SATURDAY NIGHT DAVID BOWIE SELECTION.

As you may or may not have noticed, David Bowie died from cancer recently.


Here's a selection of my favorites, off the top of my head.



Life on Mars.




From the 1971 album Hunky Dory. Perhaps my all-time favorite Bowie song.



Panic in Detroit.




From the 1973 album Aladdin Sane. The use of conga drums is an early testimony of Bowie's experimental zeal.



Soul Love.




Second track from the legendary album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972).



Moonage Daydream.




Also from, etc. Competes with Life on Mars for my all-time favorite Bowie song. With all the laurels heaped on Bowie, it's easy to forget how much this album owes to Mick Ronson, a first class guitarist who performed with top notch stars like Lou Reed, Van Morrison, Mott the Hoople, Morrissey and others. Pay special attention to the marvellous guitar solo starting at the 3:13 mark.



Five years.




From, etc.


Amsterdam.





Originally a song by Belgian singer/songwriter Jacques Brel, covered by Bowie and performed since 1968.



This is not America.





A 1985 song performed by Bowie and Pat Metheny Group; from the soundtrack of the movie The falcon and the snowman (1985).



When the wind blows.




A song from the 1986 film of the same name.



Absolute Beginners.




Theme song of the 1986 musical film of the same name which introduced, uh, Patsy Kensit.


Never let me down.




From his seventeenth studio album of the same name, released in 1987. It was recorded in Montreux, Switzerland, near beautiful Lake Constance, which is a nice enough place to drop by at least once in your life.



Jump they say.




From Black Tie White Noise, eighteenth studio album by Bowie (released in 1993). We were just talking about Mick Ronson, the gifted guitarist. Ronson contributed to this album, but it was to be the last time. Later in the year he died of cancer, aged only 46.


Ashes to ashes. Which was my first encounter with the Bowie Phenomenon, thanks to my good friend John D. S., who really introduced me to quality music.




From the 1980 album Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps).



I never gave much - if anything - for Bowie the Man, only for Bowie the Musician (even though I often had but the foggiest idea what exactly it was he was singing about). I suspect/assume Bowie in his younger years was something of a sexual pervert, who may or may not have bedded Mick Jagger, amongst others. I don't care about that - to each his own. Worse was the news that he fucked 15 year old girls Lori Mattix and Sable Starr, and these are just the names that we know. Also, me being a catholic, although admittedly not a very good one, I assume people would expect me to be angry at Bowie's aversion vis-à-vis the Catholic Church, as evident in amongst others his last but one album The Next Day.

But no, I'm not angry. I am of the philosophy "The deed is the punishment". And I just calmly notice that Bowie did to teens what he accused the Men of the Church of, and that a man who married a woman named Iman Mohamed Abdulmajid probably would never have made a music video mocking another religion of which the highest authorities, contrary to those of Christianity, have thus far refrained from paying damages to its countless victims of paedophilia.

That said, as a musical performer I consider the Thin White Duke without equal. The world will certainly be a duller place with him gone.

Rest in peace, David Bowie. And thanks - I mean it - for brightening up my life.

STORY OF WALID MUSTAPHA CHALHOUB, "CANADIAN" SEXUAL PREDATOR, SUSPICIOUSLY ABSENT IN EUROPEAN MEDIA:

From The Montreal Gazette, January 6, 2016:

"Walid Mustapha Chalhoub, 33, a resident of the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough, is charged with sexual assault on eight minors and an 18-year-old woman he had previously dated. He faces 48 charges in all in a trial at the Montreal courthouse. That includes ten counts of sexual assault, two counts of armed sexual assault and 11 counts of extortion.

Quebec Court Judge Serge Boisvert heard testimony from two young women who were close friends when they decided to go to Chalhoub’s apartment in the borough because a schoolmate had told one of them Chalhoub had a way for them to make easy money. The women were 16 and 17 when they went to Chalhoub’s home in August 2013. Both gave the Montreal police videotaped statements, last February, in which they said Chalhoub was vague about the contracts he offered them. The statements were played for Boisvert before each witness testified.

