RECOMMENDED READS: RYAN BOMBERGER'S "#BLACKLIVESMATTER, WHITE GUILT AND THE MARKETING OF RACISM".

A must read column by Ryan Bomberger over at Townhall.

"...I can’t breathe.

I’m literally fighting back tears as I write, again, about this prevalent injustice. They don’t see us as individual human beings, but a group to be exploited, separated, and judged based on our pigmentation.

I’m talking about mainstream media and their manipulation of all Americans, corralling us into our respective color zones. They have a narrative to peddle. And we see it with every tragic account of black Americans killed by those tasked with the extremely dangerous job of serving and protecting. I’m repulsed by a news media that is hell-bent on fomenting a racial war.

I’m angry by the seemingly impulsive and irreversible actions of overzealous police officers whose punishment (if that even happens in court) will never bring back these precious lives.

Many of us can recall the names: Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Freddie Gray, Alton Sterling. Regardless of guilt or innocence, we know their names. But who can recall one single white person killed by police officers? Go ahead. Ask your friend, your co-worker, your FB followers, your #BlackLivesMatter activist. The answer will be the same. Silence.

Whites are killed by cops, according to a database created by the Washington Post twice as much as blacks. Out of a total of 990 killed, 494 (or 49.9%) were white and 258 (or 26%) were black. 782 of those killed, or 79%, were armed with a deadly weapon. But hey, let’s only report when unarmed black individuals are victims of police brutality. This is a deliberate and despicable attempt by mainstream media to color the issue.

So, armed with the one-sided reporting, #BlackLivesMatter leaders (who have no use for the facts) declare there is an epidemic of cops killing innocent black people. There are 45,672,250 black Americans (including those who are biracial); I’m one of them. The 258 police-caused African-American deaths in 2015 amount to 0.000006% of the black population. It’s tragic but not an epidemic. But if you tweet it a million times and mainstream media reports on it daily, how can you blame people for thinking this is widespread? Worse, the death of someone’s loved one is exploited for a political agenda.

Every agonizing death is one too many. Thursday night, I heard from those who’ve lost loved ones to senseless violence, which were mostly the result of black-on-black crime. Yes. Black homicide victims’ biggest threat is not those in blue, but those with black skin. Of the 3,021 blacks murdered (single victim/single offender), 90% of the murderers…were black.

In a shocking episode of rhetoric-turned-reality, five cops were assassinated in Dallas because the “pigs in a blanket, fry ‘em like bacon” BLM crowd and liberal news media waged their war. Now, they must own the casualties. This isn’t the first time cops have been targeted and killed by BLM rhetoric and gun violence.

But, sure, Jesse Williams. Let’s blame “whiteness”. Let’s pretend “police somehow manage to de-escalate, disarm and not kill white people every day.” Guess those 494 white people killed by cops in 2015 are just imaginary. Williams, like many other #BlackLivesMatter celebrity activists, simply sticks to the script. There is just rich irony in a biracial man (from a black father and white mother), blaming “whiteness” for the violence and oppression of black Americans, being given the BET Humanitarian Award by State Farm (a company run by white executives with only one non-white, black Board member) and Viacom (a network run by white executives).


Which brings me to the epidemic that is happening in this country—Whites Accepting Guilt Syndrome, or WAGS. Just stop it. Stop crying on Facebook about your complicity when you ignore the context. Stop blaming your “privilege” for someone else’s actions. I’m tired of seeing fellow evangelicals mistake capitulation for compassion. We can rally for racial justice…any kind of justice, without embracing a fundamentally dishonest political movement. We will never defeat injustice, when and where it really happens, by the unjust power of a lie...."

You should get to know Ryan. His life story is amazing.

JUST A POLICE RAID IN SCHAARBEEK, BRUSSELS...

No no no no no no no noooooo don't worry, this time round it isn't about muslim terrorists!

So it's been ramadan again, unfortunately.

