A couple of technical points before the news links.

Tundra Tabloids is undergoing a few changes and may be offline more than it is on for the next few days to few weeks. KGS certainly deserves a break anyway as he works very hard at this and may take the opportunity to rest up a bit for a while. But fans of his site, don’t write him off, it most likely will be back and faster and better than ever sometime between a week to a month from now.

On a similar note, this site will also be undergoing a few changes. When they are done all that should be different is it should load faster and thats really about all. But until we get all those changes made, posting may be slow and ultimately once its back up the most recent posts at that time may be gone along with attendant comments. No idea exactly when that will be but probably within 14 days from now. Maybe much sooner.

1. French National Front expels founder Jean-Marie Le Pen

Mr Le Pen, who was honorary president, was dismissed after a three-hour extraordinary party congress.

He was initially suspended back in May, after he repeated his view that the Holocaust was “a detail of history”.

Ms Le Pen took over as leader in 2011 and has tried to steer the party away from its racist and anti-Semitic past.

The National Front (FN) was founded by Mr Le Pen in 1972. The 86-year-old still holds a seat in the European Parliament and a post as a regional councillor in the south of France.

(Fantastic news!)

2. Listen carefully on this video to the sweet sounds of grateful refugees in quiet devotional gratitude for allowing them a safe place to stay in Germany away from where they surely would have been killed had they stayed. The gratitude of these splendid new immigrants is so palpable, it appears to have shattered the windows of several police cars.

3. No idea what this was about. But shopping for women in saudi Arabia seems to carry some danger

4. Tommy Robinson was arrested and reincarcerated again. 

5. The google translate on this is a bit obtuse but one gets the idea that the migrant crisis is quite far reaching in Europe

Macedonia’s decision has left thousands of refugees blocked the Greek side of the border, and the passage through the country seen as a lifeline. Of that, despite everything, do not give up.

6. Girl dancing in the KSA makes national headlines

(I would just like to add the following observation. How can a nation that kills homosexuals but only allow men to dance, and with each other at that, have any male population left alive?)

Video: Dancing girl spurs public anger in Saudi

A girl caught on camera dancing with men at a shopping festival in Saudi Arabia triggered public anger and some called for punishing its organizers.

A U-Tube film published by Sada daily showed the girl, wearing short-sleeve T-shit and a tight jeans, trotted to folklore music with local men attending the festival in the Southern Saudi province of Asir.

“Viewers of the film expressed anger at what happened at the festival and called on authorities to punish its organizers for allowing a girl to dance with men,” the paper said.

Gender-mixing in public places in conservative Saudi Arabia is strictly banned.

7. New Greek Prime Minister resigns after 7 months in office.

(I wonder if it went anything at all like this:

Back to the real story)

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras resigned on Thursday, hoping to strengthen his hold on power in snap elections after seven months in office in which he fought Greece’s creditors for a better bailout deal but had to cave in.

Tsipras submitted his resignation to President Prokopis Pavlopoulos and asked for the earliest possible election date.

Government officials said the aim was to hold the election on Sept. 20, with Tsipras seeking to crush a rebellion in his leftist Syriza party and seal public support for the bailout program, Greece’s third since 2010, that he negotiated.

“I will go the president of the republic shortly to submit my resignation, as well as the resignation of my government,” Tsipras said in a televised address before he met Pavlopoulos.

8. ‘Side Deal’ Allows Iran to Inspect Its Own Military Site

(This is everywhere but it still needs to be posted here as it adds clarity to Obama’s position on world events)

9. Islamic Jihad attacks on Israel

10. Britain to reopen embassy in Tehran this weekend, after four years

Thank you M., Wrath of Khan, Richard and many more. Due to a few tech hiccups as part of the process of upgrading, some facts,people and other things meant for this post got lost earlier today. Please bear with us. Things will be better than ever soon!

1. Technical Fault: Social Democracy and Cultural Liberalism Collapsing Under Strain of Migrant Crisis

(Breitbart seems not to know about this one)

Eritrean asylum seekers in Sweden are risking serious backlash after a week of unprovoked, migrant violence towards their native hosts.

