Demise by the Numbers: The least Logical Gun Control

I saw this meme/chart on the Facebook:

14021509_1233314993368693_2951094844361524757_n

The Three Percenters/Facebook.

I’m a little skeptical about the exactness of numbers allegedly compiled as recently as June 15th of this year – those usually take a few months or a year to coalesce. However, they are inline with general trends and stats that I have researched in previous years, even to report here. I hereby grant them statistical validity for my purposes. Please note these are for the first half of the year only.

The ditzy feminist provides perfect commentary: complacent and even gleeful as to 640,000 deaths of politically correct origin but aghast that a few are killed by firearms.

Like most SJWs and liberals, feminists tow the hard-line for gun controls. For them the subject is supposedly about empowering women and preventing domestic violence. The Second Amendment = domestic violence. They’re right about some of their numbers of gun deaths (dishonest on most). My point is that those numbers pale 100 to 1 against other deaths that feminists violently champion.

Their dishonesty involves turning a blind eye not only to babies but to men. Even Huma Abedin’s former radical Islamic employer admits that men are the majority of domestic violence victims (concurring with the CDC and the EU). The truth must not interfere with the agenda. And the agenda is disarming the people.

The shriekers and hand-wringers pay no attention to the huge number of lives saved from criminals by guns every year. They either don’t understand or don’t care about the net effect. They certainly don’t care about despotism. If the Second Amendment equals domestic violence, then an absence of the Second Amendment equals domestic tyranny. As soon as any dictator takes power, from Stalin to Mugabe, thousands or millions always die – from guns, state guns.

If the idiots cared about human life, they might start by addressing the major causes of death and suffering. They don’t and they will not. They hate men and detest women. they serve only their god, the almighty government. They’ll just keep shrieking in their illogical fantasy world. Allow them no control.

Alternate Predictions: Hillary’s First 100 Days and Beyond

America, collapse, Donald Trump, election, future, government, Hillary Clinton, politics, The People

I still have this feeling that Donald John Trump will become America’s 45th President. It’s just a feeling, I must admit. I base it on two ideas. Trump likes winning and, by the numbers, he still has a narrow opportunity. Rumor grows, and is well-reasoned, that Trump is really a Clinton plant trying to throw the election to his old friend. That seems quite likely too. If that’s true, then a large percentage of the people are being cruelly played. That is nothing new in politics (the norm really).

The people form the basis of the other half of my Trump victory rationale. One would think that after so many recent decades of crime and deceit from Washington, the voters would welcome any outsider with open arms. Trump may be a narcissistic megalomania, a connected corporatist insider, a New York City liberal, and a long-time friend of the Clintons, but at least he is not a Clinton himself. There is, not as of now, any suspicion of Donald having murdered anyone, let alone half a cemetery. This would be the lesser of two evils factor.

Then again, it is never safe to overestimate the American public with its goldfish-like memory and gullibility of a three-year-old. They have made clear they are not interested in any third-party disruption of the Democrat-Republican alliance for the greater good of the bankers of the world. Thus, I need waste no energy on Gary Johnson or any one else. It is also useless to speculate of the resistance Hillary may face from a nominally Republican Congress. Any such will be slight and fleeting.

This is a story about Clinton who does, my feelings aside, stand a very good chance of becoming your next president. I say “your” not “our” because I will have nothing to do with it, either way. Having separated from politics and much of popular culture, I am now planning a full divorce. I’ll still be around, offering a real alternative, but this is your pointless fight.

Speaking of pointless, Hillary has already begun to assemble her transition team and is laying out her first term goals. It largely consists of three phases: 1) more government; 2) more government, and; 3) …more government. If you’re “with her”, then you must agree that the past 240 years of constant expansion just hasn’t been enough.

bio-photo-25

HillaryClinton.com.

While the tone of the agenda is tax and spend, there must be a healthy yet undisclosed dose of debt expansion. Assuming she has two terms, I conservatively estimate she will leave you with between $40 and $55 Trillion in on-books debt, circa 2024. If all goes well by her plans, the total unfunded liabilities will lurch towards $300 Trillion.

