Hajj controversy widens row between Saudi Arabia & Qatar

The fall - out between the Saudi-led Sunni Muslim block and Qatar, which we have reported on in recent weeks, reportedly escalated over the weekend, with the government of Quatar protesting to the UN over the Saudis preventing its citizens flying to Mecca, and the Saudi monarchy threatening "war" over what it call a bid to “internationalize the holy sites” in Mecca and Medina. 

 

Following a meeting Sunday of the so-called Anti-Terror Quartet (ATQ) of Arab states (all of which are known to have links with ISIS and Al Qaeda,) involved in a conflict with Qatar caused by the somewhat risible claim that Qatar sponsors terrorism (words like pot, kettle, black spring to mind,) Saudi foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir attacked the neighbouring state, accusing it of politicizing the Hajj – the pilgrimage to Mecca that every Muslim is required to perform at least once in their lifetime.

“Qatar's request to internationalize the holy sites is an aggressive act and a declaration of war against the kingdom,” al-Jubeir told the Al Arabiya channel, adding, that Saudi Arabia “reserve the right to respond to any party” promoting such demands.

It was not immediately clear when such a move was suggested, as the government of Qatar has not made any demand that Islam's two holiest sites be placed under international oversight. Al-Arabiya reported that Qatari media raised the idea in response to the Saudi's new rules for Qataris travelling to Mecca and the air blockade on Doha.

On Saturday, Qatar’s National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) lodged a complaint with the UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of belief and religion over what it called a “stark violation of international law and agreements that guarantee the right to worship.”

It's Only Your Money Until The Globalists Say It's Theirs

The EU (Euronazi) bureaucrats have come up with a splendid new scheme to fill the hole in the EU budget that is already threatening the future of the bloc and will go critical after Brexit which will leave Germany as the only net contributor to the budget. They are going to claim that all the money in the EU belongs to the EU.

This is entirely consistent with the World Economic Forum's (WEF) globalist promise that "In the future you will own mothing and you will be happy. But it is well known that the European Union is a collaborator of the globalist WEF in working towards a single world  government.

If there is the slightest hint that a government has a problem servicing its debts or a bank, any bank in the EU, does not have enough capital to meet its obligations, you had better get your money out yesterday.
In fact it might be a good idea to get your money out and put it in offshore investment trusts anyway.

Although it’s your money, the EU have decided they have the right to freeze Personal Accounts to prevent financial problems blossoming into crisesfreeze Personal Accounts to prevent financial problems blossoming into crises. And one they have taken control of your accounts, they will also have the right to do what they like with your money.

Or to put it in the anodyne, non scary language bureaucrats prefer:
European Union states are considering measures which would allow them to temporarily stop people withdrawing money from their accounts to prevent bank runs, an EU document reviewed by Reuters revealed.
 
The move is aimed at helping rescue lenders that are deemed failing or likely to fail, but critics say it could hit confidence and might even hasten withdrawals at the first rumors of a bank being in trouble.
The proposal, which has been in the works since the beginning of this year, comes less than two months after a run on deposits at Banco Popular contributed to the collapse of the Spanish lender.

Giving supervisors the power to temporarily block bank accounts at ailing lenders is “a feasible option,” a paper prepared by the Estonian presidency of the EU said, acknowledging that member states were divided on the issue.

EU countries which already allow a moratorium on bank payouts in insolvency procedures at national level, like Germany, support the measure, officials said.

“The desire is to prevent a bank run, so that when a bank is in a critical situation it is not pushed over the edge,” a person familiar with German government’s thinking said.

The Estonian proposal was discussed by EU envoys on July 13 but no decision was made, an EU official said. Discussions were due to continue in September. Approval of EU lawmakers would be required for any final decision.

Under the plan discussed by EU states, pay-outs could be suspended for five working days and the block could be extended to a maximum of 20 days in exceptional circumstances, the Estonian document said.