The young women said they were given alcohol and offered marijuana when they arrived and found a small party in progress in Chalhoub’s apartment. As the night progressed people gradually left and Chalhoub talked of being a chauffeur for escorts, claimed he was part of the Mafia and boasted that he had killed people.

Both women said they assumed Chalhoub wanted something sexual from them but that he was never specific when they discussed the contracts. One witness, who was 17 when Chalhoub sexually assaulted her, said she initially assumed her body would be painted while she was nude before going to his apartment. In her videotaped statement to Montreal police Det.-Sgt. Brigitte Guérard, recorded on Feb. 10 last year, the witness said that once she signed the contract Chalhoub suddenly made it clear he expected sex from her. She could either make $5,000 to perform fellatio on him using Nutella, a hazelnut cocoa spread, or make $12,000 to have intercourse with him. He said the sex acts would be recorded on video and sent to an Internet site where clients would to pay to view it. He assured her the video would not be accessible in Montreal. She told Guérard she felt drunk when she signed the three-page document.

She said she decided to back out of the agreement as Chalhoub walked with her to a Petro-Canada gas station near his home to buy condoms. When asked if she had actually agreed to have sex with Chalhoub at that point she replied that she was going along with him because she felt pressured and threatened.

“I said I didn’t want to do it. He said that to annul the contract would cost me $3,800,” the witness told Guérard in February. “He said he could set my house on fire, to think of my family, that he was part of the Mafia.”

The witness said she agreed to have sex with Chalhoub only out of fear and that she cried and held her 16-year-old friend’s hand while he raped her. She later testified that she didn’t want her friend to leave because she dreaded the idea of being left alone with Chalhoub.

“He told me to stop crying because it didn’t excite him,” the witness said.

The young woman’s father was in the courtroom while part of her videotaped statement was played for Boisvert. The man stared directly at Chalhoub, who sat in a prisoner’s dock, and never took his eyes off of him. Chalhoub avoided the father’s stare by keeping his eyes fixed on a television screen as the statement was shown. The father left the courtroom before his daughter described being raped...."

RECOMMENDED VIDEO: PAT CONDELL'S LATEST ON THE GROPING JIHAD.

Via our buddies at Gates of Vienna:




In other news, last Sunday, on the train Brussels-Tournai, three underage Syrian "refugees" of 12 and 13 year old harassed several girls and women. First they touched two 16-year old girls, then they groped a 22-year old woman. The woman started screaming and offered resistance, whereupon other passengers intervened.




Police was able to catch them afterwards in Tournai station, but after interrogation a judge ordered their release. When asked later why he had done so, the judge apparently communicated that at first he "underestimated the seriousness of the facts", then that he had only known of the incident with the woman, not of the prior harassment of the two girls.

Police is now reportedly looking for the three "refugees" again.

The latter, ladies and gentlemen, is what our Dutch and French neighbors call a "Belgenmop". A Belgium prank. An anecdote so stupid it can only happen here.

Btw, the three happen to live in France (Tournai is just near the border) and their parents are known to have asked asylum.

And islam has nothing to do with it.

RAINER WENDT, CHIEF OF GERMAN POLICE UNION: "EVERY OFFICER KNOWS THAT A CERTAIN POLITICAL EXPECTATION IS BEING CULTIVATED."

Via our Brothers-in-Arms at Gates of Vienna:




I have a natural aversion against everything that reeks of unions, but Wendt is completely correct. Note how Nordrhein-Westfalen's current Minister-President, Hannelore Kraft, who doubles as the leader of the Social Democratic Party in NRW, squirms like a snail to deflect the blame for the creation of Germany's stifling PC Climate.

Sorry. I meant actually, the ENTIRE Western World's stifling PC Climate.

