Le Pen Could Win In France, Sweden's Immigration Problem,





Yes, Le Pen could win in France




With the polls narrowing and one of her main rivals embroiled in an expenses scandal, far-right leader Marine Le Pen could feasibly become French president in May, senior politicians and commentators say.
At the headquarters of her National Front (FN) party in Nanterre outside Paris, officials believe the same forces that led to the Brexit vote in Britain and Donald Trump's victory in the United States could carry Le Pen to power.
Even some of her rivals concede a victory for the far-right firebrand is possible.
"I think Madame Le Pen could be elected," former conservative prime minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin said this month.
Another former premier, the Socialist Manuel Valls, has also warned of the "danger" of assuming that Le Pen cannot win.
Polls show that support for the 48-year-old anti-immigrant and anti-EU candidate has been consistent for four years now.
Since 2013, surveys have shown she will progress through the first round to reach the runoff stage in France's two-stage presidential election.
Pollsters now note that although Le Pen is not currently forecast to win the all-important showdown on May 7, she has whittled down the projected gap between herself and her main challengers.







The Globe and Mail’s Margaret Wente has been doing a little research into how things are going with Sweden's left-lauded "welcoming" and "generous" immigrant policies. Her conclusion: "Not so well." At all. 
"In Sweden, where equality is revered, inequality is now entrenched," writes Wente. Citing staggering unemployment rates for immigrants, even after 15 years of living in the country, and skyrocketing welfare costs (58% of welfare payments go to immigrants, 16% of the population). 
Meanwhile, the population is getting increasingly bulkanized, with more and more immigrants uninterested in assimilating while now around a quarter of Swedes side with the country's anti-immigration party. 
Wente begins by highlighting stories of Middle Eastern refugees doing everything in their power to get to Sweden because of their touted reputation as Europe's most immigrant-friendly country, taking in "more refugees per capita than any other European country." Immigrants now make up 16% of the population, most of them from the Middle East and Africa. 
As most of Europe's leading countries appear to be trying to follow Sweden's lead, economist Tino Sanandaji, himself an immigrant, told Wente, warns that the "generous" country is facing some major problems, particularly when it comes to employment and crime 
Wente suggests that one of the reasons things have been allowed to get so bad is the failure of the "self-censorship" of the politically correct Swedish media:

The main political parties, as well as the mainstream media, support the status quo. Questioning the consensus is regarded as xenophobic and hateful. [...]
Sweden’s acute immigration problems scarcely feature in the mainstream media. Journalists see their mission as stopping racism, so they don’t report the bad news. Despite – or perhaps because of – this self-censorship, the gap between the opinion elites and the voters on immigration issues is now a chasm.
With the welfare budget quadrupling and the numbers living in "nice Swedish welfare ghettos" expanding, the media can't effectively hide the reality of the situation from the Swedish people. Now more than half (58%) of Swedes think the number of immigrants being allowed into the country is too high, with 20-25 percent of Swedes now supporting the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats party.







In Europe, refugees from Syria and Iraq have been cramming the ferry-trains heading from Germany to Denmark. But once in Denmark, many refused to get off. Where they really want to go is Sweden, where refugee policies are more generous. When the Danes said no, they hopped off the trains, and began heading toward the Swedish border by taxi, bus, and foot.

Sweden has the most welcoming asylum policies and most generous welfare programs in the European Union. One typical refugee, Natanael Haile, barely escaped drowning in the Mediterranean in 2013. But the folks back home in Eritrea don’t want to know about the perils of his journey. As he told The New York Times, they want to know about “his secondhand car, the government allowances he receives and his plans to find work as a welder once he finishes a two year language course.” As a registered refugee, he receives a monthly living allowance of more than $700 (U.S.).
Sweden’s generous immigration policies are essential to the image of a country that (like Canada) prides itself as a moral superpower. For the past 40 years, most of Sweden’s immigration has involved refugees and family reunification, so much so that the words “immigrant” and “refugee” are synonymous there (unlike in Canada).
Sweden takes in more refugees per capita than any other European country, and immigrants – mainly from the Middle East and Africa – now make up about 16 per cent of the population. The main political parties, as well as the mainstream media, support the status quo. Questioning the consensus is regarded as xenophobic and hateful. Now all of Europe is being urged to be as generous as Sweden.
Sweden’s fantasy is that if you socialize the children of immigrants and refugees correctly, they’ll grow up to be just like native Swedes. But it hasn’t worked out that way. Much of the second generation lives in nice Swedish welfare ghettos. The social strains – white flight, a general decline in trust – are growing worse. The immigrant-heavy city of Malmo, just across the bridge from Denmark, is an economic and social basket case.
Sweden’s generosity costs a fortune, at a time when economic growth is stagnant. The country now spends about $4-billion a year on settling new refugees – up from $1-billion a few years ago, Mr. Sanandaji said. And they keep coming. Sweden automatically accepts unaccompanied minors. “We used to take in 500 unaccompanied minors a year,” he said. “This year we are expecting 12,000.”

