Despite protests from German businesses, Merkel pushes for new sanctions
The Committee on Eastern European Economic Relations has used unusually strong wording to protest against the EU's extension of sanctions against Russia. The Committee praises Russia and and at the same time, puts an end to the fairytail that trade with Ukraine could compensate for the losses incurred with Russia.

Today and tomorrow (19, 20 December), representatives of the 28 EU member countries will come together to decide, among other things, another six-month extension of the economic sanctions against Russia. The Chairman of the Committeeon Eastern European Economic Relations, Eckhard Cordes, spoke on this topic as well as the planned January 1stimplementation of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA).

The average negative attitude in the EU toward immigration stands at 59 percent, according to the Eurobarometer. Immigration has consolidated its top position as the main concern for Europeans in November, an EU poll revealed on Wednesday, Sputnik reported.

"Immigration has consolidated its place as the most important issue facing the EU for Europeans, and has become the first concern at the national level," the Standard Eurobarometer survey (EB84) stated.

Over 100,000 monthly arrivals were registered as the EB84 gathered its data on November 7-17. The European Commission requests and coordinates the survey.

"The fear of terrorism is also still rising, and terrorism is now seen as the second most important issue facing the EU," Eurobarometer indicated.

Slovakia, Latvia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Estonia expressed the most opposition to migration from outside the bloc at over 80 percent, with EU-wide negative views at 59 percent. Around 90 percent across the EU support additional measures to combat illegal immigration.

Comment: Now will be a good time for all this people to learn a thing or two about Political Ponerology by Andrew Lobaczewski:
The first phase of macrosocial disease, i.e. social hysterization, is the opening through which pathocracy manifests. Such a period of societal spiritual crisis is associated with the exhausting of the ideational, moral, and religious values heretofore nourishing the society in question. Individuals and groups grow increasingly self-serving, and the links of moral duty and social networks loosen. People become concerned with trifling things, ignoring more important issues such as commitment to the future, or involvement in public matters.

The most characteristic feature of such a period is widespread hysteria, like that of the quarter century in Europe preceding WWI. "Happy" times of peace are necessarily dependant on social injustice, and children of the privileged class learn early to repress ideas that they and their families are benefiting from the injustice of others. Such unconscious defense mechanisms cause these individuals to disparage the values of those whose work they exploit. These processes lead to an hysterical state of inhibited logic and reasoning. This rigidity of thought then gets passed on to the next generation to an even greater degree.

The hysterical patterns finally get passed from the ruling class to the less privileged classes. This characteristic contempt for factual criticism, for normal thought patterns and nations, obviates the need for media censorship. A pathologically hypersensitive censor lives within each citizen. This has been repeatedly demonstrated by the American media in relation to the omissions and distortions of the Kean-Zelikow 911 Commission Report, the propaganda leading to the Iraq war, the death toll of Iraqi citizens, the reality in Palestine.

"When three "egos" govern - egoism, egotism, and egocentrism - the feeling of social links and responsibility toward others disappear, and the society in question splinters into groups ever more hostile to each other. When a hysterical environment stops differentiating the opinions of limited, not-quite-normal people from those of normal, reasonable persons, this opens the door for activation of the pathological factors of a various nature to enter in." (Lobaczewski, 177)

This hysteroidal phase is often followed by a period of war, revolution, genocide, and the fall of empires: pathocracy.

A small paramilitary aircraft crashed outside New Delhi's main airport on Tuesday, killing all 10 people on board.

The chartered twin-engine plane went up in flames after slamming into a wall shortly after take-off from the Indian capital's Indira Gandhi International airport.

The Super King aircraft, which was heading from New Delhi to the eastern city of Ranchi, was carrying two pilots and eight technicians belonging to India's Border Security Force.

"It's a matter of grave concern that the plane crashed soon after take-off," Mahesh Sharma, the junior civil aviation minister, told reporters.

U.S. border control agent viciously beats elderly couple for rendering aid to his injured wife

Carol and Richard LaDue, police brutality
On the night of December 4, Carol LaDue and her husband Richard were travelling along County Route 37 near Massena, when they saw an injured woman lying in the road.

The woman was 33-year-old Ashley McDonald, who'd just been hit by a car and was dying.

As the couple got out of their vehicle to render aid to McDonald, they were savagely attacked by McDonald's husband, Bryan, a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

Out of nowhere, the off-duty public servant rushes in on the Good Samaritans and begins brutally beating this elderly couple. The LaDues were nearly killed by this out of control maniac.

"I think he would have beat her to death, I really do, because there was no stopping the man. He was just out of control and very, very aggressive," said Richard.

Richard suffered a broken nose and multiple lacerations, while his wife suffered a concussion, sprained hand, bruises and a massive head wound.

Comment: The following article gives a lengthy list of recent incidences of police brutality - and this list is by no means comprehensive. The epidemic of brutal and inexplicable conduct by law enforcement officials and their almost complete impunity from any repercussions clearly indicates a systemic problem with the police force nationwide.

