Russia Revealed Evidence Of ISIS-Turkey Oil Trade

The situation in the middle east continues to deteriorate, with at least some western leaders having woken up to the fact that NATO member and European Union applicant Turkey has been playing a double game, sucking up to western leaders and particularly Barack Obama, the former Chicago Bath House Blo Ho who now sells his office as cheaply as he formerly sold his orifice, while at the same time, illegally and in violation of every international treaty and United Nations resolution prohibiting nations financially supporting, trading with or giving aid to terrorists, has been buying oil from ISIS, thus funding their operation.

Turkey is also alleged to have been acting as a conduit for the supply of arms and ammunition from the USA to ISIS, but that's another story.

Turkey’s
SultanPresident Recep Tayyip Erdogan said something funny this week. It wasn't very funny, but hey, a tyrant with anything resembling a sense o humour is to be treasured. In response Russia's claim, made by foreign affairs chief, Sergei Lavrov,that Russia has indisputable proof of the direct involvement of Turkey, and specifically President Edrogan's family, in Islamic State’s illicit crude trade, Erdogan said he would resign if anyone could prove the accusations.

Now obviously, conclusive evidence, the smoking gun, that Ankara is knowingly laundering ISIS crude into western spot markets will probably quite elusive, at least in the short-term, but the comical aspect of Erdogan’s pronouncement is that it was made by a man willing to trigger a civil war over a few lost seats in the national assembly that would have enabled his opponents to force his resignation. The idea of him ever willingly stepping down is farcical.

More important that rigiculing a tyrant (although that is alway an important task) is that the world will learn the truth of who has been financing ISIS and facilitating "Raqqa’s Rockefellers." If a NATO member is supporting this, and if the US has turned a blind eye to the vast convoys of tanker truck rolling across Syria from ISIS oil wells to Turkey's oil terminals on the Mediterranean for 14 months as part of an understanding with Erdogan, well then we have a problem. And while not conclusive the evidence strongly suggests we have a big problem.

First, here’s the bullet point summary via Reuters:

RUSSIA'S DEFENCE MINISTRY SAYS RUSSIA'S AIR STRIKES IN SYRIA HELPED TO ALMOST HALVE ILLEGAL OIL TURNOVER
RUSSIA'S DEFENCE MINISTRY SAYS TURKISH PRESIDENT AND FAMILY INVOLVED IN BUSINESS WITH ISLAMIC STATE OIL
RUSSIAN DEFENCE MINISTRY SAYS WILL CONTINUE STRIKES IN SYRIA ON ISLAMIC STATE OIL INFRASTRUCTURE
RUSSIA'S DEFENCE MINISTRY SAYS KNOWS OF THREE ROUTES BY WHICH ISLAMIC STATE OIL IS DIRECTED TO TURKEY
RUSSIAN DEFENCE MINISTRY SAYS TO PRESENT NEXT WEEK INFORMATION SHOWING TURKEY HELPING ISLAMIC STATE

Unfortunately for Edrogan et fils, The Kremlin has lined up its big guns and is on a mission to blow tear the NATO / US / EU hypocrisy on Syria apart. The USA was never really interested in defeating ISIS, an organisation formed, if convincing but not quite conclusive evidence is accepted,) by the USA with the aim of completing a plan made by the bush Administration to overthow the Assad regime, the last obstacle to a direct pipeline from the Persian Gulf oil and gas fields to the Mediterranean and into Europe. Washington and their allies would have got away with it too, had those pesky Russians not interfered, but then the plan was about undermining Russia's oil and gas trade with Europe. Din anyone expect them to sit back and say, "Fair ply to you, you beat us this time."

Now that Edrogan's Turkey has decided it can shoot down Russian fighter planes that do not violate Turkish airspace but Russia cannot shoot down Turkish planes that DO violate Syrian airspace, it's game on. The latest from Russia, where the Defense Ministry has just issued a briefing on the Islamic State oil trade (shown here with English voice over). To put it bluntly, Turkey is in trouble.


A transcript of the full statement from Deputy Minister of Defence Anatoly Antonov is below. Let us be the first to tell you, Antonov did not hold back.

