An award-winning South African winemaker foresees a potential catastrophe as government steers the country from socialism to a communistic failed state. Josef Dreyer of Raka Wines addressed the developing land expropriation process and the danger South Africa faces if it further cripples private industry and entrepreneurs who are barely propping up a populace heavily dependent on tax dollars being contributed by a precious few. “We are one of the countries with a wide gap between the rich and the poor, where 13 percent of the South African population of 56 million people are the ones paying income taxes,” Dreyer said in his interview with RT. “Yes, 13 percent make the ...

THE SWISS CITY OF LAUSANNE HAS BLOCKED A MUSLIM COUPLE’S BID TO BECOME SWISS NATIONALS OVER THEIR REFUSAL TO SHAKE HANDS WITH MEMBERS OF THE OPPOSITE SEX. The municipality said it refused to grant the couple’s citizenship application over their lack of respect for gender equality, Lausanne mayor Gregoire Junod said. He said a municipal commission had questioned the couple several months ago to determine if they met the criteria for citizenship, but had determined in the ruling made public on Friday that they missed the mark on integration. They also “showed great difficulty in answering questions asked by people of the opposite sex,” He refused to divulge the ...

Pineiro)President Donald Trump is back on the stump, trumpeting his alleged triumphs since the 2016 election. Somehow, he never mentions Afghanistan. For years, Trump has denounced endless foreign wars, including Afghanistan. For example, he tweeted in 2012 that Afghanistan is “a complete waste. Time to come home!” Once in power, however, Trump filled top adviser and cabinet positions with generals and neocons who advocate permanent occupation of Afghanistan. He suddenly became ...
Syria - Pentagon Plants High ISIS Numbers To Justify Occupation

The U.S. aim in Syria is still 'regime change'. The Pentagon has made it clear that it wants to stay in the country even after the Islamic State vanished. A little propaganda trick is now used to create a justification for its continuing occupation. The report by the UN Security Council's Sanctions Monitoring Team on ISIS, in parts discussed here, includes a number that smells of bullshit and manipulation: 3. Some Member States estimate the total current ISIL membership in Iraq and the Syrian Arab Republic to be between 20,000 and 30,000 individuals, roughly equally distributed between the two countries. Among these is still a significant component of the many thousands of ...

HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuba’s government said it provided free internet to the Communist-run island’s more than 5 million cellphone users on Tuesday, in an eight-hour test before it launches sales of the service. Cuba is one of the Western Hemisphere’s l east connected countries. State-run telecommunications monopoly ETECSA announced the trial, with Tuesday marking the first time internet services were available nationwide. There are hundreds of WiFi hotspots in Cuba but virtually no home penetration. Dissident blogger Yoani Sanchez, considered the country’s social media pioneer, raved that she had directly sent a tweet from her mobile. In another tweet, she called the test ...
SWEDEN IS BURNING: MIGRANT GANGS UNLEASH COORDINATED FIRE-BOMB RAMPAGE ACROSS MULTIPLE CITIES

Many Swedes were horrified in early 2017 when U.S. President Donald Trump linked immigration to rising crime in Sweden, but an increasing number now agree with him. Amid soaring crime rates, gang violence, complaints about education, and pregnant mothers even being turned away from maternity wards due to a lack of capacity, resentment in Sweden has built over the influx of more than 600,000 immigrants over the past five years. And tonight is one of the worst night for violence in recent history as police report multiple gangs of masked youths rampaging across three major Swedish cities, setting cars on fire in what seems like a coordinated action. - An estimated 15 cars alleged to have ...
Government’s Own Report Shows Tax Dollars Spent in Afghanistan Have Boosted Opium Production

As the longest war in United States history approaches yet another anniversary, the U.S. is being forced to admit that after pouring billions of dollars into “counternarcotics efforts” in Afghanistan, the result has been an overwhelming increase in opium production. The recent report from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) reveals that U.S. taxpayers spent $8.62 billion in Afghanistan between 2002 and 2017—solely on combatting poppy cultivation and drug production. The result was an absolute failure, and the report confirmed that “Afghanistan remains the world’s largest opium producer, and opium poppy is the country’s largest ...

