CIA Director Brennan Warns Islamic State Militants Are Entering USA As Refugees
Speaking to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday CIA Director John Brennan warned that Islamic State militants are training operatives and preparing strategies for further attacks on the West, probably relying more on classic guerrilla hit-and-run tactics to compensate for their territorial losses in the middle east.
Reading from a prepared script before the Committee, Brennan said that ISIS has been building an infrastructure network that would enable them to direct and inspire attacks against its foreign enemies on their own soil, as in the recent attacks in Paris and Brussels. "ISIL has a large cadre of Western fighters who could potentially serve as operatives for attacks in the West," Brennan said.
More importantly, he said Islamic State is working to smuggle militants into various countries, among refugee flows or through legitimate means of travel.
Brennan also noted the group's call for followers of Islam to conduct so-called lone-wolf attacks in their home countries. He called last week's attack in Orlando a "heinous act of wanton violence" and an "assault on the values of openness and tolerance" that define the United States as a nation.
It is unclear how Brennan's testimony can be interpreted as assuring Americans of the reliability of Obama's claim that the Orl;ando attack was not the result of a "radicalized Islamic terrorist." If anything, the CIA director's warning confirms the concerns voiced by Donald Trump that the USA has becomr the primary target for deadly ISIS attacks.
.
Brennan also said IS is gradually cultivating its international branches: the branch in Libya is likely the most advanced and most dangerous to date, but IS has opened franchises in Afgfhanistan, Philipines and Indonesia and is present in other Asian nations and is trying to increase its influence in Africa, he said.
The IS branch in the Sinai has become the "most active and capable terrorist group in Egypt," attacking the Egyptian military and government targets in addition to foreigners and tourists, such as the downing of a Russian passenger jet last October.

German Politician Predicts White Germans Will Be A Minority. Faces Calls to Quit.
Erica Steinbach: Does her self hatred arise from the fact she's so sexually repellent the Muslim rape squad visited her street and did not kick her door down. (Image Source)
I can understand that the hand wringing, breast beating, emotionally needy, brain dead twunts who are constantly screaming and shouting about "Yooman rights" have the sale level of intelligence as a housebrick, but it's still hard to swallow the fact that these idiots believe human rights are something only non Europeans, gays, lesbians. retards and selected religious nuts (but not Christians), should have, and that when a person who self - identifies as a member of one of these moronities a demand something, then it must be treated as an 'inalieable' human right.
It is entirely consistent with this view then that I am fully behind the sensible Germans calling for the resignation of the
One of the most gobsmackingly idiotic tendencies of the politically correct left is their facility for deceiving themselves that various African tribal minorities, Arab and Indian subcontenent migrants on arriving in Germany will suddenly find that after dedication themselves to killing and enslaving each other ever since men first stood erect, they can live together in peace and harmony.
Well I did tell you these FAOs (female anterior orifice - people tell me the colloquial term is offensive) are stupid. I mean, how fucking abjectly brainless do you have to be to campaign for the extinction of your own race?

EU Enlargement Commissioner Accuses Russia Of Flooding Europe With Migrants
The place where Finland, Norway and Russia meet, note the swarms of refugees crossing from Russia into Europe (image source)
Did you know the EU had an Englargement Commissioner, in fact do most Europeans know the EU has massive plans to enlarge Europe into Africa and the middle east. More on that down the page, but I'm sure it will come as a surpise to this blog's French, German and Polish regular readers and the visitors we get less regularly from all around the EU, just as it will to our loyal following in Russia, British readers and many of our American friends who like to follow the breakdown of civilization as it is progressing all around the globe..
We have learned that The European Union’s (EU) Enlargement Commissioner has claimed Russia is working to destabilize the continent by flooding it with migrants from Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. This suggests the Englargement Commissioner is one of those nutty bureaucrats who has been busy trying to think of ways to demonize Russia in the hope of eroding EU members opposition to the all out war the USA, Turkey and Saudi Arabia have been pushing for, and this is the best he could come up with.
Speaking in an interview with Germany’s Zeit, EU Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn articulated his view that it was “no coincidence” that refugees were suddenly appearing on Europe’s northern borders from the Russian Federation, and hinted at a hidden plan to destroy Europe.
Mr. Hahn, who has the responsibility of extending the Europeann Union into the middle east, Africa and central Asia (what could be considered the Russian sphere of influence,) told a pres conferences: “We have observed in northern Europe a new phenomenon. More and more refugees [are coming] from Russia to Finland and Norway”.
