Europe
In the schools, one can see the war coming
[SPEISA] Some non-assimilated students have openly said that they hate white people, they hate Jews, they want Sweden to have Sharia law. I have met students who had a lengthy discussion about their vision for a world "where all the whites have been killed" and that therefore "racism does not exist anymore."

Unlike the academic left-liberal middle class, I talk to these students. I respect them, regardless of their views or values. They are people whether they advocate Sharia laws or claim to want to execute anyone who is like me. Opinions are respected but countered politely and objectively. As an individual, I work to try to give them a good life, as a citizen, I see civil war's cruel mechanisms creeping ever closer to my school everyday. Wars are fought not by a monster, but by ordinary people with ordinary prejudices, who happen to be on the opposite side in a conflict.

That the grades have plummeted as a result of the lack of assimilation should hardly come as a surprise.

#1  Sweden is the test case for what happens when Muslim immigration reaches a critical mass.

I can't see it ending well.

#3  we are all sweden. the US still has not banned muslim migration and trump appears to be striking grave resistance

australia, canada and britain have the doors wide open

rest of europe is gone

poland might stand a chance but how long can it hold out if the rest of europe falls?

all done without a shot being fired. all done by infiltration of the universities, the media and the polity. all done by using our own weaknesses against us.

the muslim brotherhood have been working busily for 30 years inside our own societies now

if we want to keep western civilisation soon we will not only have to ban muslim migration but also ban mosques and islamic religious schools, and deport or lock up for treason those who spread sharia

can you see that happening?

me neither

so we will look like Lebanon

#4  People who call me racist and hateful because I don't trust moslems don't understand. I don't want to kill them. That's the whole point. It's safer for them as well as us if we keep ourselves apart from each other. That way there will be no war or at least if there is they will have to invade militarily and we'll have a better chance of keeping the casualties at a minimum. If we end up having to fight them after allowing their numbers to increase in our own countries the odds of them winning increase. I don't want a holocaust. I'm trying to prevent a holocaust.

Fifth Column
The ACLU’s war on common sense
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Last week, 50 ACLU affiliates filed Freedom of Information Act requests with Customs and Border Protection field offices inquiring how the new policy was being enforced at airports.

Declaring war, ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero boasted in a blog post that "if we carpet-bomb the Trump administration with lawsuits, we can rob it of momentum and gum up the machinery of its anti-civil liberties and anti-civil rights agenda."

He also cheered the ongoing, zany left wing protests, some of which have been accompanied by violent vandalism, saying, "The protests across the country -- in the streets and at airports and courthouses -- have been truly exhilarating."

Exhilarating? Maybe for the mobs who are trying to shut down freedom of speech for anyone but themselves. Because they live in a bubble reinforced by the liberal media, the ACLU’s brain trust apparently doesn’t realize or care that it’s out of step with most Americans, who polls show support the temporary travel restrictions and want secure borders.

Declaring war, ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero boasted in a blog post that "if we carpet-bomb the Trump administration with lawsuits, we can rob it of momentum and gum up the machinery of its anti-civil liberties and anti-civil rights agenda."
ACLU Legal Director David Cole on Jan. 28 castigated the president for clearly identifying America’s enemies:

"In signing the executive order on Friday, Trump pledged to ’keep radical Islamic Lions of Islam out of the United States of America.’ Not ’terrorists.’ Not ’radical terrorists.’ But only ’radical Islamic terrorists.’ Of course we should be keeping Lions of Islam out, but why limit our concern to those of one faith?"

Maybe because "radical Islamic terrorists," unlike Catholics, Methodists, Mormons, Hindus or Buddhists, are committing terrorist acts every day around the world and have specifically pledged to wipe the United States and Israel off the map? Honestly, do you know any Presbyterians or Zen practitioners who are turning their sweet young children into jacket wallahs?

"Radical Islamic terrorists" killed 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001. And they blew up the Boston Marathon with pressure cooker bombs hidden in knapsacks in April 2013, killing three people and leaving 264 others without limbs or with other serious injuries. They have committed mass murder at Fort Hood, Texas, San Bernardino, Calif. and Orlando, Florida, and beheaded a woman in Oklahoma, among other atrocities.

"Radical Islamic terrorists" of ISIS have tortured, raped and crucified countless Christians and Yazidis and burned down churches, as have "radical Islamic terrorists" in many countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. They also target Moslems who disagree with their brand of Islam, strapping suicide bombs to hapless women and kiddies, some of them mentally impaired and unable to resist.

In Germany, Angela Merkel
...current chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom...
’s policy of flooding her country with a million migrants colonists, many of them unmarried young men, has destabilized her government and led to countless crimes against German citizens. Even in the face of at least 1,200 sexual assaults, including dozens of rapes, by young, male migrant gangs during the 2015-2016 New Year’s Eve celebrations in Cologne
...a lovely city in Germany. They invented perfume there...
and other German cities, she stuck to her guns, oblivious to the outcries. Now that she’s running for re-election, she says she’s shocked, shocked that migrants colonists are causing problems in Germany.

