Europe's botched civilization, perverted by socialism and lost faith, seems to have lost the will, the passion to sustain itself. If it continues to practice today's multiculturalist leftism, Europe's demographic doom will be sealed. Some harbingers:
In Brussels, Belgium, the most popular name for baby boys is now Mohammad. Sustaining the population of a nation requires that on average each couple gives birth to 2.1 children. The average European couple now has fewer than 1.4 babies, compared to 3.6 babies born to the average Muslim immigrant couple in Europe. Across Western Europe 16 to 20 percent of babies are being born into Muslim families. In France at least 12 percent of the population is already Muslim, the fruits mostly of immigrants from former French colonies in North Africa. If present birth trends continue, by 2030 a quarter of France's people will be Muslim, more than enough to determine who controls the national parliament and executive. As this columnist recently noted, the nuclear-armed French military is already 15 percent Muslim. Adjacent Switzerland is now 20 percent Muslim. The German newspaper Deutsche Welle days ago reported that Germany's birth rate in 2005 fell to a level lower than at the end of World War II, to a "historic low," more than fifty percent lower than those of France and Great Britain. But at a meeting this week in Berlin that brought together the interior ministers of six European nations, Germany's leftwing Social Democrats continued to oppose the application of any test or standard that would restrict who could migrate into Germany.
The burgeoning Muslim population within Europe is not evenly spread. It is largely concentrated in and around big cities, whose local politicians feel its pressure acutely and often bend to that pressure. In the Netherlands the cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam nearly have Muslim majorities now.
These Islamic enclaves are already taking on the character of conquered provinces that no longer belong to the European countries around them. As FrontPage Magazine recently quoted from the new book While Europe Slept by liberal American expatriate Bruce Bawer:
In France, a public official met with an imam at the edge of Roubaix's Muslim district out of respect for his declaration of the neighborhood as Islamic territory to which she had no right of access. In Britain, imams have pressed the government to officially designate certain areas of Bradford as being under Muslim, not British, law. In Denmark, Muslim leaders have sought the same kind of control over parts of Copenhagen. And in Belgium, Muslims living in the Brussels neighborhood of Sint-Jans-Molenbeek already view it not as part of Belgium but as an area under Islamic jurisdiction in which Belgians are not welcome.

Al Qaeda wants to radicalise Western governments
By Khalid Hasan
WASHINGTON: It is Al Qaeda policy to stage terrorist incidents in the West so that Western governments turn on Muslims, which will eventually radicalise the latter, bringing them on the same ideological wavelength as the organisation that Osama Bin Laden heads.

France intervenes in Groznian revolt
Submitted by WW4 Report on Sat, 04/01/2006 - 05:39.
An elite French expeditionary force has been dispatched to Groznia, the breakaway highland region of the Central Asian republic of Kalamaristan.
snip
Meanwhile, conspiracy blogger Justin Ruppert Nimmo writes that "the so-called 'Groznian revolt' is obviously a 'false flag' operation by Mossad to lure France into a draining quagmire because she heroically stood up to Bush and the necons." He insisted that Aslan Gulbuddin Khan doesn't even exist, but is "a straw man of the Straussian neocon puppetmasters."
The respected national security think-tank Stratcom.for asserts that the real "strategic interest" behind the intervention is French investments in Groznia's mineral water resources.
snip
The anti-terrorist Williamsburg Foundation calls Groznian warlord Gulbuddin Khan "a key link in the global terror network, with sinister tentacles spanning the planet." The website says last year Interpol uncovered a complicated conspiracy involving Khan and the Russian mafia to trade black-market caviar for weapons to arm the FCLN guerillas in the Central American mini-state of Hungaragua. The FCLN, for Chilaquile National Liberation Front, took up arms in 1994 to protest Hungaragua's entry into the World Food Organization (WFO). Their main grievance is the inferior taste and texture of tortillas made from genetically-modified corn. In a recent communique they pledged to "liberate the fatherland from gringo gastro-imperialism." Monsanto is said to be lobbying heavily to have them added to the State Department list of foreign terrorist organizations. (LAX, April 1) The Williamsburg Foundation reminds readers that Hungaragua is "just one day's drive from Galveston, Texas."

