YLE, “Members of Cuba’s volleyball team detained on rape suspicions” 3 July 2016:

Eight Cuban men have been taken into custody on suspicion of aggravated rape at a Tampere hotel. Police say they usually do not comment on such cases at this stage, but decided to do so to quash speculation that the players had defected or disappeared.

Eight members of the Cuban national men’s volleyball team, including the team’s captain, are being held in Tampere on suspicion of aggravated rape.

The Central Finland Police Department says that three of the men were detained on Saturday morning and a fourth was taken into custody on Sunday morning. Four more were taken into custody on Sunday afternoon after the team’s match against Portugal.

Police said on Sunday afternoon that progress has been made in the investigation.

The suspected incident took place in the Tampere hotel where the Olympics-bound Cuban team is staying.

Inspector Joni Länsipuro of the Central Finland Police Department, who is heading the investigation, told Yle on Sunday that there is one alleged victim in the case, who has been interviewed.

He added that a decision on placing the men who were held on Saturday under formal arrest must be made by noon on Tuesday, 5 July.

“I have not made this decision yet,” said Länsipuro. “When the prosecutor comes to work on Monday, we’ll discuss this.”

Later he added: “It is quite natural that they most likely will not be able to leave Finland on Monday as planned.”

Police have refused to reveal more details of the case.

TNO, “Italy: Invaders Flee from CasaPound” 1 June 2016:

Hundreds of nonwhite invaders squatting in the seaside town of Ostia, outside Rome, last night fled in the face of a mass show of force by Italian nationalist organization CasaPound, supported by hundreds of locals.

The invaders had turned the town’s park into a squalid shantytown, used it as a public toilet, and had terrorized locals for months with their criminal activities—and leftist authorities had refused to act.

       

CasaPound—which sprang to international prominence with a 10,000-strong anti-invasion march and demonstration in Rome in May this year—announced that they were going to “clean up” the Ostia Lido Centro area after residents had asked them to help.

They said that local authorities had refused to move the invaders—many of them Africans who had landed in Italy during the ongoing boat-invasion which is being encouraged and supported by the European Union.

“CasaPound took to the streets with exasperated residents,” CasaPound Ostia leader Luca Marsella said.

“We’re not leaving until these people who have been here for months are gone. The residents are afraid. This cannot be allowed to carry on,” he added, before taking up a megaphone to lead the growing crowd.

After more than three hours of confrontation, which took place with police present, the invaders decided to flee in the face of the angry crowd.

Express, “European SUPERSTATE to be unveiled: EU nations ‘to be morphed into one’ post-Brexit”, 28 June 2016:

EUROPEAN political chiefs are to take advantage of Brexit by unveiling their long-held plan to morph the continent’s countries into one GIANT SUPERSTATE, it has emerged yesterday.

           
German Angela Merkel met with European heads today at the EU summit

The foreign ministers of France and Germany are due to reveal a blueprint to effectively do away with individual member states in what is being described as an “ultimatum”.

Under the radical proposals EU countries will lose the right to have their own army, criminal law, taxation system or central bank, with all those powers being transferred to Brussels.

orders, including the procedure for admitting and relocating refugees.

The plot has sparked fury and panic in Poland - a traditional ally of Britain in the fight against federalism - after being leaked to Polish news channel TVP Info.

The public broadcaster reports that the bombshell proposal will be presented to a meeting of the Visegrad group of countries - made up of Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia - by German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier later today.

Excerpts of the nine-page report were published today as the leaders of Germany, France and Italy met in Berlin for Brexit crisis talks.

In the preamble to the text the two ministers write: “Our countries share a common destiny and a common set of values ??that give rise to an even closer union between our citizens. We will therefore strive for a political union in Europe and invite the next Europeans to participate in this venture.”

The revelations come just days after Britain shook the Brussels establishment by voting to leave the European Union in a move some have predicted could leave to the break-up of the EU.

A number of member states are deeply unhappy about the creeping federalism of the European project with anti-EU sentiments running high in eastern Europe, Scandinavia and France.

Responding to the plot Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski raged: “This is not a good solution, of course, because from the time the EU was invented a lot has changed.

“The mood in European societies is different. Europe and our voters do not want to give the Union over into the hands of technocrats.

“Therefore, I want to talk about this, whether this really is the right recipe right now in the context of a Brexit.”

There are deep divides at the heart of the EU at the moment over how to proceed with the project in light of the Brexit vote.

Some figures have cautioned against trying to force through further political integration, warning that to do so against the wishes of the European people will only fuel further Eurosceptic feeling.

Excellent article and comments at TOO about the politics and circles of Jo Cox and her husband.

The article casts evergreen light on the nefarious power structure and imminions* of the British political class well beyond doubts as to how the Cox murder would impact the Brexit vote, now that the vote has transpired.

Some pearls from the article and comments:

“Hers was the typical smooth career path of the modern political cog.”

