CULTURAL ENRICHMENT: UK Muslim Rape Gang Charged With Trafficking White Girls.
Six men, five of which are from Muslim backgrounds, have been charged with the sexual exploitation, trafficking and rape of underage white girls in the town of Rochdale, Northern England.
The charges relate to offences allegedly committed between 2004 and 2008 against three girls aged between 14 and 16 at the time.
UM: This Is The Cartoon Germany Hands Out To Sexually Frustrated Refugees.
The Local reports that “in Bavaria, swimming pools have issued leaflets with simple pictorial instructions on behaviour for migrants who may never have swum in public before.”
Officials dreamed up the leaflets in 2013 after witnessing an increasing number of “problems” at the city’s 18 public swimming pools.
“The ground rule of respect for women – whatever clothing they’re wearing – is unfortunately not respected by all our swimmers. That’s why there is an explicit indication about it,” a Munich city spokesman said.
The “explicit indication” the spokesman mentions is a slightly creepy first-person view of a hand reaching out to touch the behind of an unsuspecting female swimmer.

BACKWARDS ASSIMILATION: Mayor of Cologne condemned for urging women to ‘keep men at arm’s length’ in new code of conduct to prevent assaults.
In an interview with RP Online, Ms Reker said: “It is important to prevent such incidents from ever happening again.”
The proposed code of conduct includes staying an arm’s length away from strangers, remaining within your own group, and asking bystanders for intervene or to help as a witness.
Such a code for young women and girls was designed “so that such things do not happen to them,” said Ms Reker, who added that it would soon be available online.

A school located in Pocking, Bavaria sent a letter to parents advising them of new “security measures” after a migrant shelter was opened at the school’s nearby gym.
Parents were warned that their children should not wear revealing clothes for fear of “misunderstandings” that could lead to “attacks” by the migrants.
Children were also told that “derogatory or racial remarks” would not be tolerated.
CULTURAL ENRICHMENT: Germany: “I can’t take it anymore,” says anonymous female asylum worker. (Source: Die Welt.) Google translation:
The collaboration with 90 percent of those whom I meet is rather unpleasant . . .
First, many of them are extremely demanding. They . . . demand . . . an apartment and a fancy car . . . If I . . . try to explain to them that these demands are not immediately possible to fulfill, then they are often noisy and sometimes very aggressive. . . . To an originally Arab colleague of mine they have at times yelled “We will behead you!” . . .
Second, they often give very unreliable information. . . . For example, a resident . . . came with his deportation notice . . . Soon after he came to my colleague and suddenly showed completely new identity documents with a different name . . . He . . . moved to another camp.
Third, they rarely stick to agreements. . . . I make appointments for them, but often they just do not show up. . . .
And fourth, . . . some of the refugees behave belligerently . . . towards women. . . . Primarily single men . . . come to us, about 65 percent or even 70 percent . . . They are all still young, only around 20 . . . It has even become worse . . . as more and more men from North Africa, from Morocco, Tunisia or Libya have come . . . They were even more aggressive. . . . I have started to change my appearance. . . . I put on loose-fitting pants and exclusively high-necked tops. Makeup I use very little anyway . . . Usually I stay in my little office, if possible, all during the day. And I no longer take the train to work and back–because recently a colleague was followed by some of the young men to the metro station and even molested in the train. . . . What would be the alternative then? . . . Of the officials I expect no great help.

Taharrush, also known by the longer name taharrush gamea, has been particularly prevalent in Egypt, where large gangs of men assaulted female journalists during protests in Tahrir Square.
The concept was previously obscure but is now gaining momentum in the German media – and across Europe – as a key way of explaining why so many men thought it was fine to commit mass sexual assaults.
Major German news websites have already begun using the term in headlines.