If all does not go well (and when does it?), then the Treasury and/or the Fed (and you by proxy) may have to assume some of the fictitious losses from the bursting of the derivatives bubble. In that case, multiply those already rosy numbers above by a factor of two to five.

Under a worst case scenario Hillary might spend much of her second term attempting to reorder the currency itself – a revaluation of high magnitude designed to offset the effects of inflation, hyper or otherwise. To borrow some of Jesse Jackson’s lingo, this revaluation will be devaluation, leading to evisceration. Also, look for the confiscation of your passports – you vote for this and you’ll have to stay and live with it.

Some of her agenda deals with:

Infrastructure rebuilding

America’s roads and bridges do need an overhaul. This would be best accomplished through privatization and user fees. Instead, look for new wasteful government programs complete with generous graft. These are to be paid for with new taxes on “the rich”. They will involve taxing a dollar to spend a quarter; the bargain will, as always, be passed on to you. Congratulations, you’re rich.

Immigration Reform

All illegal immigrants will be sanctioned and their extended families and friends welcomed to come in as well. More emphasis will be placed on expediting an increased flow of terror-prone muslims from the Middle East and elsewhere.

Promises will be made that this is an end measure, not to be repeated again. Those will be lies which the people will accept even if they know better. The goal is to have America majority non-white, non-European BEFORE 2050. The plan will work well, the results less so.

Gun Control

One of Hillary’s official unofficial aims is to diminish the Second Amendment. An outright repeal will be virtually impossible though completely unnecessary. A parade of “common sense” reforms should do the trick.

One of the first measure to come shall be the universal abolition of immunity for firearms manufacturers. When Mohammed bin Mohammed el Mohammed, freshly immigrated as a “refugee”, shoots and kills 50 people in the name of Allah, look for a class-action lawsuit against Sig Sauer. Bankrupting gun makers is as good as eliminating the Second Amendment.

This and more will be facilitated by Hillary’s Supreme Court. I imagine her whole aim in the appointment process will be to ram through one or more anti-gun candidates. Look for the same in the lower federal courts.

Beset with similar problems as the U.S., Germany stands to see an increase in gun ownership. As their defensive capability rises, so Hillary will have yours fall.

Universal College

This one will be especially popular. As the economy declines further and fewer people have the ability to find work, more will desire to waste four to ten years in various do-nothing college programs. And as universal healthcare worked out so well, so it may be with higher “education” (no actual education, no learning, is expected).

This may be approached in a variety of ways but will necessarily involve more public debt. More of the burden of existing private education debt may (will) be shifted to the taxpayers as well. This will account for $1 – $5 Trillion of the new (recorded) debt.

All Other Existing Entitlements

These will be safe and sound and expanded as time allows. More debt will flow.

War

Hillary has no stated claims of belligerence against any particular foes. At least none that I am aware of. Yet, as the above policies fail miserably there will be a need to divert the public attention. Look for near-perpetual war in the future – most of it in the Middle East. That will: allow the constant flow of terrorists into the U.S.; provide huge profits for the MIC and the banks, and; keep Americans preoccupied.

Do not look for any victories in the traditional sense. If the wars end up involving Russia or China, actual military defeat may be possible. Winning and losing are immaterial; it’s the spending that counts.

Debt and Money

As I’ve explained, the debt will continue to grow apace. The already worthless dollar may come to be itself something worse – an actual nuisance. Hillary will do whatever it takes to protect the cabal and ensure their increased power.

 

Much of this agenda, most maybe, will come to pass if Trump wins. After the election in November I plan to publish a set of predictions of what will follow in the next one to eight years and beyond. That will allow me a string of “see, I told you so” articles.

The America you knew is over. The Republic is a thing of the past and will not be revived any time soon, if ever. Better days will follow but much pain will be experienced to get to them. And they will be different from those of the past. Hopefully they will bring the people a little enlightenment. That may be too much to ask.

The Elective Perspective

America, election, politics, The People

In less than three months the American people (well, maybe 57% of 50% of them) will participate in the Great Quadrennial Black Mass of political theater. The odor reaches new depths of nauseam.

