Going the Other Way: Czech Republic Brings Guns and Law Together

The Czech Republic adds a “Second Amendment” to its Constitution:

America stands alone in this regard. We’re the only country with a constitution that gives civilians a clear and explicit right to own and carry firearms. In every other nation, civilians don’t own firearms unless their governments let them.

That however, is about to change. While most EU governments are eyeing more restrictive gun laws, the Czech Republic is about to add the right to bear arms to its constitution.

Czech Lawmakers have passed legislation in the lower parliament that would see the right to bear firearms enshrined in the country’s constitution in a move directed against tighter regulations from the European Union.

The legislation was passed with 139 deputies agreeing to the amendment to the constitution with only nine deputies voting against. The amendment will now be considered by the Czech Senate where it will require a supermajority of three-fifths of the members in order to pass into law, Die Presse reports.

Similar to the U.S. second amendment to the Constitution, which gives Americans the right to keep and bear arms, the Czech legislation reads: “Citizens of the Czech Republic have the right to acquire, retain and bear arms and ammunition.”

The amendment also notes that the right is there to ensure the safety of the country, similar to the provision of a “well-regulated militia” in the American amendment.
After the bill passes through the senate, it’s expected to be signed into law by President Milos Zeman, who changed his mind on privately owned guns last year.

It’s interesting and refreshing to see the spread of freedom in Eastern Europe, even as the Western nations and the U.S. go the other way.

We’ll Always Have Frankfurt: Shun Global; Love National

I just saw and read this article: “Frankfurt Becomes First German City Where Natives Are Minority.”

On the surface it’s a scare piece designed to show Muslim immigrants or some other group taking over Christendom. That may be the long-term plan but it’s not quite accurate – yet.

Native Germans have dropped to just below 50% of the population. However, the Turkish immigrants, far and away the most numerous non-European group, comprise only 13% of the total. The majority of the new transplants are from other EU countries. Thus, Frankfurt is still roughly 70% white European. It still looks and feels European, even German.

The globalist scum no doubt want to change that. And the article raises several points about their operations.

Economically, the report shows big disparities between foreigners and Germans, with the income of 49 per cent of people with roots outside Germany falling below the poverty line compared to 23 per cent amongst natives.

In terms of employment rates, 83 per cent of German men and 78 per cent of German women are in work, figures which drop to 73 per cent and 59 per cent amongst men and women with foreign backgrounds, respectively.

The second paragraph is slightly telling but not so much as the first – if you know what to look for. This isn’t about the “refugees” – the globalists don’t want them working. They get welfare from the natives’ taxes so they can concentrate on the jihad and killing the natives who pay them. Thankfully they’re really a small fraction.

Not your father’s Europe. Breitbart / Wiki.

The real story is with the wage disparity between the natives and the newcomers (mostly other Europeans, remember). That’s how the globalist’s free markets work, internationally. Jobs are killed in one area, sending the young and the employable scrabbling wherever they can go to take whatever they can get. It’s either move and work for peanuts or stay at home and starve.

They want to do this with the U.S. too. They’re trying hard. I read somewhere (I’ll credit Vox Day) that if the system is fully implemented in America, 50% of the people under the age of 35 will have to go abroad to find work. And they will work for much less. Debilitating serfdom.

The following is especially telling and alarming:

Weber hailed the rate of single motherhood amongst women of foreign origin, which the report showed was significantly higher than that of native Germans in the city, as “a possible sign that female migrants are emancipating themselves”, and called for more research into the subject.

The more single mothers, the better? Single motherhood is emancipation? From what? Logic, tradition, and civilization itself?

These hellish ghouls want to destroy the various nations and peoples as well as the family unit. They don’t want the world to resemble NYC. They want it their own big plantation – a place where you, me, and the single moms have to turn to either Massa Brussels or Boss Banker for the bare essentials of life.

It’s getting to be time to put these “elites” in their place. Somebody grab a shovel.

 

 

Back to Brussels: Seven Thoughts on the Latest Terror Attack

“Aloha Snackbar!” So said the “soldier of the Caliphate” as he detonated his homicide vest and was simultaneously shot down by soldiers of failing Christendom.

A suspected suicide bomber who allegedly shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ before triggering an explosive vest at Brussels Central Station has been gunned down and killed by soldiers.

