Austria's Chancellor Kurz urges EU to do more to fight 'political Islam'

Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz called on the European Union Tuesday (3 November) to do more to fight "political Islam", which he said represented a grave threat to European values.

Kurz told the German daily Die Welt in an interview:
"The EU must focus much more strongly on the problem of political Islam in the future. I hope we will see an end to this misunderstood tolerance and that all countries in Europe will finally realise how dangerous the ideology of political Islam is for our freedom and the European way of life. It must, with utmost determination and unity, wage a war against Islamist terror, but particularly against its political base, that is to say political Islam."
He was speaking a day after a known Islamic extremist went on a shooting rampage in Vienna, killing four people in Austria's first terrorist attack in decades.

Comment: Those globalists who 'provoked and directed' recent world events knew the infusion of Islamic radicals into the EU would inevitably produce clashes between Muslim ideology and European culture. It smacks of a plan to foment situations that call for a particular and rapid change. The will of the few outweighs the will of the many - unless the many address the danger, join together and reverse the ploy.

Ukrainian opposition threatens possible impeachment of President Zelensky as constitutional crisis in Kiev deepens

President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky
A leading MP from Ukraine's main opposition party, 'Opposition Platform - For Life', has indicated it may push for the impeachment of President Volodymyr Zelensky as Kiev's latest political crisis becomes more divisive.

Ilya Kiva, one of the group's representatives in the Ukrainian parliament, raised concerns on Wednesday about Zelensky's ongoing row with the country's Constitutional Court over a package of new anti-corruption reforms. The Opposition Platform is regarded as "pro-Russian" by Western media, as it rejects Kiev's hostile stance toward Moscow.

Speaking to Ukrainian TV channel NewsOne, Kiva said Zelensky is
"ready to wipe his feet on the Constitution for the benefit of third parties, spitting it out, flattening it out. We are ready to talk about this issue [of impeachment]. I want to look at Parliament's actions today, because whatever decision the Constitutional Court makes, we Members of Parliament cannot level the law just because someone likes it or not."

Wolves, social media & tactics from Afghanistan: Canadians should be worried about their government's bizarre psyops exercises

Throughout 2020, Canada's Armed Forces have allegedly engaged in information warfare campaigns seemingly seeking to emulate Britain's secretive 77th Brigade. This should trouble ordinary Canadians.

A series of unsettling and bizarre developments have unfolded under the radar north of the 49th parallel of late. Canadian soldiers have engaged in information warfare, or attempted to, against their own citizens, without apparent official approval.

In the latest example of this troubling phenomenon, Canada's military has reportedly drawn up plans to establish an online psychological operations division, in the manner of Britain's secretive psywar outfit 77th Brigade, however, officially at least, the defense minister is having none of it. Given the Brigade's recent domestically-focused activities in the UK, one can only hope his resistance is sincere, and enduring.

Trump campaign to sue in Nevada alleging illegally cast ballots

The line to vote at Galleria at Sunset mall in Henderson snaked around the corner on Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2018, with hundreds still in line just before polls closed.
President Trump's campaign is planning a news conference in Las Vegas to announce a lawsuit alleging that there were at least 10,000 ballots cast in Nevada by voters who do not live in the state.

The Thursday morning news conference comes as Democratic nominee Joe Biden clings to an approximately 8,000-vote lead over Trump in Nevada, a battleground that could prove decisive to the outcome of the presidential race. The legal action, first reported by Fox News, in Nevada was to be announced by Ric Grenell, Trump's former acting director of national intelligence, former state attorney general and Trump campaign state chairman Adam Laxalt, Trump supporter Matt Schlapp, and Nevada GOP Chairman Michael McDonald.

Comment: RT reports:
President Donald Trump vowed to make legal challenges over allegations of voter fraud in all states that were recently put in the win column for Democratic rival Joe Biden, saying there's "plenty of proof" of wrongdoing.

Trump said the allegations will involve both voter fraud and fraud committed by state election officials.

Twitter immediately flagged Trump's tweet as potentially misleading, although most of his message was about actions that he plans to take and expressing confidence that he will be victorious.


Trump's statement came after media outlets declared Biden the winner in Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona. Late troves of ballots, including mail-in votes, overwhelmingly favored Biden and erased Trump's election-night leads in Wisconsin and Michigan.

The incumbent president's campaign has blasted media outlets for announcing Biden as the winner in Arizona with hundreds of thousands of ballots yet to be counted.
A child could see that Trump has ample grounds to mount a legal challenge to suspect election results:

Israel orders 1.5 million doses of Russia's Covid-19 vaccine, hospital chief rejects West's 'political' concerns

Production of the world's first COVID-19 vaccine.
The boss of one of Israel's largest hospitals has placed a huge order for Russia's Sputnik-V coronavirus vaccine, arguing that concerns over the formula are due to tensions between Moscow and Washington, rather than safety issues.

Zeev Rotstein, director of Jerusalem's Hadassah Medical Centre believes Western objections are more political than scientific, telling Israeli newspaper Haaretz, "it's like the space race. It's no wonder the Russians called the vaccine Sputnik 5. They wanted to remind the Americans who reached space first."