Her political way was paved by becoming a water carrier for wives of the liberal political class. She imbibed and voiced its concerns - i.e., for the plight of anybody** but White native British. To the point where she ignored the rape of British girls that was going on under her nose - crimes being prosecuted, in fact, the day she died. Despite the obvious contradiction of Islam and her liberal politics, she would not say “boo” to Islam because her lucrative political career depended upon support of Muslims in her constituency.

Her husband was in complete alignment with her liberal political madness. He openly discussed ways to pander to those young people, at least those who have not yet been disabused of the PC kool-aid, as a group to counteract growing “national populist anti-immigration sentiment.”

He was such a political apparatchik that on the day that his wife was murdered, he was preoccupied with lambasting the leave campaign as opposed to attending to normal protocols of family bereavement.

Just the kind of tag-team that would flush ordinary White men down the toilet. She the gate keeper to make sure that their voice and concerns were blocked and never to be addressed; only letting through and empowering liberal “alpha males” like Brandon, who would complete the act of flushing normal White men down the toilet.

Both were lavishly rewarded for betraying normal British people.

Now that we have a bead on the patterns underpinning Jo and Brandon Cox’s insane liberalism, it begs the question of who Tommy Mair was in response to theirs and their society’s insanity? Should we dismiss him as merely crazy? Should we shy away from the fact that he had political and native nationalist motivations because his manifestation was of dubious tact?

Or is it occasion to look at silenced voices behind the reaction?

* It was too tempting to not go with what started out as a typo to the word “minion” here.

** Excepting, perhaps, if they interfered with Jewish interests..

WSJ, “Brexit: A Very British Revolution,” 24 June 2016:

The vote to leave the EU began as a cry for liberty and ended as a rebuke to the establishment

The world is looking at Britain and asking: What on Earth just happened? Those who run Britain are asking the same question.

Never has there been a greater coalition of the establishment than that assembled by Prime Minister David Cameron for his referendum campaign to keep the U.K. in the European Union. There was almost every Westminster party leader, most of their troops and almost every trade union and employers’ federation. There were retired spy chiefs, historians, football clubs, national treasures like Stephen Hawking and divinities like Keira Knightley. And some global glamour too: President Barack Obama flew to London to do his bit, and Goldman Sachs opened its checkbook.

And none of it worked. The opinion polls barely moved over the course of the campaign, and 52% of Britons voted to leave the EU. That slender majority was probably the biggest slap in the face ever delivered to the British establishment in the history of universal suffrage.

Mr. Cameron announced that he would resign because he felt the country has taken a new direction—one that he disagrees with. If everyone else did the same, the House of Commons would be almost empty. Britain’s exit from the EU, or Brexit, was backed by barely a quarter of his government members and by not even a tenth of Labour politicians. It was a very British revolution.

TNO, “Brexit Contagion: Germany Fears 5 More ‘Leaves”, 25 June 2016:

The German government has admitted in a secret briefing paper leaked to Die Welt newspaper that another five countries—France, Austria, Finland, the Netherlands, and Hungary—might follow Britain’s example and leave the European Union.

The document warns that a prolonged and messy British exit process can have a “crucial” impact in boosting the Eurosceptic movements in all five nations.

       

The document, titled “Task Force: Proposed referendum on United Kingdom membership of the European Union” was developed by the German Finance Ministry for what it describes as “difficult divorce proceedings.”

The document says it was to offer the UK “constructive outlet negotiations” which will end up in Britain becoming an “associate partner country” of the EU.

The exit process—governed by Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty—allows for a two-year withdrawal process. “This creates time and the basis for negotiations,” the document says, adding that if necessary, this time period could be extended.

Turkey will gain visa-free access to the EU upon joining - 79 million mostly Muslim people already of mostly mixed Middle Eastern heritage.

Zero Hedge, “EU Will Resume Turkey EU Membership Talks Just Days After Brexit Referendum”, 22 June 2016:

It appears that David Cameron may have fibbed a bit when he said that one of the most contentious issues behind the Brexit campaign, namely the treatment of Turkish EU membership, won’t be a topic for “decades” and that Turkey won’t join the EU until the year 3000. As AFP reports, “The EU will open new membership talks with Turkey as planned in a few days, EU diplomatic sources said Wednesday, just as Ankara’s accession becomes a hot-button issue in Britain’s vote on its future in the bloc.” Citing a source, who asked not to be named, AFP said that EU member states will meet June 30 to agree to open a new negotiating chapter with Turkey.

This means that just days after the Leave campaign may end up winning the Brexit referendum based on the PM’s promise that a Turkish admission into the EU is off the table, the topic of Turkish ascension will once again be front and center, and as we explain below, Turkey will likely end up getting what it wants.

We must seize this golden opportunity to Leave the European Union and take back control of our borders.

We cannot afford to risk staying in a political organization that is ready to admit Turkey and planning deeper integration.

We have no border controls inside EU. If you want the UK to be able to control migration then vote to Leave EU.

Why we must vote LEAVE in the EU referendum…
