The Hollies with "The Air that I breathe". From the 1974 album Hollies.
Ballad written by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood. The Hollies formed in Manchester in 1962 around Allan Clarke and Graham Nash as a Merseybeat group. 54 years later they are still there, and never even broke up to restart again.
Metallica with Nothing Else Matters. From the 1991 album Metallica (aka "the Black Album").
Band formed in LA in 1981. Its constant members are James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. I am of the MTV Generation. Watched these guys, among many others, in countless weekends in the late eighties and early nineties.
FRANCKEN WANTS TO EDUCATE ASYLUM SEEKERS: "A WOMAN IS TREATED WITH RESPECT HERE."
In the article there's first some talk about the rampant fights between Iraqis and Afghans in the asylum centers, a thing he "wants to end once and for all". He's looking into more severe measures, because "the heaviest sanction now, 30 days exclusion from the asylum centre, doesn't seem to impress anyone."
No shit, Sherlock. Have you already tried to cut off their wifi?
But then comes the thing:
The State Secretary also mentioned the courses he's planning for all asylum seekers that will teach them how to engage women. "Some asylum centers are already organizing this on the stump, but the government wants to expand the pattern over the coming weeks", daily De Standaard writes. "The main goal is that asylum seekers are taught to show respect for women. It's about the fact that it is normal that men and women are absolutely equal, that women can go to work, that they have the right to vote, in other words that a woman is somebody who should be treated with respect and who is not a slut or whore. We had these debates 50, 60 years ago and we are not going to have them again, we won't give in a millimeter".
Ladies and gentlemen, to call this drivel insane gobbledegook is bestowing it with too much honor.
In a normal country, COMPLETE NONSENSE coming from the mouth of a minister no less, should be enough ground to sack him.
But not so in Belgium.
So then our moral and intellectual betters usher in tens of thousands of barely literate "refugees" from islamic hellholes where despising, humiliating and abusing women has been part and parcel of the cultural DNA for 1,400 years...
Then they are dumbfounded when things like in Koeln and Weil-am-Rhein and Finland and Salzburg occur...
... but DON'T YOU WORRY, because Asylum and Migration bigwog Theo Francken is going to process these savages thru a 30-day course of sex ed and all them Mohammeds and Ibrahims and Alis will magically emerge from it like your average day cream using sensitive euroweenie metrosexuals.
Good luck with that.
I have stated on many occasions before that I am reporting from the world's biggest Open Air Lunatic Asylum. Perhaps I should be a bit more crass yet.
Even our lamestream media couldn't look past the appalling events in at least five German cities on New Year's Eve, so bad was it. In Germany, the country's most-influential political blog, PI-News, run by Stefan Herre, was on top of things.
And it seems Merkel's goons are not pleased with that.
Just tonight I was reading Steyn's latest take on German authorities cracking down on what they call "a rash of incendiary speech"...
"The German state is apparently incapable of springing to action over organized mass sexual assault in at least five cities on a rape-out-the-old New Year's Eve (oh, and Finland, too), but you've gotta be able to prioritize, right? Post reporter Anthony Faiola's snide opening is a classic of the genre:
BERLIN — Donald Trump may be testing the boundaries of tolerance on the U.S. campaign trail. But here in Germany, the government is effectively enforcing civility, taking aim at a surge of hate speech against refugees and Muslims.
There's actually nothing very "civil" about "enforcing civility". Indeed, if civility (which derives from "civis" - citizen) has to be enforced, it is by definition no longer civility at all. Nevertheless:
As Western Europe's most populous nation grapples with a historic wave of mostly-Muslim migrants, politicians and activists are decrying a rash of incendiary speech bubbling to the surface of German society. In a country whose Nazi past led to some of the strictest laws in the West protecting minorities from people inciting hatred, prosecutors are launching investigations into inflammatory comments as judges dole out fines, even probation time, to the worst offenders.
German authorities, meanwhile, have reached a deal with Facebook, Google and Twitter to get tougher on offensive content, with the outlets agreeing to apply domestic laws, rather than their own corporate policies, to reviews of posts.
I said yesterday that "without free speech, there are only the official lies". The first week of the New Year in Germany has provided a grim example of that: In one of the most famous public places in Germany a mass sexual assault took place ...and every organ of the state colluded in covering it up. The initial press release from the Cologne police read:
"A mood of exuberance - largely peaceful celebrations." That's what they told the citizenry. What they told each other was quite different:
The outbreak of violence was also far more serious than previously thought, and at one point senior police officers feared "there could have been fatalities".
Two publications have released what they claim is an internal report by a senior officer who was at the scene.
Which is full of stuff they didn't have room for in their night-of-exuberant-celebrations press release:
"We came to the conclusion that the situation threatened chaos or serious injury, if it didn't lead to fatalities."
Police decided to clear the area but met with resistance and were "repeatedly bombarded with fireworks and pelted with bottles..."
"Many women came to officers shocked and crying and reported sex assaults. Police forces were unable to respond to all the events, assaults and offences. There were just too many at the same time."
Because all the other coppers were back at the police station investigating mean-spirited Tweets?
Fortunately, none of this unpleasantness made the news:
Following a barrage of complaints on social media that the New Year's Eve events were deliberately under-reported amid fears they would encourage anti-immigrant sentiment, Germany's public broadcaster, ZDF, was forced to apologise for its decision not to report on the attacks until Tuesday, four days after they had occurred.
"The news situation was clear enough," the show's deputy chief editor, Elmar Thevessen, wrote on the Heute (Today) programme's Facebook page. "It was a mistake of the 7pm Heute show not to at least report the incidents."
But, if you have to report it a week later, blame the victims. Cologne Mayor and "refugee activist" Henriette Reker told the hundred-plus sexually assaulted women of her city that the easiest way to solve the problem is to keep men at "arm's length". This may work for Mayor Reker traveling around her fiefdom with a car and security detail, but, alas, out on the streets, men often have longer arms than women, and, when there are more than one of them, you can easily wind up out-armed: "Ich hatte Finger an allen Körperöffnungen," as one young lady put it. "I had fingers on every orifice."