Leftism in all its forms is going to be the death of us.

Whether it's ten US sailors surrendering to pipsqueak rafts of the Iranian "Navy", gay marriage, the gender industry, euthanasia, sclerotic economies, race wars, MMGW lunacy, murdering millions of perfectly healthy foetuses in the womb, the EU bullying against Poland while groveling in the dirt for Turkey, importing millions of muslim beasts in our countries...

... It is always THE LEFT. Everywhere you look.

GOP ESTABLISHMENT JUST-DOES-NOT-GET-IT.

Mark Steyn in his inimitable way nails it when he rips Nikki Haley's unforgivable jab against Donald Trump during what should exclusively be a SOTU rebuke: "The Stupid Party gets Stupider".

I wholeheartedly agree. Read the column, on this blog I will limit myself to just one quote:

"So these days the GOP can't even schedule an insipid forgettable SOTU response without insulting the overwhelming majority of its actual voters."

But Steyn also linked to a recent Brent Bozell critique of the GOP establishment, and I would recommend it just as well - on this occasion, perhaps even more:

"In Politico Tuesday, Republican elites warned that if Donald Trump or Ted Cruz become the nominee it would ruin the Republican brand.

How's that for party unity and loyalty?

More to the point: What brand?

The GOP brand is already ruined. And they ruined it.

The GOP brand was one that championed limited government. The second largest expansion of the federal government came under the stewardship of President Bush 43 with the GOP in control of both the House and the Senate. Since 2008, the growth has exploded, with more debt added during the Obama administration than all others combined. And since 2010, the GOP leadership has approved every single spending measure.

So much for limited government.

The GOP brand championed family values. They have done virtually nothing to uphold the American family in the face of relentless attacks from anti-family leftwing radicals. It is now illegal to defend your religion. God is being expelled from the public square everywhere. Marriage as a sacred institution has been abandoned. We are being forced to fund the killing of babies. None of these things were imaginable a generation ago. The GOP leadership has stood down every time families begged them to rise up.

So much for family values.

The GOP brand championed a strong national defense. Our adversaries are dangerous, threatening and on the march everywhere. Islamic terrorism is sweeping the globe. This administration has responded by gutting the military – and the GOP has endorsed it. Just as worrisome, our military are being emasculated from within by a politically-correct deconstructionist agenda that is ruining morale. The GOP is doing nothing about it.

So much for the commitment to a strong national defense

For years the GOP elites, along with their high-priced consultants, have cynically manipulated the Republican base, constantly promising to deliver on one issue after another, in order to get elected, yet delivering on nothing because there was never the intention of doing so.

Time and again since 2010, the Republicans have pledged to defund Obamacare. They’ve had countless opportunities to do so with meaningful legislation. Every time the opportunity has arisen, they’ve headed for the tall grass. Fail.

Republicans ran tens of thousands of ads in 2014 promising to stop Obama’s executive amnesty overreach. The moment to opportunity presented itself – they funded it.. Fail.

The Republican leadership declared its intention to stop federal funding of Planned Parenthood for once and for all. No serious effort has been enacted. Fail.

These Republicans declare in all of their speeches that they intend to rein in spending and shrink government – yet haven’t once even tried seriously. Fail.

I’m sure I could think of more failures. But there’s something I can’t recall. Beyond welfare reform and the naming of two superb Supreme Court Justices, I can’t think of any GOP accomplishment advancing the GOP brand over the past quarter century.

The rise of Trump and Cruz (and Carson and Fiorina too) is a direct reaction to the establishment’s own criminal incompetence.

But the GOP honchos are so blind to reality they can’t see any of this, or too dishonest to admit it. From Politico:


~In private conversations with several former aides, Mitt Romney, who in March will keynote the National Republican Congressional Committee’s annual fundraising dinner, has expressed rising frustration about Trump’s prolonged lead in polls and has argued that the real-estate mogul could inflict lasting damage on the party’s brand.


