Can the Daily Mail say “Muslim” ?
Is it so hard to say Islam? How about the fact that all of these rapists come from one notoriously Islamic area in Pakistan. Glossing over that fact by calling them “Asians” is an obvious obfuscation on the part of DM editors.

“Obama and Eric Holder Launch PAC for ‘Fairer’ Redistricting Maps”
President Barack Obama plans to team up after he leaves office with former Attorney General Eric Holder to launch a new political action committee to press for redistricting reform.
According to Politico, the National Democratic Redistricting Committee was “developed in close consultation with the White House” and that Obama himself has identified with the group.
“American voters deserve fair maps that represent our diverse communities—and we need a coordinated strategy to make that happen,” Holder said in a statement. “This unprecedented new effort will ensure Democrats have a seat at the table to create fairer maps after 2020.”
Democratic leadership in statehouses and congress is being decimated by Obama’s policies. The president routinely complains about gerrymandering, saying that is making things unfair for Democrats across the country.
In August 2015, Obama discussed at length his feelings on a system that he suggested was rigged to favor Republicans.
“I think political gerrymandering has resulted in a situation in which — with 80 percent Democratic districts or 80 percent Republican districts and no competition, that that leads to more and more polarization in Congress, and it gets harder and harder to get things done,” he said during an interview with NPR.
During his State of the Union address in 2016, Obama called for an end of the current boundaries, suggesting that the political map was rigged to favor extreme candidates.
”We have to end the practice of drawing our congressional districts so that politicians can pick their voters and not the other way around,” he said, vowing to “travel the country to push for reforms” to make it easier for people to vote.
“European Border and Coast Guard Agency launches today”, 6 Oct 2016:
Today the European Border and Coast Guard Agency is being officially launched, less than a year after it was first proposed by the European Commission. The launch event takes place at the Kapitan Andreevo Border Checkpoint at the Bulgarian external border with Turkey and includes a presentation of the vehicles, equipment and teams of the new Agency, as well as a press conference attended by Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos, Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior of Bulgaria Rumiana Bachvarova, State Secretary of the Interior Ministry of the Slovak Republic Denisa Sakova, Executive Director of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency Fabrice Leggeri, EU interior ministers and other senior officials. Building on the foundations of Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency will closely monitor the EU’s external borders and work together with Member States to quickly identify and address any potential security threats to the EU’s external borders.
Commissioner for Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship, Avramopoulos, said: “Today is a milestone in the history of European border management. From now onwards, the external EU border of one Member State is the external border of all Member States – both legally and operationally. In less than one year we have established a fully-fledged European Border and Coast Guard system, turning into reality the principles of shared responsibility and solidarity among the Member States and the Union. This is exactly the European response that we need for the security and migration challenges of the 21st century.”
Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, holder of the rotating Presidency of the Council, said: “By launching the European Border and Coast Guard, we are creating a new reality at our external borders. This is a tangible outcome of the joint commitment agreed in the Bratislava Roadmap, as well as a practical display of unity among Member States. It will help us to get back to Schengen. The Presidency is determined to help further strengthen the European Border and Coast Guard, as well as translate other commitments from the Roadmap into action.”
Executive Director of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, Fabrice Leggeri, said: “This is a historic moment and I am very proud to see Frontex become the European Border and Coast Guard Agency. The new Agency is stronger and better equipped to tackle migration and security challenges at Europe’s external borders. Its mandate has wider scope and new powers that will allow it to act effectively. The Agency will conduct stress tests at the external borders to identify vulnerabilities before a crisis hits. It will now also be able to offer operational support to neighbouring non-EU countries who ask for assistance at their border and share intelligence on cross-border criminal activities with national authorities and European agencies in support of criminal investigations. It also has a key role at Europe’s maritime borders through its new coast guard functions.”
Under the new mandate, the Agency’s role and activities have been significantly expanded. The Agency’s permanent staff will be more than doubled and the Agency will be able to purchase its own equipment and deploy them in border operations at short notice. A rapid reserve pool of at least 1,500 border guards and a technical equipment pool will be put at the disposal of the Agency – meaning there will no longer be shortages of staff or equipment for Agency operations. The European Border and Coast Guard will now ensure the implementation of Union standards of border management through periodic risk analysis and mandatory vulnerability assessments.
The European Border and Coast Guard will provide a missing link in strengthening Europe’s external borders, so that people can continue to live and move freely within the European Union – helping to meet Europe’s commitment to get back to the normal functioning of the Schengen area and the lifting of temporary internal border controls by the end of the year, as set out in the Commission’s Back to Schengen Roadmap on 4 March.
Over the next months, the new Agency will be fully rolled out:
· 6 OCTOBER 2016: new Agency is legally operational
· 7 DECEMBER 2016: rapid reaction pool and the rapid reaction equipment pool become operational
· BY DECEMBER 2016: 50 new recruitments in the Agency
· 7 JANUARY 2017: return pools become operational
· JANUARY-MARCH 2017: first vulnerability assessments.