At a briefing for the media, "the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the fight against international terrorism. The new data" Anatoly Anatov delivered this address:

"International terrorism - is the main threat of our time. This threat is not illusory but real, and many countries, primarily Russia, knows this firsthand. The notorious "Is Islamic state" - the absolute leader of the terrorist international. This is a rearing monster of international terrorism can be countered. And you can win. Over the past two months, Aerospace Russian forces is clearly demonstrated.

We are firmly convinced that victory over LIH need to deliver a powerful and devastating blow to the sources of its funding, as repeatedly mentioned by President Vladimir Putin. Terrorism has no money - is a beast without teeth. Oil revenues are a major source of terrorist activity in Syria. They earn about $ 2 billion. Dollars annually, spending this money on hiring fighters around the world, providing them with weapons, equipment and weapons. That's why so LIH protects thieves oil infrastructure in Syria and Iraq.

The main consumer of stolen from legitimate owners - Syria and Iraq - the oil is Turkey. According to the data entered in this criminal business involved the highest political leadership of the country - President Erdogan and his family.

We have repeatedly talked about the dangers of flirting with terrorists. It's like that stokes. The fire from one country can spill over to others. This situation we are seeing in the Middle East. Today, we present only part of the facts, confirming that the region has a team of bandits and Turkish elites stealing oil from the neighbors.

This oil in large numbers on an industrial scale, for the living pipelines from thousands of oil tankers entering the territory of Turkey. We are absolutely convinced today present you the hard facts about what the final destination of the stolen oil - Turkey. There is a large number of media representatives, and Our briefing will see more of your colleagues. In this regard, I would like to say the following. We know and appreciate the work of journalists. We know that in the journalistic community, many courageous, fearless people honestly do its job.Today, we have clearly shown you how the illegal trade in oil, the result of which - the financing of terrorism. Provided concrete evidence that, in our opinion, may be the subject of investigative journalism.

We are confident that the truth with your help will, will find its way. We know the price to Erdogan. He has already been caught in a lie again Turkish journalists who opened Turkey delivery of arms and ammunition to militants under the guise of humanitarian convoys. For this imprisoned journalists.

Do not resign Turkish leaders, particularly Mr. Erdogan, and did not recognize, even if their faces will be smeared by oil thieves. I might be too harsh, but at the hands of the Turkish military killed our comrades. The cynicism of the Turkish leadership is unlimited. Look what they're doing ?! Climbed to a foreign country, it shamelessly robbed. And if the owners interfere, then they have to be addressed.

I stress that Erdogan's resignation is not our goal. It is - it is the people of Turkey. Our goal and the goal to which we urge you, ladies and gentlemen, - joint action to block the sources of funding for terrorism. We will continue to provide evidence of robbery by Turkey of its neighbors. Maybe I'll be too straightforward, but the control of these thieves in business can be entrusted only to the most close people.

No one in the West, I wonder, does not cause the issue that the son of the President of Turkey is the leader of one of the largest energy companies, and son-in-appointed Minister of Energy? What a brilliant family business!

This, in general, may elsewhere? Well, once again, of course, such cases can not be charging anyone, only the closest people. Votes this fact in the Western media we do not see much, but it sure can not hide the truth. Yes, of course, dirty petrodollars will work. I am sure that there are now discussions about the fact that everything you see here, - falsification. Well. If it did not - let be allowed in those places that we showed journalists.

It is obvious that today the publicity was devoted only part of the information about the monstrous crimes of the Turkish elites who directly finance international terrorism. We believe that any sane journalist should fight this plague of the XXI century. The world experience has repeatedly argued that the objective journalism is able to be an effective and formidable tool in the fight against various financial corruption schemes. We invite colleagues to investigative journalism on the disclosure of financial schemes and supplies oil from the terrorists to the consumers. Especially since the oil produced in the controlled militants territories in transit through Turkish ports shipped to other regions. For its part, the Ministry of Defense of Russia will continue to disclose new evidence on the supply of terrorists oil to foreign countries and to talk about the conduct of aerospace forces of Russia operations in Syria.Let's unite our efforts. We will destroy the sources of financing of terrorism in Syria, as you get involved in the kind of work abroad."