“For such a horde of people to meet and commit such crimes, it has to have been planned somehow,” Heiko Maas, the federal justice minister and a social democrat told Bild am Sonntag.
“No one can tell me that this was not co-ordinated or planned.”
Police began examining internet forums and chat groups last week on the working assumption that it is unlikely hundreds men just met by accident. Pieces of paper have since been found on some of the suspects, with Arabic and German translations of phrases such as “big tits” and “I want to f*ck”, indicating a degree of planning.
STRANGERS in their own country:
[Sam] Francis explained that the real political division in the United States was therefore neither liberal vs. conservative nor North vs. South. As he wrote in Chronicles in February, 1998:
Today, the main political line of division in the United States is . . . between elite and nonelite. . . . [F]or the last 15 years, the elite, based in Washington, New York, and a few large metropolises, allies with the underclass against Middle Americans, who pay the taxes, do the work, fight the wars, suffer the crime, and endure their own political and cultural dispossession at the hands of the elite and its underclass vanguard. . . .
In November, Reuters released a poll showing that over half of Americans feel like “strangers in their own country” and that 58 percent “don’t identify with what America has become.” Who can blame them?
Black Lives Matter hoaxes, SJW witch hunts, race riots, rising crime, mass Third-World immigration, repression on college campuses, “white privilege” indoctrination in schools, and political leaders from both parties who insist on importing thousands of Muslim “refugees” even in the wake of terrorist attacks do not inspire confidence.
It is therefore no surprise that the one candidate who defies the establishment on immigration, Muslim refugees, trade policy, and political correctness is destroying the field in the GOP primary.

JARED TAYLOR: Donald Trump, White Supremacism, And The Insanity Of The Washington Post.
As I like to ask, what do you call a black person who prefers black culture and prefers to live and hang out with other black people? A black person. It’s the ones who don’t prefer black culture etc. who are called names like “Oreo.” It’s the same with Hispanics. “Coconut” is not a compliment.
But as soon as a white man says he prefers white people and European culture then you need a swear word for him. If you’ve been talked out of “supremacist” you go with “nationalist”—because it has the bomb-throwing aroma of Basque or Kurdish nationalism. . . .
Why ask a sworn enemy what he thinks I think? Lyndon Johnson hated Robert Kennedy, but newsmen didn’t check in with Johnson every time they interviewed Kennedy. No one thinks he’ll get the straight dope on Benjamin Netanyahu from Yasser Arafat’s wife. What’s with this fetish for ringing up Mark Potok every time you interview someone he doesn’t like?
But, as I predicted to Mr. Holley: “Your editor won’t let you write a story about me unless to talk to the SPLC.” and, of course, I was right.
MUGGED BY REALITY: Massive Shifts After Cologne: Only 15% Believe Germany Should Take More Migrants.
According to a poll conducted by INSA for the Bild tabloid (g, paywalled) the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany party is now Germany’s third-largest party, getting 11.5% of the vote. This means they’re ahead of the Greens, the Left, and the Free Democrats. The Social Democrats and center-right (35%) each lost a point, and the SPD is now at only 21.5%.
61% of Germans said that the events in Cologne changed their view of the migrant situation. When it comes to Merkel’s slogan: We can do it! (Wir schaffen das), only 29% believe Germany can successfully integrate the migrants who arrived in 2015. 66% believe it cannot.
Only 15% believe Germany should take in more migrants. This may be the most important number.

ANN CORCORAN: CIS study: UN is choosing who will be NEW Americans!
You have heard me say for years that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees is choosing the refugees arriving in your American towns. Now, Nayla Rush at the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, DC has done her homework and explains how the process works. . . .
What is not common knowledge is that we are also giving another group of people a delicate assignment to accomplish within the refugee resettlement program. Whether this is being accomplished successfully is open to question.
The United States is entrusting the staff of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) with the entire selection and pre-screening process of Syrian refugees eligible for resettlement in the United States.
Corcoran adds, “By the way, if you are in one of those early primary states, try to bring the refugee issue up every time you have an opportunity to meet or hear from one of the 2016 Presidential candidates.”
CULTURAL ENRICHMENT: Dutch Journalists Attacked In Calais Migrant Camp, No-Borders Activists Say Not To Post Video Online.
Photographer, and victim of the attack, Teun Voeten also posted the footage on Facebook to the group “Calais Migrant Solidarity (no borders),” and was met with comments urging him to remove the footage.
One comment went as far to say, “You are not doing yourself a favour by putting it online as I think this is not what you came for to Calais…” while another added: “In the wrong hands this footage could be used irresponsibly”. . . .
The post has since been removed from the Facebook group, but not before back ups were made . . .
The organisation responsible for the social media page – Calais Migrant Solidarity – is part of the No Borders Network which campaigns for the removal of national borders and for an end of deportation of illegal migrants.