And so the Arab Spring has come to Europe - or at least the Tahrir Square part of it.
But don't even think of saying things like that because that makes you just as bad as the gang-rapists. Just ask Ralf Jaeger, the Interior Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia:
Mr Jaeger also warned that anti-immigrant groups were trying to use the attacks to stir up hatred against refugees.
"What happens on the right-wing platforms and in chatrooms is at least as awful as the acts of those assaulting the women," he said. "This is poisoning the climate of our society."
So, in the multiculti utopia, chatrooms are "at least as awful" as gang rape. Maybe his cabinet colleagues might usefully stick some fingers in Herr Jaeger's orifices, starting with his mouth..."
... I found I could not access it. That was around 1am on Saturday morning, January 9, and still so half an hour later, it wouldn't open.
I suspected a strong DDoS-attack, but luckily, at 1:32am, I found it was back online:
It turned out to be what I feared. Translation:
"After a strong DDoS-attack on our server we are currently, after two hours, back online. It's possible that PI in the following hours will remain somewhat "shaky", but we are optimistic that the heaviest attacks are behind us. We apologize to our readers for the missed On-Time and continue right away further on with new posts. Your PI-Team."
Barely a couple of days after the terrible events in front of Cologne's Hauptbahnhof, Mayor Henriette Reeker found it necessary to point out the perpetrators had nothing to do with the refugees.
In the absence of electable candidates in the Republican camp however, and because he calls a spade a spade, he deserves the Republican nomination.
For a long time Rick Perry was my man. For reasons unfathomable to me, he did not tick with the American public.
Then I started growing very fond of Dr. Carson. But he is way too nice and he started saying funny things. Plus, because of the current occupant of the White House's catastrophic tenure has ironically made it very difficult for people of color to again give it a try for POTUS, Dr. Carson has also become as good as unelectable.
Cruz remains as the sole Real Conservative. But as of today, he's still unknown to far too many Americans and were he the nominee, Clinton would almost certainly be victorious.
Because this Monster would completely ruin what is left of the United States after 8 disastrous years of a cryptomarxist at the helm, it is absolutely necessary - it is absolutely vital - that the GOP comes up with a candidate who can WIN.
Only Trump remains.
That is why I endorse Donald Trump for President. And while I'm at it, Ted Cruz for veep.
The rest of the GOP candidates should call it quits. Playing time is over.
"Today at 2pm a press conference took place in Police HQ Koeln, Germany, to address the extraordinary evens on New Year's Eve around the Koelner Main Station. Even Koeln's usually over-the-top politically correct Police president Wolfgang Albers (2nd from the left) appeared shaken and spoke of "an unbearable situation" in Koeln. The reason? Criminal behaviour of "a hitherto completely unknown situation" by a group of around 1,000 men, "of apparently Arabic or North African extraction".
"At noon (on the 4th of January), Koeln Police had already received complaints from 60 women, but it is thought that the real number is far higher. These are tales about theft, violence, sexual harassment and rape."
Our top notch chronicler of Europe's announced death, Mark Steyn, nails it as per usual:
"...In this Christmas season, what we used to call Christendom is sad and diminished, led by a fatuous social-justice pope and a European political class that has doubled down on civilizational suicide. Here is a small but telling story of the new France:
NICE, France – Valérie Aubry-Dumont got the news in a WhatsApp message from deep inside Islamic State territory. "Mom, you're going to be a grandmother," wrote her teenage daughter, Cléa.
When Aubry-Dumont last saw her daughter, Cléa was a 16-year-old girl attending Catholic school in a Paris suburb. After a breakup, Cléa met a young man online and within months the couple fled France to live in a stretch of northern Syria ruled by Islamic State.
Islam has a three-pronged strategy for its conquest of Europe: immigration, fertility, and conversion. I have been writing about the last for years. From seven years ago:
Let's say you work in an office in those cities: One day they install a Muslim prayer room, and a few folks head off at the designated time, while the rest of you get on with what passes for work in the EU. A couple of years go by, and it's now a few more folks scooting off to the prayer room. Then it's a majority. And the ones who don't are beginning to feel a bit awkward about being left behind.
What do you do? The future showed up a lot sooner than you thought... If you're the average post-Christian Eurosecularist, what's the big deal? Who wants to be the last guy sitting in the office sharpening his pencil during morning prayers?
Funny how quickly it all happened. There was the woman on reception, but she retired. And the guy in personnel who used to say, sotto voce, that Geert Wilders had a point. But he emigrated the year after Wilders did.
Four years later, just to underline the point, Arnoud van Doorn, the producer of Wilders's "Islamophobic" film Fitna, converted to Islam.
Yet I failed to discern perhaps the most poignant trend in this abandonment of their inheritance by native Europeans:
For some French families, the Paris attacks, while deepening the wedge between militants and the West, were a painful reminder of their ties to the enemy.
The French wife of Foued Mohamed-Aggad—who along with two others killed 90 people in Paris's Bataclan concert hall on Nov. 13—is living in Islamic State territory and ready to give birth "any day now," said Françoise Cotta, a lawyer Mohamed-Aggad's mother approached in an attempt to bring the child back to France.
"An alarming number of young men and women are leaving France to start a family in Syria," said Alain Ruffion, director at Unimed, a group that works to prevent the radicalization of residents around the southern French city of Nice.
Read that sentence and marvel. The Continent is in its unprecedented demographic death spiral because insufficient "young men and women" wish to start a family in Europe. But significant numbers of demoiselles like Cléa Aubry-Dumont are eager to find a nice fierce bearded young man and go off with him to "start a family in Syria". You'd almost get the impression Europe is literally barren soil.