USA Has Told Assad He Needs To Commene Handover Of Power In Syria by August Or Face Consequences

Turkey Blames Kurds, Assad For Terrorist Attack, Vows Swift Response
Yesterday came the first terrorist attack on Turkish soil. As this blog predicted President Erdogan of Turkey is blaming the Kurds and President Assad of Syria for yesterday's bomb blast in the Turkish capital which killed and injured many people.It was predictable would the attack would be blamed on Assad and the Kurds, thus giving the nutter Erdogan an excuse to intensify his actions against Assad and the Kurds.

Assad Accuses Erdogan Of Putting Combat Troops In Syria



As we suspected, the US / Russian / EU brokered ceasefire in Syria is not going to stop Turkey's Recep Erdogan (wannabe Sultan of a new Ottoman Empire?) from pursuing his territorial ambitions in Syria. So long as Erdogan has Nanny NATO's apron to hide behind he will keep provoking Russia.?

USA, EU and Turkey are not going to like this Greece /Russia deal
“We indeed need access to the Mediterranean Sea bypassing Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, [the narrow straits that separate mainland Turkey from the Turkish enclave in Europe in which Istanbul is situated.] There is another alternative – a channel through Iran. This project, first conceived approximately a century ago, is now also on the agenda,”

More Middle east Madness: Western Powers Prepare To Escalate Military Operations In Syria

by Ed Butt



London next to face terrorist attack? (Image source)

As the UK Parliament debates the case for joining the combined effort to bomb ISIS aka Islamic State, aka Daesh into oblivion in Syria (and what a farcical craptangle that debate is turning into), we learn that yesterday (Dec 1) US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said the US Government was preparing to expand the role of special operations troops fighting Islamic State jihadists in Syria.

"American special operators bring a unique suite of capabilities that make them force multipliers," Carter told the House Armed Services Committee. "Where we find further opportunity to leverage such capability, we are prepared to expand it."

The United States has already announced it is sending about 50 special operations troops into Syria.
In an interview shown on UK Television yesterday, Syria's leader Bashar Al Assad said the efforts of the US lead coalition against ISIS had been totally ineffectual over eighteen months and only intervention by Russia had stopped the advance of the Islamic State guerillas.

So as for US forces being 'a multiplier, if you multiply anything by zero the product is zero.

The conflict in Syria, which started in 2011, as a knock on effect of 'The Arab Spring', the upsurge of Islamic fanaticism that grew in the wake of an idiotic speech made in Cairo by Barack Hussein Obama in which he somehow managed to give the impression that his administration would support every gang of insaniacs, nuttters, malcontents and opportunists that took up arms against tyrannical legitimate governments.

As things turned out, Obama's support was only forthcoming in support of those fighting against tyrants Washington did not like or who had obstructed US moves to further it's geoplitical ambitions.

And so we lurch towards global war, the west's leaders having proved they are just as insane as the tyrants their doomed middle east wars have ben waged against (some might say the Libya conflict succeeded in overthrowing Gadaffi, but killing a man who for all his faults kept a brutal kind of order, to leave a chaotic failed state with three governments fighting over their claims for legitimacy is hardly success.

The joint presser hosted by France's President Hollande and Barack Obama at the White House (Nov. 24), apart from an Vaudeville worthy melodramatic denunciation of ISIS, was notable only the French president’s sudden obsession with overthrowing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. This was made even more bizarre because immediately after the Paris terrorist atrocity the french President concluded a Washinton off-pissing cooperation deal with Russia's Vladimir Putin who, while ruthlessly attacking IS is adamant that Russia's ally Assad must stay in power.

We should be quite clear, all the bluster from Western leaders about a Syrian political “transition” to a pluralist democracy or demands that Assad must go, indicate that far from uniting with Russia and Iran against Sunni fanaticism in Iraq, Syria and Kurdistan, the west's priority is Washington's priority: to depose Assad thus clearing the way for an overland pipeline from The Gulf to oil terminals in that panhandle of Turkish territory that dangles down the eastern coast of the Mediterranean sea.

Hollande in Washington entered the same cloud cuckoo land inhabited by Bush and Blair when the US/UK alliance the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington (and as we now know, 'sexed up' dossiers on saddam Hussein's military capabilities to justify invading Iraq, claiming the only way to defeat the religious fanatics of Al Qaeda was to invade the secular state of Iraq. In the same way, deposing the secular regime of Assad, the main military opponent facing ISIS, would be as monumentally idiotic as pretending that bombing Saddam's crazy but secular regime in Iraq would neutralise the religious fantatics of Al Qaeda.

