German AfD politician: Migrants' way of life leads to "clash of civilizations"

Politician Björn Höcke explains why some migrants murder and cause trouble in Germany. He says their way of life and honour culture leads to Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations".

As an example he gives the brutal murder of a 15-year old German girl called Mia, in the city of Kandel. He adds that the murder of the girl is besides a "clash of civilizations also a "clash of different ages".

Höcke is a politician of the right-wing AfD party, that successfully entered the German parliament after the elections last year.


Comment: The fact is, "multiculturalism" only results in anomie and loss of "moral capital". Both sides lose, bigly. The only thing that actually works? A shared identity. Which ain't gonna happen. So whatever the merits of Hocke's thesis, the clash is pretty much a fait accompli at this point. European culture is fracturing and polarizing. They can thank their spineless politicians for that.

Most damning FISA memo revelation: FBI/DOJ didn't let FISA court know Clinton/DNC paid for dossier

On Friday, President Donald Trump authorized the release of the controversial FISA memo, which details the alleged abuses by the FBI and the Department of Justice having to do with secret surveillance in the Russia-Trump collusion investigation.

Trump's decision was highly controversial after many Democrats warned it was inaccurate and politically charged.

The memo covered four key points as discovered by the Washington Examiner:
  • The Steele dossier formed an essential part of the initial and all three renewal FISA applications against Carter Page.
  • Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information.
  • The political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications.
  • DOJ official Bruce Ohr met with Steele beginning in the summer of 2016 and relayed to DOJ information about Steele's bias. Steele told Ohr that he, Steele, was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) summarized the alleged abuses best in a tweet saying, "FBI takes 'salacious and unverified' dossier to secret court to get secret warrant to spy on a fellow American, and FBI doesn't tell the court that the DNC/Clinton campaign paid for that dossier. And they did that FOUR times."

Those expected to uphold the law were breaking it, all in an effort to destroy Trump.

Gregg Jarrett, Sara Carter and Sebastian Gorka reacted to the release of the explosive and damning FISA memo.

Sara Carter revealed that her sources have told her that the best is yet to come, as the FISA Memo is only "10% of of what is coming", stating that the investigation is now in reverse, as the entire Russiagate lie unravels at a rapid pace.

Flashback Macron Leaks exposed secret plans for the islamisation of France and Europe

The Macron leaks contain secret proposals that would lead to the islamisation of France and Europe. These are shown in a Powerpoint presentation which appears to have come from the Institut Montaigne. Harmonising education between countries on different sides of the Mediterranean is one of the key objectives.
Create a common history textbook with Italy, Spain, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia (3) in order to put in historical perspective the mutual contributions and religious convergences between the two shores of the Mediterranean.

Within the 3+3 framework, we recommend the creation of a commission of historians responsible for drawing up a common history textbook. The aim of this work will be:
  • to create a common base of objective historical knowledge founded on the logic of a historical "draw" [stalemate]
  • to develop a sense of belonging to a common history
  • to reduce the fantasies of victimisation on one side as well as civilisational superiority on the other
The document also recommends the introduction of Arabic teaching to French schools, including bi-lingual classes. This is justified by with the claim that Muslims are currently getting their "Arabic fix" from mosques, where they risk being radicalised. I previously noted that "soft islamisation" is being advocated as the remedy for "hard islamisation" and that this represents a kind of de facto reward being offered to jihad violence. Jihad gets results. It leads to societies being islamised, one way or the other.

Comment: Diversity Macht Frei followed up with another post:
The same presentation that I discussed yesterday (link) proposes that the French government collect statistics about the ethnic and religious make-up of its population. Currently, this is prohibited in France, where all "citoyens" are presumed to be equal. No doubt this is, in part, an ethnic power-play. Armed with their statistics, Muslims will be able to say, "Look, we're XX per cent of the population, we should get more cash!". The PowerPoint puts it more formally:
To improve knowledge of the sociology of religious practices in order to better respond to their needs
The second justification for the plan cited, however, is very interesting.
To deconstruct the myths of the "Great Replacement"
Coined by the French writer Renaud Camus (a reputable novelist whose publishing contract was cancelled due to his politically incorrect views), this phrase "Grand Replacement" [Great Replacement] has come to have the same totemic significance in continental Europe that "White Genocide" does in English-language discourse. It refers to the replacement of the indigenous peoples of Europe by non-Europeans; or, to put it another way, the phenomenon of ethnic Europeans being turned into ethnic minorities. This phrase has almost entered the mainstream in France, although I have seen it used by Alt-Right patriot movements in German and Italian too, so it has spread more broadly. Generation Identity makes frequent use of it, for example.

But here we have a clear indication the left-wing intelligentsia concerned about the spread of this meme and the patriotic resistance it inspires. The irony is that they plan to counter it by collecting and publishing accurate demographic statistics. Of course, if we are right - and we are - the statistics will not counter the "Great Replacement" concept at all; they will confirm it. So bring on the statistics, lefties. That might be one good thing to emerge from this, if Macron wins.

As Charles Martel probably said, on the eve of battle: "First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they generate statistics to try and thwart you. Then you win."

More generally, this presentation focuses on the idea of nationalising Islam in France. It argues that the French government should grant certain privileges and public recognition to Islam and establish formal structures for its expression, so it can thereby acquire some control over it and prevent it going in wayward directions. This is the basic approach adopted in much of the Middle East, where governments control or monitor the training of imams, and sometimes write their sermons for them, and so on. As I put it before, it proposes soft public islamisation as the remedy for hard private islamisation.

