Every Woman Has a Right to Have Her Scrotum Waxed

Jessica Yaniv trans
Refusing to wax a woman's balls is transphobia at its most blatant... and yet here we are, in 2019, still disrespecting trans women's rights by denying them a smooth nutsack.

I'm referring of course to the recent publicity surrounding Jessica Yaniv, a stunning and brave trans woman who has filed complaints against more than a dozen female waxers with the Human Rights Council in British Columbia. And what is the justification these women have attempted to make in order to disguise their obvious bigotry? Well, among other flimsy excuses, 'religious grounds' (the majority of these women are immigrants) and the bizarre claim from one of them that her husband feared for her safety due to the fact that she works from home and has small children to take care of. What on earth does a woman have to fear from a 200+ lbs trans woman who is simply asking to come round to her home and have the hairs removed from her testicle satchel?

'Wrong victims' of Syria war left voiceless by mainstream media, condemn West for their suffering

Now that the Syrian Arab Army and allies have swept much of Syria clean of the terrorist groups introduced into the country by the US interventionist alliance, the civilian trauma is surfacing and is being processed.

In 2005, playwright Harold Pinter's Nobel Prize acceptance speech sent shock waves around the ruling establishment. During the speech, Pinter described the US strategy of "low intensity" conflict:
"Low intensity conflict means that thousands of people die but slower than if you dropped a bomb on them in one fell swoop. It means that you infect the heart of the country, that you establish a malignant growth and watch the gangrene bloom."
The West established the malignant growth in Syria and the wider region, the terrorist groups are a cancer that the Syrian Arab Army and the people of Syria have been battling to contain and cauterize before it spreads to the rest of the world. The gangrene can be perceived as the trauma, the effects of this externally-fomented conflict upon the Syrian people.

Political pawns? Wives of French police officers demand govt action amid suicide epidemic

Rising street violence coupled with government inaction has created intolerable conditions for France's police force, according to wives of officers who spoke with Ruptly. Their concerns come amid a spike in police suicides.

Weekly Yellow Vest demonstrations against President Emmanuel Macron's austerity measures have strained France's police force, which was already experiencing fatigue due to personnel and funding shortages. So far this year, 37 cases of suicide have been reported among French police, compared with 35 cases in all of 2018.

For the spouses of serving officers, the mounting stress has become unbearable.

Former assistant US attorney Mimi Rocah claimed that Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders "makes [her] skin crawl" and suggested he's not a "pro-woman candidate" while appearing on MSNBC.

Rocah was part of a panel previewing the upcoming second round of Democratic debates on MSNBC's Up with David Gura. During a discussion about a likely face-off between Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, Rocah made her rather caustic comments.

"[A]s a woman, probably considered a somewhat moderate Democrat, I... Bernie Sanders makes my skin crawl. And I can't even identify for you what exactly it is. But I see him as sort of a not pro-woman candidate," Rocah said, adding that she hopes the juxtaposition of Sanders and Warren appearing against each other in the debates will win more voters over to her side.

Chinese investment in the US plummeted 88% since Trump took office

convention
Growing distrust between the United States and China has slowed the once steady flow of Chinese cash into America, with Chinese investment plummeting by nearly 90% since President Donald Trump took office.

The falloff, which is being felt broadly across the economy, stems from tougher regulatory scrutiny in the United States and a less hospitable climate towards Chinese investment, as well as Beijing's tightened limits on foreign spending.

It is affecting a range of industries, including Silicon Valley startups, the Manhattan real estate market and state governments that spent years wooing Chinese investment, underscoring how the world's two largest economies are beginning to decouple after years of increasing integration.

Detective says Jeff Epstein lost sexual interest in girls once they 'lost their braces'

Jeffrey Epstein lost all sexual interest in his alleged victims as soon as they "lost their braces and their pubescent look," according to a former cop who's been investigating the convicted pedophile for more than a decade.

But Epstein still found a way for the "too old" teens to help satisfy his perverted appetite — by finding "younger girls" who were more his type, ex-detective Michael Fisten told CNN.

