Dutch motorbike gang taking on ISIS

Members of a notorious Dutch motorcycle gang who have been pictured helping Kurdish forces fight ISIS in Syria have been told they are not committing any crime. 
Three bikers from the 'No Surrender' Banditos gang travelled to Syria to help fight the Islamic militants last week, according to Klaas Otto, the head of the group.

Now the Dutch prosecutor has told gang members that they will not be prosecuted for going to fight abroad, because such actions are only illegal if you are fighting troops from the Netherlands.

Goodbye, Columbus

Via III Percent Patriots

Goodbye, Columbus

In 1492, “Columbus sailed the ocean blue” and discovered the New World. And Oct. 12 was once a celebrated holiday in America.

School children in the earliest grades knew the date and the names of the ships on which Columbus and his crew had sailed: the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria. They knew his voyage had been financed by Queen Isabella of Spain, after the Genoese Admiral of the Ocean Sea had been turned down by other monarchs of Europe.

Oct. 12, 1492, was considered a momentous and wonderful day in world history: the discovery of America — by men from Europe.

This year, Columbus Day passed almost without notice. And that Columbus Day has become an embarrassment to many and an issue of savage controversy to some reflects a receding belief in this country in the superiority of our civilization.

Army Tried To Get Rid Of Whistleblower, Stopped For Now By Special Counsel

 

When an Army civilian police officer disclosed that other officers were receiving unearned pay approved by the manager, the Army rewarded his whistleblowing efforts by promptly trying to fire him, The Washington Post reports.

Whistleblower Kenneth Delano has been temporarily spared by the intervention of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC), postponing the procedure for 45 days until a full investigation can be carried out.

Delano’s original disclosure was reported to the Defense Department’s inspector general back in August 2013. Two other officers were receiving $25,000 dollars each in a process approved by managers. While the Army did in fact stop paying the officers, it followed up by ordering an investigation of a car crash Delano had suffered. Delano’s patrol car had been damaged. Steering routinely malfunctioned on the car.

 The White Slaves of Barbary

art-link-symbol-small-rev01.jpg White slaves
It is estimated that up to 1.25 million Europeans were enslaved by the so-called Barbary corsairs, and their lives were just as pitiful as their African counterparts. They have come to be known as the white slaves of Barbary. The corsairs landed on unguarded beaches and crept up on villages in the dark to capture their victims. Almost all the inhabitants of the village of Baltimore, in Ireland, were taken in this way in 1631, says April Holloway in this article, The White Slaves of Barbary, at Ancient Origins.

It said: So over the past few days of our Ebola coverage we’ve had a recurring problem. Mainstream sources keep taking down information. Information is being blacked out. Sometimes when we try to find an archived version, the internet has been scrubbed of the information. Readers follow the links we provide and discover the story says something totally different. FROM THIS POINT FORWARD: If you are writing something about Ebola, take a screen shot of whatever source you’re quoting. Make sure the address bar above shows in the screen shot.

Hope and no change - Going to the voting booth only changes the players… not the game. Every single election cycle people fill themselves with hope. They delude themselves into believing that everything will get better if they vote the right guy into office. Of course, the right guy very quickly turns into the last guy. And nothing changes.

Africa Wins Again - A new and remarkably candid on-the-ground audit from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the Ebola crisis in Liberia said that doctors and nurses have fled hospitals in the infection zone and that obstacles to killing the virus remain... The review of the southeastern Liberian counties in August found utter chaos and a full breakdown in the medical system, which has contributed to the spread of Ebola. It also found that locals didn’t know how to identify Ebola, even though the virus was dominating other areas of the country. “No Ebola surveillance systems were in place.”

Popular Muslim Media Member & Ferguson Activist is a Convicted Child Molester

 

This might only be a shock to those who believe the lies they are sold in the media. If you watch any of the alphabet news networks regularly you might believe that there really is such a thing as a moderate Muslim. If you listen to Barack “The Occidental Accident” Obama you might believe that there is nothing Islamic about ISIL.

Many probably don’t realize that taking pre-pubescent girls is a right of Muslim men as laid out by the prophet himself. Mohamed took Aisha to be his wife at the tender age of 6 and consummated the marriage when she was only nine. Sick? That is the teaching. To insult that way is to insult the prophet.

A lot of things that we call crimes in America follow the teachings of Islam.

Teen Killed In Shootout, Used Gun Posted In Social Media, To Shoot At St. Louis Cop

Perhaps someone should have told Vonderrit Myers Jr., “hands up, don’t shoot.”

The teenager became the most recent focus of protester fury in the St. Louis area when the teen was killed after allegedly opening fire on a police officer.

His family claims that he was unarmed, and that he only had a sandwich in his hands. A community already on edge after the Michael Brown shooting and riots in nearby Ferguson believed the family, which wasn’t near the scene when the shooting occurred.

Tackled, duct-taped, choked, and threatened with death in his own home - but he fought back.

 Victim Turned Hero: Assaulted and taped, he still managed to shoot two bad guys.

