Abdir Isaak acquired a two-room flat in Biskopsgården in Gothenburg seven years ago. Not long after, his entire family moved from Somalia to Sweden.
Now eleven people, of whom nine are children aged 2 to 19 years old, all living in the same flat. Abdir says they are looking for a bigger flat somewhere in Gothenburg, preferably with four or five rooms, but have not found anything yet.
Buying a home is out of question because both he and his wife are unemployed since at least six years back.
The Moderate Party MP Hanif Bali recently commented on the family’s situation on Twitter. He questioned the fact that they despite overcrowding, still chose to have two more children.
“Why have you continued to squeeze out offsprings during these six years, when you are unemployed, lack adequate housing and obvious common sense?”, he wondered.
Bali also noted that after all, the family could afford a bigger flat, at least in the rental market. This thanks to the contributions that such a large family is entitled to – about SEK 40,000 (€4,000) – or SEK 50,000 (€5,000), if they manage to find a larger flat, according to Bali.
In a report by Hem & Hyra, Abdir was asked whether he and his wife were hesitant to have more children. Yes, of course we were. But what happened happened nonetheless, he replied.
Hungarian officials want an explanation from the European Commission regarding a scheme to provide prepaid bank cards to thousands of migrants currently pushing their way into Europe.
Infowars Europe was one of the first English-language media outlets to report revelations emerging from the Balkans, where shopkeepers and law enforcement officers claimed that migrants amassing in Bosnia were using nameless bank cards embossed with MasterCard, UNHCR, and EU logos.
The Hungarian goverment has apparently taken notice of these reports and is now demanding answers, contending that the program may be facilitating funding for terrorism.
“The ruling Fidesz and Christian Democrat parties have called on the European Commission to explain the reasoning behind prepaid debit cards issued to migrants,” the ruling coalition announced via state media outlet About Hungary.
“Earlier this week, Lajos Kósa, head of parliament’s defence and law enforcement committee, cited recent reports surrounding tens of thousands of prepaid debit cards made available to migrants by the European Commission and the United Nations Refugee Agency UNHCR.”
Coalition spokesman István Hollik says, “the EC should explain the origins of the cards, the amounts deposited on them, and the reasons why the scheme was kept in secret.”
“The cards are said to be funded by moneys from the EU, the UN and US financier George Soros . . . raising the question whether member states have agreed to a scheme like that.”
In our original report, we detailed Soros’ likely ties to the scheme upon discovery of a 2017 MasterCard press release publicizing the launch of a partnership program with Soros called “Humanity Ventures,” which aimed to “catalyze and accelerate economic and social development for vulnerable communities around the world, especially refugees and migrants.”
“George Soros announced that he is earmarking up to $500 million for private investments that will improve capacity to address the challenges that migrants, including refugees, and their host communities face around the world. Humanity Ventures would be part of that initiative,” Mastercard revealed in the release.
“Bank cards are also evidence of how the EU is destroying European culture?” tweeted Montenegran TV director Ninoslav Vucetic, including an image of the type of card aforementioned. “Inviting them with money to cause violence? Who gives migrants such a bank card in order to access cash, without the first and last names?”
The violence continues in #GanglandBritain A gang hack at a man with huge machetes & brutally attack him after knocking him to the floor in Birmingham. 2 men were arrested near the scene carrying a 3.5ft machete, a hammer & a mallet pic.twitter.com/jl0dwRXZza
West Midlands Police Force Response issued a strangely enthusiastic and self-congratulatory tweet punctuated with a ‘shaka emoji’ following the apprehension of two suspects in the brutal assault, also posting images of confiscated weapons.
“Fantastic teamwork by A Unit Newtown and [Aston Police] and the public (who called us initially), responding to a call of males brandishing a machete and hammers,” police wrote. “Arrived quickly on scene and detained the males after a chase. 2 in custody!”
A video of the Alternative for Sweden (AfS) party, was taken down by YouTube for ‘hate speech’. Youtube has now even threatened to remove the party’s entire user account, Sweden’sFria Tiderreports.
It was during Monday evening that the AfS’s party leader, Gustav Kasselstrand, published a video of the weekend’s Islamic terrorist attack in Paris, where one person was killed and several were injured.
Kasselstrand said, among other things, that he wants to expel all 2,000 Islamists. In just a few hours, the movie received thousands of views. But now YouTube has taken down the video, calling it “hate speech”.
“I see YouTube’s censorship and allegations of hate speech as a pure ‘quality stamp’ of my message. Nevertheless, it is problematic that, as a party leader for a fast-growing party in Sweden, I cannot convey my views on social media”, says Gustav Kasselstrand about the removed film.
Kasselstrand continues:
“The monopoly of social media giants gives private companies control over freedom of expression in social media, a platform that is so important that it can be seen as the equivalent of our time like the ancient forum.”