WHITEY NEED NOT APPLY: “Diversity” means fewer white people.
I was skimming the want ads on Monster or a similar site and I kept seeing some version of “minorities and women are encouraged to apply” . . .
I asked if the position was open to white men. . . . I got back a nice reply from some woman explaining to me that as part of their diversity programs they would be looking for a “well-qualified” minority applicant. . . .
I thought about that when I read this story linked on Drudge. . . .
CBS Entertainment president Glenn Geller revealed Tuesday that the network’s reimagining of [Nancy Drew] will be diverse.
“She is diverse, that is the way she is written” . . . Geller said it was too early in the process to explain just what he meant by diverse — whether Nancy is African-American, Asian-American or Latino . . . “[She will] not [be] Caucasian,” he stressed. “I’d be open to any ethnicity.” . . .
It was only a matter of time before white women joined the ranks of the unwanted. The phony-baloney rape hoax culture at colleges hilariously ignores assaults by black guys on white women. In fact, those are covered up because black trumps white, regardless of the sex involved. We’re seeing that in Europe where the elites are throwing a rape-a-paloosa so European girls can be assaulted by Arabs.

GERMANY: An interview with a Czech guard of a migrant camp in Dachau.
The Germans are insane, they do not detain anyone, the migrants have free movement not just in the camp, but they can go into town, actually, all over Germany. It is not unusual for Taxis to go off to somewhere or to be returning from places. How the German Secret Service deals with this and ensures that no terrorists are among them remains a mystery to me.
The daily routine is not in any way organized. 9-10:30 breakfast, 13:30-15:00 lunch, 17:30-19:00 dinner; in the times between these, there are usually German language classes or other free time activities. Charity officials, city officials and even [officials] from other institutions work there. They organize various sports or cultural events for them. Otherwise, they do absolutely whatever they wish, there is no [mandatory] wake-up call nor an evening curfew.
WAKING UP: Poll: Germans increasingly skeptical of refugees. “A rising number of Germans believe the country cannot handle the massive influx of refugees, are concerned of rising crime and a threat to their culture, and question Chancellor Angela Merkel’s policies, according to a poll by public broadcaster ZDF published on Friday.”
For the first time, a majority of Germans say the country cannot manage the influx of asylum seekers, compared to 46 in December. Meanwhile, only 37 percent find the crisis manageable. . . .
Nearly one-third of respondents [say] the [New Year’s Eve] attacks had an impact on their opinion of refugees. . . .
A vast majority of 70 percent of respondents expect crime to rise due to a large increase in refugees, compared to 62 percent with the same view when asked in October. Only 27 percent do not expect crime to rise.
Meanwhile, 73 percent of respondents believe laws and procedures for deporting asylum seekers who commit crimes should be strengthened . . .
Furthermore, compared to 33 percent of respondents in October saying that refugees represent a threat to German culture and societal values, 42 percent now believe so. That compares to 52 percent of Germans who do not view refugees as a threat. . . .
Compared to 49 percent in December, 56 percent of respondents now say that they do not believe Merkel is doing a good job handling the refugee crisis.