Otherwise considered one of the most enthusiastically forgiving and multicultural nations in Europe, Sweden reacted with horror to a double murder in the nation’s largest IKEA store last week by an Eritrean immigrant. The store was closed for two days after the killings, re-opening last Wednesday. In a remarkable feat of double-speak, a sign attached to the door apologised for the closure, remarking it was due to a “technical fault”.

The attack seems to have reset the national conversation regarding immigration and integration, with even steadfastly establishment newspapers now questioning the conventional wisdom as peddled by the left-wing Social Democrat government.

(“Technical errors”? Well we know one thing. The Swedes will tell any lie they can think of to preserve the illusion of a multicultural utopia)

Five men have been arrested for the gang rape of a 22-year-old woman at the weekend in remote small town Ludvika, with at least two, and quite possibly a third all Eritrean asylum seekers, reports the Swedish Free Times.

2. Scandals now erupting from a classic 3rd world style muslim despot’s wedding in Australia.

(The story isn’t really that intense. It is being posted because it shows a kind of seepage of the way things are done in muslim elitist non-democratic nations by rulers as opposed to politicians. Despots and thugs with power as opposed to what a deputy Mayor actually might do for his wedding. Video at site)

3. An 81 year old archeologist decapitated by Islamic State

4. Facebook Save Islamic State From Ridicule By Taking Down Image Poking Fun At Terrorist Group

(Facebook how dhimmi thou art)

5. Two new suspects for the shrine bombing in Bangkok

6. ‘We can’t take any Muslims, we haven’t got any mosques!’ Slovakia agrees to accept 200 Syrian migrants – as long as they’re Christian

Slovakia has agreed to take in 200 Syrian migrants to help with the growing crisis – but only if they are Christian.

Bratislava officials claim Muslim refugees wouldn’t feel at home because the country has such a tiny Islamic population.

An Interior Ministry spokesman said: ‘In Slovakia, we don’t have mosques… we only want to choose the Christians.’

Syrian migrants set off in board an inflatable boat from Bodrum, southwest Turkey, in an attempt to reach the Greek island of Kos early on Wednesday. Slovakia has agreed to take in 200 Syrian migrants to help with the growing crisis – but only if they are Christian

BAREILLY: Two brothers, enraged by the affair their 17-year-old sister was carrying on with a cousin, beheaded the girl and marched around the village with the severed, bleeding head. The incident occurred at Bamani Chowki village, under the jurisdiction of Paraur police station in Shahjhanapur district on Monday.

9. Iraq: Massive fight breaks out at counter-Islamic State conference

Thank you Liberty Dk., M., Dumbstruck, CB Sashenka,  and many more. There is a chance that at some point today, a subtitled version of some or all of Marc Lebuis’ brilliant testimony at the Quebec legislature in opposition to the most draconian anti-rational speech bill in the Americas, Bill 59, will be available here at Vlad.

1. Glenn Beck has written a book about the Koran, in order to help people understand why the Islamic State is the real islam. He didn’t always have this opinion though.

(We made a video about that as well very shortly after the IS was born)

2. Check out the valedictorian speech at Tel Aviv university by an Egyptian Muslim student, born and raised in Egypt. Clearly, a first class Islam-o-phobe.

3. Here is the New York Times video on girls choosing the Islamic State, linked to in an earlier post, but available now on Youtube.

4. Halifax allows cabbie accused of raping a passenger, to keep his cab license.

Coun. Brad Johns (Middle/Upper Sackville – Beaver Bank – Lucasville) said staff had recommended revoking the taxi licence of Bassam Aladin Al-Rawi, 39, who allegedly assaulted a 26-year-old female passenger in his cab in May.

But Johns said the appeals committee based its unanimous decision on a number of factors after a sweeping quasi-judicial hearing with the lawyer of the accused and a municipal solicitor. Halifax Regional Police were informed about the appeals committee meeting and provided information to staff.