Two men in masks reportedly invaded a home in Katy, Texas, assaulted and restrained the two male occupants, and threatened one with death.

And then he shot them.

The victim, who wishes to remain anonymous, was in his bedroom when his world was suddenly turned upside-down.

“Two masked men busted in the door, jumped on top of me, put their hands over my mouth, duct taped my wrists, duct taped my ankles, then flipped me over on my stomach, put me in a headlock, tried to choke me out. I faked fainting, and played dead.”

The bad guys went about ransacking the house as he lay there. In another room, his friend’s son was also restrained.

“I looked up once, fifteen minutes into it, and the guy said ‘if you look up again, we’ll kill ya.’”

The jerks tried to get into his gun safe, and failed. Then they left the room, and he quickly got his gun and waited.

MN hunter survives brutal bear attack

 

It hit him like a linebacker and threw him on the ground.

That's how a hunter narrowly escaping a 525 pound black bear described the horror when a wounded bear attacked his friend in a dense swamp area near Duxbury, Minnesota early Saturday morning.

"You go into the woods, not thinking this will ever happen, legally and humanely go after a bear you shot, and it turned bad," said Craig Lindstrom, of Wyoming, Minnesota.

Lindstrom said he and several longtime hunting buddies shot a black bear with a bow and arrow Friday evening, and then waited four hours to track it several miles from their hunting camp. Because of the warm temperatures, Lindstrom and two others decided to find the bear around 11:30 p.m., worrying the meat would spoil overnight. They began to follow a blood trail in the darkness and within a half hour, they found the bear laying on the ground. It suddenly charged.

"And that's when they yelled it's big and it's coming your way. All of the sudden I heard him screaming -- felt like 10 minutes, but was probably two minutes -- literally screaming, screaming and you knew he was being mauled," said Lindstrom.

NC: Walter Jones requests formal investigation of General Jim Amos

Via LH

 

........one member of the House Armed Services Committee is calling for a formal Pentagon investigation. The request was made by Congressman Walter Jones, a Republican whose district in eastern North Carolina includes three Marine Corps installations. When Jones’ staff inquired with Marine Corps headquarters Friday, Marine officials responded with an email stating Amos did not attend TBS.

“As discussed, [Office of Legislative Affairs] informed me that Gen. Amos did not attend the Basic School in that he was an inter-service transfer from the Navy,” the email says. In follow-up conversations, Marine officials corrected that to say Amos completed TBS through a correspondence course in February 1977, but provided the congressman no documentation. Amos left the service one year later and served as a commercial airline pilot for Braniff Airlines until 1982.

Jones took issue with the fact that the official resume presented to Congress states Amos attended TBS in 1972.

“You just should not achieve a position based on falsehood,” Jones said. “When you are going before a [congressional] committee seeking the nomination for the highest position in the United States Marine Corps, you know that he read the information many times before he would sign it.”

Understanding the Middle East Crisis: Resurgent Islamic Fundamentalism

 

Part 1 of a Series

Mike Scruggs

There is a polite myth, popular with Western politicians, liberal academics, and many media pundits that Islam is inherently peaceful. This profound misunderstanding of Islam could not be further from the teachings of the Koran and Muhammad, and it is frequently used to deceive non-Muslims. Yet the myth has been sustained because of Western European and American dependence on Arab oil, the prevailing fashion of post-Christian multiculturalism, and an understandable need for diplomacy in dealing with scores of Muslim nations. Nonetheless, it is a very dangerous myth. It masks a reality that poses a substantial threat to U.S. security and the very survival of Western Europe.

Despite the phrase “In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful” introducing 113 out of 114 chapters of the Koran, Islam as defined by its most sacred doctrinal literature, is certifiably not a religion of peace and tolerance. The chronologically earliest chapters of the Koran written in Mecca contain many peaceful verses, but they contradict coercive and violent verses in its chronologically later chapters written in Medina. Islam solves these contradictions with the “Rule of Abrogation.” Early verses contradicted by later verses are abrogated or voided as to practical significance. Unfortunately, the peaceful and tolerant verses in the early chapters of the Koran are nullified by this Islamic doctrine of interpretation. What is left is a religion committed to coercion, violence, and deception in order to advance its theological, ideological, legal, moral, and political dominance over all peoples and nations. . 

The God of Judeo-Christian Scripture does not change, but Allah changes his mind. Sometimes Muhammad’s revelation of these changes seem rather expedient, as when in Chapter 33:37, Muhammad is allowed to take his adopted son’s attractive young wife.

It is polite and popular to call the coercive, violent, and deceptive aspects of Islam “radical Islam.” But radical Islam is the real Islam, and its “radical” doctrines are the fundamental doctrines that have always dominated Islam. Islam is what the Koran and the teachings of Muhammad say it is—not what humanistic Western political and cultural leaders wish it to be.

Islam has declared us their enemies, and their ways are not gentle.

In the nearly 1400 years since Islam’s birth, its true fundamental nature has not always prevailed in the governing of Muslim nations. Muslim rulers and their supporting military and commercial classes have often been quite secularized in their worldviews. The fundamentals of Islam are deeply imbedded in the Koran and the teachings of Muhammad and can only be changed by Allah’s decree, but the application and influence of those fundamentals have waxed and waned with the winds of political, economic, and cultural change.

