EU to Keep Part of TTIP Trade Deal Papers Under Wraps

One of the things about the dodgy trade deal being pushed through between the USA and EU, the Trans Atlantic Trade And Investment Partnership (TTIP) is the secrecy that has surrounded negotiations. Even elected representatives, members of European national assemblies such as the UK Parliament and the German Bundestag have not been allowed to know what is in it.

That alone should tell you beyond reasonable doubt that the so called 'free trade' deal (which is actually very little to do with trade and a lot to do with transferring sovereignty over vital areas of national law and administration from national governments to global corporate businesses) is bad for the people and good for the elites.

Even now as the bureaucratic dictatorship in Brussels and the wretched Obama administration in Washington push to get the deal, nicknamed Obamatrade, completed before the worst American President ever leaves office, the officials in charge of negotiations are reluctant to release details to the public or the media.

The European Commission does not plan unveiling all documents on the EU-US free trade deal, Europe's top trade official said in an op-ed published in a French newspaper on Friday.

The publication in Le Monde comes less than two weeks before the 13th round of EU-US talks on the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) kicks off in New York on April 25.

"Certain documents must stay confidential, either those related to tactical comments directly referencing Europe’s negotiating stance or those citing US documents, which are not for us to publish," EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstroem said in the article.

The TTIP deal, which aims to deregulate trade US-EU trade, has been criticized for lack of transparency, prompting the Commission to publish some of the TTIP documents.

Malmstroem stressed that TTIP documents in question would be made available to national parliaments of EU member states, offering a degree of openness that had not been there before. Parliaments will also be the last to decide on the trade pact once the Commission is done negotiating it, she added.

European lawmakers have laid down a set of principles they want to be observed during the ongoing talks, including greater transparency, inviolability of social and environmental standards, and respect of EU’s red lines, she continued.

Last year, the secretive deal sparked widespread concern that it would lower environmental, health, safety, and workers’ rights standards in Europe, as well as enable the extra-judicial settlement of disputes in circumvention of national sovereignty.

Here's an extract from Malmstrom's Le Monde article translated into English

By Cecilia Malmström
Like any major initiative, the Transatlantic Partnership on Trade and Investment (TTIP) raises many concerns and hopes, giving rise to a lively debate about its purpose and its methods. One thing is certain: the role of national parliaments in the democratic control of the negotiations will be crucial as people who read the article by sixty [European] parliamentarians published in Le Monde will recall.

This forum demonstrates the commitment of Members of Parliament to exercise fully their role of elected representatives in the democratic control of the negotiations for over two years with the United States. This is not surprising: these negotiations are important for Europe, and also for France, which is a key player in the transatlantic relationship, which has always been about globalization of trade.

These parliamentarians set conditions for successful negotiations which I fully share: transparency at all levels, reciprocity between the parties, intransigence on social and environmental standards, which can be changed only to the highest bidder, respecting our red lines and the refusal of any private arbitration tribunal in favor of a global accountability for investment.

The Commission will not yield anything on defending the European agricultural and food model. Beef hormones or chlorinated chicken remain in the United States. The goal of negotiations is rather to promote our agricultural model, to obtain recognition of controlled appellations and support our exports high value added dairy products, wine and spirits or processed food. Imperative that we get more openness and reciprocity in public procurement and services. These are all vital interests for France and 22,000 companies that export overseas. They will be reflected in the final agreement.

Unfortunately, as you may have guessed, all that is total bollocks. The 'sixty parliamentarians' were all from parties fully committed to the abolishing the sovereignty of Europe's member states and absorbing the whole of the EU plus those Balkan, East European, middle eastern and north African states that figure in the bureaucracy's expansion plans into a single, federal superstate.

That is why we British must vote LEAVE and support popular movements in other states that are calling for IN / OUT votes. The EU is not transparent, not democratic and it is certainly not economically sound.