It is not the first time Kasselstrand was censored. Even his podcast “The cooked frog” was closed down last year from Soundcloud on arbitrary grounds, he says.
Theeventstook place in Santa Coloma de Gramenet in Catalonia two days ago. The young lady was travelling on the Metro with her boyfriend when the Moroccan “manada” (or wild herd, as the Spanish call sexually violent groups of men) started molesting her.
The youths followed the couple out of the train compartment and inserted themselves inside an elevator in the train station with them and proceeded to knife the young man as he defended his girlfriend, and violently sexually attack the young lady.
The group were arrested by the local police of Santa Coloma de Gramenet this past Sunday, November 11th, in the house they were squatting in.
As they were diagnosed with scabies, an infectious skin disease, the police have had to disinfect the vehicles in which they were transported and the police station itself.
Two of the 14 Moroccan youths captured were minors, and several of those involved had already been arrested a couple of times in recent days by local police for various violent robberies. The wounded young man, who had come out in defense of his girlfriend, is out of danger.
The municipal government has asked the Catalan government to address the situation urgently as these unaccompanied youths are dedicated to “committing different crimes and delinquencies, generating alarm and insecurity.” They have also asked for more policing of the zone.
There is virtually no mention of this immigrant crime in the mainstream media, and when there is, it is usually to ask for compassion and leniency for the sexual attackers.
There was none of that when another “manada”, this one composed of five Spanish men, were exposed two years ago. Then the Media spent weeks and weeks denouncing them as monsters.
The co-leader of opposition party Alternative for Germany (AfD) has lashed out at the German government and their stance on the UN Global Compact on Migration. He said his party he urges the government not to sign the document as it isn’t in the interest of the German people.
“If this Global Compact is just a political declaration, which has no consequences for the national parliaments and the law then why are we seeing resistance from everywhere on the rise against it, all of a sudden?” Gauland says.
According to the AfD leader, “The interests of the receiving society are left completely unmentioned” and “the document will supersede national law”.“We pledge to fulfil the goals mentioned in the global pact and obligations in accordance to our vision and our guiding principles”, it is so written there. The wording alone “we pledge” appears dozens of times in the paper, Gauland continues.
He adds that the document can lead to migrants being encouraged to come and claim benefits as a human right.
“For example we pledge, that all migrants notwithstanding their migration status are able to exercise their human rights through a safe entry to standard benefits. Less sensitive people call this migration into the social benefits systems.
“So the Federal Government wants to pledge itself to this. But of course non-binding. Non-binding obligations. Dear ladies and gentlemen, wooden steal. Dear ladies and gentlemen on the government bench: How stupid do you actually think we all are and your voters out there?”
Later Gauland says the migration pact will undermine sovereignty and lead to a renewed influx of migrants:
“The milestone this pact talks about lies in the way of the betrayal of sovereignty of our nation. Millions of people from crisis regions are encouraged to hit the trail.
“Left dreamers and globalist elites want to secretly transform our country from a national state into a settlement region.
African migrant Bismark B. has already been arrested 107 times by German police, but never received any punishment, tabloid B.Z. Berlinreports.
Due to the police’s inability the 59-year-old Ghanaian was allowed to run free again and again. This changed last year, as he became very violent.
The man stole food numerous times from a supermarket, employee Martina K. says:
“The man was a regular guest… He came three or four times a week for years and stole food.
“He ignored house bans, claimed he owned the business. He could take what he wanted. The choice of the accused always fell on the more expensive brand articles. He then recorded everything in a book he had brought with him.”
Meanwhile criminal proceedings against the criminal failed multiple times due to psychological diagnoses like paranoid schizophrenia.
But last year Bismark B. became violent. “He suddenly kicked me in the chest with his foot. Had not a customer stood behind me, I would have been beaten. He threatened to kill her,” the female supermarket employee says.
Fortunately the woman was helped by her colleague. “I just wanted to kick him out as always. There I saw the knife … He has never been so aggressive,” colleague Andreas H. says.
But after his arrest the migrant was released again. Yet his latest arrest led to a serious case as he threatened to kill a drug store employee with a meat cleaver.
Last Tuesday the case against Bismark B. started and it is to be decided if he belongs in a psychiatric clinic for being a danger to society.
As we’ve reported earlier, something is happening in Spain, a country with a mostly socialist tradition. The VOX political movement, a populist right-wing party, is gaining momentum and hasseen rapid growthin Spain.
“We stand for the same law-and-order and social conservative causes as Trump,”Santiago Abascal, the leader of the movement says in an interview.
To adopt Trump’s success and of the populist parties that are sweeping through Europe, Abascal has even consulted Trump’s former campaign strategist Steve Bannon.
