The Finns fight back – after multiple cases of child rape Soldiers of Odin patrol the streets of Oulu
Egbert Nobakon, 30 JanuaryAfter multiple cases of rape and assault by immigrant men, Soldiers Of Odin viligantes patrol the streets of Oulu, Finland (Picture: voiceofeurope.com/ )
In the face of government failure to respond to citizens concerns about the rising number of rapes and sexual assaults on Finnish children by immigrant men, a vigilante group Soldiers of Odin has started patrolling streets the streets and public places in Oulu, the most northerly city in the world outside Russia, in response to multiple cases of rape and sexual assault committed against Finnish children by immigrant men (it's not politically correct to mention the ethnic and religious background of these criminals of course.)
The group regularly patrols streets, parks, squares and shopping centres in the city, as all have been identified as places where unaccompanied children, accustomed to the peaceful atmosphere created by civilised Finns, are likely to gather. The immigrants, from cultures so backward and lawless it is not regarded wrong to rape an unaccompanied child or woman, are looking for victims to satisfy theor sexual fantasies, and lack of consent is not an issue for them.
The Soldiers of Odin initiative comes shortly after senior police officers warned the population against taking the law into their own hands, Ålands Nyheter reports. And as usual politicians have defended the softly - softly approach taken by police as being "in the interests of community relations."
Soldiers of Odin (SOO) is an anti-immigrant group founded in Kemi, Finland, in October 2015. It is not political and has no offocial links to the True Finns nationalist political party. The group was established as a response to a huge increase in the number of migrants arriving due to the Open Broders immigration policy imposed by the European Union on member states. Named after Odin, the father god and protector of the people in Norse mythology. As usual left wing groups, as always besotted with the idea of dark skinned men raping and assaulting European women and children, have tried to label the group as far right and neo - Nazi and left dominated mainstream media have been quick to join in spreading that lie.
The Finnish National Police Commissioner, Seppo Kolehmainen, caused confusion when he initially welcomed the establishment of street patrols.
In response, the Europhile and globalist Minister of the Interior, Petteri Orpo, said, “In Finland it is officials who oversee and take care of order in society. It is a simple matter and we will stick to it”. One kind of hopes the next woman to be raped by an immigrant is someone near and dear to the snivelling piece of sewer slime Orpo. Then he could explain to the victim why they should feel gratitude to their assailant.
We learn that in addition to Finland, affiliates of the group have a presence in Sweden, Norway, Germany, Britain, Belgium, Estonia, Canada, Australia, and the United States. SOO has denied all claims of being a racist or neo-Nazi group in interviews and on their public Facebook page. The left can walow in their usual, hypocritical self righteousness, but as they have been screaming fot fifty years that rapists should be killed, until someone can explain why it is OK for a darkl skinned foreigner to rape European women and children, or alternative the authoritites act against these paskudniaks, the spread of vigilanteism is inevitable.
French Identitarian Activists Arrested Following ‘Defend Europe’ Mission
Generation Identitaire message for illegal immigrants trying to cross from Italy to France in the Alps.
When members of the French hipster-right anti-mass migration Génération Identitaire movement took part in a demonstration for French identity and culture late last year, (the so called “Defend Europe” mission along the French-Italian border) they thought they were exercising their right to peaceful protest. So it was a surprise when several were arrested this week.
The activists arrested Tuesday morning in Lyon included the group’s spokesman Romain Espino. Prosecutors later said their arrests were in connection with the Defend Europe mission last year in the Col de l’Echelle area, according to a report in L’Express..
Génération Identitaire activist Anaïs Lignier was among those arrested even though she is eight months pregnant. In a press statement from the group she announced: “This morning, along with two other Génération Identitaire members, I was placed in police custody on the order of the Gap prosecutor, for the absurd motive of ‘interference in public service,'” Ms Lignier said.
“In particular, we built a symbolic border at the Col de l’Echelle and flew over the area with helicopters. In fact, Emmanuel Macron’s government never forgave us for humiliating him on the 21st of April, when we forced him to send police and gendarmerie reinforcements to secure the Franco-Italian border,” she added.
Lignier also attacked the French authorities for waiting so long to act against the protestors, who never made a secret of who they were, saying, “the justice system, at the behest of the authorities in Paris, tries to take us down by all means, including the most fanciful on the legal level. The fact that I already have a family responsibility and that I am 8 months pregnant did not prevent the prosecutor’s office from putting me in custody.”
The activist also claimed that police were less interested in the Defend Europe mission and more curious about the group’s inner workings as well as connections to political parties and others. That sounds as if the idiot Macron is looking for excuses to ban Marine Le Pen's Rassemblement national ahead of elections to the European Parliament. If he's stupid enough to do that, and his track record suggests he is, there will be civil war.
The action against Génération Identitaire was clearly taken a political basis. Lignier said group members exercised their right to silence and added that the group would not be intimidated and would contunue to defent Franch culture and nationhood in spite of the arrests. “We will always remain at the forefront of the defence of our people and our civilisation,” she said.
Our corresepondent in the area, (the edior's daughter,) recalls the incident hardly caused a ripple in the french mainstream media pool at the time. Since then of course, due to the continuing Yellow Vests protests, the Macron regime has taken a much more authoritarian line against protestors and shown it is prepared to trample civil rights in order to silence criticism of its failed policies.

Week 11 Of Yellow Vests unrest keeps pressure on Macron
by Arthur Foxake
France’s yellow vest protesters hit the streets again last weekend, we're a bit behind this week so excuse the lateness of this report please. Our editor was abroad covering the World Economic Forum in davos Sweitzerland (actually he and his wife are visiting their daughter in the French Alps, but it's only a couple of hours drive away.) It's reported that numbers were up again, not only in Paris but also in many procincial centres where protests took place. This keeps pressure on President Emmanuel Macron, who can only rant about internal divisions in the movement as if they are an organised political force rather than a spontaneous expression of disillusionment with the establishment by random groups of citizens.
Multiple protests took place on Saturday around Paris and other cities, the 11th straight weekend of action prompted by Macron policies seen as favoring the rich. Also Macron's recent treaty with The European Union's other leading globalist, which moves towards politically integrating France and Germany has angered many citizens to whom the thought of becoming even more entangles with the Germans is anathema.
Globalisation has ensured the rich get richer, mostly by outsourcing labour to Asia, and again by driving down wages by importing cheap Labour. The result has been the gap between rich and poor in the West has increased. And up till now working class voters have been bough off with generous state benefits and have continued to vote for establishment parties. However the end result of these policies which increase taxation of the lower groups in society while driving down earnings, and the debts incurred by bloated and inefficient state sector organisations has meant those benefits are now having to be cut.
A leader of the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vest) movement has called for an “uprising” at next Saturday’s protest, following the severe injury of one of its major figures over the weekend.
The protest last weekend, dubbed “Act XI,” saw 69,000 participants across France, with 4,000 in the capital of Paris. One of the major incidents involved prominent figure Jerome Rodrigues who was shot at by riot police with “flashball” rounds which resulted in the activist being seriously injured, facing the prospect of losing one of his eyes, Le Figaro reports.

Writing in that repository of all left wing and globalist idiocies The Guardian, writer Amelia Hill makes the nonsensical assertion UK cannot simply trade on WTO terms after no-deal Brexit, offering only the opinions of left wing and globalist 'experts' in support of her case. Here's a sample:
The UK will be unable to have frictionless, tariff-free trade under World Trade Organization rules for up to seven years in the event of a no-deal Brexit, according to two leading European Union law specialists.The ensuing chaos could double food prices and plunge Britain into a recession that could last up to 30 years, claim the lawyers who acted for Gina Miller in the historic case that forced the government to seek parliament’s approval to leave the EU. Anneli Howard, a specialist in EU and competition law at Monckton Chambers and a member of the bar’s Brexit working group, believes this isn’t true, hill claims.
“No deal means leaving with nothing, Sir Ivan Rogers former UK Premanent Representative to the the European Institute said in a lecture that the anticipated recession will be worse than the 1930s, let alone 2008. It is impossible to say how long it would go on for. Some economists say 10 years, others say the effects could be felt for 20 or even 30 years: even ardent Brexiteers agree it could be decades.”
Nobody involved with The Daily Stirrer has seen or heard any Brexiteers hysterical predictions of a thirty years recession, but Remainers are not known for their honesty or level headedness. However Hill was not done with the anti - Brexit hyperbole.
The government cannot simply cut and paste the 120,000 EU statutes into UK law and then make changes to them gradually, she said. “The UK will need to set up new enforcement bodies and transfer new powers to regulators to create our own domestic regimes,” she said.
She's talking through her posterior orifice again. Those laws are alread in British law and can be undone gradually. That has already been clarified by constitutional lawyers.
Effects Felt for 30 Years
Hill made five references to Anneli Howard, whose CV describes her as a leading junior lawyer in telecommunications law, in the article but the alleged expert's professional status as a junior lawyer hardly qualifies her opinion as authoritative.Hill's moans about a 1930s recession and claims even ardent Brexiters agree it could be decades, in the same paragraph. Again she does not name these Brexiteers.
In an linked-to article by The Guardian, titled: Two, 50 or 100 years: when do leavers think Brexit will pay off? writer Emine Saner very misleading.
This is what Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Brexiteer alluded to actually said: “We won’t know the full economic consequences for a very long time.” That is quite accurate. Benefits accrue every year.
Former Brexit Secretart David Davis said "There is no reason why many of these cannot be achieved within two years.”
Hill managed to take an already purposely-overhyped headline title and turn it into a complete fabricated lie, fake news that links recessions to a 30-year wait for the full benefits to be known.
After 16 paragraphs of total scaremongering and attempted scattering of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, Hill mentions the counter-claims.
David Collins, a professor of international economic law at City University of London, said: “The UK can trade quite easily on an uncertified schedule.”
However, Collins conceded that an uncertified schedule “might be an indication of that complaining member’s intention to initiate a dispute against the member,” and that “the WTO dispute settlement process can take several years to resolve”.
Collins, an international economics professor, is certainly correct, but notice the slant of the article and the title.
30-Year Recession
The idea of a 30-year recession wins first prize for the most stupid statement ever about Brexit, and that is saying quite a lot.Hill deserves an award herself (for bad journalism of fake news maybe,) for producing an absurd article full of politically biased nonsense, without even properly referencing who one her alleged "experts" is.
The Guardian frequently presents fake news articles with left-wing progressive and anti - Brexit slants. Hill and Saner provide today's examples.
As for that predicted 30-year recession:
Short-term, the EU will get hit much harder than the UK. Germany will get hit the hardest. At that point the EU, if it survives, will be ready for serious trade agreement negotiations with the UK.

Friendly fraud: Facebook Encouraged Kids To Spend Fortunes On Online Games
Facebook has been bombarded with complaints from parents that children were spending large sums of money, without being aware they were using real money, while playing games like Angry Birds and Ninja Saga on Facebook, internal emails show. Unfortunately the emailslso show that face with yet another highly damaging scandal, the response of Facebook's management was completely inappropriate. For years, the company claimed it was trying to tackle the problem of kids unwittingly spending their parents' money playing games that employed 'in-app billing' on Facebook, newly unsealed court documents say. As long ago as 2012, an Arizona woman sued the tech giant on finding her 12-year-old son had racked up around $1,000 in credit card charges by playing Ninja Saga. She claimed that neither she nor the boy knew that they were spending money on the game. After initially denying any responsibility, the social media giant eventually settled the case with the family. This was only one of many such incidents. The leaked internal emails describe how another family requested a refund after a 15-year-old ran up more than $6,500 in charges while playing an online game. The total chargeback rates for games on Facebook went as high as nine percent – well beyond what is considered a 'red flag' by the Federal Trade Commission. Game developers were also concerned. Rovio, the creator of the massively popular Angry Birds, queried Facebook about refund rates of "5-10 percent" for money spent on the game, which seemed "quite high." After analyzing the situation, Facebook concluded that over 90 percent of refund claims for Angry Birds were involved cases of a minor using their parents' or grandparents' account. Internal probes revealed that in many cases the children who ran up the bills had no idea they were paying real money, and their parents did not realize that their credit card was tied to Facebook. "This only exacerbates the problem since it doesn't necessarily look like 'real' money to a minor," an employee wrote, according to the internal emails. The above illustrates one of the big problems created by our being pushed to switch so much of our personal and business activity to internet based technologies. Few people using online applications understand enough about what the software applications they use are doing or are capable of doing. Instances of children blowing money on games without parental permission has become known as "friendly fraud" or "FF" in Facebook's internal Orwellian newspeak. The emails reveal that Facebook's efforts to fix the problem were given a lower priority than "maximizing revenue." "The difficulty with friendly fraud is that we do not have a clear way to identify it at a purchase level because it looks like a good transaction," an Facebook staffer wrote, adding that building "risk models" to reduce such cases "would most likely block good TPV [total purchase value]." The use of such technocratic language coupled with the fact that in another exchange a Facebook employee referred to a user seeking a refund as a "whale" (casino slang for a high-wager gambler) led to accusations by Facebook watchers that the tech giant was happy to turn turn a blind eye to the problem or even encourag minors to squander vast sums of money online, and its response to the problem was more a public relations exercise than a serious effort to deal with the problem. In a statement provided to the Center for Investigative Reporting, which reviewed its emails this week, Facebook noted that it regularly reviews and revises the terms and practices with connection to refund requests. "Facebook works with parents and experts to offer tools for families navigating Facebook and the web," the company stated, adding that it would provide "dedicated resources" to deal with chargebacks originating from purchases made by minors. This latest controversy adds to a number of scandals that have hit Facebook in recent years. The company has previously been involved in a highly damaging data-mining scandal and made matters worse by being caught still using the same practices having been ordered by courts to cease and desist. It has also been accused of not doing enough to combat the activity of false accounts and disinformation online (which Facebook denies). And most recently it has been found to have exaggerated numbers of active users and monthly traffic figures, which would fraudulently increase its advertising sales.26 January, 2019
According to a report in the Telegraph, the DUP is preparing to back an amendment tabled by Graham Brady, the leader of the Tory backbenchers, that will call for the removal of the Irish Backstop, to be replaced by an unspecified "alternative arrangement". Though the EU27 has insisted that the negotiations over the Brexit deal are finished, and that it wouldn't be willing to make any more alterations to the deal, there have been signs that leaders of the EU27, under pressure from businesses in Europe that fear a no deal Brexit would harm them as much as the UK, might reluctantly reopen negotiations in a bid to avert a "no deal" Brexit scenario, which economists believe would be a disaster both for the UK and the Continent.
This blog has always believed a no deal Brexit and trading with the bloc under WTO rules is nothing to worry about, and as economists have a track record of being wrong more than 99% of the time, the fact that they strongly oppose no deal adds strength to our argument.
Brady's amendment is broader than another amendment tabled by Tory MP Andrew Murrison, which calls for adding an expiration date of Dec. 21, 2021 to the backstop. And while May has continued to publicly oppose throwing out the backstop, the fact remains that it has been clear for months now that any deal with the backstop attached has a snowball's chance in hell of survival.
Because of this, May is reportedly quietly hoping that, if she can get the DUP on board, along with some 80% of Tories who it's believed would support a deal without the backstop, it would give her enough juice to convince the EU27 that it would be worth renegotiating the deal. But no matter what is accepted in Westminster, the EU must also be persuaded to accept it and that is as likely as a three legged horse winning The Prix De L'Arc De Triomph. But before the deal goes back to the EU there are still obstacles.
from The Daily Telegraph (link above):A DUP source said Sir Graham’s amendment represented the best way forward and that it would send the issue back to Brussels with a clear demand for change.
"Certainly the Graham Brady amendment looks promising for us," the source said.
The DUP believes the EU is beginning to accept changes will have to be made to the backstop for Mrs May’s deal to be agreed by MPs.
Sir Graham told The Telegraph the backstop “can't get through the House of Commons - and that leads to alternative arrangements” as he said he hoped his amendment would secure Government support.
"It seems to me the only agreed exit from the EU that can command a majority is the Withdrawal Agreement without a backstop," he said.
Renewed hope for May's deal has driven the British pound higher on currency markets, at close of business on Friday it stood at €1.15 and close to $1.30 after it's strongest weekly performance for a year. The ever - reliable (not!) online news site BuzzFeed reported that May's Chief Whip Julian Smith has been drumming up support for the amendment by hinting that the government would push for a reopening of the agreement.
The EU27 however, does not like the idea of reopening negotiations or adding time limits to the backstop (as Michel Barnier again made clear earlier this week). And France's cheese-eating-surrender-monkey-in-chief, Emmanuel Macron has previously stated his position that the backstop must be indefinite and can only be removed by the Irish government in Dublin (which would only be given if the reunification of Ireland is agreed,) So it looks as if soft Brexit supporters are pinning their hopes once again on the notion that an alliance between May, the DUP and the Remainers might finally. materialize - and that everything else (namely, the EU27) will just fall into place. If that happens I hear bookmakers are offering very good odds on The Loch Ness Monster being captured, aliens landing on The White House lawn, and Elvis appearing at the O2 Arena in 2020.