Belgian law stipulates clearly that cattle to be slaughtered has to be anaesthetized first.

Of course, muslims would not be muslims if they would not also object to this law, you know...

... because it's a kuffar law, and cattle has to be slaughtered halal, i.e. alive and with as much pain and terror for the animals involved as possible.

So during ramadan, a lot of muslims slaughter cattle, especially sheep, the halal way - and do so clandestinely.

To prevent this, the Belgian authorities every year go to great lengths to provide muslims with large slaughtering halls - at great cost to the Belgian taxpayer - where the animals can be slaughtered in an organized way - but where they are anaesthetized first.

Needless to say, these halls are no big success. I recall a story from 2015 where a large space had been made available and nary a muslim had shown up.

It is clear that every year, impressive numbers of animals meet a grisly and violent end in makeshift slaughterhouses.

The following photos picture a raid by police on a suspected illegal abattoir in Schaarbeek, another culturally enriched commune of Brussels:




Police raid an apartment building in Schaarbeek where they suspect an illegal slaughterhouse...





...on the balcony of an apartment they discover sheep being held in a makeshift pen. You can imagine the sanitary conditions. The Middle East's charms on display, in all their glory, in the heart of the European capital!!!





... in a communal place of the building it's bingo. For this unfortunate animal the raid came too late.





These neanderthal fucks live for free in an apartment paid for by CPAS/OCMW money - read kuffar money!


Happy thoughts to you!

PFORZHEIM, GERMANY: TURKISH ISLAMIC SUPREMACIST ROCKER/BIKERGANG "OSMANEN GERMANIA BOXING CLUB" RAISES NEW CHAPTER.

Via PI-News:

"... Last weekend alone, around 160 police officers had a hard time keeping the Turkish-nationalistic rocker/bikergang "Osmanen Germania Boxing Club" from battling their Kurdish adversaries from "Bahoz". Between 200 and 600 - exact numbers seem to lack - had descended on Sunday in the Wilderfinger area of Pforzheim, which would have turned in a battlefield in the blink of an eye, had police not intervened. The reason for the turmoil was the raising of another "Osmanen Germania Boxing Club" chapter in Pforzheim - an area which even without these problems (caused by such gangs) suffers from unemployment and acute socio-economic problems.

"Osmanen Germania BC" is known to be one of the fastest growing rocker/bikerclubs in the entire country and it is telling that this gang has come to Pforzheim, of all places, a city with one of the highest concentrations of salafists in Germany. In Badem-Wuerttemberg alone there's already six chapters of the organization (in Stuttgart, Heilbronn, Mannheim, Heidelberg, Konstanz und Ravensburg). The Erdogan cult is just as well a hallmark of the movement as its discrimination of Kurds and non-muslims. In this manner, islamic extremists gain even more power in a decrepit town, wherein sharia long ago made inroads already.

The Osmania gang is situated (politically) near the Turkish "Grey Wolves" rightwing extremists, of which the nervous system is situated in Istanbul. There was no trace whatsoever of opposition in Pforzheim against the raising of yet another Osmania chapter. It is known that the movement's network covers Turkey, Austria, Switzerland and even Sweden. Drug and gun trafficking as well as human trafficking are only part of the many areas of operation for the international market. The gang is known as a group with an extremely high conflict potential - in Westphalia alone half of all its members would have seen a jail from the inside...."

Watch this chilling video:

Try to imagine how much chance your typical effeminate western metrosexual stands against brutal thugs like these.

GERMANY: MUSLIMS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENORMOUS INCREASE (GERMAN POLICE: "ENORMEN ANSTIEG") IN SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN SWIMMING POOLS.

A sobering report in BILD:




SEX MOB ALARM IN THE SWIMMING POOL.

