  • Globalism isnt What It Seems–Islamists are Directly Involved in the Plan to Destroy Nation States

    If you believe in nations and nationality, then Globalists see you as a direct threat to what they have planned for the future. Your refusal to consider yourself a Global Citizen is a hindrance to their plans, your failure to vote for their selected candidates is causing them more problems than they expected. Alliances are built to further common goals, and the Globalists have allied themselves to Radical Islamists because you and people like you are refusing to toe the line. To many, it seems as though the mass forced immigration of migrants from Muslim majority countries is being done...

  • China Plans $1 Trillion New ‘Silk Road’: Aims to re-create Marco Polo's ancient trade route

    BEIJING — China is aiming to re-create Marco Polo's ancient "Silk Road" that connected Europe to Asia. But instead of the camels and caravans that transported spices and silk hundreds of years ago, a $1.4 trillion network of modern trading routes would be built. On Sunday, Chinese President Xi Jinping will host 28 heads of state at the opening of a two-day summit focusing on the so-called "Belt and Road" initiative. Analysts suggest the project could shift the center of global economy and challenge the U.S.-led world order. Beijing hopes the gathering will rally international support for the plan. Xi's...

    [Reuters] Libya’s coastguard intercepted about 300 migrants packed onto a wooden boat and returned them to Tripoli on Wednesday after warning off a ship that was preparing to pick them up for passage to Europe. Footage filmed by Sea-Watch, a non-governmental organization, showed a Libyan coastguard vessel coming within meters of its own ship as it sped to stop the migrants.
  • Eurofighter delays threaten German NATO contribution: report

    Delays in adapting the Eurofighter jet for air-to-ground operations could make it impossible for Germany to fulfill its promise to contribute to NATO's rapid reaction force in 2018, a German government report seen by Reuters suggests. Originally developed for air-to-air combat, Airbus's Eurofighter was only later adapted for bombing, the role in which Germany had planned to use it next year in its contribution to the NATO Response Force. Any delay would be a blow to the German armed forces, which are in the middle of an investment program designed to strengthen their ability to play a larger role in...
  • Religious Identity Reasserts Itself in Eastern Europe

    A quarter century after the fall of Communist regimes that promoted atheism, the majority of people in most Eastern European nations identify themselves as Christian. In four nations in the region—Poland (87%), Croatia (84%), Lithuania (75%), and Hungary (56%)—the majority now identify themselves as Catholic, while in ten nations, the majority identify themselves as Orthodox, according to the Pew Research Center. In Bosnia, 52% of people are Muslim, and in the Czech Republic (72%) and Estonia (45%), large numbers of people identify themselves as religiously unaffiliated.

    The refugee crisis worldwide has become the focus of many news reports. While some cover the humanitarian efforts, the underlying story often goes untold. Many areas that are flooded with refugees see a new and emerging crisis tied to an increase in violence and crime. One such event was caught live on the news and broadcast in real time. A news reporter in Rome, Italy was brutally attacked by a group of refugees while covering the need for humanitarian efforts for the group . Correspondent Francesca Parisella was doing a live news spot about the needs of refugees at the...

    PARIS — Ever since Donald Trump proved last November that anything is possible in the topsy-turvy new world of Western politics, May 7 has been circled on European calendars with a mix of giddy anticipation and existential dread.To right-wing populists, the presidential election in France — a country scarred by unemployment and terrorism — seemed to offer the next big opportunity to remake the postwar global order in their own nationalist, nativist and protectionist image. To the mainstream, it looked like a possible third strike after Trump and Brexit — one with the potential to doom the European Union, NATO and...

    ◾"In terms of public order and internal security, I simply need to know who is coming to our country." — Austrian Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka. ◾Turkey appears determined to flood Europe with migrants either way: with Europe's permission by means of visa-free travel, or without Europe's permission, as retribution for failing to provide visa-free travel. ◾The migrants arriving in Italy are overwhelmingly economic migrants seeking a better life in Europe. Only a very small number appear to be legitimate asylum seekers or refugees fleeing warzones. ◾The director of the UN office in Geneva, Michael Møller, has warned that Europe must...

According to him, "Christianity like peas will be sprinkled in European countries." "Christians will seat quietly, will form small groups, they will be persecuted. The rehearsal has started:...

    Bureaucrats should not go about making orders they cannot enforce. It serves no purpose other than to make the bureaucrats look ridiculous. Here is a case in point: Brussels Orders EU Countries to SCRAP Internal Checks Within Six Months. “In an announcement tonight, eurocrats said there was no justification for keeping police checkpoints at frontiers within the bloc and said they must be removed by the end of the year. The diktat means that Austria, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway will all have to swiftly find alternative ways to police irregular movements of people across their borders. France, which has...

Macron claimed he was not concealing assets or holding secret offshore accounts less than a month ago.

    A new Norwegian study from the Ragnar Frisch Center for Economic Research found that migrants become less interested in integrating with Norwegians the longer they are in the country. Knut Røed, a senior researcher at the Frisch Center, explained the seemingly anomalous findings as "not as strange as we first thought. It seems that most of the migrants entering the country expected they would have to work in order to survive. After all, that's the way it is in the countries they came from. But as they realize that the government here will support them they quite rationally choose not...

    Via Breitbart, at last a clear answer to the question, “Who’s assimilating whom?”Context is important, though. Alexander van der Bellen is a leftist (of course) but his position is largely ceremonial and the country’s policy on head coverings is more restrictive than you might think from listening to him. Austria banned full-face coverings like the burqa and niqab in January; the hijab, which covers the hair and neck, is still allowed among civilians but has also been banned among civil servants like cops, judges, prosecutors, etc. Even van der Bellen reportedly supports a ban on religious dress among judges...

    March 1. More than 4,000 millionaires emigrated from Germany in 2016, compared to 1,000 millionaires who left the country in 2015, according to the 2017 Global Wealth Migration Review. Before the migration crisis erupted in 2015, millionaires were leaving Germany at the rate of only a few hundred per year. Most of Germany's millionaires, citing deteriorating security, left for Australia, Canada, the United States, Dubai and Israel. The mass exodus of wealth is hollowing out Germany's tax base at a time when the German government is spending tens of billions of euros for the upkeep of millions of refugees and...
  • Shock Report: Migrants Become Less Integrated the Longer They Stay in Europe

    A new Norwegian study has found the gap in labour participation rates between citizens born in Norway and third world migrants widens the longer newcomers have been in the country. Researchers at the Ragnar Frisch Centre for Economic Research uncovered “encouraging signs of labour market integration during an initial period upon migrants’ admission”. But after a period of just five to 10 years, according to the report, “the integration process goes into reverse with widening immigrant-native employment differentials and rising rates of immigrant social insurance dependency”.