Leave Vote Was ‘Manipulated’, Lunatic President Tells France
Macron's 'great debate' backfires as Yellow Versts week 11 protests bigger and angrier (Picture: Daily Express )
The UK’s Leave vote in the Brexit refererndum was caused by misplaced “anger” and foreign disinformation, a raving mad Emmanuel Macron told French television and radio audiences at an event organised as part of his "grande debate," on the public dissastisfaction with his government that has manifested itself in the Yellow Vest movement civil unrest. In a speech warning critics of his globalist, authoritarian regime in France to beware “people who manipulate you with miracle ideas”.
Hang on! Wasn't Mad Mac elected on the strenght of 'miralcle ideas' less than twoi years ago. A complete political novice with a track record of mediocrity in everything he had done, Macron was pushed to the fore as leader of a new party in French politics, after a stitch up by traditional conservative and socialist parties to stop the election of Marine Le Pen's Rassemblement National, the main Eurosceptic party.
Speaking at a Town Hall meeting near Lyon after weeks of increasingly violent protests, the French president told unhappy citizens to "be aware of people who sell you dreams, that tell you all your anger can be solved by a referendum", before dismissing Brexit as rubbish. Thus spake the man who promised he could solve all the problems of France and EU member states through a combination of higher taxes and more of the policies that had caused the problems.
“Take the British. They voted for Brexit,” Macron told the audience in Bourg-de-Peage of around 250 people, a number of whom were dressed in the yellow vests of the ‘gilet jaunes’ movement.
He said: “There were people [in Britain] who, in good faith, were sometimes as angry as you are, and they said that the source of all their ills was Europe. It’s rubbish!” he said, explaining that voters were swayed by Leave campaign buses emblazoned with messages “reading that you were going to save something like 36 billion pounds” if Britain were to leave the EU.
“There were entire buses going by saying you’re going to save – I can’t remember how much now – something like 36 billion pounds if you leave,” he said, in an attack on pro-independence campaigns, which he alleged also tricked the British into believing divorce from the EU that Brexit would “be done in a fortnight”.
“There were people who voted for Brexit, who did it in good faith, they were angry, and they thought their situation was impossible, because the system was unjust,” stated Macron, before claiming that UK citizens are now “starting to realise that all the figures they were given are entirely false, and what they were told could be done overnight in fact can’t be delivered.He said: “There were people [in Britain] who, in good faith, were sometimes as angry as you are, and they said that the source of all their ills was Europe.

“And in the end it’s going to cost them. In this context do you think that the referendum was a good thing?”
“No, because it didn’t allow for an informed, transparent and calm debate. It’s torn a society apart, and it’s left it open to disinformation coming from abroad, or terrible manipulation,” asserted the French premier.
Macron’s tirade against Brexit came in response to a question from the audience about the citizens’ initiative referendums (RIC), the Yellow Vests movement’s demand for the right to hold Swiss-style referendums on policy proposals which gather more than 700,000 signatures.
“Difficult decisions should never be made by referendum,” stated the president, asserting the general public are not the “best-informed” on such issues and that, “in recent referendums, foreign powers greatly manipulated the vote”.
“We’re all surrounded by fake news. And a lot of people are persuaded, in good faith, that what they’re being told is true, when in fact it’s totally false. Because they read it on the internet,” he told the town hall meeting.
So all anyone could have learned from that pile of bollocks is that Mad Mad is just as arrogant, deluded and out of touch with voters as before his disastrous presidency began. Fore more proof of this we only have to look at the latest plan cooked up by Mad Mac and the equally unhinged Hausfrau - Volksfuher Merkel to integrate Germany and France as a first step towards forcing the other 25 EU member states to surrender their national sovereignty and become provinces of a federal superstate dominated by Germany and France.
France & Germany: "We Are Committed To The Emergence Of A European Army"

As my UK blog reported last week French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have signed a new Franco-German collaboration treaty (the French are the world's greatest collaborators,) aimed at reinvigorating the European Union, which has been buffeted by the European debt crisis, mass migration and Brexit — as well as innumerable conflicting interests and priorities among its 28 member states.
France and Germany, the self-appointed guardians of European integration, have said that the new World Domination plan treaty is a response to the increasing support for nationalists and populists in EU member states such as Austria, Germany, Britain, France, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Poland and other European countries who are resisting moves towards furthr political and cultural integration of member states, and even hoping to reverse progress towards European integration by reclaiming national sovereignty from the European Union and transferring those powers back to national capitals.
The continent wide rejection of EU authoritarianism now threatens to tear apart the European Union as Eurosceptic nationalists and Europhile globalists prepare to go head to head in elections for the European Parliament in late May 2019.
The "Aachen Treaty" [Traité d'Aix-la-Chapelle; Vertrag von Aachen], signed by Merkel and Macron on January 22 in the German city of Aachen, consists of 28 articles presented in seven chapters; both states commit to closer cooperation with the other in a series of policy areas. The first eight articles cover bilateral foreign and defense policy as well as the European Union, are the most ambitious and consequential items in the treaty:
Article 1: Both states to deepen their cooperation on European policy by "promoting an effective and strong common foreign and security policy and strengthening and deepening Economic and Monetary Union."
Article 2: Both states to "consult each other regularly at all levels before the major European deadlines, seeking to establish common positions and to agree coordinated speeches by their ministers. They will coordinate on the transposition of European law into their national law."
Article 3: Both states to "deepen their cooperation on foreign policy, defense, external and internal security and development while striving to strengthen Europe's autonomous capacity for action." The two states also pledge to "consult each other in order to define common positions on any important decision affecting their common interests and to act jointly in all cases where this is possible."
Article 4: Both states to "increasingly converge their objectives and policies on security and defense.... They lend themselves to mutual assistance by all means at their disposal, including armed forces, in case of armed aggression against their territories." They also "commit themselves to strengthening Europe's capacity for action and to jointly invest to fill its capacity gaps, thus strengthening the European Union and the North Atlantic Alliance." They "intend to promote the competitiveness and consolidation of the European defense industrial and technological base...they support the closest possible cooperation between their defense industries on the basis of mutual trust...both states will develop a common approach to arms exports with regard to joint projects. The two states will "establish the Franco-German Defense and Security Council as the political body to manage these reciprocal commitments. This Council will meet at the highest level at regular intervals."
Article 5: Both states to "extend cooperation between their foreign affairs ministries, including their diplomatic and consular missions" and coordinate action at the United Nations and NATO.
Article 6: Both states to "further strengthen their bilateral cooperation in the fight against terrorism and organized crime, as well as their cooperation in the judiciary and in intelligence and police matters."
Article 7: Both states to "establish an ever-closer partnership between Europe and Africa...with the aim of improving socio-economic prospects, sustainability, good governance and conflict prevention, crisis resolution, especially in the context of peacekeeping, and the management of post-conflict situations."
Article 8: Both states to "cooperate closely in all organs of the United Nations." They will "closely coordinate their positions, as part of a wider effort of consultation among the EU member states sitting on the UN Security Council and in accordance with the positions and interests of the European Union." They will "do their utmost to achieve a unified position of the European Union in the appropriate organs of the United Nations." The two states also "undertake to continue their efforts to reform the United Nations Security Council." The admission of Germany as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council "is a priority of Franco-German diplomacy."
The remainder of the treaty pledges closer bilateral cooperation in the areas of artificial intelligence, climate change, cross-border issues, culture, economic affairs, education, energy, environment, health and sustainable development, among other issues.
When we look at it from the point of view of the weaker EU member states this is clearly a power grab by Germany (the master race?) and France (the collabourators,) aimed at gaining complete dominance of mainland Europe after Britain leaves. And that is why Britain has to leave and others will follow. It's nothing to do with Mad Mac's rabid imagingings about fake news and misinformation. Britain's leave voters knew precisely what we were voting for. Our vote repudiated the idea that our proud, ancient nation could only survive as part of a bloc dominated by sausage scoffers and cheese eating surrender monkeys.

Sweden Appoints Anti-Semitic Hippie Lunatic as Cultural Minister in New Government
Guest post by Peter Sweden
After months of negotiations, the Socialist Democrats have formed a coalition government together with the Green party. And the catastropic result of that for the people of Sweden is the appointment of this hairdressing disaster as Culture Secretary in the new coalition government.
The newly appointed Minister for Culture, Amanda Lind, has already proven to be controversial. Only hours after being appointed, she wrote on Instagram praising amongst others Mehmet Kaplan, calling him a “pioneer” and “hero”.
Mehmet Kaplan was formerly the Minister for Housing in Sweden, but was forced to resign after it was revealed he had connections to fascist and Islamist organisations. He has also compared Israel to the Nazis, something that Israel said was “nothing but anti-semitism”.
Unsurprisingly the new minister has already come out attacking right-wingers, saying that “nationalists and right-wing populists are a threat to free speech”The new Minister for Culture has also been widely talked about on social media, with many pointing out her “hippie” style. Amanda Lind is a licensed psychologist and has studied herbal alternative medicine, acupuncture and Chinese medicine. She told Swedish website Yippie Härnösand that she is interested in roleplay and cartoons and that she looks at life in a “spiritual way”.
Hanif Bali, a popular politician from the centre-right Moderate party wrote on twitter after her appointment “I look forward to having a hippie as Minister for Culture…tons of weed at the department”
Amanda Lind’s husband has also been in the spotlight recently. Björn Ola Lind, a 55 year old artist has been a prominent face at alternative festivals in Sweden, and has produced films based on Sami mythology.
There are videos of him on YouTube campaigning for the Green party by dressing up in white face and playing the didgeridoo made out of moose bones. At one point in the video he is heard saying “the spirit of the moose manifests through our machines”.
In other YouTube videos he is seen playing the didgeridoo at the top of a mountain in Sweden together with a woman who appears to be performing butoh dance.
Other photos of him on social media shows him again in white face hovering in the air over a tree stump dressed with a turban on his head. He told Swedish newspaper Expressen that he is interested in the Australian Aborigines, and that he has been accepted and is part of the Bundjalund tribe.
The appointment of Amanda Lind as Minister for Culture has received criticism from Historian Åsa Linderborg, saying “The new Swedish Minister for Culture has, just like her predecessor Alice Bah Kuhnke, never talked about cultural political questions”
Looking back at Amanda Linds performance as a politician raises a few questions. Back in 2015 when she was a local politician for the Green party in Härnösand, she spent nearly $47,500 of taxpayers money on a new bicycle rack that could park up to 12 bicycles.

