Brussels Officials Ordered to Avoid Public Park After Slew of Migrant Attacks

By Dan Lyman

Government employees have been ordered to avoid walking near a Brussels park during their work commute after a slew of robberies and attacks by migrants in recent weeks, according to local media.

Since October 1st, at least seven public workers have been ambushed while passing through Maximilian Park en route from a nearby transit station to the Flemish Administrative Center, Der Standaard reports.

“Given the current social context and the dark days, it is best for your safety to avoid the Maximilian Park and to focus on well-lit main roads,” civil servants were advised, according to SCEPTR.

Government employees union ACOD has instructed members to either make the journey via a provided shuttle bus service, or take a taxi, asserting that prior warnings about the increasing danger have drawn ridicule.

“We were painted as ridiculous before,” says AOCD representative Jan Van Wesemael. “But these new incidents show that we were right and that the environment is dangerous. I hope that officials will use that shuttle bus as much as possible.”

SCEPTR journalist Tom Lallemand recently posted a video of the park and its inhabitants on social media, writing, “Hundreds of illegal immigrants sleep or wander around in Maximilian Park Brussels, harrowing.”

Monique De Ceuster, 57, was a recent victim, suffering a cracked elbow during a gang robbery.

“I was on my way to the station on Tuesday evening when I was attacked from behind,” De Ceuster told Der Standaard. “Three men pulled off my handbag and backpack and pushed me to the ground.”

Press TV reported that some 500 mostly-African migrants were living in Maximilian Park as of March, noting that the majority were not even applying for asylum “for fear of being deported.”

Angela Merkel: In This Day and Age States Must Be Ready to Give Up Sovereignty – Nationalist Countries are Not Patriotic

By Jim Hoft

Germany, a country of 82 million, welcomed from 800,000 to over one million migrants and unvetted “refugees” in 2015.

Chancellor Angela Merkel welcomed close over 280,000 migrants in 2016.

In April 2017 after several Islamist terror attacks and after Islamists tried to blow up a bus carrying a top German soccer team, Merkel told reporters that “there is no doubt” that some refugees pose a security threat.

A new tradition started in Germany this Christmas season.
This year the popular Berlin Christmas market is surrounded by a metal fence reinforced by giant sand bags.

The Diversity barriers are back.
Via Vlad Tepes:

But Angela Merkel has not learned from her suicidal politics.
This week Merkel lectured countries to be ready to give up their sovereignty. She went on to say that nationalistic politics are selfish and not patriotic.

The Express reported:

Mrs Merkel, who last month announced she was controversially stepping down as leader of her party but not as Chancellor of Germany despite previously saying the two roles go hand in glove, said ceding power to a superstate is a better form of patriotism.

She told the event, titled ‘Parliamentarianism Between Globalisation and National Sovereignty’: “In this day nation states must today – should today, I say – be ready to give up sovereignty.

“But of course in an orderly procedure.”

Mrs Merkel said that countries who think “they can solve everything on their own” are simply nationalistic and not patriotic because they “only think about themselves.”

She said: “Either you are one of those who believe they can solve everything on their own and only have to think about themselves. That is nationalism in its purest form.

“This is not patriotism. Because patriotism is if you include others in the German interest and accept win-win situations.”

Soros foundation takes aim at Facebook, calls for congressional oversight

The head of billionaire George Soros’ foundation called for congressional oversight of Facebook, after the social media giant finally took some responsibility for hiring a PR firm to smear its critics as agents of Soros.

“So @facebook decides to drop a turkey on Thanksgiving eve, with admission that Definers was tasked by company leadership to target and smear George Soros because he publicly criticized their out of control business model. Sorry, but this needs independent, congressional oversight,” Open Society Foundations head Patrick Gaspard tweeted on Wednesday night.

Screen Shot 2018-11-23 at 3.25.50 PM

Gaspard was responding to an admission by Facebook’s outgoing Head of Communications and Policy Elliot Schrage, who owned up top hiring a PR firm – Washington, DC-based Definers – to attack Facebook’s critics and label them agents of Soros, a billionaire and prominent liberal donor.

In a blog post, Schrage admitted that he tasked Definers with pushing the Soros angle, namely that the billionaire was funding the activist group ‘Freedom from Facebook.’

After learning that Soros did in fact fund some of the group’s members, Schrage said Definers “prepared documents and distributed these to the press to show that this was not simply a spontaneous grassroots movement.” Schrage maintained that Facebook did not ask Definers to create ‘fake news,’ despite a former employee telling NBC that Definers had its own “in-house fake news shop” to spread its message.