As for this side of the Atlantic, it's not just that Trump wasn't hurt by his call for an end to Muslim immigration, but that (once you detach his name from the proposal) even 45 per cent of Democrats support the idea. In Europe, given the prosecutions of Geert Wilders and Marine LePen, it's not clear you're even allowed to pose the question. And, until it's asked and answered, there will be more and more middle-aged ladies like Valérie Aubry-Dumont who lose their daughters to Allah. Because something always beats nothing, and all Hollande and Merkel and the Eutopian political class are offering their subjects is one big cobwebbed nothing...."
Mr Steyn might have added Europe's insane MSM. In Belgium, chief among these is the self-proclaimed "quality newspaper" De Standaard.
Yesterday we posted here the video and transcript of Czech President Milos Zeman's Christmas message to the Czech people.
Today, De Standaard found it necessary not to address the very substantial threats to Europe's future President Zeman warns about, but...
The title reads: "The Czech Republic's Orban", because the Gutmenschen at DS have no love lost for that other True European Patriot either.
"Just like the past year, Milos Zeman wasn't interested in delivering a reconciling Christmas message. The Czech President, who has been attacking for years anything islamic, called the refugees fleeing to Europe "an organized invasion" - from under his embellished Christmas Tree."
Last week, it became known that in Somalia, Tajikistand and Brunei Christmas celebrations have been banned, and I wouldn't be surprised if Turkey follows suit next year.
But all of that does not matter to the suicidal lunatics who make up De Standaard's staff. What matters is that Milos Zeman is made to look like a hatemongering fool.
Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, commonly referred to as Camille Corot, was an extremely prolific French landscape and portrait artist (and printmaker in etching and early photographer), who essentially fulfilled a bridge function between Neo-Classicism/Realism, and Impressionism, with a transit over Romanticism.
An immense materpiece of a youthful Corot: Le pont de Narni (1926). Actually my personal favorite.
Breathtaking how he captures the reflection of the sunlight on the water!
La femme à la Perle (1869), arguably his best known work:
Imho, a work that can easily compete with La Gioconda.
Souvenir de Mortefontaine (1864).
You can admire it in the Louvre, which has had it since 1889.
Eat this, "Frau" Merkel: Czech President Milos Zeman in his Christmas message for Czech TV makes it crystal clear that he judges the immigration crisis an organized invasion from muslim countries.
A quick transcript:
"And so there is, in the [EU's] foreign policy, a black stain of shame, and that's the immigration crisis.
Politicians who close their eyes for the fact that the migration wave hasn't already rolled over us, and are telling us not to worry, remind me of a former mayor of Prague. At the time of the floods this mayor stood on the bridge and told everybody that the situation is under control. Two hours later the Prague Underground was under water. Sometimes I feel like Cassandra [in Greek mythology King Priam's daughter, who was given by Apollo the gift of foretelling the future but simultaneously cursed to never finding anyone to believe her], who warned Troy of imminent invaders, but I am absolutely convinced that that what is coming is an organized invasion and not a spontaneous influx of refugees.
Those who are in favor of immigration talk of empathy, of solidarity. Empathy is required towards the old, the sick and especially the children. The great majority however of the illegal immigrants are young, healthy men without families.
And I ask myself why these men don't take weapons in their hands and fight for their own countries' freedom and against IS?
The migration crisis is obviously making IS stronger, and I cannot imagine that in the days of the Boehmen und Maehren Protektorat [how the Nazis called occupied Czechoslovakia] our country's young men would have fled to Great Britain to ask for welfare checks.
They fled to take up arms for the freedom of their country [enough Czechs managed to escape to Great Britain to form a brigade, and there were sufficient airmen to form two fighter squadrons, 310 and 312, and one bomber squadron, 311].
The same goes for those fleeing countries where there is no war, which at the same time is weakening these countries.
When on 17 November a pro-immigration demonstration was organized, I was informed by our intelligence services that the signs in the demonstration would contain the message: "This is not our country. Refugees welcome". Then someone told the organizers that a message like that was grotesquely stupid, and so it was changed into the slightly less idiotic "This country is for everybody. Refugees welcome."
At the end of my Christmas message I want to assure you of two very obvious things:
'THIS LAND IS OUR LAND.
AND THIS LAND IS NOT, AND CANNOT BE, FOR EVERYBODY.'
Dear friends, a happy and joyful New Year."
Hat tip our German Waffenbruder, Stefan Herre at PI News.
"Perhaps there is no European country where rape has reached epidemic proportions as it has in Sweden, a country now known as the “rape capital” of Europe. Sweden ranks Number 2 on the global list of rape countries. From 1975 to present, rape in Sweden has increased 1472%. Based on this model, it is now projected that one in four Swedish women (and sometimes little girls) will be raped. Rape of men and boys is also on the rise.
Making this nightmarish situation worse, the authorities hide what’s going on, make outlandish excuses for it, and/or side with the rapists. Dhimmitude has taken hold. Few, if any, will state the truth: that the majority of rapes in Sweden are committed by Muslim males.
Of note, a large number of Muslim rapists are under the age of 18 and, if brought to “justice,” receive exceedingly light sentences (even lighter than the absurd non-punishment adults receive) because they are considered juveniles. And so they are released back onto the streets in a flash. To commit more rape. Related to this issue is the fact that many Muslim men in Sweden are classified as “unaccompanied children” when they arrive.
The sickness that has taken over Swedish culture is so shocking that in one case where a Somali Muslim was found guilty of raping a dying woman to death (which is horrific enough), the judicial system refused to send him back to Somalia because they determined he would be just as much a risk to women in Somalia as he would be to women in Sweden. And so Swedish women were disregarded out of deference to Somali women..."
"Between January 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014, 58 people were shot in Gothenburg. Fifty-seven were men; their median age was 26. Most injuries were in their arms and legs. Ten of the patients died. The total care time for the 47 admitted patients who survived was 316 days, putting the net health care cost at 6.2 million kronor ($730,000).
Since the study was concluded, criminal gangs have continued shooting at each other in Gothenburg (map). There were twelve shootings during the first five months of this year. Five young men died, and 16 people were wounded.