Four Hundred Thousand Premature Deaths Due To Climate Change

Scottish nationalist Party MEP took issue with carbon dioxide driven climate change sceptic James Delingpole recently, complaing in an article for breitbart London titled:

‘McBerk’ Fires Back At Delingpole: ‘Whether You Believe In Climate Change Or Not, Something Has To Be Done To Save Lives’

(Ian Duncan MEP - Breitbart, London)

Cars are driving climate change says Ian (McBerk) Duncan MEP who commutes between Scotland, Brusseks and Strasbourg by jet airliner. (Image source)

.... the European Union (EU) had expended considerable effort to limit emissions from industry and little effort limiting emissions from transport which is responsible for 25 per cent of all greenhouse gases. While Eurocrats worked to close various coal-fired power stations they seemed blithely indifferent to the fact that their headquarters was located on one of the most polluted streets in Europe. You can read my article here.

I noted that some pretty generous subsidies had failed to turn drivers on to electric cars, and that year on year the electric share of the EU fleet was actually falling. I’ve written before about electric cars, noting that since electricity is still generated mostly from hydrocarbons (often coal), then the cars are still pretty much fuelled by fossils. Check out the article here.

It was therefore something of a surprise when James Delingpole skidded his car to a halt in the pages of this publication, belching out the most noxious nonsense I have read in some time. I was accused of being, in no particular order, a Euro-technocrat living the ‘dream’, a ‘McBerk’ who didn’t understand the significance of fossil fuels, the reason why Conservatives have left the Party, an EU ‘inner’ and someone about to become an ‘Insect Overlord’ of the EU.

Where to begin?

As a geologist and former employee of BP, I am aware of the importance of hydrocarbons to the functioning of our world, all the more so as a Scottish MEP; the North Sea remains vital to our economy. Despite the claims of many, we are not but a small step away from full decarbonisation, and no where is this more evident than in transport sector: there are 240 million vehicles in the EU, with only 419,000 powered by electricity ...

Later in the article Mr. Duncan says:

Yet perhaps the most important figure in the debate is this: 400,000 premature deaths are caused by air pollution each year across the EU. That’s almost the population of Edinburgh. So, no matter whether you believe climate change is real or not, something needs to be done to save lives now.

The first thing that struck me was use of the phrase 'premature deaths'. Short of war, murder, catastrophe or fatal accidents, people die of disease or age related health failure. Nobody can predict how long an individual will live, thus unless Mr. Duncan means that some 400,000 people in whom death has occurred before they have actually turned up their toes are still walking around. What an amazing idea, someone should make a TV series out of it, the show would run for years.

On a more serious note however, the writer needs to explain what he means by 'air pollution'? Is he one of those unscientific scientists who has been brainwashed into believing totally harmless Carbon Dioxide is not only an 'air pollutant' but the only air pollutant?

In fact it is typical of the global warming lobby's institutioonalised dishonesty that they conflate atmospheric CO2 with air pollution. They are not the same thing. Premature deaths are of course subjective....40,000 ACTUAL deaths (as recorded by medical professionals and public notaries every winter in Europe....

are caused by energy poverty, due to sky high energy costs imposed by political pressure from green zealots ... we could save those live!

Duncan's whole article is based on the false premise that equates the clean, natural and necessary for life, carbon dioxide, an essential constituent of our atmosphere, with air pollution. Assuming for a moment the suspiciously round number of 'premature deaths' to be correct, wouldn't that have more to do with the EU's drive towards diesel vehicles at the expense of much cleaner (but slightly more CO2 emitting) petrol vehicles?

Low And Middle Income Whites and Blacks Feel Threatened As Crime Soars Under Obama

News out today reveals another social catastrophe to chalk up to the cedit of the failed Obama administration.

A growing number of low-income American citizens, with African-Americansprominent among them, feel increasingly threastened by soaring crime rate, particularly violent and sexual crimes, according to a new poll.

The poll also reveals there is little extra concern declared by upper-income, managerial and professional class , Democratic-supporting Americans about rising crime in their neighborhoods. So in spite of all that 'soaring rhetoric' (with the personal pronouns strongly emphasised, in which Obama promised "I" will work to crease a post racial society in MY country," and bollocks like that,the corporate owned Obama administration has in fact reintroduced a kind of segregation.