"Once these girls lost their braces and their pubescent look and started becoming 16-years old or 17-years old, they were too old for him, so then he started using them as recruiters to bring the younger girls," he said.

Fisten began investigating the multimillionaire financier in 2009 for lawyer Brad Edwards, who represents several women who claim Epstein abused them when they were underage.

"I started going out and interviewing witnesses that became victims," Fisten told CNN. "One after another, three girls turned into four girls, turned into five, six, seven and so on...I couldn't help but think that this could've been my daughter or your daughter or my next-door neighbor's daughter."

In the interview, Fisten alleged that Epstein hired "former Miami cops" to try to frighten his accusers into silence.

The failure to stand up for conservative thinking is leading us into a new cultural dark age

historian Norman Stone

The late historian Norman Stone
The intellectual scene always used to have room for great minds from the Right. Today they would be denounced for thought crime by a Left that cannot tolerate dissent

British intellectual life has always made room for the conservative voice. From Burke and Hume to Maitland and Oakeshott, British philosophers have offered a continuous reflection on our social and cultural inheritance, with a view to understanding the fundamental idea on which conservatism has been founded - the idea of belonging.

They have insisted that the goal of our earthly life is not to remake the world but to belong to it, and that the true political virtues are patience, understanding and humility rather than indignation or revolutionary rage.

Hand grenades among weapons found as neo-Nazi cell bust continues in Italy

Italian police seized a new cache of weapons and Nazi materials during a raid on an underground far-right group linked with the conflict in Ukraine. The bust is tied to an earlier raid in which an air-to-air missile was found.

Last week, the General Investigations and Special Operations Division (DIGOS) found a cache of 20 firearms, an air-to-air missile, and Nazi memorabilia. Police arrested three suspects, including Fabio Del Bergiolo, a former customs officer and one-time failed Senate candidate from the neo-fascist Forza Nuova party.

On Friday, a Turin-based counter-terrorism unit raided Del Bergiolo's second residence in Massa Carrara province. Police found a rifle with two magazines and a tripod used for shooting, a handgun, a compound bow with 13 darts, a crossbow pistol, and a machete. Various ammunition was also discovered at the scene, as well as hand grenades and mortar bombs.

Comment: Under the new government Italy certainly seems to be cleaning house:

Hong Kong police use tear gas, rubber bullets as protesters target Chinese govt office

Protesters run from tear gas amid clashes with police in Hong Kong, China, on July 21, 2019.
Tens of thousands of people once again took to the streets of Hong Kong to protest an unpopular extradition bill. A Chinese government office was targeted in the rallies, which ended in clashes with police.

About 400,000 people turned out for yet another protest in Hong Kong, according to the organizers' estimates, while police put the number at 138,000. The people continue to voice their anger over a controversial bill that envisages sending criminal suspects to mainland China, as well as the heavy-handed police response to the previous rallies.


Crowds of people marched through the city chanting slogans critical of the police and the local government. Thousands disregarded the designated march route and surrounded the Chinese government liaison office.

There, they spray-painted over the lenses of security cameras, wrote graffiti on the walls and defaced the lettering on the office gate. Some burned piles of garbage on the streets outside. Police pushed them back to the financial district, where clashes erupted.

Comment: The bill which triggered (pun intended) the latest round of MI6 and CIA-sponsored protests was set to 'crack down' on the cesspit of white collar crime that is 'old Hong Kong'. HSBC, one of the world's largest banks, stands for Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. Established in London, but 'off-shored' in HK, it is the preferred bank of terrorists, drug cartels, pedophile networks and every other class of 'elite' scumf*ck on Earth.

The British flag-waving liberal-SJWs the western media is lauding are HK's equivalent of 'the Resistance' in the US. That the authorities in Beijing and HK are NOT crushing the movement tells you the situation is in the inverse of the Yellow Vest movement in France, where an actually popular movement is brutally suppressed by liberal-SJW elites.