On July 14, a 22-year-old Somali man was prosecuted for a brutal rape in Uppsala earlier this summer. The man found his victim, a woman in her twenties, on the street at 5 a.m. He wrestled her to the ground, sat on her, held her arms down and said: "Do you want to live or die?" He repeated the question several times during the rape. Afterward, he fled the scene, but thanks to the victim's description was apprehended a few hours later. At the time of his arrest, he had her cell phone on him. The 22-year-old has previous convictions for making unlawful threats, assault, battery and sexual molestation. However, that did not stop him from writing on Facebook that he thinks people who damage society should be deported from Sweden.
On July 15, a 30-year-old Kurdish man from Iraq was prosecuted for the attempted murder of a 40-year-old woman in Stockholm. The man wanted residency status; to that end, he tried to force the woman to marry him. When she refused, he stabbed her eight times in the face and chest. The knife attack took place on a walkway in a residential area. The woman sustained life-threatening injuries.
On July 16, two Kurdish men, aged 21 and 30, were convicted of being involved in an explosion in Nyköping on March 2. Two people were killed. Police believe the men packing a half-kilogram (1.1 pounds) of explosive material into a metal box when it suddenly went off. It is not known what the bomb was to be used for, but the district court concluded that the device "had no other meaningful use other than to cause people harm." An explosives expert who testified during the trial said he had never before seen such a device, and that the very powerful bomb could have killed or injured people up to 600 meters (650 yards) away.
One of the two convicted men is not a Swedish citizen; and despite this being his eighth conviction for a violent crime in Sweden, he will not be deported to his native Iran. He was sentenced to two years in prison, and his partner in crime to one year and ten months.
On July 17, the Swedish Security Service (Säpo) revealed to date, between 30 and 40 women have traveled from Sweden to Syria to join the Islamic State (ISIS). In an e-mail to the Dagens Eko public radio news program, Säpo wrote that this is a "serious and disturbing turn of events," adding that, "there are no verified reports that these women are actively taking part in combat or training for combat."
Peder Hyllengren of the National Defense College told Dagens Eko that ISIS has a rather large group of sympathizing women in Sweden. "There are at least ten times as many who sympathize, compared to how many have gone," says Hyllengren. "It's about building the caliphate, becoming wives and birthing a new generation of jihadis. They become housewives, but many are very active in spreading the propaganda."
On July 18, the local daily Östra Småland wrote that a group of Christian asylum seekers in the city of Kalmar, after being harassed and threatened by Muslims, had been forced to move from the Immigration Service housing where they were staying. The Muslims demanded that they stop wearing crosses and other Christian symbols, and did not allow them to use joint facilities, such as the kitchen, when Muslims were in there..."
For this year's nativity scene I chose a 2002 painting by Simon Dewey, "For God So Loved the World".
I thought a performance of "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht" by the Wiener Saengerknaben might be in order. I actually wonder why I never thought of that before.
Silent night, holy night,
all is calm, all is bright
round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant, so tender and mild,
sleep in heavenly peace,
sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night,
shepherds quake at the sight;
glories stream from heaven afar,
heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born!
Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light;
radiant beams from thy holy face
with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
Silent night, holy night,
wondrous star, lend thy light;
with the angels let us sing,
Alleluia to our King;
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born!
In all likelihood the most popular Christmas carol, it was composed in 1818 by a Franz Xaver Gruber, a schoolmaster and organist in Arnsdorf in what was then the Austrian Empire. The lyrics however had been written already two years before by Father Joseph Mohr, a young priest in the village of Oberndorf, and it was in his parish church, dedicated to Saint Nicholas, that the first performance took place, on Christmas Eve 1818.
Liebe Leser und Leserinnen, anbei die Text der Rede Filip Dewinters waehrend der PEGIDA-Demonstration in Dresden am 7. Dezember:
"Heute steht hier das wehrfähige Dresden. Das wehrfähige Dresden und das wehrfähige Europa. Dank dafür das ich hier, diesem Abend, Teil sein darf der Patriotischen Europäer gegen Islamisierung des Abendlandes.
Denn ja, wenn die Politiker nicht hören wollen, dann soll das Volk sprechen und handeln. Unserer Widerstandsbewegung ist die letzte Hoffnung für ein deutsches Deutschland und für ein europäisches Europa.
Liebe Freunde,
Nach den Anschlägen in Paris, Brüssel, Madrid, London und New York ist es klar : Europa befindet sich in einem Krieg mit dem Islam. Leider haben wir, durch die Masseneinwanderung denn Feind herein geholt. Die Masseneinwanderung ist das Trojanischer Pferd der Islamischen Terrorismus.
Ich wohne in Belgien und arbeite in Brüssel, der Jihad Hauptstadt Europas. Islamischen Terrorismus ist Heut zu Tage, Belgiens Hauptexportprodukt. Nicht Raqqa sondern Brüssel ist der Hauptstadt der IS.
Drei von fünf IS-Terroristen die die Attacken von Paris begangen haben sind in Europa als Flüchtlinge eingetroffen. Die Masse der Flüchtlinge ist eine Armee ohne Uniform oder Waffen. Sie bildet die fünfte Kolonne der Islam. Sie sind gekommen um zu dominieren und zu kolonisieren.
Schließung der Grenzen ist die einzige Antwort auf die IS-terrorismus. Schließung der Grenzen, wie es Ungarn (Oengaarn) tut, ist kein Akt von Fremdenfeindlichkeit oder Rassismus, im Gegenteil… Schließung der Grenze heißt nicht man hasst die Menschen außerhalb die Grenzen, sondern man liebt die Menschen innerhalb der Grenzen. Viellicht sollten wir mal erwägen für jeden unschuldigen Bürger der in Europa durch einem Terroristischen „Flüchtling“ ermordet wird, einem Politiker der gerne eifert für „offenen Grenzen“ nach einem Gebiet unter IS Kontrolle zu deportieren?