Shots rang out soon after 9pm as police and soldiers moved in ‘to neutralise a suspect who was threatening civilians,’ in what is being considered a terrorist incident.

Initial reports suggested the suspect, described as being ‘tanned and well-built’, was wearing a rucksack packed with explosives – while witnesses later claimed he tried to blow up a trolley or a suitcase.

Terrified passengers inside the station ran towards the tracks as they tried to avoid the blast. There were no other casualties reported and police quickly said the situation was ‘under control’.

Tourists were among those who fled in panic, and within a few minutes the busy nearby shops and restaurants were shut down.

The Grand Place, the city’s most popular tourist spot, was completely evacuated alongside the station 650 metres away because of fears that the man might not be acting alone.

I’m going to leave the story at that. Now I want to make a few observations:

1. This comes on the heels of the truck ramming in Paris yesterday. I wasn’t going to even mention that one. There, did it.

2. I didn’t bother to investigate who the terrorist was. However, we know that he was already known to authorities. Why? Why do we know that? Come on, we always know. That’s because the terrorist invaders ARE ALWAYS KNOWN in advance. It’s completely possible he had already been arrested and released for previous terror issues.

3. “…fears that the man might not be acting alone.” He wasn’t.

4. It seems (early) that the Jihadist was the only casualty. I get the feeling his bomb malfunctioned. That makes me think the bomb making is proliferating. There is already a widespread network of ISIS munition experts in Europe. Their products usually go off with a big, concert-shattering bang. This guy was probably a DIY novice, branching out on his own. Not a good thing, except that no one else, here, was affected. Might not be so lucky next time (soon).

5. They said he appeared “tan and well built.” Muscular, healthy, tanned even – just like all pitiful, emaciated “refugees,” you know. Fleeing one war just to fight another one.

6. He was shot by soldiers before detonating himself. Shot by soldiers. The soldiers were already on scene to do the shooting because they are permanently stationed in the city just as they are in France and England. Two kinds of places have soldiers on the streets like that: banana republics and nations under siege. That your pick.

7. Finally, just take a look at the following picture: a city cop, two armed soldiers in full combat gear, and a beautiful native woman crouching in terror:

Europe Faces the Choice of Either Halting the Invasion or Losing Their Cultures, Civilizations, and Freedoms

It’s win or lose.

Right now, the losers have it, at least in France. The French decided to forego the pro-French candidate and are even now beginning to reap their rewards. Macron is making the post-Charlie Hebdo temporary emergency police powers permanent.

Emmanuel Macron very quickly made it official: He will introduce a bill which will transform extraordinary state of emergency powers into regular police practice.

According to Le Monde, which saw a leaked copy of the bill: “…almost all the measures of the state of emergency will be found in common law.”

What this means is that the post-Charlie Hebdo war hysteria has not only never stopped, but will have become the new, permanent normal: Anyone can be arrested, searched and detained with just a simple accusation. Judges simply need to be “informed”; police have carte blanche.

So…when can I start referring to France as an “authoritarian state” without getting edited?

Diversity is our strength. It is also a permanent police state. Freedoms lost and the enemy still among them. Nice.

A better, more realistic, and far prettier politician, Rome’s mayor, Virginia Raggi, is screaming for a halt to the invasion. At least a temporary halt.

The mayor of Rome, Virginia Raggi, has asked the Italian government to temporarily halt immigration to the city.

In a letter reportedly sent to Paola Basilone, the prefect of Rome, Raggi (pictured) called for a “moratorium” on new arrivals and said: “I find it impossible, as well as risky, to think up further accommodation structures.”

The mayor, a member of the anti-establishment Five Star Movement political party, explained she was making the request because of the “strong migratory presence” in Rome and “the continued influx of foreign citizens”.

It’s not clear how long the temporary ban, reported by thelocal.it, would last.

According to the most recent figures published in Italy on January 1, 2016, there were 364,632 foreign-born people registered as living in Rome, which has a metropolitan population of about 4.35 million. Foreigners represent about eight per cent of its population.

According to the 2016 census, Italy has a population of about 60.5 million. However, it has experienced a steady flow of African and Middle Eastern migration from Libya in recent years, almost certainly blurring the true picture of how many people live in the country.

Figures released by the National Institute for Statistics in Italy (Istat) today state that more than five million people living in the country are foreign-born – equivalent to about 8.3 percent of the national population.