Islams Imperial Dreams
Efraim Karsh
When satirical depictions of the prophet Muhammad in a Danish newspaper sparked a worldwide wave of Muslim violence early this year, observers naturally focused on the wanton destruction of Western embassies, businesses, and other institutions. Less attention was paid to the words that often accompanied the riotswords with ominous historical echoes. Hurry up and apologize to our nation, because if you do not, you will regret it, declared Khaled Mashal, the leader of Hamas, fresh from the Islamist groups sweeping victory in the Palestinian elections:
This is because our nation is progressing and is victorious. . . . By Allah, you will be defeated. . . . Tomorrow, our nation will sit on the throne of the world. This is not a figment of the imagination but a fact. Tomorrow we will lead the world, Allah willing. Apologize today, before remorse will do you no good.
Among Islamic radicals, such gloating about the prowess and imminent triumph of their nation is as commonplace as recitals of the long and bitter catalog of grievances related to the loss of historical Muslim dominion. Osama bin Laden has repeatedly alluded to the collapse of Ottoman power at the end of World War I and, with it, the abolition of the Ottoman caliphate. What America is tasting now, he declared in the immediate wake of 9/11, is only a copy of what we have tasted. Our Islamic nation has been tasting the same for more than 80 years, of humiliation and disgrace, its sons killed and their blood spilled, its sanctities desecrated. Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Ladens top deputy, has pointed still farther into the past, lamenting the tragedy of al-Andalusthat is, the end of Islamic rule in Spain in 1492.

Long but very informative article
"The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International. DSA's members are building progressive movements for social change while establishing an openly socialist presence in American communities and politics.
"At the root of our socialism is a profound commitment to democracy, as means and end. We are activists committed not only to extending political democracy but to demanding democratic empowerment in the economy, in gender relations, and in culture. Democracy is not simply one of our political values but our means of restructuring society. Our vision is of a society in which people have a real voice in the choices and relationships that affect the entirety of our lives. We call this vision democratic socialism - a vision of a more free, democratic and humane society.
We are socialists because we reject an international economic order sustained by private profit, alienated labor, race and gender discrimination, environmental destruction, and brutality and violence in defense of the status quo.
We are socialists because we share a vision of a humane international social order based both on democratic planning and market mechanisms to achieve equitable distribution of resources, meaningful work, a healthy environment, sustainable growth, gender and racial equality, and non-oppressive relationships."
Here is what "Liberty" looks like to a socialist . . .
"A democratic commitment to a vibrant pluralist life assumes the need for a democratic, responsive, and representative government to regulate the market, protect the environment, and ensure a basic level of equality and equity for each citizen. In the 21st century, such regulation will increasingly occur through international, multilateral action. But while a democratic state can protect individuals from domination by inordinately powerful, undemocratic transnational corporations, people develop the social bonds that render life meaningful only through cooperative, voluntary relationships. Promoting such bonds is the responsibility of socialists and the government alike.
"The social welfare programs of government have been for the most part positive, if partial, responses to the genuine social needs of the great majority of Americans. The dismantling of such programs by conservative and corporate elites in the absence of any alternatives will be disastrous. Abandoning schools, health care, and housing, for example, to the control of an unregulated free market magnifies the existing harsh realities of inequality and injustice."
The action agenda posted on the socialists' web site very closely parallels Agenda 21, and the recommendations of the President's Council on Sustainable Development. The web site boasts the creation of the "Progressive Caucus" in Congress, as well as the coalition that is working to promote the socialist agenda in Congress.

