If Mohammad tried to conquer Christendom a decade earlier or a decade later, he would have been crushed. Unfortunately for the world, the Romans (Byzantine) were badly weakened by plague that they just didn't have the manpower to do so (plagues happened repeatedly from the 6th through 8th century).

So guys I'm now one week in Belgistan in a city between Brussels and Antwerp. I was in Brussels too. How about the Muslims there? Well I see arab guys but normal white people as well. Some girls cover their hair and some even more. Belgium seems to be more mixed in general. So far I spend my time in "good" areas, so don't know about other districts.

Still I'm concerned how Islam spread and how many of those younger girls cover their hair. They eat ice cream and stuff like that but they are truly the ones that pass on Islam. The tried attack in France just prove what I have written before. The Muslim women is the one that teach all the stuff to the sons, they pass on the Islamic faith. They are not open to marry a white non muslim. This stuff is just to much shit going on.

You got it all wrong, it's the female Islamic contribution to society by dressing handy replacements for the brave misunderstood lone and definitely not networked fellows who so courageously enrichen the European retrograde culture through axe, knife, gun, car and explosive back packs

Could be true - the Persians were hit after a massive war as well.

But you have to realize why Islam succeeded so long militarily and even almost wiped out modern civilization completely if they had been successful in Vienna the last time.

It is a fantastic system:

1) UNIFICATION UNDER ONE BANNER You cannot leave, you are bribed and encoureged to join, you are punished for not joining. It all happens under the banner of a religion, one God etc., so it unites very diverse tribes and mentalities. European nations were all divided and warring among each other - even the Spanish did not unite, but instead let their neighbors be slaughtered believing the Muslim conquerors that they would not attack them.

2) ASSIMILATION OF SOME KNOWLEDGE OF CONQUERED CULTURES (also for one time long ago attraction of best scientists in the world) They did that for a while especially as they reached India and took the mathematics from them, then also the Zoroastran-Persian scientists. But also the Ottomans were long since purchasing scientists from the West to help them along. That goes a long way so long as the West did not start educating everyone and creating professional universities. When the West had done that, then it was Game over, because knowledge was suddenly transferred scientifically and many geniuses were able to help humanity while in older times the very same geniuses being an illitarate peasant would be spent milking cows.

3) THE DOCTRINE OF ISLAM CALLS FOR RELENTLESS WARS AND INCLUDES MANY COMMANDS AND WISE MILITARY STRATEGIES They call for relentless conquest - all the successful leaders since Mohammed did that. One other thing is to keep on fighting and keep on pushing. If they did not succeed, then they did not give up. They attacked Italy non-stop while never being able to conquer it. They attacked wave after wave - sometimes years apart, sometimes months and sometimes decades, but they never stopped.

Also a clever though unethical strategy is claiming to have a peace treaty while just preparing your forces for the next battle. In addition the strategy of slow peaceful growing until you can start demanding and later killing the unbelievers into submission. That is a good strategy.

Those are the 3 main reasons for the success of Islam. If you wanted to experience solid warfare every few months, then there was never a good time as to be born a Muslim warrior in the 6th to 14th century.

The weaknesses of Islam of course are many as well and we have discussed it in length here as well. Still - the overall military strategy of this ideology for medieval conquest where the warriors get riches, pussy and adrenaline - that is perfect.

And history should tell you that if they don't give up on Islam, then they will never ever give up on the goal of worldwide conquest. They will continue until some power in the world either pushes back the religion, reforms it to an unrecognizable state or completely bans it.

From a medieval military perspective I have great respect for the clever war strategy called Islam:

And also it explains that while it struck sometimes at the right time you have to realize that the Muslim forces would have struck again and again until the time was right. Just like the Persian and the Byzantine forces they misunderstood the enemy. And so do the Western women and the brainwashed Western masses. But don't worry - the true elite does not commit errors like that out of 'too much feminine love'. They do it for a specific goal. We will soon find out what it is.

Agreed. But you have to view it a bit nuanced.

