‘He didn’t know the boy didn’t want to be raped’ court throws out migrant child sex charge
AN IRAQI asylum seeker who confessed to raping a 10-year-old boy in a swimming pool, claiming it was a "sexual emergency", has had his conviction overturned.

Oh. Well, then. Sexual Emergency and all... OK, you're free to go. Enjoy your next swim.

Merkel is Hillary's Favorite World Leader...!

In swipe at Trump, Clinton names Merkel as her favorite world leader

“Oh, let me think. Look, I like a lot of the world leaders,” Clinton said, bursting into laughter initially when asked about her favorite world leader during a gaggle with reporters aboard her campaign plane in Chicago. “One of my favorites is Angela Merkel because I think she’s been an extraordinary, strong leader during difficult times in Europe, which has obvious implications for the rest of the world and, most particularly, our country.”

Clinton praised the German chancellor’s “leadership and steadiness on the Euro crisis,” while adding that “her bravery in the face of the refugee crisis is something that I am impressed by.”

Of course, Merkel is largely responsible for the refugee crisis, has refused to acknowledge that it is even a problem and take action to control it, and has, in fact, continued to exacerbate it. Of course, Hillary would admire that. Remember the migrant's mantra: "What? Me work? I am a guest of Mrs. Merkel. I don't have to work."

And besides, what immigrant problem:

Post-Brexit Economics

Boon to Britain; Stagnation to EU

Brexit 'shock' threatens to do far more damage to the European economy than to Britain

"The upshot is that despite the turmoil of the last several months, it is now eminently possible that Britain will show a higher rate of growth in the post-Brexit third quarter than the Eurozone. Few if any would have predicted such an outcome.

The British economy sails on as if nothing has happened, but the European one continues to stagnate. It is as if the Brexit shock has been more powerfully felt in Europe than in Britain. Both France and Italy showed no growth at all in the second quarter, and now even the data from Germany is starting to look poor.

That the Eurozone economy is still struggling after everything that has been thrown at it almost beggars belief. In terms of stimulus, it is hard to know how much more of a following wind the euro area could have had. It’s been positively gale force. Austerity has been effectively ended, interest rates have been cut below zero, the economy has been flooded with newly printed money, the euro was devalued and to cap it all, there has been the monumental boost to disposable incomes provided by the low oil price.
ECB The Eurozone economy is still struggling

Yet still the European economy is struggling to raise itself from its sick bed. The danger is that the depression gripping large parts of Europe has gone on for so long now that they have lost the capacity to mend, a phenomenon known as hysteresis.

All this suggests that the problem with the European economy is not so much the European Union as such as its experiment in monetary union. Europe is stuck in an economic funk of its own making, where politically it can neither move forward with the sort of institutions and policies that might in the long run make the single currency work, nor backwards to the restoration of flexible exchange rates and sovereign monetary policy."

It's best to get off a ship run by fools.

No Longer Secret: EU Puts Its Cards on the Table

European SUPERSTATE to be unveiled: EU nations 'to be morphed into one' post-Brexit

EUROPEAN political chiefs are to take advantage of Brexit by unveiling their long-held plan to morph the continent’s countries into one GIANT SUPERSTATE, it has emerged yesterday.

The foreign ministers of France and Germany are due to reveal a blueprint to effectively do away with individual member states in what is being described as an “ultimatum”.

Under the radical proposals EU countries will lose the right to have their own army, criminal law, taxation system or central bank, with all those powers being transferred to Brussels.

David Cameron will today plead for 'constructive' talks with EU leaders in preparing for Britain’s exit from the EU.

Controversially member states would also lose what few controls they have left over their own borders, including the procedure for admitting and relocating refugees.

The plot has sparked fury and panic in Poland - a traditional ally of Britain in the fight against federalism - after being leaked to Polish news channel TVP Info.

Polish politicians say the plans include loss of control of a number of key policy areas

Polish foreign minister Witold Waszczykowski has blasted the plan

The public broadcaster reports that the bombshell proposal will be presented to a meeting of the Visegrad group of countries - made up of Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia - by German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier later today.

Excerpts of the nine-page report were published today as the leaders of Germany, France and Italy met in Berlin for Brexit crisis talks.

In the preamble to the text the two ministers write: "Our countries share a common destiny and a common set of values ??that give rise to an even closer union between our citizens. We will therefore strive for a political union in Europe and invite the next Europeans to participate in this venture."

The revelations come just days after Britain shook the Brussels establishment by voting to leave the European Union in a move some have predicted could leave to the break-up of the EU.

A number of member states are deeply unhappy about the creeping federalism of the European project with anti-EU sentiments running high in eastern Europe, Scandinavia and France.