A temporary ban would be a good temporary start until a permanent ban and deportations can be arranged.

 

Yes, Virginia, there is a problem. And unless your government and others on the Continent halt it, it is going to overwhelm and destroy Christendom. And soon. The migration is just getting started.

The migrants pouring into Europe have changed routes: the crossing between Turkey and Greece is practically closed, but ever greater numbers are risking their lives to cross the Mediterranean between Libya and Italy.

A criminal industry has flourished, while the European Union has beefed up its border agency Frontex to try to check the mass migration.

Frontex is at once both good cop and bad cop, rescuing migrants from sinking boats but also dropping them off at welcome centres where they risk being sent back home.

Frontex head Fabrice Leggeri summed up the situation in an interview with AFP.

– Who are the migrants? –

On the shores of Greece there are now “80 or 100 people who arrive every day, whereas we had 2,500 a day” before the agreement with Turkey, said Leggeri.

Among those who arrive from Africa via the central Mediterranean and Libya, whose number is up by more than 40 percent, most come from west Africa. They are Senegalese, Guineans, Nigerians. In 2016 they totalled 180,000.

They are mainly economic migrants and include many young men but also families and young women. Nigerian women are often exploited as prostitutes in Europe.

Young men of fighting age, a few prostitutes, and more than a few Jihadists. A lovely, police state-inducing additive. There’s a supply of about 700 MILLION! who would happily invade Europe tomorrow, free transportation allowed. It must stop. The invasion must cease and the existing intruders must be sent home.

The way to stop THIS:

…may be as simple as a law and a sign reading, “No Invaders Allowed.” If that fails…

This Won’t:

ISIS Promises More Terror for the U.S. and Europe, Expert Says It’s Coming

As bad as it already is, it is certain to spread.

Recent acts of terror in Europe are the “new normal” — and surely coming soon to the United States, former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton ominously warned Sunday.

Evildoers have stepped up attacks on soft targets — such as London Bridge, Manchester Arena and Bastille Day in Nice — in the past 12 months, making a similar terrorist strike on American soil inevitable, Bratton told “The Cats Roundtable.”

…

Bratton blamed porous European borders for exacerbating the problem.

“The open-border situation in Europe is compounding the problem,” said Bratton, who served as NYPD commish in two stints, 1994-96 and 2014-16. “It [hinders the effort] of trying to keep track of people who identify as terrorists or having terrorist leanings.”

And you don’t have to take a counter-terrorism expert’s word for it; ISIS calls for more attacks.

The Islamic State group is calling on supporters to carry out attacks in the United States and Europe during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan that began two weeks ago.

In an audiotape circulated online Monday, spokesman Abu al-Hassan al-Muhajer praised last week’s attacks in Iran’s capital, saying the country is “weaker than a spider’s web” and calling for more assaults.

Al-Muhajer also called for attacks in Russia and Australia, saying “heaven is reached under the shadow of swords.”

ISISflag2

Aleppo, Paris, or New York. pri.org.

Bratton is 100% correct about the open borders. That governments, Washington included, continue to allow in the hordes while knowing that some of them are actively engaged in war against the host nations is utterly insane.

Looking at the problem globally, the biggest issue has to be the migration factor. ISIS’s playground is in Syria, Iraq, etc. That’s their backyard. But for them to reach Europe, Russia, the U.S., and Australia, the logistics are only made possible by idiot pols allowing the influx. Again I say leave them in their backyards and keep them out of ours.

Mind-boggling.

The State Department sometimes does American travelers a service by issuing warnings about certain dangerous or unstable regions. They don’t want our citizens stumbling into war zones or third world violence. Thus, it is rather telling they have issued such a statement: warning against travel to … Europe – the entire continent.

The U.S. State Department issued a travel alert for Europe on Monday, saying U.S. citizens should be aware of a continued threat of terrorist attacks throughout the continent.

In the alert, the State Department cited recent incidents in France, Russia, Sweden and the United Kingdom and said Islamic State and al Qaeda “have the ability to plan and execute terrorist attacks in Europe.”

The State Department’s previous travel alert for Europe, issued ahead of the winter holiday season, expired in February. A State Department official said Monday’s alert was not prompted by a specific threat, but rather recognition of the continuing risk of attacks especially ahead of the summer holidays. The alert expires on Sept. 1.