The relationship was revealed in an explosive New York Times report last week that accused Facebook’s senior leadership of mismanaging a multitude of scandals, from ‘Russian interference’ in the 2016 election to the Cambridge Analytica privacy debacle earlier this year.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg both denied any knowledge of the company’s hiring of Definers, despite an official statement describing the relationship between Facebook and Definers as “well known in the media.”

Soros’ associates have been relentless in calling for change at Facebook, even since before the New York Times’ story broke. In January, Soros himself called Facebook and other Silicon Valley tech “monopolies” a “menace” to society whose “days are numbered.” Last week, Michael Vachon, an adviser to the chair at Soros Fund Management, called on Facebook to undertake an audit of all of its lobbying and PR relationships.

Nor were they buying Zuckerberg’s protestations of innocence.

“I find it hard to believe that one would go after someone like George Soros…without some clearance at the highest levels,” Gaspard told CNN on Tuesday night.

Zuckerberg appears to be holding firm, though. In his own interview with CNN on Tuesday, the 34-year-old CEO issued his trademark style of meandering, deflective denial when host Laurie Segall asked if he knew anything about the affair.

“Well…uhh…I learned about this when I read the report as well…I don’t think this point was about a specific PR firm, it was about how we act. That’s why I think it’s not just important what we’re doing with this one firm, but that we go through and look at all of the different PR firms and folks we work with,” Zuckerberg replied.

After spending much of the year apologizing for one privacy screw-up after another, Zuckerberg is once again back in the spotlight. Despite falling stock prices, shareholder moves to oust him, and now Soros’ wealth and influence pushing against him, Zuckerberg was defiant.

Asked whether he’d ever step down as Facebook’s chairman – Zuckerberg is both chairman and CEO of the company – he replied “that’s not the plan.”

“There are certainly going to be issues that we need to work through over time,” Zuckerberg continued. “But I think that while we are doing that, we can’t lose sight of all of the really positive things that are happening here as well.”

Swedish government spent €1000 on rent per migrant – per day

By EMMA R. 23 November 2018

While tens of thousands of elderly Swedes are homeless, and over 300,000 pensioners are starving, the Swedish government spent €1000 a day on rent per migrant.

In 2015, Stockholm hosted a number of “unaccompanied refugee children”. Entrepreneurs requested up to €1000 in rent per migrant from the city, which did not protest, but with taxpayers’ money paid the price requested.

“Not a single child in Stockholm shall be homeless”, said Åsa Lindhagen, head of social services in Stockholm at the time.

“We shall not have any children living on the street, and when lots of children come here, our absolute top priority will be to ensure that they have a roof over their heads.”

Later medical age tests have shown that most of these “children” were in fact adults, who also lacked valid asylum reasons.

However, an amnesty law was recently approved in Parliament, which gives these men the right to stay in Sweden, despite earlier refusals, to attend a secondary education at the taxpayers’ expense.

€1000 per day per “unaccompanied minor” corresponds to a monthly rent of €30,000. For the whole country, the cost of the “unaccompanied minors” was €2.6 billion during 2015, which is almost as much as the annual cost for the police and the judiciary.

One night at the 5-star Grand Hotel costs from €200. Hostels in central Stockholm cost from €20 per night.

IEDs Found in London Flat Trigger Terrorism Probe, Arrest

Screen Shot 2018-11-23 at 2.46.20 PM

By Dan Lyman

UK police have launched a counter-terrorism investigation after two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were found in a flat in London.

Metropolitan Police say they have arrested a 48-year-old man “on suspicion of an offence contrary to section 4 Explosives Substances Act 1883,” and he currently remains in custody.

The suspect was apprehended after explosives were discovered in an unoccupied apartment that was in the process of being renovated in Craven Park neighborhood of London.

“Officers attended the address and as a precaution, the block of flats was evacuated and local road closures put in place whilst specialist officers assessed the two devices,” police said in a statement. “Initial assessment was that they were both improvised explosive devices.”

“The two devices were subsequently made safe and recovered from the flat and are now undergoing further forensic examination.”

Police say they do not have reason to believe the suspect “has links to any terrorist organizations,” but also assert the investigation is in its early stages.

WESTERN EUROPE Refugees disastrous for German welfare state as almost 50% are illiterate, top professor shows

See the source image

The idea that migrants or refugees are needed for maintaining production in western societies has received another blow.

The footage below shows that refugees say they want to be engineer or scientist and continue with a professor who says most refugees are highly qualified.