The poll, conducted by Gallup, found that 53 percent of respondents now “worry a great deal” about rising crime and violence. That is a rapid rise — in 2014, just 39 percent were worried a” great deal” by crime.

Among swing-voting independents, concern rose from 36 percent to 53 percent, while the number of Republicans, seriously worried rose 15 points up to 53 percent, bringing it level with the 52 percent concern among Democrats.

Seventy percent of people with high-school level education but only 32 percent of people with college degrees said they were worried a great deal about crime. Those two numbers have risen by 20 points and 1 point, respectively, since 2014.

Concern among middle-income people has risen by 20 points since 2014, up to 57 percent. Among upper-income people, concern has apparently risen by only eight points, to merely 36 percent.

Donald Trump, whose populist stance has made him front runner for the Republican Presidential candidacy has made the rising crime-rate a major plank in his campaign platform. Last year Trump angered liberals when he said the USA needs to “give power back” to our police officers in order to fight the rising crime. He added to that claim when he said "police are the most mistreated people in America."

Trump has been so pro-police he even claimed he’d support a policy of making the death penalty mandatory for killing police officers.

But when the numbers are broken down farther it appears non-white respondents are far more worried than whites. Forty-six percent of whites worry a great deal about crime, but 68 percent of non-whites are worried a great deal. As Paul Mirengoff of Powerline commented, "The reason for the disparities seems obvious. Crime, violence, and drugs afflict nonwhite communities more than white ones."

This is perhaps because infiltration by 'liberals' and leftists has politicised both the legal establishment and the political bodies which oversee policing, making politically correct action paramount, thus justice is no longer blind but sees no further than the colour of the perpetrator's skin.

Gallup has asked the same poll questions on crime question since 2001. At that time 62 percent said they worried a great deal about crime but by 2002 it had fallen to 49 percent. By 2014 it fell even further to only 39 percent.

Why Won’t The Panama Papers Lefty Leakers Expose EU or American Establishment Figures?

Soros the Puppeteer (Image: Syrian Free Press)

EU Financial Services Chief Jonathan Hill is set to make a statement to the European Parliament on the highly topical subject of 'tax havens' today.

Hill is Britain’s most senior Commissioner and a close political ally of Prime Minister David Cameron who is under the cosh because of his family's involvement in an offshore fund, the existence of which, though known of before, has been highlighted by the leaking of the Panama Papers.

"This is a carefully thought through but ambitious proposal for more transparency on tax," Hill said in a statement ahead of the plan’s release, "While our proposal … is not of course focused principally on the response to the Panama Papers, there is an important connection between our continuing work on tax transparency and tax havens that we are building into the proposal," he added.

He's talking bollocks of course, a quick look at the details of what is the statement will contain reveals it has little to do with Panama but is mostly concerned with Jermeny Corbyn's hobby horse of choice, greedy multinational corporations who dodge paying their tax on profits in the various countries where they make their money, by using accounting structures that are perfectly legal whether we like it or not.

Those who draft laws containing loopholes so big even the Titanic could get through them unscathed should not castigate individuals and corporations that exploit the loopholes, instead the incompetent (or perhaps well greased, financially) buggers should do their jobs properly.

But we find it strange that the Soros-funded Panama Papers leak has scarcely mentioned a single EU apparatchik or American Republican or Democrat figure, focusing instead on non EU member state Iceland, and indeed Russian President Vladimir Putin? Coincidence, or are Eurocrats and US political hacks all magically above board with their tax affairs? Having read up on the lengths to which Hillary Clinton has gone to avoid revealing how much she was paid for a series of speeches to Wall Street Bankers, and knowing something of Donald Trump's track record in business, we think not.

Even the US business magaxine Forbes questions this ommission. Could there be some collateral damage in the papers in the conveniently partial leak of these documents?

It is very significant that rather than doing a Wikileaks style data dump, the lefty leakers, Goerge Soros front organisations the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists has chosen to decide for us what it is in our interests to know about.

Where’s the transparency from the partner organisations of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists – the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), the Guardian, and Sueddeutsche Zeitung? (Anyone notice what these three have in common? Hint: They’re not exactly right wing, anti-EU outlets). Indeed Sueddeutsche Zeitung has already said it won’t publish all the files, arguing that not all are of public interest.

