US-EU Privacy Shield Data-Sharing Agreement Blasted as Inadequate




Privacy campaigners have given an angry thumbs down anger to the newly published "Privacy Shield" agreement on data privacy betwen the USA and European Union. The Privacy Shield agreement which covers the privacy of data related to EU citizens held on US servers by multinational companies has been under negotiation for months ever since the because the European Court of Justice ruled in October 2015 that the previous EU-US data agreement — Safe Harbor — was invalid.

 The issue arises from the strict EU laws — enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union — to the privacy of citizens personal data. As we all know thanks to the material leaked by Ed Snowden and others the United States National Security Agency (NSA) does not regard anything as private, and in collaboration with internet and technology giants like Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook and Verizon (just a small selection there) have been exploiting specially created software 'postern gates' to plunder data from users computers.

 Safe Harbor was a quasi-judicial understanding that the US government would ensure that EU citizens' data on US servers would be held and protected under the same restrictions as it would be under EU law and directives. The data covers a huge array of information — from Internet and communications usage, to sales transactions, import and exports.

When Maximillian Schrems, a Facebook user, filed a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner, arguing that "in the light of the revelations by ex-CIA contractor Edward Snowden of mass surveillance by the US National Security Agency (NSA)" the transfer of data from Facebook's Irish subsidiary onto the company's servers in the US do not provide sufficient protection of his personal data.

The court ruled that "the Safe Harbor Decision denies the national supervisory authorities their powers where a person calls into question whether the decision is compatible with the protection of the privacy and of the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals."

In a swift reaction to the publication of the new data privacy protocol, Schrems said:

"The new deal does not even address the matter of private sector data misuse, despite the fact that there would have been much more leeway than in the government sector.  There are tiny improvements, but the core rules on private data usage are miles away for EU law. This is nowhere close to 'essential equivalence' that the Court required."

"Basically the US openly confirms that it violates EU fundamental rights in at least six cases. The Commission claims that there is no 'mass surveillance' anymore.  It used to be the other way around. This charade is not only bluntly in conflict with the law and the Court judgement but also with the documents the Commission presented".

Anna Fielder, chair of Privacy International said:
"It's still a half-baked agreement. The [proposed] ombudsman is based in the US equivalent of the Foreign Office. We don't know what kind of independence it will have. The [European Court of Justice in its October ruling] demanded an independent authority and this is scarcely independent. How do I know that my data has been abused?"

It is typical of the United states government of course to break deals,  violate legally binding agreements and stab its allies in the back. The current US President is a wannabe God - King who reularly wipes his arse on his counry's consitiution, so how can we expevt civil servants to act any differently.

German Politician Predicts White Germans Will Be A Minority. Faces Calls to Quit.

by Arthur Foxake

Erica Steinbach: Does her self hatred arise from the fact she's so sexually repellent the Muslim rape squad visited her street and did not kick her door down. (Image Source)

I can understand that the hand wringing, breast beating, emotionally needy, brain dead twunts who are constantly screaming and shouting about "Yooman rights" have the sale level of intelligence as a housebrick, but it's still hard to swallow the fact that these idiots believe human rights are something only non Europeans, gays, lesbians. retards and selected religious nuts (but not Christians), should have, and that when a person who self - identifies as a member of one of these moronities a demand something, then it must be treated as an 'inalieable' human right.


It is entirely consistent with this view then that I am fully behind the sensible Germans calling for the resignation of the
stupid, ugly, addle brain cowBundestag member who is gleefully predicting white Germans will be a minority in twenty years.  That the genocide of ethnic Germans is high on this blonde German woman's wish list only demonstrates how profoundly stupid left wing ideology makes people. Worse, she is so ignorant as to believe that people from various parts of Africa, Asia, India and Pakistan, the middle east and the orient are of one race. Actucally the stupid bitch probably thinks 'black' is a race. I know quite a lot of British lefties that do.
Erika Steinbach, human rights spokesperson for Angela Merkel's CDU party, has been criticized after she posted a picture that appears to predict that in 14 years' time, white people will be in a minority in Germany.