Despite acknowledging the actual volume of refugees arriving from Russia was insignificant, Mr. Hahn said he suspected a conspiracy where refugees from central Asia were being used unwittingly to further political goals. He explained: “The numbers are not so high. Disturbingly, however, are the political signals that stand behind it. It is no coincidence this happening now”.
This man truly has taken leave of his senses. Does he know how cold it gets at this time of year on Norway's bordr with Russia, which is waaayyy above the arctic circle.
Mr. Hahn said these particular refugees, Tajiks and Turkmens, had lived in Russia for many years but were suddenly being passed on now, and they had probably received assistance to make it to the Norwegian and Finnish borders. When asked by the paper whether he was indeed inferring that Russia was deliberately dumping migrants on Europe to exacerbate the migrant crisis, Mr. Hahn said “it is striking that this should happen just at the moment where the EU is already under severe pressure" (from the numbers of illrgal immigrants arriving)..
Despite Mr. Hahn’s claims, Norway is not a member of the European Union, even though it is of the Schengen free-travel zone. Russia however is not part of the open borders arrangement and is rather strict about who passes in and out of its territory. The entire notion is idiotic, particularly when EU bureaucrats refuse to condemn Turkey for flooding the EU with migrants while simultaneously trying to blackmail Brussels for cash in return for help in controlling the flow of immigrants.
Apparently pre-empting the EU commissioner’s comments, Russian ambassador to the European Union Vladimir Chizov spoke in an interview with Euractive and denied the suggestion that Russia wanted to see the EU weakened.
Responding to the accusation that Russia was clandestinely campaigning for Britain to leave the EU, and thus see the continental power bloc less potent he remarked: “No. I wonder why people think that Russia would want to destabilise the EU, or to break it up. That has never been the aim of Russian foreign policy.
While we do not entirely accept that Russia has no interest in the destabilizing effect of a British exit on the EU, there is no evidence to suggest that The Kremlin is pursuing a strategy aimed at encouraging a 'Leave' vote. The EU will do more than enough to encourage UK voters to vote out, the only danger is that the scaremongering of Cameron and his cronies will prompt the faint hearted to cling to the devil they know.

The Source Of Islamic Radicalism Is biggest US Ally In The Middle East
From the fall of The Ottoman Empire after World War 1, Throughout the rest of the 20th century into 21st, the evolution of Islamic culture has not been rational. Rather than moving forwards with Europe and North America, India and (rather belatedly due to communism) China, the main Islamic nations seem to have slid backwards toward medievalism. If we accept that social selection (or social conditioning) plays the same role in the evolution of societies as natural selection plays in the biological sciences: that is the traits, norms and values which are most conducive to strengthening the cultural community are favoured, then we see why, even as the 'progressives' scream about white privilege, Europe and the USA have manage to streak ahead of other cultures in terms of lifestyle, material benefits, health and longevity. Seen from this angle, social diversity is a desirable quality for social progress; because when diverse customs and value-systems compete with each other, the culture retains the beneficial customs and values and discards the deleterious traditions and habits. Diversity however is a bit more complex than simply lumping people of different skin colours together.
The irony is that cultures rich in diversity, such as those of Europe and North America, with populations formed of well educated and highly individualistic people is less well equipped to survive when the going gets tough than a highly centralized and tightly organized society such as those dominated by religion.
A decentralized and unorganized religion, like Sufi Islam or protestant Christianity, encourage diversity of belief and interpretation and this diversity tends to neutralise the messages of extremist groups. On the other hand, theocratic authoritarianism depends more on dogma and threat of osratacism or excommunication rather than gaining appeal through the moral framework and community bonds it offers. A centralized religion is also less receptive to change that a more liberally structured religion.
The resurgence of religious extremism and the consequent militancy and terrorism in Syria, Iraq and the Afghan - Pakistan region in particular and the Islamic world in general is not a natural evolution of religion, some mutations have occurred which have spread the whole of Islamic world. Most Pakistani political commentators blame the Afghan and Pakistani political establishment for promoting religious extremism and militancy throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s in order to create a Jihadi narrative which served the totalitarian instincts of and strategic objectives of military governments.
