LAST NIGHT IN SWEDEN
SWEDEN ROUNDUP: THREE VIOLENT RAPES IN ONE WEEK
Posted on February 28, 2017 15:00

Another brutal sex attack occurred in Sweden, this time in the city of Gothenburg, where two men raped a young woman in a car last weekend. Passers-by may have been filming the ordeal, that took place in a parking lot of near a school. No arrests have been made in this case, initial reporting indicates.

According to Aftonbladet, the gang rape has been committed somewhere around 3 o’ clock on Saturday morning, when police were called to the scene by witnesses. By then, the assailants had already fled.

Police have thus far only managed to briefly interview the woman, who has been examined in a hospital by a gynaecologist. She was not seriously injured, Expressen.se reports. On Sunday, forensic detectives have searched the parking lot for traces of the crime.

Woman forced from a party, beaten, raped

In the city of Malmö, a sexual assault occurred on Saturday night as well.

A woman was kidnapped from a party in the migrant-dominated neighbourhood of Rosengard by a man in his 30s. He subsequently took her to an apartment, where she was beaten, raped and abused. The attacker seems to have been known to the victim, Aftonbladet reports.


Following the rape, the woman on Sunday morning managed to flee from the apartment and alert people who were nearby. They assisted her with contacting the medical services and also informed the police of the felony.

Police constables were soon after able to arrest the suspect in the apartment. In the residence, the law officers uncovered a loaded pistol with a silencer plus ammunition and narcotics. The arrested man is now suspected of drug trafficking as well.

Both the suspect and the victim have already been questioned. The police are not ready yet to inform the press of the results of the inquiry. “I cannot disclose many details right now,” police spokesman Nils Norling commented.

25 y/o woman raped near a pool

According to Expressen, a third rape this weekend was committed in the city of Arjang, south-west Sweden. A 25-year-old woman was sexually assaulted near a swimming pool sometime between 2:00 and 2:30 on Sunday night, shortly after leaving a hotel night club.

Some reports say that more than one attacker was involved, but the police deny this. An arrest has yet to be made.

The weekend’s abhorrent prelude

In the days preceding last weekend, several gang rapes were filmed in Sweden, with allegedly one of them even appearing as a live stream on the page of a closed Facebook group consisting of some 60,000 Tunisians living in Europe.

IMMIGRATION MIDDLE EAST
DANISH JIHADISTS STILL RECEIVE “DISABILITY BENEFITS”
Posted on February 20, 2017 19:00
By David Frankenhuis…
5:06 AM - 20 Feb 2017

Denmark wants to halt handing out social benefits relating to ‘sickness’ or ‘disabilities’ to Muslim citizens who headed for the Middle East in order to join the ranks of the Islamic State terror group. A bill that, among others, aims to prevent Danes that are funded by the Danish state from fighting overseas, where their actions undermine the interests of Denmark, has therefore been presented in parliament this morning.

The legal initiative was accompanied by a report from the Police Intelligence Service (PET) proving that state-funded Danish nationals were fighting for IS in Syria and Iraq, BT reports. Employment minister Troels Lund Poulsen commented on the issue:

“It is simply an outrage that we’re spending public welfare money on people traveling to Syria or elsewhere in the world and undermine the democracy that we in Denmark for hundreds of years have been fighting for.”

Poulson, who himself acknowledged the absurdity of the situation, has now announced that he’s going to stop the payments as soon as possible. He will also examine possible legal loopholes which enable the jihadists to live off Danish tax payer money:

“Residing in a war zone and directly or indirectly taking part in military operations is in no way in line with receiving disability payments. Those benefits are meant for persons who cannot work.”


The current legal framework considers reports by PET on Danes fighting in Syria or Iraq as being insufficient to stop them from receiving grants relating to sickness or disabilities. According to a written government statement, the payment of benefits can so far be halted only if a person is fleeing detention after being sentenced or, for example, when a convict has violated the terms of his parole.