Spooking Customers
Charlie Bannister of the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) says “We strongly believe that this would incentivize depositors to run from a bank at an early stage.” Why Might Customers Want to Run?
Here are a trillion reasons: There are over €1 trillion nonperforming loans (both government and private debt) held by EU commercial and central banks right now and the figure is growing every month. Non performing loans are those on which no interests or less that the contracted rate of interest is being paid.

Non-Performing Loans
Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland have a combined €606 billion in non-performing loans.
The entire European banking system is over-leveraged, under-capitalized, and propped up by QE from the ECB. Simply put, the EU banking system is insolvent. That the EU has to consider such an undemocratic and fascistic measure proves the point.

Why Is The Scandal Of The Awan Brothers Being Ignored?

Now we must confess we have been sleeping while on watch over this one, but it's that time of years when people take holidays, spend a lot of time in the garden or do summery sorts of things. And if bigger organisations than ours can get caught flat footed, it stands to reason that we can too. Not that absence of reporting in mainstream media on what should be a major news story showing senior members of the US Democratic Party and prominent members of Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign team is a result of any accidental omission by print or broadcast media of course.

Unless you are not only an American but an avid follower of Washington political shenanigans, you have probably never heard of the Awan brothers, a couple of dodgy foreigners with very strong links to the Democrat National Committee. This blog post should go some way to putting that right. What is surprising about this case however, given the noise the Democrats have been making about collaboration with non Americans during the 2016 campaign, is that neither Trump nor any of his supporters have responded to the fact that they have been handed a baseball bat with nails through the end, with which to beat his leading detractors.

Most people know about the Yemen raid earlier this year, but few know about the dismissal of the three Awan brothers, Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan. On February 2nd, they were abruptly removed from their positions of managing information technology for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Though the official  narrative reported the brothers were suspected of stealing equipment, a connection with the previously-hacked computers of Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) revealed something far more sinister:

"Three members of the intelligence panel and five members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs were among the dozens of members who employed the suspects on a shared basis. The two committees deal with many of the nation’s most sensitive issues and documents, including those related to the war on terrorism."

There have been a number of developments on that story in the past few days, singe the story of Wasserman Shultz's cruelty to hard drives broke. We have learned that Imran Awan was arrested at Washington-Dulles International Airport trying to leave the US, after he transferred approximately $300,000 to Pakistan, and crushed hard drives from his former residence were turned over to authorities.

FBI agents seized smashed computer hard drives from the home of Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s information technology (IT) administrator, according to two sources with knowledge of the investigation. Here's how The Daily Caller reported it:

 

He attempted to leave the country hours after The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group revealed that he is the target of an FBI investigation, and the FBI apprehended him at the airport.

Credit union officials permitted the wire to go through, and his wife has already fled the country to Pakistan, after police confronted her at the airport and found $12,000 in cash hidden in her suitcase but did not stop her from boarding, court documents show.

“On January 18, 2017 at 12:09 pm, an international wire transfer request form was submitted [at the Congressional Federal Credit Union] at the Longworth House Office Building in the District of Columbia, in the amount of $283,000.00, to two individuals in Faisalabad, Pakistan,” according to an affidavit obtained by TheDCNF.

And while it is to be expected that mainstream media is all but ignoring the Awan story… it is surprising to see President Trump exercising the restraint required to keep himself away from Twitter on the whole affair. His only mention of the matter has been a retweet of a Townhall.com article covering mainstream media downplaying the whole incident.

The Saudi Power Balance Is At A Tipping Point

We have reported several times on the drift of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia away from a theocratic monarchy that was willing to tolerate western values and morals for the sake of doing business towards becoming an isolated, fabulously wealthy and dangerous sponsor of terrorism in the cause of spreading a fundamentalist version of Islam as widely as possible throughout the world.

The present ruler, King Salman is over 80 years old, ailing and though nominally the supreme ruler, cannot be said to truly be in charge of anything beyond his own body functions (assuming he IS in control of his body functions,). The recently elevated next in line, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is an extremist  and a jihadist, who supports a literal interpretation of The Koran and would seek to impose Sharia law in all nations where there is a Sunni Muslim majority.

The problem is the man who was bumped down the pecking order resents his demotion, still has a lot of influence and has the support of the CIA. In other words he's still a contender.