German politician Steinbach, who is human rights spokesperson for the Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, faces criticism after she tweeted a picture with the caption 'Germany 2030' that depicts a crowd of dark-skinned people curiously asking a single white child where she is from.

One of the most gobsmackingly idiotic tendencies of the politically correct left is their facility for deceiving themselves that various African tribal minorities, Arab and Indian subcontenent migrants on arriving in Germany will suddenly find that after dedication themselves to killing and enslaving each other ever since men first stood erect, they can live together in peace and harmony.

Well I did tell you these FAOs (female anterior orifice - people tell me the colloquial term is offensive) are stupid. I mean, how fucking abjectly brainless do you have to be to campaign for the extinction of your own race?

Migrants Riot And Use BATTERING RAM To Smash Through E U Border Checkpoint




 Migrants try to smash through border post between Greece and Macedonia (YouTube)

Migrants, mostly Muslims from the Middle East, who, as we reported yesterday, have massed at the border between Greece, their point of arrival on European soil, and Macedonia, a small E U  country through which they must pass to continue their journey to the welfare handout promised lands of northern Europe, have earlier today used a home-made battering ram in an attempt to force their way through a border control point between greece and Macedonia. They also threw rocks at police, who retaliated with tear gas.

The migrants destroyed a gate on the border but Macedonian military personnel were on hand and it is not clear if any rioters actually managed to get through the broken gate. Today’s events signal an escalation of the violence that has become the trade mark of these people, who are not needy refugees or political asylum seekers fleeing persecution but economic migrants . The disturbances, which began yesterday, when migrants held a demonstration, blocking railway lines whilst shouting “open the border”, which demonstrates the sense of entitlement instilled into these people by left wing propaganda that tells them they are needed and will be welcomed in Europe..

Macedonia began to close off its border with Greece in January of this year, as the number of migrants entering from Turkey continued to grow, far outstripping the million plus seen last year. According to Reuters, another 110,000 have arrived this year, mostly from Turkey via Greece.

Around 6,500 have built up on the Greek side since the Macedonian authorities said they would only allow Syrians and Iraqis through last week, blocking the passage of those from Afghanistan, North Africa and elsewhere.

Macedonia is just one of several Balkan countries to have erected fences in an attempt to reduce the influx of migrants. There has been a so-called domino effect, as countries including Germany, Sweden, Austria and Hungary have all partially or completely closed off their borders.

Alexis Tsipras, the Greek Prime Minister, has threatened to block EU legislation, including David Cameron’s “reform deal”, unless other member states accept more migrants.

“We will not accept turning the country into a permanent warehouse of souls with Europe continuing to function as if nothing is happening”, he said last week, adding: “Greece will not agree to deals (in the EU) if a mandatory allocation of burdens and responsibilities among member countries is not secured.”
Tsipras also withdrew the Greek ambassador from Vienna in protest at the lack of support being offered by other nations during the migrant crisis. Austria is now accepting only 80 migrants a day.

If EU leaders cannot agree that travellers arriving at the EU's external borders without passports or any travel documents must eith be turned away or housed in special camps, if EU 'human rights' rules prevent member states from rounding up illegal immigrants and deprting them, if Hausfrau - Voksfuhrer wo instigated the migrant crisis as part of a stratedy for German domination of Europe cannot be persuaded she is wrong and is destroying the EU, then the community of nations will disintegrate.

Britain should leave before that happens. Multiculturalism has failed. Globalism is just another term for Corporate Naziism.

Migrants Mass At Greek Border Waiting To Cross Into Europe



And you though the prospect of Britain leaving was the biggest problem facing the European Union at the moment?

In spite of having run for over a year so far, the migrant crisis is still getting bigger. Here's news on the latest development.

An estimated 6,500 undocumented travellers (i.e. no passports, no ID, no visas etc.) were assembled at the Idomeni camp on Greece’s northern border with Macedonia on Saturday according to news feeds, after four Balkan countries announced a daily cap on migrant arrivals.

The log jam began after Macedonia began refusing entry to Afghans and imposed stricter document controls on Syrians and Iraqis, slowing the passage of migrants and refugees to a trickle.