This from the Democrat-lite Republican who inexcusably couldn’t defeat the incumbent more vulnerable than even Jimmy Carter. His solution is to call for more of the same against Hillary Clinton.



Why does anyone bother listening to these men?

Consider these breathtakingly asinine comments from McConnell’s former chief of staff, Josh Holmes, in Politico:


~At some point, we have to deal with the fact that there are at least two candidates who could utterly destroy the Republican bench for a generation if they became the nominee… We’d be hard-pressed to elect a Republican dogcatcher north of the Mason-Dixon or west of the Mississippi.


These men really don’t care enough about the disintegration of America to do anything about it. They really don’t care about the Republican party either.

For them—the incumbents, the consultants and the Chamber—it is always about power. Their power.

The establishment is frightened. They should be. Donald Trump and Ted Cruz don’t pose a threat to the GOP, they pose a threat to them. The current worry among Republican elites boils down to this, and this only: The GOP establishment is paralyzed by fear that it will be defeated by Trump or Cruz."

-Brent Bozell is chairman of ForAmerica, the nation's largest active online conservative network with nearly 8 million supporters.


Like I said, Trump is no sane conservative's idea of an exemplary frontrunner for the GOP, but sane conservatives should by now be so I-N-F-U-R-I-A-T-E-D with the party Traitor establishment that for them Trump Trumps everything.

America should hope and pray for a Trump/Cruz ticket.

ZUMWALT FINISHES SEA TRIALS, ENTERS PORTLAND HARBOR.

Watch this video from Maine Imaging Photography. It shows the USN's Zumwalt (DDG-1000) entering Portland Harbor following sea trials in December. The Zumwalt is the first of three of its class, stealth destroyers being built for the Navy by General Dynamics BIW (Bath Iron Works) in Maine.




Woooooow, what a cute video!!!! What a nice ship.

On a sea like a billiard table.


Below is a pic of the German battlecruiser/battleship Scharnhorst prior to July 1939.






Here's a pic of the same ship, post August 1939.






Spot the difference? The Kriegsmarine considered both the Scharnhorst and it's sister ship the Gneisenau rather poor sea boats, bow-heavy and slow in turning.

That is why in the summer of 1939 both battlecruisers/battleships were fitted with a so-called Atlantikbug (Atlantic Bow).

To be sure, this adjustment was no wonder cure. Scharnhorst and Gneisenau continued to suffer from non-combat damage in heavy seas - during which "A" turret could barely be used. But is was an improvement.

I am no naval engineer, much less a seafarer. My marine expertise limits itself to having been on board ferries across the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Skagerrak. But when I look at the Zumwalt... I seriously wonder whether this ship can survive in a North Atlantic monsterstorm. The rationale for its bow is that it should "pierce the waves". It may pierce it so well that in a heavy storm it becomes a submarine.

Oh yeah... look where the Zumwalt's bridge is vis-à-vis the Scharnhorst's and Gneisenau's. Even with their new Atlantikbug, both ships could get "wet" to the bridge. I wonder what it's gonna look like on the Zumwalt's bridge in storms like these...




e.g. at the 1:01 mark.

I fear the Zumwalt is going to end up as but little better than the LCS - investment-wise of course. I have heard positive things about BIW so maybe they can make it a better ship than I imagine. But I do have serious doubts. Maybe, at some time in the future, BIW will be asked to fit the DDG-1000 and its sister ships with an Atlantikbug of their own.

MUSLIM SEX MOBS ON NEW YEAR'S EVE: KOELN APPARENTLY ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

More and more data is emerging indicating that the massive scale of sexual harassment, burglary and molestation by young muslim males opposite the Koelner Hauptbahnhof on New Year's Eva was no isolated incident. Bild reports:

FAR MORE ATTACKS THAN THOUGHT?

THE NEW YEAR'S EVE HORROR BALANCE.

