Leaked Document: United Nations Says Immigration Is Always Good And Should never Be Restricted

Only days after the European Court Of Human Rights (ECHR) gave a judgement with effectively reintroduced the notion of criminal blasphemy to Europe, but only for criticism of Islam (you can say what you like about Judaism and Christianity, and the more hateful and threatening the better,) a news reporter for German independent TV station RTL reported on a leaked United Nations document which reveals that corrupt bunch of Cultural Marxist paskudniaks plan to use immigration from third world shithole countries to destroy western civilisation. If you don't believe me just read the subtitles of the embedded video.

This blog has been telling you for fifteen years we are at war, not with Russia, China or Iran as mainstream media would have you believe but with the ruling elites of our own nations.

An RTL Commentator Utters Blasphemy Against the UN Migration Pact

Posted on November 2, 2018 by Baron Bodissey

RTL is the only major independent broadcaster in Germany. In the following clip from RTL, the commentator Jörg Zajonc expresses doubleplus ungood thoughts about the United Nations’ proposed migration pact.
Many thanks to MissPiggy for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:
Video transcript:

00:00		The U.N. Migration Pact, a wish-list detached from reality. Convolutedly
00:04		written, difficult to read and even more difficult to understand except for one claim:
00:08		Migration is good. It is always good and should never be restricted. Why?
00:12		No answer is given. The doubters are assured that it is just a consensus paper,
00:16		not legally binding. Officially that might be the case, but it IS binding — in a political and
00:22		moral sense. That can have legal consequences. That would mean anyone
00:26		can make a claim based on the Pact and take their case to court. What judge would
00:30		dare make a decision against the consensus? It comes from the U.N.
00:34		Additionally, it is noted in the pact that national laws should be taken into account,
00:38		but also encouraged that these national laws be adapted according to the interests
00:42		of the U.N. Then there’s the matter of “information”. There should be an open,
00:47		Fact-based discussion concerning this matter, but I ask how?
00:51		If the results are already established, the perception to be created should be more
00:55		realistic, humane, and more constructive. The media should involved in steering the
00:59		immigration. It says that — literally. And those who don’t play along, they will have
01:04		their financial support taken away. That’s written in there too!
01:08		There one thing that’s not explained in the Pact. If immigration is so great, then why
01:12		does it require a controlled information campaign or such a pact?

Canada Ruled By Politically Correct Stupidity?

We have long believed that the right place for Canadian women is barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. Only joking - we really believe Canadian men should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen too. Canadians have a lot in common with American liberals, for a start both breeds are irritatingly worthy and incredibly mooey (if you don't know what that means just think of a field full of cows, in an orgy of bovine docility standing around chewing the cud, farting and going moo all day.)

Where cattle and liberals and Canadians diverge however, according to the actions of their governments,  is cows can turn quite nasty if you threaten their young. Canadians and liberals are so afraid of upsetting anybody they make excuses for people of certain nationalities and religions who want to harm or sexually assault their young, they tell those of us with children or grandchildren we must learn to integrate with the quaint customs of Muslim migrants, like gang raping young children.

But it is not just politically - correctitis that cocksucker Trudeau and The Canadian government suffers from. Another problem for them is bad timing.

On Thursday, March 23, the Canadian Parliament passed a  blasphemy law specifically designed to protect Islam, which is unprecedented in Western democracies, where free speech is a right and freedom of worship includes the right to criticise and even mock all religions.

Al-Jazeera reported on Friday, the previous day's vote condemned "Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination." Naturally neither the Canadian government nor the media organisations which reported it could provide a coherent definition of what actually contitutes 'Islamophobia'. The non-binding motion that the Parliament passed also requested that a Parliamentary committee should launch a study to look at how to "develop a whole-of-government approach to reducing or eliminating systemic racism and religious discrimination, including Islamophobia". The motion passed by 201 votes to 91.
It is just as well for those 201 Canadian legislators that they were debating all this in their distinguished national Parliament rather than the mother of all Parliaments. For had these legislators been in the House of Commons in Westminster, their thoughts may have taken on a sharper focus.

Now this blog's contributors who have spent time in Canada feel the place is so maddeningly reasonable there was hardly any religious discrimination until Sunni Muslim extremists from middle eastern and African trouble spots started to flood in, accompanied by the kind of corruption, racism, bigotry and violence that make middle eastern and African trouble spots the lawless shit holes they are.  