We are now living in a period of fundamentalist resurgence within Islam, and the violent and imperialistic ideology of Jihad is once more spreading like a raging fire in the Middle East and Muslim immigrant strongholds in the West. In the Koran and the teachings of Muhammad, Jihad can sometimes mean peaceful inner struggle, but it almost always entails violent war against all who will not submit to Islam. History and current events provide ample evidence that conquest, terror, coercion, and suppression have been the leading tools for advancing Muslim faith and law.  But rather than simply asserting that Jihad and the spreading of Islam by the sword is fundamental to the Koran, let us look at just eight verses of the Koran itself.

4:70 “Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject faith fight in the cause of evil; so fight ye against the friends of Satan; feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan.”

4:95 “…Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than those who sit at home.”

8: 12 “I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers; smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger tips off them.”

8:39 “And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do.”

9: 5 “But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem; but if they repent (accept Islam) and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity then open the way for them; for God is oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.”

9: 29 “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the last day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and his apostle, nor acknowledge the religion of truth even if they are the people of the book (Christians and Jews), until they pay the Jizya (special tax on unbelievers) with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”

9:123  “O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty unto Him.”

48:20 “Allah promises you much war booty that you will capture from the defeated infidels.”

There are over 100 verses in the Koran  linked to Holy War against all who resist Islam. There are many more in the Hadiths.

One of the strategies of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States is “Civilization Jihad.”

Civilization Jihad is simply conquering by immigration. Yet we have all but abandoned immigration enforcement on our borders and within our borders. Nearly two decades of multiculturalist indoctrination and misguided political encouragement have helped build a significant Fifth Column of financial, political, and potentially Jihadist threat to national security.

We had better get smart and tough-minded soon, or we will face dreadful consequences.

Headless bodies left in streets as ISIS ravages Syrian town

 Headless bodies left in streets as ISIS ravages Syrian town


There are “tens, maybe hundreds” of headless bodies lying in the bloody streets of a besieged Syrian border town — left to rot by ISIS savages to terrorize Kurdish fighters and residents, according to a new report.

“I have seen tens, maybe hundreds, of bodies with their heads cut off. Others with just their hands or legs missing. I have seen faces with their eyes or tongues cut out — I can never forget it for as long as I live,” Amin Fajar, a 38-year-old father of four, told the Daily Mail about the incredible scene in Kobani.

“They put the heads on display to scare us all.”

Another resident, 13-year-old Dillyar, watched as his cousin Mohammed, 20, was captured and beheaded by the black-clad jihadis as the pair tried to flee the battle-scarred town.

“They pushed him to the ground and sawed his head off, shouting, ‘Allahu Akbar,’ ” the boy said. “I see it in my dreams every night and every morning I wake up and remember everything.”

Disturbing mystery affecting your favorite news sites


alexa

“What’s happening at Alexa.com is shocking and demands a public response from Amazon.com, which owns the company,” Farah said. “Over the 17 years WND has been around, we’ve seen this kind of thing before. It smacks, at first glance, like a deliberate effort to destroy and discredit alternative news sites – especially those that don’t grovel at the feet of government and seek to be the watchdogs the American press are supposed to be.”

Those who run watchdog news websites are scratching their heads and trying to make sense of the latest data released by a California company that measures website traffic.

According to data for July through September, almost every major website – from WND to the Drudge Report and Breitbart – saw its rankings drop on Alexa.com while pro-government sites mostly went up.

Alexa Internet Inc. is a subsidiary of Amazon.

Familiar names in alternative media like the Drudge Report, Breitbart, Infowars, the Blaze, Newsmax, WND, FoxNews.com, and the Daily Caller all saw their rankings plummet while sites such as NPR.org, the Daily Kos, Democracy Now!, Media Matters and ThinkProgress all rose in the rankings.

  • It's composed of many groups held together by a simple set of rules (minimal vs. the maximum rule sets we see in nations).    
  • It's fluid.  It redily finds good use of new technologies and uses social media to good effect.

AP Courses Rewrite American History

Via Cousin John

washington crossing delaware

As students head back to high school this fall, they and their parents will quickly discover that much of traditional American history taught in Advanced Placement (AP) courses for college credit is being rewritten with a distinctive left-leaning bias.

The organization behind these changes is the College Board, the same organization that annually administers the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) to soon-to-be college freshmen. The College Board is led by David Coleman, the architect behind the controversial and much-criticized Common Core Standards.

It appears Coleman’s group hopes to change AP history in many of the same ways it changed math and English standards under Common Core: overhaul the standards, reduce quantity and place an emphasis on thinking skills. The new history standards will be in classrooms beginning this fall.

However, the pushback has already started. About 400,000 students take AP History exams annually.

While it’s true the AP exam is optional, the exam’s widespread use and its importance to college admissions will essentially force all high schools – public and private – to change the way history is taught.