David Cameron has staked so much on keeping Britain in the EU that not only does his career rest on the success of the Remain campaign but if Bratain votes Leave his hopes of a well paid sinecure with one of the supra national bureaucracies. At the moment, thanks to the Labour party's obsession with the fact that Cameron's Dear Old Mum used a ploy that is older than David Cameron or even me to (legally) avoid paying death taxes on her estate, he is looking shifty and mendacious. (He is shifty and mendacious but we could have trapped him on a bigger issue than this, surely).

EU leaders are now busily trying to look as if they preside over a strong regulatory authority respondin to an issue of great public concern, in accordance with the views of the British prime minister. Funny that they have suddenly got all hyper over Pamama's tax haven status when they have tolerated Luxembourg, a far bigger tax haven than Pamama and a founder member of the EU for many decades. And let's not forget the special arrangements London offers foreigners who are shy about revealing their full income to tax collectors in their home nations. What are Dodgy Dave, his mate George Soros and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists about exposing the tax dodging that goes on in those financial centres?

Former Head Of UK Equalities Commission Admits He Was Wrong To Believe Muslims Would Blend Into Britain…

Trevor Phillips: the sign behind him reads "Working for equality and integration", a cause to wich he devoted a large part of his career but which he has now been forced to abandon because of Muslim racism and intransigence

Trevor Phillips, the son of migrants from British Guyana who became head of Britain’s Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), has conceded he "got almost everything wrong" on Muslim immigration in a new report on integration, segregation that blows the concept of multiculturalism to bits. Phillips also admits the report, the findings of which we will present in a Channel 4 documentary on 13 March, 2016, will confirm the claims of people often described as 'right wing extremists' that the followers of Islam are creating "nations within nations" in the West.

A former elected member of the Labour Party National Executive who served as the Chairman of the EHRC from 2003-2012, Mr Phillips will present “What British Muslims Really Think” as a wake up call to politicians who have fallen under the influence of politically correct thinking promoted by Fabian socialist academic idealists whose cocooned existence in University faculties has led to their almost total detachment from the realities of daily life in Britain.

An ICM poll released to The Times newspaper in advance of Phillips documentary reveals:

One in five Muslims in Britain never enter a non-Muslim house;
39 per cent of Muslims, male and female, say a woman should always obey her husband;
31 per cent of British Muslims support the right of a man to have more than one wife;
52 per cent of Muslims did not believe that homosexuality should be legal;
23 per cent of Muslims support the introduction of Sharia law rather than the laws laid down by parliament.

Writing for the Times on the issue, Phillips states: "Liberal opinion in Britain has, for more than two decades, maintained that most Muslims are just like everyone else. Britain desperately wants to think of its Muslims as versions of the Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain, or the cheeky-chappie athlete Mo Farah. But thanks to the most detailed and comprehensive survey of British Muslim opinion yet conducted, we now know that just isn’t how it is."

Can't fault the lad on that opinion, but it has taken him and his fellow travellers around three decades to wake up to the fact that mass immigration to Britain from backward areas of the Islamic world was causing massive problems in the de-industrialised cities and towns where large immigrant communities have accumulated.

Phillips commissioned The Runnymede report into Britain and Islamophobia in 1997 which, according to both Phillips himself and academics across the country, popularised the word which cultural Marxists have now made synonymous with any criticism – legitimate or not – of Islam or Muslims.

Phillips has previously expressed controversial views when he suggested that multiculturaism had failed.

The screenshot below is from an article written by Trevor Phillips, former head of the Equalities and Human Rights commission for The Daily Mail (or Mail On Sunday)

Trevor Philips home truths on racism. Image source
Finally, we?re having that open and honest debate about immigration and race everyone has been calling for, Phillips says. Sort Of. The political left have no intention of joining debate and are resorting to their usual tactics of name calling and smearing their opponents.
Dan Hodges, a token Cultural Marxist writing in The Daily Telegraph responded:
"The taboo has been broken ? somewhat ironically ? by the former head of the Commission for Racial Equality writing in the Daily Mail. Trevor Phillips, long a hate figure for the anti-multicultural right, has this morning become their darling. ?At last! A man who dares to tell the truth about race: Ex-race tsar says silencing of debate has done devastating harm to Britain," exclaims the Mail?s headline, above a list of "10 True Things You Can?t Say?.