Only one day before the snivelling, self righteous virtue signallers of the Canadian parliament invited Islamic extremists to shaft their country up the arse , the British House of Commons lived through an example of rampant Islamism rather than "Islamophobia". And though the incident turn Members of Parliament into a crazy Muslim-hating bigot, they did manage to acknowledge that Islamic extremism can turn people into hateful, murderous Muslim bigots who want to kill Christians, Jews, Atheists and most of all people who are the wrong sort of muslim. And they acknowledged that such extremism and bigotry can turn people into very dangerous lunatics when they are armed with the simple weapons of a knife and a motor vehicle. In 2016 the same thing was illustrated in France and Germany in well reported incidents and with less mainstream media coverage in Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and Denmark. There were also numerous shootings and knife attacks from the USA to Greece, and in all cases the perpetrators were radicalised Salafist Muslims. And apologies to the easily triggered, but to any reasonable person, that pattern is enough to establish beyond reasonable doubt a link between the fundamentalist Islamic Sunni sect and terrorism.

So in effect the cowardly, timorous, pusillanimous poltroons of the Canadian government are asking their citizens to tolerate and accept terrorists whose avowed aim is to exterminate all non Muslims. 

The Canadian Liberal MP Iqra Khalid (hmm, that name is a bit of a clue where her sympathies lie), who introduced the motion in Canada, proclaimed that the introduction of a de facto Islamic blasphemy law in Canada was needed because "We need to continue to build those bridges among Canadians, and this is just one way that we can do this." Hours before she said that, one of Khalid's co-religionists was using a bridge built more than a hundred and fifty years earlier for a very different purpose. But don't bridges in Muslim culture carry two way traffic. Because there seems to be no mention of banning Muslim hate preacher yelling "Death to Infidels," or demanding that pork be banned from Canadian menus because it offends Islam. Not much tolerance coming from their side it seems.

Khalid Masood of Birmingham decided to get himself on the fast track to heaven when he decided to drive  a hired SUV at high speed into crowds of workerss and tourists on London's Westminster Bridge . On his rampage, he managed to injure people from 11 countries. He killed Kurt Cochran, an American on holiday in London with his wife to celebrate their 25^th wedding anniversary. He also killed Aysha Frade, a British national of Spanish and Cypriot descent who had been walking across Westminster Bridge to pick up her two young daughters from school. He also killed Leslie Rhodes, a 75-year old retired window-cleaner, described by a neighbour, who sat at his bedside in hospital as he died, as "the nicest man you ever met." In support of what we said about American liberals being as spineless as Canadians, we can report Mr. Cochran's family said they bore no ill will towards his killer. What is wrong with these people that they think we should hug the terrorist shits who kill our family members.

Paramedics and members of the public tended the injured after the Westminster Bridge atrocity

There is only one reponse to terrorism. Ask yourself this: If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? (Act 3 Scene 1, The Merchant Of Venice, William Shakespeare - read full speech) OK, if you are Canadian write those lines in magic marker on a big, jagged lump of concrete rubble, then take it to where Justin Trudeau lives and ram it up his arse.

After the carnage on the bridge, the assailant, 52-year old Khalid Masood ran at the Houses of Parliament and stabbed to death Police Constable Keith Palmer, 48. The Palace of Westminster was put into lockdown. The scenario is eerily similar to an Islamist attack on the Parliament building at Ottawa in 2014, the assailant got disturbingly close to the very centre of power in the land before being shot dead. And that bunch of cunts in the Canadian Parliament want Canadian citizens to accept terrorist shits into their communities. WTF is wrong with these crazies. When a lunatic tells you they are coming round your house to kill you, it is irrational to tell them that you want to cooperate and will leave the door open.

Are Spineless, Snivelling Liberal Scum Suckers Bringing Back Blasphemy Crimes To The West For The Sake Of Sucking Up To Islamic Extremists?

All the signs suggest the Western democracies are submitting to pressure from Islamic extremists and reviving blasphemy laws, but applying them only to those who insult Islam. We are still free to be obscenely disrespectful to Christianity, Judaeism, Hinduism and buddhism. Canada and Denmark are leading the way back to medieval religious oppression. In Denmark for example, a blasphemy provision. Denmark still has a an archaic blasphemy provision still in the the penal code but not used for almost a century. So tolerant were the danes that a few years ago a man objecting to Christian dogma burned a Bible on television but faced no action in spite of complaints from Christians. Denmark's Attorney General has nevertheless just charged a man for burning a Quran.

In Canada meanwhile, anti-Islamophobia laws, aiming gradually to prohibit all criticism of Islam, and based on Muslim Sharia Law provisions on blasphemy, are being passed by national and state governments. The Ontario Provincial Parliament unanimously passed an anti-Islamophobia motion in February. The motion called on the legislature to "stand against all forms of hatred, hostility, prejudice, racism and intolerance; rebuke the... growing tide of anti-Muslim rhetoric and sentiments" and "condemn all forms of Islamophobia." Needless to say, no such motions were introduced to protect Judaism or Christianity. OMFG, don't you just hate those self - righteous blirts, The Canadians.