That a political solution in syria can only be achieved following the overthrow of Assad is the official policy of the United States, France, the UK, the European Union's unelected bureaucrats, NATO and the other Western powers. Having hyped the threat of jihadist terrorism (a which itself resulted from the West’s earlier military interventions), the great and good of western politics and NATO governments now plan to resurgent Islamic fanaticism by overthrowing one of the last three secular regimes in the Middle East (the others, Jordan and Kuwait, being hardly relevant), where Christians and other religious minorities have been protected. Overthowing Assad we must remember, would leave Syria's Shia Muslims and Syriac Christians to the tender mercies of the Allah loving head amputators.

Bashar al-Assad is likely a gangster, (as our recent reports here have shown Turkey's Recep Edrogan, feted by the west, to be). But when has that ever been a characteristic disqualifying one to be a partner of the United States government? Sisi of Egypt, Erdogan (sic), and the bloodstained tyrants who run Saudi Arabia , Qatar and Nazarbayev of Khazakstan are all members in good standing of the Washington Global Government Consensus. If Assad has signed his death warrant, it is because of his failure to join that consensus, rather than because of the way he runs Syria. After all, he isn't as bad as other US suppored tyrants such as President Nazarbayev of Khazakstan, or Avazov of Uzbekistan who is in good stead with Washington despite being said to have his opponents boiled alive for the entertainment of his supporters and a warning to those thinking og speaking against him. Obviously it is not a country's actual human rights record that incurs the wrath of western leaders, but refusal to bow to Washington / UN dictum.

False Economy



December, and as we brace ourselves for another slew of depressing economic figures it is understandable that consumers aren't spending.

Economists and business people describe national economies as being in one of two states, growth or recession (they never mention the S word of course - stagnation). What state the economy is decided by taking the sum total of certain types of transactions (selected by statisticians) and then deflating this total by a rate of inflation also devised by statisticians and not representative of the essential spending of ordinary people, but of the political interests of whoever is paying the statisticians. A nominal figure for gross domestic product is thus created, adjusted to take account of inconvenient factors like reality, and termed real GDP.

The fist thing to understand about GDP is that it does not measure the health of an economy but only the rate of churn of money within that economy. For example if a government allows one million migrants into the country and pays them £300 a week each, and these immigrants spend their benefits on food, housing, clothes, transport, a little entertainment and a few other things, GDP is increased by £300 million a week, and hey! The case for immigration benefitting the economy is made.

Another GDP scam understate the rate of price inflation, thus showing growth in GDP where in real terms there has been contraction. If GDP grows year on year by less than the rate of price inflation, in real terms the economy has contracted. More paper money has been spent but less goods and services have been paid for. From the inflation scam it only takes a small leap of flawed logic to associate rising prices with an increase in economic activity (i.e. to show more money has moved when we should be looking at the fact that less trade has been done. It also follows, based on the fallacious assumptions of GDP economics, that falling prices are to be avoided at all costs.

Assumptions and statistics. All statistics are based on assumptions and they lead to ridiculous conclusions. As Socrates said 2500 years ago, if we keep questioning in the end we come to the assumption or fallacy all established truths are founded on

The received wisdom that falling prices are bad for business is being questioned by some economists who have at last woken up to the fact that a double triple quadruple dip recession is in fact a depression. The improvement in everyone's standard of living through falling prices for communications, access to data, and the technology in our homes and everyday life could not possibly have happened, the glass is half full merchants chirrup. Here the fallacy stands out like a sore thumb, obviously if only half the glass is full, the other half is empty. For those in work whose earnings have kept pace with or moved ahead of inflation falling prices have been good, they can afford to fill the empty half of their glass. But what of those whose incomes have dropped. Or those formerly affluent people whose jobs have been offshored or taken over by robots. Falling prices, or rather the conditions that have caused prices to fall have not improved their lot.

It does not end there of course, as deflation bites because profits are being squeezed and tax revenues are falling, employment falls further, people in work cut back more, not knowing when they will be hit and unemployment rises. Then taxes must rise more to cover the increased welfare bill and people in work have less spare cash to spend. And so it goes on with that glass looking more empty than full all the time.