What the globalists did:

1. Funded Saudi Arabia
2. Reignited radical Islam in the 1970s - Brerzinski in Afghanistan, probably also organizations like Muslim Brotherhood etc.
3. Likely funded the Iranian revolution with Khomeini being an MI6 agent
4. Likely funded Al-Quaeda/ISIS/any 'moderates' into existence (with support of other Muslim radicals)

BUT:

It is not really an invention by the Americans per se. First - Americans have been the leading battering arm of the globalists only since the 20th century - before that it was the British.

Also while the Ottoman empire was not Wahhabi, it was the following:

1. Sharia law applied, honor killing of women happened etc.
2. Inbreeding galore - that is why many regional commanders were former child-slave warriors - far mor reliable and competent
3. Slavery - even up until the 1950s some areas had a 40% slave population (pretty well documented for cities like Istanbul)
4. Jizya - tax on unbelievers

Ataturk executed all those reforms to push Islam back, because he realized that it would have held the Ottomans permanently in the Middle Ages. Yes - they were more moderate than the Saudis, but still not compatible with modern civilization.

But yeah - without the full support of the globalists who wanted radicalization it is difficult to tell how the Muslim countries would look like. If Ataturk's heirs were still in power there, if the Shah of Persia was around (or his sons), if Gaddafi was still having his orgies and paying every Libyan plenty, if secular Muslim leaders were supported instead of radicals - then very likely we would not have the crap happening now - marching towards a global conflict. All those countries mentioned would be secular and become more secular by the day maybe with Islam relegated to some kind of moral backbone of patriarchy and not much more.

But those are musings of an idealists. The globalists do what they do and unfettered Islam does what it does (the texts are all there and ISIS is fully Islam-compliant, but hardly anyone used the full extents of the violent texts - IsIS does).

Currently the Westerners are guilty of being manipulated by their leaders and becoming cucks and the Muslims are guilty for letting their religion dictate their life and thinking that much as well (though they are not fully responsible for the radical turn it took in the last decades).

Quote:Recognised asylum seekers sign from this country to travel for a short time just in the country from which they have fled. This could be an indication that no persecution exists.

Recognized refugees return for holiday purposes temporarily in that country back from which they are officially fled. This was revealed by research by the "Welt am Sonntag". The newspaper learned of recognized asylum seekers who have been unemployed for a short time traveled to countries such as Syria, Afghanistan and Lebanon. Then they come back to Germany.

Oh yes help those poor refugees. Give them all the money and housing for free and then let them do vacation in their countries as well. Out of this will no consequent happen. The elites want to flood Germany and destroy the economy in the long run by those parasites. This whole fake refugee stuff is such a make up but they did sell the people this big lie with a smile and just stuck it deep inside us.

There would be no refugee crisis at all when Germans would not be so complete naive by thinking those people need our help. They know exactly what they are doing. Rip of as much as they can from the naive and stupid Germans.

Advice for German women from the police:
Quote:GERMANY. In last year alone more than two million immigrants from the Third World came to Germany, almost all of them males. Since then the number of sexual assaults has exploded. Now the federal police distribute tips to German women on how they can protect themselves from being raped.

“When women feel anxiety when they walk towards a group of men, or when they perceive a situation that emanates possible danger, they should trust their intuition in any case, and they should avoid getting into those kinds of situations any deeper,” says Markus Koths, the press spokesman for the Federal Police (BKA).

One might even “have to attempt a detour if need be.” Moreover, one should always look “to see if there might be police nearby to whom one could talk.”

But should one still get attacked by asylum seekers despite all these precautionary measures, it is of utmost importance to defend oneself.

“Hereby one has to go forward as bravely and determinedly as possible. Also, screaming loudly is a good method to alert people passing,” opines the BKA spokesperson.

“Please call the police!”

Moreover, it’s important to concretely address someone in the immediate vicinity in such a way that the person instantly knows that it is exactly he who is being spoken to. This way the pressure might be stronger to help. One example would be: “You over there with the glasses and the blue raincoat, please call the police!”

Should there be no option to call the police beforehand, then the affected person should call emergency services immediately after the rape, and also notify the police. Additionally, women can log into the national website hilfetelefon.de after a sexual assault in order to receive advice.

Additional tips for women from the BKA:

Always walk at a minimum as a pair or three people.

Wear sneakers instead of high heels so that you can run away.

