Western fascism: Russia banned from 2018 Winter Olympics

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has suspended the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) from 2018 Olympics, ruling that "clean" Russian athletes can only compete under a neutral flag in South Korea in February.

The decision comes following a panel hearing on the results of investigations involving Russia being accused of doping violations. On Tuesday, the IOC Executive Board was presented with the findings of the Commission led by the former President of Switzerland, Samuel Schmid.

Having "held hearings with all the main actors" and "gathered evidence and information," the commission accused Russia of "the systemic manipulation of the anti-doping rules and system in Russia, through the Disappearing Positive Methodology and during the Olympic Winter Games Sochi 2014." Its findings also confirm "various levels of administrative, legal and contractual responsibility," the IOC statement said.

The executive board also ruled that no officials from Russia's sport ministry will be allowed accreditation for the Winter Games in PyeongChang. Russia's former sports minister, Vitaly Mutko and his then deputy, Yury Nagornykh, have been banned "from any participation in all future Olympic Games." ROC President, Aleksandr Zhukov, has been suspended as an IOC member.

Comment: Not only is this a humiliating and politicized decision by the IOC, but they also showed how petty and low they were by deciding to give the Russian delegation a copy of the Schmid report on Russian doping just minutes before the delegation is set to meet with the IOC executive committee and defend themselves against the findings of the report. Clearly the IOC did not want the Russians to be able to make any kind of real defense. The IOC is showing itself to be a tool of Western political interests who are intent on making Russia look bad in whatever way they can.

Liberal tears over Trump tweets underscore their nauseating hypocrisy

There is no more unedifying a sight than the sight of the Western liberal establishment rushing to seize the moral high ground. Like a pack of hungry dogs presented with food, Western liberals, desperate to bolster their misplaced sense of exceptionalism and virtue, become positively deranged whenever the opportunity to do so presents itself.

Thus we have the feeding frenzy in response to Trump retweeting anti-Muslim tweets sent out by the far right political organization Britain First in the UK.

Though they are a small marginal group in the scheme of things, Britain First is known for being clever in its use of social media, working to achieve a ubiquitous presence that far outweighs its size or support. As such, they will no doubt be delighted at having achieved the tacit endorsement of the President of the United States.

Comment: Liberals make use of a 'compassionate' image toward Muslims precisely because it allows them to commit crimes against this population while still feeling good about themselves. This deception attempts to cover their tracks as fundamentally 'good and decent folk', which unfortunately is believed by many.

sam seder polanski tweet
MSNBC is set to cut ties with its contributor Sam Seder after an offensive tweet Seder posted in 2009 resurfaced this past week, according to an exclusive report from The Wrap.

In the tweet, which has since been deleted, Seder wrote "Dont care re Polanski, but i hope if my daughter is ever raped it is by an older truly talented man w/ a great sense of mise en scene":


The Wrap reported that the decision not to renew Seder's contract resulted from the tweet. A source familiar with the situation told The Wrap that "Internally there was disgust over the tweet."

The tweet from Seder came during a time when many in Hollywood were demanding Polanski be allowed to return to the United States.

If Seder's tweet was a joke, it just shows how tone-deaf he is to what most people consider normal behavior. If it was serious, well, it's just amazing it took 8 years for anyone to notice... But then again, maybe that kind of thinking is normal in Seder's milieu:

Hungarian FM - 'Illegal migration led to terror in EU, needs to be stopped'

Budapest has dismissed the possibility of compromise with the EU on the migrant rehousing issue, rejecting the proposed plan on "fair share" distribution of asylum seekers, designed to replace the mandatory quota system.

"Hungary's view on migration is clear and rock steady: We think illegal immigration is dangerous. Because of illegal immigration, Europe has never had to face the kind of terror threat it faces now," Szijjarto told a news conference with ministers and officials from Eastern and Southern Europe.

The foreign minister stressed that any sort of "encouragement"for further migrant arrivals was against the interests of Europe, while the only acceptable solution for Hungary was stopping the illegal migration as far from the EU's borders as possible.

Fox News' Tucker Carlson interviewed a professor Monday and compared higher education's support of open borders for America with their own admission policies.

The Daily Caller co-founder told Johns Hopkins University professor Wendy Osefo, "I'm hearing on college campuses that you can't keep people out of this country just because they don't know anything, or can speak your language, or don't have any money. You have to let them in and if you don't you're a racist."

Pedophiles targeting young children online using live-streaming sites

People like 'Sam' are sneaking past internet filters and parental locks to abuse British children. In just one week police arrested nearly 200 sex pests, more than a quarter for blackmail, grooming, or using live streaming to target children.

