The Canarians Are Suffering an Invasion

In the following video, Antonio Fúster, the national spokesman for the Spanish anti-immigration party Vox, talks to the press during his visit to Tenerife.

The Canary Islands are in the midst of a massive migration crisis, with culture-enrichers swarming and overwhelming the asylum reception facilities. African “refugees” see the Canaries as their gateway to the European Union, where everyone knows they can get money for nothing and the chicks are free.

Papers, Please: “You No Longer Have the Right to Say No”

The long-awaited European Vaccination Card (EVC) is finally here — the pilot project is about to be rolled out in five countries. What was considered a “conspiracy theory” a few years ago is now a publicly acknowledged fact.

The following video from The Netherlands discusses the implementation of the new digital vaccination card, more commonly known as a “vax passport”. As expected, it is being marketed for its “convenience”. Some of its notable features are:

  • It can’t be falsified. Unlike the “yellow booklet”, it can’t be faked. Or, more accurately, it will be much harder to fake — you’ll have to pay a lot of money to a technically savvy accomplice (or a skilled hacker) to spoof a digital vaccine passport for you.
  • It will be mandatory. It will no longer be optional; you will have to have an EVC if you want to travel. Yes, that violates the European Charter on the Fundamental Rights of the EU, but we don’t need no stinkin’ fundamental rights, do we?
  • Vaccination records are just the beginning. The new passport will be expanded to include all health data, and will presumably eventually be merged with the Universal Digital ID.
  • Centralized control is being removed from Brussels and transferred to the WHO. Like it or not, the UN is now in charge of the health of European citizens.

An American version will probably take a little longer to implement, but I’m certain the Powers That Be are working on it. It may take another “pandemic” to get the ball rolling. Or maybe a little bit of nuclear war, just to make sure.

Pale Rain-Flawed Phantom of the Place

When I came across the above photo in my search for images to use for a header to Fjordman’s recent post, it made me think of the following poem by Wilfred Owen.

The poem was written during the Great War, and depicts a scene in Edinburgh, where Owen was hospitalized. It evokes a melancholy but nostalgic atmosphere, seemingly hearkening back to idyllic Edwardian days, now lost forever.

The sinking of the Titanic, which occurred just a few years before the writing of the poem, was part of those days, and might have been the “news of all the nations” peddled by the pale rain-flawed news boy in Princes Street:

Six O’Clock in Princes Street

by Wilfred Owen

In twos and threes, they have not far to roam,
Crowds that thread eastward, gay of eyes;
Those seek no further than their quiet home,
Wives, walking westward, slow and wise.

Neither should I go fooling over clouds,
Following gleams unsafe, untrue,
And tiring after beauty through star-crowds,
Dared I go side by side with you;

Or be you in the gutter where you stand,
Pale rain-flawed phantom of the place,
With news of all the nations in your hand,
And all their sorrows in your face.

Gang Rape as an Expression of the Power of an Islamic State

Posted on by

Islam is like a prison gang, but without the prison.

Most Islamic cultures keep women secluded and/or under guard by their male relatives. Wealthier men amass multiple wives and sex slaves, which means that the poorer guys have to do without. Which also means that when the lesser males have “sexual emergencies”, other males — especially young boys — are the ones who have to take up the slack.

When it comes to the expression of power and dominance, the resemblance to prison culture really kicks in. In the Islamic world, a man who is lower in the hierarchy is punished and humiliated by being raped by the more powerful, dominant men.

The following video reports on an incident in North Rhine-Westphalia, when an Iranian man was gang-raped by a group of other Iranians (who reportedly have Danish and Dutch citizenship). The victim was publicly critical of the Islamic Republic of Iran, so it’s quite possible that his total humiliation may have been ordered by the regime in Tehran.

If At First You Don’t Secede, Try Again

Posted on by

I’ve written in the past about the Greater Idaho movement, whose goal is the secession of a number of counties in eastern Oregon and their merger with Idaho, their eastern neighbor.