Avoid alcohol and drugs.

It’s best to only drink out of bottles that you yourself have opened.

Don’t always stare at the cellphone but actively observe your surroundings.

In an emergency don’t act like a victim but like an opponent: Genitals, joints, eyes, nose and ears are good targets, since that’s where pain is the highest.

Austrian re-election delayed:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-09-11...on-delayed

"This Is An Unbelievable Disgrace For The Country" - Austria Stunned After Symbolic Election Delayed

Quote:Austrian conspiracy theorists have had a bumper year in 2016.

First, in the April 24 presidential election, the frontrunning candidate of Austria's anti-immigrant Freedom Party, Norbert Hofer, who many said was virtually guaranteed to become the central European country's first "right-wing" president, mysteriously lost when some 31,000 mailed-in ballots tipped the vote against him in the last second, handing the election to his far more moderate, and pro-European challenged, Van der Bellen. Hofer’s defeat sparked widespread relief across the ranks of Europe's unlected establishment bureaucrats, as his victory would mark yet another significant moment in the advance of nationalism across EU member states. As Newsweek put it, "in the wake of Brexit, it would be seen as another defeat for the European political establishment."

Accusations immediately emerged that the vote had been rigged, with the traditional response that these are merely the deranged ramblings of sore loser "nationalists." Only... that was not the case, and in July Austria's Constitutional Court ruled that the presidential runoff election must be held again, after it found "widespread" voting fraud, handing yet another victory to "conspiracy theorists" everywhere.

Then, following the surge in terrorist attacks in France and Germany in July, an August Gallup polls showed that Hofer's lead over his opponent Van der Belden had continued to grow, showing the midpoint of the wide range of support for Hofer at 52 percent—one point higher than a poll in early July—versus 48 percent for Van der Bellen.

At this point the establishment was clearly panicking, which may have indirectly led to the lastest fiasco surrounding what has already become the most scandalous presidential election in recent European history, an election that has little practical - but dramatic and widespread symbolic - value for Europe.

As AFP reports, it is now virtually certain that the election scheduled for October 2, and which Hofer will not lose this time, will not be held after all, as an "embarrassing postponement of Austria's high-stakes October 2 presidential election looked all but inevitable Saturday, because of technical problems involving glue failing to stick on postal votes."

In the wake of the abovementioned May presidential election, which was annulled after Austria's highest court upheld claims of procedural irregularities made by the narrowly-defeated far-right, a new election had been scheduled for October 2. This necessitated fresh elections but this time there appear to be... problems with glue on postal votes not sticking, making them invalid.

On Saturday independent ecologist Alexander Van der Bellen joined his rival in the vote, Norbert Hofer from the far-right, in saying he now expects a postponement.

"I don't believe that October 2 is possible any more," Van der Bellen, 72, told a news conference. "I hope that (the new election) can still take place this year." But they may not... because the glue on the same postal votes that were used to rig the last election is "no longer sticking."

Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka meanwhile made his clearest indication yet of a postponement, saying that "it does not look like" the problems can be resolved in time. He is due to make an announcement on Monday.

According to local media, the October election may now not even take place in 2016: Die Presse daily cited unnamed sources as saying that the government was looking at several possible dates in November, but that mid-December or even January were being considered.

Pushing the election back poses legal problems, however, and the government is considering drawing up special legislation allowing it to happen.

Some called this farce for what it is: "this is an unbelievable disgrace for... the whole country," Die Presse said in an editorial entitled "Banana Republic".

Meanwhile Hofer, 45, officially launched his election campaign in Wels in northern Austria despite the likely postponement, hitting out at the "stupidity" of allowing mass immigration by "economic migrants". The May 22 vote, a run-off after a first round in April, saw Van der Bellen narrowly beat Hofer by just 31,000 votes. The FPOe has stoked concerns about recent record immigration, and should Hofer eventually win it would make Austria the first country in Europe since 1945 to elect a nationalist president, and unleash even more anti-immigrant sentiment across Europe just in time for the all important French presidential elections where National Front's Marine le Pen has a substantial advantage.

As reported before, the role of the Austrian president is largely ceremonial, but a victory by Hofer - symbolic as it may be - would be a major boost to Europe's other surging populist movements.