Background
The establishment of a European Border and Coast Guard, as announced by President Juncker in his State of the Union Speech on 9 September 2015, is part of the measures set out under the European Agenda on Migration to reinforce the management and security of the EU’s external borders. The Schengen area without internal borders is only sustainable if the external borders are effectively secured and protected.
On 15 December 2015, the European Commission presented a legislative proposal for the creation of a European Border and Coast Guard, building on existing structures of Frontex, to meet the new challenges and political realities faced by the EU, both as regards migration and internal security. The European Border and Coast Guard was approved by the European Parliament and Council in a record time of just nine months.
The European Border and Coast Guard will help to manage migration more effectively, improve the internal security of the European Union and safeguard the principle of free movement of persons. The establishment of a European Border and Coast Guard will ensure a strong management of the EU’s external borders as a shared responsibility between the Union and its Member States.
Ongoing black “student” violence and rioting has shut all South African universities and it is now doubtful that there will be any 2016 graduates this year.
The violence has caused more than R600 million ($44 million) damage to buildings and vehicles so far, and the rioting shows no sign of ending soon.
Black police and black students clash at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.
The University of the Witwatersrand tried to resume lectures on October 10, but had to call classes off once again after police officers and protestors engaged in violent clashes throughout the campus and the streets outside.
The black protesters, whose principle demand is free tuition—despite almost all of them failing their exams—threw rocks at the police, who fired rubber-coated bullets and used tear gas and stun grenades to control the crowds.
Such scenes, when they occurred under the previous white-run government of South Africa, were always given great prominence in the controlled media as evidence of “white racism”—but nowadays the media has largely ignored the events which have had a cataclysmic effect on higher education in the country.
A bus burned by rioting “students” in central Johannesburg..
Even when the violence is covered—such as a recent article in Newsweek—the blame for the unrest is still laughably blamed on “inequalities” resulting from white rule, claiming that the “protests highlight an ingrained frustration at enduring inequalities more than two decades after the end of apartheid.”
German patriots are waging an increasingly violent struggle in the fight in defense of their homeland, and in the first nine months of 2016, have carried out 63 arson attacks, and 556 “damage to property” attacks, which have resulted in six deaths.
Patriots have also been named as carrying out 213 illegal gatherings, 16 violations of the arms act, 4 explosive offenses, 4 serious assaults, 507 “summary violations,” and 527 “propaganda offenses.”
The figures also broke down attacks in regard to those committed by invaders and communists, although these are proportionally far fewer than those committed by the patriots.
According to the statistics, which were compiled up to and including September 12, 2016, the breakdown of offenses reported to the police were as follows:
Homicide
Invaders: 1; Communists: 0; Patriots: 6.
Assault:
Invaders: 42; Communists: 29; Patriots: 405.
Arson
Invaders: 0; Communists: 8; Patriots: 63.
Explosive offenses:
Invaders: 0; Communists: 0; Patriots: 4.
Breach of the Peace:
Foreigners: 2; Leftists: 10; Patriots: 8.
Serious Assault:
Invaders: 0; Communists: 4; Patriots: 4.
Kidnapping
Invaders: 0; Communists: 1; Patriots: 1.
Robbery
Invaders: 0; Communists: 0; Patriots: 5.
Blackmail
Invaders: 1; Communists: 0; Patriots: 0.
Resisting Police Officers
Invaders: 1; Communists: 15; Patriots: 10.
“Summary Violations”
Invaders: 47; Communists: 67; Patriots: 507.
Damage to Property
Invaders: 5; Communists: 136; Patriots: 556.
Threats/Coercion
Invaders: 25; Communists: 2; Patriots: 116.
Propaganda Offenses
Invaders: 3; Communists: 2; Patriots: 527.
Racial Incitement
Invaders: 1; Communists: 0; Patriots: 1,069.
Illegal Gatherings
Invaders: 5; Communists: 59; Patriots: 213.
Violation of the Weapons Act
Invaders: 0; Communists: 1; Patriots: 16.
Other Offenses
Invaders: 19; Communists: 40; Patriots: 507.
With regard to these categories, it should be borne in mind that the German government classes any sort of public utterance expressing concern over the extent of the nonwhite invasion of that country as “racial incitement,” while it broadly categorizes even the slightest reference to the Third Reich under “propaganda offenses.”
What is interesting, in a very creepy sense, is the exposure of how Soros acts to infiltrate and direct mass movements in activism against White solidarity.
In these Podesta emails, he is exposed attempting another permutation of what has been a historical pattern of Jewish infiltration into the Catholic Church:
(((George Soros and Sandy Newman))) promoted fake Catholic groups to try and “create a revolution” within the Catholic church -
From the John Podesta emails, here is a fascinating exchange between Podesta and (((Sandy Newman))).

Like a fury, he entered four churches in the historic center of Rome and destroyed ancient statues, crucifixes, candelabras. The damage is incalculable from an artistic point of view. In the end, when he was getting ready to make the fifth incursion, he was arrested by the police. The vandal is a 39-year-old citizen of Ghana with a criminal record, legally residing in Italy.

GoldenDawn, “N. G. Michaloliakos at RAI 1: Golden Dawn will fight sturdily against those who aspire to sell off our Homeland! VIDEO”, 11 Oct 2016:
At the beginning of August, the Italian journalist Franco di Mare made an all-inclusive interview with the Secretary General of People’s Association-Golden Dawn, N. G. Michaloliakos.