Yet Sweden’s acute immigration problems scarcely feature in the mainstream media. Journalists see their mission as stopping racism, so they don’t report the bad news.

Sweden is a cautionary tale for anyone who believes that Europe is capable of assimilating the hundreds of thousands of refugees and migrants who are besieging the continent, or the millions more who are desperately poised to follow in their wake. The argument that these people are vital to boost the economy – that they will magically create economic growth and bail the Europeans out of their demographic decline – is a fantasy.

It’s really very simple, Mr. Sanandaji explained. You can’t combine open borders with a welfare state. “If you’re offering generous welfare benefits to every citizen, and anyone can come and use these benefits, then a very large number of people will try to do that. And it’s just mathematically impossible for a small country like Sweden to fund those benefits.”








There has been a lot of speculation around the deaths of several Russian diplomats in the past few weeks. The Saker even wrote a piece that said, point blank, nothing to see here, move along.
Now, we hear from inside Russia there is something to see and it is tied to Ukraine. If you have not been following the situation in Ukraine it may be a good time to start paying attention. Ukraine is directly tied to Syria by way of oil and gas/oil pipelines – the ties-that-bind. 

This episode is taken off political analyst’s Valeriy Piakin’s channel – his explanation of recent events confirms what many have suspected. In the past few months, an unusual amount of individuals in pro-Russian fields of work have passed away. Starting with Arsen Pavlov (Motorola), a Commander in the Donbass region, followed by Russian Ambassadors to Turkey and India; Mikhail Tolstyh (Givi) – another high ranking Commander in the Donbass, and now – Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, Vitaly Churkin. Piakin’s explanation posits that all of these individuals were victims of US intelligence operations – but why?

The intention is to remove all individuals who have something to do with the Minsk agreement, so that it can no longer realistically be implemented. The Minsk Agreement (a ceasefire, followed by elections and self-determination in Eastern Ukraine) is counterproductive to the West. To allow Minsk to happen would be to undo all of elites’ hard work to date. This is why ”not fulfilling Minsk obligations” is always pinned on Russia in Western media – despite the fact it is not party to the document, and it is the Kiev junta who shells civilians of Eastern Ukraine.
If Piakin is correct, then everyone who defends Minsk – whether on the battlefield or through the information war – have reason to be concerned for their safety. People like Zakharchenko of the Donbass, and those below him, as well as Russia’s extended diplomatic community should be highly vigilant and ramp up their security against espionage.
















Mysterious Radioactivity Is Spreading: Europe And U.S.




Mysterious New Phenomenon "Radiation Clouds" May Be Bringing "Radioactive Rain" To America



The February 3rd story from New Scientist reports upon a newly discovered mysterious phenomenon that may pose a risk to air travelers: 'radiation clouds'. 'Danger zones' in the air where radiation levels surge to the point where they could pose an unrecognized health hazard, the NASA-funded Automated Radiation Measurements for Aerospace Safety (ARMAS) program which discovered these puzzling anomalies say they can't be blamed upon the 'usual suspects', cosmic rays or solar winds. 

Warning within their story that airliners may have to avoid these 'radiation clouds' in the future, we recently received an email from Steve Quayle in which he shared with us his own experience of flying through one of these 'radiation clouds' showing 25X the normal 'background radiation levels' at 35,000 feet as seen in the photo below. 

With even New Scientist admitting the existence of 'radiation clouds', we find it interesting that only days ago, Victurus Libertas reportedthat California and other parts of America might be getting hit by radioactive rain. 


The new story from ENENews reports that according to officials in Europe, the mysterious radiation cloud we reported about on ANP on February 23rd continues to spread with this additional warning: "This could indicate a leak from a nuclear plant". You can hear all about this spreading radiation cloud in the 2nd video below in which our videographer warns it continues to grow unchecked.