After his successful elevation to Crown Prince, Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) has now been appointed by King Salman to be in charge during the monarch's holiday to Morocco. The King’s holiday comes at a time of relative instability in the Kingdom, as the effects of the removal of former Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Nayef at the end of the Ramadan period continue to linger.

King Salman’s choice to award his son the position of Crown Prince was expected, but insiders are warning that his predecessor still holds a great deal of influence. To put MBS in charge during this already very volatile period in the Gulf, as the Saudi-led alliance continues to up the pressure on Arab neighbor Qatar, is feeding into uncertainty.

The Crown Prince also faces pressure due to the lack of progress in his personal prohject, the Yemen War (against the Shia Muslim Houthi rebels and their backers, Iran), the failure of the Saudi strategy to stabilize the oil market, and the Qatar crisis, triggered by MBS' decision to blockade the tiny state by land, sea and air, have put a major dent in the confidence of Saudi Arabia's trading partners. The impact of these problems is being kept at bay by the enormous financial reserves of Saudi Arabia, but as the list of failing MBS initiated endeavors grows, his position in the Kingdom is under increasing pressure.

At the same time, rumors are spreading that the health of King Salman has further deteriorated. Sources in Saudi Arabia have suggested that King Salman is even considering abdication in the next few months to put MBS on the throne. The current rule of MBS during the King’s holiday could be a taste of things to come.

As mentioned above the position of MBS as nominated successor is not entirely secure, a significant group of royal family members oppose the position of MBS in general and are scared he might declare their regular shopping expeditions to harrods in London or Gallieries Lafayete in Paris to be unislamic. Further opposition exists within the old guard of the security forces, with Miteb Bin Abdullah, currently head of the Saudi Arabian National Guard, seen as a possible target for removal. The National Guard is regarded, if used by the opposition, as a real threat to MBS in general and is very loyal to former King Abdullah’s entourage. The Guards were not mentioned in the latest Royal Decree, a sign of their importance and power within the Kingdom. All together it suggests the defeat of ISIS in Syria and Iraq is a long way from the end of the middle east's current round of local wars.

Brexit Without A Single Market Deal Will Be Catastrophic Says Scaremongering Europhile Think Tank

No deal on Brexit would have ‘widespread, damaging and pervasive’ consequences for the UK, according to a new study by the British Europhile think tank, The UK in a Changing Europe. Radio Sputnik discussed the issue with one of the report’s authors, professor of economics and public policy at King's College in London, Jonathan Portes.

The report, “Cost of No Deal”, paints a grim picture of possible repercussions for the UK if Brexit negotiations fail.

When asked about the damage the absence of a Brexit deal could cause the British economy, Dr. Portes said that the immediate impact of the “no deal” would leave the UK in “a legal limbo”

EU-UK to Tackle Uncertainties Amid Brexit Negotiations' Process

“It is not just that there will be tariffs and trade barriers between the UK and the rest of the EU, but it is also the status of the contracts existing between British exporters and importers. Similarly, for UK citizens living elsewhere in Europe it is not clear they suddenly become third-country nationals and lose the rights they currently have in Europe,” Dr. Portes noted. He added that food trade between the UK and EU would also suffer.

“We are not saying that all these things would necessarily happen, but there are definitely risks in the event of a no deal on Brexit,” Jonathan Portes said.

He  added that, confronted by the prospect of a no deal and the possible economic damage this would entail, many in the UK could backtrack and favor a more gradual divorce process.
“Anyway, it is by no means certain what the political implications would be,” he noted.

In other words the think tank hasn't a clue what will happen. This is because since the traitor and war criminal Tony Blair sold out British sovereignty to the Euronazis, it has been very difficult for non EU nations that do not have a trade deal with the EU to do business with Britain. And for those that can, the countless idiotic regulations imposed by EU regulators raise costs and smother trade in bureaucracy thus distorting the view of our ability to trade outside the Union.

