A group of migrants off an incoming train walk down a platform as they are accompanied by the police at the Swedish end of the bridge between Sweden and Denmark near Malmoe on November 12, 2015.

The Nordic nation is one of the EU countries with the least number of available jobs in professions with low or no educational requirements, which doesn't rhyme particularly well with the new wave of immigration, where the skills are very low, resulting in increased gaps between the newcomers and the native-born.

As many as 50 percent of newly arrived immigrants to Sweden lack compulsory school education, the trade newspaper Arbetsmarknadsnytt reported, citing a recent seminar with Forbes.

"The level of education of these groups is generally very low. Half of them do not even have elementary school skills, which we know are pivotal for having a chance in today's labor market," Pernilla Andersson Joona, economics professor at the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI) at Stockholm University, told Arbetsmarknadsnytt.

Comment: In other words, the Swedish population was sold a lie regarding the benefits of increased immigration without strict controls over who was allowed in their country. They are now sadly reaping the consequences of accepting that lie.

IDF snipers shoot palestinian footballer

A video posted by a Gaza journalist today appears to show the moment that a young Palestinian football player was shot in the leg, destroying his knee, and his career, evidently by an Israeli sniper while the young man was merely video'ing himself near the Israeli border last Friday. Israel killed 17 Palestinian protesters and wounded hundreds more.

Palestinian journalist Mohammed Kareem posted the video today:

Four Somali children contact UK police - parents showed them ISIS videos, isolated and physically abused them

Four children have contacted the authorities after their parents showed them Islamic State beheading videos. According to court documents, the Midlands children were taken out of school and were being "socially isolated."

Details of the alleged "physical and emotional abuse" were heard in the High Court last week, leaving one of the children, a 10-year-old boy who suffers with learning difficulties, so traumatized he can no longer speak.

The children - three boys aged 10, 14 and 16, and the daughter, 18, all of Somali origin - alerted authorities and are now in foster care. Police intervened after the daughter emailed Childline. The 18-year-old told authorities that the children were being "kept at home, did not attend school and were kept socially isolated." Police then subsequently traced the email to the family's home.

According to court documents, the children were only let out of the house once every three weeks. "The children have complained that their parents expressed support for extremist violence and have expressed anti-Semitic, anti-British, homophobic and anti-white views in the home, which the children reject," the High Court judgment says.

Justice Alison Russell ruled last week that the youngest child should move to residential care.

Comment: On the one hand, if true, this case will just confirm what a lot of Brits and Europeans already believe: that Middle Eastern and North African migrants have a problem assimilating into British culture. But note also that the parents still deny the "extent" of the children's allegations. If they have not been verified, what does it say about the British system when a 10-year-old can be taken from his parents and placed in residential care based on claims that have yet to be substantiated? Because of the nature of the claims, probably few will be concerned in this case, but it's still another example in a dangerous trend that is attacking parents' rights and the integrity of the family. All a child has to do if they are mad at their parents is accuse them of any number of thought crimes and guilt will be presumed.

Rape of schoolboy by Catholic nun, and cover up by the Church, revealed in sexual abuse scandal

A victim of sex abuse by a depraved nun has told how she became pregnant by him when he was just 12. Edward Hayes is still fighting for answers from the Catholic Church.

He wanted to speak out over the Easter weekend to lift the lid on sexual abuse by nuns and encourage other victims to finally come forward after years of secret torment

While horrific historic sexual abuse of boys by priests has been widely exposed, he believes his case could be the "tip of the iceberg" in revealing how nuns may also have targeted vulnerable boys.

Mr Hayes's ordeal over nearly three years happened at the former John Reynolds Home in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, run by The Franciscan Missionaries of St Joseph, a Catholic congregation of nuns.

Ahmad al-Najjar, a shot and wounded by Israeli troops during Land Day marches days earlier, returns to a protest camp near the Gaza-Israel boundary, Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, 2 April

Israeli leaders who ordered troops to open fire on Palestinians taking part in the Great March of Return rallies in Gaza last Friday, even though marchers posed no threat, bear personal responsibility for the deaths and injuries, Human Rights Watch said Tuesday.

They are responsible for "calculated" killings of unarmed civilians in violation of international law, the human rights group states, warning that Israeli leaders could face prosecution abroad.

In a detailed report on Israel's violence against the marches that coincided with the Palestinian commemoration of Land Day, Human Rights Watch dismantles Israeli claims that the use of military snipers against civilian demonstrators was justified by a "terrorist" threat.