PI-News has the goods:

"What we foresaw for months - not as clairvoyants, but rather as observers firmly rooted in reality - is now being confirmed by the BILD publication of an internal mail issued by Duesseldorf Police in the middle of June. Therein an officer responsible for tackling sexual assaults, speaks of an "enormous increase" of sexual harassments and outright abuse of children in swimming pools by "for the largest part immigrants" - litterally it is written "The KK12 concludes that sexual abuse shows an enormous increase, in particular assaults and sexual harassement of children in swimming pools". As the assaults are almost exclusively done by gangs, pinpointing the perpetrators is very difficult."

Particularly distressing is Amanpour's ridiculous claim that the "Leave"-voters are pro-Brexit because of... racism.

EGYPT: MUSLIM MOB TORCHES 80 HOMES OF CHRISTIANS IN AL-BEIDA VILLAGE.

Another tidbit of essential news that must be hidden from the Great Unwashed because, well, because islam is a religion of peace at all cost, you know.

Via Christian Post, June 21, 2016:

"A Muslim mob torched and looted the homes of 80 Christian families in the Al-Beida village in Egypt, looking to punish them for wanting to turn one of the buildings in the village into a church so they can worship.

International Christian Concern, which reports on persecution against Christians around the world, said the violence occurred last Friday.

One witness, Christian resident Mousa Zarif, recalled the events: "On Friday afternoon, following Friday noon prayer, a great deal of fanatic Muslims gathered in the front of the new house of my cousin, Naim Aziz, during its construction because of a rumor spread in the village that this building would be turned into a church."

Zarif added: "They were chanting slogans against us. Among these slogans were. 'By no means shall there be a church here.'"

ICC noted that Christians in the village, a minority of the population as they are elsewhere throughout Egypt, have no churches nearby, and must travel 4 miles to find a place to worship.





The Muslim mob, after finding out about the plans to turn the Christian-owned building into a church, destroyed all constriction materials, and injured Aziz alongside his cousin, Mousa.

The mob then looted and torched all Christian homes and properties in the surrounding area, causing Christians to flee.

Fr. Karas Naser, the priest of Holy Virgin and the Archangel Michael Coptic Church who came to the village by car, was saved from serious harm by moderate Muslims who stood up to the radicals and got him out of the vehicle.


"We are heartbroken and frustrated for the Christian community in Al-Beida and the terror they have endured. The police and government authorities in Egypt cannot allow these attacks to go unpunished because the victims come from a minority faith," said William Stark, ICC's regional manager for South Asia.

"It is unspeakable that the victims of these attacks were charged with crimes while the perpetrators continue to enjoy total impunity. It continues to show how Christians in Egypt are treated like second class citizens. We call on the Egyptian authorities to ensure that justice is served and that Christian communities like this be protected from further assault in Egypt."

Christians have suffered mob violence on numerous occasions this past year. Just last month, seven Christian homes were torched and ransacked, while a Christian mother was stripped naked and humiliated by Muslims who were angry that her son had an alleged affair with a Muslim woman.

Reports said the Christian mother was dragged out of her home, after which the Muslim mob beat her and stripper her naked on the streets, chanting Allahu Akbar, or "God is great."

Anba Makarios, Minya's top Christian cleric, condemned the lack of police action to help the woman.

"No one did anything and the police took no pre-emptive or security measures in anticipation of the attacks," Makarios said at the time. "We are not living in a jungle or a tribal society. It's incorrect for anyone to declare himself judge, police and ruler."

I get a sour taste in my mouth because of stories like that, knowing how over here local and not so local dignitaries are tripping over their feet to provide muslims land for mosques at bargain prices.

SIX BAF F-16 JETS DEPLOYED TO JORDAN, WILL CONDUCT ANTI-IS MISSIONS OVER IRAQ AND SYRIA.

Last Monday, a six-plane detachment of F-16 figher bombers left Belgium for an air base in Jordan, whence they are to conduct combat missions against ISIS.





Via the BAF site:

"On Monday, June 27 2016, six F-16 fighter planes left from Kleine Brogel AFB for Jordan. For one year they will contribute to the coalition against IS.