Oregon is not the only state where counties are looking to secede: a group of counties in southern Illinois wants to escape the death grip of the Chicago metropolitan area. According to the website Red-State Secession (“Preserving the American parts of America”), seven counties in southern Illinois are voting on whether to secede:

Seven Counties Will Vote on Splitting Illinois

Illinois Separation, the main organization behind the movement to split Illinois into two states, showed surprising strength last week. Friday was the last day for the Illinois State Board of Elections to certify candidates and public questions for inclusion on the 2024 general election ballot. Illinois Separation, in a Facebook post, revealed that seven counties will vote then on this ballot question: “Shall the Board of ____ County correspond with the boards of other counties of Illinois outside of Cook about the possibility of separating from Cook County to form a new state, and to seek admission to the Union as such, subject to the approval of the people?” The question is non-binding.

The seven counties are listed below. In Calhoun and Greene counties, citizens forced the question onto the ballot by collecting the number of valid signatures required by state law. In the other five counties, county boards unanimously or near-unanimously voted to add the question to the ballot.

In 2020-2022, 26 and a half counties voted in favor of such questions, and none voted in opposition. The counties averaged 74% in favor. With the partial county, Madison County, voting as a whole on the topic this year, the number of counties voting in favor of the proposal could reach 33. Illinois has 101 counties.

The possibility that downstate Illinois could become a new state increased recently when Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed openness to next year ending the ability of minorities to block Senate legislation using a filibuster. It’s conceivable that Democrats could trade statehood for Washington DC or Puerto Rico in return for statehood for downstate Illinois. It seems unlikely though, since the motivation for the movement for statehood for Washington DC seems to be mostly to lessen the Republican advantage in the Senate and in the electoral college.

Constitutionally, any deal to make downstate Illinois into a state would require approval from the Illinois General Assembly. Downstate Illinois legislators haven’t garnered support from upstate legislators for their bills that would advance the proposal, even though it would benefit upstate Illinois fiscally. The only region of the state that pays more than its share in state taxes are the collar counties around Chicago, according to a Southern Illinois University analysis.

Even downstate Illinois lawmakers sometimes shy away from the idea, as many of their donors reside in upstate Illinois.

Drawing a Bead on Jesus

Posted on by

Sanija Ameti is a Bosnian Muslim who lives in Switzerland. Her parents were refugees who fled the Yugoslavian wars in the 1990s and settled in the Zurich area when Sanija was a small child. Her adopted home has been kind to her: she is now a well-known activist and provocateur, and is the vice president of the Zurich Liberal Greens Party.

Or was vice president, until one of her provocations got her into a spot of bother last Sunday. It seems that Ms. Ameti was doing a little target practice with her gun, and just happened to tear out a page from an art catalogue to use as a target. The only problem was that the page featured a photo of an icon of the Virgin Mary and Jesus, both of whom got riddled with bullets.

Whoops.

Ms. Ameti claimed she had no idea her target had religious significance until afterwards, and apologized profusely. It did her no good; she was forced to resign as vice president, and may end up being expelled from the Liberal Greens Party. Evidently there are some iconoclasms that are too much even for the Greens.

Covid-19: All Lies. All Crime. — Chapter 19

Posted on by

Below is the 19th and final chapter in the serialization of Paul Weston’s book Covid-19: All Lies. All Crime. Previously: Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18.

Covid-19: All Lies. All Crime.

by Paul Weston

Chapter 19: Afterword

The sole purpose of this small book was to show, in as few words as possible, that there was no lethal Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, and that the vaccines were completely unnecessary, horrifically dangerous and, astonishingly / criminally ineffective in every possible way a vaccine is supposed to be effective.

There is so much more to say about this crime of the century, but to do so would require much more than one book. The roles played by Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci, for example, could fill an entire bookshelf.

The details laid out in this book are not just my opinion; they are taken from data sites owned by governments and health regulation agencies. They are true. And if they are true, then everything we were told (and continue to be told) about Covid-19 is a lie.

Tragically — and criminally — the people lying to us are those whose specific job it is to look after our best interests. The politicians, the doctors, the health regulatory agencies, the mainstream media, the Fact Check agencies, the World Health Organisation, the EU, the UN, and the social media giants such as Facebook and YouTube.

All of these people and organisations amassed money and power during the Covid-19 purported pandemic. This money and power resulted purely from lying to and betraying the citizens of nations worldwide.