Back in 2011, the day after the massive earthquake hit Fukushima, Japan, the US Navy launched Operation Tomodachi, a humanitarian aid mission to Japan that turned deadly after the ships involved sailed through a deadly 'radiation plume' for several hours. At least 318 sailors aboard the USS Ronald Reagan and other ships have since joined a billion-dollar class action lawsuit against the Tokyo Electric Power Company, TEPCO, for jnjuries suffered due to their radiation exposure. Sadly, some of the sailors children born after Operation Tomodachi are also suffering from the effects of radiation exposure

On February 23rd ANP reported upon the very mysterious spike in radiation that appeared to originate near the Arctic Circle and had alarmed experts after it was first detected in northern Norway this past December and then had spread to several country's in Europe. The Drive asked in a story if there had been a nuclear incident in the Arctic after increased levels of radioactive iodine isotopes had been detected across Europe. And with 'Constant Phoenix' (the US Air Force's 'sniffer' plane) now deployed, the mystery has deepened even further.


As Greece's Tornos News reports, “Iodine-131 has recently been detected in tiny amounts in the ground-level atmosphere  during week 2 of January 2017 in northern Norway. Iodine-131 was also detected in Finland, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, France and Spain, until the end of January”.

What might be causing the increased levels of radiation detected across Europe? According to this new story from Survival Dan, he reports fears are growing of a North Korea nuclear strike after 42 missile tests and several nuclear bomb tests over the past several years. Warnings have also been given that Russia may have conducted a nuclear test, which they deny, as well as the theory that nuclear plants may be leaking. A dirty bomb is also a possibility though much less likely. 


While the answer to what is causing this mysterious radiation across Europe is still unknown at this time, the health effects of radiation are well known and can be deadly in a very short period of time if a person is exposed to 'too much' of it. While a very large amount of radiation exposure (acute exposure), can cause sickness or even death within hours or days, such acute exposures are extremely rareaccording to the EPA.








Jersey Evening Post, Feb 25, 2017 (emphasis added): Radioactive cloud could be heading our way— A CLOUD of mysterious radioactive particles floating across Europe… could enter Jersey airspace, Environmental Health have said… scientists have yet to work out where the radiation comes from… Caroline Maffia, assistant director of Environmental Health in Jersey, said the department was aware of the situation but 24-hour-a-day air monitors placed across the Island had not detected anything yet. CAPTION: ‘We are not picking up anything at this moment. We are slightly out of the way of where it seems to be going but depending on wind direction we could detect something here,’ said Ms Maffia.


The mysterious origin of the radioactive element has baffled authorities, some of whom claim its presence could indicateeither a secret Russian nuclear missile test launch, or a leak from a nuclear power plant. Iodine-131 has historical links to United States and Soviet nuclear tests… It has also been found among the radioactive contamination following Japan’s Fukushima reactor meltdown… The element is also commonly used in medicine… leading to speculation of a yet unidentified, or reported, leak at a pharmaceutical plant.









As individuals argue over how much government should be in the bathroom, nuclear environmental disasters are unfolding before our eyes. However, many Americans are too blinded by the blue glow of the television to notice.
According to a Missouri emergency plan recently distributed by St. Louis County officials, in recent months, a fire at the Bridgeton Landfill is closing in on a nuclear waste dump. The landfill fire has been burning for over five years, and they have been unable to contain it thus far.
There are clouds of smoke that have been billowing from the site, making the air in parts of St. Louis heavily polluted. In 2013, Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster sued Republic Services, the company responsible for the landfill, charging the company with neglecting the site and harming the local environment.
Last year, city officials became concerned that the fire may reach the nearby West Lake Landfill, which is littered with decades worth of nuclear waste from government projects and weapons manufacturing. Remnants from the Manhattan Project and the cold war have been stuffed there for generations. The site has been under the control of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since 1990, but they have not made any significant effort to clean up the waste.
In December of last year, the EPA announced that it would install a physical barrier in an effort to isolate the nuclear waste. But the timeline given by the EPA said it could take up to a year to complete. Residents aren’t comforted by that timetable, and think the government, despite years of warning, has done too little to stave off a possible environmental disaster. They are right.


To add to the legitimacy of the residents’ worries were about the government’s timeline, the ground has yet to be broken, the fire is still smoldering, and the EPA just finalized, on Thursday, an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent (Settlement) requiring Bridgeton Landfill, LLC to start work on the isolation barrier system at the West Lake Landfill Superfund Site.