Defense Minister Steven Vandeput and Major General Frederik Vansina, BAF Commander, were present. The Belgian detachment will take over from their Dutch colleagues. This had been agreed among the coalition partners last year already. The Belgian effort in Operation Inherent Resolve, the coalition war against IS, accounts for around five per cent of the total. Apart from the six jets and their pilots there's ground crews underway, as well as staff personnel, to be stationed in HQ's in Qatar and Germany (Ramstein).

Minister Vandeput expects the Belgian F-16's to once again play a role in pushing back IS, especially in Iraq, and when necessary in Syria: "We have ourselves found out, on March 22, what IS means for our own security. It is clear that we must guarantee the safety in our own country, but if we want to beat IS in the long term, we will have to do it in their turf, in the Middle East."

The Belgian F-16's received a software update just prior to departure, a new step in the continuous modernization of their capacities. Major General Vansina emphasizes the importance of decent material and training: "Our F-16's aren't the youngest, but they are continually being modernised. They are still equal to F-16's in other air forces, so we are equipped [for battle against IS] just as well. Our pilots' training is also world class. We have a lot of young, motivated personnel doing just fine."

A video taken at Kleine Brogel last Monday:





During their previous stint in Jordan, from September 2014 to June 2015, our F-16's flew over 600 missions and destroyed 107 IS targets, but only in Iraq. This time round, they will also conduct missions over Syria.

DEMOCRATS, GUN CONTROL LAWS AND THE CHRONICLE OF DEATHS FORETOLD.

The big news of the day is of course Brexit, and we will come to that - I hope so - but in the meantime my take on another hot topic.


There may have been a time when Democrats actually stood for some positive vision, some sensible projects.

But it's clear that must have been a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

The corpses of those gunned down at the Pulse nighclub were still warm when Demonrats already jumped on the occasion to scandalously use this as leverage for their age-old gun control laws.

Guns are tools. They are tools of death, but they remain TOOLS.

Suppose that statistical evidence would show that more people die in traffic under the wheels of, say, BMW cars, than when other makes of cars are involved. What should be done? Should the State forbid BMW to build any more cars? Or should the State impose much harsher fines on reckless drivers?

I don't know if the latter would have much effect, given how unhinged some people can be behind the wheel, but I think that it should be crystal clear to anyone that closing down BMW factories the world over would be a very stupid means to address the situation.

It's the same with guns. Guns are not the problem. The shooters are the problem, and in today's world "the shooters" verrry often means islamic terrorists.

The people murdered in Orlando died not because of AR-15's being available on the market.

They were murdered because islam hates gays, plain and simple.

France has very strict gun control laws. Yet the people murdered at the Bataclan theatre in November 2015 were gunned down anyway. With AK-47s bought in my own country, Belgium.

Which also has very, very strict gun control laws.

Failure to acknowledge this simple truth, means ensuring that carnages like in Orlando and Paris will happen again.

Therefore the demonrat bozos featured in the cartoon below, courtesy Biff Spackle, are criminals themselves.

RECOMMENDED READS: THE GATESTONE INSTITUTE'S "A MONTH OF ISLAM IN GERMANY: MAY 2016."

Over at The Gatestone Insitute, Soeren Kern has compiled a bleak report. In light of the dreadful information it contains, it is difficult to think of Germany's ruling "elites" are anything else than completely and irreversibly insane.

"◾During an investigation into the mass sexual assaults in Cologne on New Year's Eve, a chief superintendent from the Cologne police department revealed that he was ordered to remove the term "rape" from an internal police report about the assaults.


◾The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees, says it will process more than one million asylum requests in 2016.


◾Thousands of Christians in German refugee shelters are being persecuted by Muslims, sometimes even by their security guards. — Open Doors, German branch.


◾"German security officials have indications that members and supporters of terrorist organizations are being smuggled in with refugees in a targeted, organized way in order to launch attacks in Germany." — German Federal Police.


