GERMAN COURT BANS ANTI ERDOGAN SATIRE

German comedian Jan Böhmermann faces 3 years in prison for insulting Turkish President Erdogan. The Turks have now broadened their attack on Liberty to the Netherlands by prosecuting a critical columnist. Erdogan is now seeking an injunction against a German media executive.

UPDATE: A court in the German city of Hamburg on Tuesday banned the author of a poem lampooning Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan from publicly reciting passages from his work. The court ruled that only six lines of the 24-line poem by German comedian Jan Boehmermann could be recited, offering the Turkish leader a partial legal victory. The poem accused Erdogan of bestiality and paedophilia and has caused a storm in Germany over freedom of speech. Chancellor Angela Merkel has come in for criticism after she authorised possible criminal proceedings against Boehmermann. Any prosecution of the comedian would be launched under the rarely enforced section 103 of Germany’s criminal code — insulting organs or representatives of foreign states — which carries up to three years in prison

REPORT: HEZBOLLAH ORDERED TO TARGET SAUDIS

IS is a sideshow compared to the conflict that is about to engulf the Middle East and North Africa. A head-on collision between Islam's two great traditions: Shia Iran and its proxies and a great Sunni coalition led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. With the storming of the Saudi Embassy in Tehran the conflict entered a new phase. 

UPDATE: If this report is true it sounds like it could be an enormous change in the Middle East map of violent aggression. From Middle East Eye:
The military wing of the Lebanese movement Hezbollah has been instructed by Iran to suspend operations against Israel and to target Saudi Arabia instead, Middle East Eye can reveal. The instruction comes in the wake of widespread anger at the apparent assassination of Mustafa Badreddine, its military commander in Syria and head of the movement’s military wing, which Hezbollah blamed on “takfiri” forces supported by Riyadh. According to well informed sources in Lebanon, the order was conveyed in person by Qasim Soleimani, the head of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) who came to Beirut to give his condolescences. Clearly, that would be welcome relief to Israel but it signals a ramping up in the war between the two largest sects of Muslims, Sunni and Shiite. (More)

BEZOS USING WAPO FOR INFORMATION WAR

The monopoly of the media has finally come to a close. And they know it. In this live blog we relate the occasional insights into the pernicious role of the media and journalism in postmodern politics and society.



May 12, 2016 Trump: Amazon CEO using Washington Post for political power.

UPDATE: Donald Trump lashed out at Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos Thursday, claiming that the founder of Amazon.com was using the newspaper as a tool to influence corporate tax policy. (...) Trump was responding to Post Associate Editor Bob Woodward's disclosure that the newspaper has assigned 20 reporters to investigate the real estate mogul's life. (...) "He thinks I'll go after him for antitrust," Trump said Thursday. "Because he's got a huge antitrust problem because he's controlling so much, Amazon is controlling so much of what they are doing. "He's using The Washington Post, which is peanuts, he's using that for political purposes to save Amazon in terms of taxes and in terms of antitrust." Neither Bezos nor Amazon had any immediate comment in response to Trump's claims. (Source)

THE CRUZ SCHEME TO "TAKE OVER SOCIETY"

Ted Cruz has not come to bring the originalist approach to the United States Constitution. His views on Liberty are not based on the principles of the Founding Fathers and the Enlightenment philosophers, but rather on a Christian heretic cult. He has a lot of his followers fooled, not least evangelicals and Tea Party Libertarians. 

UPDATE: We have previously outlined the approach the Karl Rove/Lee Atwater GOPe types will use to take down Ted Cruz. –HERE– Democrats would also use a similar approach if they ever had the need. Senator Cruz personifies their ideal opponent. Most of Ted Cruz supporters are severely religious, and/or they are part of the financial enterprises surrounding religion. As a direct consequence both elements are intensely committed to avoid vetting him. This head-in-sand approach presents a serious issue – when they don’t confront the problems they’re set up for catastrophic failure. The approach of “proselytizing as an electoral strategy” will bring money from intensely religious followers – but it can never win a broad based election. The following article from 2013 highlights how the GOPe will bring down Cruz as soon as his usefulness is expired. [2013 – TEXAS] In a sermon last year at an Irving, Texas, megachurch that helped elect Ted Cruz to the United States Senate, Cruz’ father Rafael Cruz indicated that his son was among the evangelical Christians who are anointed as “kings” to take control of all sectors of society, an agenda commonly referred to as the “Seven Mountains” mandate, and “bring the spoils of war to the priests”, thus helping to bring about a prophesied “great transfer of wealth”, from the “wicked” to righteous gentile believers.