Saudi Arabia foiled 90 pct of attacks - minister Sat Apr 1, 8:57 AM ET
RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia has foiled about 90 percent of attacks militants had planned to carry out in the world's largest oil exporting country, a top official said in remarks published on Saturday.
ADVERTISEMENT
"This is thanks to God and to detailed security efforts and continuous tracking of terrorist cells," Interior Minister Prince Nayef told the pan-Arab Al Hayat newspaper.
Nayef declined to say when he expected Saudi forces to end militant attacks in the country, which announced this week the arrest of 40 suspected militants and the seizure of an arms cache.

Your drilled hole in the Nuclear Plant is going too far.
Davey, you have outdone yourself.
Putting all those reports in line, makes it a heart stopping
thread.
I read them and held my breath, the danger is so very large at this time.
There is no way to know what is coming or when, please all of you, pray like never before, for peace in the world and
that our government will be able to make the arrests, before something happens again like 9-11.
Thank you,
granny
Davey has given us a new thread to fill with the news of the "World Terrorism", she has topped the first thread, which we managed to place almost 5,000 posts in.
We do not plan for this to be a thread for just Davey and I to post on, please, post your finds and thoughts here too.
Ask a question, we will find the answer, if possible.
It takes all of us to find all the missing pieces to the terror puzzle.
Lurk if you must, (laughing) the Free Republic counter shows that we had thousands of lurkers on the last thread.
Thanks to Davey and welcome to all.
Note, as a rule, I do not put all your names on pings to the many articles that I post, all = you, so better bookmark now. There is a reason, my own comments box is jammed with
all my own posts, which makes it difficult to find your pings, so, please book mark us now, this will be a chock full of info thread....some of it even just for fun.

Somebody was getting ready to do something. I wonder if an alert will
go out to check all other nuke plants?<<<<
Oh, yes, the alert went out to all the plants, but what you will read in the media is "careless maintenance of nuclear plants".
Dr. Bill Wattenberg will be on in 45 minutes, maybe someone
will ask him about the drilled hole.
He is at 10pm, Pacific time tonight on KGO radio, 810 on the AM dial in the west, or for about 24 hours on the computer radio connection at: kgo.com
He should be very interesting to hear, maybe he will talk about the marches too, he always has science and survival,if there is a question on the survival, a favorite topic of his.
I keep thinking about all the holes in the Arizona gas line, that put Phoenix out of gas a year or so ago.
AND! wasn't the oil line from Alaska or Canada leaking a week or two ago, from a 'hole' that was drilled in it?
Funny, having done a tiny bit of welding, I know that there are ways to protect from sparks, never tried, but heard of,
someone, would need to be on a suicide mission, to go drilling holes in pipelines and nuclear plants.
Vel, could this be how the man in the U.K. hospital got his mystery illness?

This is the link to the "World Terrorism" first thread.
Davey started it on January 1, 2006, it has a full 3 months of news.
It is amazing at the amount of news on Free Republic, I am hearing more and more callers on the talk show radio programs say that the source for real news.
If you missed these searches, they were done with the thought in mind that we might need to know how to survive with less to work with.
I was asked a question about survival food and got a little carried
away.......several more in my mind, but am about ready for a
nap......LOL ...googling is work.....all that thinking.

Pots and pans, I prefer the fancy coated cast iron, over all
types of pots and pans or skillets.....but not for travel,
as it is a glass type coating and you don't want to stir it
or enemal pans, once the coating breaks.
I don't use the non stick teflon coatings on anything, as
I have known for over 30 years that if they burned, your
birds will die from the fumes.....and they scratch and I
don't have the right taste buds to eat teflon coatings.
Stainless steel is next best. for campfire cooking, use
the steel or plain old style cast iron, a set will not
be that expensive at walmart and camping supply stores.
I wouldn't buy the most expensive, why? better you put that
extra cost in rice and beans.
I have a set stainless stock pots that I bought through
the mail, in 2, 3, 4 gallons sizes, they would not be all
that good for the cooking on a campfire, unless you kept
stirring them, but would be lovely for boiled water, etc.