The saying goes that every vote counts. It does if one is a member of the electoral college. Otherwise, no vote counts. Please explain to me how your voting for Hillary will swing California’s 55 or Florida’s 29? Actually, please don’t. You just go and do your part for … democracy and such. There is a general relation between popular, voting and electoral. But it is uncertain and insignificant.

So too is the election itself. The significant changes occurred long ago and it is certain the powers will have they way after this November – for a little while longer.

Still, there is a sport and a fandom, an exciting spirit exhibited this time of the political season. Hey, people love a rodeo despite the copious bullshit (literal is that case).

The Atlantic, already looking forward to Hillary’s coronation, is already beginning the whiny defense of America’s first bitch (their word) president. I couldn’t make it through the whole article but it seems they are afraid some unenlightened folks don’t like Old Cankles just because she’s old and cankley. Or because she’s a woman. They seem to forget her record of failed policy. Her warmongering. Her felonious neglect. The private cemetery full of previous associates. “R.I.P. Another Suicide…”

Pat Buchanan offers, as usual, a better perspective. Fervor and pomp aside, there are serious issues at stake for the people. And there is still time for a surprise or two.

Fred Reed sees beyond the election, beyond the popular nonsense, to the coming rectification of calamity. Things are now in motion which no election and no candidate can cure. If America took out a Craigslist ad for a Man on Horseback, nobody has yet answered.

Yesterday I toyed with the maps at 270towin. Based on my modeling I still foresee a narrow Trump victory. It matters not. A Trump win will signify that a slight majority of voters have an undefined desire to return to some vague idea of civility, maybe even prosperity. It will mean a short time of false hope. The ship has sailed; it now flounders.

A Clinton win herald the end. It will represent the stacks and masts going below the waterline. In a way that would be best. Then, in short order once the hulk hits the seabed, any survivors can build America 2.0. Or, they might likely accept a healthy Balkanization of the old territory. Necessarily moving on in any case. Some have prepared and are now manning the lifeboats. The rest will shortly meet with Davy Jones. All their choices.

Time will tell. And the time is short. Logical recourse gave way to hope, plausible then delusional. Now comes the reckoning.

The day after the electoral votes are tallied (and your vote discarded) I may post a state of the state memorandum for what it’s worth. Not much… Just maybe.Perchance. After the stench clears, at any rate.

Angela Merkel Comes Clean About Terrorism (Kind Of)

Angela Merkel, Europe, Germany, Islam, terrorism, The West

Terrorism is nothing new to Europe. The ancient Romans used terrorism against the Germanic peoples. The Germanic often answered in like kind. Today, however, virtually all of the terror attacks reported from the Old Continent involve Islamist agents (all of the mass attacks do). The rate of incidence of these attacks has skyrocketed in the past year, coinciding with the arrival of more than a million Muslim “refugees” from the Middle East.

The leaders of European nations have been rightly criticized for allowing this invasion and for not brutally crushing the terror-prone elements. Angela Merkel is the poster child for failed leadership.

Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Wednesday refugees had not brought terrorism to Germany, adding that Islam belonged in the country as long as it was practiced in a way that respected the constitution.

The invaders do not respect the German constitution nor anything else except for their opportunities. They are taking advantage of their ability to rape European women and kill “infidels” all the while collecting generous benefits from their victims.

Islam does not belong in Europe. Time and time again it has entered the Continent with disastrous consequences. Centuries have been spent repelling invasion and rebuilding from wars. It has no interest in the West and does not belong here. It’s hard to fathom that such a violent and backwards religious lifestyle belongs anywhere but it does have its place. There are backwards parts of the world. It must be removed back to them as fast as possible.

I take Merkel’s remarks as an admission. She is correct: though they carry out the separate attacks, the “refugees” did not usher in the terrorism at large. Merkel did. Hollande did. All of the elites who worship at the altar of diversity and altruistic humanism did. They are guilty. They should be punished.

