Obama Furious About Dutch Rejection Of Gitmo Terrorists

A diplomatic row has erupted between the US and the Netherlands over its rejection of two terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay. It exposes why the West is at a loss how to deal with the Islamic concepts of the State, Rights and Holy War.

A diplomatic row is emerging between the US and the Dutch Government. The official foreign policy of the Netherlands since the end of the Second World War has been staunchly progressively internationalist. The product of this policy is the infamous annual Bilderberg conference (link), the silent implementation of the UN's Agenda 21, The Hague as the seat of the International Court of Law and the International Criminal Court and the country's legal innovation of voluntarily subjecting national law to international treaties. This is why the rejection to accept two detainees from the US terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay comes as somewhat of a shock.

BILDERBERGER WINS AUSSIE PREMIER POST

Australia's Liberal Conservative PM Tony Abbott last night lost a party leadership challenge to a rival, the Progressive Liberal, Malcolm Turnbull. The new PM at once promised "cultural changes under his Government".  As a member of the Ruling Class Turnbull has strong Bilderberg credentials.

Earlier in February Lord Monckton told an Aussie audience that their PM Tony Abbott @TonyAbbottMHR would be the last man standing between the Radical Left and their plan to have every country in agreement to bring about a new global Treaty on "climate change" (previously referred to as "global warming"). Last night Tony Abbott faced a party leadership/PM challenge that he lost to his liberal rival. Turnbull is a pragmatist banker, career politician and member of the ruling class, who is on board with all the Cultural Marxist hobbies you can think of: gay marriage, climatism, open borders, amoralism, cap-and-trade, truth by consensus, multiculturalism and Islam apologetics. (Meet the New Guy) Although @TurnbullMalcolm stated in his first presser that the government's position on climate change will stay the same for the moment, Lord Monckton's prediction that Abbott would be removed from office, is now a fact. The Left is having a party, a sure sign of bad news. Abbott is described as "divisive", which is one degree worse than "controversial". ZeroHedge has the Bilderberg angle: 

And here’s BBC with what you need to know about Turnbull: Who is Malcolm Turnbull?

Femen Protesters Bare Breasts At Islamic Conference

Two Femen protesters stormed the stage at an Islamic conference in France yesterday. Disguised in black burkas the women made their way to the stage where they took down their tops showing their naked bodies. They were soon taken into custody by the police.

Sep 13, 2015 Two Femen activists half-naked and with messages written on their bodies jumping the Muslim Salon in Pontoise, France.

Feminist activists of the Femen action group stormed the stage yesterday during an Islamic conference in Pontoise near Paris. Dressed in black burkas the women threw off their tops showing their naked breasts, protesting the patriarchate and male domination in Islam. "No one can subjugate me, no one owns me, I am my own prophet" were some of the texts written on their bodies. The two women were quickly overwhelmed by security and offended men in the audience. Both women have an Islamic background. They were kicked and hit by angry religionists and taken into custody by the police (presumably an all male squad).

A Look At the Hidden Origins of the Koran

In 1972, during the restoration of the Great Mosque of Sana’a in Yemen laborers stumbled across the remarkable resting place of tens of thousands of parchment fragments of an early Koran.

The standard histories of Muhammad and the early development of Islam are based on Islamic literature that dates to the ninth and tenth centuries--some two centuries or more after the death of Muhammad in 632.

What is the Koran? 

By Toby Lester

“Increasingly diverse interpretations of the Koran and Islamic history will inevitably be proposed in the coming decades, as traditional cultural distinctions between East, West, North, and South continue to dissolve, as the population of the Muslim world continues to grow, as early historical sources continue to be scrutinized, and as feminism meets the Koran. With the diversity of interpretations will surely come increased fractiousness, perhaps intensified by the fact that Islam now exists in such a great variety of social and intellectual settings. … More than ever before, anybody wishing to understand global affairs will need to understand Islamic civilization, in all its permutations.”

World Beard Day: Getting a Close Shave!

The beard revival is sometimes tied to the resurgence of old-fashioned masculinity. After the well-clipped metrosexual trend of the 2000s, the beard returned with a bang. The facial jungle for men (and for women) is sometimes associated with the gender culture. But is that all there's to it? PomoNews investigates. 

Happy #WorldBeardDay, fuzz-loving followers! pic.twitter.com/QBuUyllIdC

As a blog that has as its central theme, the cultural destruction of Western civilization we can't very well abstain from commenting on the renaissance of the facial hair. It comes in trendy bushy beards, goatees, designer stubble and the ironical female mustache. As explanation for the trend religion comes to mind (the Muslim beard comes in various varieties), as well as the Freudian sexual connotation, and the gender bending approach of the Postmodern hipster. From the school of behaviorism we have the scientismic rationale of Dr. Cyril Gueter who holds that the distinguishing characteristics among apes are correlated to beards in humans. (Source) But man isn't an ape. None of these explanations is quite satisfactory. We have given the issue some thought and have come up with a philosophical perspective that is also missing from "What a beard really says about a man". (Source)

American Woman Fighter With Kurds Beheaded By IS

There is a growing number of Western fighters joining the Kurdish defense against the ISIS onslaught. These men and women are the stuff of true heroes. They voluntarily join battle against the evil of our time. Some are wounded, some pay the ultimate price for freedom.

Dutch Comedian: "Free Speech Has Been Lost"

US comedian Bill Maher and Dutch standup Hans Teeuwen are some of the few Western artists left to defend free speech. They understand that the right to criticize ideas is central to the values of the Enlightenment. A right is the inherent freedom to act. There is no right not to be offended. 