But after one minute, another professor, Hans-Werner Sinn, shows with several studies, that a lot of refugees can barely read or write and need tremendous amounts of education to get them to work.

See the source image

Sinn, a top professor and the former President of the Ifo Institute for Economic Research, shows that two-thirds of Syrian graduates in Syria qualify below the threshold of literacy; the ability to read and write.

According to the professor in economics Germany should ask the question “are the right people coming to us?”

“Are those people who come to us the ones that our complex industrialised society needs? Or do those people who come to us need considerable training and education? Which is very expensive.”

The professor gives a clear answer in his college and says for example that it is not efficient “when you take a 25 or 30-year-old and try to teach him basic Latin that would normally be taught at school age”?

Dog accused of ‘racist hate crime’ in bonkers Britain

By   

A dog has been accused of a racially aggravated hate crime after it fouled on the front of a property in the latest of bewildering incidents in Britain.

The so called ‘victim’ dialled 999 and said the dog had done this in a racist attack. It comes amid a spate of incidents including mail being ‘deliberately opened and resealed’, and another canine barking at a person in the street.

Current rules require police to record every incident regardless of the severity or in this case, idiocy. Former Conservative Brexit negotiator David Davis says such incidents are a waste of police time.

However, with police chiefs admitting they have over 900+ officers dedicated to fighting ‘hate’, many are questioning their priorities, in the midst of a surge in knife crime, acid attacks and theft. This, however, is not the first time police in the UK have been ridiculed.

Last week, police searched the homes and arrested men who had burnt a cardboard box supposedly representing the Grenfell tower fire, yet the men had in the eyes of the law commit no crime.

SOUTHERN EUROPE Italian Minister wants his migration decree to be approved as soon as possible

By   

Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini urges parliamentary approval of his security-and-migration decree.

“Everything will collapse” if not signed by the 3 December deadline. There will be big consequences if the migration decree is not approved by parliament before timing out.

League leader Salvini speaking at a presentation of a blood-donation initiative at the interior ministry said: “The security decree is necessary for the country and it’ll be approved by December 3 or everything will collapse”.

He has asked that parliament respect the 3 December deadline and further said, “I refuse to think that some people may want to turn backwards”.

FBI labels Proud Boys an ‘extremist group’

FBI labels Proud Boys an ‘extremist group’

Most commonly seen scrapping in the streets with Antifa, the Proud Boys have now been designated as an “extremist group with ties to white nationalism” by the FBI.

According to a document from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office in Washington state, the FBI has labeled the Proud Boys an extremist group, and “warned local law enforcement agencies that the Proud Boys are actively recruiting in the Pacific northwest.”

“Proud Boys members have contributed to the recent escalation of violence at political rallies held on college campuses, and in cities like Charlottesville, Virginia, Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington,” the report continued.

The report stemmed not from an investigation into the Proud Boys themselves, but from the association between a female Clark County deputy and the group, which was found to violate sheriff’s office policy. Antifa groups had circulated a picture of the deputy in a Proud Boys sweater, and threatened to reveal her personal details.

Capture

The FBI told The Guardian that it would not “directly address the designation,” adding that it “regularly assesses intelligence regarding possible threats” from a multitude of groups. Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes told the Gateway Pundit that he thinks “it’s just local cops trying to cover their asses if she sues” for being unfairly disciplined.

A fraternal organization, the Proud Boys was founded in 2016 by McInnes. Soon after, its uniform of a black and yellow Fred Perry polo shirt began showing up at protests and rallies across the country, including the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last August.

McInnes describes the Proud Boys as a ‘Western chauvinist’ group, made up of men who are unapologetically right-wing and opposed to feminism, political correctness and white guilt. McInnes has distanced himself from the alt-right as a movement, but the Southern Poverty Law Center still considers the organization a ‘hate group.’

Facebook and Instagram have banned accounts associated with the Proud Boys, and both Amazon and PayPal have cut ties with the group too.

The Proud Boys made headlines in October when some of its members brawled with Antifa militants outside a New York Republican event. Both sides pummeled each other after three Antifa members jumped a Proud Boy on his way out of the event. The NYPD arrested three people.

Earlier on this summer, video footage of a Proud Boy knocking out a baton-wielding Antifa protester at a riot in Portland, Oregon, went viral. The incident was one of many confrontations that have occurred between the right and left in Portland in recent months.

A loose collective that counts anti-Trump #resistance types and militant anarchists and communists among its members, Antifa’s street protests have been classed by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security as “domestic terrorist violence.”