NOTE: The post I made yesterday about this presentation went viral. I saw it referenced on many other sites. In some of the comments on these sites, people were still retardedly claiming it was a fake, even though I specified where exactly the email in question could be found.

For the sake of these doubters, here are direct links to the specific files referenced. One is an email. The other is the Powerpoint presentation within the email. No doubt some will now claim that I faked the entire Powerpoint presentation and email.

Devin Nunes on the Memo: Democrats 'not honest actors,'FBI/DOJ 'have work to do'

Senior officials at the Department of Justice and the FBI need to address abuses listed in the explosive GOP memo, said House Intelligence Committee chair Devin Nunes. He dismissed criticism from Democrats as dishonest.

Declassified by President Donald Trump and published by the committee Friday over strong objections by Democrats, the DOJ and the FBI, the memo lays out the origins of the warrant to spy on Trump adviser, Carter Page, in the dossier funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign.

Nunes (R-California) appeared on Fox News' 'Special Report' Friday evening and revealed that he commissioned the report, but that the bulk of the work was done by several committee staffers and Representative Trey Gowdy (R-South Carolina). Gowdy, a former prosecutor, was the one to review the FBI/DOJ applications for a search warrant under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

"They wouldn't have received a warrant without the dossier," Nunes told Fox's Bret Baier. "The dossier was presented as if it was true."

Kurz welcomes Orban to Vienna claiming to act as 'bridge-builder' between Visegrad states and Brussels

Kurz and Orban
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said Tuesday that he aimed to ease east-west strains within the European Union, as his new right-wing government welcomed Hungary's incendiary Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Vienna.

"In particular since the start of the migrant crisis (in 2015) tensions have grown in the European Union," Kurz told a joint news conference with Orban in the Austrian capital.

"Our great aim in Austria is to be a bridge-builder in this respect between the Visegrad states and the countries in western Europe," the 31-year-old conservative said.

A rift has emerged in recent years between Brussels and the Visegrad group of Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia -- and in particular with Warsaw and Budapest.

A sweeping revamp of state institutions by the nationalist governments in both countries has raised worries about the rule of law, judicial independence and media freedom.

Ill-gotten gains: UK will seize assets held by foreign criminals, says security chief

The UK has introduced sweeping new powers which, according to the country's security minister, will be used to seize the assets of foreign criminals.

Speaking to the Times, cabinet minister Ben Wallace said that he would use "the full force of the government" to stifle the activities of investors using Britain as a haven for their ill-gotten gains. Wallace was speaking following the introduction of Unexplained Wealth Orders (UWOs) this week, created as part of the Criminal Finance Act, which allows authorities to freeze assets exceeding £50,000 in value if their owners are unable to explain how they acquired them.

"Unexplained wealth orders can be used against everyone from a local drug trafficker to an international oligarch or overseas criminal," Wallace told the paper.

"If they are an MP in a country where they don't receive a big salary but suddenly they have a nice Knightsbridge townhouse worth millions and they can't prove how they paid for it, we will seize that asset, we will dispose of it and we will use the proceeds to fund our law enforcement."

Germany is 'cooking the books' to mask trade surplus as Trump gears up for showdown with EU over trade

Germany trade surplus

Germany is greatly understating the true size of its current account surplus in order to deflect mounting global criticism, according to an exposé by German economists.

The annual surplus in 'real' terms - the figure that matters in trade relations - may be as much as €80bn (£70bn) higher than the sum declared by the statistics office and submitted to international bodies.

"They're cooking the books so that the surplus does not look as if it is increasing. What they are doing is a form of 'political smoothing', but very few people understand this," said Professor Heiner Flassbeck, Germany's former state-secretary of finance and now at Hamburg university.

The allegation comes at a sensitive moment, just as US President Donald Trump gears up for a showdown with Europe over trade. "I've had a lot of problems with the European Union, and it may morph into something very big from a trade standpoint," he told broadcaster Piers Morgan.

Turkish General Staff detail results of military offensive in Afrin, Syria

The Turkish Armed Forces have killed 74 more militants of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), and the Daesh terrorist group (banned in Russia) during the military operation in Syria's northern district of Afrin.

"The Turkish Air Force has hit 15 targets, including hideouts, firing points and weapons depots of PYD, YPG and IS terrorist groups during Operation Olive Branch. The aircraft participating in the operation have successfully returned to their bases. At least 74 terrorists were killed, bringing the total number [of killed militants] since the beginning of the operation to 897," the statement obtained by Sputnik read.

The Turkish General Staff commented on the development of the operation saying that the military advance was ongoing as planned.

Comment: There would seem to be a certain amount of political theater going on. It's highly unlikely Turkey would make such a move without Russia approval. And while Assad has no choice but to publicly announce his outrage, it's possible that Russia has counseled him as to the potentially deeper advantages of Turkey's actions, such as the elimination of foreign mercenaries who have joined YPG, and the containment of forces that might disrupt SAA operations elswhere.

New sanctions on Russian debt could hit US hard, says US Treasury

Steven Mnuchin

The US Treasury has warned that imposing new sanctions on Russia's sovereign debt market could have massive repercussions for the US, a new unclassified document warns.

The memo, obtained by Bloomberg, outlines the risks of expanding existing sanctions on Russia to include new sovereign debt and derivatives. The Treasury did not release the report publicly.

The document warns that sanctions "could hinder the competitiveness of large US asset managers" and have "negative spillover effects into global financial markets." This could lead to a "Russian retaliation against US interests."

The report concludes that given the size of Russia's economy and its "prevalence in global asset markets," the effects of sanctions would be damaging to the US. The Russian sovereign debt and derivatives market is one of the largest among emerging markets.