In October 2016, Canada's national Parliament passed an annti-Islamophobia motion, which was the result of a petition initiated by Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Samer Majzoub, president of the Canadian Muslim Forum. At the time, no one knew what they were condemning: Criticism of Islam? Criticism of Muslims? Discussing whether ISIS is a true manifestation of Islam? No one knew, as no one had bothered to define it, but the magic word Islamophobia was invoked and the sheeple saw a chance to suck up to a minority which frequently demands the death of all 'infidels.' (That's not a hate crime apparently.)

In the West, blasphemy has for centuries not been considered a crime. In largely secular societies few people take offense to blasphemous comments or acts. Christians do pursue alleged blasphemers with guns and knives, just as they do not behead unfaithful wives. Publishers do not worry about "offending" Christians but are likely to see their business shut down if some crazy Muslim takes offence.

but let's put things in perspective because nobody has ever defined 'Islamophobia'. Phobia is an irrational fear.
Rejection is a rational decision based upon Islam's violation of Western values of respecting fellow citizens. I reject Islam as I reject Christianity and Judaeism, all the abrahamic religions are authoritarian, oppressive and patriarchal. But with Islam there are further issues; the aforementioned beheadin, stoning of disobedient wives, public flogging of 'immodest' women and so one.

In an ostensibly free and openly questioning society such as Denmark and Canada claim to be, there is absolutely nothing wrong with presenting sensible, carefully-formulated arguments against Islam or any other religion or other manifestation of organized dogmatism, in ANY sphere (political, moral, scientific, etc.). Morever, radical and political elements of Islam seem particularly worthy of criticism and contempt in light of recent events. What is happening now is that even the mildest and most rational criticisms of certain branches of Islam are attracting outraged responses from extremists and the 'liberal' apologists for Islam among the Christian and non religious communities

Still more alarming and needful of careful scrutiny and steps toward pre-emption are the attempts by elites and elite-sponsored proxies to weaponize different groups, such as Islam, which is malleable due to its unique blend of political and religious attributes, and turn them against one another. In other words, never mind "irrational" fear; there are sinister forces at work which seem entirely deserving of "rational" fear.

A corollary to this is the complete absence of mainstream news coverage of recent genocide campaigns against Christian and Jewish groups (and occasionally people who are simply the wrong sort of Muslim,) in the Middle East, not to mention current events in Sweden, the Netherlands, France and elsewhere, which need to be placed under a magnifying glass for intelligent and informed and actionable, even forceful and unpleasant, public discourse. If these events were reported openly and fairly in our media (which they certainly are not), I believe the response across the entire western world would be dramatically different from stupid, misguided and potentially dangerous pseudo - liberal initiatives like Canada's M-103.

That said, Justin Trudeau may be a narcissist, and a fool, but I don't believe he or his Liberal government would be so foolish as to endorse M-103. He has Muslims in his cabinet and ought to have some inkling of the fact that elements of Islam like Sharia have no place and deserve no special protection in Canadian society. Rather, provisions should be made in anticipation of violent local attacks against Christians and other groups.

Nobody Expects The Politically Correct Inquisition

This blog has reported on the elite's attempts to suppress Free Speech thoughout the democtaic world. All those of us who have been paying attention have read in mainstream news or heard on TV or radio politicians from barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, Germany's Angela Merkel, President francois Hollande of France, top EU bureaucrats like Jean - Clause Juncker and Martin Schulz, and non political figures as diverse as financir George Soros and Holloywood luvvie Leonardo Di Caprio calling for the control of news and censorship of the internet to shiut down open debate on topics like climate change, migration and globalisation.

We have also heard of pop scientists like Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye the Science Guy and astrophysicist Brian Cox stamping their petuland little feet and demanding that modern science, like the medieval church be protected from critical examination or questioning. We have also seen scientists who go against the dogma of this Church of Sciencology have their reputations destroyed and their careers trashed. And for what? Doing what scientists should do by questioning the orthodoxy.

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SCIENCE INQUISITION! as Monty Phython's Flying Circus might have said.

Here's a very enlightening article from Gatestone Institute, written by Douglas Murray that exposes another official attack on free speech and fredom of thought.

Europe's New 'Blasphemy Courts' Exposed

Submitted by Douglass Murray via The Gatestone Institute,

• Europe is currently seeing the reintroduction of blasphemy laws through both the front and back doors, initiated in a country which once prided itself on being among the first in the world to throw off clerical intrusion into politics.
•  
• By prosecuting Wilders, the courts in Holland are effectively ruling that there is only one correct answer to the question Wilders asked. They are saying that if someone asks you whether you would like more Moroccans or fewer, people must always answer "more," or he will be committing a crime.
•  
• At no point would it occur to me that anyone saying he did not want an endless flow of, say, British people coming into the Netherlands should be prosecuted. Nor would he be.
•  
• The long-term implications for Dutch democracy of criminalising a majority opinion are catastrophic. But the trial of Wilders is also a nakedly political move.
•  
• The Dutch courts are behaving like a religious court. They are trying to regulate public expression and opinion when it comes to the followers of one religion. In so doing they obviously aspire to keep the peace in the short term, but they cannot possibly realise what trouble they are storing up for our future.