College Teaches Ed. Students How To "Combat Toxic Masculinity"
Students at Lewis and Clark College’s Graduate School of Education (a teacher training college,) will be able from spring 2019 to enrol on a course that will teach them to recognise and deal with toxic masculinity in the classroom.
The course, intended for teachers and educators, will encourage participants to “analyze the effects of toxic masculinity and how they play out in our classrooms, communities, and lives," according to the prospectus. Participants who complete the course will have “a lesson plan based on an idea or strategy presented during sessions, and will return to their classrooms with strategies to combat toxic masculinity.”
Students can receive one semester hour by taking part in the course.
The course will be led by Chris Kelly and Jayme Causey. Causey is a 2016 graduate of nearby Portland State University and Kelly of the Lewis Clark College Graduate School of Education Oregon Writing Project. He has also presented workshops at the Northwest Teaching for Social Justice Conference in both 2017 and 2018. So loads of relevant experience then?
Prices for the course are $350 per hour for current students, $250 for those choosing to take the class not for credit, and 20 percent off for alumni of Lewis and Clark College who are also not taking the class for credit. So if ten people sign up these two wimpish hippys who cooked up the scam will net at least $2,500 an hour. Nice work for doing nothing more than jump on the latest politically correct bandwagon.
The current hysteria about "toxic masculinity," (which all lefties are sure they hate although none seem able to define it, was triggered by a Gillette "toxic masculinity" ad earlier in January which appeared to be trying to tell men that using Gilette products will help them become feminised sissies. Since the ad showed men doing mannish things (like shaving,) and boys doing boyish things (like fighting, coz girls never fight or squabble, they just inflict the cruellist and most humiliating types of bullying on other girls for silly things like not hasving the right shoes,) the topic of toxic masculinity has had lefties in a frenzy across the country, so much so that they have completely forgotten to tell us we are not real men unless we were born women and have had out vaginas turned inside out to make a sad facsimilie of a penis. Colleges have tried to address the perceived problem through workshops and other initiatives, though their attempts to demonstrate the difference between masculinity and toxic masculinity have so far failed.
Campus Reform interviewed Georgetown University students after the GIllette ad debuted, finding that while students opposed the concept, they were not sure what exactly "toxic masculinity" even was.

Facebook Slides After Report Claims 50% Of Its Users Are Fake
Image source: cdn2.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/
As it is Burns day we think the words of Scotland's national poet serve pereftly as a warning to Silicon Valley nerds with world domination ambitions: "The best lain schemes o' mice and men gang aft agley."
One such world domination wannabe for whom things have gang agely in the past year is Facebook supremo Mark Zuckerberg. But as badly as things have gone for Facebook since the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal broke one year ago, in conformation of Murphy's law ("No matter how bad things are thery can always get worse," a new report froma team of researchers, led by a former coleague of Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard who helped Zuck create one of the original Facebook prototypes, suggests the reality of the company's circumstances is even more dire than investors realize.
In a report, "Facebook: 50% Users Fake," published on 24 January, 2019 by PlainSite, an independent research company founded by Aaron Greenspan, analysis reveals that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has regularly lied (nothing new there then,) to investors and media about the company's traffic statistics, and that the company could be overestating the number of active monthly users by as much as 50%.
The team detailed their findings in a 70-page report from which the extract below is taken, on their website.
PlainSite is a project launched by the Think Computer Corporation and Think Computer Foundation which aims to make "data accessible to the public free of charge” and "lets ordinary citizens impact the law- making process," according to Bloomberg. Aaron Greenspan recently told his story about how he fit into the history of Facebook's founding at Harvard on a podcast.
Facebook's numbers have been suspect for years, I remember around eight years ago blogging on how many duplicate accounts were on the site, and how many user accounts were bots, spamming members timelines with likes, comments, links and advertising matter presented as news. The company's fraudulent (because that is what they are,) business practices cheat its customers (advertisers) by giving a distorted picture of how effective advertising on facebook is likely to be, the report said.
Here are a few ways in which Facebook takes advantage of its fake traffic figures:
- Fake accounts affect Facebook at its core in numerous ways:
- Its customers purchase advertising on Facebook based on the fact that it can supposedly target advertisements at more than 2 billion real human beings. To the extent that users aren’t real, companies are throwing their money down the drain.
- Fake accounts click on advertising at random, or “like” pages, to throw off antifraud algorithms. Fake accounts look real if they do not follow a clear pattern. This kind of activity defrauds advertisers, but rewards Facebook with revenue.
- Fake accounts often defraud other users on Facebook, through scams, fake news, extortion, and other forms of deception. Often, they can involve governments
With Zuckerbergs plans to take over the world and establish a totalitarian nerdocracy in tatters what will happen next. It'd likely the US government security agencies will continue to prop up Facebook because the company can release a lot of dirt on the extent to which it cooperating in mass surveillance schemes, but it is likely users will desert in accelerating numbers and will certainly become more savvy about what information they reveal online. Unless of course Trump keeps his pledge to break up tech giants like Facebook, Google and Amazon.
The issue arises from the strict EU laws — enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union — to the privacy of citizens personal data. As we all know thanks to the material leaked by Ed Snowden and others the United States National Security Agency (NSA) does not regard anything as private,
Facebook begins Europe-wide censorship campaign against free speech.
Facebook Inc (FB.O) has commenced the Europe-wide censoring of posts and comments the ruling elite do not like, thus making good the promise given to Hausfrau – Volksfuhrer Merkel by the social media and data theft site’s founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Sorry to seem the The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, but somebody has to blow the whistle on the latest self serving stunt of the self server in chief, Mark Zuckerbugger but the great act of philanthropy with which the Inyaface Datatheft Book chief celebrated the birth of his child is, like everything else billionaire philanthropists do, not quite as straightforward as it has been presented in mainstream media.
How Google Destroyed the Internet
The idea of the internet was that it would be a communications tool that freed information by making all public domain documents, libraries and archives accessible for everyone. Unfortunately the corporate monopoly men of Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and Facebook and political control freaks had other ideas. They also understood the technolgy while the hippies and liberals ignored professionals warnings that internet systems would become a perfect toool of censorship.
Our finance expert looks at the latest tax avoidance scandal and wonders why the governments financial agencies are always to eager to go after small time tax and benefit fraud and yet year after year turn a blind eye to the blatant criminality of global corporations in their tax evasion techniques.
Has Zuckerbugger Been Messing With Your Mind?
It has been revealed that Facebook has been collaborating with the US government and creepier fringes of the academic community in carrying out experiments to manipulate users emotions. "Facebook users have reacted angrily to a "creepy" experiment carried out by the social network and two American universities to manipulate their emotions."

No Deal, No Problem: World Runs On WTO Rules These Days - OECD Chief
As the deadlock in the UK Paliament over Brexit continues and the EU remains as intransigent as ever, while the political establishment mainstream media panic over the prospect of the UK leaving the EU with no trade deal, José Ángel Gurría Treviño, Secretary-General of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), has confirmed what many economocally savvy citizen pundits have said since the referendum result was announced, that the world’s advanced economies are “absolutely” able to cope with a No Deal Brexit, and that the OECD would help the United Kingdom to make it happen in “the most seamless possible way”.
Speaking at the elite World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, the Mexican economist and former foreign minister was asked by Sky Television's Ed Conway in a decidedly sceptical tone: “If there were to be a No Deal, do you think that, do you think, you know, your members, the advanced economies, are they ready for that?”
“Absolutely,” the top bureaucrat replied, perhaps unhelpfully.
“You know, what’s the worst [case] scenario? No Deal, [World Trade Organization] rules — the whole world is running by WTO rules these days,” he added nonchalantly.
Obviously Conway was hoping for predictions of economic catastrophe and the collapse of British democracy. Since it became obvious Theresa Bay's Brexit In Name Only (BRINO) could not succeed it has been fashionable among the publicity junkie faction of pundits to say Britain cannot survive economicvally outside the EU, as if none of the vast majority of nations on the planet are not surviving. In fact it is the EU which is struggling for survival at the moment, the bureaucrats in Brusserls having overreached themselves and trigger a nationalist backlash in many member states.
Mr Gurría said he felt it was “unfortunate” that the United Kingdom was leaving the European Union, but was clear that it was “the will of the British people, so, you know, we take our bumps and we roll with it.”
“So you’re relatively sanguine about that,” the Sky presenter responded in surprise. “Some people are very worried,” he added.
“The UK is a member of the OECD,” Gurría said matter of factly. “And we’re going to make sure that this happens in the most seamless possible way, [and] that, you know, the costs are lowered.”

Standing atop a massive pile of money, the elitist looks down angrily at the poor man when he merely asks for a pay raise.
In his gas-guzzling private jet, the elitist travels half way around the world to angrily tell the poor man to use less energy:- The Gurning Grandad from Grimsby<.h3>
Every year leading figures from business, politics and entertainment gather at the World Economic Forum to discuss the world's most pressing problems. This year's theme is "Globalization 4.0: Shaping a Global Architecture in the Age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution".
The summit itself is a meeting of the global experts and influencers from politics to business, culture and the media. During the week these elite will meet and discuss a range of topics, including the economy, climate change and international relations.
The WEF's, a bunch of paternalistic neo-liberals like to pretend they are safeguarding the interests of the planet when really all they are interested in is looking after the interests of corporate business and the global elite. Thus their Global Risk Report for 2019 revealed that environmental crises, such as failures to tackle climate change, "are among the likeliest and highest-impact risk that the world faces over the next decade".
Founder and chief executive of the WEF Klaus Schwab, said it was "humanity's most existential challenge" and that it "requires urgent global action". He wrote: "Never has science been clearer in its concern about the risks of climate change and the stress this places on our oceans and other vital ecosystems, including tropical forests and freshwater sources.
"Yet our response to melting glaciers is glacial. While solutions increasingly exist, especially in the energy sector, there is as yet no movement on global action commensurate to the challenge." Perhaps he thinks we have not noticed that all the solutions the elites amd their pet 'experts' have so far proposed involve the working and middle classes sacrificing our lifestyles and pating punitive 'green' taxes which are used to fund 'green' projects that boost corporate profits and shovel our tax money into the coffers of businesses and the landowners who have put wind farms and solar farms on their property in order to scoop up the subsidies for 'sustainable' power that the 'green' taxes and levies on our fuel bills fund.
When he says "our response to melting glaciers is glacial," there is no intended irony in his words, he cannot be unaware that an anticipated 1,500 private jets will descend on Davos and nearby airports in Switzerland this week as the international financial and political elite gathers to talk about how to deal with global climate challenges by making us punters reduce our carbon footprint.
That number is an increase on the estimated 1,300 aircraft movements seen at last year’s forum, despite climate change registering as the top risk factor identified for the global economy then as well. In a survey of World Economic Forum (WEF) movers and shakers last week all placed the need to reduce carbon emissions highly among their priorities, yet none travelled by train and few by commercial airline.
Sir David Attenborough, a lead speaker this year, has already stated that climate is the issue of our time. The veteran broadcaster, 92, used his acceptance speech to tell business leaders and governments to come up with “practical solutions”. Speaking at the beginning of the forum on Monday, the Blue Planet and Dynasties narrator told the crowd he is “quite literally from another age” and warned of “man-made disaster of global scale” that lies ahead.
Were Attenborough have serious about his pleas for the environment, he ought to have used his platform to condemn events like the WEF, the United Nations Climate Conferences, G7 and G20 economic summits and so on. Industry group Air Charter Service calculated the private jet flights over the week, as delegates fly in to hear the likes of Attenborough speak at an event boasting a basic entry ticket price of U.S.$60,000 – per person. Around 3,000 participants are expected for the 2019 edition of the WEF.
Andy Christie, Private Jets Director at ACS, told the Guardian how the numbers are determined: "Davos doesn’t have its own airfield and, whilst we have several clients who fly into the town by helicopter, the four main airfields that private jet users attending the forum use are Zürich, Dübendorf, St. Gallen-Altenrhein and St. Moritz.
Working with WingX, we looked at private jet activity at those airports over the six days of each WEF week since 2013 – from one day before the event to one day after. Last year was the busiest year for private jets so far, showing an 11% increase on 2017, with more than 1,300 aircraft movements. If we see a similar increase this year, we could be looking at almost 1,500 aircraft movements over the six days.
Countries with the most arrivals and departures over the past five years at Davos are Germany, France, the UK, U.S., Russia, and UAE, respectively."
Demand for private jets far outstrips other events that also loom large on the private aviation calendar, such as the Super Bowl or Champions’ League final, according to Mr. Christie. “We have had bookings from as far as our operations in Hong Kong, India and the US ?- no other event has the same global appeal,” he said in a statement.
No wonder, those 3000 paying punters will be accompanied by their entourages, persdonal assistants, PR consultants, technical advisers and other people employed solely to make their bosses feel important. And the trend is towards even more expensive, larger private jets such as the Gulfstream GV and Bombardier’s Global Express. This may be in part due the long distances travelled, but according to aircraft industry sources is mainly due to business people not wanting to be outdone by rivals.

Teenage Girl Felt Like 'Just A Toy To Mess About With', Court Told
Men accused in latest Bradford abuse case (Picture: Telegraph and Argus)
A teenager who was groomed to have sex with a group of Muslim men told a jury in Bradgord Crown Court the abuse made her feel was “just a toy to mess with.”
Now in her mid-twenties, the woman told the Court she turned to alcohol and cocaine and started self - harming as coping mechanisms. She was coerced into having sex with the men in turn after they began arriving at her house when she was 16, she alleged.
“It snowballed and I ended up sleeping with every single one of them. I lost my ability to say no,” she said.
The witness told police officers investigating the case she let the men “party” at her home in return for food and cigarettes. One evening while she was in her pyjamas, three cars arrived containing a group of men and two young women. They provided “loads of alcohol” and one of the men told her: “Go in the bedroom and put something sexy on.”
When she refused, he grabbed her by the hair and forced her to the bedroom. The woman said she was scared and changed into leggings and a sequined top. Another night, she thought her drink had been spiked. She could not move her arms and she was “out of it.” She recalled lying naked on a mattress with a light shining in her eyes. A man had been having sex with her and others were in the bedroom doorway, laughing.
The woman said she found out later that she had been filmed for what is known as 'narcoporn.' She blacked out and woke alone the next morning “feeling like I had just gone ten rounds with Mike Tyson.”
Asked how she felt about her life at that time, she said: “I don’t think I knew myself. I don’t think I was a person, just a toy to mess about with. I think I completely shut off from everything.”
She went on to describe how on one occasion she believed she was having sex with one man but turned to see it was another one that she didn’t like. He was “horrible” and laughing about it. “I know it was abuse but at the time I thought it was attention that I wasn’t getting anywhere else,” she said.
The woman said she felt hurt and embarrassed.
The interviewing police officer describes her breaking down in tears as she said: “It takes away your whole personality. You just become a shell. There is nothing there. “I just wanted someone to care about me but no one ever did.”
She had undiagnosed mental health problems at the time and no support, she stated. “That was the only life I saw myself having,” she said, adding that she feared one of her abusers would end up killing her. The woman and another female complainant who suffered similar abuse at the hands of the gang were in the same Bradford children’s home when the sexual abuse began, it is alleged.
The jury has been told the teenagers were “ripe to be manipulated and vulnerable to exploitation.”
There are strong parallels with cases in Rotherham, Oxford, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, Telford and many other towns with large immigrant communities around the country.