The situation now looks set to worsen significantly after EU members Slovenia and Croatia,and Macedonia, as well as Serbia, a non EU nation which has allowed migrants free passage through its territory but no refugee of asylum seeker status, said they would limit the number of migrants entering each day to 580.

The tighter controls have left thousands stranded in Greece, as the bloc’s worst migration crisis since World War II shows no sign of abating.

Macedonian authorities opened the Idomeni border crossing on Saturday afternoon and dozens of migrants were allowed to pass through, with local Greek police sources saying 300 were expected to cross the frontier by the end of the day.

More than 20,000 refugees and other migrants are currently on Greek soil, according to the office of migration minister Yiannis Mouzalas.

Friday’s announcement by four Balkan states came a week after Austria said it would only allow 80 people to claim asylum per day, and also pledged to limit the daily number of people passing through the country to 3,200. Hungary, another nation with a common border with Serbia, closed its borders several months ago.

The latest move has sparked a bitter spat between Athens and Vienna, with Greece fearful it would trigger a domino effect, leaving thousands stranded on its territory as migrants continue to land on its beaches from Turkey.

Austria accuses Greece of deliberately not policing its borders properly and allowing migrants to continue their journey towards northern Europe as a way of passing on the problem of dealing with the lawless, illiterate insurgents to other EU nations.

“Europe can’t be indifferent to those of our partners who don’t respect their obligations,” Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos said of the border restrictions on Saturday.

Last week, the EU told Austria that limiting asylum claims was “plainly incompatible” with European and international law.

If you think that is bad, there is an even bigger problem going to hit the EU in early summer as the Italian banking system goes belly up. You heard it here first ...

USA, EU and Turkey are not going to like this Greece /Russia deal



It is common knowledge that Greece is on the way out of the EU. Though the bureaucrats of Brussels, increasingly paranoid about EU member states that challenge their authority will try to bully Greece into staying, the Greeks have a new best mate in Russia. It is logical therefore that as Turkey's increasingly unstable Prsident Erdogan continues to provoke Russia in any way he can, Members of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Greek administrative region of Evros are floating proposals of trade ties with Russia and could offer their port city Alexandroupolis as an alternative route for Russian cargo to bypass the Bsophorous and Dardinelles, the narro straits that are the only route to the Mediterranean Sea from Russia's posts on The Black Sea.

“We could work together in different areas, taking into account that the city is home to one of the largest ports that allows to bypass Bosphorus and the Dardanelles,” Evangelos Lambakis, the mayor of Alexandroupoli, told the press. Alexandroupoli is the capital city of the Evros regional unit.

Professor Valentin Katasonov believes that this initiative could grow into a larger partnership, since Turkey severely damaged relations with Russia not just by downing a Russian bomber over Syria but because of its illegal oil trade and arms trafficking with ISIS.

“We indeed need access to the Mediterranean Sea bypassing Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, [the narrow straits that separate mainland Turkey from the Turkish enclave in Europe in which Istanbul is situated.] There is another alternative – a channel through Iran. This project, first conceived approximately a century ago, is now also on the agenda,” Katasonov said.

Russia has always feared, should hostilities break out with Turkey, the Turks would simply scupper ships in the Bosphorus and Dardinelles, blocking Russia's main trade routes.

Although Greece’s offer could help Russia bolster the security of its shipments, not all risks will be eliminated.“Not all transit countries are friendly towards Russia. We need to take into account risks that our land transportation could face. Land shipping does not require massive investment, so this is a viable option,” he added.Should Evros proceed with this initiative, it will have to abide by this commitment due to the tough economic environment Greece is dealing with, Katasonov emphasized.

NATO and the West will not be happy with the move. However, there is no alternative for Greece. Last summer the Greek government inked three-year deals with the IMF and the European Union, but the situation will heat up in mid-2016 (as I told you in another post, a major banking crisis is expected in Italy before the end of June. The issues that were discussed in 2015, like Grexit, will resurface.