When exposed as protest infiltrators undercover cops in Montreal go on the attack, pull gun

Katie Nelson, slammed to the ground for confronting undercover cop
At least four undercover police officers were caught attempting to infiltrate a protest this week, and one of them reportedly pulled a gun on protesters when he was confronted about his identity. According to The Link Newspaper, one Concordia student, Katie Nelson approached an undercover officer suspiciously and asked him about his identity, and he reacted by slamming her to the ground. The young girl ended up being hospitalized as a result of the attack.

Nelson and another protester by the name of Zachary Savard told The Link that one of the officers pulled a gun on them when he was confronted about being an agent.

"As we came to them, they just took a gun out, and said move," Savard said.

Meanwhile, other undercover agents on the scene grabbed a random protester from the crowd and drug him to a parking lot where they arrested him.

Comment: These types of occurrences have now become commonplace. For policemen to act so aggressively, their superiors must not only have given them a mandate to clamp-down on peaceful assemblages, but the stormtroopers most probably have also been given carte blanche to behave violently to law-abiding people. Viscous. Cruel. Unlawful.

Sorry West, the Syrian people have chosen - Assad isn't going anywhere

On Sunday Syria's President Bashar al Assad went with his wife Asma to a Christmas Mass concert in Damascus. For many people in the West, the photos that soon appeared of Bashar and Asma hugging and being hugged by small children, old men and young women would probably cause consternation or apoplexy - if they were to see them.

But this is unlikely, as Western media would exercise its duty of care to protect people from such an upsetting sight, and the public disorder that might result. It shouldn't worry however that people's perception of the Syrian leader might change for the better; it is simply not possible for this to happen, any more than it is possible that Syrians would change their minds about President Assad.

The Western media apparatus has strange standards of propriety - often finding it necessary to obscure the images of the wrong people. When some footage emerged of the now infamous 'heart-eating rebel', it was not his face which was blurred out to protect his identity but the body of the poor Syrian soldier this 'freedom fighter' had just disembowelled.

Showing how little things have changed in the two years since that event - one that should have been a 'wake-up call' for the 'Free Syrian Army's' Western cheers squads - we saw a repeat of it only weeks ago following the shooting down of Russia's bomber by Turkey. In deeply shocking footage of the Turkish insurgents celebrating over the bloodied body of the Russian pilot they had just murdered, it was his identity our media chose to protect us from. And those media - CNN Turk and Fox news - had no compunctions about revealing the identity of the leader of this group despite it spoiling their whole story, as he was immediately identified as not even Syrian, and anything but a 'moderate rebel'.

Brainwashing young minds: UK using Muslim radicalization fear tactic to crack down on homeschooling

free range children, homeschool
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan of the UK has recently voiced concerns that children are not receiving the proper brand of brainwashing and indoctrination from the government. Morgan called for a review of homeschooling and suggested that thousands of children are being "radicalized" by their parents.

"There has always been the freedom in this country for people to educate their children at home. Many people do it very well, but we need to know where the children are and to be certain that they are safe. For every parent doing a brilliant job, there may be someone filling their child's mind with poison. We just don't know. We don't have reliable figures," a Department of Education spokesman said.

The Department said that they were also concerned about what was being taught in private Muslim schools, and that they were intending to crack down on those as well.

Comment: The public school systems in the US and the UK are failing to educate children. IQ scores have been declining, and while there are many other factors contributing to this, it appears that indoctrinating the masses to accept authoritarian world views is the primary focus of public education. A highly intelligent population, with the ability to think critically would endanger the elite control system.

Five people were injured Monday afternoon in a chemical plant fire sparked by an explosion in a chemical collection tank.

The fire at Arboris, on Tamarack Road, was reported shortly after 1:30. Newark Fire Chief Patrick Connor said five company workers and contractors were hurt, but their injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.

The fire was extinguished and emergency crews were being released about an hour after it began, Connor said.

An explosion from a collection tank, holding hexane and ethanol, appeared to have caused the blaze, he said.

It did not appear the explosion or resulting fire were caused intentionally, but the fire department's arson investigator was on scene Monday and would continue to look into the fire, said Capt. Andrew Morris. Arboris employees had also started their own internal investigation after crews cleared the scene, he said.

Food stamp beneficiaries exceed 45 million for more than 4 years

Food
The number of individuals receiving benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, otherwise known as food stamps, has exceeded 45 million for 53 straight months, according to data released by the Department of Agriculture.

There were 45,415,445 beneficiaries of the food stamp program in September 2015, the latest month for which data is available. The number declined by 48,988 from August to September.

The USDA has been tracking data on participation in the program since fiscal year 1969, at which time average participation stood at about 2,800,000. This means that since then, participation in the program has increased by roughly 16-fold.

Comment: Keep in mind there are approximately 322 million people in the USA. So 45 million people - 14% of the entire nation - are receiving government assistance for obtaining food. And we cannot sanely think that all of these people don't want to work and just want to freeload off others - there is no evidence to support that. Clearly there is a problem with the way the USA is governed when that many people cannot earn enough money to feed themselves.