 

Idiotic Foreign Policy (If Any)

America, banksters, government, Iran, ISIS, politicians, Russia, stupidity, War, Washington

In Washington, whatever the policies may be, common sense and intelligence certainly are foreign. Foreign as in alien, absent, and completely unknown. The crowd clustered around The Hill is so stupid that they could only be modern Americans. True, the owners – the banks and corporations and special interests, sometimes behind the scenes – they have smarts. But they are marred by an evil as deep as D.C.’s vapidity.

The only real policy in the District is stealing and wasting money through a never-ending game of domination (of everything and everyone). The foreign part? Let’s just call in “international affairs” to differentiate it from the domestic thievery and oppression. Internationally, let’s start with “policy” towards Iran.

Washington has had it out for Iran since the 1950s. The reason originally given to the American people for this animosity has long since been forgotten. The real reason I already covered, the power and the money thing. Still, today, Iran is bad. Iran is our enemy. We would go to war with Iran except we’ve lately discovered we’re not all that good at the sport anymore (see Iraq, etc.). Iran is bad.

There’s ISIS. ISIS is bad (sometimes). It would seem to the sensible that a terrorist organization that destroys nightclubs, beheads priests, and runs people down with delivery trucks would be bad full-time. The problem is that Washington created ISIS, intentionally as a CIA toy or accidentally in a drunken stupor. They made them, trained, them, armed them, funded them and then kicked them in the head to get the jihadis really angry. They’ve alternated between these things off and on for a good, long time now. Meanwhile, Washington and its inbreed allies in Europe have willfully imported the terrorists into the West. Insane! The cycle of lunacy goes on apace but, officially, the liars of Columbia will say ISIS is our enemy. ISIS is bad.

Then there’s Russia. Russia is descended from another big, criminally talented, power and money nation, the U.S.S.R. I recall as a child hearing we had a of problems with them and had had such for a while. Then, suddenly – “POOF!” – they were gone. All was quiet for a while and then along came the modern, civilized nation of Russia. Political BS aside, if nations were individual people, America and Russia would look like twins. The sensible (where’d he go??) might think our two countries would be cooperating at everything, being the best of friends. No.

Washington has again decreed that Russia is an evil empire. Russia hates us. Russia is our enemy. Some of the very lowest and dumbest dregs around D.C. actually want a war with Russia. We could not win that one. Neither could Russia. Not an all-out war. We’d all be dead. The Americans and Soviets of old knew this. Thus the grudging but relatively peaceful cold war. Putin and company still appear to have some sense. Washington has lost it all. Russia is bad.

So: Iran bad; ISIS bad; Russia bad. Today, wouldn’t you know it, news comes that Russia is bombing the living hell out of ISIS in Syria. They’re flying heavy bombers out of … wait for it … Iran.

One might call this irony but, really, words cannot describe it. The closet we can get is, “Washington is our enemy” or “Washington is bad”.

Satanic Invocations Over America: Sign of the Times

MRCTV had an interesting, if disturbing, article last week about a city council meeting in Alaska. Like most such affairs in America it was kicked off with a religious invocation. The invocation was unusual in that it was given by some Alaskan satanists.

Let us stand now, unbowed and unfettered by arcane doctrines, born of fearful minds in darkened times. Let us embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat of the tree of knowledge and dissipate our blissful and comforting delusions of old. Let us demand that individuals be judged for their concrete actions, not their fealty to arbitrary social norms and illusory categorizations.

Let us reason our solutions with agnosticism in all things, holding fast only to that which is demonstrably true. Let us stand firm against any and all arbitrary authority that threatens the personal sovereignty of all or one.

That which will not bend must break and that which can be destroyed by truth should never be spared its demise. It is done. Hail Satan.

“It is done. Hail Satan.” This is not your grandfather’s country anymore. Such words of “blessing” at a public gathering are unusual but are part of a growing trend. I recently watched a video of a similar spectacle in Pensacola, Florida.

satanism

What. The. Hell? MRCTV.org.

America is, or was, a Christian nation. Naturally, Christian priests and pastors were called on to lead prayers before official meetings. Now, however, in post-American times, cities are caving to the forces of darkness out of fear of lawsuits. The courts and the lawyer class have twisted the First Amendment into a weapon against public morality. I fail to see how having Christian prayers somehow constitutes either the establishment of one religion or the banning of others. To me, it merely reflects respect for the majority sentiment and homage to the wisdom which founded the country. No longer.