In La Belle France, the terrorized city of Gay Paree is spending $22 million on a barrier around the Eiffel Tower. It is hoped the new structure will be sound enough to withstand mobs of rampaging Quakers, Baptists or American tourists from Long Island. "Sadly, the risk of terrorism hasn’t gone away," Deputy Mayor Jean-Franois Martins told a presser. "It’s not a wall, it’s an aesthetic perimeter." Whatever.

In the lawsuit to end the "ban" on travelers from the seven countries where Lions of Islam flourish, the ACLU attorneys warned, "Rarely in American history has governmental intent to discriminate against a particular faith and its adherents been so plain."

Well, they might want to research Thomas Jefferson about that. He acquired a Koran specifically for insight into how he could defeat the Moslem pirates of the Barbary Coast of North Africa who were laying waste to American shipping and enslaving our sailors.

Adding to their litany of efforts to leave America less secure, the ACLU just issued a report that says the Transportation Security Administration shouldn’t train its agents to look for suspicious behavior in airports. "Behavior detection" doesn’t work, the ACLU says, because lots of people at airports look nervous or shifty.

Perhaps they’re on to something, because who would know better than they about the nuances of shiftiness?

India-Pakistan
TTP in Afghanistan
[DAWN] AMONG the many complexities of militancy in the Pak-Afghan border region, there is a relatively straightforward reality. The inability -- or partial unwillingness, as some in Pak security circles suspect -- of both the Afghan government and US forces to move decisively against faceless myrmidons belonging to the banned TTP, who have found sanctuary in eastern Afghanistan, has allowed the threat to metastasise in a way that poses a serious, new danger to both countries. In a testimony before the US Senate Armed Forces Committee last week, Gen John Nicholson, commander of US forces in Afghanistan, claimed that TTP faceless myrmidons from Orakzai Agency
... crawling with holy men, home to Darra Adam Khel, the world's largest illegal arms bazaar. 14 distinct tribes of beturbanned primitives inhabit Orakzai agency's 1500 or so square kilometers...
have formed the core of the bully boy Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group in Afghanistan, expanding from a small footprint in Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
province to a presence in several parts of the country. The evolution is unsurprising: TTP factions have been notoriously violent, in some case predating the terror tactics of IS in the Middle East; the TTP has always had a pan-Islamist outlook, rejecting a focus on merely Pakistain, and many of the constituent units originally gathered under its umbrella have a virulent sectarian strain. Moreover, the ingress into Afghanistan was predictable: IS had early on shown a historical interest in Afghanistan, while large-scale military operations in Fata with poor border management and coordination between Afghanistan and Pakistain made it almost inevitable that the TTP would try and relocate to Afghanistan.

If the bully boy linkages are by now well known, what Gen Nicholson’s comments have perhaps unwittingly helped shed light on is the role of Afghanistan and the US in allowing a once manageable problem to grow quickly. By their inaction, despite Pakistain’s urgent appeals in recent years, Afghan and US forces inadvertently allowed the TTP to morph into IS. True, US drones have killed two of three supreme TTP leaders, and Afghan forces have launched the occasional raid on TTP sanctuaries in eastern Afghanistan. But far more evident has been the reluctance to prioritise the fight against TTP/IS. Indeed, Pak officials have publicly and privately voiced their concern that elements within the TTP based in Afghanistan are regarded by Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
as a potentially useful way to bleed Pakistain to either punish or incentivise it to take on Afghan faceless myrmidons based in Pakistain. That mindless game hurts everyone, Afghanistan, Pakistain and the US, leaving the TTP to morph and expand. The TTP-IS bully boy nexus in Afghanistan needs to be urgently dismantled.

D'Souza: ‘America Is A Nation Of Immigrants' But Not ‘A Nation Of Refugees' [VIDEO]
[Daily Caller] Dinesh D’Souza detailed the difference between immigrants and refugees -- and how that relates to President Trump’s immigration ban -- on "Fox & Friends" Sunday morning.

The conservative filmmaker first noted that while America is a nation of immigrants, "it is not a nation of refugees."

"America is a nation of immigrants," he explained. "We are not a nation of refugees, and there is a critical difference between the two."

#1  America was once a nation of slavery. We evolved to the point that it was no longer feasible. Shall we go back to slavery just because it once was part of America? With millions already unemployed, flooding the low skill rung of the job market is equally unfeasible.

#2  Jerry Pournelle: we're a nation of assimilated emigrants - immigration without assimilation is colonization.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 02/14/2017 8:13 Comments || Top||

#3  When the frontier out West was vast and untamed it made sense to bring people here from the Old Country who were like us or at least shared many of the same values that we have. They were Christians and descended from Western Civilization. There may have been minor problems with assimilation but at least they didn't want to kill us or subvert us to their alien religion. Now our country is settled. There are no more vast open spaces where millions of new immigrants can have free land to start their own family farms. Times change and those who don't change with it suffer.