EU Enlargement Commissioner Accuses Russia Of Flooding Europe With Migrants



The place where Finland, Norway and Russia meet, note the swarms of refugees crossing from Russia into Europe (image source)

Did you know the EU had an Englargement Commissioner, in fact do most Europeans know the EU has massive plans to enlarge Europe into Africa and the middle east. More on that down the page, but I'm sure it will come as a surpise to this blog's French, German and Polish regular readers and the visitors we get less regularly from all around the EU, just as it will to our loyal following in Russia, British readers and many of our American friends who like to follow the breakdown of civilization as it is progressing all around the globe..

We have learned that The European Union’s (EU) Enlargement Commissioner has claimed Russia is working to destabilize the continent by flooding it with migrants from Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. This suggests the Englargement Commissioner is one of those nutty bureaucrats who has been busy trying to  think of ways to demonize Russia in the hope of eroding EU members opposition to the all out war the USA, Turkey and Saudi Arabia have been pushing for, and this is the best he could come up with.

Speaking in an interview with Germany’s Zeit, EU Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn articulated his view that it was “no coincidence” that refugees were suddenly appearing on Europe’s northern borders from the Russian Federation, and hinted at a hidden plan to destroy Europe.

Mr. Hahn, who has the responsibility of extending the Europeann Union into the middle east, Africa and central Asia  (what could be considered the Russian sphere of influence,) told a pres conferences: “We have observed in northern Europe a new phenomenon. More and more refugees [are coming] from Russia to Finland and Norway”.

Despite acknowledging the actual volume of refugees arriving from Russia was insignificant, Mr. Hahn said he suspected a conspiracy where refugees from central Asia were being used unwittingly to further political goals. He explained: “The numbers are not so high. Disturbingly, however, are the political signals that stand behind it. It is no coincidence this happening now”.

This man truly has taken leave of his senses. Does he know how cold it gets at this time of year on Norway's bordr with Russia, which is waaayyy above the arctic circle.

Mr. Hahn said these particular refugees, Tajiks and Turkmens, had lived in Russia for many years but were suddenly being passed on now, and they had probably received assistance to make it to the Norwegian and Finnish borders. When asked by the paper whether he was indeed inferring that Russia was deliberately dumping migrants on Europe to exacerbate the migrant crisis, Mr. Hahn said “it is striking that this should happen just at the moment where the EU is already under severe pressure" (from the numbers of illrgal immigrants arriving)..

Despite Mr. Hahn’s claims, Norway is not a member of the European Union, even though it is of the Schengen free-travel zone. Russia however is not part of the open borders arrangement and is rather strict about who passes in and out of its territory. The entire notion is idiotic, particularly when EU bureaucrats refuse to condemn Turkey for flooding the EU with migrants while simultaneously trying to blackmail Brussels for cash in return for help in controlling the flow of immigrants.

Apparently pre-empting the EU commissioner’s comments, Russian ambassador to the European Union Vladimir Chizov spoke in an interview with Euractive and denied the suggestion that Russia wanted to see the EU weakened.

Responding to the accusation that Russia was clandestinely campaigning for Britain to leave the EU, and thus see the continental power bloc less potent he remarked: “No. I wonder why people think that Russia would want to destabilise the EU, or to break it up. That has never been the aim of Russian foreign policy.

While we do not entirely accept that Russia has no interest in the destabilizing effect of a British exit on the EU, there is no evidence to suggest that The Kremlin is pursuing a strategy aimed at encouraging a 'Leave' vote. The EU will do more than enough to encourage UK voters to vote out, the only danger is that the scaremongering of Cameron and his cronies will prompt the faint hearted to cling to the devil they know.

NATO Warships in the seas Odysseus Sailed Spell Trouble For EU

by Ian R Thorpe

Sorry about the cryptic headline, it's just my classical education manifesting itself.

The animosity between Greece and Turkey is at least as ancient as the history of Turkey itself. Greece was one of the oldest civilizations while Turkey has only existed as a nation since the disintegration of Byzantium, the eastern part of the Roman Empire. And there are plenty of reasons, mostly dating back through the almost 1000 year era during which the Ottoman Turks ruled Greece and The Balkans.

Having a strong sense of history, as befits such an ancient nation and culture, the Greeks think they deserve more respect for the times they were in the front line when the Ottoman Turks set off to conquer the whole of Europe.