5. Amnesty International accuses Turkey of bombing civilians in Kurdish villages in Iraq Aug. 1 – 2015

(It is hard to trust AI whatsoever, especially after recent revelations of a MB tie in to the leadership. But its also hard not to believe the Turks are using their defacto allies, the Islamic State, as an excuse to attack the Kurds. It is weird that the AI cameras were right there after the attack to catch all those scenes of the wounded though)

6. Navy engineer indicted for trying to sell secrets

According to documents from the Justice Department, a federal grand jury on Dec. 3 indicted Mostafa Ahmed Awwad, 35, and charged him with two counts of attempting to export defense articles and technical data.

According to a redacted affidavit from federal agent James Blitzer, Awwad was born in 1979 in Saudi Arabia. He married a US citizen in May 2007 in Cairo, Egypt, and later became a US citizen.

7. Conspiracy of Jihad for Himachal Hindus? Huge arms and ammunition haul from 3 Muslims.

HENB | Shimla | Aug 18, 2015:: After the terrible haul of a huge quantity highly explosives about 110o Kg in Kolkata by CID, West Bengal just three days ago, now the Himachal  Pradesh Police in Nahan stumbled upon a huge cache of ammunition and highly sensitive chemicals, estimated to be enough to run a small bomb factory, from a house in the township. They have arrested three brothers from the house, where the arms stockpile was kept illegally, on Sunday.

8. ‘He is the bomber’: Thai authorities release surveillance image of suspect in Bangkok bombing

Authorities in Thailand Tuesday released an image of a man they believe to have carried out Monday’s bombing that killed at least 20 people and injured 140 during Bangkok’s evening rush hour.

The image, apparently taken from closed circuit surveillance video, shows a man in a yellow T-shirt carrying a backpack. Video footage posted on Thai media websites appeared to show the same man sitting on a bench at the crowded Erawan Shrine, then taking off the backpack and leaving it behind as he walked away.

9. Allen B. West: URGENT: Every single American needs to see the video Iran just released…

Thank you WTD., M., ML., Richard, Gates of Vienna,

And now for a little Canadian insider baseball.

Non-Canadians may want to skip this one. And as a rule, I do not post Canadian political stuff that does not cross the two areas of interest. Islam and its influence, and leftism as a standalone danger and where it intersects with Islam, which is pretty much all at the top and middle these days. But this was too good to resist.

Canadians may remember that under the Prime Ministership of Jean Chretien, the largest political scandal in Canadian history took place, where the Liberal government attempted to, and may actually have to a degree, subverted democracy itself by taking millions of taxpayer dollars and illegally funneling them to various Liberal party insiders as graft, but also to campaign funds through Quebec ad firms to keep Liberals elected with a major violation of campaign rules. Of course the one about not using public money on your campaign. Well none of them are in jail and I think one or two tiny nothing people who were involved in this scandal had to pay back some of the money they stole to the public but overall nothing happened to anyone even though it was clearly established that this all happened.

Flash forward to today. The Harper government that hasn’t actually been involved in any real scandals had the CBC make one up for them. A tired old reporter named Mike Duffy, who was appointed to the Senate, was involved in some kind of minor tax cheat to the tune of $90,000,00 and Harper allegedly helped him pay it back.

Media have been biting at the Government’s heels for literally years now at the expense of actual reporting to try and ‘get’ the Prime Minister on this non-event.

Earlier today, Stephen Harper spoke to an audience in Eastern Canada where he announced a lot of policy developments, some great ones, and some ones which really did require good journalistic follow ups to understand them. I have this directly from our own ML., who sends us in material quite often and was actually in attendance at the event I refer to, and explained that not only was the reportage disgraceful by the CBC and media in general, that they howled and interrupted and asked about nothing but Mike Duffy, ignoring actual questions about real policy that Mr. Harper had just announced. Things that actually needed to be addressed!

After the speech, the CBC ganged up on a Stephen Harper supporter and started attacking him for the Duffey issue. As he is not a politician or employee of the government as far as I know, he felt unconstrained and spoke his mind on the matter.

As someone who has, granted only peripherally, followed this non-issue from the corner of my eye, I must say, I felt actual relief to hear someone finally speak the truth on the matter. Real truth to real power. The CBC.

The CBC of course, is so divorced from reality, that they posted this video thinking it was the Stephen Harper supporter who looks bad.

Canadians who find it interesting should probably download this quickly before the CBC realizes it and pulls it. Cause you know they will.