Aside from the threat of the U.S. Military’s decades-old nuclear waste erupting into flames in the near future, there are also two nuclear reactors inside the United States, which have been leaking for months.
In Florida, a recent study commissioned by Miami-Dade County concluded that the area’s four-decades-old nuclear power plants at Turkey Point are leaking polluted water into Biscayne Bay.


This has raised alarm among county officials and environmentalists that the plant, which sits on the coastline, is polluting the bay’s surface waters and its fragile ecosystem, reports the NY Times. In the past two years, bay waters near the plant have had a large saltwater plume that is slowly moving toward wells several miles away that supply drinking water to millions of residents in Miami and the Florida Keys.

Samples taken during the study show everything from the deadly radioactive isotope, tritium, to elevated levels of salt, ammonia, and phosphorous. So far, according to the scientists conducting the study, the levels of tritium are too low to harm people. However, in December, and January, the levels were far higher than they should be in nearby ocean water which is a telling sign of a much larger underlying problem.

Fifteen hundred miles north of the leaking reactors in Florida is the Indian Point nuclear power plant in New York. Since the beginning of this year, there’s been an uncontrollable radioactive flow from the Indian Point nuclear power plant continues leaking into groundwater, which leads to the Hudson River, raising the specter of a Fukushima-like disaster only 25 miles from New York City.


The Indian Point nuclear plant is located on the Hudson River and serves the electrical needs of an estimated 2 million people. In January, while preparing a reactor for refueling, workers accidentally spilled some contaminated water, containing the radioactive hydrogen isotope tritium, causing a massive radiation spike in groundwater monitoring wells, with one well’s radioactivity increasing by as much as 65,000 percent.





The Soros-Papal Conspiracy And The New World Order, Fake Evangelicals Support Illegal Immigration, Neoliberalism: The Destroyer






NWV News -- The Soros-Papal Conspiracy: Pushing the U.S. to Accept the New World Order


Information gleaned from Julian Assange's WikiLeaks release of Hillary Clinton's campaign manager John Podesta's emails and DCLeaks documents from George Soros’ own Open Society Foundation corroborate that Soros' private intelligence agents/detectives secretly meeting with top Vatican cardinals, according to the documents.

For example, while preparing for a Papal visit to North and South Americas, the Pope's minions working in the Vatican went out of their way to get cozy with what's commonly called the radical fringe of the U.S. Democratic Party.

"Basically, from what we've gleaned from the Wikileaks and DCLeaks material, the Pope is actually colluding with one of the world's wealthiest -- some say wickedest -- neo-Socialist who is hell bent in creating a single ruling entity for the entire planet. His vision dwarfs even the world described by George Orwell in his cautionary tale 1984," claims political consultant and attorney Michael Baker.

Baker believes that of all the pontiffs sitting on the Vatican throne Pope Francis is the closest to an irreligious Marxist by far. "The fact is our Pope is from South America, which is arguably a hotbed of Marxism, neo-Socialism and totalitarian communism. It gave this Pope a different perspective from those coming from European nations," Baker noted.

DCLeaks documents lifted from Soros’ Open Society exposed the more than half-million dollars Soros forked over to PACO, a radical organization of community organizers, for travel and lodging for Vatican strategy meetings in anticipation of the 2016 election. Despite the fact that Trump holds tightly to the pro-life philosophy -- and in fact, he was endorsed by many Protestant clergy men and women including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s niece Alveda King -- the Catholic Church and its U.S. members appear enthralled by the likes of Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Sen. Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren, all of whom support partial-birth abortions.

Within weeks of the new Francis papacy, Jeffrey Sachs -- a longtime George Soros associate and adviser -- who is on record taking $50 million of Soros $40 billion treasure-trove, was invited to and featured as the Pope's leading expert on the far-left's climate change agenda.

WikiLeaks pulls back the curtain on the radicals entrenched in the Francis papacy. The PICO Vatican meeting was not simply a brisk cursory papal meet and greet. Rather, documents reveal that Alinsky activists were invited, welcomed, and dined in intense strategy sessions with high level Vatican cardinals. The leaked emails expose the leftist political machinations behind the Francis papacy, where the Soros-funded community organizers coordinated radical messaging with high level papal cardinal confidantes.

In a letter, which is dated February 10, Pope Francis publicly praises the organization PICO — People Improving Communities through Organizing — which was one of the promoters of this Vatican event.