There is even in this era of globalism and harmonisation (LOL) considerable animosity between Greece and Turkey, most recently centered on Cyprus, where — in 1974 — Turkey occupied a third of the island in response to an Athens-backed coup aimed at annexing Cyprus to Greece.

In spite of the fuckwitted determination of Brussels ruling bureaucracy to fast track Turkey into the EU, the Turks still refuse to acknowledge the Republic of Cyprus (an EU member since 2004) as the sole authority on the island, and recognizes the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus since its establishment in 1983.

This has been a major sticking point in the question of admitting Turkey into the EU as a full member. Another is a dispute over territorial sea limits between the two nations. Erdogan's position on the Kurds — as well as the continuing crises in neighboring Syria and Iraq are exacerbating the situation. Nobody is talking about Turkey's links to ISIS of course or its illegal oil trade with the terrorist group trying to establish an Islamic Caliphate in Syria and Iraq.

In an apparent effort to reduce the flow of migrants making their way from Turkey to Greece across the Aegean Sea, and because of the mistrust between the nations on either side of that body of water, pressure has been put on NATO (of which both Greece and Turkey are members)by the EU to deploy ships to the Aegean Sea, which has now put it on a collision course with both Athens and Ankara.

The ongoing dispute over territorial sea limits between the two nations is another problem, particularly with Turkey's lunatic President Erdogan's apparent eagerness to provoke a shooting war with Russia and his attacks on the Kurds in his own country, Syria and Iraq. The continuing crises in neighboring Syria and Iraq are exacerbating the situation. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg admits the deployment of warships in The Agean puts it at the center of a diplomatically sensitive situation. He told a press conference:


"Our ships will be providing information to the coastguards and other national authorities of Greece and Turkey. This will help them carry out their duties even more effectively to deal with the illegal trafficking networks," Stoltenberg said in a statement.

"We are also establishing direct links with Frontex, the European Union's border agency. We will conduct our activities in the Aegean Sea. Our commanders will decide the area where they will be operating, in coordination with Greece and Turkey. NATO vessels can deploy in the territorial waters of Greece and Turkey.

"Greek and Turkish forces will not operate in each others territorial waters and airspace. NATO's task is not to turn back the boats. We will provide critical information. To enable the Greek and Turkish coastguards, as well as Frontex, to do their job even more effectively."

The NATO operation will not involve turning back migrant boats or picking up those trying to enter Europe illegally;
Turkish vessels will not cross into Greek sea areas and Greece will not operate in Turkish waters. This could actually make the migrant crisis worse, with Greece and Turkey unable to act effectively outside their own territorial waters both are stymied. Illegal migrants respect no boundaries.

With Greece loudly complaining about a lack of EU assistance in dealing with its growing migrant problem — and the closing off of its northern borders — with little ability to actually patrol the whole Aegean Sea on its own, the situation for Athens is impossible. Turkey has come under severe criticism for failing to impose border controls under a US$3.35 billion EU program and has seemed unwilling — so far — to strengthen its land or sea military assets, it too looks likely to be unable to stem the maritime migrant flow. Erdogan is more intent on using the situation to blackmail the EU into stumping up yet more money in return for (so far worthless) promises of cooperation from the Turkish government.

FUKUS axis troops (France, UK, USA) Unable To Halt ISIS March Towards Libyan Oil



We expressed the opinion long ago (and at every opportunity since) that having been sponsored and mentored by NATO, Saudi Arabia and other Sunni Muslim Arab states, ISIS had become a monster that nobody could control (not that the Saudis and their Sunni allies wanted to control the terror group). A fighting force such as ISIS cannot be beaten by conventional warfare tactics, they are not a state or even a tribal grouping that has homeland territory to defend, nor are they a crusade with the goal of liberating an oppressed minority or liberating an occupied territory. They are an ideologically driven group and this gives them the advantage of geographic and organisational fluidity.

Unfortunately though all this has been common knowledge and the difficulties of beating a guerilla force have been documented since Boudicca gave Roman Legions the runaround until more tactically naive, testicularly driven allies persuaded her to face Rome's well organised standing army in conventional battle and the Roman phalanxes butchered the Britons, our leaders seem unable to learn from history.