This will definitely force member nations to either exit or become subsumed by Germany in a non-democratic union. Viable nations might exit; parasites will remain; the EU will likely become parasitized into irrelevance. The oligarchy has spoken.

Germany "Owns" Europe?

Germany says 'won't let anyone take Europe from us'

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Saturday that the EU would weather the shock of the British vote to leave the union as he convened crisis talks.

“I am confident that these countries can also send a message that we won’t let anyone take Europe from us,” he said heading into a meeting in Berlin of his counterparts from the EU’s six founding members.

Well. The Allies had to take Europe away from Germany in two world wars, just in the past century. Now Germany owns them anyway?

Well, that's not exactly what he said. But Germany does control the fates of EU member nations, many of which are parasitic on the fatherland. How long will the indefatigable Germans be OK with the parasites draining off the fruits of their own productivity? Is just "owning" Greece sufficient, even though it's a money pit? Or will the stop-loss clause be asserted?

UKIP Wins It's Nations Back

It's Independence Day in the UK:

Brexit: David Cameron to quit after UK votes to leave EU

It would be for the new prime minister to carry out negotiations with the EU and invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which would give the UK two years to negotiate its withdrawal, he said.

"The British people have voted to leave the European Union and their will must be respected," said Mr Cameron. "The will of the British people is an instruction that must be delivered."

Bank of England governor Mark Carney said UK banks' "substantial capital and huge liquidity" allowed them to continue to lend to businesses and households.

The Bank of England is ready to provide an extra £250bn of support, he added.

The referendum turnout was 71.8% - with more than 30 million people voting - the highest turnout at a UK-wide vote since 1992.

Mr Farage - who has campaigned for the past 20 years for Britain to leave the EU - told cheering supporters "this will be a victory for ordinary people, for decent people".

NEGOTIATE its withdrawal?? Is this like a contested divorce, where the lawyers get everything? How soon will the UK stop the flood of incoming Muslims?

This is truly exciting. Which others will follow? Not Greece, of course, they are parasitic on Germany.

The EU Must Be Acculturated To Accommodate The "Refugees"

Migrants linked to 69,000 would-be or actual crimes in Germany in first three months of 2016: police

The tolerance of the customs of the new culture must not be abridged. Laws must be changed to allow these culturally diverse actions not to be persecuted by white man's laws! In fact, no laws at all is the ideal for utopia. As Obama says, don't abridge religious rights - of Islamics. It's easy to solve this crime problem: decriminalize it... no sweat.

Europe at the Precipice

Professor: Civil War “Most Likely” Outcome of Migrant Crisis
Low IQ of "refugees" threatens foundation of western civilization

A prominent Danish professor warns that western civilization is “threatened” by the influx of migrants from the Middle East and North Africa and that a “civil war” is the most likely outcome.

Writing in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, Professor Helmuth Nyborg, who is an expert in the connection between hormones and intelligence, discussed his previous research on how, “The effect of Europeans having few children and immigrants with low IQ” would lead to “Westerners (being) a minority in Europe, and that the average IQ drops so much that prosperity, democracy and civilization is threatened”.

Nyborg has previously asserted that low IQ migrants arriving from non-western countries leads to a decline in the average intelligence of western societies and therefore a drop in living standards and rising crime rates.

“In 2016, the current immigration policy gives us three alternatives – submission, repatriation or civil war. Unless Europe starts to lead a responsible family, immigration and integration policy, stated by the theory of evolution, I think civil war is most likely,” writes Nyborg.

Nyborg goes on to caution that simply referring to “right-wing extremism” will not make the chronic problems caused by overpopulation and failed multicultural policies disappear, warning that ethnic Europeans will be a minority in their own countries by 2050.

Ethnically homogeneous, civilized and democratic societies in Europe will be a thing of the past unless there is an “honorable repatriation” of migrants, warns Nyborg.

As we have previously highlighted, numerous prominent voices in Europe are sounding the alarm bell on the potential for the migrant crisis to explode into civil unrest and even war.

Last week, Swiss People’s Party (SVP) member of parliament Roger Köppel argued that “Europe is about to abolish itself” due to a “megalomaniac” open border policy overseen by the likes of Angela Merkel.

Last year, Swiss army chief André Blattmann warned that the risk of social unrest in Europe was intensifying and that citizens should arm themselves.

Top security experts in Germany also told Chancellor Angela Merkel last October that the middle class was becoming “radicalized” as a result of her open borders migrant policy and that domestic disorder could ensue as a result.

We live in interesting times.