Yellow Vests Protest Merkel-Macron Plan To Integrate Defence, Foreign Policy
by Egbert Nobakon
The left wing wankerati will not doubt be screaming about racism and xenophobia when they learn of the latest exploits of the Yellow vest movement. This time it is the German branch of the movement who were out in the streets protesting against the latest step Hausfrau - Volksfuhrer Merkel and The Boy Macron have taken towards politically integrating Germany and France, a plot not mentioned by mainstream media but on which Original Boggart Blog and The Daily Stirrer have been following developments HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE, which they hope would create a strong enough axis to bully the other member states, one Britain is gone, into surrendering national sovereignty to the German - French dominated bloc.
But the people aren't buying it. Arrogant, aloof and catastrophically out of touch with the people they lead, the globalists Merkel and Macron seem convinced that the only way to end the civil unrest that is dividing their nations is to offer the voters bigger doses of the policies that caused the problems. More mass immigration, more exporting jobs to cheap labour economies and more pandering to Islamic extremists in the name of "multiculturalism and diversity."
In globalist circles that might be considered high intellect, but where I, most of my friends, and supporters of the Yellow vest live, it is called plain fucking stupid. Which is why German citizens wearing the iconic Yellow Vests that have become the symbol of the anti - establishment movement across Europe, protested against this move for which neither leader has a democratic mandate.
As the boy Macron and Hausfau - Volksfuher Merkel met to sign the treaty which aims to bring together the economic and defence policies of France and Germany in a prototype “Sovereign Europe”, German Yellow Vests supporters, joined by some who had travelled from France, protested outside.
German and French Yellow Vests outside the public hall in Aachen where Merkel and Macon were signing a mutual arse - kissing treaty. Picture RT)
Germany’s Angela Merkel and France’s Emmanuel Macron have negotiated an expansion of the 1963 French-German reconciliation Élysée treaty in Aachen, Germany, which they hope will pave the way for a Federal European superstate, and signed the deal on Tuesday.
The Treaty of Aachen proposes to integrate aspects of France and Germany, as the press statement euphemistically put it, including forging closer ties on economic, defence and foreign policy, merging public transport networks and utilities in border regions, creating a common economic area, and developing shared social and political fields, according to Euractiv.
The most controversial part of the treaty however, is the advancement of plans for defence, building on Merkel’s earlier pledges of for Macron’s ambition to create an EU army. So stupid is this proposal (do these two insaniacs have the faintest idea of how Poland, Hungary, Greece and other countries occupied by the Nazis in World War Two are going to react when asked to hand control of their armed forces to Germany and the cheese eating surrender monkey collaborators of France.
Dr Merkel told media on Tuesday: “We commit ourselves to forming a joint military culture, a common defence industry, a common line and common policy on arms exports. In so doing, we wish to give our contribution to the development of a new European army.
“This will only work if we coordinate at the same time our foreign policies.”
Its signing was meant to send a message to Eurosceptics that the two EU leaders would continue their efforts to further integrate not only the EU, but their own countries. It seems the message being picked up by voters is not the one she wanted them to hear.

The Yellow Vests, Deplorables and Gammons Are Here To Stay
Yellow Vests in Paris on 21 January.
The Gilets Jaunes (yellow vest)movement, which began as a Facebook group for dissatisfied French drivers almost a year ago and since the Macron government proposed a hike in fuel taxes for petrol and diesel cars spakred the first street protests, has mushroomed into a people's rebellion against globalism and corporatism. It has worried the French establishment and succeeded in forcing the usually arrogant and imperious President Macron into offering what globalist fellow travellers in mainstream media call major concessions from the government,

'Yellow Vests' Protests Becoming A Revolution - 10th Weekend of Civil Unrest in France
Yellow vest demonstrators gathered in the French capital on Saturday for the 10th consecutive weekend of anti-government protests titled "Act 10". Protesters filled the streets of Paris and other cities in France, with thousands of police standing guard. Earlier, President Emmanuel Macron launched his “national debates” on the crisis.
Around 84,000 people joined the protests across the country on Saturday, the Interior Ministry said, showing that despite official resposts that support is dwindling the mass protests against elitist president Emmanuel Macron is not losing momentum.. The turnout was comparable to that of last week, meaning that the nation-wide debate on the crisis announced by President Emmanuel Macron has done little to change the people’s moods. No wonder, when the academic sppointed by Marcon at a salary ten times greater than the median household income, for a part time job, has alread been forced to resign due to public pressure.
In Paris yesterday, the Yellow Vests gathered in the Champs-Elysees and the Esplanade des Invalides near the nation’s parliament. People waved national flags and set off firecrackers.
Yellow Vest processions took place in Caen and Rouen, both in northern France. The rallies were also held in Strasbourg, Bordeaux, Toulon, Dijon, Beziers, Avignon, among other places.
Demonstrators started to assemble by the Invalides esplanade in the 7th arrondissement of Paris at 11:30 a.m. local time (10:30 GMT).
The crowd were shouting anti-government slogans, and singing protest songs. Demonstrators marched almost 10 miles through downtown Paris. Although there were fewer reports of violence, ffter the four-hour event ended in the afternoon a group of youths clashed with police outside Les Invalides complex of military museums.
Police were bombarded with bottles and garbage and responded with tear gas and water cannon, eyewitnesses reported. The radicals shouted insults back at them and hurled firecrackers.
As many as 80,000 law enforcement officers have been mobilized across France to keep order during the demonstrations which are also taking place in other French cities, the BFMTV broadcaster reported citing the French Interior Ministry.
Some protesters held up cardboard coffins, in memory of people who have died since the beginning of the protests (the majority was killed in traffic accidents during road blockades). They marched under a large banner reading “Citizens in danger.”

Liberal News Site BuzzFeed Pilloried On Social Media After Fake News 'bombshell' on Mueller & Trump
Social media site Twitter has been a leading force in witch hunt by the US liberal left to impeach President Trump, constantly calling on the Special Counsel team headed by Obama appointee Robert Mueller to trigger the impeachment process they believe would result in Trump being removed from office, even though the Mueller inquiry has produced no evidence of 'high crimes and misdemeanours' against the president.
Since Trump's vicory in the 2016 election wild accusations that he collaborated with the Russian government have been flung about by Democrat politicians, liberal media organisations and Hollywood luvvies, none of which have been supported by a shred of credible evidence.
The latest fiaso occurred this week, when the strongly liberal buzzfeed online news site ran a story that proof had ben obtained of Trump ordering his lawyer to lie to Congressional investigators. Left leaning news channels and print media went into meltdown, claiming that it wad the 'smoking gun' that linked Donald J Trump and Vladimir Putin in a conspiracy to steal the election from Hillary Clinton. The excitement was shortlibed however, Mueller himself stated the BuzzFeed report claiming Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen lied to Congress on his boss' orders was "not accurate."
Or to use a buzz phrase, it was Buzzfeed FAKE NEWS.
Twitter having been set alight by the BuzzFeed story that claimed to have proof that President Donald Trump directly instructed his former attorney, Michael Cohen, to lie before Congress on his plans to build a hotel in Moscow that would have seen him meeting Russian officials, was reignited when Mueller shot it down.
After the "bombshell" was picked up (to a great extent uncritically) by the mainstream media, which floated impeachment through a legion of ever-ready pundits, it was beautifully ironic that the scoop was busted by the office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller himself.
Gov. Mike Huckabee tweeted: @GovMikeHuckabee Breaking Wind from CNN! Buzzfeed will change it's name to "Buzzard Feed" because it proudly stands by its discredited, un-sourced, and utterly laughable Fake News about @realDonaldTrump so even after rebuke by Mueller it eats dead, rotted flesh of the roadkill of their story.
Facing a torrent of ridicule and derision, BuzzFeed tried to stand by its claims while others on the left rallied round. BuzzFeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith called on Mueller to clarify what exactly he had denied. "We stand by our reporting and the sources who informed it," he tweeted.
MSNBC's Chris Matthews (who famously "felt a tingle run up his leg" when he heard Obama speak, - no suggestion of political bias on his part then,) argued that the report being inaccurate "does not mean it is not true," while NBC's Ken Dilanian said Mueller denied only that part of the report that said he had obtained Trump organization documents supporting the allegations. He did not publish his evidence of course.

Furious Yellow Vest protestors Clash with police ahead of Macron's summit with Mayors
France's crisis surrounding the presidency of Emmanuel Macron’s and his elitist style of governing continued to escalate today as poll showed Marcon's approval ratings plummeting to new lows and protestors staging angry demonstrations across the country. The so called Gilets Jaunes (yellow vests) protests which started in November have previously been confined to weekends but are now starting to take place throughout the week.
Protestors have today taken to the streets in Souillac ahead of Mr Macron’s arrival today. In tense scenes, demonstrators are facing off against heavily-armed police in the Occitan city.
It was an inauspicious start to Macron's grande debate, a project from which the wealthy elitist he appointed (at ten times a workers salary,) to the part time task of leading, has already been foreced to resign due to public disgust.
Back to Contents TableGoogle Staff Outrage When Boss Uses The Word Family - It's sexist, HomophobiC and Offensive
We know (and have reported many times,) that Google is an unpleasantly authoritarian organisation which embraces fashionanle 'liberal' causes only to advance its agenda of imposing the warped values of a bunch of Californian hippy acidheads on the world. We also know the search engine, along with its parent company Alphabet's many subsidiaries, is staffed by milktoast liberals and spineless snowflakes and that any employee found to hold an even slightly conservative point of view on anything will be hounded out of their job very quickly.
It is a matter of public record that Google employees have been fired for telling the truth, if the truth did not coincide with the message Google was trying to spread.
And despite many a public backlash, facing heavy fines from governments for violating local laws, and incurring the wrath of President Trump because of repeated abuses of users privacy and applying political bias when ranking search results. But, in loyaly devotion to the best Silicon Vallley tradition, Google continues to behave as if it is above the law and in fact makes the law, defines what can and cannot be said and how we must all behave. And the brainwashed staff are as bad as the neo - fascist corporate bosses.
A Google executive has 'trigggered' many of the fragile snowflakes employed by the wannabe World Domination Corp. by using the word “family” in a weekly, corporate presentation, according to internal documents leaked to The Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF).
Many employees became angry when the word was used while discussing a product marketed to children, because it implied that families have children, the documents reveal. The outrage became so intense that a Google VP conducted an exercise to obtain feedback on how the company's language could be made more inclusive.
The DCNF was handed the documents by a source who understadably insisted upon anonymity before sharing share them.
It is reported that one employee angrily walked out of the March 2017 presentation when an executive “continued to show (awesome) Unicorn product features which continually use the word ‘family’ as a synonym for ‘household with children.’” The employee posted an angry diatribe on an internal forum on why linking families to children is “offensive, inappropriate, homophobic, and wrong.” Apparently this was well-received by colleagues.
Here is an extract from that rant:
This is a diminishing and disrespectful way to speak. If you mean “children”, say “children”; we have a perfectly good word for it. “Family friendly” used as a synonym for “kid friendly” means, to me, “you and yours don’t count as a family unless you have children”. And while kids may often be less aware of it, there are kids without families too, you know.
The use of “family” as a synonym for “with children” has a long-standing association with deeply homophobic organizations. This does not mean we should not use the word “family” to refer to families, but it mean we must doggedly insist that family does not imply children.
Even the sense, “suitable for the whole family”, which you might think is unobjectionable, is totally wrong too. It only works if we have advance shared conception of what “the whole family” is, and that is almost always used to mean a household with two adults, of opposite sex, in a romantic/sexual relationship, with two or more of their own children. If you mean that as a synonym for “suitable for all people” stop and notice the extraordinary unlikelihood of such a thought! So “suitable for the whole family” doesn’t mean “all people”, it means “all people in families”, which either means that all those other people aren’t in families, or something even worse. Use the word “family” to mean a loving assemblage of people who may or may not live together and may or may not include people of any particular age. STOP using it to mean “children”. It’s offensive, inappropriate, homophobic, and wrong.
Roughly 100 other Google employees upvoted the post, signaling their agreement. Other Google employees also echoed their displeasure with the term. “Thanks for writing this. So much yes,” one wrote.
So as well as controlling the information we see, Google emplyees see their tasks as including the rewriting of the dictionary. The above example of the priggish, self - righteous attitude of snowflakes to a perfectly innocuous word usage show that while such people are always eager to accuse those who disagree with them of bigotry and intolerance, it is in fact they who are intolerant bigots, people so immersed in their obsessive desire to impose a completely warped set of authoritarian moral values on all of society they are unaware their behaviour is exactly like that of the fascists theu claim to abhor.