Soros Sponsored "Democracy Spring" Launches Program Of Civil Disobedience

Target Liberty published a copy of a leaked email allegedly issued out by the Gorge Soros from "Democracy Spring", a group that aims to pervert the democratic process in the US Presidential election. Democracy Spring leaders hope to inspire protests and civil disobedience that will disrupt political activity.

Groups pledging support to Democracy Spring include: Democratic Socialists of America, Young Democratic Socialists, United Students Against Sweatshops, United Native Americans, Progressive Democrats of America, March Against Monsanto, 100 Grannies for a Livable Future, African American Ministers in Action.

We republish the email in the public interest under Fair Use terms:

Democracy Spring is upon us.

Starting tomorrow April 11th, we will be sitting in day after day at the US Capitol to demand Congress take immediate action to end the corruption of big money in politics and ensure free and fair elections for all.

You must attend the mandatory civil disobedience training the night before or the morning of the day you plan to join the sit-ins. In each training we will go over the action plan and discuss any legal questions related to risking arrest with the attorney. Check out the schedule below for locations. If you cannot risk arrest, you can still come and rally with us at Columbus Circle at 11:30AM to march the final mile and a half to the Capitol and stand in solidarity.
Here is what you need to bring to the action:

$100 cash so that you are prepared to post & forfeit (an option that will likely be offered by the police as a way to avoid returning for any future court dates.)
A state-issued form of identification.
Any medication or medical devices needed for the next 12 hours.
Waterproof layers of clothes.
Extra money in cash you might need for public transportation to get back home or to one of the mass housing sites (a pre-loaded DC Metro card also works).
Mobile devices to spread the word of our people's action.

Here is schedule and locations of the civil disobedience trainings:

Trainings for Sit-in on Monday April 11th:
Sunday Night 6:30-9:30 PM — Impact Hub DC, 419 7th St NW, Washington, DC 20004, 3rd Floor

Saturday Morning 9-11 AM — Sanctuary, Lutheran Church of the Reformation, 212 East Capitol St NE, Washington, DC 20003

Change only comes when people choose to act. Now is the time. With bold and dramatic sit-ins at US Capitol we can send a signal that Congress can not ignore, while inspiring others to join the movement for a real democracy.

Many people, just hearing the word now, are figuring out how to get themselves to Washington DC for one or two days of the sit-ins. If you haven’t told your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers about Democracy Spring yet, please do so. To build momentum through the week, we are counting on waves of additional people joining us. Invite someone to join you. Tell them about the legal support and mass housing provided for anyone risking arrest. Help them buy a bus ticket.
Anyone you convince to join us will appreciate it after the fact, when -- together -- we have changed the course of history.

See you soon,

The Democracy Spring Team
http://www.democracyspring.org/

So there you have it, the 'radical left' are sponsored by one of the nastiest, greediest corporate capitalists ever, a shameless advocate of global totalitarian government proposed by theelistist socialist group The Fabian society over a hundred years ago and towards which these supporters of 'oligarchical collectivism'# have been working ever since.

Did you notice how without any trace of irony these people pledge to end 'the corruption of big money' when they are working for a billionaire who has blatantly used money to pervert democracy and destroy the economies of small countries that stood in the way of his and the global bankers' geopolitical ambitions?

Britain's Choice: Democracy Or Eurocracy

Democracy in the European Union: The people = one vote, the bureaucracy = millions of votes - because, and I quote, "The people are not intelligent enough to understand complex issues".

As we have commented before, it is not just a large section of British public opinion that want's to get our country out of Europe. Last week voters in The Netherlands voted by a big majority against the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, which would be a step towards fast - tracking the accession of war torn, economic basket case Ukraine to full membership of the EU, and is being pushed by Brussels.