Europe is currently seeing the reintroduction of blasphemy laws through both the front and back doors. In Britain, the gymnast Louis Smith has just been suspended for two months by British Gymnastics. This 27-year old sportsman's career has been put on hold, and potentially ruined, not because of anything to do with athletics but because of something to do with Islam.

Last month a video emerged online of the four-time Olympic medal-winner and a friend getting up to drunken antics after a wedding.  

The video -- taken on Smith's phone in the early hours of the morning -- showed a friend taking a rug off a wall and doing an imitation of Islamic prayer rituals. When the video from Smith's phone ended up in the hands of a newspaper, there was an immediate investigation, press castigation and public humiliation for the young athlete. Smith -- who is himself of mixed race -- was forced to parade on daytime television in Britain and deny that he is a racist, bigot or xenophobe. Notoriously liberal figures from the UK media queued up to berate him for getting drunk or for even thinking of taking part in any mockery of religion. This in a country in which Monty Python's Life of Brian is regularly voted the nation's favourite comic movie.

After an "investigation," the British sports authority has now deemed Smith's behaviour to warrant a removal of funding and a two-month ban from sport. This is the re-entry of blasphemy laws through the back door, where newspapers, daytime chat-shows and sports authorities decide between them that one religion is worthy of particular protection. They do so because they take the religion of Islam uniquely on its own estimation and believe, as well as fear, the warnings of the Islamic blasphemy-police worldwide.

The front-door reintroduction of blasphemy laws, meantime, is being initiated in a country which once prided itself on being among the first in the world to throw off clerical intrusion into politics. The Dutch politician Geert Wilders has been put on trial before. In 2010 he was tried in the courts for the contents of his film "Fitna" as well as a number of articles. The trial collapsed after one of the expert witnesses -- the late, great Dutch scholar of Islam, Hans Jansen -- revealed that a judge in the case had tried in private to influence him to change his testimony. The trial was transparently rigged and made Dutch justice look like that of a tin-pot dictatorship rather than one of the world's most developed democracies. The trial was rescheduled and, after considerable legal wrangling, Wilders was eventually found "not guilty" of a non-crime in 2011.

But it seems that the Dutch legal system, like the Mounties, is intent on always getting its man. On Monday of this week the latest trial of Geert Wilders got underway in Holland. This time Wilders is being tried because of a statement at a rally in front of his supporters in March 2014. Ahead of municipal elections, and following reports of a disproportionate amount of crimes being committed in Holland by Muslims of Moroccan origin, Wilders asked a crowd, "Do you want more or fewer Moroccans in this city and in the Netherlands?" The audience responded, "Fewer, fewer." To which Wilders responded, "Well, we'll arrange that, then."

Opinion polls suggest that around half the Dutch public want fewer Moroccans in the Netherlands and many opinion polls going back decades suggest that the Dutch people want less immigration in general. So at the very least Wilders is being put on trial for voicing an opinion which is far from fringe. The long-term implications for Dutch democracy of criminalizing a majority opinion are catastrophic. But the trial of Wilders is also a nakedly political move.

Whether or not one feels any support for Wilders's sentiments is not in fact the point in this case. The point is that by prosecuting someone for saying what he said, the courts in Holland are effectively ruling that there is only one correct answer to the question Wilders asked. They are saying that if someone asks you whether you would like more Moroccans or fewer, people must always answer "more," or they will be committing a crime. What kind of way is that to order a public debate on immigration or anything else? People may say, "He wouldn't be allowed to say that about any other group of people." And Wilders himself may not say that about any group of people, because he has his own political views and his own interpretation of the problems facing his country.

It is worth trying a thought-experiment: If Wilders or any other politician got up and asked a crowd "Do you want more or fewer British people in Holland," I may not -- as a British person -- feel terribly pleased with him for asking the question, or terribly happy with the crowd if they chanted "Fewer." Although if British expats in Holland were responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime and disorder in the country, some mitigating sympathy for the sentiment may be forthcoming. But at no point would it occur to me that anyone saying he did not want an endless flow of British people coming into the Netherlands should be prosecuted. Nor would he be.

Like the behaviour of the British Gymnastics association, the Dutch courts are behaving like a religious court. They are trying to regulate public expression and opinion when it comes to the followers of one religion. In so doing, they obviously aspire to keep the peace in the short term, but they cannot possibly realise what trouble they are storing up for our future.