By adopting Trump’s policies and consulting his former strategist, Vox could be aiming to become a Trump style party, with a Trump style leader.
Italy’s Interior Minister and leader of the largest party in the polls, Matteo Salvini, has already showed how that can work out really well.
According to the leader of Vox, Bannon’s advice was used to help setting up connections with related parties. An organisation like the Alliance of Conservatives and Reformists was used for that goal.
Spain, which has seen a change of government lately, is one of Europe’s new migrant hotspots. An import factor in that is the country’s socialist government implicitly invites migrants by offering welfare and even voting rights.
Like in most countries, the rise of the right comes with governments that ignore their citizen’s wishes. We will definitely hear more of Vox as it can even gain seats in the European Union’s parliamentary elections next year.
Slovenia is strengthening its southern border, deploying more armed patrols to combat an increasing flow of migrants through the Balkans, according to local media.
The tiny Central European nation, which lies at the frontier of the Schengen Area, is facing a potentially catastrophic situation as Hungarian and Austrian officials have issued warnings that tens of thousands of migrants are working to burst the borderbetween Bosnia and Croatia in an effort to invade the EU via Slovenia or Hungary.
Joint Croatian and Slovenian forces have carried out at least 635 border control missions this year, Il Giornale reports, but some practices have come under fire from left wing media and activists.
Slovenian newspaper Dnevnik recently publicized an internal police memo directing border guards to reject all migrants attempting to enter the country illegally, prompting open borders advocates to slam Ljubljana for violating the human rights of ‘asylum seekers.’
“The right to asylum is cancelled. This is what is happening at this time on the border between Slovenia and Croatia,”La Stampa reported. “The policemen from Ljubljana, who patrol along the anti-migrant barbed wire, were ordered in an internal circular, never made public but discovered by the newspaper Dnevnik, to repel refugees beyond the border, ie Croatia.”
Dnevik also reportedly released video of armed Slovenian border police repelling migrants and directing them to return to Croatia, sparking controversy.
Hungary recently announced the mobilization of 2,300 troops prepared to deploy to their southern border on short notice, warning that some 70,000 migrants have amassed in the Balkans and are preparing to swarm Europe.
Infowars Europe has been reporting extensively on the mounting crisis in the Balkans and will continue to monitor events as they unfold.
Without its nations, Europe would lose its spiritual and cultural identity, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said, addressing a European People’s Party (EPP) congress in Helsinki on Thursday.
“Europe will either be a Europe of nations or it will cease to exist,” Orban told the congress ahead of a vote on the lead candidate for the post of European Commission president. The “accession of central European nations have made Europe more peaceful, stronger and richer,” he said. The continent’s strength has always been based on strong nations, he said.
Orban accused the liberals, socialists and greens of wanting a rootless Europe devoid of its spiritual and psychological identity. “Our vision is a Europe with 27 faces, one that is Christian and democratic simultaneously,” he said.
Orban called the EPP “a party of victors” which preferred keeping its feet on the ground rather than championing world-redeeming ideologies. “By now, however, the situation has changed,” he said. Over the past few years, the EPP has given the leadership of Europe, so it has to take responsibility for “failure to keep Britain in the union and the migrants outside it.” While in 2011, sixteen member states were governed by EPP parties, now that number is down to six, he said. “No wonder our confidence has been shaken.”
“To return to the path to victory,” the EPP should restore its unity, find its roots again and proclaim the “renaissance of Christian democracy”, the prime minister said. “Absurdities like praising Fidel Castro or Karl Marx should be forgotten,” he added.
Orban warned that the EPP should not heed its adversaries and should not accept the standards of the left and the liberal media, he said.“If we try to live up to their expectations, we are doomed to fail,” he said.
The prime minister emphasized that the EPP should appreciate its successes.“Those who do not value their victors deserve failure,” he said. As the European elections are won in the member states, “the EPP as a victors’ party needs victorious prime ministers,” he said.
The key to success is to take the side of the people, Orban said. “Let’s protect them from illegal migration, terrorism, crime and economic hardship,” he said. “Let us once again put the old slogan on the banner: [a government] of the people, by the people, for the people.”
Orban said that ruling Fidesz backed Manfred Weber, EPP’s incumbent parliamentary leader, as lead candidate for EC president. He thanked Weber for visiting Hungary during its election campaign earlier this year.“We respect you as a man who knows when it is time for controversy and when for unity,”he said.
Orban noted that Friday will be the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. “We, the states thrown into the claws of the Soviet Union . knew that we can only regain our freedom in a united Europe,” he said. The Fidesz party was born in the fight for that reunification, in 1988, and invited to the European People’s Party by German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, “who understood that members of a family are always united, even if they disagree,” Orban said.