What Pope Francis does not mention is that PICO is heavily funded by George Soros. A leftist watchdog website describes PICO as a group that “uses [Saul] Alinsky-style organizing tactics to advance the doctrines of the religious left.” As John-Henry Westen, editor-in-chief of LifeSiteNews reported in August, leaks from the Soros Foundation have shown how Soros funded PICO and other organizations in order to influence the Vatican in favor of certain policies and agendas. Westen reports.









We live in an era of fake news which meddles with our minds. But worse, we also have fake preachers who meddle with our very souls. That is Satan’s most dedicated tactic. To destroy the soul is to destroy the man. This is why the evil one has managed to infiltrate our churches, precisely to turn people off to church, ministers and especially….God.

A full page ad in The Washington Post, Wednesday a week ago, included the signatures of over 500 evangelical pastors urging President Donald Trump to reverse his ban on refugee resettlement. A couple of the signers on that list shocked me. You will see the entire list below. Those ‘evangelicals’ seem to be suffering a deplorable lack of reasoning.


The organizer of the group letter is (another shock) the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), and one of the nine agencies that, now get this, resettle refugees in America. Notice that last part of the sentence….that resettle refugees in America. Doesn’t that sound like a line from a grant proposal? You bet it does. And that is precisely what this is all about.

However, there is a small group of real pastors like Franklin Graham who are among the Remnant Pastors who are there for one purpose only, to preach the Gospel, not to enrich themselves with grants and other payola. He is joined by the National Religious Broadcaster’s Jerry Johnson and the Center for Law and Justice’s Jay Sekulow, who have spoken out, with clear heads, in defense of President Trump’s plan to protect our country.

There are those who genuinely are, as the Wizard of Oz stated, “good deed doers.” Doing good for the sake of good. Then there are the do-gooders, who display themselves as good people by pushing favors upon others in order to make themselves look good and compassionate. Then there are those who camouflage their intentions by making it sound like a genuine humanitarian effort put together by caring people with a heart–as propagated by  the fake news media, FNM.


That’s what they want to convey…you can BANK on that-which is exactly what this do-gooder-for- profit relig-biz intends to do…bank on refugee re-settlement with the grant money they receive, enriching themselves personally while putting the rest of the United States in peril.

Let’s take another look at the religious groups competing for these grants: The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services, World Relief, Church World Services, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, Episcopal Migration Ministries, the International Rescue Committee, and the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants.
Now here’s where it all meshes:  When these groups send out their news releases making their case for more immigration, they fail to mention that they receive $2,050 for each ‘refugee’ they re-settle. But that is just a tiny part of the grants received for bringing in these people.

But it gets even worseAll these religious groups must sign a federal waiver stating that they will not attempt to share the Gospel with the “refugees.”  WHAT??? And preachers sign this?

These fake preacher creatures have sold the message of Jesus for mammon. That’s right, for money. When some of these refugees try to kill you, and they will, don’t expect God to protect you. You sold that protection by agreeing to NOT share the Gospel with the immigrants. Satan has bought you out. So when calamity strikes you, don’t yell, “Where’s God? Why did this happen?”
ANSWER: You have forfeited any protection and favor from God since money was more important to you than preaching the Gospel. You actually sold out God and lost your soul in the process.
Did you know that the U.S. Government has paid out over $1 Billion (with a B) to refugees as Social Security Benefits since (at least), 22,426 recipients have no Social Security Number?
And did you know that each of these imposing immigrants who crash through our borders receive $1700 a month for welfare? They also get housing, food stamps, medical expenses and educational costs?
MEANWHILE, a veteran who has fought in two wars and was awarded medals receives $1200.00 a month. Isn’t there something wrong with this picture?