The interview was filmed in the headquarters at Mesogeion avenue and was broadcasted as a part of the television program “Frontiere”, on the 27th of August.
The Leader of Golden Dawn answered questions about the identity of the Popular Nationalistic Movement, clarifying that Golden Dawn fights against all those who aspire to sell off the Homelands.
At the same time, he responded in regard to reports on his political part, the symbols that are used by Golden Dawn along with the other nationalistic movements in Europe;.
He specified that Golden Dawn constitutes in fact the opposition in Greece, since SYRIZA and New Democracy vote in common line with all the EU memoranda legislation. The most crucial problem for Europe and for Greece is demographic crisis, as the massive illegal immigration threatens the permanent radical alteration of the country’s population
Finally, he made it clear that Golden Dawn strongly resists against the international loan sharks and the attempted islamization of our Homeland.

Haaretz, “China Reportedly Cracks Down on Ancient Jewish Community of Kaifeng”, 26 Sept 2016:
A SMALL GROUP of Jews in Kaifeng, the ancient Chinese imperial city on the Yellow River, are the latest target of a government crackdown on unapproved religions and foreign influence, the New York Times reported.
(ILLUSTRATION: The painting “Kaifeng Jews,” by Yin Xin)
Established over 1,000 years ago, the Kaifeng Jewish community has undergone a rebirth in recent decades, with activists holding religious services, classes on Judaism and proposing to rebuild the community’s ancient synagogue. Some have even immigrated to Israel.
The municipality tolerated their activities for years, seeing the Jewish link as a magnet for tourism and investment, but that ended last year, when the crack-down began. Organizations that helped foster Jewish rediscovery have been shut down, Jewish residents were prohibited from gathering to worship Pesach and other holidays and relics of the city’s Jewish past have been removed from public places.
“The whole policy is very tight now,” said Guo Yan, 35, a tour guide who runs a small museum about Kaifeng’s Jewish past. “China is sensitive about foreign activities and interference.”
The number of active Jews in Kaifeng is minute — some 100 to 200 people, out of a Jewish community of about 1,000 in a city of 4.5 million people.
Quite why they are regarded as a threat is unclear, but since last year they have become subject to tight religious control by the government of President Xi Jinping. “They don’t understand us, and worry that we’re being used,” said a local businessman who supported the religious awakening.
Local Jews do not attribute the crack-down to anti-Semitism, which is relatively rare in China. “It is fear about religion, not just us Jews,” the businessman said.
But the current clampdown has gone much further than previous ones, residents said. Some blamed a report in the New York Times last year in which a city official attending a Pesach banquet spoke sympathetically about the revival, apparently violating government guidelines.
There were also rumors that a Jewish woman from Kaifeng had won asylum in the United States after claiming religious persecution.
Two Western organizations which had set up offices in the city and were offering classes in Hebrew, Judaism and Jewish history closed down after their local employees came under police scrutiny.
Even signs of the historical Jewish presence in the city have been erased. An inscribed stone marking the site of the old synagogue was removed from the front of the hospital that occupies the grounds an ancient well, said to be the last visible remnant of the synagogue, has been buried under concrete and earth.
Jews can still gather in small groups in their homes to pray, and there have been no arrests, the local Jews said. But they are being closely monitored by police and state security officers.
NYTimes, “Chinese Jews of Ancient Lineage Huddle Under Pressure,” 24 Sept 2016:
KAIFENG, China — The rooms where ruddy-faced Chinese men and women once assembled to pray in Hebrew and Mandarin are silent. Signs and exhibits that celebrated centuries of Jewish life have disappeared. An ancient well, believed to be the last visible remnant of a long-demolished synagogue, was recently buried under concrete and a pile of earth.
After locking down Buddhist monasteries in Tibet and tearing down church crosses in eastern China, President Xi Jinping’s campaign against unapproved religion and foreign influence has turned to an unlikely adversary: a small group of Jews whose ancestors settled in this now faded imperial city near the banks of the Yellow River more than 1,000 years ago.
A few hundred residents had staged a lively, sometimes contentious rebirth of Kaifeng’s Jewish heritage in recent decades, with classes, services and proposals to rebuild the lost synagogue as a museum. Some residents even migrated to Israel. For years, the city government tolerated their activities, seeing the Jewish link as a magnet for tourism and investment.
But since last year, the authorities have come down hard on the revival, in an example of how even the smallest spiritual groups can fall under the pall of the Communist Party’s suspicion. The government has shut down organizations that helped foster Jewish rediscovery, prohibited residents from gathering to worship for Passover and other holidays, and removed signs and relics of the city’s Jewish past from public places.
“The whole policy is very tight now,” said Guo Yan, 35, a tour guide who advocates a distinctively Chinese strain of Judaism and runs a small museum in an apartment filled with pictures of Kaifeng’s Jewish past. “China is sensitive about foreign activities and interference.”
Along with a terrific propensity for smashing Islam, China shows promise in dealing with Jews as well.