The Internet is full of information, some of it not well researched or considered, but every now and then a star appears on the horizon. To my mind the new star is Yaacov Apelbaum, who, using his considerable technical skills, has produced a masterpiece of well-documented analysis underscoring the nonsensical and partisan nature of the Mueller operation. He compares this effort by the anti-Trumpers to the plot line of the Dreyfus affair, where falsified evidence and suppressed evidence led to Captain Alfred Dreyfus’s conviction for treason. It’s lengthy and detailed and on a lovely Sunday in summer you may not want to study it completely, but if this subject is of interest to ...

A large gang of more than 100 Africans attacked the suburb of Taylor’s Hill in Melbourne, Australia, throwing rocks, smashing a police car and fighting with law enforcement officials in the latest outbreak of nonwhite violence to sweep that city since large-scale Third World “refugees” were allowed into that country.According to a report in Australia’s The Age newspaper, “terrified residents” watched as the African gang gathered at a basketball court and complex in the suburb.“Residents were told to stay inside, lock the doors, and also to park their cars off the road and in their garages if possible,” the report said.A police spokesman said: “A ...

The legendary, pre-historic “great flood of China,” which was said to have lasted several generations. The flooded area to the east is roughly what is now called the North China Plain, one of two Chinese breadbaskets. Chinese civilization starts from this region. The smaller flooded area on this map is in the Sichuan Basin, China’s other major growing region. (The circled area is thought to be the territory of China’s first dynasty, the Xia, said to have rule there starting about 2200 BC.) Image credit: SY – Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, link.

War Is A Racket: After 17 Years And Billions Wasted, US Seeks Peace With Taliban

Afghanistan, long acknowledged to be America's "forgotten war", has finally returned to the news of late. But this time, in a shocking twist on the now 17-year long conflict, the US is negotiating with the Taliban. Perhaps this is why the mainstream media has by and large not given this bombshell story the coverage it deserves? Or do the major networks feel the American public has long ago stopped paying attention and will therefore yawn at any headlines containing the words 'US Troops/Afghanistan'?As Daniel McAdams explains, last week US State Department officials met with Taliban leaders in Qatar. At the request of the Taliban, the US-backed Afghan ...
Spanish Official Denies Mass Migration, Yet Claims Europe Needs “New Blood”

Spain’s Foreign Minister denied his country was experiencing “mass” migration while adding that Europe needed “new blood.” The leftist official, Josep Borrell, issued the rationale that his nation’s low birthrate is the reason for ushering in migrants by using the euphemism “demographic evolution." "Europe's demographic evolution shows that unless we want to gradually turn into an aging continent, we need new blood, and it doesn't look like this new blood is coming from our capacity to procreate,” said Borrell. Borrell also argued that the recent influx of migrants doesn’t actually constitute a “mass” descriptor by ...

A clever Cannuck took advantage of the insanity of the left’s gender nonconformity beliefs to save a bundle on car insurance. With his eye on a new Chevrolet Cruze, the Alberta man, identified only as “David,” told CBC News that he was given an insurance quote of $4,500 Canadian dollars for the new ride, but said he was told his annual bill would be about $1,100 cheaper if he was a woman. So, presto! He became a woman. “I was pretty angry about that and I didn’t feel like getting screwed over any more,” the man said. What happened next highlights how liberal laws are north of the border, as seen in a Fox News debate on a law that allows the ...
‘National Disgrace’ — UK Home Office Rejects Syrian Christians, Refugee Intake 100 Percent Muslim

When it comes to taking in refugees from different nationalities and religions, the U.K.’s Home Office has been a little bit tipsy on the side of pro-Islam, accepting 100 percent of Muslim applicants and zero — that’s right, zero — of Christians. This is despite the fact the European Union has recognized the persecution of Christians by Muslims in Syria. And for a quick glance at the other top places around the world where Christians are persecuted, take a look at this video: The U.K. statistics were obtained by the Barnabas Fund, an organization that tracks the persecution of Christians around the world.

JERUSALEM (AFP) - An Israeli court on Tuesday sentenced an Arab woman to five months in prison for incitement to violence and support for a terrorist organisation in poems and other social media posts, the justice ministry said. Dareen Tatour, 36 and an Israeli citizen, posted a video clip of herself reading her poem "Resist, my people, resist them," in October 2015, accompanied by pictures of clashes between Palestinians and Israeli forces, according to authorities. The posts on YouTube and Facebook came as a wave of Israeli-Palestinian violence was erupting, including Palestinian knife attacks. She was convicted in May and sentenced in the Nazareth district court. Her lawyer ...