The Af-Pak region however is a fairly isolated and non typical manifestation of Islam (as anyone who has watched the Sean Connery / Michael Caine move "The Man Who Would be King" will understand although the producers wisely followed author Rudyard Kipling in setting the story in a fictional country with a fictional religion,) but the support of Pakistani armed services for Islamic jihadism during the late stages of the Cold War is only one factor in many that have to be considered in order to reach a comprehensive understanding of the phenomena of Islamic radicalism and the agents that are responsible for it. The resurgence of extremism is not limited to the Af-Pak region, the whole of Islamic world from Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria in north Africa to Nigeria, Congo and Kenya in sub Saharan Africa, the Balkans and Caucasian nations in Europe, India and Indonesia. Muslim minorities in Malaysia, Thailand, China and Philippines have also become involved in seditious protest and efforts to destabilise nations in parts of the world where the Pakistani military have no influence whatsoever
It is becoming more and more obvious as evidence stacks up, the real culprit behind the rise of Islamic extremism and jihadism in the Islamic world is Saudi Arabia. The “Aal-e-Saud” (the descendants of Saud) have no hereditary claim to “the Throne of Mecca” since they are not the descendants of the prophet, nor even from the tribe of Quraysh (custodians of throne of Mecca from the pagan era,) of whom the Koran says:
For the protection of Quraysh: their protection in their summer and winter journeyings. Therefore let them worship the Lord of this House who fed them in the days of famine and shielded them from all peril." (Surah 106:1-2)
The Quraysh were the most primitive nomadic tribesmen of Najd who defeated the Sharifs of Mecca violently after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in the First World War. Their title to the throne of Saudi Arabia is only de facto and not de jure, since they have no hereditary claim to the Saudi monarchy nor do they hold elections to ascertain the will of the Saudi people. Thus, they are the illegitimate rulers of Saudi Arabia, installed for political advantage by colonial powers France and Britain (the latter working through through the agency of Lawrence Of Arabia) after The Ottoman Empire collapsed in the years following 1918. Like all tyrannies that have seized power illegitimately they feel insecure because of their illegitimacy, a fact which explains their heavy-handed and brutal tactics in dealing with any kind of dissent, opposition or movement for reform in Saudi Arabia.
The phenomena of religious extremism and jihadism all over the Islamic world is directly linked to the Wahhabi-Salafi madrassahs which are generously funded by the Saudi and Gulf’s petro-dollars.
Another factor in the rise of Wahhabi-Salafi ideology throughout the Islamic world is the immigrant factor. Millions of Muslims, mainly single men, a few with women and families from all over heavily populated Third World Islamic countries live and work in the energy-rich Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Oman. Some of them permanently reside there but mostly they work on temporary work permits. Just like the pilgrims, when they come back to their native villages and towns, they also bring along the tales of Arab hospitality and their version of “authentic Islam.” Spending time in the Arab countries where The Prophet lived and travelled to spread his message entitles one to pass authoritative judgments on religious matters, and having a cursory understanding of Arabic, the language of Quran, makes one equivalent of a Qazi (a learned jurist) among the illiterate village folk; and they simply reproduce the customs and attitudes of the Arabs, whose Wahhabi and Salafist sects are the most extreme form of Islam, as the authentic Islam to their communities just as missionaries of the Roman Catholic Church for centuries maintained its domination by claiming the centralised, organised, hierachic and politically corrupt sect was 'the one true church of Christ.
In fact it is generally assumed about Sunni Islam that it discourages the authority of the clergy and in this sense, is closer to Protestantism, at least theoretically, because it prefers an individual and personal interpretation of scriptures and religion to the hierarchic theocracy of Shia. While this might be true for the enlightened, educated and westernised Sunni Muslims for the illiterate masses of the Third World Islamic countries “the House of Saud” plays the same role in Sunni Islam that the Pope plays in Catholicism.
When we hear slogans like “no democracy, just Islam” on the streets of the Third World Islamic countriell as in the bloodstained avenues of Paris, London or New York, it is tempting to ask what kind of an imbecile nation would forgo its right to choose the government through a democratic and election? Increasingly however we see democracy failing or being usurped by 'liberal' elites or socialist oligarchies. This is due to to a large extent to voters having been fed through media propaganda the 'pensée unique' fallacy that conflates democracy with with politically correct thinking. Democracy is only a political process of choosing one’s representatives and legislators through an electoral process, while liberalism is a cultural mindset. And in many democratic societies the determination of political, professional and academic elites that when it comes to gaining and holding power, the end justifies the means, is it any wonder social evolution has gone into reverse and we seem to be heading back to a kind of feudalism.