Liebe Freunde,
Der Islam ist eine Eroberungsreligion, der die Demokratie zu vernichten und durch eine auf dem Scharia basierte, islamische Diktatur zu ersetzen beabsichtigt. Es unterliegt keinem Zweifel, dass der Islam entschlossen ist, ganz Europa zu erbeuten. Der Islam ist wie ein Raubtier, immer bereit das schwächste Opfer an zu greifen. Die europäische Bevölkerung altert und stirbt aus, dabei wird sie dauernd geblendet von den multikulti- „Weg-mit-uns“-Denken.
Wie Aids einwirkt auf die physische Widerstandsfähigkeit eines Menschen, so untergräbt der Multikultur die Identität und demographische Wehrhaftigkeit eines Volkes und einer Zivilisation.
Nicht nur begeht Europa im demographischen Bereich Selbstmord, gleichfalls trauen wir uns auch nicht länger, für die Normen und Wertvorstellungen unseres Abendlandes einzutreten. Die Europäische Kultur endet da wo die Multikultur anfangt!
Der radikale Islam hat uns in der Tat den Kampf angesagt. Nicht jetzt oder gestern, sondern etwa vor 1400 Jahren. Die Terroranschläge am 9. September in New York und Washington, in Madrid und in London und Paris stellen nur einen bedauernswerten, aktuellen Höhepunkt dar, in einem Krieg, der inzwischen fast vierzehn Jahrhunderte andauert.
Der Islam bekriegt Europa und den freien Westen schon seit vierzehn Jahrhunderten! Der Koran ist eine „License to kill“, – eine Lizenz um zu töten – in der ohne weiteres aufgerufen wird zur Bekämpfung der sogenannten „Kafirs“, die Nicht-Muslime.
Die Ursache allen Elends, die Quelle allen Übels ist das Buch: der Koran. Der Koran, heißt es, ist das wörtliche Wort Allahs, von Mohamed geschrieben. Der Koran liest wie ein Militärhandbuch zur Vernichtung der Kafirs, (die Unglaublichen, nicht-Muslime) Es geht nicht nur um Jihadisten und Salafisten, der Koran selbst ist das Problem, denn wer Koran sät, wird Jihad ernten.
Lassen Sie sich nichts einreden. Der gemäßigte Islam existiert nicht. Der Islam strebt die absolute Weltherrschaft an. Es ist eine imperialistische Religion, die ihr unlauteres Ziel mit Hilfe von Gewalt verfolgt. Die erste muslimische Invasion Europas wurde im Jahre 732 bei Poitiers ein Ende bereitet. Der zweite Einfall der Mohammedaner wurde 1683 vor den Wiener Toren gestoppt. Nun kommt es darauf an, auch die dritte islamische Invasion, die momentan voll im Gange ist, zum Stillstand zu bringen und sogar zurückzudrängen zu dem Ort, an dem der Islam hingehört, nämlich der anderen Seite des Mittelmeere.
Die multikulturelle Gesellschaft in Europa führt zu kulturellen Apartheid, zu kulturellen Gettos, wo Gettofundamentalisten und örtliche Ayatollahs das Regiment führen. In diesen Gettos werden die europäischen Normen und Werte von den Bewohnern nicht annerkannt und dulden die Behörden ein Grossteil der da verübten Gesetzwidrigkeiten. Frauen die verweigern das Kopftuch zu tragen werden beschimpft und sogar angegriffen. Alles was dem Islam widerspricht, wird unter Druck gesetzt. Almählich wird in diesen Bezirken der Scharia eingeführt. Straftate werden durch die Finger gesehen, damit Krawalle vermieden werden. Multikulturell bedeutet häufig multikriminell.
Liebe Freunde,
Wenn Sie mich fragen, ob ich ein Ausländerhasser bin, dann antworte ich ganz aufrichtig: „nein“. Ich habe nichts gegen Leute Fremder Herkunft, solange sie sich anpassen, anständig verhalten und unseren Normen und Werten fügen. Wenn Sie mich fragen, ob ich ein Xenophobe bin, dann lautet die Antwort eben: „ja“. In dem Sinne das eine „Phobie“ einer Tiefen Angst dar stellt. Und ja, ich fürchte mich vor dem Islam. Das größte Irrtum, das wir Europäer begehen können, ist es, den Islam, um der politischen Korrektheit willen, für eine friedvolle und tolerante Religion zu halten. Der Glauben der Muslime ist auch tatsächlich friedlich, insoweit nur die eigenen Anhänger betroffen sind, die sich nach dem Willen Allahs, der im Koran ausführlich dargelegt wird, zu richten haben. Gegenüber den Dhimmis, den Ungläubigen, verhält der Islam sich als eine gewaltsame und nachtragende Religion. Die Islamophobie betrifft nicht nur ein unkontrollierbares Angstphänomen, sondern auch die Pflicht und die Aufgabe für jeden, der die Zukunft Europas sicherstellen möchte. Europa, das heißt das alte Rom und Griechenland, die Aufklärung und die jüdisch-christlichen Wurzeln. Europa ist ein Weltteil der Schlösser und Kathedralen, nicht der Moscheen und Minaretten.
Heute stehen wer zusammen in einer weder gefundenen Widerstands Bund. Deutschen, Flamen, Europäer, die sich ruck-ruchen zugekehrt in Einigkeit und Freiheit wiederseitig gegen den islam verteidigen wollen.
Danke für Eure Einladung und dreimal Hoch!"
Und hier gibt's es die Rede von Anke Van dermeersch, die wichtigste Vlaams Belang Politikerin (Sie ist Senatorin fuer Vlaams Belang ins Belgische Parlament).
"Meine Damen und Herren, Filip Dewinter hat Recht, denn Frauen sind fürwahr das erste Opfer der wachsenden Islamisierung. Deshalb möchte ich heute Abend vor allem für die Frauen sprechen.
Als Politikerin und Senatorin ist es mein Auftrag, ja, meine Pflicht, vor der Frauenfeindlichkeit des Islams zu warnen.
Allah liebt keine Frauen! Der Islam propagiert Hass.
