The annual Bilderberg Convention 2015 is held from Thursday to the Sunday, June 11th-14th at the Interalpen Hotel, in the Austrian mountains near Telfs.
Dan Hannan was a guest last week on the Dutch state TV "flagship" political talkshow "Buitenhof". Among other great truths and wonderful statements Dannan pointed out that we are in this recession (in Europe) because its leaders "won't admit they got it wrong on the single currency" (the euro).
That the euro would fail, was predictable and common sense. A economic union of unequals means inevitably that high performers are being held back to the benefit of low performers. A fast runner can run slower, but you can't make a slow runner run faster.
Many are wondering which ideology Russia is following: ethnic Nationalism or an Eurasian cult of personality? It doesn't really matter. This much is sure: it will be pre-modern in mentality, collectivist in nature and the people will be subordinated to the state. Some think that's hot!
Feb. 28, 2015 Weather camera of Russian TV station TVC showing the shooter of Boris Nemtsov before and after the killing. The moment itself is interrupted by a snow clearing vehicle.
UPDATE: On Thursday, May 28, 2015 the Atlantic Council is presenting the English translation of the Nemtsov report. The Atlantic Council report, Hiding in Plain Sight: Putin’s War in Ukraine, provides irrefutable evidence exposing the breadth and depth of Russian military involvement in Ukraine’s east. Drawing upon publicly available information, the report documents the movement of Russian troops from training camps into Ukraine. It also demonstrates that many artillery strikes on Ukraine originate in Russia and examines the wide array of Russian military equipment in the hands of so-called separatist forces.
Boris Nemtsov, the Russian opposition leader murdered in view of the Kremlin in Moscow on February 27, 2015, reached the same conclusion: Putin’s war is being fought in Ukraine at the cost of Russian lives. Published posthumously in Russian, Nemtsov’s report, Putin. War., will be released for the first time in English by the Free Russia Foundation. (Source)
Turns out the postmodern stupidity of the false equivalence by non essentials is of all ages. Watch this scene, an episode from Black Sails, an altogether very recommendable American dramatic adventure television series set on New Providence Island.
Fruit, Fruit, Tits, Tits - Black Sails - IMDb - Wiki
UPDATE: Simply uncanny! You don't expect this to happen! Just as we posted an interview with Ayaan Hirsi Ali on the event of her new book -- Heretic -- on the all pressing necessity of a Islamic reformation, here is liberal cynic Jon Stewart doing a Fruit, Fruit, Tits, Tits on her, insisting instead to focus attention on the false moral equivalence of Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Ayaan, who has heard this stupidity a gazillion times before, keeps her eye firmly on the ball. Watch!
Congress has extended an invitation to Bibi Netanyahu to speak before an upcoming joint session. Obama took it as an affront to the dignity of his administration. Obama has sent a campaign team to Israel to ensure Netanyahu isn't re-elected. The latter reciprocated. Tuesday March 3 at 11:00 AM the speech to Congress is going ahead.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's Full Speech To Congress on nuclear deal with Iran. UPDATE:
The pen is mightier than the sword. Ridicule is mightier than the pen. Humor is a caricature of reality: an exaggeration of some characteristics and oversimplification of others. (Wiki) But that theory of humor presupposes that the observer is in touch with reality. This explains why many won't accept present schtick. LOL
In today’s culture there is a tendency to associate capitalism with religion. That association stems from generations of conservatives suggesting that what makes America free, great, and exceptional is faith. So it’s hardly a surprise that many Americans who revere science oppose capitalism.
Onkar Ghate challenges the view that we face a choice between science and capitalism.
In this talk, delivered as part of ARI’s Road to a Free Society tour, ARI senior fellow Onkar Ghate challenges the view that we face a choice between science and capitalism. Instead, he argues that capitalism is the system of reason and science — and that statism is the system of faith and obedience to authority.
Recorded on December 3, at ARI’s headquarters in Irvine, California.
In the last few days reports keep coming in of hundreds of Assyrian Christians abducted from their villages. (Source) In the margins of that terrible news cultural cleansing is taking place at unprecedented pace, part of the official definition of genocide.
Feb 27, 2015 CBS: ISIS terrorists take the hatchet to priceless 3,000 year old Assyrian artifacts in Nineveh Museum, Mosul. H/t @Kromst
The Islamic State released a video on Thursday showing militants using sledgehammers to smash ancient artifacts in Mosul. There is no place in the reborn world for three thousand year old 'idolatry'. These aren't 'idols' as such, but that Biblical commandment is just an excuse anyway. The psycho-epistemology that moves these primitives is plain. These Utopians want to rid their post revolutionary world of all impure thoughts. They mean to destroy ideas, which is why they destroyed the people first. Taking the hatchet to the symbols of their past is just the final nail in the coffin.
The ISIS Propaganda Unit have posted a video that is supposed to be the terror organization's answer to the Oscar winning, blockbuster movie American Sniper directed by Clint Eastwood. All they do is prove who they are: knuckle dragging Neanderthals with guns.
Feb 25, 2015
The footage, showing a series of assassinations in Syria, is said to be a bid to rival the Oscar nominated film American Sniper.
You could have fooled Michael Moore, or the other primitive life form called ISIS, but American Sniper isn't about shooting as many people in the head as possible. The opening scene shows Kyle with a target in the cross hairs. He abstains from shooting him. Next he is presented with a mother and child, which poses an almost impossible moral dilemma for any soldier who has just become a father for the first time. The mother hands the boy an IED (or some other explosive device) for a suicide mission against the convoy Kyle is to protect. Kyle shoots both nevertheless, saving the lives of his comrades.
Mental babies with razors are running an existential war against our civilization (source), some on purpose, some out of stupidity. This is the moment where we all burst out in to hysterical laughter by the absurdity of it all. It could actually be funny in a bizarre sort of way if it wasn't so exceedingly dangerous.