AirAsia Wreckage Only Deepens Latest Air Crash Mystery
The wreckage of AirAsia flight QZ8501 which now has been confirmed to have crashed this past weekend 40 minutes into its flight from Surabaya to Singapore, should now be a straightforward air disaster story, a terrible tragedy but the kind of thing that happens from time to time for very easily understood reasons. Unfortunately, like the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 in March and the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in August this latest of 2014's major air disasters is turning into another mystery that raises more questions the more we learn about it.
We must kick off with a quick recap on the rescue operation: Reuters reported earlier today, the wreckage appears to have been uncovered after rescuers said they have found the plane on the sea floor off Borneo, where sonar detected a large, dark object beneath waters near where debris and bodies were found on the surface.
Another anomaly has been the claim that rough seas and bad weather have hampered the search. Yet in the picture below of floating debris, allegedly from the AirAsia aircraft, the sea does not look particularly rough.
Ships and aircraft had been searching the Java Sea for Flight QZ8501 since Sunday, when it lost contact during bad weather about 40 minutes into its flight from Surabaya to Singapore. So far, the news feeds report, seven bodies have been recovered from the sea, this in itself should raise eyebrows as yesterday (Tuesday) it was reported forty bodied had been recovered. Still we can put the discrepancy down to journalistic over enthusiasm if you like.
Nothing surprising there, except perhaps that with all the technology modern aircraft carry, it took the rescue operation so long to locate the crash zone. From there however the story starts to get really strange. From Reuters we learn that "a body recovered on Wednesday from the crashed AirAsia plane was wearing a life jacket, an Indonesian search and rescue official said, raising new questions about how the disaster unfolded.
That would support a theory that it suffered an aerodynamic stall. This morning, a total of four bodies were recovered, one of them reportedly of them was wearing a life jacket," Tatang Zaenudin, an official with the search and rescue agency, told Reuters. He declined to speculate on what the find might mean. AirAsia Chief Executive Tony Fernandes told reporters there had been no confirmation yet of the sonar image, nor of the discovery of the body wearing a life jacket. And as we reported yesterday, the floating wreckage looked as if it could have come from one of the numerous refugee boats that sink in these waters.
Where is the mystery? As Reuters comments, the fact that one person put on a life jacket suggests those on board had time before the aircraft hit the water, or before it sank. And yet the pilots did not issue a distress signal. The plane disappeared after it asked for permission to fly higher and deviate from its planned course to avoid bad weather."
A pilot who works for a Gulf carrier said the life jacket indicated the cause of the crash was not "catastrophic failure". Instead, the plane could have stalled and then come down, possibly because its instruments iced up and gave the pilots inaccurate readings.
"If there was time to put on a life jacket it means the thing didn't just fall out of the sky," said the pilot, who declined to be identified.
So what does that leave u with? A plunging plane with over 160 people on board, a very experienced pilot, in fact a former air force fighter pilot with 6,100 flying hours under his belt, a sturdy Airbus 320 with hardly any crashes or fatalities in its history, one that last underwent maintenance just a month ago in mid-November... and then suddenly everything goes to hell, the pilots lose control and are somehow "too overloaded" to send a distress call?
Hardly; in fact the story makes no sense at all, which brings us to the latest unexplained airplane crash mystery.
Which is why we expect this story to be promptly revised as this type of loose end is hardly acceptable to those who like to control every narrative.
UPDATE:
Since I sat down to write this story an update has come in:
from Reuters (a little way down the page):
Tatang Zaenudin, an official with Indonesia's search and rescue agency, said earlier that one of the bodies had been found wearing a life jacket. But he later said no victim had been recovered with a life jacket on. "We found a body at 8.20 a.m. and a life jacket at 10.32 a.m. so there was a time difference. This is the latest information we have," he told Reuters.

Floating Debris Is From Missing Air Asia Jet - Or Is It
contributed by Ed. Butt
As a wave of comment on internet news suites about the similarities between the disappearance of an AirAsia Airbus, flight QZ8501 on a routine trip from Jave to singapore and the equally inexplicable disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 in the same area en route from Kuala Lumpur nine months ago, it was quite predictable that while there remains no trace of MH370, this time floating debris and bodies have been found at the alleged crasah site.