◾Muhterem Aras was elected as the female first Muslim speaker of the state parliament in Baden-Württemberg. Aras has been a proponent of allowing migrants without German citizenship to vote in local elections.


◾A 26-year-old migrant from Afghanistan was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison for raping a woman who had offered him accommodation in her home in Cologne by means of a website, "Refugees Welcome."





May 1. The anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD), now the third-most popular political party in Germany, adopted a manifesto calling for curbs to migration and restrictions on Islam. The document calls for a ban on minarets, Muslim calls to prayer and full-face veils.

May 2. Hans-Georg Maaßen, the head of Germany's domestic intelligence agency, revealed that around 90 "predominately Arabic-speaking" mosques in Germany are under surveillance. He said they involve mostly "backyard mosques" where "self-proclaimed imams and self-proclaimed emirs" are "inciting their followers to jihad." He called on moderate Muslims to work with the government to fight extremism and defend the constitutional order. Maaßen was speaking ahead of a security conference in Berlin at which he said that his agency we receiving on average four terror alerts every day: "The Islamic State is committed to attacking Germany and German interests."

May 2. During an investigation into the mass sexual assaults in Cologne on New Year's Eve, a chief superintendent from the Cologne police department revealed that he was ordered to remove the term "rape" from an internal police report about the assaults. The superintendent, identified only as Jürgen H., said that he received a telephone call on January 1 from an official at the interior ministry in North-Rhine Westphalia, who told him in an angry tone: "This is not rape. Remove this term from your report. Submit a new report." The revelation adds to suspicions that there was a political cover-up to avoid fueling anti-immigration sentiments.

May 3. A 20-year-old migrant from Afghanistan sexually assaulted a six-year-old boy in the changing room of a sports hall in Munich. Police said the same migrant had sexually assaulted an 11-year-old girl at a public swimming pool in 2013.

May 3. A high court in Düsseldorf ruled that a group of eight German Islamists who dressed up in orange vests with the words "SHARIA POLICE" and who attempted to enforce Islamic law on the streets of Wuppertal in 2014 would face trial. The ruling overturned a lower court decision in December 2015 that the men would not face trial. The upper court said that the men had violated a law banning the wearing of uniforms at public rallies. The law, which prohibits uniforms that express common political views, was originally designed to ban neo-Nazi groups from parading in public. If convicted, the Islamists face up to two years in prison..."

THE BLESSINGS OF MULTICULTURALISM IN BELGIUM: TWELVE TERROR SUSPECTS ARRESTED, POSSIBLY PLANNED ATTACK DURING RED DEVILS SOCCER MATCH.

Via Het Laatste Nieuws, this morning:






New terror cell rounded up: 12 suspects arrested who planned attack during Red Devils soccer match.

"Last night anti-terror units rounded up a new terror cell, the Federal Prosecutor confirmed. In the course of some 40-odd house searches in sixteen towns, 12 suspects were arrested. 152 garage boxes were searched. Weapons or explosives were not found. The suspects would have been planning to execute an attack on Brussels' Rogier Square during the Red Devils' soccer match htis afternoon, VTM News learned [Red Devils = Rode Duivels, Belgium's national soccer team, currently participating in the European Soccer Championship].

In the course of this large anti-terror sweep police searched forty houses in sixteen communes: in Brussels, Sint-Jans-Molenbeek, Schaarbeek, Anderlecht, Koekelberg, Sint-Agatha-Berchem, Evere, Vorst, Watermaal-Bosvoorde, Ganshoren, Zaventem, Ninove, Wemmel, Fleurus, Tubize and Liège. Forty people were apprehended for interrogation. Of these, twelve were arrested. In the coming hours, the Federal Prosecutor will decide whether they will stay in jail or not.

The Federal Prosecutor stated "that immediate intervention was necessary", but declined to give further information."

The info is a bit confusing, since the article states boldly that the twelve planned a terror attack, which implies there's evidence, while later in the same article "the federal prosecutor will decide whether they will remain in custody or not".