A German cleaning lady received a fine of 1,650 euros for criticising refugees and the country’s asylum policy, news outlet Wochenblick reports. The woman commit her ‘Orwellian thought crime’ on Facebook, as she said this about refugees: “Sh*t on the state, steal from people, rape, swirling the eggs, demand money from us and sue the state. That’s what they can. They’re more valuable than gold, our super-skilled people.” The cleaning lady’s plea for help to the German judiciary was not heard. On the contrary, the district court of Dachau fined the cleaning woman because of “sedition” (§ 130 StGB). She was given a 1,650 euro fine, as ...

Finally, a journalist for a mainstream UK media outlet is methodically tracking weapons shipment serial numbers and English-language paperwork recovered from al-Qaeda groups in Syria, and he's literally showing up at arms factories and questioning arms dealers, including officials at the Saudi Embassy in London, asking: why are your weapons in the hands of terrorists? Veteran Middle East war correspondent Robert Fisk recently published a bombshell report entitled, I traced missile casings in Syria back to their original sellers, so it’s time for the west to reveal who they sell arms to.

‘Their big goal to transform Europe, to ship it into a post-Christian era, into an era when nations disappear,’ he says Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban doubled down on his criticism of the European Union’s handling of immigration in an annual speech Saturday, predicting a shift toward illiberal “Christian democracy” in the 2019 European Parliament. Orban, a member of the conservative nationalist and populist Fidesz party, has been a vocal leader among other EU nations who are similarly rejecting the EU’s attempts to be more lenient on migration and asylum seekers specifically. “Their big goal to transform Europe, to ship it into a post-Christian ...

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday he had invited Donald Trump to Moscow and that both he and the U.S. president want further summits, despite the uproar in Washington after the two leaders met in Helsinki last week. Following the backlash in the United States over Trump's cordial public tone with Putin at the Helsinki summit, U.S. and Russian officials backed away from a proposal to schedule a follow-up summit in Washington. But speaking to reporters in South Africa, where he was attending a summit of BRICS nations, Putin said another meeting with Trump was still on the agenda. "Regarding our meetings, I understand very well what ...

Canada is light years ahead of us when it comes to being cool about marijuana. First, the entire country legalized the stuff for recreational use, making it only the second nation in the world to do so. Then, it announced measures to make marijuana edibles legal down the road, hopefully by 2019. Now, Canadians will likely be the first to enjoy cannabis beer. Related Stories Canada Just Legalized Marijuana for All Canadians Colorado Is Getting THC Beer The Guardian reports that since marijuana legalization became official for our northern neighbors, brewers are getting serious about making beers with cannabis.

Good things come in threes, what's next The apparent goodwill between the EU and the US emerging from the Juncker-Trump talks was quite unexpected. At risk, trade in autos between the two economies, and probably an escalation of retaliatory tariffs from the EU. Nice words yesterday, but then we have been here before. Trade talks with China looked to be proceeding nicely, with Chinese markets opened and tariffs cut, only for the US to slap on tariffs anyway, I'll believe it when I see it, but markets are far more trusting than me, and will take comfort on all of this today and probably into the weekend. There is also good news out of China, where a more relaxed PBoC on ...
Europe to Become ‘Massive’ Buyer of U.S. LNG, Trump Says

Europe will build more terminals to import U.S. liquefied natural gas, the head of the European Commission told U.S. President Donald Trump during a meeting aimed at averting a transatlantic trade war.“They want very much to do that, and we have plenty of it,” Trump said, referring to the U.S. shale boom, which has unleashed record supplies of the heating and power-plant fuel. “They will be a massive buyer, and they will be able to diversify their energy supply.”The comments were part of a bigger agreement in which Trump and Jean-Claude Juncker, the European Commission president, said they would suspend new tariffs while negotiating over trade.

Army Colonel Warns False Flag ‘Gulf of Tonkin Incident’ May Be Used to Get US Into War with Iran

Often, the American mainstream media becomes a de facto government employee, taking the claims of U.S. officials and reporting them as proven fact — and nothing exemplifies this penchant better than reporting on the Gulf of Tonkin incident — perhaps one of most flagrant lies ever dreamed up as a justification for war. On August 5, 1964, the New York Times reported “President Johnson has ordered retaliatory action against gunboats and ‘certain supporting facilities in North Vietnam’ after renewed attacks against American destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin.” Additional outlets, such as the Washington Post, echoed this claim. But it wasn’t true. At all. In ...