The men suspected of attacking women in Cologne on New Year’s Eve were “almost exclusively” from a migration background, mainly North African and Arab, an official report says.
Cologne police also made “serious mistakes” in not calling reinforcements and the way they informed the public.
More than 500 criminal complaints were filed, 40% alleging sexual assault.
ARE GERMANS wising up? Summary: “62% of Germans now say the number of asylum seekers is too high, up from 53% in November – driven mainly by the hardening attitudes of women.”
New research by YouGov in Germany for the Bild newspaper reveals a sharp hardening of attitudes to immigration following the attacks in Cologne.
On November 20 a slim majority of 53% said the number of asylum seekers in Germany was already too high, however 42% said the current numbers were acceptable (22%) or that Germany could even accept more (21%). Now however, fully 62% say the number of asylum seekers is too high, while only one in three say the current numbers are acceptable (16%) or could be higher (18%).
German women are now more likely than men to say the number of asylum seekers in Germany is already too high (63% and 60% respectively) – which had not previously been the case – and the hardening of women’s attitudes by 12 points is the main driver for Germany’s now-strong resistance to immigration.
CULTURAL ENRICHMENT: Police heap pressure on Canadian crime family by seizing $1.4M in properties.
The 2014 arrest of Alkhalil and eight others in Project Anarchy was announced with great zeal; it is the largest criminal probe the Ottawa police have undertaken. Called “a pre-emptive strike” to avert a gang war, police seized 24.5 kilograms of cocaine with an estimated street value of $12.5 million and four guns.
Six of the nine arrested have since pleaded guilty and received sentences ranging from six to 10 years in prison. . . .
This asset probe — called Project Attar — picked up where the criminal probe left off, calling in forensic accountants to analyze business records and trace how money was made and where it went.
Notably,
The Alkhalil family moved to Ontario and Quebec from British Columbia after years of violence and bloodshed.
Their family arrived in Canada from Saudi Arabia as refugees in 1990 — although their roots are believed to be in Iran — and settled in Surrey, B.C.

The psychologist who knew of what had happened in Kungsträdgården contacted journalist Hanne Kjöller at Dagens Nyheter . . .
“She was very interested and listened until I told her that all the boys and men that were apprehended were young asylants . . . from Afghanistan and Syria. I sensed that she changed the tone (of her voice). But she also said that she would contact the police” . . .
Kjöller got the phone number to one of the police officers who were on duty during the event . . .
The police officer, who has worked as a police officer for over 20 years, emphatically states several times that the events in Kungsträdgården were systematic and extensive in number. This was what he wanted to tell Hanne Kjöller . . .
“Hanne Kjöller contacted me again yesterday because of the events in Germany, she said it gave her a bad feeling. She was fidgeting when I asked her why she never contacted the police and never wrote an article”, says the psychologist. . . .
Kjöller over the phone told him that “the editor for the Stockholm section of Dagens Nyheter had taken charge of the case herself, and (the editor) considered the story to be “SD fabrications” (SD, or Sweden Democrats, are a populist anti-migration party that for a long time has been at odds with Swedish mainstream media).
“She (Kjöller) said that her editor had used the term ‘SD fabrications’ or ‘SD falsifications’, something like that. I remember that detail specifically”, says the psychologist.

EUROPE “on the verge of civil war” – Swiss army chief’s urgent warning.
Lieutenant-General André Blattmann has issued a warning to the Swiss people that society is dangerously close to collapse and advised those not already armed as part of the Swiss Army reserve to take steps to arm themselves. Blattmann has been head of the Armed Forces since, 1 March 2009 and his words carry very significant weight in a country in which several Citizens’ Initiative referenda against burqas and mosques have proven enormously popular as concerns grow about immigration and Islamisation. . . .
The Lieutenant-General’s warning echoes that of [British Royal Navy] Rear Admiral Chris Parry in 2006, when he said that the combination of immigration and Islam would cause “a civilisational collapse on a par with the fall of the Roman Empire”.
At the time, Parry was quizzed by hostile journalists but stuck to his guns.

The Falklands veteran said his warnings were ignored in 2006 when he wrote a major paper on future threats, as the Labour government of the day deemed speaking about Immigration as racist.”
ALL PART OF THE PLAN: Google, Facebook and Twitter Yield to German Govt Demand to Censor Anti-Migrant ‘Hate Speech’.
In a deal reached last December, major social media sites said they would work to delete any German anti-migrant sentiments distributed on their networks within 24 hours after a removal request has been made.
The outlets agreed to apply domestic laws, rather than their own corporate policies, to reviews of posts and already users in Germany are expressing disgust at the policy which came straight from German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s office.
Last September, Ms Merkel was overheard confronting Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg over the issue, with Mr Zuckerberg replying “we need to do some work” to remove offensive posts, Wired reported. He agreed to collude with the German leader on the issue.
As Breitbart News has reported, moderators on the link-sharing and discussion site Reddit have already deleted dozens of links and comments about immigrant gang violence after the Cologne sexual assaults in an apparent attempt to clamp down on “vileness.”