For reasons of sensitivity new organisations are quite properly not publishing images of the bodies, however images of the 'floating debris' from the wrecked plane have been widely circulated. Problem is, what is shown does not look like wreckage from an aircraft, it looks like junk that could have come from any of the small, overloaded boats of dubious seaworthyness that sinks in the waters of the Java Sea while carrying refugees / asylum seekers / impoverished migrats in search of a new life.
The floating debris offered as 'proof' that the place where the AirAsia aircraft crashed into the sea had been found.
Given the strangeness of the circumstances surrounding the aircraft's disappeance (a large, modern airliner of a type with an excellent safety record simply disappeared off radar with no trace), bloggers like Boggart Blog were entirely justified in asking during the 72 hours between the loss being reported and news of the debris, WTF was going on.
Now the story that is supposed to quell rumour and gossip is actually raising more questions. And then there's this:
from Prison PlanetAirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes dumped 944,800 shares in Tune Insurance Holdings Bhd, the organization that provides travel insurance for AirAsia passengers, just days before the disappearance of Flight QZ8501.
On December 26, the Malaysian Insider reported that Fernandes, the founder of Tune Group Sdn Bhd which owns AirAsia, had sold a total of 944,800 shares in Tune Insurance Holdings Bhd, with 850,000 shares being dumped on December 22, and the other 94,800 being sold the day after.
According to its official website, Tune Insurance Holdings Bhd is “an insurance product manager” for AirAsia in which “insurance products are sold to (AirAsia) customers as part of their online booking process.”
The share prices of AirAsia and Tune Insurance Holdings both fell on the first day of trading after the disappearance of Flight QZ8501, with the former shedding 12.9 percent at one point. Tune Insurance Holdings lost 0.6%.
Fernandes decision to dump the shares less than a week before AirAsia Flight QZ8501 disappeared over the Java Sea prompted some to speculate that he may have had prior knowledge of the incident.
“Did Fernandes know his company stock was about to take a hit? The timing is suspicious,” asks Heavy.com, adding, “If so, it indicates knowledge of an impending attack on AirAsia.”
The International Business Times adds that the move has prompted many to voice the theory that Fernandes, “possibly knew about an impending attack on one of the company’s aircraft.”
The story bears some similarity to the unusual market activity in airline stocks that preceded the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. An “extraordinary” amount of ‘put options’ – speculation that a stock price will fall – were placed on United and American Airlines in the days leading up to 9/11.

We can only speculate as to the reasons Mr. Fernandez sold a big portion of his holding in Air Asia and the timing of the same, and at this stage one opinion is no better than another. What we do know is that the sell off happened, that much is a matter of public record as required by stock exchanges around the world. Given the timing of the sale, to suggest it is pure coincidence is stretching our credulity a little too far.
Other sources are saying the accident may have been due to a pilot / air traffic control worthy of amateurs. The pilot however was a vastly experienced flyer who knew the area and understood the conditions.

The plane’s pilot then asked to increase altitude from 32,000 to 38,000 feet due to the weather conditions, but the request was denied because there were six other planes in the vicinity. The pilots were instead approved to increase their altitude to 34,000 feet. Within three minutes, the plane had disappeared from radar contact entirely.
Unconfirmed secondary radar data of the plane’s flight reportedly show the plane was climbing toward 36,000 feet, at a speed of 353 knots, or approximately 650 kilometres per hour. Geoffrey Thomas, a Sydney-based aviation expert, said that, if true, this would be below the minimum safe speed for this altitude.
“The QZ8501 was flying too slow, about 100 knots [160 kilometres per hour]... too slow,” he told the British Daily Mail. “Essentially the plane is flying too slow for the altitude and the thin air, and the wings won’t support it at that speed and you get a stall, an aerodynamic stall.”
According to the newspaper, aviation experts have suggested that a build-up of ice on airspeed sensors, known as pitot tubes, might have given the pilots an incorrect speed measurement. False speed measurement due to icing is known to have contributed to the crash of Air France Flight AF447 on June 1, 2009 over the South Atlantic Ocean. The plane’s pilots were known to be manoeuvring to avoid storm clouds.
Thomas also said that the Airbus 320 is not equipped with the latest radar system for measuring storms and this may have led the pilots to misjudge the storm’s severity