Robert Gehl reports the environmental activists protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline have created such an “ecological disaster” at their protest camp that the North Dakota governor has ordered an emergency evacuation.
When thousands of protesters gathered at the Oceti Sakowin camp to protest the pipeline left in December, they left behind enough trash to fill up 2,500 pickup trucks, LifeZette is reporting.
The activists were there for months, first arriving in April to protest the pipeline’s construction. Their objection that a peak or spill could contaminate nearby waterways. But it appears their own protests have jeopardized the environment far more than any pipeline.
“With the amount of people that have been out there and the amount of estimated waste and trash out there, there is a good chance it will end up in the river if it is not cleaned up,” U.S. Army Corps of Engineers spokesman Capt. Ryan Hignight told the Spokesman Review. Garbage ranges from trash to building debris to human waste, according to Morton County Emergency Manager Tom Doering. There are also hundreds of abandoned cars at the site.
“There are roughly 200 vehicles down there at last count, ranging from cars and pickups to rental trucks,” George Kuntz, vice president of the North Dakota Towing Association, said in an interview with Western Wire.
“We’re going to have a very drastic situation trying to keep these vehicles from getting into the river — what everybody’s been trying to protect from Day One,” he said.
Kuntz said he’s disappointed at the way environmental activists treated the land during the protest. “How do you just totally destroy something? How do you not care about something that you are here saying that you care about?” he said. Most of the damage was caused by “out-of-state people,” Kuntz said, referring to protestors recruited by national activist groups.
The sheer hypocrisy of all this is breathtaking. Thousands of activists – most from out of state, many who are professional “agitators” with criminal records descend on the site of a proposed pipeline to protest the environmental damage a pipeline can cause, leaving behind garbage, filth and human waste so bad it threatens to create an “ecological disaster.”
People who live in the area are begging these out-of-state protesters to return and pick up their abandoned cars and clean up their garbage before the snowpack melts and the rivers are contaminated.
But don’t expect anyone to come back. They’re on to the next staged protest to cause as much damage and disruption as possible.







There's a cold war raging. 
No, not the one between the US and Russia. That’s old news.
We're talking about the NEW cold war: the one for the soul of the West.
On one corner we have the globalists, basically political and financial elites who after the disasters of World War II decided that eliminating borders was the way to ensure a peaceful future. Increasingly diverse (multicultural) societies would now be governed by supranational institutions, the only way to confront problems that are global in nature: environmentalism, terrorism, epidemics, consumerism and so forth. And much of this has become mainstream, with the powerful backing of the liberal media, the entertainment industry, much of academia and influential think tanks.

On the other corner we have the nationalists (also known as patriots, populists, and deplorables). They took a good look at the downsides of that brave new (open) world and said to heck with its ongoing destruction of national identities, borders, traditional cultures and religion, and constant foreign military interventions especially when they are incapable of protecting their own borders from mass immigration.
There is no question that 2016 was a pivotal year in this struggle, which is now playing out in the open.
First the British voted to pull out of the European Union, against all odds. Then the Americans elected a brash Republican outsider for President, also against ‎all odds.
After ceding cultural and political terrain for decades, the nationalists seem to be making a comeback. And now the cracks within Western countries are visible for anyone to see.

So what can be done about this?
Well, since everyone seems so keen in implementing a two-state ‎solution in the Israel-Palestine conflict, why not do the same across the West?
With one key difference: these two “states” would remain formally linked through a very limited federal/national government. Mainland Chinese public officials even have a name for it: one country, two systems.
If people in New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Oregon and California want to become openly multicultural and consistently vote accordingly, why stop them? Let them welcome anybody they want and implement whatever education system, gender identifications and values they desire. Good for them. Provided of course that all this should be funded strictly by their own state and local taxes, which is only fair (no doubt very rich globalists like George Soros, Bill Gates and Richard Branson will gladly pitch in).
On the other hand, if Texas and all others in flyover country believe they are entitled to bear arms, speak however they like in one language only, promote their values and culture and fully decide on who can live in their communities, what’s wrong with that? If you long to hear church bells on Sunday morning, sing the national anthem and use gender-segregated bathrooms you can always visit or move to those communities.







The EU is artificial and unnecessary 
What is the EU? The EU is a government looking for people to govern. It didn’t evolve organically from a community’s desire to be governed. It was an elitist ideological hobby project ― one that European Commission first Vice-President Frans Timmermans a few weeks ago referred to as:


arguably the most successful peace project in human history.



The EU is not a peace project
This, however, is a deception. A deception so pervasive, it has become the most pivotal element of the Eurocrats’ belief system. But the EU is no peace project. It neither caused nor consolidated peace.
True peace is being able to hurt one another, but simply not wanting to. In 1945, after centuries of conflict, European nation states finally reached this status. Subsequently, the European Economic Community (EEC) consolidated this peace in 1958 by entangling the French and German economies.
The EU came afterwards, without there ever being an actual need for it ― the continent was peaceful and that peace was consolidated.
So, inadvertently, the image below by everyone’s favourite federal high priest, says absolutely nothing about the EU, but everything about the EEC.