Brexit Is Now About More Than Leaving The EU
Cartoon source: www. cartoonmovement.com
Until now we have not posted anything on the shenanigans in parliament in the past few days over Brexit. Our position is well know to our few thousand readers a day and will quickly become obvious to new visitors and let's face it, the saturation coverage on TV and radio, in newspapers and online has left no room for a small alt_news site to say anything not already said. The whole thing is a craptangle, end of story, but it was obvious from the day Cameron did a runner and the Conservative Party engineered a situation in which the abysmal Theresa May was left as the only candidate for the leadership that there could be no other outcome.
Apart from having a track record as a remainer, albeit a slimy one who lack the courage to nail her colours to the mast (but that has always been her style, May has always been a woman driven by raw ambition and an outsize sense of entitlement along with the intelligence and skillset of a rather mediocre middle manager. But that alone doesn't explain why she made such a mess of trying to deliver Brexit.
Listening to politicians and media 'experts' you could be forgiven for thinking its a think it's an enormously complex and nebulous task, way 'beyond the understanding of us mere mortals. In reality the reason 'Brexit' has turned out such a mess is quite simple: for the last two and a half years Britain's political establishment has been trying to make Brexit disappear so we could go back to business as usual with a remote and unaccountable bureaucratic dictatorship in Brussels exercising ever more power over our nation.
Look at it logically, of the 650 UK Members of Parliament, about 70% represent constituencies where the majority of people voted for Brexit, but Members of Parliament favour staying in the EU by a majority of at least 70% to 30%. Well think of all those expenses paid jollies they will miss out on, several days at a time in the very best hotels eating the most exotoic foods, drinking the finest wines, having the most gorgeous high clas prostitutes delivered to their door, (oh yes - I was once working in a European capital when the political circus hit town, at the time I was earning big money, about ten times the average income, and the girls that followed the politicians and experts into town were asking for one night the equivalent of what I made in a month. Ironically the 'event' was a conference on stopping the spread of AIDS.
I digress, back to Brexit, when Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron, a globalist from the Cultural Marxist wing of the party, who has always been against leaving the EU, suffered a humiliation at the nads of British voters when we did not deliver the result had had so condidently expected, having staked his career on his ability to frighten us into rejecting the chance to leave the EU which was rapidly progressing from being a free trade group of European nations to becoming a federal superstate, with the national sovereignty of member states ceded to the EU commission in Brussels he petulantly quit. On succeeding him, Theresa May, appointed a team of politicians know to have supported seaparing the UK from the EU for years to neotiate the terms of leaving, then proceeded to undermine their efforts by making agreements behind closed doors with EU officials which hegated the work of her negotiators. After numerous resigations from members of her team, senior government ministers and members of prliamentary committees disgusted at the way the democratic vote was being betrayed. Eventually May, claiming she had taken charge of negotiations herself, delegated the job to a clique of rabidly Remain supporting civil servants who negotiated the pseudo-Brexit deal that would in effect keep the UK bound to the EU and under the jurisdiction of EU courts and lawmakers, while losing the few advantages that devolve from full membership.
That deal, which the EU loved and everyone in Britain (even Remain supporters,) hated, was the one voted down by a massive majority in Parliament. Leave supporting MPs saw it as a betrayal odf democracy, Remain supporters among our elected representatives were angry that we would not be part of the Federal Republic of Europe, but a vassal state.
The last 2.5 years of British politics have been a farce, is that while a majority of the British citizens who bothered to vote supported leaving the EU, their elected representatives on both sides of the house, along with mainstream media, the academic community and the state sector do not want to leave the EU and from day one are determined to make sure it never happend. This is the truth, to claim otherwise is to suggest British politicians were always as clueless about the nature of the UK's relationship with the EU as the most of the British public (not all of us, but a few; for example I spent nearly a year working for the EU in the 1980s, even then the plan was to marginalise Britain, the only eU member state capable of challenging the Franco = German axis domination of the bloc.
Here's a very brief summary of the full story. The decision that Brexit should not be allowed to happen was taken immediately after the result of the referendum was announced in 2016, that the establishment, in collaboration with the EU, were determined to overturn the result should have been evident to anyone with eyes to see. UK politics over last 2.5 years has not been primarily concerned with Brexit but with internal political power games, i.e. British politicians (with a few honourable exceptions,) positioning themselves within the British political system, which they are sure will remain an integral part of the EU, thus there will be plenty of easy jobs on enormous (and tax free) salaries available as political integration moves ahead.
The Conservative strategy since then has been to hold on to power at all costs by attempting to convince their voter base, through a mixture of project fear, unsubstantiated claims that the UK economy would collapse after leaving the EU, and the creation of fictitious national security threats (the demonisation of Russia and hyping the radical Islam bogeyman,) that the future after a clean Brexit would be bleak and dangerous, and that Theresa May's 'deal' is actually Brexit, when clearly it is anything but. The EU has been on exactly the same page as Theresa May and her pet civil servants all along.
At the same time, the Labour party has identified 'Brexit' as their best chance to force both a no-confidence vote in May's government and general election which they hoped to win by a landslide as voters turned on the Conservatives for betraying a demovratic vote. The no-confidence vote happened this evening and, as expected, the Conservatives survived with the support of Northern Ireland's 'more British than the Queen' Democratic Unionist Party (which has its own agenda to prevent the breakup of the United Kingdom and the reunification by stealth of Ireland, a situation engineered by that slimy little pouf Varadkar, who heads the Irish government).
.It should be remembered that David Cameron's decision to 'green light' the referendum was narrow, party political manoeuvreing. At the time of the 2015 election, the Conservative party was concerned that the 'far-right' as the media calls them, anti - EU party UKIP - which had run a decades-long campaign for the UK to leave the EU - would attract enough support from traditional Conservative voters (the majority of whom wanted to leave the EU) it would be impossible for the conservatives to win an election. That is why Cameron, even though he is a committed globalist and an ardent 'Remainer', assented to the referendum. That and his absolute confidence that a campaign of propaganda and misinformation would deliver the result he wanted. At the time, the bi-partisan British political establishment was convinced that - when it came down to it - the majority of voters would vote to remain in the EU. When a majority voted for Brexit, they were more than a little shocked.
But an important question that has been mostly overlooked throughout the Brexit face is; what, exactly, galvanized so many British people to vote to leave the EU definitively? To understand that, one must look at the Yellow Vests protests and success of Marine Le Pen's Rasemblement national in France, the success of parties like th AfD in Germany and Sweden Democrats, Lega and Five Star Movement in Italy and the resurgence of nationalism throughout Europe. And we should not forget the rejection of establishment politics by voters in the USA when they chose Donald Trump over the corrupt, tainted, Washington insider Hillary Clinton as their president.

Sweden to end months without a government
Swedish Prime Minister stefan Lofven (Photo: T Camus, AP)
Since the inconclusive election in September 2018, in an example of the pro EU, globalist political establishment showing contempt for the democratically expressed wishes of the people, Sweden has been without an effective government as establishment parties, supported by mainstream media and the EU conspired to deny the Eurosceptic Sweden Democrats the share of power they had earned at the election. With all parties refusing to work with the Sweden Democrats (often called a far right party although the only policy they are to the right of the socialists on is mass immigration,) Social Democrat PM Stefan Lofven is set to retain his post by promising to move his party, the Social Democrats, to the right.
Socialist extremists The Left Party on Wednesday and allow Prime Minister Stefan Lofven to take a second term in office. The Left party said it would abstain in a crucial vote on Friday, clearing the way for Lofven and his patchwork coalition.
Lofven, leader of the Social Democrats, has been leading a caretaker government since elections on September 9 left neither the 'centre right' not the 'centre left' bloc able to form a government. Although the Social Democrats won the most votes, their 31.1% support left them too far off the numbers they needed to form a coalition with The Greens and other left groups in a country with eight mainstream parties and proportional representation. The right bloc could have formed a coalition but the smug, self - righteous Christian Democrats would not accept the participation of the Sweden Democrats. The obvious answer was a rerun of the general election but with all the signs showing the Sweden Democrats and their only allies The Moderates looking set to make more gains, the establishment parties wrre willing to do anything except that.
These problems were compounded by the fact that the thing Swedes fear more than a face to face confrontation with an Enochian demon or one of Daenerys Targaryen's Dragons from Game of Thrones is being accused of racism. most other parties wanted to govern without the support of the Left and the far-right Sweden Democrats. With the Left party, (never referred to as far - left though they are militant Maoists, far more extreme than the Sweden Democrats,) also being unacceptable coalition partners to the left bloc this left both sides unable to command a majority.
After four months of negotiations the Social Democrats have finally managed to cobble together an bodged up coalition of the left and right wing (similar to Merkel's dysfunctional coalition in Germany,) by gaining the support of the Greens, Liberals, and the Center party. In doing so, however, Lofven has had to promise to take his traditional center-left party to the right. A shift to the right in Swedish politics has been inevitable for years as loonytoons, politically correct government has reduced ti country to near - failed - state chaos.
"Sweden needs a government," said Lofven, adding that he was "humbled to have been nominated" for Friday's vote.
With the Left party abstaining from the vote, Lofven is pretty much guaranteed success. However, the leftists have warned that they would vote down the new government if the prime minister went forward with reforms on the labor law and rent hikes for newly-built homes so the future for Lofven's desperate big to cling to power looks bleak as the far left can bring down his government any time he does something that offends their extremist sensibilities.

Mass Immigration
Ghosts Of ’68 Threaten Macron’s Technocratic Dream.
by Arthur Quinnell
The idealistic hope that mass protests and civil disobedience could trigger real social change met with some success in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries but looked to have died after the USA's 1960s civil rights movement and anti - war protests. The recent mass demonstrations of Frane's gilets jaunes (yellow vests) movement in 2018, a movement which has spread to Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Britain, Italy, Sweden and Canada looks to have resurrected this style of political activism.
The yellow vest movement is not idologically fuelled as protests from the 1920s to 1960s were; it's fueled by desperation and what Francis Fukuyama in a recent essay (Against Identity Politics (Foreign Affairs, Sept/Oct. 2018),termed the working classes' "perception of invisibility" a view echoed by French geographer / author Christophe Guilluy who said that "the French people are using the gilets jaunes to say we exist." Unstoppable": Christophe Guilluy on the cultural divide driving the yellow vests (via Arshad A.)
"Not only does peripheral France fare badly in the modern economy, it is also culturally misunderstood by the elite. The yellow-vest movement is a truly 21st-century movement in that it is cultural as well as political. Cultural validation is extremely important in our era.The author expands on how the working-classes have come to be excluded?One illustration of this cultural divide is that most modern, progressive social movements and protests are quickly endorsed by celebrities, actors, the media and the intellectuals. But none of them approve of the gilets jaunes. Their emergence has caused a kind of psychological shock to the cultural establishment. It is exactly the same shock that the British elites experienced with the Brexit vote and that they are still experiencing now, three years later."
"All the growth and dynamism is in the major cities, but people cannot just move there. The cities are inaccessible, particularly thanks to mounting housing costs. The big cities today are like medieval citadels. It is like we are going back to the city-states of the Middle Ages. Funnily enough, Paris is going to start charging people for entry, just like the excise duties you used to have to pay to enter a town in the Middle Ages.And the role the liberal metropolitan elite played in this?The cities themselves have become very unequal, too. The Parisian economy needs executives and qualified professionals. It also needs workers, predominantly immigrants, for the construction industry and catering et cetera. Business relies on this very specific demographic mix. The problem is that ‘the people’ outside of this still exist. In fact, ‘Peripheral France’ actually encompasses the majority of French people."
We have a new bourgeoisie, but because they are very cool and progressive, it creates the impression that there is no class conflict anymore. It is really difficult to oppose the hipsters when they say they care about the poor and about minorities.By mobilizing 80,000 heavily armed "security forces" in an unsuccessful attempt to suppress dissent, as President Macron has, looks more like hard authoritarianism than soft totalitarianism. The boy Macron has of course tried to justify his heavy handed response by a fatuously claiming he has a duty to defend "the social order," i.e. to maintain the domination of the ruling elite.But actually, they are very much complicit in relegating the working classes to the sidelines. Not only do they benefit enormously from the globalised economy, but they have also produced a dominant cultural discourse which ostracises working-class people.
The middle-class reaction to the yellow vests has been telling. Immediately, the protesters were denounced as xenophobes, anti-Semites and homophobes. The elites present themselves as anti-fascist and anti-racist but this is merely a way of defending their class interests. It is the only argument they can muster to defend their status, but it is not working anymore.
Now the elites are afraid. For the first time, there is a movement which cannot be controlled through the normal political mechanisms. The gilets jaunes didn’t emerge from the trade unions or the political parties. It cannot be stopped. There is no ‘off’ button. Either the intelligentsia will be forced to properly acknowledge the existence of these people, or they will have to opt for a kind of soft totalitarianism."
But the French elites are discovering the unsettling reality that it's impossible to defend every traffic-speed camera, every bank, etc. from sabotage and that their working class challengers are smart enough to know this. I've often finished article calling for civil action against authoritarianism with the line, "THEY CAN'T PUT US ALL IN PRISON." It is intended as a warning to those who would control society, rather than an exhortation to those who challenge authority.
The class analysis of the current crisis shows a reversal of polarity from the 1968 general strike of elite students and labor unions. Fifty years ago, the students of the elite universities, in an orgy of virtue signalling (the left never changes though they scream for change,) lent their support to the trade unions and this combination nearly toppled the government with a general strike.
Now, students of the elite Paris universities, brainwashed with politically correct ideology on gay and trans rights, the desirability of mass immigration and the duty of nanny state to micromanage our private lives, are supporters of the technocrat elite, as the most fervent hope of most of these students is to nail down a position in a government department or QANGO, jobs which are threatened by the yellow vest dissenters.
The labor unions are also missing in action, as they are now adjuncts of the ruling elites, feeding at the same trough of tax revenues and corporate globalization-financialization profits and promoting the same policies that are damaging to working class living standards and social mobility: mass immigration, globasisation (which the working class recognise as exporting jobs,) Islamification of society, erosion of national sovereignty and cultural values and so on.
The gilets jaunes / yellow vests are a working class revolt against the elites, who like medieval aristocrats, regard the "lower orders" as stupid, infantile and in need of paternalistic guidance, and those among the working and lower middle class who identify with the elites: the pseudo-progressive hipsters, the aspiring technocrats and the comfortably secure state employees, all of whom are now on the elite side of the barricades.
The Paris elites and their enablers may find that the next general strike won't immobilize Paris, it will strangle Paris from the periphery. The unions which were on the democratic side of the barricades 50 years ago may find their identification with the ruling elite challenged, and they'll be forced to either remember their roots and side with the authentic working class (yellow vests) in a general strike or throw their support behind the undemocratic technocrats like Marcon and those in his administration, who planned to run France for the benefit of their own caste, the university educated, progressive liberal, globalist, soft left.
The quasi-progressives claim to be anti-fascist but are themselves the anti-working class fascists (Beniot Mussolini defined fascism as the collaboration of state and corporate business to exercise absolute power,) and are not appreciating the fact that the 'stupid working class oiks' of the Yellow Vest movement are exposing their self-serving hypocrisy. Like the US liberals of the early twentieth century, they are all for civil rights "so long as the niggers don't leave the plantation."
Here's a news snippet that encapsulates exactly what is wrong with the way Marcon and his elitist cronies are trying to handle the crisis. "On Tuesday, the person picked to lead the country's planned "great debate" on the issues resigned over her €14,666 monthly salary (£13,200; $16,800)" which is $200,000 annually, roughly seven or eight times the average worker's salary.
Now what kind of plonker would put an academic who already has a well paid position in charge of establishing dialogue with truck drivers, factory workers and labourers who, thanks to elitist policies, are stuggling to make ends meet. That's the kind of insensitivity responsible for triggering the anger that drives the protests, an illustration of class division in a nutshell. The fake-progressive technocrats are skimming $200,000 a year to defend an indefensible undemocratic neofeudal system of exploitation that handsomely benefits the few at the expense of the many. And the hypocrites call Marcon's opponent Marine Le Pen "far right." Bollocks.