And spare a thought for the prostitutes in Greece who due to a glut on the supply side as women are forced to sell themselves to feed their families, and falling demand, are only able to charge €5 for half an hour.

If rising prices are good for the economy, as one school of economics tells us, how come everyone was so unhappy in Germany's Weimar Republic in 1923, or in Zimbabwe fifteen years ago? Surely, as inflation accelerates the happiness level should rise. Conversely as prices fall and consumer goods become cheaper, people's living standards improve and they should become happier. So how come wherever I look, it's only children and retired people with good pensions like myself who are happy.

Migrants Attack Locals In German Restaurant


by Arthur Foxake, 1 December, 2015


German firefighters clean up the mess after migrant Muslim morons torch the accomodation allocated to them (Image source)


Migrants and locals got into a fight in a restaurant in Bavaria on Sunday, resulting in a 50-year-old German man receiving serious head injuries.

A brawl developed between migrants and Germans developed in the Bravarian town of Velden , after an argument between a small group of migrants and local residents eating at a restaurant started in the early hours of Sunday morning, according Bravian regional newspaperSüddeutsche Zeitung.

Things appeared to have calmed down when the migrants left, but they returned with reinforcements and laid into the diners.

Around 15 people believed to be lodging in a local asylum centre had joined them, with witnesses reporting fist fights and glass bottles being thrown. One witness said the area outside the restaurant resembled a battlefield, covered in blood.

Six people were injured in the fight, with one 50-year-old German man needing hospital treatment for serious head injuries.

Police arrested a 25-year-old Syrian migrant, but later released him. The investigation continues.

The reason for the brawl is not reported, we wonder if the migrants might have objected to German diners eating pork sausage.

Elsewhere, in Hattersheim around 30 residents of another asylum centre were involved in a fight which left four people injured. Op-online.de reports. There police arrested two migrants aged 17 and 23, while four residents were moved to alternative accommodation for their own safety.

The violence follows a weekend of unrest in asylum centres across the Germany, with migrants expressing their anger that they are not being paid enough for being in Germany, their accommodation is not luxurious enough and the televisions in their rooms are not big enough.

In one asylum centre, the former Tempelhof air terminal in Berlin, police had to break up a fight between migrants queued over food. Again we are left to wonder if pork was involved.

Another fight in the Berlin suburb of Spandau (where the famous ballet is set?), migrants attacked one another with fire extinguishers. Windows were smashed and sofas thrown into the street, leaving several migrants wounded. Some 500 people had be to be evacuated from the migrant centre in fear and panic.

All in all, one has the impression that the paleolithic savages let into Europe without restriction by out politically correct leaders, who swore our culture would be enriched by these arseholes new arrivals, are simply not capable of living peacefully with each other, let alone alongside civilized people.

NATO’s humanitarian Convoys Delivering Arms And Ammo To ISIS Halted at Syrian Border

We have reported that Turkey, a member of NATO and an Asian nation of 90 million people predominantly of the Islamic faith that is currently having its application for membership of the European Union fast tracked as a thank you for its support of NATO efforts to contain ISIS, has actually been funding Islamic State by facilitating the illegal sale of oil that rightfully belongs to the Iraquis and Kurds to western nations, and also that Turkey has been instrumental in keeping open the supply line to ISIS and Al Nusra (aka Al Qaeda) so that arms and ammunition from rogue states like Saudi Arabia and the USA can reach the terrorists trying to overthrow the legitimate government in Syria.

It is not just this blog, almost every alternative media site is onto the story, so why is there no mention of it in TV news bulletins or the newspapers.

Here's another development as reported by Activist Post:

By Tony Cartalucci


NATO convoy of arms and ammo bombed by Russian aircraft at Azaz, norther Syria, en route for  ISIS bases (Image source)

For years, NATO has granted impunity to convoys packed with supplies bound for ISIS and Al Qaeda. Russian airstrikes have stopped them dead in their tracks. If a legitimate, well-documented aid convoy carrying humanitarian supplies bound for civilians inside Syria was truly destroyed by Russian airstrikes, it is likely the world would never have heard the end of it.

