If Muslim jihadists have their way, the entirety of Europe will one day be part of the savage global caliphate. This year Europe has seen a jihad terror attack attempt every nine days. France alone has witnessed the savagery of the Charlie Hebdo attack, with twelve killings as well as the Bataclan Eagles of Death Metal slaughter that resulted in the deaths of 80 concert goers. France also is home to Muslim-infested no-go zones, where even the bravest gendarme dare not tread without massive back-up, if they enter the area at all.


Comment: Those responsible for 'Muslim terror attacks' are, like nearly all 'terrorist' events, from a source closer to home:

At least seven Palestinians were killed in the operation conducted by the Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, a representative of the region's medical service told Sputnik.

Earlier in the day, the Israeli forces destroyed a tunnel under the border of Gaza Strip, killing members of the Palestinian Hamas movement's paramilitary wing and their allies from the Islamic Jihad Movement. Both organizations are listed as terrorist by Israel and the United States.

Wounded veterans find new mission hunting down pedophiles

Veterens fight pedophelia
In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sex abuse scandal there has been renewed media attention being given to the numerous reports of systemic Hollywood pedophilia as alleged by Corey Feldman, Todd Bridges, Elijah Wood and many, many others.

Since 2013 one organization has aimed to fight back against pedophiles across the United States: the HERO - Human Exploitation Rescue Operative - program gives veterans injured, ill or wounded in the line of duty, training in computer forensics, to work with federal agents in fighting back against pedophiles who use the internet to sexually exploit children.

The Hero Child Rescue Corps is a government-funded project that trains the veterans to hunt child predators - developed by the National Association to Protect Children (Protect), and in conjunction with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), the veterans receive 11 weeks of intensive training and 10 months of on-the-ground experience, CNN reports.

The veterans work in unison with law enforcement, serving as computer forensic analysts as part of a year-long unpaid internship. After completing their training, the vets are placed in Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) field offices across the US.

'Sacre Beurre' - Global butter prices triple in one year: French producers buck price controls

It's not received much attention, but global butter prices have roughly tripled since Summer 2016 as production cuts have hit supply...

According to Bloomberg, global butter prices have almost tripled to 7,000 euros ($8,144) a ton from 2,500 euros in 2016, according to Agritel, an Paris-based farming consultancy. In Europe, prices peaked at about 6,500 euros a ton in September, the highest since the European Commission began collecting such data in 2000.

The problem can be traced to the end of (EU) milk-production quotas in April 2015 that led to a glut early last year in Europe, and a drastic drop in prices. This prompted production cuts by spring this year.

The reduction coincided with other global milk products exporters curbing their own output: the U.S. stopped selling abroad to address higher domestic demand while New Zealand, the world's biggest dairy exporter, experienced lower production due to droughts, Pierre Begoc, an Agritel analyst, said in a phone interview.

This chart, from the Global Dairy Trade's website shows that butter prices (in dollars) remain close to the recent high:

Sociology professor blows a gasket, claims 'white nuclear family is powerful force that supports white supremacy'

A sociology professor at the City University of New York (CUNY) recently argued in an extensive series of tweets that "the white-nuclear family" perpetuates racism.

Jessie Daniels, a self-described "expert on race," began her tweetstorm this weekend by declaring that "what I've learned is that the white-nuclear family is one of the most powerful forces supporting white supremacy."

"I mean, if you're a white person who says they're engaged in dismantling white supremacy but...you're forming a white family [and] reproducing white children that 'you want the best for' - how is that helping [and] not part of the problem?"

Comment: Ah yes, forget those archaic values that have to do with family relationships, because they're obviously racist!

Academia is apparently imploding in on itself, and it is not a pretty sight. See another train wreck here:

Gold Bar

Gold bar certified by Royal Canadian Mint exposed as fake - market could 'temporarily seize up'

Joy Creations owner Samuel Tang contacted CBC News when neither RBC nor the
mint would take back the one-ounce gold piece he'd purchased
The last time there was a widespread physical gold counterfeiting scare was in the summer of 2012 when as we reported the discovery of a single 10 oz Tungsten-filled gold bar in Manhattan's jewelry district led to a panic among the dealer community, which then resulted in local jewelry outlets discovering at least ten more fake 10-ounce "gold bars" filled with Tungsten. Fast forward to today when a similar instance of gold counterfeiting has been discovered, this time in Canada, and where the fake bar in question had been "certified" by the highest possible authority.

According to CBC, the Royal Canadian Mint is investigating how a sealed, "pure gold" wafer with proper mint stampings has emerged as a fake. According to the Canadian press, the one-ounce gold piece, which was supposed to be 99.99% pure, was purchased by an Ottawa jeweller on Oct. 18 at a Royal Bank of Canada branch. The problem emerged when tests of the bar showed it may contain no gold at all. And, when neither the mint nor RBC would take the bar back, jeweler Samuel Tang contacted CBC news.

As the Independent reports, planes running on the mixture of renewable and traditional fuel will start flying next year from Geneva in Switzerland. The airport wants biofuel to have a one percent share of sales at the airport for a start, according to Matti Leivonen, the CEO of Finnish company Neste that produces the fuel.

Lufthansa tested the company's fuel on more than 1,000 flights in 2011 with a 50-50 blend of biofuel to kerosene. "It worked amazingly well," Lievonen told the British newspaper.

A man who raped his own mother claims he assaulted her in the middle of the night because he was "stressed" over allegations that he had raped his girlfriend. The 29-year-old admitted to the cocaine-fuelled attack in which he also threatened his mother with a screwdriver.

At the time of the assault, he was on bail for raping his partner and eventually convicted at Liverpool Crown Court. During one violent episode, sparked by a jealous rage, he hit his girlfriend three times and then began to kick her while she lay on the floor.

The court heard how the suspect forced his girlfriend to perform a sex act on him and then raped her after alleging she was cheating on him.

Deranged university professor wants to 'do away with masculinity completely'

A feminist professor at Occidental College recently argued that men must renounce their masculinity and "denounce anyone who chooses to identify with it."

Lisa Wade, a sociology professor at Occidental, published an essay for Public Books calling for people to "attack masculinity directly" to help the nation survive in the wake of President Trump, who she says perpetuates a "vile enactment of masculinity."

"The problem is not toxic masculinity; it's that masculinity is toxic."

Comment: What utter insanity is it that a university professor in charge of teaching young adults could be so far gone to think not only that 'masculinity is an idea', but that it can be 'done away with'! Oh, what crazy times!