Young women had to flee the welcome event in terror after being groped by gangs of migrant men, even though organisers repeatedly interrupted the music with messages in Arabic urging them to stop their harassment. . . .
Angela Merkel’s government is under increasing pressure to come clean over the true numbers of sex crimes linked to migrants after it emerged that authorities deliberately withheld the nationalities of the Cologne attackers for several days.
They also “covered up” similar incidents in other cities including Dusseldorf and Hamburg, Munich and Berlin. . . .
The council official responsible for the integration of refugees in the Cologne region . . . said she “cannot remember” whether she advised the women who were attacked to go to the police, but added she felt the event’s student organisers “had learned from the situation”.
The appalling incident, on November 7, 2015, only became known of at all because one of the victims bravely decided to go to the police in the aftermath of the Cologne sex attacks. . . .

Any particular foreign leader whose executive stewardship you admire and might want to emulate as president?
Well, I have to say that I highly admire Angela Merkel. I’ve known Angela since the 1990s, she and I actually appeared on a German TV show together. I have spent personal time with her. She is, I think, a really effective strong leader and really right now the major leader in Europe, not just in Germany. I admire her political skills and her principles, her strong work ethic.

“IF PARENTING EFFECTS really existed, and you wanted to find them, where would you need to look?”
You know already where not to look; a correlation between a parenting style and child behavior, for instance, simply does not provide enough information to conclude that the former causes the latter. . . .
Bright parents often have bright children . . . and . . . are likely to rear their children in homes full of technology, music, art, and culture. In short, the child’s genetic propensity to be smart is reflected back in their direction from the environment. Behavioral geneticists refer to this as a passive gene-environment correlation (rGE) . . .
There’s more. . . . The reactions that children elicit are based in part on their genetically informed temperaments (known as evocative gene-environment correlation). . . . As . . . children age they actively seek to construct for themselves an environment that aligns with their natural inclinations (active gene-environment correlation). . . . If you’re going to tease apart that interaction between genes and environment (GxE), then the existence of gene-environment correlation (rGE) must also be dealt with. . . .
Real parenting effects are only to be found in research approaches like those described above, strategies that are designed to sidestep the pitfalls of traditional social science research.

CULTURAL ENRICHMENT: No-Go Zones: German Police Admit To Losing Control Of Immigrant ‘Problem Neighbourhoods’.
78 per cent of all local regions within NRW [North Rhine-Westphalia] have had to bring in external re-enforcements this year due to migrant criminal gangs, reports the Rheinische Post. . . .
CDU deputy Gregor Golland has criticised the political establishment in NRW for allowing this state of affairs for developing, where “criminal parallel societies are seeking the upper hand, or those already solidifying”. . . .
This is not by far the first time politicians and police officers have spoken out about no-go zones and rising migrant crime and violence. High-profile woman police officer Tania Kambouri remarked on the subject during an interview this month . . .
Stating that young Muslim men proudly proclaim “shit on Germany”, Mrs. Kambouri said police had already lost control in some areas of the country. The officer also expressed concern that anyone who brought up these issues was instantly discredited by being denounced as a “Nazi”.
Elsewhere in Germany the migrant crime wave is also being felt. New end of year police statistics from the State of Saxony have shown a 47 per cent rise in Migrant crime in 2015 compared to 2014, with ten per cent of all migrants in the state suspected of or convicted of crime, even before crimes relating to being in Germany illegally are factored in.

THE BIG LIE: “Everyone is equal, and if one group doesn’t appear equal, it’s because they’re being oppressed by another group.”
The big lie . . . gives the elite ideological and logistical tools to marginalize the strongest members of society and their in-groups. The foot soldiers at the bottom of the big lie (social justice warriors and feminists) are useful idiots that help the elite keep the lie alive.
Enemies of the big lie are the nuclear family, the tribe, national pride, and heterosexual native-born men. If you make me dictator and I’m able to destroy the family unit and the most independent freethinking men, the two biggest obstructions to my rule, my ancestors and I will reign for centuries. In the meantime, I will make women distrustful of men so that nuclear families are not created. I will empower minorities and immigrants to hate “privileged” white men. I will empower homosexuals and all deviant classes of societies to aid me in destroying the family unit while censoring or forbidding masculinity. I will introduce millions of incompatible foreigners through open-border immigration that decreases the ability of natives to pursue economic success and family formation. The big lie, it turns out, is wonderfully effective for maintaining control over huge populations. . . .
The good news and bad news is that the big lie is currently unraveling. . . . The United States will be a very different place without it.
Where will the new class of elites get their moral or ideological authority to rule from? How will they keep the peace among 325 million people, especially when we already need a police state and massive spying operation to keep order with the big lie in effect?