West Yorkshire Police have arrested 55 men in connection with alleged historic child sexual abuse. Detectives investigating allegations grooming and sexual abuse of under age girls and vulnerable young women in the Kirklees region of Yourkshire have arrested 55 men as part of an ongoing investigation.
Arrests in the case began back in November 2018, according to a report in the Yorkshire Evening Post but details have only just ben released for reasons not disclosed. The individuals were arrested from addresses in Dewsbury, Batley and Bradford, West Yorkshire Police revealed today.
All 55 men arested so far have been interviewed and released under investigation as detectives continue to make inquiries.
The arrests began in November 2018, with the suspects identified as hailing from Dewsbury, Batley, and Bradford by a BBC report. The alleged abuse involves seven women said to have been targeted as children in the Kirklees area between 2002 and 2009.
“This investigation demonstrates the force’s ongoing commitment to the investigation of both current and non-recent sexual offences against children,” Detective Inspector Ian Thornes said.
“Child sexual abuse and exploitation is an abhorrent and heinous crime and one which affects some of the most vulnerable people in our society.”
The Detective Inspector issued a broad appeal for other victims to come forward, whether their abuse was historical or more recent, giving possible victims this assurance: “Please be assured that you will be listened to, taken seriously, and supported by professionals with experience of dealing with these kind of offences.”
The investigation centres on allegations made by seven women of sexual abuse committed against them as children predominantly in the Dewsbury and Batley area between 2002 and 2009.

READ ALL:LITTLE ISTANBUL: Turkish Muslims have made Germans feel like foreigners in their own country
When Turks buy a building, they don’t allow any German people to move in. The next thing you know, there is a mosque and soon the whole neighborhood has become a ‘NO GO Zone’ for non-Muslims.
Ignore the little story below about a “well-integrated” Turkish Muslim family in Germany. Their biggest complaint is being lumped in with Arab Muslims in the media because they believe Turks as superior to the Arabs, yet we never hear lefties screaming about such overt racism. In spite of their Western attire, these are Muslims first, Turks second and will never consider themselves Germans and members of a tolerant, multi racial community, nor truly assimilate into the German culture.
They are also a lot of Kurds in Germany thanks to the virtue signaling of the politically correct elite. To germans they look like the same,but they live in different worlds. Turks buy at Turk shops if they can,Kurds do the same. You will never see a Turk or Arab or African buying in a german bakery.And you know germany is known for their many different types of bread and their exotic cakes and pastries.
In the Ruhrpott Area(near Cologne)now, reports are reaching mainstream media of Turkish comunity members fleeing the area because of the Gypsies, an enthic group the Turkish Muslims regard as 'unclean' and refuse to live among.
First Swedish Yellow Vest Protest -Female speaker: “Put feminism on hold for 10-20 years”
Yellow vest movement arrives in Sweden and a female speaker shock smug liberals with rejection of the politically correct consensus (Sourve: VoiceofEurope.com
A Demonstration held in central Stockholm last weekrnd was the first major event in Sweden to feature Yellow Vests. There have been previous small protests by groups of people wearing the symbolic yellow vests but the weekend's even represents an escalation in support of the movement. This time, people gathered at Norrmalmstorg to show their dissatisfaction with how Sweden is governed.
The Swedes don’t riot, burn and smash things up like the immigrants they have let into the country, or the French yellow vests, – instead they hold peaceful events, orderly protests with popular speakers.
Standing in front of a lage Swedish flag, the speakers eloquently stated their opinion one at a time.
Independent politician Morten Källström asked why Sweden looks like it does today, with politicians who neither speak of the problems, (no - go zones, rocketing sex crime rates, inter - gang turf wars in cities, all linked to immigrant communities,) nor do something about them. “It is because we have no democracy. Our country is about as democratic as the former communist states of eastern Europe. We need politicians who dare speak up and state their opinion”, he stated and told the audience that, “Nepotism is the reason, and more power to the people is the answer.”
Theologian Irma Udelius argued that since feminism was elevated to state ideology in Sweden, the number of rapes has multiplied, and genital mutilation and child marriage have become part of everyday life. The solution, she explained, is to pause feminism and reinstate the patriarchy – for a period of 10-20 years. And then conduct a referendum to ascertain whether people think society has gotten better or worse.
“It is no longer about the right and the left, it’s about we, the people against our power-abusing politicians”, journalist and writer Katerina Janouch told the audience. “Between 2015 and 2018, we took in 522.980 migrants. An unimaginable amount that we are unable to handle. We spend billions on people without valid grounds for asylum, while our pensioners can’t afford a proper meal.”
“And yet so many continue to vote for this.” “Are they dumb in the head, or are they evil?”, she asked. “Both” the crowd replied.
She also mentioned the terrorist attack in Stockholm in 2017, where 5 people lost their lives – and the reaction – “hands and hearts against racism”. “Swedes are the least racist people in the world, and we do not need anti-racist manifestations, we need to raise up, and speak up and demand sound and sane politics.”
“We will not give up, we will continue to protest, this is just the beginning, she concluded and shouted, “For Sweden – against the abuse of power!” The audience repeated her words and applauded loudly.
It looks as if the yellow Vest movement might be developing into a serious challenge for the politically correct consensus that has metastized through the political establishments of the free world.

Integrity Initiative faces setback in Norway
The comically misnamed Integrity Initiative, an NGO supported by the UK government for the purpose of suppressing news and opinion critical of government and United Nations policy (a.k.a. fake news and putting in its place fabricated news stories and 'on message' propaganda masquerading as independent opinion (real news!), is on a crusade to create a unified anti-Russia narrative throughout Europe and the USA. Unfortunately Integrity Initiative has hit a roadblock: According to the organization, Norwegians are too skeptical of US politics and not adequately anti-Russia.
A series of leaks have revealed that Scottish-based NGO, which presents itself as a non-partisan warrior against disinformation and propaganda, received £2.5 million from the UK government to manufacture ficticious stories demonizing the Russian government, with the aim of manufacturing anti-Russia hysteria across the Western world.
Why governments and supranational bureaucracies such as NATO and the EU want to do this is anybody's guess, a return to 1950s cold war conditions cannot really be to anybody's advantage, unless of course the elites see their dream of a New World Order fading and are desperately trying to create a scary enough bogeyman to scare us into submission.
To accomplish their task, whatever it actually is, the organization recruited “clusters” of individuals working in entertainment, politics, media, and academics to help push the desired narrative.
Unfortunately, this strategy has faced unforeseen obstacles, the Yellow Vest movement in France has caused many people to question official narratives more closely, abandonment of mainstream news for independent news websites by a public not easily fooled by government spin and propaganda, and a leaker with a social conscience revealed Integrity Initiative internal documents which discussed strategies for discrediting or suppressing factual news reports and promoting in their place fake news stories critical of Russia and its allies. According to a leaked internal report detailing the organization’s activities in Norway, the Norwegian public are too “soft” on Russia – which is obviously unacceptable.
Outlining an August 2016 conference organized by the group in Oslo, the report that was listed along the fourth wave of leaks from Integrity Initiative laments that Norwegians are “generally inclined to be soft on Russia as a near neighbor in the North (where there is a tradition of friendship and a good working relationship).”
On top of that, some Norwegians refuse to blindly trust the United States or accept that the western neo-liberal democracies are always 'the good guys': “Although the public can be hard-nosed about Putin and Moscow’s policies, their skepticism of US/Western politics can lead to their being less critical of Russia’s position at times,” the report states. For Integrity Initiative, this problem is further exacerbated by the fact that “Norwegian journalists tend to give Russian information the same weight as Western information, not testing its veracity.”
The problem here is perhaps that Norwegian journalists test information from western government sources for veracity, and find it no more reliable than what we get from Russia.
Luckily the organization laid out “next steps” that should be taken to cure Norwegians of their dangerous level-headedness.
Integrity Initiative should “approach influential journalists to pick up this story and educate the public,” the report recommends. The report also calls on Integrity Initiative to “stimulate a series of papers” that align with their anti-Russia agenda.

British left & right don Yellow vests to demonstrate anger over political chaos, Brexit & migrants
UK Yellow Vests - source RT
While mainstream media and the UK government Ministry of Propaganda organisation, BBC News, try to brant the UK's Yellow Vests movement as 'far right' (anyone who is even slightly less fascistic than Chairman Mao is 'far right' according to modern, university brainwashed 'anarchists,' the people who put on their Yellow Vests to join British protests this weekend have embraced the ethos of the French movement by abandoning left - right name calling as both sides of the debate rally to the same symbol. This is not left versus right (a synthetic conflict engineered by propagandists and mainstream media,) and understood the battle is between the ruling elites and their cronies verus The People.
The Yellow Vests ceased to be a uniquely French phenomenon in mid December when protests took place in Netherlands, Belgium and other EU member states. Since then the movement has spread further afield with protestors in yellow vests taking to the streets in Egypt, India, Turkey, Canada and Australia. Before the Christmas break British protesters had started donning the distinctive high-visibility jackets to make their own (very different) points, but this weeken was the fiirst on which large scale demonstrations happened. In the UK, an array of left-wing movements vowed to use the yellow vest during their protests in favor of bringing down the Tory government and abandoning austerity. RT’s Polly Boiko explains. But this is where the similarities between the French and British factions end.
Far Right sand Far Left activists, some of whom belong to hardcore far-right groups like the English Defence League or Far left organisations like Aintifa or Unite Against Fascism, are also trying to capitalie on the hi - vis vest symbol of protest. They vent their anger at the Brexit deal stalemate, heckle politicians, and harass Muslims and Jews both online and offline. Such groups “who are trying to use anger and mobilize it against refugees and migrants and ethnic minorities are not welcomed in our demonstrations,” said Shabbir Lakha, spokesman for the anti-austerity People’s Assembly. He doesn't seem to have a problem with people who harass Brext supporters, conservatives, Jews, or white people who stray into the wrong part of town of course.

div id="190112-france-yellow vests">Thousands of Yellow Vests March in Paris and Bourges
As if in response to reports from 'fake news' mainstream media organisations that support from the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow vests) movement in France is dwindling, thousands of protestors wearing yellow vests marched in the streets of Paris as others were gathering in the central French city of Bourges in protest against the government of Emmanuel Macron. The demonstrations took place amid high security measures as authorities feared possible violence between police and protesters.
In Paris thousands of people gathered near the Finance Ministry in at around 11 a.m. (1000 GMT; 5 a.m. EST) and were walking peacefully in the central streets of the capital. They were planning to head toward Champs-Elysees avenue. Paris police say 24 people were arrested Saturday before the protests started, primarily for carrying potential weapons.
Meanwhile, yellow vest protesters were also gathering in Bourges, a provincial capital with a renowned Gothic cathedral and picturesque wood-framed houses, where online groups mounted calls through the week for actions.
Authorities deployed 80,000 security forces nationwide for a ninth straight weekend of anti-government protests. Interior Minister Christophe Castaner threatened tough retaliation against rioters and their backers, warning of increasing radicalization among the largely peaceful demonstrators.
The numbers of people protesting diminished over the holidays but there has been a resurgence this week, despite President Emmanuel Macron’s promises of tax breaks, higher public spending and an upcoming “national debate” to address demonstrators’ concerns. Not only do protesters believe these are false promises, they have lost what little trust in the politiocal establishment they had at the time Marcon was elected, and want deeper changes to France’s economy and politics, seen as favouring the rich and corporate businesses.
For the mass of ordinary people, far from the political, financial, media centers of power in Paris, democracy is already moribund, and their movement is an effort to save it. Ever since Margaret Thatcher decreed that “there is no alternative”, Western economic policy is made by technocrats for the benefit of financial markets, claiming that such benefits will trickle down to the populace. The trickle has largely dried up, and people are tired of having their needs and wishes totally ignored by an elite who “know best”.
President Emmanuel Macron’s New Year’s Eve address to the nation made it perfectly clear that after one unconvincing stab at throwing a few crumbs to the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vests) protest movement, he has determined to get tough
France is entering a period of turmoil. The situation is very complex, and made more difficult for the authorities to understand because the protestors are a true grass roots movement, with no political ideology, no leaders and no formal organisation behind them. Inevitably some sections of French media and a few pro - EU politicians have tried to suggest Russia is behind the unrest, but this is plainly ridiculous.
The Yellow Vests gather in conspicuous places where media coverage is guaranteed: the Champs-Elysées in Paris, main squares in other cities towns, and the numerous traffic circles on the edge of small towns. Unlike traditional demonstrations, the Paris protests have been very loose and spontaneous, people just walking around and talking to each other, with no leaders and no speeches.
The absence of leaders is what separates the movement from normal political activism. All politicians, even friendly ones, are mistrusted and no one is looking for a new leader. People are organizing their own meetings to air their grievances and voice demands.
In the village of Commercy, Lorraine, a half hour drive from Domrémy where Joan of Arc was born, inhabitants gathered to read their proclamation. Six of them read in turns, a paragraph each, making it quite clear that they want no leaders, no special spokesperson. They sometimes stumble over a word, they are not used to speaking in public like the TV talking heads. Their “Second appeal of the Gilets Jaunes de Commercy invites others to come to Commercy on January 26-27 for an “assembly of assemblies”.
Yellow Vests protest in Commercy (scroll down to continue reading report):This was in a small community, similar events have taken place, unreported, all over France while the noisier, more violent protests in the large cities claim worldwide news coverage. But the Commercy protest demonstrates the depth of dissatisfaction with government in France, but not conflined to France.
Today as in previous weeks, Paris police deployed armored vehicles, horses and attack dogs around the city today. Subway stations and some shops closed, notably around government buildings and the Champs-Elysees, the avenue where the presidential palace is located. Luxury boutiques in the avenue have been hard hit by repeated rioting in past protests.
In a press statement Paris police said they had made several arrests before Saturday’s actions, notably in France’s historic Gypsy or traveler community, which has called for protests in support of a boxer caught on video punching police last weekend in central Paris. That incident dominated French media over the past week and prompted fears of escalated tensions between protesters and police. Boxer Christophe Dettinger turned himself in to police and is in custody pending trial.
Such tactics by government and police areonly likely to harden attitudes in the protest movement.
Alleged Rape Gang on Trial in Bradford, England
An alleged grooming gang accused of abusing underage girls in a children’s care home is on trial in Bradford, England.
Prosecutor Kama Melly QC told the court the prosecution will prove that all the men have “exploited and manipulated” the two alleged victims in 2008, when they were aged 14, “in a variety of ways, taking advantage of their youth and the situation. [T he girls] found themselves in, both just entering care and in really difficult circumstances,” the BBC reports.
“Some of the defendants were actually forceful, threatening and violent, others used alcohol and drugs, others created a manipulated relationship in order to facilitate their sexual exploitation,” she added.