There is little chance the Dutch vote will be acted on, the European Union's ruling bureaucracy has previously shown its contempt for the democratic process and public opinion, notably in the rejection of an Irish referendum a few years ago that rejected The Lisbon Treaty, an agreement which transferred sovereign rights from elected parliaments to unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, and in the way democratically elected Greek and Italian governments were replaced by EU appointees after refusing to adopt punitive austerity measure imposed by the EU, after the economic crisis engineered by the EU Commission and the global bankers brought about the near collapse of those nations.

It may not be generally known among voters of the twenty eight member states but The EU is embarked on an irrevocable expansionist agenda that would see the ruling bureaucracy spread its tentacles into Africa and the middle east. Foremost among the expansion targets are the terrorist state Turkey and another economic basket case, Georgia

But at least voters in The Netherlands had the opportunity to make their feelings known. Unfortunately, Latvians do not have the kinds of opportunities the Dutch do, suggests Juris Paiders, the head of the Latvian Journalists' Union.

Commenting on the Dutch vote in an op-ed for Latvia's nra.lv news hub, Paiders wrote that when it comes to democracy, the Latvian people don't have the same opportunities the Dutch.

"If such a non-binding referendum was held in Latvia, I am absolutely confident that the majority of the government's ruling coalition would simply spit on its results." This view is based on precedent according to Paiders. "This already happened [in 2003] when 80% of Latvians rejected our country's participation in the Iraq War, while the Latvian elite was at the forefront of the warmongers. Ultimately, Latvia was drawn into the war, the justification for which was falsified, and as a result, the region's security suffered."

Fortunately, Paiders continued, "the Netherlands is not Latvia. In Latvia the political elite, step by step, is liquidating democratic values. In Latvia, referendums and other forms of direct democracy are being replaced with a system of totalitarian punishments and prohibitions. Conversely, the Netherlands' largest parties have promised to take the will of the people into account."

"The Dutch referendum explains well why the ruling coalition in Latvia is so afraid of democracy. When referendums are factually banned, the political elite can do whatever it wants with the country. It can reduce spending on health and education, and allocate more funding for politically corrupt procurement schemes. It can [also] agree to speed up the EU's federalization, and remove all national boundaries, in spite of the attitudes of the majority of the people."

That's his opinion of the state of democracy in Latvia and it is not very encouraging. Many readers may jump to the conclusion that the former Soviet republic has not really wrapped its head round the basic concepts of democracy yet. But that would not be fair, because what is described as applying in Latvia is typical of the way the increasingly authoritarian bureaucracy in Brussels envisages the future of European member states' democratic governments, as mere rubber stamp wielders for decisions made in camera by the faceless people in the 'shadow government.

Black Belgians Refute ‘Poverty, Discrimination’ As Causes Of Arab Terror - It's A Cultural Thing

Proud to be black, and proud to be Belgian

African residents of Brussels have refuted claims made by 'white-hating', 'left wing' cultural Marxists who support the destruction of European culture through mass Muslim immigration, that local Muslims are drawn into terrorism because of “poverty” and “discrimination”. Belgium's non Muslim black minorities blame cultural values for the prevelance of religious extremist and sex crime among Muslims.

“You know, we hear a lot about how the Arabs are a fragile community that suffers, but we, ‘les blackies,’ are discriminated against, too, and we hurt nobody”, Nico Atoba, an African Christian living in Brussels told the National Post a Canadian newspaper.

As Mr. Atoba points out, any alleged “discrimination” faced by Arabs is surely faced by black Africans too. Furthermore, Matonge, the Congolese quarter of Brussels from which he was speaking, is easily as run down as the Muslim areas.

Muslim dominated Molenbeek, however, has become know as the ‘European capital of Jihad’, and has produced numerous Islamic terrorists who went on to commit the Paris and Brussels attacks.

According to many left wing academics and publications “poverty” and “discrimination” are a major factor driving such men towards hate and violence. Left wing academics are, however, largely responsible for the political brainwashing of schol pupils and university students that has led to the idiotic situation where we have young people in the 16 - 25 age group becoming racist, but against their own race, and thus prepared to take sides with dark skinned interlopers whose sectarianism (not just against Christian Europeans and sub - saharan Africans, but Hindu's and orientals) is documented down fifteen hundred years of history.