The PET findings have certainly upset Naser Khader, who is the Conservatives’ spokesman on immigration and integration. He said:

“The fact that Danish public institutions are indirectly financing terror is insane.”

Bent Bogsted, from the Danish People’s Party, also wasn’t amused by the report, stating that:

“it is highly surprising that you can be ill enough to get a disability pension while simultaneously be sufficiently fit to wage wars.”

Two months back, daily Ekstra Bladet reported on some 36 Danes living on unemployment benefits while fighting for the caliphate, a phenomenon that’s certainly not limited to the little Scandinavian country but, for example, exists in Belgium as well.

Since its independence in 1948, Israel has suffered from acts of terror in the form of suicide bombings, drive-by shootings, rocket attacks and much more. While thousands of Israelis have been killed, many more victims of terror suffer daily from deep physical and emotional scars. Young children, teenagers and adults who have lost loved ones often suffer in silence.

One in seven Belgian jihadists receive welfare benefits

#Vlaanderen Een op de zeven Syriëstrijders krijgt uitkering http://dlvr.it/NLXDsQ #politiek #economie
12:02 AM - 11 Feb 2017
Some 16 Belgian citizens who had previously joined the ranks of Islamic State, Al-Qaeda, and other Jihadist terror bands operating in Syria and Iraq, are back in their home country living off welfare funded by the Belgian State. Since the men “comply with all of the legal requirements,” the authorities claim, it cannot be prevented that they’re now growing fat on Belgian taxpayers’ money, even though they may have been involved in terrorism, mass murder, (child) rape, slavery, and the like.

According to the most recent statistics produced by Belgium’s anti-terrorism agency, OCAD, 117 foreign terrorist fighters who had left for Syria have since returned to the little Western European country. About 1 in 6 of the Jihadists has these past 6 months been soaked in social benefits, the authorities admitted to Belgian daily De Tijd.
Wouter Langeraert, spokesman for the national social security institution RVA, explains:
“We’re simply living in a constitutional state, not every Syria fighter who has returned is in jail. Some returnees comply with all of the legal requirements: they’re not imprisoned, they’ve been registered in their municipalities, they’re available to the labour market, they answer calls from the public employment services, et cetera.”

Oh BBC, you. Journalist John Sweeney asks “Some say you’re a bit of a fascist?” after which Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom carefully dissects this slanderous claim, and turns it around by stating it’s actually Islam in its totalitarian form that’s reminiscent of the 20th century fascist regimes.
Meanwhile, Geert Wilders is still leading in the polls for the upcoming national election on March 15.

Dutch conservative MP says “Muslim immigration must stop”, gets scorned by party leader

The Dutch VVD's Ybeltje Berckmoes visiting the up and coming conservative Thierry Baudet
On February 9th Ybeltje Berckmoes, MEP for the Dutch Torries (VVD), was invited to a public discussion on women in North-Africa and the Middle East (MENA), called “women in the MENA-region and their role in processes of peace and democracy, as well as civil rights”. The main speaker was Sigrid Kaag, UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon.
Afterwards, Berckmoes was interviewed about her remarks during the discussion. She said:
“It’s not mixing for one bit. I see a threat. Because of their population explosion, angry young men from Africa and the Middle East are coming over here, this needs to stop. In Wester Europe, some sort of Eurabia seems to be developing.”
The VVD’s chairman, Halbe Zijlstra subsequently derided her, saying:
“This is a good explanation on why she is not on the electoral list anymore. The way she says it, that’s why she’s not on the list.”

Muslim gang-rape perpetrators in court: “Women should listen, they should not complain”
by Benjamin de Wolf
Several young gang-rapists started laughing in a Belgian court while yelling:

“women should not complain, they should listen to men.”

The seven ‘men’ were seen in a video where they are standing around an unconscious girl who is lying on a bed, then seen pulling down her pants and raping her. Also in the video, they are dancing around the victim and singing songs in Arabic.