Muslims interrogating comedian Hans Teeuwen about insulting Islam. No one can be offended without his consent. 

In a recent newspaper interview (source) Teeuwen has admitted that free speech has already been forfeited. "Like film producers in dictatorships we're working around the censor in trying to find ways to say what we want to say without getting murdered". Teeuwen is admitting that since Theo van Gogh was slaughtered by a Muslim Jihadist, he is exercising self restraint. Even before then Salman Rushdie had to go into hiding. It's not a new phenomenon. But the feeling has grown over the years. "An artist poring pig's blood over a Koran has a huge problem". Teeuwen thinks it is important to point this out. "There are those who are trying to diminish the importance of free speech. That's even worse. That means that terrorism has an influence over how we think". He says that the risk of "accidents" has become too great. In your face jokes of the past are no longer possible today. We have to recognize that free speech has been lost. It's become really difficult to create a song or a sketch that isn't offensive to Muslims. There are none on his new CD. 

VIRGINIA SHOOTING: crackpot attacks on language are killing us!

A double murder in cold blood and recorded on camera is what can be expected in a culture that removes personal morality and cultivates race baiting and agitation. Liberal politicians are quick to attack the Second Amendment, distracting from the real issues.

UPDATE: The words are a part of everyday conversation — “swinging” by an address and going out in the “field.” But in the twisted mind of Virginia gunman Vester Lee Flanagan II, they were pure racism — and saying them became a death sentence for Alison Parker. (...) “Alison made racist comments,” Flanagan posted while he was on the run from cops. “They hired her after that??” he wrote. But colleagues said that it was all in Flanagan’s head and that Parker was as far from racist as they come. “That’s how that guy’s mind worked. Just crazy, left-field assumptions like that,” Ryan Fuqua, a video editor at WDBJ, told The Post. (...) Trevor Fair, a 33-year-old cameraman at WDBJ for six years, said that the words Parker used are commonplace but that they would routinely set Flanagan off. “We would say stuff like, ‘The reporter’s out in the field.’ And he would look at us and say, ‘What are you saying, cotton fields? That’s racist,’ ” Fair recounted. “We’d be like, ‘What?’ We all know what that means, but he took it as cotton fields, and therefore we’re all racists.” “This guy was a nightmare,” Fair said. “Management’s worst nightmare.” Flanagan assumed everything was a jab at his race, even when a manager brought in watermelon for all employees. “Of course, he thought that was racist. He was like, ‘You’re doing that because of me.’ No, the general manager brought in watermelon for the entire news team. He’s like, ‘Nope, this is out for me. You guys are calling me out because I’m black.’ ”Flanagan even declared that ­7-Eleven was racist because it sold watermelon-flavored Slurpees. “It’s not a coincidence, they’re racist,” he allegedly told Fair.

Varoufakis Goes Pan European

Varoufakis fans and haters get ready! Instead of running for the upcoming elections, the former Greek FinMin shall be launching a Pan European movement for pro Euro Keynesian economics that will eventually lay the groundwork for a political party. 

Yanis Varoufakis: The Greek election campaign will be 'sad and fruitless', he tells Late Night Live of Australian ABC National Radio. Player.

Varoufakis described the elections campaign as “sad and fruitless” and said that he will not be running for Greek parliament in the September elections, as he no longer believes in what Syriza and its leader, Tsipras, are doing. ‘The party that I served and the leader that I served has decided to change course completely and to espouse an economic policy that makes absolutely no sense, which was imposed upon us. I don’t believe that we should have signed up to it, simply because within a few months the ship is going to hit the rocks again. And we don’t have the right to stand in front of our courageous people who voted no against this program, and propose to them that we implement it, given that we know that it cannot be implemented.” 

4 Steps In the Fallacy of Income Equality

The truth and morality of 'equality of outcome' economics as narrated by Piketty and his shills in politics and media is a good example of gaslighting. It is fueled by 'truth by concensus'

Margaret Thatcher's last House of Commons Speech on November 22, 1990.

UPDATE: An article on the site on the Ayn Rand Institute is explaining the Piketty type fallacy:

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders complaining about economic inequality in America: 

There is something profoundly wrong when in recent years we have seen a proliferation of millionaires and billionaires yet the average American is working longer hours for lower wages and we have shamefully the highest rate of child poverty of any major country on earth. 

A question for the socialist senator from Vermont: would he prefer that that there was no proliferation of millionaires and billionaires, and that all Americans were equally mired in poverty? If not, then let’s stop talking about poverty as if it were an inequality problem. 

Sanders is employing one of the most popular gimmicks inequality alarmists use to get Americans fired up about income disparities: he is conflating hardship and comparative differences. Here’s how it works: 

Step 1: Point to people facing a genuine hardship, like poverty. 

Step 2: Point to people who are enjoying above-average success. 

Step 3: Imply that the problem is the gap between the two, not the hardship itself. (Bonus points if you can suggest that the one group’s success is the cause of the other group’s hardship.) 

Step 4: Advocate closing the gap by bringing down the high fliers. 

Whenever you see this sort of argument, you can be sure that the goal of the speaker is not to end the hardship, but to smash the successful. An analogy might help. Imagine two people are thrown into a lake: a kid who can’t swim and Michael Phelps. What would you make of someone who said, “There is something profoundly wrong when we’ve seen a child drown while an Olympic gold medalist easily swims to the shore”? Take Phelps out of the picture, and the kid is still drowning. The only reason to mention Phelps is if your goal is not to help the kid, but to smear the athlete. So it is for the inequality alarmists. They don’t want to guide everyone to dry land. They want to drown the best swimmers. (source)