Uproar as Islamists Reportedly Spotted at Muslim Meeting in Cologne, Germany
Hausfrau - Volksfuhrer Merkel, first Islamic chancellor of Germany
Leading representatives of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, an organisation with known links to terrorism, fow whichj it is banned in some countries, have been identified at a recent conference in Cologne, dedicated to the future of European Muslims. The event’s organisers have insisted it is important to stay in contact with all "socially relevant groups".
The Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (DITIB), organisers of the II Meeting of European Muslims in Cologne's recently opened central mosque (the biggest in Germany,) is facing criticism in Germany over reports about Muslim Brotherhood participation in its event.
As newspaper Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger reported, Muslim brotherhood members attended the event along with about a hundred guests, who gathered to discuss the future of Muslims in Europe. The regional government's Interior Ministry in North Rhine-Westphalia confirmed that two participants were identified as ones linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, which is on the highest priority watch list of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
Politicians from both the Christian Democrat Union (CDU) and the Social Democrats (SPD) have criticised the organisers for inviting extremists to be part of the forum. The head of the city district, where the event took place, also lambasted the DITIB, which has also been censured for receiving support from Turkey’s religious affairs ministry Diyanet. Josef Wirges (SPD) told the German broadcaster ARD that he had not been informed about the three-day congress.
"That was not right, and that also annoys me", he said.
Although in it's final statement from the event, the DITIB mentioned terrorist organisations that abuse Islamic teachings, there was no reference to the Muslim Brotherhood or any specific extremist group. Instead it expressed concern over physical manifestations of Islamophobia.
Muslim Brotherhood Work Purposefully to Infiltrate Swedish Politics — Researcher
The security authorities in Germany are concerned about the incresing number of Muslim Brotherhood supporters in Germany. In an interview with the German news magazine Focus, head of the regional office for constitutional protection commented that the danger posed by the Muslim Brotherhood is much greater than by Salafists.
Since its founding in Egypt in 1928, the Muslim Brotherhood has become a pan-Islamic organisation with over a million worldwide members in 70 countries. It is regarded as a terrorist organisation in many countries, including Russia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. In Sweden, the MB has been active since the late 1970s.

"We Don't Take Orders From Bolton": US Withdrawal From Syria Begins
How the Democrats and left leaning media mocked Trump when, after he announced a withdrawal from Syria, Security adviser John Bolton said, "Sure, we're going to withdraw sometime, but not for a few years yet. National Security Advisor, Bolton, an old school neocon was joined by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, an old school fat bloke, who suggested earlier this week that US troops would remain in Syria for at least a little while longer.
The confidence of these military / industrial complex plants in the Trump administration was misplaced however, Associated Press reported on Friday that the US has begun the process of removing the 2,000 soldiers based in northeastern Syria.
The AP report was based on information from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights; the withdrawal officially began Thursday night local time. A convoy of armored vehicles and trucks left the town of Rmeilan into drove across the border into Iraq. Col. Sean Ryan, of the coalition fighting the Islamic State terrorists confirmed that the US has started "the process of deliberate withdrawal from Syria."
US Withdrawal from Syria gets under way (Source: Zero Hedge
Trump's decision last month to pull US troops out of Syria angered former Defense Secretary James Mattis, who resigned over the decision, and stoked fears that Trump was abandoning the Kurds to a massacre by Turkish forces, who have vowed to pick up the slack in Syria when it comes to fighting ISIS.
"These have been folks that have fought with us and it’s important that we do everything we can to ensure that those folks that fought with us are protected," Pompeo said of the Kurds while visiting Irbil, the capital of Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, after talks in Baghdad.
After ordering airstrikes in Syria in 2014, President Obama deployed troops on the ground the following year to combat, ostensibly to combat ISIS but Obama is known for his love of terrorists ans Islam and stated many times his priority was to remove the Assad regime. US actions against ISIS, which at the time controlled large swaths of northeastern Syria were ineffectual, some said intentionally, and it was not until Russia and Iran stepped up to support the Syrian government that the terrorists began to suffer setbacks. Since then, the group has been beaten back, and now control only 1% of their former territory.
Initially, Trump had said the pullout would be complete within a matter of weeks, but plans became murky after the Pentagon requested four months to complete the withdrawal. Last night, the Wall Street Journal reported that the withdrawal would begin immediately.
To account for shifts in plans, the military will stage the personnel and equipment needed for a possible withdrawal, rather than move the U.S. forces out. Troops tasked to help with the eventual withdrawal already are in the area, in places like Kuwait and al-Asad air base in western Iraq.
"Nothing has changed," one defense official said. "We don’t take orders from Bolton." A reminder to the military perhaps that no mattert what the DC Democrats and Hollywood liberal luvvies think of him, Trump is Commander in Chief as long as the holds the office of president.

Salvini Visits Poland To Discuss "Eurosceptic Alliance"
Finding himself and other European Union (EU) leaders opposed to political integration of the bloc into a federal superstate dominated by Germany and France under constant pressure from the increasingly authoritarian EU commission as it tries to impose its globalist agenda on member states, the de fact leader of Italy's democratic government, Matteo salvini, is not without allies. Salvini is emerging as the Eurosceptic figurehead for EU member states that have embraced a more conservative, populist or anti-immigration position or found themselves at loggerheads with the authoritarian, unelected, bureaucracy in Brussels, either through Article 7 threats against Hungary, a rule-of-law investigation into Poland's ruling party or threats of an excessive debt proceeding against Italy. The leaders of these states finally appear to be banding together to try and push back against Brussels.
According to a report from Reuters, Matteo Salvini, nominally Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister because the EU, once again showing its contempt for democracy, refused to accept the leader of the democratically elected government, is planning to meet with the leader of Poland’s ruling party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, on Wednesday to look at the possibility of creating a "eurosceptic alliance" to contest in the European Parliamentary elections in May, and probably replace the dominant pro - federalism alliance in the European Parliament.
Matteo Salvini
The idea is part of a broader plan by eurosceptic governments that hope to "fundamentally shift the political balance of the European Union after the Europe - wide election." Salvini's visit to Warsaw will take place at the invitation of Polish Interior Minister Joachim Brudzinski.
"(The election) will show whether the eurosceptic voices within Europe are on the rise or if the rise has been curtailed for the moment," said Michal Baranowski, the head of the German Marshall Fund’s Warsaw office.
Salvini, the leader of Italy’s Eurosceptic, anti-immigrant League Party and one of the two men effectively running the country (along with Movement Five Star leader Luigi Di Maio), has repeatedly criticized the EU for meddling in the domestic politics of member states and warned that Italy's is ready to leave the single currency system. The country was bullied into joining when tying its weak economy to Germany's industrial powerhouse was always going to result in an economic catastrophe for Italy and both Salvini and Di Maio are on record as saying membership of the Euro has harmed Italy.
The May elections are important for creating a "reformist" bloc that supporters hope can change the EU from within, halting the push towards political union and returning the bloc to its originally stated purpose of being simply a free trade and economic cooperation organisation of sovereign states.
Meanwhile the deluded duo, Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron set the stage for a nucleus of a European Federal Superstate by signing a “twinning” treaty to strengthen Franco-German ties, a move which has been criticised in both nations as an “erosion” of national sovereignty. It is certainly an ill advised step with Merkel, at the head of a fragile coalition, while Marcon's elitist, globalist policies have caused civil unrest in his country as Yellow Vest protestors stage disruptive protests.
The German chancellor, architech of the immigration crisis that triggered the conflict among EU member states and the resurgence of nationalism among voters, and the aloof, globalist French president who prmised he would govern "in the manner of a Roman God" are set to formalise their already close co-operation with shared defence, foreign and economic policy, and business regulations in what is seen as an attempt to create a prototype for a more politically integrated Europe, The Times reports.
As European Union members, states have already abandoned many of their sovereign rights by ditching their national currencies for the euro, agreeing to open borders within the bloc, and submitting to European courts as their highest legal arbiter.

It is certainly an ill advised step with Merkel, at the head of a fragile coalition, while Marcon's elitist, globalist policies have caused civil unrest in his country as Yellow Vest protestors stage disruptive protests.
The German chancellor, architech of the immigration crisis that triggered the conflict among EU member states and the resurgence of nationalism among voters, and the aloof, globalist French president who prmised he would govern "in the manner of a Roman God" are set to formalise their already close co-operation with shared defence, foreign and economic policy, and business regulations in what is seen as an attempt to create a prototype for a more politically integrated Europe, The Times reports.
As European Union members, states have already abandoned many of their sovereign rights by ditching their national currencies for the euro, agreeing to open borders within the bloc, and submitting to European courts as their highest legal arbiter.

'Hate Speech' Convictions In Sweden Soar Tenfold As Government Cracks Down On Critics Of It's Loonytoons Migration Policy
Swede Tomas Åberg, who leads online hate speech monitoring vigilante monitoring “Näthatsgranskaren” w tax funds hich is funded by taxpayers money to carry out the task it's self - righteous supporters appointed themselves for, that of mass reporting European Swedes who write critical coments about mass immigration and its damaging effects on society on Facebook and other social media sites.
Obviously Åberg is pround of the fact that he is a complete and utter paskudniak (think of the absolute worst thing you can call somebody and multiply it by ten and you'll lnow what one of those is,) because he is currently boasting on Twitter that his reports to the police have resulted in almost 150 hate speech convictions (none of which, you may guess, is against a Muslim hate preacher calling on his followers to kill all non Muslims or saying European women are whores and deserve to be raped.)
Over the year, they fThe group also claims that over the year they have further “researched, collaborated, and lectured on, among others, the Council of Europe’s conference on criminal online hate speech”, they claim.
Last spring, Åberg was nominated for the “Swedish Hero” award by one of Sweden’s major newspapers Aftonbladet. The nomination was withdrawn however, when it was discovered that Åberg had tortured his own animals to death.
The authority MUCF, which finances left-wing extremist organisations such as Expo, has so far granted just over €150.000 in contributions to the Online Hate Speech Monitor. Most of the contribution from MUCF goes to paying the salary of Åberg, who runs the group with the help of a handful of far left lunatics was investigated a few years ago for extensive animal cruelty but escaped charges by avoiding being served the lawsuit.
The fact that the “Swedish Hero” event was sponsored by the pet insurance company Agria, probably had something to do with the decision to disqualify him. It seems he has given up on persecuting innocent animals and is now persecuting innocent Swedish people, on behalf of that country's authoritarian government, for trying to exercise theor right to free speech.
Brexiteer Plan to trigger GENERAL ELECTION to PUSH THROUGH no-deal exit
Our sources tell us Theresa May is under pressure to stop Remainer MPs from blocking a no-deal Brexit by holding a general election immediately after the UK is scheduled to leave the European Union.
The Prime Minister is widely expected to lose a crucial vote on her exit deal, wich containes the controversial Irish backstop and several other meaures MPs find unacceptable next week. Remainer MPs have tried to stop Brexit happening in the event of May losing that vote, but a high-stakes strategy which reportedly has the backing of Brexiteers could see her outmanoeuvre MPs demanding no-deal be taken off the table and Britain being forced to sty in the EU should her deal be rejected. The plan could see the Prime Minister use her powers to call a national vote for April 4 - just six days after Brexit Day on March 29. This would have the effect of dissolving Parliament for 17 working days before polling day, meaning no MPs would be sitting to oppose the Government’s no-deal contingency plans from coming into force, MailOnline reports.
Mrs May is said to be under huge pressure from Brexit supporting senior ministers to face down rebel MPs in her own party who will do anything, even to the extent of committing treason, to prevent Brexit. They have threatened to bring down the Government if it forges ahead with a no-deal Brexit by supporting a motion of no confidence from the opposition benches.
If employed, the risky general election plan would likely trigger a constitutional crisis but would ensure the Prime Minister makes good on her pledge to take Britain out of the EU on March 29. A Cabinet minister who supports the plan told MailOnline that the move would be a deliberate attempt to block Parliament’s role in Brexit, but added it would be worth it to make good on the 2016 referendum result.
They said: “The public are saying, ‘just f***ing get on with it’. Failing to make Brexit happen would destroy the last bit of faith in politics."
In the run-up to a general election, Parliament is dissolved while MPs return to their constituencies to campaign for their seats.
But the Government would remain in post and the civil service would continue to implement existing policy - including plans to leave without a deal on March 29.