Once Russia and Iran started to engage ISIS forces in Syria the terrorists did what irregulars should always do, they shifted the focus of their operation. While western media gleefully reported that 'thousands of ISIS fighters are deserting' under the rain or firecrackers Obama's air strikes were dropping on them (nothing to do with Russia's bombs or Iran's republican Guard of course), in fact the extremists were heading for Libya.

Our reports of US, French and British troops on the ground in have been online here for a while now, click the headlines below to find out who and where:

UK Troops Set To Join Forces From USA and France In Libya


1,000 British elite troops deployed to Libyan oil fields to ‘halt the advance of ISIS’


The latest news coming out of Tripoli is that The Islamic State (ISIS) force in Libya is taking on extra personnel faster than anyone can keep up with, some of these are raw recruits from north and sub Saharan Africa but many are experienced fighters (i.e, they know which end of a gun is dangerous) and is advancing towards Libya’s oil crescent, eyeing billions of barrels that lie under the country that was Africa's most prosperous and civilized nation until western intervention led by Barack Hussein Obama overthrew the local dictator and left in his place a failed state. Now three rival groups claiming to be the government.  Needless to say Libya is not in a position to protect its oilfields, even with the help of U.S. air strikes and British, French and US troops on the ground.

In mid-December, the United Nations brokered a power-sharing agreement between Libya’s rival factions, but there is no chance of implementing this, you can't broker deals between gangsters and terrorists and expect them to succeed. That means there is no chance of Libyan government halting the advance of ISIS.

Things are getting very messy there, U.S. air strikes will put only a small dent in a big problem and all in all it is starting to look like another Syria is brewing in the Sahara..

According to U.S. intelligence figures, there are an estimated 6,000 ISIS fighters now in Libya, headquartered in the town of Sirte, as Oilprice.com has reported in the past. From here, they control hundreds of miles of coastline. There is nothing in Sirte they want; this is simply a strategic base.

Other reports say the terrorists are centred on Benghazi. Hat Tip from ISIS to Hillary Clinton for allowing Islamic Extremists to neutralise the west's last toe hold in eastern Libya. It is not just oil that attacts ISIS to Libya of course. Having lost many men to Assad's fairly well organised military they must like the total lack of effective government. And the European migrant crisis of last year has established Libyan seaports as the embarcation point of choice for jihadists en route to Europe.  Another plus is a strong position in Libya opens the door to Africa via some of the weakest and most chaotic African states. Only third is to get their thieving mitts on more oil revenues to fill quickly depleting coffers in Syria and northern Iraq.

Guess Which Political Grouping Wants To Legalise Incest and Necrophilia?

Has the headline sunk in. Yes it says there are people out there who want to legalise incest (brother /sister or parent / child sex) and necrophila (sex with dead people). Puzzled about who would want to legalise such repugnant things? I'll give you a clue, they aren't conservatives, libertarians or nationalists.

Just when we though the left could not get any more sick, preverted or degenerate we learn that  last Sunday in Stockholm the youth wing of the Swedish Liberal party voted for the legalisation of incest between consenting siblings over the age of 15. They also voted for the legalisation of sex with dead bodies, provided the deceased had it in his will.


Swedish Youth: brainwashed by politically correct schoolteachers and university lecturers? (Image source)

These are the same people as have passed resolutions supporting the brutal rape by Muslim migrants of Swedish women because, "when an a refugee rapes a Swedish woman, Swedish racism is to blame." 

“We don’t like morality laws in general,” said Liberal Youth chairman, Cecilia Johnsson. “We are a youth wing and one of our tasks is to think one step further. She said she understood that incest and sex with the dead could be viewed as disgusting but that disgust cannot be the basis of legislation.

Senior party officials called their youth wing “idiots” and said others were “laughing at your idea of liberalism.”