Be all that as it may, the important info is "that immediate intervention was necessary".

No immediate interventions are necessary in Belgium's Armenian, Portuguese, Polish, Chinese or whatever communities. We got no problem with them. They contribute, they respect the law. You barely even hear them. They are a bonus to the country.

If an intervention involving FORTY house searches in MUSLIM communities in no less than SIXTEEN communes "is necessary"... there have been some SERIOUS hints. That's SERIOUS cause for concern.

I notice something else: houses were also searched in Ninove, Tubize, Fleurus, away from the big cities.

That means the islamic cancer is metastizing.

TAQQIYA FROM THE HUSSEINI ISLAMIC CENTER, ORLANDO, FLA.

The Husseini Islamic Center in Orlando, FLA, reportedly condemns the horrific attack at the Pulse nightclub by Omar Mateen that left 49 dead and scores of wounded:

"Members of Husseini Islamic Center (HIC), stand united with our fellow Americans in categorically condemning this attack. We share the grief and sorrow of the nation and stand united with the Central Florida community and City of Orlando. Our heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to the families and loved ones who are victims of this tragedy."

Oh really?

As recently as 2013, that very same Husseini Islamic Centre invited a certain Sheikh Farrokh Sekaleshfar, a British born islamic "scholar" to speak at the centre's mosque. During that speech, Sekaleshfar said "the killing of homosexuals is the compassionate thing to do"....

... and nobody at the HIC objected:




Here's video of the "event":

“Death is the sentence. We know there’s nothing to be embarrassed about this, death is the sentence...We have to have that compassion for people, with homosexuals, it's the same, out of compassion, let’s get rid of them now.”

Guess the good sheikh made himself abundantly clear, huh? So, Husseini Islamic Centre, spare us your nonsense and lies. We all know that you condone, even cheer, the murder of 49 of your "fellow Americans".


The supreme irony is, of course, that perhaps nowhere on the planet as many men engage in homosexual behavior as in the muslim world. This article is lifting just a tip of the veil, but there are many, many more hints. But what would you expect in a societal model that condemns its young men full of testosterone to rampage around with basically no one else but their own sex? A societal model that hides its women - especially its most attractive ones! - from view? The islamic world is basically one enormous prison where far too many of the male inmates can only rely on their own sex to let off some steam.


Anyway... as a human and a Christian, although admittedly, far from an ideal one, I offer my sincere condolences to the relatives of those brutally murdered and wounded. This is a tragedy without equal. And, I fear, an omen of things to come, if coward politicians continue to evade the truth about the attack's real nature.

SUNDAY NIGHT ART SNACK: THEO VAN RYSSELBERGHE (1862-1926).

Théo van Rysselberghe (23 November 1862 – 14 December 1926) was probably the foremost Belgian neo-impressionist painter. Beginning as a Realist, he evolved rather quickly to impressionism, exhibiting at the age of 19 already at the Brussels Salon.





The garden of Félicien Rops at Essone.

Van Rysselberghe, born in Flanders but francophone, since a scion in the Belgian bourgeoisie where Flemish was considered a peasant's language, was also a co-founder of the artistic circle "Les XX" (Les Vingt, The Twenty), a band of progressive Belgian artists rebelling against the prevailing realism of the age - much like a generation earlier the Pre-Raphaelites in England had rebelled against the style of Joshua Reynolds and followers.

Just to make a couple of things clear...

While I reserve the right to point out certain things re the horrible excesses committed by Japanese military personnel during its militaristic regime's tenure, I want to make it clear that I don't hold the Japanese people themselves responsible for that. I want to emphasize that I respect Japan and its citizens TRE-MEN-DOUS-LY. I salute you and your ingenuity, stamina, labor ethic, scientific and technological prowess; your fascinating history and rich culture; your fine cuisine (our family is a regular visitor to a very decent Japanese restaurant in Brussels, Kabuki); and last but not least, your absolutely beautiful country.
