle of Manzikert.

    He said that for Turkey, conquest is not occupation or looting.

    Rather, he said that it removes oppression and brings Allah’s justice to the conquered region.

    He said that Turkey will claim its right in the Mediterranean, Aegean, and Black seas, that it will do whatever is necessary politically or militarily, that it will never cede any of its territory, and that its patience, capabilities, or courage are not to be tested.

    He added: “If there is anyone who wants to stand against us and pay the price, let them come.”

    Texas County Drops From 4600+ Active Covid Cases to Under 100 After Audit
    Source: Kit Daniels | Infowars.com

    Doubting the accuracy of State of Texas Covid-19 numbers, Collin Co., Texas, dropped its active case numbers from over 4600 to under 100 overnight after an audit.

    Earlier this month, Collin Co.’s ‘Covid-19 Dashboard’ claimed over 4600 active cases in the county based on data provided by the Texas Dept. of State Health Services, prompting county officials to question the accuracy of the data because, presumably, the county’s hospitals weren’t overloaded.

    Facebook is officially designating the actions of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who allegedly killed two people and wounded another in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after being mobbed and attacked by rioters, a “mass murder,” despite the fact that this has not been proven in court. Facebook confirmed that it would remove any posts that support Rittenhouse.

    Conservative author and YouTube personality Mark Dice reported that his Facebook page had received a threat of suspension after he posted a video of Rittenhouse offering to give medical assistance to wounded protesters in Kenosha shortly before the shooting.

    “Facebook just removed a video I posted showing Kyle Rittenhouse offering help to a wounded protester in Kenosha,” said Dice, who also posted the video on Twitter.

    Facebook, he said, is now “threatening to delete my entire account.”

  27. Zimbabwe: Chinese Invade Hwange National Park to Mine for Coal

    Two Chinese companies are reportedly exploring for coal in the protected Hwange National Park, raising concerns from wildlife activists.

    Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (Zimparks) rangers reportedly arrested some Chinese nationals inside the game park after finding doing some drilling.

    The parks rangers handed them over to police only to be released and returned to the site with a permit allowing them to dig.

    A statement from one of the leading wildlife conservation organisations, Bhejane Trust, stated that SustiGlobal and Zimbabwe Zhongxin Coal Mining Group are mining in Sinamatela and Robins Camp between Hwange and Victoria Falls.

    Bhejane Trust, which confirmed authoring the statement, said SustiGlobal had circulated questionnaires seeking the views of concerned stakeholders about establishing a mine in the game park.

    “Our Rhino monitoring team recently found some Chinese in Hwange National Park. We managed to ascertain they were drilling core samples for coal. Zimparks arrested them and took them to police.

    “However, they soon reappeared with a permit giving them the right to carry on in the Park with exploratory drilling,” said Bhejane Trust which is based in Victoria Falls.

    The trust said it was worried because the exploration work was being done without any consultation, as even Zimparks area manager was not aware of the goings on

  28. WARNING: GRAPHIC. Radio Free Elk has obtained the pre-sentence report for sex offender Joseph Rosenbaum, shot in Kenosha last month. Many have wondered what Rosenbaum’s sex offense was. We can tell you now he molested 5 children ranging in age from 9 to 11 years old

  29. According to a June 10th article in Black Enterprise, corporations had pledged over $1.5 billion to Black Lives Matter in the wake of the George Kirby arrest resistance fiasco, ostensibly for the purpose of signaling their virtue. Amazingly, this figure nevertheless represented the “paucity of corporations and the stinginess of donations.”

    It’s never enough for some people.

    With an array of structures designed to obfuscate the total sum of donations to Black Lives Matter, exact dollar amounts are hard to come by. Given that it raised over $100 million in 2016 alone, and in addition to the enormous pledge in just a few weeks this summer, it would be fair to estimate that $2-3 billion easily entered the coffers. Since it is a non-taxed entity, every dollar it receives stays put.

  30. Biden accidentally reads instruction from his staff as part of scripted answer for TV interview
    By Ben Bowles September 3, 2020

    Sometimes Joe Biden’s verbal glitches are not the result of his tripping over his words, suddenly losing his train of thought, or a memory lapse. They are no less revealing, however, of his lack of preparedness to tackle the awesome responsibility of running a country the magnitude of the United States.

    Take his performance in a one-on-one interview given on Tuesday from his basement bunker. If there was any doubt that the former vice president wasn’t working from a script prepared by his handlers, it was erased when he read aloud the incomprehensible phrase “Venezuela top line messages.” This was obviously a subhead his writers had loaded onto the teleprompter to introduce a particular talking point. It was not meant to be read aloud. As Weasel Zippers notes, it also seems to suggest he has been given the questions in advance.

  31. Biden jokes about being ‘shot’ … in KENOSHA
    By Guest Post September 4, 2020

    After this, Biden’s handlers must be desperately brainstorming ways to get him back in the basement.

    If he’s so thick that he can’t understand why making light of taking a bullet would be badly received in Kenosha mere days after lethal riots over a police shooting, how does he expect to handle delicate international diplomacy with easily offended rival heads of state? (RELATED: Biden accidentally reads instruction from his staff as part of scripted answer for TV interview)

    Here he is cracking wise about being shot.