 Swedish newspaper Aftonblatet reports:
Former Liberal MP and senior party member Carl B Hamilton lambasted the youth wing, calling them ‘nitwits’ and accusing them of putting publicity before politics.
‘Liberal Youth of Sweden focuses on publicity, rather than the issues that determines our, and Sweden’s future,’ he wrote on a Facebook group for Liberal party members.
I say to them, ‘Surely, you must understand people are laughing at your politically correct stupidity, you idiots?
‘And what other challenge facing society is on the top 100-list for Stockholm’s Liberal Youth? Legalising sex with hippos?’
A press spokesperson for the Liberals said on Monday the mother party does not back the youth wing, and wants both necrophilia and incest to remain illegal.
The vote came as Sweden, along with other European countries are awash in migrants, many of whom are committing sexual assaults on women. Boggart Abroad has reported over the past two years that Sweden, once the safest and most orderly nation in Europe is now Europe's 'rape capita' and is afficted by rapidly escalating crime rates as migrant gangs vie for supremacy in inner city ghettos. We have also reported on the rise of natinalist and anti EU parties parties and the decline of liberal and socialist parties around Europe.
I
It is not yet clear whether the incest/necrophilia lobby will help or hurt the liberal party but we will be watching opinion polls closely although we feel a microscope might be required to see the Liberal Party vote.

Leaked Transcripts Prove ISIS-Turkey Link



The flags of ISIS and Turkey ought to fly side by side, and the USA's Stars and Stripes should be up there too, so long as Obama remains in power (Image Source)

Turkey had been widely criticized for not doing enough to assist in the fight against ISIS. In fact, we have published here a lot of evidence (some of it sourced from The Dark Web but a lot publicly available) to suggest that Ankara was cooperating with the group by ensuring funds through illegal oil trades and acting as a conduit for US supplied weapons. Turkey's links with ISIS are so undeniable and well documented now, even mainstream media have had to start reporting this news, even though it is embarrassing for NATO and western governments

An official familiar with a large cache of intelligence seized in a raid last summer told the Guardian that “direct dealings between Turkish officials and ranking ISIS members was now ‘undeniable.’” and that "the ISIS official responsible for oil smuggling was well known to Turkey". Also a former ISIS fighter told Newsweek last year that Turkey was allowing ISIS oil trucks from Raqqa to cross the “border, through Turkey and then back across the border to attack Syrian Kurds in the city of Serekaniye in northern Syria in February.” ISIS members, the source said, would freely travel through Turkey in a convoy of trucks, and stop “at safehouses along the way.”

From last summer Turkey, under international pressure and with public opinion at home turning against the Erdogan regime, seemingly forgot about the previous complicity when Erdogan granted the US access to Incirlik from which Washington was henceforth allowed to fly its half hearted combat missions which eventually frustrated Russian leader Vladimir Putin so much he ordered a Russian intervention from Syria after President Assad asked his allies for help. That, combined with Erdogan’s promise to step up the war on “terror,” was supposed to be "proof" of Turkey’s commitment to defeating ISIS although in fast Turkey's primary objective, like that of its allies USA and Sadui Arabia is the removal of Assad in Syria.

Despite numerous reports to suggest that Turkey wasn’t striking ISIS at all, but rather simply targeting the PKK (Kurdish rebel group with whom Turkey has been at war for years), the mainstream media generally stuck to the script that said Ankara had officially joined the war on Islamic State.

And then, in November, Vladimir Putin pushed Turkey’s cozy relationship with ISIS back into the spotlight following Ankara’s move to down a Russian warplane near the Syrian border. Since then, the world has begun to question whose side the Turks are really on, especially in light of the evidence Moscow has presented linking Erdogan to Islamic State’s illicit oil trade.

Eyebrows were also raised when Erdogan jailed several generals who dared to inspect a weapons-laden MiT trucks crossing the border with Syria.

This week, we get the latest evidence that Turkey is Islamic State’s number one state sponsor as Cumhuriyet released transcripts of phone calls that allegedly took place between Turkish military officers and Mustafa Demir, the ISIS commander on the Syria-Turkey border.

The transcripts are part of a court case on ISIS at the Ankara 3rd High Criminal Court. “The issues alleged in the case came to light because of an investigation launched following information given by six Turkish citizens whose relatives joined ISIL,” Today’s Zaman reports. “Upon the application by the relatives, monitoring of the communications of 19 people started, and a prosecutor named Derda Gökmen reportedly filed a claim against 27 suspects.”