Instead, much of the world has heard little at all about a supposed “aid” convoy destroyed near Azaz, Syria, at the very edge of the Afrin-Jarabulus corridor through which the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) and Al Qaeda’s remaining supply lines pass, and in which NATO has long-sought to create a “buffer zone” more accurately described as a Syrian-based, NATO-occupied springboard from which to launch terrorism deeper into Syrian territory.

The Turkish-based newspaper Daily Sabah reported in its article, “Russian airstrikes target aid convoy in northwestern Syrian town of Azaz, 7 killed,”

New World Order Stopped? Russia Bans Soros Foundation "A Threat To National Security And Constitutional Order"



In a statement released on Monday, The Russian Prosecutor General's Office announced the activities of the Open Society Institute and the Open Society Institute Assistance Foundation, both fronts for the gloabalisation and global government promoting Open Society, a political activist group founded and backed by billionaire George Soros, were a threat to the foundations of Russia’s Constitutional order and national security. A statement announced that the Justice Ministry would be informed of the conclusions and would add the two groups to Russia’s list of undesirable foreign organizations.

The move comes after Russia's official retaliation to the Turkish downing of its jet a week ago, in which Putin issued an executive order limiting employment for Turkish workers, restricting Turkish organizations, and reducing the amount of bilateral trade with Ankara,

Are the gloves finally coming off in the fight against those shadowy figures who are trying to destabilize the world's richest nation?

According to Russia Today, prosecutors launched a probe into the activities of the two organizations - both sponsored by the Hungarian born US financier in July this year, after Russian senators approved the so-called “patriotic stop-list” of 12 groups that required immediate attention over their supposed anti-Russian activities. Other groups on the list included the National Endowment for Democracy; the International Republican Institute; the National Democratic Institute; the MacArthur Foundation and Freedom House.

Open Society is not the first organisation to be kicked out of Russia as the return to cold war conditions accelerates: in July the Russian Justice Ministry named the US National Endowment for Democracy as an undesirable group after prosecutors discovered the US NGO had spent millions on attempts to question the legitimacy of Russian elections and tarnish the prestige of national military service.

The Law on Undesirable Foreign Organizations came into force in early June this year. It requires the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Foreign Ministry to draw up an official list of undesirable foreign organizations and outlaw their activities. Once a group is recognized as undesirable, its assets in Russia must be frozen, its offices closed and the distribution of any of its materials must be banned. That said, it is doubtful that Soros still has any active assets in Russia - his foundation, which emerged in Russia in its early post-USSR years in the mid-1990s, wrapped up active operations in 2003 when Putin cemented his control on power.

It may be significant that the first financial casualty from the year's most dramatic geopolitical event involves the most ardent "globalizer" and the person hacked emails identify as the puppet-master behind the Ukraine presidential coup.

Will the US retaliate by expanding its year-long sanctions against Russia as the world continues to hurtle towards fragmented, multi-polar chaos and possibly global war? Or will there be another provocation between NATO-member Turkey and Russia as a result, perhaps one involving Russian ship transit through the Boshporus? With events now moving fast, we should not have to wait long for an answer.

If you have been following political trends you will probably be bored with the words "globalist" and "globalism" which tend to be bandied about a lot. In fact the advocates of globalism far from being the social justice warriors of their imagination, are avid supporters of the establishment, centralisation of authority, the abolition of free speech, social engineering and all the socio - economic policies well - read people associate with fascism rather than liberalism.

These hackers claimed they had hacked hacking tools from the NSA's own special-ops entity, the "Equation Group", and released these into the public domain.

Le Pen's Front National Powers Ahead In Polling For France's Regional Elections

The gap between politicians' and voters' perceptions continues to widen in France (and also in the UK, Sweden, Austria, The Netherlands and Germany it seems). News of opinion polling samples for the regional elections in France, which are due to be held next weekend shows Marine Le Pen and her Front National (FN) party are surfing a wave of popular support in the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks. Latest opinion poll results show the FN is looks set to govern at least two, and possibly all three of the French regions holding elections next week.

Now the overwhelming favourite to capture north-western France and the Marseille-Nice regions, Mme Le Pen's party is also surging in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region of eastern France. Elections are set for the next two weekends, and according to polls published yesterday FN leads with momentum in all three. Such is the backing for the party, analysts say it might gain as many votes as its conservative and centrist rivals combined.