Already more than 500 complaints in Cologne. +++ 500 men would have harassed women in front of a disco in Bielefeld.

Some exerpts from the Bild article:

"Thus far, Cologne Police has received 516 complaints - among them 150 because of sexual harassment! Apart from that other delicts, for the most part physical violence and theft. Police is currently investigating 350 hours of video material. More than 30 suspects have been charged, 19 of them are old acquaintances of police.

On two men Police found papers with German/Arabic translations - with phrases like "I kill you", "I want to fuck" and "Big breasts". Lots of stolen cell phones were located in asylum centers or in their immediate surroundings, Der Spiegel reports.

Police investigations mainly focus on men from North African countries [which is strange given earlier reports about the majority of the perpetrators being from the ME - MFBB]. It has yet to be seen whether it will be possible to charge them with specific, documented criminal acts.

On Saturday evening at around 9.10 pm a Moroccan who had stolen a cell phone from a 23-year old Cologne woman, was arrested. Since 2013 he has been charged several times for felony.

In other German cities, attacks were clearly far more severe than thought thus far!

The journal "Westfalen Blatt" reports that on New Year's Eve, a 500-strong muslim mob violently tried to force itself into the "Elephant Club" disco. In the process, numerous women were touched inappropriately. The disco's security chief: "only using physical violence were we able to help the women and set them free." Bielefeld Police confirmed: "the first complaints from violated women are being processed". "Our officers had to regularly provide assistance in enforcing the disco's rules. The agression from the [muslim] mob was without precedent and very aggressive."

In Hamburg, 108 complaints from women have been received so far. Last Thursday, the number was "only" 70. A spokesman explained the rising number as the result of "more attention being paid by public servants"."

PI News, which is on top of things regarding the ongoing crisis, reports that it is still under attack. A screenshot from their site, taken around 11.30pm this evening/night:




The DDOS attacks could originate from three sources: the German government itself, leftist radicals, or muslim organizations. Regardless the identity of the hackers, it is clear that some have a vested interest in the German people not knowing to what extent the fabulous multiculti model is an absolute and horrible failure.

ONLY IN BELGIUM: MINISTER FOR ASYLUM AND MIGRATION THEO FRANCKEN ORGANIZES SEX EDUCATION FOR MIGRANTS "TO TEACH THEM RESPECT FOR WOMEN".

I'm again a bit late to shed some light on this subtopic but so be it. Well, whaddaya know? Belgian Minister (OK, technically he's a State Secretary, but whatever) for Asylum and Migration Theo Francken will organize sexual education for (male) refugees and asylum seekers.



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.

MERKEL CRACKING DOWN ON FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN GERMANY: PI-NEWS SUBJECTED TO HEAVY DDOS ATTACKS.

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:

POL-K: 160101-1-K/LEV Ausgelassene Stimmung - Feiern weitgehend friedlich

"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..."

... when, after clicking through to PI-News...

... 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."


Godspeed, guys!

CARTOON OF THE DAY.

Via PI-News:




Father: "That's my daughter!!!"

Policeman: "Be tolerant, you shit Nazi!"


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.

It now turns out that most were exactly that: Syrian refugees. According to Cologne Police, most of those they controlled were not of North African origin, but asylum seekers from... Syria.

And many stolen cell phones have been located in refugee centers.

OUTLAW MIKE ENDORSES DONALD TRUMP.

Trump is no conservative.

Trump is an opportunist.

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.

KOELN, GERMANY, NEW YEAR'S EVE: ABOUT 1,000 MUSLIMS HARASS AUTOCHTON POPULATION, LAUNCH FIREWORKS IN CROWDS; SCORES OF WOMEN GROPED, VIOLATED.

Via PI News:

"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...


... to ridicule and chastise him. A screenshot from their site:




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.

SUNDAY NIGHT ART SNACK: JEAN-BAPTISTE-CAMILLE COROT (1796-1875).

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.


Enjoy.