The gang of perpetrators, aged 14 (!) to 25, consist of five Iraqi nationals, and two who hold Belgian citizenship. At least two of them are currently in their asylum procedure. When asked, one of them said: “the girl asked us to grab her”. This is extremely unlikely, since she is seen on the video hardly moving at all. This monstrous event happened last November and was discovered by a schoolteacher in Oostende (Belgium) last week. One of the boys, who is only 14 years old, was showing off pictures of himself on his mobile phone wearing an army uniform and sporting an automatic rifle. The teacher informed the police, who confiscated the phone, and later found the gang-rape video.
The mayor of Oostende, Socialist Party heavyweight Johan Vande Lanotte, responded strongly to the crime:

George Soros guy and MEP: “EU must launch own Broadcasting Service to counter lies”
Posted on February 10, 2017 14:30
By Timon Dias
The German André Wilkens, who “headed the Soros Foundation’s Open Society Institute (OSI) in Brussels and coordinated Soros’ activities in Europe (2003-2009)” and member of the European Parliament Jakob von Weizsäcker (Social Democratic Party, yes, Martin Schulz’s club) today published a piece so Orwellian, only Europhiles could have written it.
“Propaganda spreads faster on social media than serious information and we’ve just experienced what an election looks like in the post-factual world. The European Union should launch its own broadcasting channel, the European Broadcasting Service (EBC), to counter the lies, draw Europe together and defend democracy.”
According to these jolly Germans, this is an absolute necessity, because:
“We lack a public space where we can discuss these issues from a European perspective. We are still imprisoned in national filter bubbles. So it is no surprise that we are incapable of developing a common view, let alone coming up with real European solutions. In the long-term, European democracy will only work if it is underpinned by a European public sphere, rather than a series of fragmented national public spheres.”
What are these guys on about?
First, such a Europe-wide platform already exists: Euronews, which last year received 24.7 million euros in subsidies from the European Commission itself.
Second. Eurocrats get international airtime all over the place: BBC, CNN, Al-Jazeera, which rakes in way more views than an EU Broadcasting Service could ever hope to do.
Why don’t these guys just call it quits and take their loss with grace? Their days are numbered and they know it.

HUNGARIAN ARMY COMPLETES BORDER PROTECTION BASE. DOESN’T CARE WHAT THE EU THINKS
Posted on February 10, 2017 12:00
By Vincent van den Born
On February 9, Hungarian Chief of Defense General Dr Tibor Benkő announced that they have completed building the Kelebia border protection base on the Hungarian-Serbian border, and that further installations are expected to be completed later this year. Each facility will “provide modern field accommodation” for 600 military personnel. The soldiers will be on duty along the border until the migration pressure on Europe and Hungary ends. The Defense Chief said he hoped the numbers can be reduced after completion of the second fence, enabling more time for training and other activities.
Benkő stated that over the last one and a half years, in excess of 15.000 soldiers have been on border protection duty, while the Hungarian armed forces have also participated in more than 40 exercises, both domestic and international. In addition, they carried out foreign missions in 12 different locations, spread across three continents.
Meanwhile increased attention is given to the Hungarian-Serbian border section. Already, a 170 km long barrier system has been constructed, similar to the one along the Hungarian-Croatian border, which has a length of 136 km. Construction efforts and guard duties are in line with Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s tough stance on migration. Putting European laws and safety first, under his administration, there is no room for uncontrolled entrance into Europe:

SWEDEN AND GERMANY BUILD ORPHANAGE IN MOROCCO TO DEPORT JUVENILE DELINQUENT MIGRANTS
Posted on February 9, 2017 19:30
Stockholm’s central train station and other crime-infested parts of Sweden may in the near future be just a little bit safer now that the government, with Germany’s help, has managed to strike a deal with Morocco involving returning of unaccompanied street children, living in Sweden and Germany, to their homeland. The Swedes and the Germans have promised to finance a pilot project consisting of two different orphanages in Morocco, an operation that will cost the EU some 20 million euros (or else, Morocco wouldn’t accept its own citizens).