For most, the approval never comes: In the past five years, the proportion of applicants granted refugee status in Japan has dropped to below 1 percent — in 2014 it was just 0.2 percent. In contrast, Germany has accepted nearly 40,000 Syrian asylum-seekers since 2013, while the U.S. has pledged to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees and has resettled 2,234 since 2010. . . .
Immigration officials say they suspect many applicants of being job seekers, not true refugees fleeing persecution or conflict.

Japan is practically closed to Muslims.
Officially, immigration to Japan is not closed to Muslims. But the number of the immigration permits given to the applicants from Islamic countries is very low. Obtaining a working visa is not easy for adepts of Islam, even if they are physicians, engineers and managers sent by foreign companies that are active in the region. As a result, Japan is “a country without Muslims”.
INTERESTING: For The Republican Primaries, Minorities Line Up Behind … Donald Trump.
A new poll, which . . . has Trump leading the [GOP presidential primary] race, shows 40 percent of blacks are lining up behind Trump, as are 45 percent of Hispanics, and even nearly 19 percent of Asians.
Blacks and Hispanics, in fact, even support Trump at a higher level than whites.
The results are from a new WND/Clout poll by Clout Research, a national opinion research firm in Columbus, Ohio. The telephone survey of registered voters was taken Dec. 18-27, except for the holiday, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.35 percentage points.
Only Dr. Ben Carson pulled more support from the black community than Trump, at 50 percent, and no one had more support from Hispanics than Trump. Among Asians, 37.5 percent supported Sen. Marco Rubio, with Sen. Ted Cruz matching Trump’s 18.8 percent.
Among whites, Trump was far and away the leader, with 37.7 percent of the respondents. Cruz was second at 25.1 percent. . . .
Fritz Wenzel, chief of Clout Polling [said], . . . “Trump wins only 29 percent support among men but wins 47 percent support among women who will be voting in the GOP primary elections. Among conservative women voting in the GOP primaries, Trump wins 53 percent support.”
AN ASSESSMENT FROM THE ESTABLISHMENT “RIGHT”: What, Exactly, is the ‘Alternative Right?’
A new, highly heterogeneous force in right-wing politics is taking hold, and they have their sights set firmly on the Republican “establishment.” Known collectively as the “alternative right,” this amalgam includes neo-reactionaries, monarchists, nativists, populists, and even a few self-declared fascists. . . .
As scattered and ideologically diffuse as it is, the alt right has had real success. “GamerGate,” along with the wildly successful Twitter hashtag #cuckservative, are apt displays of why the alternative right has often proven more effective at fighting progressive dogma than the traditional Republican party. How? The alt right taken the fight to the left in the best way possible—they’ve co-opted its tactics and deployed them against their bully makers. The end result: Trump, the darling of the populist alt right (and its cousin, conservative talk radio), is miles ahead of his challengers, while the right-wing blogosphere is everyday gaining ground against the left and converting plenty of American voters along the way. . . .
Rather than concede the moral high ground to the left, the alt right turns the left’s moralism on its head and makes it a badge of honor to be called “racist,” “homophobic,” and “sexist.” Instead of the GOP establishment’s soup of globalism, free markets, and foreign interventions, the alt right has resurrected some ghosts from the conservative past in pushing for protectionism, national capitalism, and an emphasis on protecting American lives at home, not abroad.
Perhaps the most notable point the article makes is how the alt-right is superior to the establishment or ruling-class “right” in that it denies “the moral high ground” to the left, and thus is “more effective at fighting progressive dogma.”
AN ASSESSMENT FROM THE LEFT: How 2015 Fueled The Rise Of The Freewheeling, White Nationalist Alt Right Movement.
The white nationalists of the alt right share more in common with European far-right movements than American ones. This is a movement that draws upon relatively obscure political theories like neoreaction or the “Dark Enlightenment,” which reject the premises on which modernity is built, like democracy and egalitarianism. . . .
The alt right’s real objective, if one can be identified, is to challenge and dismantle mainstream conservatism.
It’s in part responsible for the spread of the “cuckservative” slur that gained currency over the summer and likely originated in forums on sites like My Posting Career and The Right Stuff, and has come to define a far-right contempt for conservatives they view as weak or sellouts . . .
The Right Stuff forums are rife with memes targeting, for example, Jeb Bush as a weakling (a recent Bush-related thread is titled “Suicide Watch Headquarters”) and portraying Trump as a hero (see “Memes of Der Trumpenfuhrer”). The culture clearly draws on 4chan — the /pol/ board is another hub.
This can all make it difficult to discern who’s a real racist and who’s a troll doing it to be edgy.
CZECH PRESIDENT: Wave of refugees to Europe an “organised invasion”.
“I am profoundly convinced that we are facing an organised invasion and not a spontaneous movement of refugees,” said Zeman in his Christmas message to the Czech Republic released on Saturday.