OBAMA INTERFERING IN #BREXIT SPARKS RACISM CHARGES

Obama is in London for a 3 day trip. The White House has said Obama favors Cameron's position that Britain should remain in the European Union. A contentious debate involving Obama's legacy and history related to the former British colony Of Kenya, is ensuing. The man who brought it up -- Boris Johnson -- is accused of the emptiest of all arguments, RACISM! 



Obama is in London for a three-day trip. He's already causing a contentious debate. 

President Obama looks set to wade into the contentious debate in the United Kingdom over whether or not the UK should remain a member of the EU. Some are angry at the president’s intrusion into a national issue ahead of a major vote. Prime Minister David Cameron wants Obama’s backing ahead of the June 23 referendum, in which Britons will choose to remain or leave. The Conservative Party is torn between globalists and nationalists. Polls have shows the race is tight, with the Remain campaign holding an edge as small as one percent. The White House has said "Obama is willing to offer his opinion and may announce that he favors Cameron's position". (...)

SHOCK! DOZENS OF GERMAN SOLDIERS JOINED ISIS

After a Dutch Muslim sergeant in the Royal Dutch Air Force deserted to the Islamic State, now reports are emerging of 65 active German soldiers being investigated on claims of being ISIS fan boys, with as many as 29 former German soldiers gone to ISIS strongholds in Syria and Iraq.

UPDATE: Dozens of German soldiers have travelled to Syria and Iraq to join Islamic State fighters, a report has sensationally claimed. The country’s defence ministry is calling for more screening of new recruits amid fears of ISIS jihadis penetrating the German Army in order to get military training. The report dealt a further blow to German Chancellor Angela Merkel after it revealed that 65 active German soldiers are being investigated on claims they are jihadi sympathisers. Background checks on those looking to join the Bundeswehr are said to be put in place next month. The report revealed that 29 former German soldiers may have gone to ISIS strongholds in Syria and Iraq to fight with depraved militants. Since 2007, around 22 soldiers have been identified as Islamists with 17 of them being struck off. Parliament's commissioner for the military, Hans-Peter Bartel said the chilling report should be taken seriously and claimed that training in the German army is an attractive proposition. (...) A recent study from the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT) revealed that between 720 and 760 Germans are believed to have traveled to join the barbaric death cult.

THE SATIRICAL VIDEO THAT HAS ERDOGAN UPSET

Mar 17, 2016 Satirical Song Erdowie, Erdowo, Erdogan | Extra 3 | NDR. Turkish subtitles

UPDATE: The Turkish state is pushing to have a satirical video mocking president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan banned in Germany, summoning Germany’s top diplomat in Turkey the foreign ministry for a dressing down. The catchy “Erdowie, Erdowo, Erdogan [Erdo-how, Erdo-where, Erdoğan]” song was shown on March 17th by Germany’s public broadcasters NRD, on their satirical extra3 show. However, the video appears to have bruised the ego of Turkey’s Islamist president, and German Ambassador Martin Erdmann was ordered to “justify” the comical video during a lengthy discussion in the Turkish capital last Tuesday, Spiegel reports. Following the talk, the Germany Foreign Office Tweeted last night: “In his talks at Ministry of ForeignAffairs #Turkey, GER Ambassador made clear that freedom of press+speech must be secured”.

(LIVE) COUNTER TERROR OPERATION IN ROTTERDAM

The soldiers of the Caliphate struck Tuesday March 22 at the heart of Brussels, right under the noses of the EU and NATO, in a series of terror attacks that are related to the horrific assault on Paris last year. The incompetence of the authorities is matched by vacuous symbolism.  The tally stands at 31 dead and over 270 wounded.

UPDATE: In the meantime in Rotterdam in the Netherlands a 32 year old man has been arrested  by the counter terrorism squad. The man is wanted in France for terrorism and will be extradited as soon as possible. Three others have also been arrested. Two of them are Algerians. The operation is ongoing and can be viewed through the link above by Periscope.

(UPDATED) SECRET ESTABLISHMENT CONFAB TO STOP TRUMP

Over the weekend 54 private jets arrived at Sea Island, Georgia for a top secret crony confab to Stop Trump and thwart the will of the people. The GOP establishment was joined by a great number of progressives from the world of politics and private industry. 


UPDATE: The establishment is confusing the US with their private club. A candidate for political office isn't required to be balloted by their secret cabal. Once we start accepting this principle we have replaced democracy with an oligarchy.

It may be noted that the dinosaur media (except for the neocon Bill Crystal and New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger) was passed by. Instead the tech and social media boys were involved. Crystal has reportedly said that the question 'who or what created Trump' should for now be put aside: the importance is stopping Trump. According to Rush Limbaugh the main arguments brought up against Trump were also brought up against Ronald Reagan: not "presidential" material, a bad role model, erratic, not the temperament for the nuclear trigger, etc. Of course all that was no problem at all when Obama was candidate for Commander in Chief of the armed forces.