  32. GERMANY – Prof. Dr. Kai Hafez appointed to the independent expert group on islamophobia

    In order to research Muslim hostility in Germany on behalf of the Federal Ministry of the Interior and to develop proposals for prevention and combating, Horst Seehofer has now appointed twelve representatives from science and practice to the new “Independent Expert Group on Muslim Hostility” (Unabhängiger Expertenkreis Muslimfeindlichkeit UEM). Among the experts is Prof. Dr. Kai Hafez, Professor of Communication Science at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Erfurt.

    Together with his fellow board members, Hafez will now analyze current and changing manifestations of Muslimophobia and examine them for intersections with anti-Semitic attitudes and other forms of group-based misanthropy.

    Prof. Hafez’s research focuses on Islamophobia and the relationship between the Islamic and Western worlds from a communication and political science perspective. In 2015, he was involved in the Bertelsmann Stiftung’s “Religion Monitor: The Perception of Islam in Germany”. Since 2016 he has been a member of the Council for Migration.

    ===================================================

    Innenministerium gründet Expertenkreis gegen Muslimfeindlichkeit

    Zwölf Expertinnen sollen binnen zweier Jahre Empfehlungen für den Kampf gegen Muslimfeindlichkeit abgeben. Als Beispiele dienen Gremien zur Bekämpfung von Antisemitismus.

    Bundesinnenminister Horst Seehofer (CSU) hat einen Expertenrat berufen, der Strategien zur Bekämpfung von Muslimfeindlichkeit ausarbeiten soll. “Muslimfeindliche Haltungen sind nicht nur eine Bedrohung für Muslime, sondern für den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt insgesamt”, sagte Seehofer. Der Unabhängige Expertenkreis Muslimfeindlichkeit (UEM) solle einen Beitrag dazu leisten, dass Staat und Gesellschaft “besser und gezielter dagegen vorgehen können”.

    Zu den Mitgliedern des UEM gehören Expertinnen und Experten aus Wissenschaft und Zivilgesellschaft, die laut Innenministerium “eine breite fachliche Expertise zu Aspekten und Auswirkungen und/oder der Prävention von Muslimfeindlichkeit in verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen repräsentieren”. Neben sechs Universitätsprofessoren gehören auch Mitarbeiterinnen von Bildungs- oder Dokumentationsstätten und Nichtregierungsorganisationen dem zwölfköpfigen Gremium an.

    Antisemitismus- und Antiziganismusprävention als Vorbild

    Der UEM solle “praxisorientierte Ansätze” ausarbeiten, “um Muslimfeindlichkeit zu identifizieren, zu bekämpfen und vorzubeugen”, kündigte Seehofer an. Im Herbst soll der Rat seine Arbeit aufnehmen. Nach Angaben des Innenministeriums soll er sich an ähnlichen Gremien in den Bereichen Antisemitismus und Antiziganismus orientieren. In zwei Jahren soll der UEM einen Abschlussbericht vorlegen.

    Das Innenministerium versteht die Einrichtung “auch als eine Reaktion auf rassistische und muslimfeindliche Vorfälle sowie terroristische Anschläge beziehungsweise Anschlagsplanungen der vergangenen Monate”, heißt es in der Erklärung der Behörde. Die Bundesregierung unterstreiche damit, “dass sie die wachsenden Sorgen und Ängste von Menschen ernst nimmt, die von muslimfeindlichem Hass, Anfeindungen und Übergriffen betroffen sind”.

    Seehofer selbst ist bisher mehrfach für seinen Umgang mit Muslimfeindlichkeit und Rassismus kritisiert worden, etwa für seinen Satz, der Islam gehöre nicht zu Deutschland. Im Sommer kam es ebenfalls zu Kritik an der Amtsführung des Innenministers, nachdem bekannt wurde, dass er eine geplante Studie von Justiz- und Innenministerium über Rassismus bei Polizei und anderen Sicherheitsbehörden blockiert hatte.

    • Azhar lauds Germany for forming committee against animosity to Islam

      CAIRO, Sept 2 (MENA) – Al Azhar Observatory for Fighting Extremism on Wednesday lauded the German Interior Ministry for forming a committee for confronting animosity against Islam.

      In a statement, the observatory said that this animosity does not only constitute a threat to Muslims but to the societal coherence in general.

      The committee includes 12 members and will start activities next month.

      The committee, added the observatory, is a step along the right path towards fighting animosity against Islam, it added.

  33. Aclass-action lawsuit filed in New York City is seeking $2 billion in damages against Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio over the indoor dining ban that still persists in the city even as the rest of the state has been allowed to resume the practice.

    The lawsuit, filed late last month in the state Supreme Court on behalf of several hundred restaurants, argues that Cuomo and de Blasio have enforced “catastrophic” policies against New York City restaurants, continuing a ban on indoor dining there while restaurants throughout New York state have been allowed to re-open their dining rooms.

    It further claims that Cuomo over the past several months has “issued stricter and confusing executive orders” even as the virus remained under control in the city and the state.

  35. Federal Officers Shoot, Kill Antifa Member Suspected in Murder of Trump Supporter Jay Danielson

    If you thought the situation in Portland was bad already, it’s about to get a lot worse. Following the killing of Aaron “Jay” Danielson after a pro-Trump rally rolled through the city on August 29, an avowed Antifa supporter, Michael Forest Reinoehl, was identified as the prime suspect. In a Vice.com interview published yesterday, Reinoehl appeared to confess to the shooting, claiming that he shot Danielson in self-defense after Danielson pulled a knife.