The FN has never won a regional election outright before before and next weeks votes are the first political test for French President Francois Hollande since the Nov. 13 terrorist attacks in Paris that killed 130 people. With the country reeling from that violence and grappling with border controls, FN candidates are showing “a significant increase” in support across the country, BVA polling organisation said, although it should be noted that due to his statesmanlike handling of the crisis and France's joining the Russian campaign against ISIS in Syria, President Hollande's personal popularity has increased sharply.

Though her opponents try and define her message as “racist” and “xenophobic” when she says: “The absolute rejection of Islamic fundamentalism must be proclaimed loudly and clearly”, voters are increasingly responding positively to Le Pen's message.

Paris climate Conference Kicks Off With A Prayer To The Gods Of Greed From Bll Gates



The Bill Gates Mantra Of Self Interest (Image source)

A theme that has emerged in the run up to the Paris conference on climate change, is the the idea that only hugely expensive technological solutions for reducin CO2 emissions can save the planet. The Twitterati, in their infinite sheep like stupidity have been getting their kickers in a right old twist about it in the past few days. Today came in with an announcement that a bunch of eco-minded billionaires are calling for a big spending spree on energy technologies. The group is headed by Bill Gates, who became the richest man in the world by getting politicians and academics to help him sell poducts that were NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE. and they are offering up some of their own money, but with strings attached:

Led by Gates, about 20 private business leaders have signed on to the initiative, making their pledges conditional on governments also pledging more money, said a former U.S. government official who is familiar with the plan: - PRESS RELEASE


The first thing we need to remember here is that Bill Gates, hyped now as the world's greatest scientist, is not a scientist nor even a computer programmer, the job he went to university to study for, but dropped out of the course when he and some buddies with no professional experience of developing software or running businesses were awarded the contract to develop an operating system for the IBM Personal Computer. Could that have anything to do with his lawyer Dad's links with the CIA do you think? (You will not find anything online about that now, but it was openly spoken of among computer professionals around twenty - five years ago when we were wondering how a piece of shit like MS DOS, a blatant rip off of a rivals operating system, was picked ahead of several superior products.

But Gates lack of qualification to speak on the subject seems odd in view of the way his word is revered by world leaders when people who are eminently well qualified to comment on they physics underpinning the climate scam, such as the multiple award winning Physicist Freeman Dyson are dismissed as 'not climate scientists therefore not capable of understanding 'the science'.

Even more odd, if humanity faces an existential threat as politicians, academics and totally unqualified (to wipe their own arses in many cases) media luvvies tell us almost every day it is, and these guys have money burning a hole in their pockets, surely spending it on tech fixes is the right thing to do regardless of what the government does? Why does it only become the right thing to do if much poorer people, who may have different and more immediate priorities, are forced to contribute through green taxes?

Could it be that the world's richest selfish, fame - hungry, greedy bastard and his billionaire buddies have done a deal with politicians and international bureaucracies, "We'll help scare the punters into accepting punitive green taxes in return for a big fat chunk of the tax revenue."

EU Immigration: The People's Pushback - Immigants are now being asked to sign pledges to uphold host nation's values.



Oh dear, the politically correct left wing idiots will be furious. The latest trend to emerge in Europe as the people's pushback against immigrants who demand their host nation gives up any customs and traditions the new arrivals dislike or do not approve of (such as Muslims demanding Europeans give up eating pork or bacon because pigs are an insult to Islam), is the demand being made on new arrivals from outside the EU that they sign a pledge binding them to uphold the values and traditions of the nation where they want to live.

Now nobody is suggesting that Muslims will be forced to eat pork, nobody in Europe is forced to eat pork, or anything else, if they do not want to. We are free to choose what we eat without religious interference. OK, so catholics are not supposed to eat meat on Fridays, and Jews don't eat either pork or shellfish. But they're not going to be stoned to death if they do those things. We are liberal, tolerant societies, Islam does not tolerate tolerance.

The pushback against migrant intolerance of European ways began in Eastern Europe, where countries have taken an increasingly tough approach to migration amid the spiralling numbers of those from the Middle East and North Africa coming into Europe.

