New U.N. chief says politicians are failing 'losers of globalization'
[Yahoo] The incoming head of the United Nations warned on Tuesday that "losers of globalization" in rich countries have felt ignored by establishment politicians, prompting them to turn to nationalist agendas, as in the U.S. election and Brexit referendum.
So... if the rich countries are "losers", why the fucking holy hell would they want to be in your mad scheme?
Antonio Guterres, elected in October to take over as U.N. secretary general next year,
I missed that. Is he any better than Ban Ki Moon or Boutros Boutros Gali, or any of the rest of the flaccid nonentities who have been compromised into the job in recent years?
told a conference in his native Lisbon that this trend had undermined the willingness to receive refugees in Europe this year.

He said the world must re-establish international protection for refugees coming from war zones such as Syria, but it would not be easy as developed countries were turning to nationalist agendas.
Not hard when your "refugees" act as colonists and attack the natives.
Europe has struggled to handle a huge influx of refugees, many of whom displaced by the war in Syria. The United States has accepted only a very small number of refugees and may take in even fewer next year.
Send 'em back via nuclear missile.
"In 2016, we have witnessed a dramatic deterioration of that international protection regime (for refugees)," Guterres said.

"This example started in the developed world, it started essentially in Europe, it is spreading now like a virus into other parts of the world."

Guterres, who was U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees until last year, linked the growing resistance to accepting refugees to wider concerns about globalization.

"I don't think we can look strictly at the refugee issue, I think the problem is a broader problem," he told the conference on Europe's refugee crisis.

There was a consensus in the mid-1990s that globalization would benefit all, he said.
Well, those in power. As you stated the rich countries get fucked.
"But a lot of people were left behind ... In the developed world, (there are) those who have been losers in globalization," he said. "The recent analysis of the rust belt in the United States, I think, is a clear demonstration of that, when we speak about the elections."

Donald Trump won this month's election in the United States in part thanks to support from voters who have seen their jobs lost to countries with cheaper labor.

"So globalization has not been as successful as we had hoped and lots of people became not only angry with it, but feeling that political establishments and international organizations are not paying attention, were not taking care (of them)," he said.

This led to what he called "a kind of evolution" in which anti-establishment parties now tended to win elections and referendums tended to attract majorities against whatever was put to a vote.
I vote we fire your asses into the sun.

#1  He said the world must re-establish international protection for refugees coming from war zones such as Syria

How long have you had Palestinian refugee camps from the '48 war? You don't have solutions and only offer unending occupations. Those Germans driven from their homes in Prussia and Silesia a couple years earlier were absorbed into the larger population without a lot of UN help. I know, "where's the graft in that".

#2  So - globalism creates "losers. The answer of course, is to double down on globalism. Riiiiight...

#3  Antonio, remind us again of the advantages of globalization. Also remind us of what the hell the UN does that is useful and why they suck up so much of U.S. taxpayer's money.

#4  "protection for refugees coming from war zones such as Syria"

Yet most of them ARE NOT. Syria sells passports, it's an establishment scam to ignore the migration fraud.

It's been a known secret that a lot of the gimmigrant "children" are very much older than claimed.

#7  Conflating 2 entirely separate issues. Trade globalisation and mass immigration. There is no necessary relationship between them. China is the biggest participant in trade globalisation, and has no immigration (except some ethnic Chinese).

He would have been a good fit for the prophesied next president, but will have an interesting time with the actual winner. Thank you, Pappy.

DOJ fines Denver Sheriff Dept. for excluding noncitizens when hiring
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] The Denver Sheriff Department will accept a penalty from the Department of Justice after a federal probe found it wrongly made U.S. citizenship a job requirement during a recent hiring spree.

The sheriff's department -- the biggest sheriff's office in Colorado -- will pay a $10,000 fine after it required applications for deputy sheriff jobs to be U.S. citizens when hiring from the beginning of 2015 through March 2016. The department went on a hiring spree of 200 deputies as part of its ongoing reform.

The department will also have to go through old applications to find applicants who were eliminated because of their citizenship status and reconsider them for future jobs.

The Justice Department made the announcement on Monday, saying the sheriff's department violated the Immigration and Nationality Act without having an exemption.

#2  Non-USCITS to "uphold the U.S. Constituion?" I detect a bit of a contradiction here:

Law Enforcement Oath of Honor is recommended as by the International Association of Chiefs of Police as symbolic statement of commitment to ethical behavior:

On my honor,
I will never betray my badge1,
my integrity, my character,
or the public trust.
I will always have
the courage to hold myself
and others accountable for our actions.
I will always uphold the constitution2
my community3 and the agency I serve

#6  I guess that means veterans don't get any preference for their service in Colorado - the Dope state.

#7  So the Denver sheriff accepted the penalty but can he drag his feet a few months before he actually pays the penalty?

Trump’s supposed ‘Muslim registry’ is just more fake news
[NYPOST] The first thing to know about Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s alleged proposal for a Moslem registry is that it isn’t a Moslem registry.

This has been lost in a freakout that has some brave souls already promising acts of civil disobedience to disrupt and overwhelm the prospective registry. The controversy tells us much more about how the media will cover the Trump administration -- i.e., through the lens of fact-free hysteria -- than about the administration’s immigration enforcement agenda.

The source of the fracas is a comment from Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Trump immigration adviser and (excellent) candidate for homeland security director, to Rooters. Kobach noted that the administration might reinstate a Bush-era program tracking visitors to the United States from countries with active terrorist threats. This suggestion was spun into a first step toward herding our Moslem neighbors into internment camps.

Kobach was referring to the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, or NSEERS, which placed special requirements on adult male visitors from countries like Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
. Implemented after 9/11 -- when, you might recall, adult male visitors from Saudi Arabia toppled the World Trade Center -- it collected fingerprints and photographs when visitors from the select countries arrived and required them to check in periodically to confirm that they were abiding by the terms of their visas.

It also required that certain individuals from these countries who were already here go through a process of "special registration," including an interview with immigration officials. This is a far cry from FDR’s notorious Executive Order 9066 setting in motion the Japanese internment of World War II.

It’s true, as the critics point out, that the selected countries all were, with the exception of North Korea, majority-Moslem. But any program concerned with international terrorism will inevitably focus largely on Moslem countries (although European countries like La Belle France and Belgium have developed an indigenous terror threat).

The 9/11 hijackers, notably, all came from majority-Moslem countries.

#4  But you have to listen to me spout their nonsense. Takes away from the whole boob thing.

Married or shackled males develop a program routine, that signals 'she just wants to talk, no problem solving here', in which they can be looking at their significant other talking to them and dump everything into a buffer cache usually with a further subroutine that utters a subdued response such as 'ah' or 'yep' sound or a physical nod.