He went on to say that compassion was “possible” for refugees who are old or sick and for children, but not for young men who in his view should be back home fighting against jihadists. . . .
Both the Czech Republic and Slovakia, former communist countries that joined the European Union in 2004, have rejected the EU’s system of quotas for distributing refugees amid the current migrant wave.
SAVVY: Donald Trump: “Be careful Hillary as you play the war on women or women being degraded card.” Follow-up here.
Stone who cut his political teeth working for Richard Nixon’s infamous Committee to Re-elect the President, later campaigned for Ronald Reagan, and until recently worked for Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, shared a few nuggets from his new book The Clintons’ War on Women, which he co-wrote with Robert Morrow.
Stone told Boyle that Hillary Clinton promoting herself as an advocate for women and children is hypocrisy. The author reminded Breitbart News Sunday listeners that as recently as last week Hillary spoke about the rape issue and that raped victims should be believed.
“Unfortunately, this doesn’t match her own history,” Stone pointed out. “She has been an enabler of rape. She has been the person to enable the serial rape and sexual assaults by her husband Bill Clinton. Some of which are known publicly: Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, and Kathleen Willey.”
Stone stated that there were “many, many others who were not known publicly.” He charges that the main stream media is protective of the Clintons and supressed the other incidents to the public.
THUG GOVERNMENT: Minneapolis City Councilwoman DOXES Constituents Who Criticized Her Black Lives Matter Protesting. “Cano, who was born in Mexico and once served as an associate director at the Minnesota Immigrant Freedom Network, published screenshots of the critical messages she received through the city’s website. The shots included the names, home addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers of the complainants along with their messages for Cano.”
Further commentary:
I guess this behavior just comes naturally for someone who has always taken advantage of her status as a public servant. Here’s an article from a couple weeks back showing just how dirty Cano really is . . .
In March, city taxpayers paid almost $3,000 for Cano to go to the Public Spaces International Public Markets Conference in Barcelona, Spain. The cash came from public monies appropriated under Cano’s Ninth Ward budget, which can be spent at the politician’s discretion.
Eight months since returning from Barcelona, the trip has yet to bear legislative fruit. According to statistics from the Office of the City Clerk, Cano hasn’t proposed a single piece of legislation addressing public markets — or any other issue — in the City of Lakes in 2015.
Cano’s most recent junket took place in late November with the city on the cuff to pick up most of the tab for her trip to France for the 21st Annual United Nations Summit on Climate Change.
CIRCLE THE WAGONS: Islamic Coalition Responds To Terrorist Attacks By Calling For Massive Muslim Voter Drive.
Another speaker, American Muslim Alliance executive director Mahdi Bray asserted the coalition plans to “use the ballot to fight bigotry.”
“Let it be clear to all political candidates, be it Donald Trump, or whoever else, that if you engage in Islamophobia, if you engage in demagoguery and bigotry, you will pay a political price because we’re going to register our people and we’re going to take our souls to the polls and make sure you’re out of there.”
So, which political group represents those people who are on the receiving end of Muslims’ bigotry?
CULTURAL ENRICHMENT: “French anti-terror police have detained a woman found with a fake pregnant belly which they suspect she may have been planning to use to conceal explosives for a suicide attack.”
The couple were arrested late last week in Montpellier for condoning terrorism. Investigators later found the fake belly when they searched their home in the southern town. . . .
Female suicide bombers have hidden explosives in fake pregnancy bellies for attacks in the Middle East on many occasions, and the prosthetic stomachs have also been used to conceal drugs.
Police also found extremist Islamist propaganda on the couple’s computer in their home in Montpellier, and the woman had searched online for information on how to make bombs, a police source said.
THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT Marco Rubio And His Gang-of-Eight Amnesty Bill.
Rubio’s anti-amnesty position was one of the central promises of his campaign. In fact, Rubio slammed Charlie Crist for being pro-amnesty and very specifically said he opposed giving illegal aliens citizenship. Back then, Marco Rubio sounded like Jeff Sessions on immigration,
I am strongly against amnesty. The most important thing we need to do is enforce our existing laws. We have existing immigration laws that are not being adequately enforced. Nothing will make it harder to enforce the existing laws, if you reward people who broke them. It demoralizes people who are going through the legal process . . .
Getting beyond the Gang-of-Eight bill, as late as June of this year, Marco Rubio was openly saying that he wanted to make illegal aliens citizens. However, today he tries to muddy the waters about the subject by merely saying he thinks illegal aliens should eventually be able to get green cards. Of course, people who have green cards are allowed to apply for citizenship; so it’s the same difference over the long haul.