You should learn to use sourdough starter, always store
your yeast in the freezer, when bought in bulk,
there is one tablespoon of yeast in those foil packets,
I kinda use a rounded tablespoon of yeast, not heaping, as
I like the taste of yeast in bread, but not over powering.
You will not be able to buy yeast or anything, if there is
not a store........you can freeze sourdough starter, that is
what I did when I did not bake that week.
It can also be dried, but I have not done that.

WARNING--DANGER- Sourdough cooking is addictive, about in
the same class as Freeping.....and it is good for bragging.
Like (LOL) my last starter, came from a sourdough cooking
class at the Mormon Church, it was 125 years old and came
from a mining camp in Alaska........and if I am blessed,
the 10 year old package in my freezer will still be good.
I have made it from scratch, it will work, but the extra
love that went into keeping one alive for 125 years, makes
it taste better.......

Guess I might have gotten a little carried away, so won't
go on with the others that I thought up to search......
I couldn't resist this google and now wish I had time to look at it,
these are different from what I saw 3 years ago.
Keep in mind that the recipes will go well with our stored
foods, as all the good stuff was rationed during WW2.
Laughing, I took time to note some thoughts on other era's.
http://www.google.com/search?client=googlet&q=WW2%20recipes%20and%20cookbook
and one more copied:
Sourdough takes on a life of its own....
40 years ago, the State of Alaska had sourdough cookbooks,
I had one, and lost it in the moves.
There was a chocolate cake that took 2 days to make, not hard to
make,
a matter of now stir this in, it was so good.
I should be able to find the Mormon Pumpkin Sourdough Bread
recipe, that you add a jar of mincemeat to.....wonderful.
The year that we lived in Chloride, I was active in the small town, we
had a fund raiser almost every week.....
I did the cakes as usual, but then came the day that I did
not make the cakes and donated a few loaves of S.D. bread.
The old miners who lived there, asked if I would skip the
cakes in the future and donate all the bread that I could.
Read up on the starters, you can start with a basic one, as
I recall, a cup flour, a cup of water (maybe 2, to make a thick paste)
one rounded tablespoon of yeast and I add about
a teaspoon of sugar, to feed the yeast.
A crock is best, or wrap the jar in tinfoil to shut out the
light.
DO NOT USE A SEALING LID, IT WILL EXPLODE, for the days it
sets out use a good paper towel and a rubber band for a lid.
Let it set out for 3 or 4 days, till it starts to smell sour and yeasty,
then it is ok to put in the refrig, with a wax paper top.
My idea of a starter was a gallon jar glass, never use metal on it, not
even a metal spoon to stir the starter. wood is best.
reading will give you more info, but it is simple, use part,
refeed and let set out for a day and then in the refrig.

This recipe is important, we need a supply of them for Freeping strenth, has anyone made a version of them in the bread machine?
Recipe posted by West Coast Gal:
I totally agree with the teflon pans, although I have some it's probably
time to get rid of them. I love stainless steel and the ironstone like Le

These are my favorite muffins.
Moosewood Muffins
Yields 12 muffins
streusel topping (optional)
1/3 cup unbleached white flour
1 1/2 tablespoons cold butter, chopped into small pieces
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
pinch of salt
wet ingredients
6 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups chopped fruit, and/or nuts, and/or chocolate chips*
dry ingredients
2 cups unbleached white all-purpose or pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon or other spice (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350°. Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lightly oiling
the cups or placing a paper liner in each cup.
If you want a topping, mix together all of the streusel ingredients and
blend with a fork until the butter is pea-sized or smaller. Set aside. In
a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat
in the egg and then the milk and vanilla; the mixture will look lumpy.
By hand with a rubber spatula, fold in the fruit and/or nuts and/or
chocolate chips. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder,
baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, if using, and mix well. Add the wet
ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold together with a rubber
spatula without overmixing. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the batter into
each muffin cup. Sprinkle each muffin with a scant tablespoon of
streusel topping if you like.
Immediately place the muffins in the oven and bake for 30 to 35
minutes, until puffed and golden. After about 20 minutes, rotate the
muffin tin in the oven to ensure even baking.
Remove the muffins from the oven and place the tins on a rack to cool
for about 15 minutes. The hot muffins are quite soft and may fall apart
if handled right away. Serve warm or cool completely and store in a
sealed container at room temperature.