In years past the debate sometimes centered on a Catholic invocation versus Protestant. This was not a matter of apples and oranges, but of different types of apples. Christian versus satanic messages isn’t apples and oranges either; it is apples and horseshit.The Alaskan and Floridian satanic messages were less about the devil and more about smart aleck atheism – sly jabs at the Christian faith and believers (which, of course, is the Devil’s work).

The lawyers’ work is done. The courts have ruled. The politicians have caved. Still, it isn’t entirely the government’s fault. Some blame lies with the Christian churches in America, Catholic and Protestant. Pat Buchanan dedicated two, back-to-back chapters in one of his books to this phenomenon. The Catholic Church (Latin [Roman] especially) has done a pitiful job of promoting and defending itself, instead dedicating it’s time to cover-ups and institutionalism for institutionalism’s sake.

The Protestant churches, born of arbitrary changes, have kept on arbitrarily changing to fit the times. Whereas Catholicism has been perceived as not changing enough or not changing at all, the descendants of Calvin and Wesley have changed too much. Some of these have completely ceased to even resemble churches.

I spend a lot of my time on road trips. Often, with nothing to do but drive, I tune in to local Christian stations. I particularly pay attention to broadcasts from older, senior pastors. Most of these are Protestant, frequently Baptist. I’m Catholic but I do love the apples to apples bluntness in the messages. Recently I listened to an independent Baptist preacher in Jacksonville. He decried the rise of “cotton candy” theology and he nailed it as a problem. I paraphrase: The typical “Christian” worship experience at the new, nondenominational mega-“churches” consists of 45 minutes of rock music followed by a 10-15 minute, feel-good sermonette about nothing. He said of this false gospel nonsense: “It tastes good but it isn’t very filling.” He’s right. The majority of our churches have dropped the ball.

The people themselves have done worse. To them goes the lion’s share of responsibility. In a way it is fitting that agents of Lucifer preside over American government gatherings. Most government at any given time and all of them, given enough time, will cross over from being mildly intrusive to completely evil. As that process unfolds today, legions of Americans gleefully anticipate and revere the doings of the state. Many (a huge number, maybe approaching a marjoity) now, in some form or fashion, literally worship the state itself. Government power is now a religion, possibly the largest in the United States. God has nothing to do with it. People may deny this though theirs constant genuflection to the civic altar rather gives them away.

“It is done.” Perhaps it is so. But there is a chance it may still be undone. Praise Jesus!

Advice for Would-Be Law Students

13 Saturday Aug 2016

≈ Comments Off on Advice for Would-Be Law Students

America, freedom, law, law school, legal education, legal profession, The People

Late this spring, at a school ceremony, I was surprised to learn that my Daughter wants to be an attorney when she grows up. I had thought she wanted to be a marine biologist or a veterinarian or an artist. Maybe like me, she’s a contrarian; after hearing me grumble for years about the law business, maybe she just has to try it. Maybe she’ll grow out of it. Perhaps she’ll become a marine biology attorney. I just want her to be happy.

The law isn’t for everyone and not all areas of the legal profession are the same. The law itself isn’t what it used to be. At Nuremberg the traditions of Western legal philosophy were effectively jettisoned through the window. They clung to the ledge for a while and then fell. Currently, the law lies, dying, on the street below. If one listens, one can still hear it murmur things like “due process” and “no ex post facto…”. Sad, really.

Still, many will want to at least attend law school; several will go on to become practicing attorneys. For these prospective students, I thought I would offer some advice, some ideas about the profession and its formal education process. Here goes:

The practice of law is horrible. Tucker Max wrote the best essay on the subject I have ever read: Why You Shouldn’t Go to Law School: For the overwhelming majority of people (>99.9%), law school is the wrong choice. Here’s why. Read that. Neither he nor I practice now. I fell under his fourth reason not to go to law school – I wanted to do something noble. I didn’t, I couldn’t. It is impossible. My ideal was to bring freedom to as many people as possible. They don’t want it. Most of what I write here is still a vain attempt to bring people around. That, or preaching to the choir. Read that essay – Tucker’s a funny man, but he’s dead serious on all counts. And right too.