When asked about the implications a no deal on Brexit could possibly have on the EU itself, Dr. Portes said that even though in terms of trade the UK would suffer more, the EU would also have to pay the price with a budget hole resulting from Britain’s exit from the bloc and the immediate cessation of UK contributions to the EU budget.

In fact once Britain leaves, Germany will be the only net contributor to the EU treasury and German taxpayers are already in revolt at the prospect. The EU will suffer far more than Britain and could easily disintegrate as a result of Brexit.

Sharia Hell For White Women In US Cities

by Thorfinn 'Hausaklui'

Editor's note: this article contains language and opinions some might find offensive. I decided to publish because we support free speeech for all, not just those who echo official propaganda, and because the story reflects what is happening in European cities where large contingents from particularly backward third world nations have been assembled.

America should have been shaken to its roots by  the murder of  Austrialian born Minneapolis resident Justine Damond. Being a good citizen Ms. Damond called police after witnessing an assault in her neighborhood. Minutes after her 911 call was placed Damond was be dead, after a Somali Muslim member of Minneapolis' finest arrived ass first responder to the emergency call, turned off his body cam and calmly shot her through the police car window.

While liberal mainstream media tries to bury the story as they do with any that exposes the truth about leftist's cause celebre du jour, their beloved Muslim refugees, it is only now that the sickening details of the story are emerging. The incident happened in Minneapolis several months ago, but was at the time completely ignored by the mainstream media.  It has reseurfaced due to the Australian government refusing to accept the liberal bullshit put out to cover the fact that Minneapolis Police Department hires killers to patrol the streets because they are members of the anointed minorities. As a result of political authorities prioritizing sucking up to Muslim extremists over protecting non Muslim citizens from Muslim religious violence, the city and others throughout the state of Minnesota about to explode. The crisis has come to a head after mobs of Somali muslims, assured that the authorities will not act against them, have taken over neighborhood and are reported to be force HELL on American women and girls (regardless of colour,) with harassment, assaults on Christian and non - religious women who do not dress and behave in compliance with Sharia law, and meteing out punishment rapes for those who resist.

Minneapolis is rapidly becoming a Sharia swamp thanks to the liberal politicians who have encouraged Somali Muslims to take up residence in the city at an alarming rate. Muslim migrants in the city have attempted to set up Sharia zones in the past, and formerly affluent American neighborhoods have been transformed into third world shitholes as the monkey - boys have completely taken over large sections of the community. Now Minneapolis residents in one of the only remaining white neighborhoods are being victimized and threatened with death, after the sickening thing that a mob of 30 Somali Muslims did during their Sharia patrol.

Local reports reveal that white woman was just minding her own business outside of her home when a mob of migrant males approached her and began screaming disparaging comments at her, threatening to rape and kill he for a mature, natural woman.r (african monkey - boys are obsessed with raping white women, can't think why - they have to stitch up their women's love tunnels because their little dicks are so useless. So they resort to rape and violence. Take a look at Somalia's record on social development, it really is the arsehole of the world. 

KSTP TV interviewed the victim, where she relayed her horror about the incident that transpired in her neighborhood.

“They were screaming at the house that they were going to kidnap me and they were going to rape me,” one Minneapolis resident told KSTP TV. “It was a very traumatizing experience.”

The unnamed woman was not the only one to be targeted with racist threats and sexist abuse, as the mob made their way around the high rent neighborhood yelling threats at residents, while driving their vehicles onto the sidewalks and lawns, shooting off bottle rockets and screaming Allahu Akbar.

KSTP TV again, reported:

“A mob of up to 30 young Somali men paraded through one of Minneapolis’ more upscale neighborhoods last week, yelling disparaging comments and threats against homeowners.

Somalis living in Minneapolis are almost all Sunni Muslims, and residents of the Lake Calhoun area say this isn’t the first time a group of Somali men has made an intimidating march through their neighborhood, which is filled with million-dollar homes.

Police were called to the scene on June 28 about 9:30 a.m. and are investigating the incident as a potential case of terroristic threats. No arrests have been made, and the Minneapolis media appear to be largely uninterested in reporting on the mob threats.”