The street children in the age up to 18 years old generally avoid contact with the authorities, Expressen reports, but are nevertheless notorious for their criminal activities. Approximately 400 unaccompanied Moroccan teenagers are now living in Sweden. Many of them initially applied for asylum, but their requests were turned down since Morocco is considered a safe country.

Immigrants make Belgian welfare benefits costs to spiral out of control

The number of people living on social benefits handed out by the state of Belgium has last year multiplied rapidly. In the Flanders region, the increase was the largest since the introduction of the current system 14 years ago. Recently arrived asylum seekers account for some 1 in 3 new cases of people receiving the so-called leefloon, which is a monthly social security allowance at the minimum subsistence level aiming to integrate people in society.

Flanders witnessed an upsurge in the number of leefloon recipients of 12.9 percent over the first 8 months of 2016, the Gazet van Antwerpen reports, whereas Wallonia saw an 8.3 percent rise and Brussels 8 percent. About 125,000 people in Belgium are now receiving the benefit, according to the Programmatorische Overheidsdienst Maatschappelijke Integratie (POD), a Flanders government organisation. POD official Julien Van Geertsom explains:

53% of Brits support May’s Brexit strategy
by Benjamin de Wolf
UK Prime Minister May’s strategy to trigger Article 50, the formal process of leaving the EU, by the end of March, is gaining in popularity. According to an opinion poll published on Monday, the number of British citizens who support May’s Brexit strategy has risen sharply in the past month.
More than 2.000 people were involved in the online poll, and over 53 percent voted in favour of May’s strategy, which is significantly higher than the 38 percent the month before. Also, the Brits’ confidence that May will make a good deal for them has risen; 47 percent in favour versus 29 percent who think she would fail. And the good news doesn’t end there for May; 39 per cent said May was doing a good job, and with that, she is performing better in the public eye than any of her predecessors for the last 20 years.
Based on these figures, it seems the hollow threats by Guy Verhofstadt last week, had little effect on the Brits, and if they did, it probably wasn’t the effect he was hoping for.

EU TAKING ACTION ON TERRORISM WITH MEETINGS AND A VOTE. FEEL SAFE YET?
Posted on February 9, 2017 18:00
By Vincent van den Born
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg meeting with Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission
For its plenary session in February, the EU has published a Directive on Combating Terrorism, sharing some background information on the discussions in EU parliament this month. It is a testament, as much to the glacial pace of European politics, even in the face of what it itself describes as “a threat to security“.
Estimates cited (PDF) by the Directive conclude that by the end of 2015, more than 30.000 individuals had travelled to conflict zones in order to join jihadi groups. Of over 4000 Europeans, 30% have returned to Europe. The report, called Foreign Fighters by the Soufan Group, speculates that whereas the flow of foreign fighters to countries like Syria and Iraq is now drying up, the number of those returning is likely to go up. As the Directive says:
“these are perceived as a threat to security in view of their battlefield experience and of the risk of their future involvement in terrorism-related activities back home.”

Swedish Minister strongly condemns violence against women… in Russia
by Timon Dias
Rich. Margot Wallström, Foreign Minister of the country which allows migrants to rape its women on a near daily basis and where Female Genital Mutilation is rampant, saw fit to lecture its neighbour on “violence against women”.
Commenting on a new (indeed condemnable) Russian law relaxing the sentences for domestic violence, she stated:
“This is a big problem, not only in Russia, but everywhere. Women are beaten to death and it often happens at home. (…) Shouldn’t strong Russian women be able to turn to the courts for help? (…) This is a step backwards”
Whilst perhaps true, it’s somewhat of an uncomfortable sensation to hear a government Minister of “The rape Capital of the West” lecture other countries on the safety of women, while a migrant got away with a two-month sentence after vaginally and anally raping two underage Swedish girls.