Given the obvious premise underlying Islam is that the Other must assimilate into Islam, never that Islamics should assimilate into foreign cultures, then the outcome of oil/water conflict is inevitable. Undoubtedly some of the refugees will assimilate and become westernized; which ones and how many is the question. Given that entire communities hid and defended the terrorists who bombed the Belgian airport, it is surmizeable that large portions of the Islamic insurgence will not only not assimilate, but will pursue violent Islamic hegemony over their hosts.

So the options outlined by the professor seem accurate. The hosts must be assimilated into the Islamic insurgency; or the insurgents must be repatriated and removed from Europe; or there will be war waged by European citizenry against both their own Leftist government and the Islamic insurgents.

It's difficult to wage a violent insurrection against a Leftist government, when that government has removed most of the weaponry from the populace.

Thus, no EU officials need to worry much about a civil war, unless the various militaries and constabularies get involved on the revolutionary side. Probably not likely at this point.

Also not very likely is repatriation, under existing governments.

That leaves assimilation of Europeans into Islam... also not likely.

If no option seems likely, then one of the less unlikely options will occur. And civil war might just be the one.

Here's a speculation (good as any, I suspect):

EU governments will stand firm in their Leftist narratives.

Riots will occur, focused against the governments at first, then at Muslims.

Police will not intervene much except to prevent murder of Muslims.

Riots will increase to the point that the mayhem forces governments to fall, rebuild and restabilize.

Under more nationalist governments, repatriation will begin, riots will continue but start to abate.

Repatriations will escalate, until stability occurs in favor of Europe for Europeans.

EU will fall from favor, as borders are closed, ethnic values are retained, and totalitarian diktat from Brussels is ignored.

Germany will stop paying for Greek economic intransigence.
etc.

Or not. Who knows? That's why it is interesting.

The Status of Europe

Belgium’s ‘March against Fear’ cancelled due to security concerns

This is the natural consequence of a dictatorship (EU is run by unelected officials) which is infected with anti-rationalism (Leftist political correctness). Allowing hordes of barbarians into the compound is a lapse of sanity, yet that lapse is institutionalized.

The Politics of Migration

Here is a very interesting summary of the international politics of using weaponized migration against the EU.

An Avoidable Catastrophe
How Europe’s infectious institutionalization of irresponsibility is perpetuating the migrant crisis.

Perhaps destabilization of the EU is inevitable. Unless the Macedonian sovereignty model becomes widespread, a model needed here in the USA.

The Coming Post-Feminist Europe

Europe’s tragedy: Too much Angela Merkel, too little masculinity

Camille Pagilla, self-professed “feminist dissident”, put it like this in the Daily Mail:

“The entire elite class now, in finance, in politics and so on, none of them have military service - hardly anyone, there are a few. But there is no prestige attached to it anymore. That is a recipe for disaster… These people don't think in military ways, so there's this illusion out there that people are basically nice, people are basically kind, if we're just nice and benevolent to everyone they'll be nice too. They literally don't have any sense of evil or criminality.’

According to Paglia, the results are there for all to see in the on-going dysfunction in Washington, where politicians ‘lack practical skills of analysis and construction’”.

The precise problem is that Europe's political leaders have no military background, unlike leaders of the past, for instance Roosevelt, de Gaulle and Churchill. For this reason, they lack the basic understanding for defending their culture, their country and its inherent values. They are self-deprecating and apologetic, gullible and caring to the point where their policies become severely harmful to the populations they are supposed to protect.

The feminine approach threatens to throw society into chaos and outright collapse because the rule of law and its enforcement are made subject to the priorities of care, understanding and inclusion. The shortage of masculine virtues affects society and the political system. The shortage of masculine virtues is the underlying cause of the immigration problems.

The present clash with Islam, driven as it is by a dominant male culture, reveals the lamentable shortcomings of post-modern feminist culture, which does not possess the strength to defend itself against a male-dominated culture. The gross violations against women on New Year’s Eve in Cologne provide a chilling reminder of the contrast; male aggression has gained a foothold and feminine values are helpless and unable to resist.

At the moment, Europe resembles a woman who allows herself to be battered and abused by her man. Like many battered women, she tries to cover her man's violations, makes excuses for him, and returns to him time after time.

Feminists control by whinging about their own Victimhood, and attract others who are more like evil mothers-in-law than actual warriors. They are single issue feminizers, unable to create anything of import, or for that matter, defend it. They are inward focused, narcissisticly obsessed with vagina issues to the point that nothing else matters or has value. So how did they gain control over men?

Germany was hyper-masculine prior to the end of WWII. Is it possible that its passing into ignominy under the split and occupation after the war essentially castrated the men, leaving only women and eunuchs, easy prey to feminist guilt-war? I honestly don't know.