Because the EU is a highly artificial and non-organic governing body, one without a fundamental raison d’être, the EU’s priority objective, at all times, is self-preservation. Even when this means not solving problems at all.


The euro and migration crises serve as prime examples. The EU is not only not solving the euro crisis, it’s prolonging it by insisting fiscally dysfunctional member states remain member states, simply because their ejection from the EU would endanger and obscure the EU itself.
The same is true for the migration crisis. It’s not hard to solve. To simply stop being a ferry service for human traffickers and implement the very straight forward Australian model, is hardly rocket science. It’s no coincidence Australia’s migration architect claims Europe doesn’t even seem to be trying to solve this crisis.
In 2016, 490,547 migrants reached Europe. The total number of asylum applicants is almost 2.5 times higher at 1.205 million, which is a modest drop from 2015’s 1.323 million. During the first months of 2017, almost 13.000 arrived by sea.
So what is the EU’s priority during the migrant crisis?
Instead, the EU’s highest priority seems to be preventing nation states from bypassing the EU, by taking their own measures against the crisis.
For if that were to happen, the EU would lose its ‘greatest achievement’: the federal control of European national borders, without which, the EU is nothing.







A little over a week ago, Bill O’Reilly of The O’Reilly Factor on Fox News slammed the twisted reporting of the deportation of illegal immigrants who were convicted felons, showing how the media portrayed them as innocent “maids, moms, and shopkeepers.” He said that this exemplifies how the media coverage of President Trump is beyond biased; it is “blatant dishonesty.” Mr. O’Reilly, whose program is “routinely the highest-rated show of the three major US 24-hour cable news television channels,” concluded the item declaring, “There is a radical element [the radical left] in this country that wants to destroy it. If this continues, there will be a breaking point.”

As harsh as this threat sounds, judging by the relentless attempts of the Democrats to sabotage Trump’s efforts to man key positions, the media’s slew of warped and made up stories purporting to prove the president’s incompetence, through the army of on-the-ground agitators that Obama’s Organizing for Action has dispatched in order to disrupt every town-hall meeting in the country and create the pretense that the nation is with the Democrats, it seems that there is indeed a war against the president on multiple fronts.


 Liberalism has been the sole “legitimate” agenda for decades now, but instead of using it to create a vibrant arena of views that invigorate one another, it has become a stifling mechanism by which anyone who contradicts what the media deems true is shamed and bullied. If business people such as Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank feel that they must apologize for stating their honest, very mildly conservative views for fear of losing business, this is no longer liberalism and certainly not pluralism. This is tyranny. Beneath a guise of free speech, America has become a fascist country, where only one view is permitted.

But if “absolute power corrupts absolutely,” then this is to be expected. “The inclination of man's heart is evil from his youth” (Gen 8:21) is not merely a verse from the Torah. It is who we all are. This is why rulers need the media to monitor them, and why the media needs to be kept genuinely free and pluralistic.


Neoliberalism, which has destroyed Europe through immigration, and nearly destroyed the US by eliminating its middle class, has been the sole ruling agenda in the US for decades. It serves the interests of the small elite group of magnates who control the American economy, the media, and thereby the government, all the way up to the White House. They determine what is reported and what is not, who is defamed and who is glorified. By controlling the media, they have dominated public discourse, public opinion, and have avoided criticism. This is ingenious, but deadly to society.

Their best interest is not the best interest of the American people. They aspire for world domination. Through proxies such as Obama and Clinton, they “removed” Arab leaders such as Muammar Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, and Bashar Assad, destroyed their countries, and created an influx of migrants into Europe. It is not that these Middle Eastern tyrants are or ever were anything to admire, but if you look at Iraq, Libya, and Syria today, would it not have been better for their people if their tyrants had remained in place, rather than the ruin, death, hunger, and terrorism that is their daily reality today?

If the people driving the “liberal” agenda in Europe maintain control over their governments, it will not be long before Europe accepts Sharia law. As this sad story of a forced child marriage shows, this is already happening, but it will spread much faster if they succeed.

And what they have done to Europe, they will continue in America: This same group will allow unchecked influx of migrants into the US, who will drain the already overstretched welfare system, create an impossible conflict of cultures and faiths, which will result in extremism and subsequent bloodshed on both sides. And all this will be done in the name of liberal thinking, pluralism, humanism, and democracy.