Mainstream media worked overtime to bury both this incident and the murder of Justine Damond, Somali refugees continue to arrive to the city at an alarming rate, with an average of 7,000 Somali Muslims migrating to United States annually, with the majority of them being dropped off in Minneapolis.

The most shocking part of it all is the complete media blackout of the situation, which has received even less coverage that the latest Democrat party workers to be suicided just before they were due to testify against Hillary Clinton.  We should not be surprised considering the mayor of the city, Betsy Hodges has been instrumental in the Muslim takeover of her city, recently establishing an anti-blasphemy hotline so Muslim migrants could call and report on anyone who “harassed” them or spoke negatively about Islam or in any other way committed hate crime. In a recent interview, she was completely unapologetic in her admission that her Nazi-like hotline was specifically established to supporters of President Trump.

Betsy Hodges, Mayor of Minneapolis, sucks up to Muslim extremists who want Sharia law imposed in the city.

“I will not compromise the public safety of the people of Minneapolis to satisfy Trump’s desire to put politics before public safety,” she stated. “Minneapolis is being built and strengthened by people from all over the world and I am grateful for their commitment to our city. I stand with them today and will continue to take that stand as the President-elect prepares to take office.” Complete and utter bullshit of course, typical liberal hypocrisy and virtue signalling where the reality is whether you are black, brown or pale skinned, Hodges and her criminal city administration don't give a flying fuck about you if you are not Muslim.

Following the brutal murder of local woman Justine Damond at the hands of a Somali Muslim cop, recent renewed interest in the story has revealed disturbing ties between Hodges and the killer. The rabildly liberal mayor lobbied senior police oficers toi secure him a position at the police department, gushing all over social media about how Officer Mohamed Noor was such an upstanding citizen, and the bright and shining example for Muslim migration and assimilation into the city of Minneapolis, simply because, for hypocritical virtue signalling reasons she was determined to have a Somali, any Somali, on the city police force. What this stupid, emotionally cripples liberal bitch did not understand was that Solali's are the most primitive and tribalistic of all African races and believe it is perfectly acceptable to rape, brutalize, torture or kill any non Somali. In other words they are perfect recruits to any multicultural dystopia.

“I want to take a moment to recognize Officer Mohamed Noor, the newest Somali officer in the Minneapolis Police Department,” Hodges burbled on Facebook. “Officer Noor has been assigned to the 5th Precinct, where his arrival has been highly celebrated, particularly by the Somali community in and around Karmel Mall.”

You bet it was celebrated by the Somali community, no somali cop would ever act to protect a white Asian or African American from another Somali, that would break tribal law. It's happening in Germany, France and and Sweden, to a lesser extent in London where established British black, Nigerian, Pakistani and established Black British, Nigerian, Pakistani and East European European gangs are doing more to keep the Somali hyenas in check than the police are allowed to do. In the north we have our own ways of dealing with animals, and we make sure nobody is looking. 

How many more innocent people will die at the hands of Muslim  before the love affair between Muslims and liberals / progressives / lefties is ended? Muslim migrants have proved beyond dispute they have no intentions of assimilating into western society, as an Indian (Hindu) friend of mine said last year, "how can you leaders say that given a few years they will integrate, they've been in India a thousand years and still have not integrated. As long as The Powers That Be encourage the stone age morons to flood Amerocan and European cities at accelerating rates while helping them obtain  positions within the police, education system and public services, white women will continue to be targeted for rape or simply killed in cold blood for being white, while murder, sexual violence and terror become the new normal as 'little Africas' are created throughout the civilised world.

Will The New Seaborne Laser Weapon System Tip The balance Of Military Power Back Towards America.

by Xavier Connolly

If you believe what you read or see from mainstream media, you will now be rejoicing or quaking in your boots at the latest press releases from The Pentagon. For some years defence analysts have been warning that US politicians, media commentators and devotees of the idea of American exceptionalism were deluding themselves in clinging to their faith in the superiority of US military technology to deter challenges from rival powers to American geopolitical dominance.