The pursuit of 'open doors' mass immigration policies by national governments and the EU bureaucratic dictatorship, backed by the brainwashed generation, added to social leaders being in total denial about the fact that mixing people of incompatible cultures is bound to lead to race related tensions, has led to the growth of many Muslim majority ghettos across Europe, most notably in Germany, Sweden and France.

“Molenbeek, Belgium's most notorious Muslim ghetto, has been in trouble for years. Poverty levels are high, and street and drug crime are common… These problems go hand-in-hand with a bleak outlook for residents”, The Atlantic reported last November, continuing: “As of January this year, 350 Belgian residents are known to have joined ISIS in Syria—a minuscule fraction of the country’s Muslims, but nonetheless more per capita than any other state in Europe. This trend can in part be explained (albeit, of course, not justified) by conditions in places like Molenbeek”, the aryicle claimed.

So why is it that non-Muslim, but equally discriminated and disadvantaged, Africans are not seeking to kill and attack Westerners?

“There are a lot of victims in Belgium but you can’t always be playing with victimization and use it as an excuse to justify going out and harming others”, a female African migrant in Brussels, who did not wish to be named (for reasons that should be obvious even to brainwashed cultural Marxists) told news reporters.

After The Brexit The Frexit;1 in 3 French Voters Want Out Of The EU

Earlier this week in a plebiscite, voters in The Netherlands resoundingly rejected a proposal for the European Union to establish closer economic and social links with war torn economic basket case Ukraine.

A new poll conducted by French online magazine Causeur has found that Euroskepticism in France is growing, and that one in three French look forward to France's exit from the European Union; moreover, 53 percent of respondents said that they were opposed to France's continued membership in the Schengen area.

The poll, conducted for Causeur by the French Institute of Public Opinion, a French polling and market research poll, indicated that while "the French are not (yet?) willing to leave the EU," they do want France out of Europe's common border-control free zone, known as Schengen.

The three question poll, with a sample size of 2003 men and women aged 18 or older, was conducted between March 11-15. 34% of those polled said that they were opposed to France's continued membership in the EU, with 66% saying they were in favor of the country remaining in the supranational union.

TRANSLATION: "On June 23, the citizens of the UK will decide through a referendum if they want their country to remain in the EU or leave. If a referendum on membership was held in our country, would you vote for or against France remaining in the EU?" Blue: Against France remaining in the EU; Orange: For France remaining in the EU

At the same time, when asked hypothetically about whether the EU "will exist in twenty years," 36% said that they believed that it 'definitely' or 'probably' wouldn't, while 64% said that it 'definitely' or 'probably' would. Interestingly, only 20% of respondents were 'definitely' convinced that the EU would continue to exist.

Sesame Street New Hijab-Clad Muppet: ‘Zari’ Is A Feminist From Afghanistan

The new, hijab wearing puppet for Sesame Street's Afghanistan edition, Zari, is going to be hugely popular with the Taliban

OK, who didn't spot the politically correct stupidity in that title. Feminist from Afghanistan is of course a non sequitur, there are no feminists in Afghanistan or in Islam, although there might be female corpses that once (briefly) were feminists. Any woman in Afghanistan planning to 'come out' as a feminist would be a muppet of course, as well as a very bad risk for life insurance companies.

Sesame Street unveiled a fresh face Thursday: a hijab-wearing Afghani Muppet named Zari who will teach kids about “girl empowerment, social and emotional wellbeing.”

Zari will first appear in season five of Baghch-e-Simsim, which is the Afghan version of Sesame Street.

The popular children show’s Twitter account was abuzz with Zari content Thursday.

Zari will focus on teaching “girls’ empowerment, national identity, physical health and social and emotional wellbeing,” a Sesame Street press release said.

So those stupid muppets at Sesame Street are going to show pre school children images of a cuddly toy being stoned to death for being immodest? Or are they just going to do what they always do and lie for the sake of furthering their agenda?

The arrogance and stupidity of American liberals is even more infinite that infinity.