Barbarians of suburbs target French Jews
April 2, 2006
Matthew Campbell
The London Times
Paris
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2089-2114296,00.html
THE pretty schoolgirl known as Yalda wore tight white trousers and
thigh-high boots to the rendezvous. Her target, a young Jewish telephone
salesman, quickly fell under her spell. He meekly followed her when she
suggested a nightcap at her place.
It would be his last date.
The testimony of this 17-year-old femme fatale who happily offered
herself as "bait" in the kidnapping of Ilan Halimi, whose tortured body was
found on wasteland, has shocked a country which is haunted by a painful
history of anti-semitism.
Yalda's only moment of doubt came when she heard Halimi's shrieks as he
was carried away by thugs in balaclava helmets. "He screamed for two
minutes, with a high-pitched voice like a girl," she told investigators.
She soon forgot, however. On Halimi's first night in captivity, she and
her boyfriend celebrated in a hotel room paid for by the kidnappers.
Forget the French idyll portrayed in such books as A Year in Provence.
France is being forced to confront her dark side as details emerge of
horrific crimes in the suburbs.
Testimony from this grim underbelly, the immigrant banlieues --
literally "places of banishment" -- has fortified the elite's view of young
immigrants on the wrong side of the Paris ring road as "barbarians at the
gate".
For years the Parisian establishment has quaked at the prospect of
angry hordes invading their affluent heartland and last week that nightmare
came true as gangs of hooded youths robbed and bludgeoned white
students attending anti-government demonstrations.
Disquiet about the spread of barbarism across the boulevard
peripherique has been fuelled by the chilling story of Yalda.
The gang she worked for was known as "les Barbares", the Barbarians,
and included blacks, Arabs and whites from Portugal and France.
Barbarians seemed an appropriate name. The shocking cruelty inflicted
on Halimi seemed to have little to do with efforts to extract money from
his anguished family. It evoked the sadistic moral universe of A
Clockwork Orange, the novel by Anthony Burgess, with a dose of anti-semitism
thrown in.
Thanks to Yalda's charms, Halimi was imprisoned and tortured with acid
and cigarette burns for more than three weeks in the heart of a council
estate.
More than 30 neighbours in the building knew what was happening but
said nothing about the crime, part of a worrying wave of attacks against
Jews all over the country.
Besides Yalda, several women have been arrested in an investigation
into their role in botched efforts to lure other Jewish men into "honey
traps".
"He wanted a Jew," a girl called Audrey told police, referring to
Youssouf Fofana, the charismatic leader of the Barbarians, who was listed by
the girls in their telephone directories as "Youssouf the barbarian".
His choice of victims was based on two anti-semitic myths: that Jews
are all rich and that they stick together. "They're a big community,"
Fofana told Audrey. "United and willing to pay."
Audrey lost her nerve after reeling in two targets, one of whom was
rejected when it turned out that he was not a Jew. She infuriated Fofana
when she failed to follow up on her second victim. "When you start
something you have to finish it," he shouted.
Tifenn, a small, dark 19-year-old from Brittany, was also a procurer in
this macabre operation. She described herself as being less "sexy" than
the other girls and said that her role was limited to putting prettier
school friends in touch with Fofana.
Like Audrey and Yalda, Tifenn attended a boarding school on the
outskirts of Paris that was funded by social services. Yalda had been followed
by children's courts and was receiving counselling: at 13 she had been
the victim of une tournante -- as the commonplace ritual of gang rape
has come to be known in the suburbs.
Other examples of savagery in these lawless enclaves were exposed on
Friday at the trial of Jamal Derrar. He was accused of burning
17-year-old Sohane Benziane to death in 2002 in Vitry-Sur-Seine, where last