In their week-long crackdown, UK police and the National Crime Agency protected 245 children from sexual abuse. The National Police Chief Council lead for Child Protection, Chief Constable Simon Bailey, said police and targeted forces arrested 192 offenders on suspicion of child sexual abuse offences.

"We will keep working together to do this, adapting our approach so that nowhere online is safe for people out to groom children or view them being abused," Bailey said. "But we also need help. We need internet companies to help us stop access to sexual abuse images and videos and prevent abuse happening on their platforms. We need parents and carers to talk to their children about healthy relationships and staying safe online."

Police and NCA intelligence indicates that dangerous offenders are lurking online and taking advantage of the immediate nature of live-streaming offers. Social media networks such as Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube all feature some sort of live-stream capability - but it isn't the standard social networks that parents need to watch out for. Some services are exclusively devoted to live streaming, such as Omegle, Liveme, Lively and Periscope.

Gaming the system: Chinese 'brushers' illegally flooding American mailboxes with unordered parcels - and they can't stop them

Unordered items that Chinese e-brushers are sending to Americans
Heaven McGeehan awoke one morning to find an unexpected package from China delivered to her Pennsylvania home. It was a small epacket -- a special subsidized shipping option that the USPS offers Chinese merchants, effectively enabling them to ship a parcel from China to the U.S. for less than it costs to send that same parcel domestically -- and when she opened it she found a small handful of black hair ties with cheap plastic hearts that had the word "Phoenix" emblazoned upon them.

She was bewildered. The package was clearly addressed to her -- her name was correct and so was her address -- but she wasn't the one who placed the order and had no idea why someone in China would send it to her.

Then the following day it happened again: another unordered package from China arrived containing the same item. Then it happened again the following day, and again, and again, and again without end until the small, unsolicited parcels began piling up in McGeehan's home.

"I receive at least one a day, sometimes multiple," she explained.

Postmodern art exhibit leads to public outrage for depicting terrorists as martyrs

Visitors to an art installation in Berlin, called the "Martyr Museum," were stunned to see images of jihadists who carried out terrorist attacks in Paris and New York; the French embassy and social network users have reacted to the exhibition with shock and consternation, while an AfD politician has launched criminal proceedings.

The exhibition displays images of famous martyrs such as Martin Luther King, Maximilian Kolbe and the Greek philosopher Socrates, along with images of Paris attacker Omar Ismail Mostefai and 9/11 terrorist Mohammed Atta.

Comment: It should be pretty obvious for most why depicting Mohammed Atta alongside MLK is absurd, offensive, and an altogether bad idea. The artist insists he's just misunderstood. More likely, he derives a sense of pleasure and power by disturbing people with outrageous provocations. That's pretty much what 'modern art' is all about.

A Florida man is charged with making a violent written threat after school officials found a rudimentary drawing of a gunman shooting people outside a burning school on a kid's homework, authorities said.

The man, Robert Paul Alexander Edwards, 33, of Mexico Beach, Fla., was arrested Friday on a charge of making a written threat to kill or do bodily injury, a second-degree felony, Gulf County Sheriff Mike Harrison said Monday.

Edwards is being held on $150,000 bond pending a Jan. 2 hearing in Gulf County Circuit Court. If he is convicted, he could face as long as 15 years in prison and a fine of $10,000.

Harrison said he had no reason to believe that Edwards intended to carry through on the implied threat, which staff found in the homework of a student at Port St. Joe Elementary School in the town of Port St. Joe.

Students at Notre Dame call for removal of "racist" Columbus murals

Hundreds of Notre Dame students, staff and alumni are calling on the university president to remove murals of Christopher Columbus from the campus as they depict "the most debasing form of insult" in their portrayal of Native Americans and black people.

Around 600 protesters signed an open letter published in the university's student newspaper, the Observer, opposing the artwork. Branding Columbus an "owner and distributor of humans as slaves," the letter said that the murals "commemorate and laud the beginning of the centuries-long systematic removal of Native American persons and culture from the United States."

"The Native persons are depicted as stereotypes, their destruction is gilded over and their slavery is celebrated," the letter reads.

According to the protesters, African slaves are depicted "comically, and Columbus' incipient role in the buying and selling of humans as chattel is depicted as a holy and Christian act."

"It is time for the murals to go," the letter declares, adding that the paintings are "greeting millions of campus residents and visitors with a highly problematic vision of Western triumphalism, Catholic militarism and an overly romantic notion of American expansion."