In America, the Food & Drug Agency (FDA) only released Pfizer’s data on vaccine harms because it was forced to do so by a court order. Also in America, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to recommend that pregnant women and babies receive mRNA booster shots, whilst simultaneously fighting court cases to prevent the release of data they hold which catalogues massive numbers of vaccine harms.

The same thing is happening in every single Western country, where every single health regulation agency is doing the exact same thing. The levels of corruption are vast. As are the wicked and murderous crimes they are engaged in. The CDC’s motto, incidentally, is: Saving Lives. Protecting People.

Islamic Influence In the U.S. Government — Kamala Harris Would Pick Up Where Joe Biden Left Off

The following report by Clare Lopez was published earlier this month by Sharia TipSheet.

Islamic Influence In the U.S. Government — Kamala Harris Would Pick Up Where Joe Biden Left Off

by Clare M. Lopez

We’ll cover a few categories here this month: the Biden-Harris continuing appeasement of the Islamic regime in Iran, questionable USG decisions on national security matters, and also some questionable appointments and associations of the Harris-Walz campaign team.

This first set of reports highlights the lack of national security rigor at the top levels of the Biden-Harris administration. The pattern seems to favor passes for U.S. adversaries including Iran, Turkey, and the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood network.

“Why Did Pentagon Allow Turkish Muslim Citizen Access to Highly Classified Docs?” by Daniel Greenfield at Jihad Watch, August 15, 2024

“Biden regime names Mohamed Elsanousi of Hamas-linked ISNA to US Commission on International Religious Freedom” by Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch, August 12, 2024

  • We’ll recall, of course, that the Biden administration appointed former ISNA president and longtime imam at the Muslim Brotherhood’s ADAMS Center, Imam Mohamed Magid, to the same Commission in August 2022. And unfortunately, it was during the Trump administration in July 2017 that Governor Sam Brownback of Kansas was named Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom. His connections to prominent Muslim Brotherhood figures are well-documented.

Now, we include a few items here about some questionable associations and appointments by currently-serving Vice President Kamala Harris and her presidential campaign’s VP running mate, MN Governor Tim Walz.

“Kamala Harris’s Philip Gordon: Inconspicuous and influential” by Shahram Kholdi at Iran International, 08/09/2024

  • The questions here are about Gordon’s possible connections to the Iranian regime’s Iran Experts Initiative influence operations network. These are questions currently being investigated by Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY).

No, Starmer, the Solingen Stabbings Were Not “Senseless”

Posted on by

To say that an act of jihad terrorism is “senseless” is to obfuscate the issue of motive. It deflects attention away from what the jihad actually means.

Michael Copeland sends this timely reminder.

No, Starmer, the Solingen stabbings were not “senseless”

by Michael Copeland

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer described the Solingen stabbings as “senseless” while the media said the victims were “random”.

They were neither: The killer is Muslim, the victims non-Muslim. That is the salient distinction.

The attack was subsequently claimed by the Islamic State, who had, years ago, put out a call for Muslims to kill non-Muslims —”Kafirs”— howsoever they can, by stabbing, hitting with a rock, running over with a car and so on. The Solingen stabbings were Jihad.

“Jihad”, explains the manual of Islamic Law ‘Reliance of the traveller’, “means to war against non-Muslims”, and is a “communal obligation” [o9.0 and o9.1].

The pattern is well-established. It is self-evident with all the high profile attacks, 9/11, London Underground, Beslan, Madrid trains, the Bataclan, Manchester Arena, and any number of lesser stabbings, van rammings and so on. It is not difficult to spot. The killer was, as Lt. Col. Allen West puts it, “doing exactly what this book says.” The Koran instructs “Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them” [9:5], and “fight the unbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you” [9:123].

The Koran is not arranged chronologically. Chapter 9 is the latest revelation, and as such overrides and “abrogates” all peaceful verses elsewhere.

All of its text forms part of Islamic law. Denying any verse brings the death penalty, which can be exacted vigilante-style by anyone. There is no legal repercussion “since it is killing someone who deserves to die” [manual o8.7(7)].

As for motive, some insight may be gained from the Reading Park killer, an observant Muslim who targeted men who were not only Kafirs, but in same-sex relationships, forbidden by Islam. “I’m going to Paradise for the Jihad what I did to them,” he said. Where did he learn that teaching? From the mosque, of course.