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM CZECH PRESIDENT MILOS ZEMAN: "THE IMMIGRATION WAVE IS AN ORGANIZED INVASION."

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."

RECOMMENDED VIDEOS: PAT CONDELL'S 'GOODBYE SWEDEN'.

Also, don't miss this article by American Thinker's Carol Brown: Islam, rape, and the fate of Western women:

"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..."

And some more info from The Gatestone Institute, "One month of islam and multiculturalism in Sweden: July 2015."

"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..."

Happy thoughts to you.

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2015!!!

A Merry Christmas to all readers of good will!

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.

FOR OUR GERMAN READERS: SPEECHES BY FILIP DEWINTER AND ANKE VAN DERMEERSCH DURING PEGIDA DEMO IN DRESDEN, DECEMBER 7, 2015.

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)

Filip, eine gewarnte Frau zählt doppelt!"

MEET PAUL RYAN, TRAITOR.

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."

Brian C Joondeph, MD, MPS, a Denver based retina surgeon and writer.


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.

SUNDAY NIGHT ART SNACK: CASPAR DAVID FRIEDRICH (1774-1840).

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.




'Cemetery entrance'

RECOMMENDED READS: DAVID DEMINGS' "THE GAY AGENDA AND THE REAL WORLD".

Spot on article by David Deming over at American Thinker:

"...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 flaming liberals, 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."

OUTLAW MIKE ENDORSES GELDERMALSEN RIOTS.

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.




Go Geldermalsen!

AD OF THE DAY.

Call me grumpy. I probably am. But I don't care.

Ad today on HLN's site (Het Laatste Nieuws).

An ad from the well-known Dutch bank ING (Internationale Nederlanden Groep).

You see the ad's wings on either side of the central news column, plus a smaller window with the same message.

THAT YOU ARE GOING TO LIVE TOGETHER WITH SOMEONE TWENTY YEARS YOUR SENIOR IS YOUR CHOICE.

WE WILL DO EVERYTHING TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE.

Don't get me wrong, I'm convinced lasting and true relationships of this kind are possible. I'm sure they do happen.

What I take issue with is that this is an umpteenth example of a Europe that has completely lost its impetus for procreation, forever promoting or championing alternative lifestyles.

Preferably lifestyles that do not produce offspring.

The woman looks like she's in her late fifties.

The guy looks like he's in his mid-thirties.

For those ladies out there happening to be around that age, for God's sake, don't you ever think I am one of those mysoginists who discard women mentally once they're past 45. I'm not that kind of guy. Heck, a lady in a loving relationship with a guy twenty years her junior may even be reading this - I don't deny or begrudge you the pleasure and the sense of fulfillment you possibly draw from it.

It's just that it's getting more and more difficult for me to endure the bombardment of messages promoting each and every possible way of relationship EXCEPT the one that got us all on the world in the first place: a relationship of a male and a female, both in fertile ages, both devoted to each other, both in a timeframe that allows bringing up a gaggle of kids while they're in their prime.

In the meantime, there's a certain demographic in Europe that's exhibiting an extraordinary tendency to reproduce. When I drive my kids to school, or when I happen to race through town from one client to another, I CAN'T miss the scores of veiled women pushing baby carts, more often than not swarmed by three or four more very young kids.


Europe's men are sterile and have forgotten what their instrument is for in the first place.

Europe's females are barren and are in all kinds of media almost encouraged to give lesbian relationships a try.

We are doomed.

There are times that I'm so fed up with it all that I'd like to call it quits over here in moribund Europe. That I do no longer want to be surrounded by people celebrating death. Whether they be the ever more ubiquitous muslims, or my own post-christian compatriots who are no longer interested - even opposed to - in passing on their genes.

But even if this is turning out to be my kind of fight - tapping away at a keyboard close to midnight decrying our civilizational decline - then I can't walk away from it no more than a trooper from 10th Mountain Division can walk away from a firefight in the Hindu Kush.