However, a severe backlash in the nations of north west Europe has led Denmark imposing legal requirements on immigrants to accept Danish customs and to Holland telling newcomers to be "good neighbours" and speak the national language if they want to stay.

Migrants could be fined or lose residency for failing to uphold European values. In future, under new regulations, non-EU newcomers to the Netherlands will be forced to sign a declaration saying they will uphold Dutch values, or pay a fine of up to €1250 and have their residency revoked.

The scheme will be rolled out after successful trials across 13 local councils in the past year.

Migrants will be monitored to ensure they uphold other people's freedoms as well as participate and integrate in society, for example by learning to speak Dutch.

Hungary has already erected a barbed wire fence along its borders and both Sweden and Germany - two of the most migrant-friendly countries in the EU, both of which are experiencing epidemics of rape and sex crimes committed by immigrants against European women - have since had to back down from their 'open doors' policies which have led to a breakdown in law and order in some cities.

The Dutch social affairs minister, Lodewijk Asscher, wrote to MPs that the government was “committed to reducing the number of refugees”.

The measures come days after Mark Rutte, the Dutch prime minister, warned the “massive influx” of refugees threatened the fall of Europe.

E U offers Turkey Cash And Membership In Return For Cooperation On Migrant Crisis

by Ian R Thorpe (blog editor)

One has to wonder whether the political leaders of western nations are all stupid, are suffering from some kind of collective insanity or really hate their own countries and cultures so much they will go to great lengths to destroy both.

In their latest exhibition of collective idiocy, European Union leaders are proposing to offer Turkey huge cash payments and special treatment to push through its application for E U membership. They hope these pledges will obtain Turkey's cooperation in slowing the surge of migrants entering Europe illegally. The offer will be made at yet another crisis summit Today (29 November 2015), although key issues remain to be hammered out.

What will not be on the agenda, we confidently predict, will be the twin issues of Turkey's involvement in smuggling oil from wells in ISIS held territory into western markets, in violation of numerous treaties, international law and United Nations resolution on terrorism, and Turkey's role as middle man in supplying US arms and ammunition to ISIS

EU Officials said the European Commission is expected to agree a three-billion-euro ($3.2 billion) cash sweetener to encourage Turkey to fund efforts to stop the flow of refugees to Europe from the conflict in Syria, 2.2 million of whom are currently in Turkey. Now it is cogent here to point out the majority of illegal migrants arriving in Turkey are not refugees from Syria, but economic migrants from elsewhere in the middle east and from north Africa. This has been documented by humanitarian aid agencies working to help the migrants.

Apart from the issues of Turkey (and significantly family members of the crooked President Edrogan) being involved in the illegal trade in ISIS oil and the supply of arms to Europe's enemies, we must also ask why our leaders are not raising questions about Turkey's genocidal war against the Kurds in the east of their country and also Turkey's track record of helping and supporting anti - western organizations throughout the middle east. And of course the sure and certain knowledge that while most Turkish people are friendly and generous, their country is run by lying, extremist shits who sympathise with the Islamic State and its aims.

but this latest betrayal of Europe's people and heritage by European Union leaders committed to the creation of a global totalitarian government does not end there.

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, deputising for President Erdogan, is also set to secure a deal for the opening in December of a new chapter in Turkey’s stalled accession talks for the 28-nation bloc. This move is being pushed by Germany, whose leaders see admission of the 90 million population Islamic nations as securing a supply of cheap labour for its factories. If Turkey is admitted however it might be suicide for the Union, as several east European members are still hostile about the brutal oppression of Orthodox Christianity under the Sultan's of The Ottoman Empire before 1918.

Turkey’s act of aggression in shooting down of a Russian jet on the Syrian border on Tuesday and Erdogan’s decision to skip the summit will not do anything to ease tensions between Brussels and Ankara and have hardened anti - Turkish opinion in Greece, The Balkan States, Bulgaria, Hungary and Austria .

EU president Donald Tusk said in his invitation letter to leaders however, that the summit “will mark an important step in developing our relations and contribute to managing the migration crisis”.

Pushed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel to hold the summit as she seeks to ease the refugee burden on her country, Tusk decided to go ahead with the meeting despite a major terror alert in Brussels.