 

Even worse than the theory of jurisprudence and the active practice is state of legal education itself, especially in America. Read my essay on that.

American legal education is so bad that the esteemed Alan Watson wrote a book about it: The Shame of American Legal Education. Read that book before you apply to law school.

Alan Watson, Esq. Amazon.

If an American, despite these warnings, must go to law school, they should consider Watson’s alternative. Consider going to law school in Scotland. There, legal theory is still revered and taught. The Scottish schools teach people the law itself. American schools teach being a boring cog in a broken wheel (and most aren’t very good at even that). One might decide to stay in Scotland. Should one return to the U.S. one will have to obtain some auxiliary BS “training” before joining the bar. But, at least that person would be fortified in the truth and the science as American law students are not.

One American law school is about as bad as the rest. Rankings really do not matter. Still, for prestige alone and to help with seeking employment, try a top-rated school if possible. The experience will still disappoint.

These schools, for as little as they are worth, are expensive. A legal education can easily cost $250,000 or more. And low-tier schools can be just as expensive as Harvard or Yale. If one must go, try for a top-ranked state school and try to get a scholarship.

Take a break between undergraduate studies and law school and explore something – anything. This might kill the desire to study law. That would be a good thing.

Consider alternatives. Put some thought into it. In retrospect, I should have pursued an advanced degree in political philosophy or history. Maybe chemistry or forestry. Yes, the law can open many doors of opportunity but it also makes you walk through other doors not so appealing.

Do not study pre-law or business law or any related BS in college thinking it will help with law school. It won’t. English, philosophy, and political theory are better majors. The best course of study is the one that interests you the most. Above all else, remember to learn something.

Before you fully commit to legal education (here or abroad) do two internships or volunteer stints. The first should be in the area you think you are most interested in. The second should be in the field that is most remote from what you think you like. This will provide a real-world perspective and a little balance. Bounce your ideas off of everyone.

Consider the rise of the AI attorney. Robots are not just stealing factory jobs. By the time my daughter graduates from college (or even high school) computers will be doing most legal work. This will be good and bad. It will save many students from horrendous careers though leaving them burdened with debt and regrets.

Consider that people will constantly bother you for advice – even if you can’t give it. “You’re a contracts attorney? Great! Let me ask you about my friend’s DUI charges…” These types love to waste time and they don’t pay for it. They also don’t follow advice anyway. Upon not following it, they will still blame you for the problems they created. As there are a few too many attorneys, so there are WAY too many idiots.

Don’t be afraid of change. Becoming a lawyer doesn’t mean being one for life. One can switch areas of practice or leave the law altogether. Fifty percent or more of American lawyers do not practice law.

In fact, don’t be afraid. That’s the best advice I could give my daughter or anyone else. I just want her to be happy. I want everyone to be happy. And free. See, I’m still at it…

If You Like Your High Prices, You Can Keep Your High Prices: Ailing ObamaCare

America, government, insurance, money, ObamaCare, taxes

Either Donald or Hillary will face many challenges come January. (One wonders why any sane person would want such a job.) Among them is the rapid deterioration of ObamaCare. The program is in very real danger of failing at least one of its primary goals, insurance company profits.

The Obama administration has struggled for several years to bring young, healthy people into the marketplaces, which is needed to offset the medical costs of older and sicker customers.

These problems are coming to light this year, as insurers get their first full look at ObamaCare customer data. Some, like UnitedHealth Group, say they’ve seen enough and are already vowing to leave the exchanges.

Levitt and other experts warn that if the numbers don’t improve this year, more insurers could bolt. That would deal a major blow to marketplace competition while also driving up rates and keeping even more people out of the exchanges.