Hass gegen Ungläubige, aber auch Hass gegen Frauen, die als minderwertig betrachtet werden.
Das öffentlich sichtbare Markenzeichen dieser Minderwertigkeit ist das Kopftuch, das Symbol der Unterdrückung.
Burka und Kopftuch sind de facto identisch, der Unterschied liegt nur im Zentimetermaß der Textilien. Das Kopftuch ist für Frauen wie die Rassel für die Leprakranken und der Stern für die Juden.
Deswegen habe ich im Jahre 2004 als erste Abgeordnete in Europa im belgischen Senat ein allgemeines Burkaverbot beantragt. (viel Applaus) Ich war damit die Vorreiterin dieses Verbots und ich bin stolz darauf, dass dieses Verbot mittlerweile in Belgien, Frankreich und vielen anderen europäischen Ländern eingeführt wurde. (Applaus)
Die Burka, der Koran und die Scharia sind der absolute Widerspruch zu unserem gesellschaftlichen Prinzip der Gleichheit von Frau und Mann und der von Frauen so mühsam erkämpften Emanzipation. Und das akzeptiere ich nicht! (Applaus)
Meine Damen und Herren, Sklavinnen – das ist die einzig reservierte Rolle für die Frauen in der islamischen Welt.
Der Islam zwingt Frauen zu wählen – entweder Hure oder Sklavin zu sein. Aber ich will weder das eine noch das andere sein.
Als Frau möchte ich mit Respekt behandelt werden, nicht wie ein Utensil. (Applaus) Als Frau möchte ich aus Liebe heiraten und nicht zu einer Zwangsheirat verpflichtet werden. Als Frau möchte ich die Tatsache, dass ich Frau bin genießen und nicht genital verstümmelt werden. Als Frau möchte ich meine Kinder lieben, beschützen und ausbilden und nicht ein Produktionsherd sein für Dschihadisten.
Frauen schaffen neues Leben.
Wir geben Europa die Zukunft!
Wir kämpfen für unsere Kinder!
Deshalb kämpfen wir gegen Multikultur, gegen die derzeitige europäische Asylpolitik, gegen Masseneinwanderung und vor allem gegen die Islamisierung unseres Abendlandes. (Viel Applaus)
An absolute must read by Brian Joondeph over at American Thinker: RIP Republican Party.
"If there was any question about the relevance of the Republican Party, this week’s budget deal removes all doubt. The Republican Party might as well close up shop and merge with the Democrats. Not as a merger of equals, but more of a capitulation, a surrender, a sellout. There is no need for two parties in Washington DC as only one party is relevant in terms of advancing an agenda. The irony is that the agenda driving party is in the minority and despite losing badly in two midterm elections, the Democrats are still running Congress.
Another 2000-plus page bill passed by Congress with little transparency or discussion. You mean ObamaCare? No Paul Ryan’s $1.1 trillion spending bill, his first major legislative “achievement” as House Speaker.
The deal suspends the debt limit until 2017, well after the presidential election, effectively taking unsustainable debt off the table as a campaign issue. Obama doubled the national debt? So what? Republicans are helping him. Don’t worry though, the spending cuts will take place in 2025, when most of the current Congress voting for this spending spree will either be retired or working as K Street lobbyists.
Remember the 2010 GOP “Pledge to America”? Paul Ryan hopes you don’t. Especially some of these key pieces.
"An arrogant and out-of-touch government of self-appointed elites makes decisions, issues mandates, and enacts laws without accepting or requesting the input of the many.
An unchecked executive, a compliant legislature, and an overreaching judiciary have combined to thwart the will of the people and overturn their votes and their values, striking down long- standing laws and institutions and scorning the deepest beliefs of the American people."
What have Republican voters gotten for believing the 2010 “Pledge”? After voting in solid majorities in both the House and Senate, it’s business as usual, as if Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were still in charge. Perhaps they are.
What has this latest budget deal done to thwart the Obama agenda? Very little. The omnibus bill fully funds Obama’s executive amnesty program. Sanctuary cities are funded -- so much for Kate Steinle’s tragic death bringing attention to sanctuary cities like San Francisco. Refugee resettlement programs are funded, allowing thousands of “refugees” into the country. With access to federal benefits. Ask Europe how that’s working out.
Worried about refugees from countries sympathetic to Islamic jihad? No problem. The student and fiancée visa programs are funded, along with green card and other refugee programs. Did the San Bernardino shootings not happen? Any lessons learned?
Illegal aliens coming across the southern border? Ryan’s bill funds their resettlement. Must be comforting to families terrorized by illegals. There is even funding for the release of criminal aliens. Let’s not leave out the bill quadrupling H-2B visas for unskilled guest workers. Unemployed Americans must be thrilled about more competition for entry level jobs. Illegals even have their tax credits funded by Ryan’s bill.
Any funds allocated to complete the southern border fence promised in 2006? No. Somehow Congress ran out of money for that. But not for a tall security fence around Paul Ryan’s own home. If fences don’t work, why does he and his family need one?
And there is more. Planned Parenthood is fully funded, despite their baby butchery. No funding cuts to ObamaCare either, kicking down the road some of the onerous ObamaCare taxes. Even Obama’s global warming climate change bill receives funding without any restriction.
Ryan can’t fund the fence on our southern border, but he can sure fund everything else.
Two narcissist partners in crime. I can't believe anymore I once endorsed the fucking traitor on the right for Romney's veep. And what's with the sudden appearance of the beard? You think that makes you sexy, asshole???
Instead of opposition to the Obama/Democrat agenda, Republicans have not only surrendered, but are also advancing this agenda. Do they not understand checks and balances? Separation of powers? Apparently not. The Republican leadership in Congress is acting as if they were an Obama administration cabinet department.
Impeachment is off the table. So is Republican’s “power of the purse” because the leadership has ruled out any government shutdown. Obama can do what he wants and spend money freely on his pet programs because the necessary checks on the executive branch have been willingly abandoned by the Republican leadership.