year's orgy of suburban rioting began, after she defied his order to stay
away from his "territory".
"You're frightened, huh?" he jeered, according to testimony, after
pouring petrol over her head and taking out his cigarette lighter. He lit
the lighter several times in front of her face to torment her to tears
until finally setting her alight.
"It is barbarism," Kahina, the victim's sister, said last week. "I want
barbarism rejected. It is becoming so banal. We are not in a war. I
refuse to live in a country that cannot defend its citizens."
Another girl, 18-year-old Chahrazad Belayni, was doused with petrol by
a suitor and set alight in November last year. She remains in a coma.
In Marseilles in 2004, Ghofrane Haddaoui, a 23-year-old woman from the
suburbs, was stoned to death by a gang of youths.
The choice of Halimi as a victim because he was Jewish was a
particularly distressing component of the crime for a nation whose anti-semitic
past included wartime collaboration in the transfer of Jews to the death
camps.
France has the biggest Muslim and Jewish populations of any European
country and in some suburbs it is not uncommon to see anti-Jewish
grafitti. "We've got blacks and Arabs in one camp and then it is the Jews in
the other," said Mamadou Menibe, a young man of west African origin from
Vitry-Sur-Seine.
The Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France claims that
violent attacks against Jews began rising abruptly in France at the
start of the second Palestinian intifada in 2000.
Some experts say it has been fuelled by Dieudonne M'Bala M'Bala, a
popular comedian who blames Jews for the suffering of blacks and was found
guilty last month of incitement to racial hatred.
The hostility has led thousands of French Jews to move to Israel in the
past five years, including about 3,300 last year, the highest number in
35 years.
So obsessed was Fofana, the Barbarians' leader, with targeting Jews
that he had established which shops were Jewish by checking which of them
closed during Jewish holidays.
When he met Yalda he was impressed. "With you," he said, "I can do
wonders. With your physique you'll make a fortune... all the boys will fall
into the trap."
He offered her 3,000 pounds sterling to approach Halimi in his shop and
lure him to a meeting. She got Halimi's number and rang him up to ask
him out on a date.
She told her friend Tifenn that she found Halimi "friendly" and "cute".
After they met in a cafe, she invited him back to her fictitious flat
on the other side of the ring road. The Barbarians were lying in wait.
Some commentators seem traumatised by too much reality, upbraiding the
foreign media for painting "la belle France" in an unflattering light.
But the truth is ugly, particularly when it comes to the barbarians
camped at the gate.

Suspect Atom Bomb Link
Updated: 12:07, Wednesday March 22, 2006
http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-1216187,00.html
One of the suspected terrorists on trial for allegedly plotting a
nationwide bombing campaign has been linked to a nuclear weapon.
The Old Bailey jury was told that Salahuddin Amin had been involved in
discussions to buy a nuclear bomb.
The prosecution said contact had been made with the Russian mafia in
Belgium, from whom they wanted to buy a radio-isotope bomb.
Yesterday, jurors heard the prosecution outline its case that the
seven-strong gang - all British citizens - planned to blow up pubs,
nightclubs and trains.
Prosecutor David Waters said one of the men, Waheed Mahmood, 34, of
Crawley, West Sussex, had been working for National Grid Transco.
The company operates the high voltage electricity system in England and
Wales and the high pressure gas system across Britain.
Mr Waters said the aim of the plot was "at the very least to destroy
strategic plants within the UK or more realistically to kill and injure
citizens of the UK".
The accused deny conspiring to cause explosions between Jan 1 2003 and
March 31 2004.
Three of them also deny an additional charge of possessing an article
for terrorism.
Mohammed Babar, a US citizen who pleaded guilty in New York to a role
in a "British bomb plot", is expected to give evidence against the
defendants.
