Spain: Street Battles Between Migrants and Natives After Elderly Man Allegedly Beaten by Moroccan Youths
…
Open combat between native Spaniards and migrant groups broke out over the past two evenings in the Torre-Pacheco municipality following a group of young Moroccan males allegedly beating an elderly man in the area.
Roaming bands of migrants clashed with nationalist anti-mass migration groups in the Murcian municipality of Torre-Pacheco on Friday and Saturday evening, in what has been described as a “spiral of violence” by the local La Verdad newspaper.
According to the paper, various “ultra” right-wing groups organised anti-migration demonstrations on Friday after an attack on an elderly man allegedly at the hands of a group of young Moroccan migrants earlier that day. Tensions broke out after they came in contact with large groups of mostly North African migrants, sparking outright street battles.
…
The president of the residents’ association of Roldán, the largest district in the municipality, Antonio José Martínez, condemned the violence. Still, rather than attributing it to the “far-right”, he blamed a “weariness over the incessant crime rate of the last ten or fifteen years.”
…..
Indeed, the times, they are a-changing. And these times – they also are getting more violent, criminal and all the bad things.
Obviously, fault of ‘the times’, nothing else to see here, keep moving on without questioning…
We are going to see a lot more vigilante action in all nations as the left wing continues its war on what is left of civilization. This will continue until new governments form, governments that will have the trust of the people, which is going to be very hard for them to get thanks to the way the left has been attacking every thing that is rational.
France: Far-Left LGBTQ+ Activist Accused of Running Darknet Pedophile Ring

Note: and they object to the term ‘groomers’, even when it is used in the ideological, not sexual manner. Yeah, pull the other one…
And ‘they’ say crime does not pay:

Note: as a legal refugee, I went through great hardships never to break the laws of the country I was coming into. Got legal visas, asked for refugee status at first possible instance, followed all international laws (thought that meant ‘rougher’ UN refugee camp conditions (by a lot)). Got locked up until my identity an Interpol status was confirmed, even washroom breaks were scarce and watched by armed guards – and rightfully so!
People who do not do that are not refugees or migrants, they are invaders or trafficked victims, as in the case of the 8 year old girl unable to speak (from screaming) or walk, as semen from 68 individuals had been found in her vagina once she had been taken to a US hospital. An 8 year old, raped by at least 68 different men, some multiple times: that is the reality of the illegal immigration being glorified by 2x a year (when younger, multiple years) visiting Cuba on Castro’s dime – Karen Bass herself and her ilk.
That means she saw the slave labour in communist Cuba, but, because she was the pampered elite, she thought it her due and is now implementing it in the US.
A tragedy!
Sorry, I have to unplug for a while again or I will go insane. What I willingly risked my life to escape from and put up with the abuse in UN refugee camp – it has followed me (flowered, not borne fruit yet, but easy to recognize) and I have nowhere left to run.

Jeffrey Epstein Was Israeli Spy’: Tucker Carlson Stuns US Amid ‘No Client List’ Row| Trump| Bondi
Hindu Times – July 13, 2025
Jeffrey Epstein and the whole constellation of people around him begins @ 17:08…
Eventually he’ll marginalize himself and we’ll forget how to spell his name. Decent people won’t want to be seen on his platform.
That hit on Bill Ackman was shocking. The only motive was to associate him with a criminal – because he’s also a rich J. Obviously he knows nothing about Bill except he can’t get him to appear on his show.
… and the hits just keep on coming!

Russia’s Lavrov warns US against ‘exploiting’ alliances as he meets with Kim Jong Un in North Korea

Shoigu was the worst.
Lavrov is smarter, more polished. No saint, but worth listening to. He’s got a wicked, dry sense of humor that goes over every interviewer’s head. I listen in Russian at half speed.
I used to whine when WrathOfKhan posted horrid stuff from places like Middle East Eye or Tasnim or Sputnik. Then I made a game for myself by trying to predict the contents of their articles as closely as I could. I got pretty good.
When Ukraine was invaded in 2022 my Russki and I read everything, several languages between us. We didn’t care about politics; we were just trying to tamp down the panic about the family there.
Then I started digging into the backgrounds of some of the popular writers in English. Everybody in Judge Nap’s stable was dirty. Ghastly stuff.
Others I dropped include the late [unlamented] Gonzalo Lira, Jeffrey Sachs, “Pepe Escobar”, and the loathsome Mearshimer. Needless to say I shudder just seeing the names of operatives for the IRI, like Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate.
You are right, I stopped trusting him shortly after he left FOX.
Scary that he boasts of his personal relationship with PT.

Fantastic new film just released. You can watch it right here for free. “Inside the Vaccine Trials.” Every American should watch this to see how the drug companies lied to us and the US government covered it up.

Doomsday: Ukraine ‘Prepares’… For Elections
Putin Urges Iran to Take “Zero Enrichment” Nuclear Deal with U.S.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has told both President Trump and Iranian officials that he supports the idea of a nuclear deal in which Iran is unable to enrich uranium, sources familiar with those discussions tell Axios. Moscow has encouraged the Iranians to agree to “zero enrichment,” according to three European officials and one Israeli official with knowledge of the issue.
Two sources said the Russians also briefed the Israeli government about Putin’s position regarding Iran’s uranium enrichment. “We know that this is what Putin told the Iranians,” a senior Israeli official said. However, “the Iranians said they won’t consider it,” said one European official.