The Defense Department in Washington have recently announced that their latest weapon, a seaborne laser cannon is close to being ready for operational use. Press releases hint that the laser weapon will be a game changer. Unfortunately Iran, an ally of Russia and China, lead the world in this area of technology and if Iran has it you can bet Russia and China do to, or at least they have a deal with Iran to make the weapons available to them if needed.

US Navy has started operational tests of what they claim is the world's first drone-killing laser which is reportedly able to move at the speed of light and to be 'more precise than a bullet'. Laser weapons, which have been in development for decades, project a tight beam of directed photons (light) that strike their target almost instantaneously. In tests energy released at light frequencies from the weapon downed a target drone by setting its wing on fire.

The beam is silent and because it operates at a frequency above the visible light range is not visible to the human eye. The Laser Weapons System (LaWS) has its own generator and uses no solid ammunition. Said to be highly accurate, it is expected to be very effective when used against small, speedy targets, including incoming rockets, small drones and artillery shells.

The cost is said to be "about a dollar a shot" (not counting the billions of dollars spent on development.

 The 30-kilowatt laser weapon has been installed on the USS Ponce, currently deployed in the Persian Gulf. It is predicted to be fully operational by 2020. A full-power hundred-kilowatt Free Electron Laser is slated for testing in 2018, and will probably be installed on the Navy’s new Zumwalt-class stealth destroyers. The Navy plans to create 150 kilowatts lasers in more distant future.

According to what the media is telling us, the US has made a great leap forward in the race to acquire a death ray superweapon, which will give the military a critical advantage over any potential enemy in the world.

The announcement and the tests, which Russia, China and other emerging powers such as India and Pakistan as well as NATO allies will now be watching, testify to the US Navy's having achieved some progress in developing a small-scale laser weapon system capable of striking small targets at limited ranges. What is lacking is an objective review. As mainstream media are these days little more than a propaganda arm of government, I will just have to give it my best shot and hope my engineering experience is up to the task.

Abilities and limitations of Laser Weapons Systems.

Directed energy weapons, including lasers and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons are still in their infancy. While EMP weapons offer the potential of being effective if fired from great distances, the maximum range of lasers is limited as laser energy is relatively quickly diffused in the atmosphere, indeed adverse atmospheric conditions such as dust, snow or heavy rain, smoke or fog can render them ineffective. Atmospheric absorption, scattering, and turbulence will all prevent shipboard lasers from being effective all weather weapons.

A laser beam does not instantly burn through denser materials such as metals. The time needed to inflict a level of damage that would disable a large airborne vehicle or heavy projectile is unfeasible when the target is moving at flight speeds. With no explosive impact, a laser could fail to stop the target. In theory, laser weapons are best used for defensive operations, but better defensive weapons are already available.

The LaWS has a very limited operational range – one to three km. Modern warships would not need to go that close to a US ship equipped with this system in order to disable it. Lasers are no substitute for anti - aircraft guns or surface to air missiles. They cannot be used as primary strike weapons due to the poor range.

The operator of a laser weapon may be hampered by movement of the target, movement of the firing platform, decoys or multiple war warheads that have already been developed and that the enemy may use. Countermeasures to laser guidance also include laser detection systems, smoke screen and anti-laser active protection systems. Coating materials that can absorb or reflect laser energy are also available according to military publications.

Are the claims of laser weapons' low cost justified? Getting off a blast of laser energy may well cost only a dollar, but a laser’s sophisticated optical guidance system and focusing lenses are not cheap. The weapon is fast from firing to striking, but a target must be designated and a complex procedure carried out to  ensure accuracy. Mainstram media may suggest it is as easy as firing a water pistol, but it does take a few seconds, precious seconds that might not be available in a conflict situation.. So, it is not exactly “the speed of light”. Apart from that, seaborne laser weapons will be installed on a platform vulnerable to precision-guided weapons.

 With all the limitations mentioned above, the weapon will not likely be ready for prime time anytime soon.

Hype aside, The USS Ponce had this weapon for quite some time as is evident from the rust which can be seen forming on the mounting brackets when the publicity video does a closeup.