And now the "conspiracy theorists" can come up with alternative, and has been the case, correct, explanations for what really happened.

One thing is for certain, Zel, the globalists hate democracy and it is coming to end very soon (if it hasn't already).

We'll know how badly elections are rigged once the US Elections happen.

Yes - the globalists hate real democracy, but they took over the process a long time ago. The last non-globalist president in power in the US was Andrew Jackson. Lincoln even only betrayed them just like JFK.

Either way - currently democracy is just used to legitimize the official power.

They will nonetheless try to rig this, but will likely fail, since the real advantage of the FPOE in Austria is probably 60-40.

http://newobserveronline.com/austria-111...-6-months/

Quote:A total of 11,158 nonwhite invaders in Austria pretending to be refugees were arrested for violent assaults, drugs, thefts, and sexual assaults committed during the first six months of this year.

This works out to 1,859 per month, or 62 per day—and at this rate it is going to easily supersede last year’s record “asylum seeker” criminal spree, when 15,236 crimes were reported for the entire year.

Last time I visited Vienna a few weeks ago I got into 3 shady situations - attempted fight at a mall, attempted blowjob at the park, attempted theft as I was waiting for my train early in the morning. And I was only there for 2 days!

24000 arrests will be made in 2016 - done by 500.000 rapefugees currently residing in Austria. Keep in mind that those are only the arrests - the crimes are likely in the vicinity of 100.000. So essentially they stick to the ratio of rapefugee - crime - of 20%.

They had 200.000 crimes in Germany done by some million rapefugees. Of course many were for multiple offenses, since they were released 20 times and many were done in the rapefugee centers, but still - the numbers are clear.

20 crimes per 100 rapefugees coming in - and this does not even matter if 20% of them are doing it or just 5% being extra-busy.

But - as I predicted a few pages ago - I expect most European countries to be headed by anti-immigration parties in the coming years and decades. Too bad that by then the big war can no longer be prevented.

It is possible to look at the German policy (mostly supported by women) inviting in the migrants as a form of female rebellion, against the boredom of a safe and secure environment.

The number of weapons apprehended so far is reported as “staggering.”

In a 15 day period, authorities have seized one-third of the quantity of war-grade weapons that are normally seized in a year.

Seems like France is actually making some progress with the door kicking. Hope this really is a turning point but until the demographics change this is still a temporary solution.

Most folk don't know that ALL MOSQUES are legally functioning courts and the main Imam has also to be a judge under Islam. Essentially Islam is created that way that any mosque is instantly Muslim territory with their own legal system - it is more like an ambassy and less like a church. In fact - it is like a conquered territory for Islam.

That is why it is not overly remarkable to be used for weapons storage and military training & motivation for the soldiers. IT NEVER WAS MEANT TO BE LIKE A CHRISTIAN CHURCH OR BUDDHIST TEMPLE.

......

As for the attempted blowjob in Vienna. Took a piss in the park at night and a rapefugee crept up through the bushes towards me. I saw him early walking around - my educated guess is that he sucks dick for money (or fun). I shouted: "Fuck off!" and went my way.

Ah - multiculturalism - such an enrichment to the previously boring Vienna life. Vienna can forget winning the price of CITY with the highest living standard in the world - ever again (they won that many times over in the past). They pissed that one straight away by letting in 500.000 rapefugees (many of whom will stay forever).

Quote:Schools in St. Paul, Minnesota, are out for the summer, and kids are basking in the rare Minnesota sun. As families head to the lake, there’s an overwhelming sense of relief that school is over.

But this is not the usual end-of-school rejoicing, for it hasn’t been an ordinary year in St. Paul. Just days after the last school bell rang, a dramatic uprising of teachers, parents, and school board members ousted Superintendent Valeria Silva.

Silva’s approach to school discipline sparked the revolt. Her policies, initiated in 2010, launched the St. Paul schools on a downward spiral of chaos and violence. In December 2015, Ramsey County attorney John Choi labeled the situation “a public health crisis.” In 2015, assaults on teachers in St. Paul schools reported to his office tripled compared to 2014, and were up 36 percent over the previous four-year average.