The answer is going to be higher (much higher) health insurance premiums for all who currently pay. Rates in some states are set to rise another 40-60% immediately and on top of other recent increases. How’s that for “affordable”? A few of the con-men say this will be a mere one-time offset. Aside from previous increases and those sure to follow, it will be.

nimbus-image-1471007890582

ObamaCare was legally justified by the Nine of Minas Morgul as just another tax. I wrote about that in my first substantive column here, over four years ago. Taxes don’t just steal money of their own accord. They also bring higher regulatory costs, inflation, and higher prices to boot. Thus, their destructive nature. Insurance companies were designed for one thing – to make money for themselves. They will keep doing so at your expense. If you like your money, you will lose your money.

"Refugees", Europe, France, immigration, The West

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm once told a fable about a wolf who tricked his way into an old goat’s house in order to get at her children. Upon leaving the family home the mother goat warned her kids not to open the door to strangers. The wolf used chalk to sooth his husky voice and dough and flour to make his black paw more goat-like. The miller from whom he procured the flour was onto him but, cowed by threats, gave in any way. The kids requested to see the wolf’s paw at the window. Thanks to the miller’s work it appeared white and goat-ish. The disguise and the ruse worked. The kids let the wolf inside their home and he ate them.

Earlier today I wrote a short piece about the rising attacks on Christians in Europe by immigrant “refugees” of Islamic persuasion. I once again called out the nefarious political thugs running Europe into the ground, into the grave.

Then, I read a most remarkable story, a story of pure evil. Worse than the tale of The Wolf and the Seven Kids.

As more and more invaders pour into France and Europe, the “refugee” housing centers are all overwhelmed. Little thought is given to the terror and the devastating changes these marauders bring with them. Room must be found for them! Incredibly, Housing minister Emmanuelle Cosse is begging the French people to take their future conquerors into their homes.

Some people are actually letting in the invaders. Perhaps Cosse is like the miller, being threatened into betraying his people for the sake of villainy. Has no mother warned against opening the door to predators? Or, did the warning fall on deaf ears?

These wolves don’t even bother with a disguise. And this is no fairy tale.

The Roman Empire persecuted early Christians. In Addition to killing Saint Peter and Paul the Apostle, the Empire killed, tortured, and abused countless others of the faith. Early followers of Christ were forced to live and worship underground (literally in some cases). Still, they persisted and in 312 A.D. Emperor Constantine himself converted. Today Rome is the center of Christianity; Europe is also known as Christendom.

Yet today, nineteen and a half centuries after Peter’s crucifixion, European Christians are once again being forced underground.

Hussein Obama does not admit Christian or non-muslim refugees into the United States. Of the thousands and thousands that come, virtually all are Islamic. Germany, which allows in far more refugees per capita than the U.S., apparently accepts at least a few Christians into its camps and migrant centers.

In those centers Christians are treated like animals by their Muslim fellows. The conditions they endure at the hands of the Mohammedans are deplorable:

Many Muslim asylum seekers call all Christians unclean. Church services are held in secret, bibles and crucifixes have to be hidden,” she explained.

Ms Mousapour, pastor of the Evangelical Free Church, disclosed that even converts who no longer live in migrant housing attract Muslims’ ire, and recounted her experience of being threatened at knifepoint on the street.

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) politician called the anti-Christian hate crimes “horrific attacks on our fundamental values and our Constitution.

This treatment mirrors the general disdain the invaders have for their host countries, not just Germany, but France, Holland, Britain, and the rest of Europe. Christians at large are in danger; Priests are murdered during Mass. Crime is rampant. The invaders have no regard for European women. They do not want to assimilate into Western society. They want to replace it with their own (while, of course, still accepting the generous benefits offered by the natives). This collective refusal of civilization is in addition to the near-constant terrorist attacks the savages have unleashed: bombing people; shooting people; stabbing people; beheading people; running over people with trucks; etc.

The refugee policies of Europe represent suicide by migrants. Worse, this horror has been foisted on the people by their own corrupt leaders. A few politicians and Christian leaders are calling for the deportation of immigrant thugs who commit anti-Christian hate crimes. The problem is: how does one know which of the invaders are prone to such activity. Given that factor and, more importantly, the overall hatred the refugees hold for the West, why not deport them all?

This is the only solution that will ensure a continued civilized, Christian Europe. The same may be said of America.