Google is the enemy and must be destroyed, or freedom dies forever
Google monster" Source: Giles Nabiney via www.101touches.com/
It’s the Artificial Intelligence that manipulates people through a billion tablet computers, mobile phones, email accounts, and search engine of choice, and the mangers claim their goal is to enhance our lives by knowing us btter than we know ourselves, and nudging us with constant suggestions and warning to make better, wiser decisions than we could ever make for ourselves. "Don't be evil," the corporate motto read in the early days, although that has now been dropped because it became something of an embarrassment when people worked out it was incomplete, the full version read, "Don't be evil, that's our job."
The Google empire is anything but a force for good, As we have reported the corporation enjoys an unhealthily cosy relationship with governments and security agencies, with only the European Union, China and Russia having proved capable of standing up to it and Dave Hodges of The Common Sense Show warns if it isn't broken up soon then we can all kiss our collective future goodbye. Google plans to track every move we make through our devices, governments want to control everything we do. Naturally the two are happy to collaborate for the purpose of advancing thir agendas.
The way Google gains influence with government is through its increasingly creepy and intrusive surveillance and data gathering and analysis technologies, which are now being included in devices that are nothing to do with the internet. Soon, if Google gets its way, everyone on the planet will be monitored, tracked, and controlled by Google algorithms overseen by a technocratic elite who plan to censor all internet content and suppress all dissent throughput the liberal democracies of the developed world. Anyone who dares to challenge the establishment narrative will be identified and targeted.
Right now, more than 98 percent of mainstream media outlets the world over are controlled by just six corporations. And all of these corporations, says Hodges, are Cultural Marxists who hate the working classes, and despise everything for which, after 5000 years of civilisation, our nations have evolved to value.
Even Fox News, which presents itself as media for conservatives, is merely controlled opposition that’s funneling its viewers right into the same slaughterhouse as all of the other news outlets. Sadly, this leaves about two percent of the media, several outlets of which are now banned by Google, to tell people the truth.
“At the forefront of the propaganda that keeps America paralyzed is Google,” Hodges explains about the source of the problem. “Google has moved past Monsanto (a.k.a. Monsatan) as the most evil corporation in the world.”
Back in the summer, it was announced that Google was developing a “special” search engine for communist China that allows for only state-sanctioned “news” to show up in the results. Pretty much par for the course where the regime in China is concerned yo might think. But what mainstream media are not reporting is that Google has similar plans for the U.S.A, the European Union, Britain, Canada, Australia, Japan and anywhere else with a reasonable level of prosperity.

Organizer Of Macron’s ‘Grand Debate’ With Yellow Vests Is One Of His Elitist cronies
One wonders whether French president Emmanuel Macron has lost the plot or whether he never knew it. As the French government stumbles from faux pas to faux pas, Macron's plan for a nationwide public debate, seeking a way of ending the months of Gilets Jaunes protests without looking weak, got off to a start typical of the Marcon administration's bumbling incompetence. As arrangements were made for launching the 'public debate' campaign, which promised to give the people a voice, the spotlight immediately fell on to the extravagant salary being paid to the government official responsible for organizing it.
Chantal Jouanno, a former sports minister in the conservative government of Nicolas Sarkozy, and the current chairwoman of the CNDP, an official body for public debates, a position which probably does not involve a heavy workload but for which receives an annual salary of €176,000 ($201,000).
The generous salary for yet another elitist fat-cat bureaucrat has outraged Gilets Jaunes leaders and supporters, set against the backdrop of their street protests against punitive taxes, virtue signalling 'green' policies and rosing costs of living. They were kicked off in November 2018 by a proposed 'green' tax on fuel but the flames of anger have been fanned by the increasingly obvious disconnect between decisions taken by financially secure public officials, and the disproportionate impact they have on ordinary citizens, such as the now-cancelled petrol tax.
Jouanno insisted she was not being paid specifically being for the “unprecedented” role of organising public discussions, but for a broader role that she assumed last year, adding that she does not negotiate her salary, which is set by the “CNDP, whoever they are.”
“I think it’s important that people can express their shock with my salary, and if they want to propose a different salary for my role, they are free to do so,” she told France Info TV.
She was also defended by her colleague, Ecology Minister Francois de Rugy, the man behind Macron's loonytoons pledge that fossil fuels would be phased out by 2030. Rugy comfirmed his committment to elitism when he said that if people wanted political posts to be “filled for free, or the minimum wage, it means society no longer recognizes that there is a scale of responsibilities.” With a self-reported salary of just €114,000 ($130,400) per annum – de Rugy must consider himself to be about a third less responsible than Jouanno.
The French president’s proposal for three months of public consultations and town-hall debates starting from January 15 was a bold gambit, but fraught with risk. As part of the process, the government is sure to receive thousands of ambitious and contradictory demands, which may be at odds with its own past tax and labor reforms, and its planned pension.'

Artificial Intelligence: Nearly nine million British jobs could be lost to AI by 2030?
Workers in retail, manufacturing and business administration most at risk
Artificial Intelligence fail (source: www.ntrguadalajara.com/ >
Nearly nine million British jobs could be destoyed over the next two decades as robots and Artificial Intelligence displace human workers. People working in retail, manufacturing and business support services are most at risk, figures released by The Department Of Work and Pensions reveal. But government ministers said regions across Britain are prepared for the challenge posed by robots and are in the process of creating jobs which are at lower risk from AI. Employment Minister Alok Sharma told The Daily Mail website MailOnline: "Every industrial revolution has eventually resulted in more jobs being created than lost in the economy."
The minister added, "Whilst jobs which can be automated are currently most at risk from the impact of robots, jobs which require more cognitive and people skills are on the increase. This means that our jobs market is absorbing the impact of robots and more people are in work than ever before. And as companies look to technology to boost productivity, this can be an opportunity for a generation of workers who, armed with new skills, can enjoy the jobs of the future. That is why I am determined to make sure we are investing in retraining opportunities, allowing people to forge new careers."
Tech enthusiasts dismiss this, saying that the next generation of robots will have human like intelligence and be capable of carrying out and task a human can. If nothing else the figures lay bare the massive change to Britain's industrial landscape which looms on the horizon thanks to AI and ought to make politicians aware they need to start planning for the social consequences of this rather than pandering to the tech corporations, most of which have proved irresponsibe and ethically dysfuntional.
While governments are offering corporate businesses tax breaks and other incentives to adopt technology to boost productivity they are not thinking about the downside. "This can be an opportunity for a generation of workers who, armed with new skills, can enjoy the jobs of the future," one politician smarmed.
As usual where "science and technology" are involved, they hype is far outstripping the reality. Artificial Intelligence is a meaningless term bandied about by tech wankers for sixty years and yet we are no nearer to creating a truly intelligent computer now than we were then. As you read this page think for a moment that a computer can be loaded with all the words on this page and detained definitions for each. And then you can enter a command to make the computer parse these words. And at the end of the task the computer will have no more idea what the page is about than a similar machine that has been wiped clean of all its data, siftware and firmware.

2) domestic output,
3) share of world trade,
4) financial-center size and power,
5) military strength, and
6) reserve-currency status.
...and they show when different countries reached their peaks relative to the rest of the world." And to support his position he has put together an impressive set of statistics showing how global and regional powers from Portugal in the west and China in the east, in the late medieval era, rose to economic dominance in the west, and how as Portugal declined to be replaced by Spain, then France, then The British Empire and finally the USA all rose to dominate while they had a stable culture and strong values, and all declined when political factors undermined that cultural stability and government started to medle in private affairs. China on the other hand, dominated in the east from around 1200 to 1900 CE only being challenged by the British and the Japanese in India from the mid nineteenth century. China's social system had stagnated through isolation, while Jaoan's had been revitalised by contact forst with Portuguese and Dutch traders and then US government and business interests. After the communists took over China's still stagnant society the nation became even more isolated until the idealist Mao Tse Tung was replaced by equally totalitarian but more pragmatic leaders who opened up the country economically and allowed individualism and enterprise to flourish. The reformed communist party opened up the economy but maintained the cultural stability based on family, community and tradition. And judging by Dalio's take on American culture, it is clear where he thinks this is going..."Most fundamentally, the US is a country in which individuals, individualism, and individual property rights are perceived to be of paramount importance it is directed from the bottom up (e.g., through “one man, one vote” democracies that empower people to choose their leaders), being revolutionary is considered a good thing, and conflict is valued more than harmony.
Rather than respecting top down control most American have a strong preference to keep government from interfering with their most individual choices. Character development is a personal or family issue, not a government issue (which leaves it largely neglected in areas with broken families, especially if they’re poor).
Rather than there being a long-term top down vision for the country and a plan to achieve that vision, in the capitalist and democratic system such directions are more bottom up determined based on commercial and popularity considerations."
Thus Dalio comes to the conclusion that as the USA continues to fragment socially it's economic decline will also continue, while the Chinese, bound by their strong and stable culture, will continue to forge ahead, with the inevitable result that the US$ will lose its reserve currency status, something which is already happening as we have reported HERE. Of course, the world's largest hedge fund manager avoids directly slamming America's 'dream' or supporting China's central planners: "I’m not saying which system is better. Each culture/system has its pros and cons that I’m not going to get into now. I believe that the important thing to know are that while there will be trade wars and trade truces they aren’t the most important things. " So, in summary, "it's not the economy, it's the culture stupid!"Naked Bankers Go For Gold
... That gold sale in 2013 was a naked short. The seller had no gold to sell. COMEX reported having gold only equal to about half of the short sale in its vaults, and not all of that was available for delivery (quite a lot of it belonged to the german government) In effect the naked shorting of gold could only work because really the right hand was selling to the left hand.

After Triggering Mass Migration Crisis, Germany Bribing Foreigners To Leave
Angela Merkel is seen by many Germans as more committed to advancing Islam in Europe than respresenting the wished of German voters. (picture source: www.tapwires.com )
Though Hausfrau - Volksfuhrer Merkel only clings to power by her fingernails as the fragile coalition she leads staggers from crisis to crisis, the damaging effects of her 'open doors' immigration policy, which triggered the European Union's mass migration crisis continue to damage Germany. It may be amusing for supporters of national sovereignty to observe her antics as, with one face the pledges support for a United Nations initiative to open all national borders top anybody wishing to cross, while with the other she tries to persuade German voters she has listened to public opinion and understands her mass immigration policy is abhorred by a majority of voters, but it is harming Germany.
The migrant crisis and its effect in destroying the Globalist and Eurocrat dream of merging the EU's member states into a single federal superstate, a policy of which Merkel has been one a leading supporter, is probably the main, no not the only, thing behind the resurgence of nationalism, and is also credited with revealing to voters just how far out of touch with ordinary people political leaders, media commentators and showbiz luvvies are.
In one of it's most bizarrre misreadings of the public mood yet, the German government has now mounted an aggressive campaign to encourage illegal migrants to leave germany by bribing them with free rent for a year in their home countries if they return.
"Your country. Your future. Now!” read billboards in seven languages, plastered in nearly 2,500 locations across 80 German cities, reports the National Post.
A series of flags corresponding with the top-destinations – Egypt, Turkey, Afghanistan, Eritrea and Russia – shapes a zigzagging road to a fictional horizon.
The “ReturningfromGermany” ad campaign is the latest tactic by the German government to boost departures and deter migration, in a reversal of Angela Merkel’s controversial welcoming policy of 2015 at the height of the Syrian refugee crisis. The campaign is the brainchild of interior minister Horst Seehofer, Merkel’s rebellious right-wing rival, who forced a coalition crisis over Germany’s asylum policy last summer. -National PostNew arrivals of undocumented, unskilled and in many cases illiterate people have arrived trying to claim asylum seeker or refugee status, (they are neither, being purely economic migrants,) have normalized since a flood of 700,000 migrants three years ago, a backlog of rejected claims has built up due to the lengthy legal process involved in deporting these people. The billboard campaign is aimed at the estimated 235,000 people who are still required to leave the country according to the interior ministry.
Most asylum seekers whose claims have been rejected can't return to their country of origin due for several reason; danger, lack of documentation or they suffer from an illness. The German government has dubbed these people "duldung," which means "tolerated."
Denied asylum seekers who don't fit either of those categories typically don't show up for their deportation. Of more than 20,000 scheduled airport repatriations in 2018, just half of them appeared to take flights back home.
Horst Seehofer, the German interior minister, aims to encourage migrants to leave with the cash-giveaway billboard campaign - offering 1,000 - 1,200 euros for a single person and 3,000 for families to provide for basic needs.
Not everyone is a fan of the new "stepping stone system," in which "you get more money if you choose to leave earlier on," according to Meiki Riebau - a lawyer and migration expert at Save the Children Germany. Riebau's organisation is still supporting Merkel's discredited "All migrsnts, refugees and asylum seekers welcome" approach to immigration control. This is going down like the proverbial lead Zeppelin with the families of women, girls and some boys who have been victims of violent sexual assaults by sexually incontinent Muslim males.
Perhaps Germany's cash incentive will turn out to be more successful than Britain's approach when Prime Minister Theresa May had vans drive through neighborhoods with billboards reading "Go home or face arrest." Her initiative resulted in just 11 voluntary departures.Obviously life in a British prison is preferable to life in a third world shithole country. British voters understandably take the view that these people are not our problem.