EU threatens to sue countries refusing migrants
by Timon Dias
Euractiv reports:
“Today Commission First Vice-President Frans Timmermans threatened court action against countries that refuse to relocate refugees. The first infringement procedures, which could result in fines, may be launched as early as next month.”
These ‘infringement proceedings’ are part of the European Commission’s instruments to enforce its will on rebellious member states, this time being Austria, Denmark, Poland and Hungary.
In 2015, the EU agreed that by September 2017, 160.000 migrants would be resettled from Greece and Italy to other member states. With only seven months to go, only 8,162 people have actually been resettled, leaving a gap of over 150.000 people.

Counter-terror chief warns against extremist groups uprising in east Germany
by Benjamin de Wolf
According to a senior counterterrorism chief Stephan Kramer, official Islamic radicals and far-right terror groups are becoming an increasing problem in east German provinces. The information obtained stated that Islamic radicalism is spread all over Germany. Kramer, chief of state protection and counter-terrorism in Thuringa (East Germany) claimed to receive terrorism-related intelligence on a daily basis. He also said that many Islamic extremists came to the region during the summer of 2015, when Merkel caused a massive influx of Muslim immigration to Western Europe.
Kramer claimed that:
“at the time, a radical group had raised red flags in Saxony for building new prayer centers with the goal of instating Sharia law in Germany (…) and now we have similar information in Thuringa too, and I know from my colleagues in other eastern Germany states that the situation is similar there too. It’s a country-wide issue.”

SWEDISH SCHOOL RECEIVED ‘PEACE PRIZE’ FOR ACCEPTING MOST MIGRANTS, NOW TURNED INTO WARZONE
Posted on February 9, 2017 11:00
By Vincent van den Born
Criminals trying to recruit students. Brawls between different ethnic groups. Drug dealing. Welcome to the prestigious Värnhem School in central Mälmo, which won the 2015 ‘Peace Prize’ for taking in the most “newly arrived pupils” (immigrants).
Swedish newspaper Expressen paints a stark picture of the school confronted with so many trouble and problems, it had to install fences and hire security personnel. Still the situation got so out of hand the school had to close down for two days after large, running battles within the school, a week before its students were to serve dinner at the annual Nobel Prize banquet.
Friday, 18 November 2016. A young man gets irritated when some guys of different nationalities looked at his girl the wrong way. He confronts them and a fight erupts between newly arrived students from the Middle East and Afghanistan. Their relationship with the school has long been tense, and now, from all corners of the school, more rush up the stairs, into the cafeteria to take part in the fighting.

HUNGARIAN PM VIKTOR ORBÁN VOWS TO MAKE EUROPE GREAT AGAIN
Posted on February 7, 2017 15:00
By Vincent van den Born
“Protecting a border is not a nice thing. It is not a matter of aesthetics; it cannot be done with flowers and teddy bears,” Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán said in a number of speeches in Brussels this week. Adding that by protecting the border, “we are safeguarding the lifestyle, economic model, and safety so dearly cherished by Europeans.” He also attacked European elites, claiming that what the people of Europe want are “democratic societies“, not “open societies.”

“The leaders of Europe always seem to emerge from the same elite, the same general frame of mind, the same schools, and the same institutions that rear generation after generation of politicians to this day. They take turns implementing the same policies. (…) large masses of people today want something radically different from what traditional elites want. This is the deep cause of the restlessness, anxiety, and tension erupting on the surface, time and again, in the wake of a terrorist attack or some other act of violence, or when we confront a seemingly unstoppable tidal wave of migration.”

After claiming in 2016 that 2017 would be the “year of rebellion“, Orbán himself seems bent on leading the pack. His government’s actions on immigration have come under severe criticism from Western media and the usual ‘Human Rights’ groups, but this does not seem to stop him. Instead, Orbán has started a counteroffensive, stating that the problems Europe faces are best discussed in “an open and honest debate” on how to proceed. To declare problems or possible solutions taboo beforehand is counter productive.