HOW’D HE SNEAK BY? 1 Christian: 236 of 237 Syrian Refugees Admitted Since Paris Attacks Are Muslims.
The Christian, a Greek Orthodox individual, is the sole non-Sunni Muslim admitted to the U.S. since the attack, which fueled concerns that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS/ISIL) may move terrorists into Western nations under the cover of refugee resettlement programs.
According to the CIA World Factbook, Christians accounted for an estimated 10 percent of the Syrian population and Sunni Muslims for an estimated 74 percent when the conflict began in early 2011.
“SYRIAN” “REFUGEES”: 1st Syrian ‘refugees’ Arrive In S.C. Despite Governor’s Concerns.
South Carolina was one of the first states to protest President Obama’s plans to bring 10,00 Syrian refugees to the United States for permanent resettlement . . .
The uprising grew so intense this past summer that Secretary of State John Kerry dispatched his top refugee official, Assistant Secretary of State Anne Richard, to Spartanburg to quell the backlash against Muslim migrants.
Republican Gov. Nikki Haley . . . joined more than two dozen other governors who told the Obama administration they didn’t want any Syrian refugees.
But none of that protest has stopped Obama’s plans from going forward. The Syrians continue to arrive not only in South Carolina but nationwide, Richard said.
A pair of Syrians were secretly planted last week in Midlands, near the state capital of Columbia, without even the governor’s office being notified. And more Syrians are on their way to the Palmetto State, the South Carolina Department of Social Services confirmed to WND.
The Syrians are being resettled in South Carolina by Lutheran Services Carolinas, a private agency affiliated with Lutheran Migration and Refugee Service, one of nine contractors who receive hundreds of millions in federal taxpayer money to resettle foreign refugees in the U.S.
UK: Introducing the most derided ethnic group in Britain: young white men. “YouGov data from 48 separate surveys reveals that young white men are seen as the worst ethnic, gender or age group on five negative traits – and the second worst on five positive traits.”
There’s some dumb analysis in here:
However, there is one characteristic that I consider to be independent of ethnicity: intelligence. If there is something close to a “pure” measure of racist sentiment, or lack of it, it is here. In overall terms, the difference between beliefs about the “best” and “worst” ethnic groups is narrower for intelligence than for most other characteristics. Jewish and Chinese men and women come out slightly ahead of other groups, while Muslim, Pakistani and Polish folk lag behind – but the gap is modest. This finding holds good, whatever the age, gender or social class of the respondent.
So, noticing group differences with respect to intelligence is obviously racist? After all, it’s not as if intelligence has a genetic component! Did respondents generally think of Jewish and Chinese people as smarter because of widespread pro-Jewish and pro-Chinese sentiment in the UK?