Human Rights Watch reaches two key conclusions: the Israeli violence against Palestinians was premeditated, illegal under international law, and ordered at the highest level; and Israel has presented no evidence whatsoever of any credible threat that would justify the violence it used on the day.

The blame for the downfall of men and boys falls squarely on the shoulders of feminists

What feminists want is for men and women to cease being men and women and to instead become unisex. Androgynous. Interchangeable beings

On his program "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Carlson and his team gave men in America a voice every Wednesday in March. It is only the beginning of a much-needed conversation, but it was a great start. I can't think of anyone in the media other than Carlson who's courageous enough to tackle this sensitive topic. He covered many, many facts about the plight of boys and men with sincere interest each Wednesday and afterward interviewed a different expert to discuss the problems he'd just described.

But it was in the final segment that Carlson honed in on why Americans are oblivious to this crisis.

America has changed completely. The patriarchy is gone. Women are winning. Men are failing. Men in America are now far more likely to die of a drug overdose, drop out of the workforce because of an addiction, commit a felony and go to prison. They fail in school much more often than women do. They kill themselves at many times the rate. Overall, they die years younger. Those numbers are not speculative. They are hard data gathered over decades by nonpartisan researchers. You'd have to ignore a huge amount of settled science in order to repeat the pieties of 1970s-era feminism, and yet this is exactly what our leaders continue to do.

YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, California on lockdown amid reports of active shooter - UPDATE

The YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, California is on lockdown after reports of an active shooter on campus. Police have confirmed activity at the address, while employees described sounds of gunshots and reported an evacuation.

"We are responding to an active shooter," the San Bruno police said on Twitter.

A photo taken from across the street shows a large police presence in the area. Another picture shows police escorting some employees out, with their hands up.

Comment: Police have identified the woman behind the shooting as Nasim Aghdam of San Diego, California. Four people were injured after Aghdam opened fire at the YouTube campus. Adgdam was found dead inside the complex, police believe she committed suicide.

Video from January 2017 has emerged online which appears to show Aghdam criticizing YouTube. Although the woman identifies herself in the video as Nasime Sabz, a law enforcement official told AP that she used that name online and had a long-running dispute with YouTube. Her father, Ismail Aghdam, told the Bay Area News Group that she "hated" the company. He added that she was angry because the company stopped paying her for videos.

In the footage, she complains that her videos no longer received the same number of views they once did, and accuses the site of placing an age restriction on a workout video she made.

"Why they did that? Because it got famous and was getting many views, so they age restricted that video to keep it from getting views," she said. The woman said she contacted YouTube and was told there was inappropriate content in the exercise video.

A channel by the name of Nasime Sabz was deleted from YouTube. The video is now shared by social media users.

Is Jordan Peterson saving the world?

Zašto komunisti ne mogu izdražati Jordan Petersona

The professor with the massive social following isn't just doing pop psychology. He's trying to rebuild the West's moral order.

The spectacular rise of Jordan Peterson has caught much of the world flat-footed. Discussions of the psychology professor from the University of Toronto tend to focus on the enormous popular movement his lectures have spawned, rather than the actual ideas presented in the lectures themselves. As a result, no one seems to know who the "real" Jordan Peterson is.

In a way, this is understandable. Peterson is a man of several personae. One Peterson is the inventor of an innovative and compelling neuropsychological model of human behavior. This is the Peterson presented in a dozen research articles reviewed and published by his academic peers.

Another Peterson dispenses pieces of practical advice and dispels progressive dogmas with a quiet, fatherly charisma. This is the Peterson made famous in podcasts, television interviews, and his best selling self-help book.

Devolution of society: A quick list of stupid and dangerous internet challenges from recent years

The 'condom challenge' is the latest internet craze harming teens the world over. In light of this new stunt, RT.com takes a look back at some of the strangest internet crazes people willingly undertook on camera.

Condom Challenge

This 'classic' challenge reappeared on the internet over the last few days. It involves snorting condoms up the nose and attempting to pull it through the nasal cavity and out of the mouth. Aside from the associated the vomit-inducing sounds, this maneuver is life-threatening. It can cause the person to choke or suffocate - all the while looking damn foolish.

Condom Challenge MK 2

Incredibly there is more than one way to use a prophylactic for the amusement of the baying internet public. However, both toy with potential suffocation and death. This challenge involves filling a condom with water and then putting the airtight pleasure sack over your face and attempting not to drown.