Teachers, Students Fear for Their Safety

On Silva’s watch, the city’s high schools have become menacing places where gangs of out-of-control teens prowl the halls, and “classroom invasions” by students settling private disputes are commonplace.

Tumultuous brawls are a fact of life. Today, fights that “might have been between two individuals” can grow into “melees involving up to 40 or 50 people,” according to Steve Linders, a St. Paul police spokesman. Roving packs often attack individuals, and police have had to use chemical irritants to break up what they call “riots.”

Teachers fear for their safety. In the last school year, a vicious student assault landed one in the hospital with a traumatic brain injury. Another was punched repeatedly in the chest, while another required staples for a head wound. One high school has issued emergency whistles to teachers and assigned a guard to every floor. A teacher who was crushed into a shelf in a classroom invasion now instructs her students to use a “secret knock” to enter her classroom, according to City Pages.


Anarchy also reigns at many elementary schools. A teacher caught between two fighting fifth-grade girls was knocked to the ground with a concussion. In the St. Paul Pioneer Press, former fourth-grade teacher Aaron Benner described young kids running screaming through the halls, cussing out teachers, and attacking classmates. “Safety was my number one concern, not teaching,” he wrote.

Using Race as a Weapon for Inequality

The discipline policies that gave rise to this chaos sprang from Silva’s embrace of “racial equity” ideology. In St. Paul, as across the nation, black students as a group are referred for discipline at higher rates than their peers. Silva made eliminating this racial gap a top priority.

In Silva’s view, the gap is caused by teachers’ racial bias and cultural insensitivity, not by higher rates of misconduct by black students. She mandated “white privilege” training for all district personnel, eliminated “continual willful disobedience” as a suspendable offense, and shifted many special education students with behavior problems—students who are disproportionately black—to mainstream classrooms. Now unruly kids just chat with a “behavior specialist” or are shifted to another classroom to act up again.

Silva also pressured schools to deal internally with infractions such as assault, sexual violence, and drug possession, rather than reporting student offenders to police. Her goal was to end what has been called “the school to prison pipeline” for black students. One irate mother told the Pioneer Press that, after her middle-school son was cut with an X-Acto knife, a school official told her contacting the police was up to her.

As Silva’s new discipline regime took hold, reading and math scores dropped and headlines about assaults on teachers appeared with disturbing frequency. Yet instead of reconsidering, her administration moved quickly to control public relations damage. For example, district officials attempted to silence teacher critics by accusing them of having “issues with racial equity,” one veteran teacher told City Pages. Benner, an outspoken critic who is black, told City Pages that district leaders pushed him out of his school and fired his aide. Benner now works at a charter school.

In December 2015, teachers threatened to strike over mounting safety concerns. “Do students and staff deserve to come to work every day and not expect to be assaulted?” demanded Denise Rodriguez, president of the St. Paul Federation of Teachers. “Teachers want to know who has our back with this violence.” Meanwhile, St. Paul families of all races began flooding into charter and suburban public schools, taking millions of dollars in state aid with them.

Now the Same Rules are Nationwide

In November 2015, St. Paul voters overwhelmingly elected a majority of Silva opponents to the school board. Several months later, parents launched a petition demanding Silva’s resignation, and black, white, and Asian community leaders issued the same call in the Pioneer Press. Finally, on June 21, 2016, the school board announced Silva’s departure after buying out her contract at a cost of almost $800,000.

Not everyone was happy: School board member Jean O’Connell promptly resigned, protesting what she called the board’s “destructive and cynical” behavior. “We must refuse to allow the board to let up on racial-equity efforts,” she wrote in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Fortunately for St. Paul’s children, the city’s parents and teachers were able to hold Silva democratically accountable. But the federal government is now imposing Silva-style “racial equity” discipline policies on school districts around the country under a “disparate impact” interpretation of civil rights law. When these districts experience increased violence and disorder, citizens there will be powerless to stop the debacle.

The greatest victims will be the poor and minority children in whose names these policies are imposed, but who will now be expected to learn in a chaotic environment where learning has become impossible.

The many joys of Somali enrichment. I can't wait for a constant threat of violence to fill schools around the nation.