Red Flags Everywhere: How U.S. Public Opinion Is Tilting toward Palestinians
The view of unbreakable American support for Israel may be a political mantra that may be true now, but a closer look at trends among the American population will show that a conceptual change may be taking place in full view.
A few “red flags” are out there. The most glaring is the precipitous increase in antisemitism… Hillel reports a 700% increase in antisemitic incidents against Jewish students. The recent overt acts of violence resulting in Jewish deaths in Washington and Boulder lend credence to these sentiments.
If people are moving toward having less of a favorable attitude towards Israel, it is only a matter of time before the politicians that represent them do the same…
If the political balance in the U.S. swings over from what we see today, the policy ramifications may be grave. Taking today’s America for granted may be understandable, but taking tomorrow’s America for granted may be simply foolish.

Of course Red-Green is the heavy-weight enemy. But my worry is the Woke-Right.
The ‘America First’ element resonates with the principles of the political party that coined the expression in the 1930s. (FDR proved to be Red-adjacent so it’s not such a stretch.)
Who was cheering [x]ucker Carlson at Turning Point USA? Was no one else appalled by the litany of resentments spun around a single axis – the archetypical villain for millennia?
Who’s connecting the dots and feeling vindicated? Am I to assume that the [x]uckers and MTGs will be our allies when the civil war balloon goes up in the USA?
Or is this all another dialectical weapon to tear everything down? Which it probably is. But knowing this doesn’t change what I perceive to be the threat environment.
Never think the coming civil war is going to be just 2 sides, it will be 6 or more all fighting each other while blaming the other groups. It’s going to get very tangled and confused for almost everyone once the kinetic action starts.
Not a reassuring prospect.

Charter Signed by Hundreds of Muslim Scholars Supports Hamas’s October 7 Attack on Israel: It Was Jihad Against the Infidels
On June 27, 2025, hundreds of religious scholars and clerics from across the Muslim world held a conference in Istanbul, Turkey, and issued the “Charter of the Islamic Nation’s Religious Scholars” to give religious sanction to Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel and to reject calls to disarm Hamas.
The charter states, similarly to the ideology of the Hamas movement itself, that the conflict with Israel is a religious one between Muslims and infidels, and that Hamas’s “resistance” against Israel constitutes “jihad for the sake of Allah.”
According to the charter, Palestine “from the river to the sea” – namely all of Israel’s territory – is Islamic land, and anyone who gives up any part of it is a traitor. It says the demand to disarm Hamas is “treason against Allah” and it highlights the necessity of educating the younger generation to wage jihad for the sake of Allah.
Many of the signatories are senior members of the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS) based in Doha, Qatar, and backed by the Qatari and Turkish regimes.

David Daoud:
Why Hizbullah Sat Out Iran’s War with Israel
Iran spent decades building Hizbullah as its first line of defense to deter Israel or the U.S. from attacking the Islamic Republic and its nuclear capabilities, and for retaliation in case that deterrence failed. Yet, the first direct Iran-Israel war came and went, but Hizbullah was nowhere to be found. Hizbullah, with Iran’s blessing, is prioritizing survival and desperately wants to avoid renewed conflict with Israel.
Domestic factors influenced Hizbullah to remain inactive. The overwhelming majority of Lebanese, except for the Shiites, are fed up with the group arrogating to itself exclusive control over Lebanon’s foreign policies, including when and with whom their country goes to war. They are calling for Hizbullah’s disarmament.
The Trump administration upheld the American letter of assurance [despite vocal French objections] to Israel attached to the ceasefire deal with Hizbullah of Nov. 27, 2024, which grants the Israelis freedom to act against Hizbullah if Lebanon did not.
This allowed Israel to continue relentlessly targeting Hizbullah’s assets and personnel throughout Lebanon and stymie its efforts at regeneration. This left Hizbullah too vulnerable to intervene on Iran’s behalf.…
Still, degraded as it is, Hezbollah remains a threat to Israel’s safety. So much so that in the waning hours of the war, Israel threatened the group, via the U.S. through the Government of Lebanon, with renewed war if it joined Iran’s final barrages before the cease-fire went into effect.
But if Hezbollah retains the ability to worry Israel, then its dissolution and disarmament remain far from a foregone conclusion.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration’s special envoy to Syria, Tom Barrack, is working on exactly that task: Engaging Lebanese officialdom to move forward with confiscating Hezbollah’s arsenal. Expectedly, both Beirut and the group are pushing back – with Lebanon demanding a halt to Israeli operations and a limited withdrawal from the south before declaring Hezbollah will surrender its weapons.
The United States should reject Lebanon’s demands out of hand…

Zionists understand: You can revive reputations, but not dead Israelis
Beware: Decades after Auschwitz, fighting Jews still don’t win popularity contests. The New York Times reports that “Israel Overpowered Its Foes, but Deepened Its Isolation.” After detailing Israel’s mind-boggling military victories, the Times verges on parody by warning: “Yet many Israelis welcome the prospect of a future in which they are no longer surrounded by well-armed enemies determined to do them harm, even if it means being viewed negatively by the rest of the world.”
The “yet” is precious. Somehow those primitive Israelis should have preferred being threatened by Palestinian terrorists, Hezbollah invaders, and Iranian missiles – as long as they remained popular on the Upper West Side. Zionists understand the stark stakes: You can revive reputations – but not dead Israelis.