Comment: Except these lockdowns are killing tens of thousands of people, and counting.


Rotstein said the "results and safety we've seen have been very good. There's a good probability that the vaccine is safe. And there's a reasonable probability ... that it's also effective."

Comment: There you have it; a viable vaccine is available (albeit unncessary) but, for some reason, Western countries continue to lockdown their citizens:

Trump (still) poised to win the election. Now he has to #StopTheSteal

trump election night press conference

Donald Trump delivers Election Night statement
In a triumphant late night address to the nation, the President decisively declared that "Frankly, we did win this election." Against overwhelming odds, President Trump is on the brink of securing a second four year term.

The margins in the decisive states are clear. As of early Wednesday morning, the president was up 300,000 votes in Michigan. He was up 110,000 in Wisconsin. He was up a staggering 700,000 in Pennsylvania. He holds clear leads in Georgia and North Carolina.

Despite a relentless defamation campaign by the press, censorship by big tech, riots by Antifa and Black Lives Matter, the silent majority of Americans turned out to support their president.

Only one thing remains to be done: To stop the left from executing its color revolution and stealing the election in the days to come.

Update 09:58ET: The USPS Inspector General's office has contacted Project Veritas following their report from a postal employee who says he was instructed to collect ballots after the election cutoff so they could be backdated.

"They're aware of this, it falls under their jurisdiction, they're assessing whether to investigate," said James O'Keefe, founder of PV.

A US Postal Service employee from Michigan has reportedly turned whistleblower, telling Project Veritas that his supervisor instructed mail carriers to collect and segregate new ballot envelopes received after the election cutoff so that they could be fraudulently back-dated with a Nov. 3 postmark.

Comment: The legal eagles on both sides will be swinging into action soon.

Has Russia had enough insults from the West?

Putin
I have argued that Russia is not a "European country"; my argument stands on the fact that Russia and Europe had quite different histories and little contact until the Emperor Peter became a major player in European history by knocking Sweden out of the running. I have argued that, whatever they may have wished in the past, an increasing number of Russians today don't want to be "Europeans": they view Europe - the West - with increasing distaste and bewilderment. "Europe" is, of course, a word with many meanings: here I mean a culture/civilisation/society that, over the past half millennium, has spread around the world and now is commonly called "the West". These days, the capital power of the West is the USA but the USA, Canada, Australia, much of South America and many of the other outposts of European settlement are children of the original European civilisation.

Russia's relationships with the West have gone through many ups and downs - ally, for example, with Britain in 1812, 1914 and 1941, enemy in 1853, 1918, opponent during the so-called Great Game and the Cold War. Russians often see the relationship as one of ungrateful rejection: take, for example, the long-forgotten important service Russia did for the Union in 1863. In my mind this feeling stems from Russia's unusual history as a predator fish which remembers its long time as a prey fish - its neighbours remember the first, itself the second - the prey fish feeling was, of course, strongly reinforced by the death struggle of 1941-45.

Your vote doesn't matter

Parting of Ways
© Eric Peters Auto
I spoke yesterday with Bill Meyer, who hosts the Bill Meyer Show in Oregon. We talked, among other things, about the explosive fact that in states like VA and CA, a geographically tiny canker sore of urban density has achieved almost unassailable political control over the entire state.

For example, in my state - Virginia - 85 percent of the state, by geography, voted for the Orange Man but because of Northern Va and Richmond, which are hives of government workers (which means government-lovers) the state fell to the Hair Plugged Man.

The majority of the state is controlled politically by a minority of the state. It's the same in CA and a number of other states, too.

The people no longer have a voice.

Because some people control the state.

What happens when the people of a state are disfranchised? When they come to know that their vote doesn't matter? Is it equitable that a geographically and proportionately tiny part of a state dictates to the rest of the state?

By what right does a Beltway bureaucrat autocratically govern the lives of farmers who live hundreds of miles away? The Coonman is the governor of Northern Virginia. He is loathed in most of Virginia. But the people of the rest of the state cannot vote him out of their lives because their votes don't matter. Northern Virginia decides the politics of Virginia.

Do we not adhere to the idea of the consent of the governed? How can there be consent when there is no choice? This is not about red vs. blue. It is about right vs. wrong.

It is time for a parting of the ways. Before it comes to blows.

Country for old politicians: US gerontocracy wins big, with more years in Congress for Pelosi, 80, McConnell, 78, & other seniors

With most results from election day in, the House and Senate are looking pretty similar to their previous makeup, thanks to numerous senior citizen politicians who have spent decades in their positions, such as Nancy Pelosi.

While President Trump and others have expressed support for the implementation of term limits in the past, the idea is one that remains more of a topic for hypothetical discussion rather than potential legislation. The arguments for term limits are mainly that it would combat lobbying arms by keeping the turnover rate in Congress high, as well as keeping politicians more representative of their constituents by limiting the amount of time they spend in office.

Such a concept is likely still far down the line, considering the number of politicians who continually walk away with victories despite being challenged again and again by younger, fresher opponents.