Where is the opposition to the agenda of the left? Isn’t that what Republicans promised if given control of the House and Senate? Where are the leaders? Where are the statesmen?
Republican establishment types wonder why Donald Trump is leading in the polls. Trump is filling the leadership vacuum left by Ryan, Boehner, and McConnell. “We the people” see the GOP morphing into the DNC, despite promises to the contrary over the past four years. The smart set at Fox News can’t understand why “we the people” aren’t flocking to Jeb or Marco, and instead supporting racist/fascist Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.
These two may be the last and only hope of maintaining a two-party system. If the establishment manages to destroy Trump and Cruz, then it’s lights out for the Republican party. The base will stay home and the Founding Fathers will roll over in their graves. As for any future support for the GOP, my answer be a Mrs. Clinton refrain, “What difference does it make?” The Republican Party will be six feet under and we will have one-party rule in Washington, DC."

What I would long have held for impossible has happened: I'm absolutely FURIOUS about the Republican Party. I cannot fathom anymore what evil spirits have gotten hold in the GOP leadership. The ease with which they time and again BETRAY their consituency is breathtaking. And I say this as an outsider.
Trump is no conservative. Trump is an opportunist. Trump in all likelihood won't keep his promises. But because of the sheer and utter CONTEMPT with which the so called Grand Old Party treats its voters, he DESERVES to win.
I never thought I would one day endorse Trump for the Republican nominee. Rick Perry was my man. I was astounded to hear that he, of all people, dropped out first.
Next I thought very highly of Dr Carson. But then he started to say funny things.
After Ryan's collaboration with the party that's purposefully RUINING the US, I see no other option anymore than supporting a Trump/Cruz ticket. It's America's last hope.
Two works by Caspar David Friedrich (5 September 1774 – 7 May 1840), the most prominent German Romantic landscape painter.
'Wanderer above a sea of fog'
My personal favorite. Painted in 1818. It's actually some kind of composite image since it depicts real mountainous features but which lie, in reality, too far apart from each other to be caught in such a narrow view. To the left is either the Rosenberg or the Kaltenberg, "summits" in the northwest of the Czech Republic. To the right is the Zirkelstein, a table hill in Saxon Switzerland SE of Dresden.
"...In 1975, I took a college course in psychology. The professor invited a gay man to speak to the class. He explained to us, "I'm just like you, only I prefer to have sex with men instead of women." No one objected or protested. What did we know? The thesis seemed plausible then, and today most people regard it as axiomatic.
The gay agenda is to convince the heterosexual majority that there are no appreciable differences between homosexuals and heterosexuals. We are to believe that sexual preference is merely a personal choice with no broader ramifications for society. The choice of a sexual partner or partners is supposed to be as innocuous as choosing a flavor of ice cream. The inescapable corollary is that any biases against homosexuality are necessarily irrational.
Attitudes toward homosexuality have shifted dramatically since the 1970s. In 1977, forty-three percent of the population thought homosexual relations between consenting adults should be criminalized. By 2015, this number had dropped to twenty-eight percent. As recently as 1996, only twenty-eight percent of poll respondents endorsed gay marriage. By 2015, the number had risen to fifty-eight percent. In Obergefell v. Hodges (2015), the US Supreme Court declared that gay marriage is a Constitutional right.
The gay agenda is now a fait accompli. How was it sold to the American people? In three ways. First, by control of language. Second, by media propaganda. Third, by relying upon the fact that ignorance is the normal human condition. Most people do not have a clue as to what homosexuals do or what the medical consequences of these practices are.
The most significant tool for promoting the gay agenda was the introduction of the word "homophobia." A phobia is an irrational fear. Thus the use of the term homophobia automatically implies that any aversion or objection to any facet of homosexuality is irrational. The beauty of this is that it removes the burden of argument. The speaker or writer who uses this term has presumed what needs to be demonstrated. Control of language is control of thought.
Nothing illustrates gay propaganda better than the film American Beauty (1999), a movie written and produced by gay men. The Oscar-winning film portrays two heterosexual couples, both of whom have dysfunctional marriages. The lead character, Lester Burnham, is married to a cold, faithless, and selfish realtor preoccupied with maintaining a proper image. Deeply dissatisfied with a life devoid of meaning, the forty-two-old Burnham resigns the position that he has held for the last fourteen years. Realizing that the time at which he was happiest in his life was when he worked at a fast-food restaurant during high school, Burnham finds work at a burger-and-fries joint. At one point in the film, Burnham seems to be on the verge of making an emotional breakthrough with his spouse. But the moment is spoiled when his wife refuses to make love on the living room sofa because it might leave a stain."
Carolyn Burnham, Lester's wife, enthusiastically firing a Smith & Wesson 5906 on a range early on in the movie. In American Beauty, the "bad" characters, Carolyn and ex-Marine Colonel Fitts, enjoy pleasures typically associated with rightwingers - like gun possession.
"The other couple is even worse. The father is a retired Marine, a homophobic martinet who collects Nazi memorabilia and beats his wife and son. As the movie unfolds, we find that the Marine's homophobia springs from his own suppressed and latent homosexuality. The only happy people in the entire film are a gay couple that live across the street. They are well-adjusted, smart, and funny. Invariably, every depiction of gay people in major American media today is unfailingly positive..."
At this point in the film, the ex-colonel's son Ricky shows Burnham's daughter his father's collection of nazi memorabilia. Also very convenient, 'cause Marines are the epitome of evil rightwingers and rightwingers are closet (or not so closet) Nazis, right?
The moment Chris Cooper's character, the ex-USMC Colonel Frank Fitts, oh so conveniently a suppressed homosexual, tries to kiss Lester Burnham. 'Cause every homophobic like Fitts and each and everyone who opposes the leftozoid gay dadas like gay marriage and adoption MUST himself be a closet homosexual, right?
The message conveyed by American Beauty is clear. The conventional heterosexual lifestyle and bourgeoisie family that was extolled by previous generations as the epitome of the good life is dysfunctional. Conservatives harbor secret fascist fantasies. They are wife beaters and child abusers. These anti-social derangements spring from the suppression of their own latent homosexual desires. Homosexuality is not merely acceptable, it is superior. If we would all just embrace our inner queer, the world would be a beautiful place...."
Before we go any further with Dr. Deming's interesting article, it is worth recalling that Chris Cooper is a liberal, Mena Suvari and Anette Bening are flamingliberals, and Kevin Spacey is a lunatic liberal, at one point going so far as to cozy up with Venezuela's Thugh-in-Chief Hugo Chavez who almost singlehandedly ruined his once prosperous country.
It's easy to understand why actors like these played their roles in a movie like American Beauty with gusto.
".. Thus we have come in a short period of forty years from regarding homosexuality as a criminal and immoral activity to one that is not only acceptable, but a lifestyle worth celebrating. Progressives view the gay agenda as the inevitable outcome of the moral evolution of the human race. In 2003, Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien bolstered his endorsement of gay marriage by explaining that "you have to look at history as an evolution of society." Acceptance of homosexuality as normal and healthy is viewed as akin to the abolition of torture, slavery, and bear-baiting. It's another milestone in a grand morality play featuring the inevitable triumph of reason and enlightenment over superstition and prejudice.
There's just one problem with the gay agenda: it's based on a lie. Homosexuals are not like heterosexuals, nor is the practice of homosexuality innocuous. The single largest problem for the gay agenda is medical science. In 2014, the CDC found that men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM), about 1 percent of the population, accounted for 83 percent of syphilis cases in the U.S. Syphilis, a disease that was once on the verge of eradication, is spreading like wildfire. According to the CDC, syphilis rates "are increasing at an alarming rate." The statistics for AIDS are similar. In 2010, MSM were responsible for 63 percent of new AIDS cases in the US. The rate of anal cancer among MSM is seventeen times higher than among heterosexuals. It is alarming that the gay community exhibits no restraint and cannot be self-policing. Even school children know about condoms, yet venereal diseases rage unchecked through the population of gay men. A recent report in the medical literature found that infection rates for both gonorrhea and chlamydia are increasing among MSM.
The fact that about two-thirds of syphilis and AIDS cases occur amongst one percent of the population tells us something that is immediate and unambiguous: that homosexuality is not an innocuous choice. What gay men do behind closed doors is fundamentally different from what heterosexuals usually do in their bedrooms. It's also more dangerous. In 1975, when that young man appeared before my psychology class, and told us in all apparent sincerity, "I'm just like you," he was lying.
Statistical data on syphilis and AIDS are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The CDC warns us that "many cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis continue to go undiagnosed and unreported." Other STDS, including, human papillomavirus, herpes, and trichomoniasis, "are not routinely reported." And now we have a new horror: a virulent strain of meningitis which strikes suddenly and can kill in a few hours. The Family Research Council describes the sexual practices of homosexuals as "a medical horror story." Of course, the Family Research Council is a conservative advocacy organization. Nevertheless, their claims are backed up by references to the medical literature. Every thesis has to be evaluated on its intrinsic merits, not the aims and objectives of its advocates..."
Some scientific material the Family Research Council is referring to.
"... Hypocrisy bothers me. Many of the same people who are enthusiastic about the gay agenda will denounce people who object to mandatory vaccinations. They remind us that vaccinations achieve the common good of reducing disease. But they won't accept that restricting the practice of homosexuality achieves the same end. If you don't accept climate alarmism, you're called a denier of science. But what medical science says about homosexuality is ignored or derided as homophobic propaganda. We are informed, endlessly, of the costs of gun violence, cigarette smoking, and obesity. What is the cost of homosexuality? How much does it cost to treat syphilis, AIDS, and a whole host of other diseases? What cost will we bear for the reemergence of syphilis, a disease that was almost eradicated? Neither are these plagues limited to gays. Bisexual men spread them into the heterosexual population.
I want to anticipate and answer the criticism that venereal diseases also occur among, and are spread by, heterosexuals. Yes, it's true. Every disease that is commonplace among homosexuals also occurs among heterosexuals. Every dangerous or questionable practice engaged in by homosexuals is also found in the heterosexual population. Granting these facts, there are two reasons the argument fails. First, the primary difference is a matter of degree. When 1 percent of the population gives rise to 83 percent of the syphilis cases, we're talking about a profound difference. Second, heterosexual sex must be tolerated because it's necessary for the propagation of the human race. In contrast, homosexuality is completely sterile and practiced only for personal gratification and hedonistic pleasure.
A lot of people will misunderstand what I am trying to accomplish with this essay. I'm not arguing that homosexuality is unnatural. The word "natural" is hopelessly ambiguous, and there are lots of "natural" things that most people would regard as bad. Examples include murder and the bubonic plague. My personal opinion is that homosexuality is usually ingrained, and not a matter of choice. I am certainly not advocating the persecution of gay people. I favor toleration of people who are different from the majority. I'm not advocating anything other than open discussion. I wrote this essay because I object to having a massive fraud foisted upon me. The gay agenda is based upon a lie.
It is a medical fact that the practice of homosexuality tends to promote the spread of disease. If you don't like or accept that fact, it's just too bad. As the saying goes, you're entitled to your own opinion, but you're not entitled to your own facts. There is a logical and intelligible argument to be made for restricting and discouraging homosexuality that is not based upon religion but medical science. The moral opprobrium attached to homosexuality by our ancestors was not based on irrational prejudice but sound reasoning. Homosexuality ought to be tolerated, not celebrated."

Geldermalsen, The Netherlands. The town authorities wanted to establish an asylum center capable of holding 1,500 in a commne of 11,000 people.
The people rioted. As they should.
I am a man of Law and Order. HOWEVER... when it has become crystal clear that our leaders, or what passes for it, pursue policies not only against the will of the people, but also policies that are HARMING us, policies which even endanger the future of our offspring, then... violence is allowed in my book.
This is the first time that I see our moral betters flee for safety, and I like every bit of it.