Malls, government facilities, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, parks, airports and other locations are all possible targets for attacks, the State Department’s alert said.

The UK boldly goes where no European country has gone before!

Theresa May will issue an appeal to the country to “come together” as she formally launches the process for the UK to leave the European Union.

Nine months after the divisive Brexit referendum last June, the Prime Minister will officially trigger Article 50 in a letter that will be hand delivered in Brussels.

At the same time, in a statement to MPs in the Commons, she will pledge to get the right deal for everyone in the UK, including EU nationals living in this country.

“We are one great union of people and nations with a proud history and a bright future,” she will say.

“And, now that the decision has been made to leave the EU, it is time to come together.”

Brexit

“Dear EU: Later losers.” Sky News.

There’s still a potential two-years of red tape; the exit process could be draconian. Could be – no one has ever done it before. Whatever it takes, it will be worth it. No Brit can serve London and Brussels.

We could have used an Article 50 in that … what was it called? Constitution… The 1860’s might have been a lot more peaceful.

God Bless England!

What Kind of Leads do They Really Need?

The woes of monitoring the Mohammedan invasion of Europe- poor MI5:

Because of his age, Westminster terrorist Khalid Masood does not fit the profile of a suicide attacker. Fifty-two is about double the norm.

But being a local-born extremist, and radicalised in prison, is typical.

The attackers of 7/7, Madrid, Paris, Nice, Charlie Hebdo and Lee Rigby were almost all local volunteers striking at soft targets – in common with the pattern seen for atrocities in the Islamic world.

There are relatively few exceptions to this, although they include the 9/11 hijackers and the Berlin truck attacker Anis Amri, a radical from Tunisia (via prison in Italy).

Masood shows the scale of the challenge MI5 faces. The security services are monitoring more than 3,000 Islamist extremists in the UK.

Masood (not his birth name) wasn’t among those “top” 3,000 threats, although he was long ago investigated, with little evidence to suggest the convert was more than a “peripheral” figure.

While Isis has claimed him as its “soldier”, there is no evidence the group knew in advance of the attack, or had any contact with him. Try stopping that.

Theresa May struck a dignified tone as she led tributes to PC Keith Palmer. The former Home Secretary left any talk of extra powers for MI5 for another day.

3,000!? If that was even close to the real number of problem persons, they would be lucky. I offer a better metric: anyone who does not fit the general British demographic of, say, 1900 (or 1800, or 1500) should be considered an invader and a threat. Better yet, just look for scenes like this:

That’s a sure sign there’s trouble in the neighborhood.

Meet Khalid Masood, A Well-Known “Asian” Man

It’s amazing. In the U.S., any city, any state, when there is a heinous crime, the news media always seems to have a photograph of the perpetrator ready to go. Nine times out of ten it seems to be a previous mug shoot, frequently for a previous felony. Draw what conclusions you will from that.

With the terrorist attacks, like the one yesterday in London, it’s much the same thing. Khalid Masoon,52, is (was) the native-born attacker from yesterday’s horrible attack. True to script, today, we know just about everything about him.

Muslim convert former English teacher Khalid Masood, 52, who mowed down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before storming Parliament and stabbing a police officer to death, was born in Kent but later moved to the West Midlands.

…

Scotland Yard said serial offender Masood, who was born on Christmas Day, had previous convictions for assaults, including GBH, possession of offensive weapons and public order offences.

He had not been convicted of any terror offences, and was not subject to any investigations at the time of the atrocity.

Masood’s first conviction was in November 1983 for criminal damage and his last conviction was in December 2003 for possession of a knife.

The Met police said there was “no prior intelligence about his intent to mount a terrorist attack”.

They added: “Anyone with any information about Masood can call the Anti-Terrorist Hotline 0800 789 321.”

The killer was known by a number of aliases including Khalid Choudri, according to Sky News.

Theresa May earlier revealed MI5 intelligence chiefs had previously investigated 52-year-old Khalid Masood but dismissed him as a “peripheral figure”.

The murderous rampage was only stopped when the Defence Minister’s protection officer drew his gun, shooting the extremist up to three times.

Previous convictions. Known to the police. Ongoing investigations. What else is new?

These people are in our societies. That is obvious and accepted. They are no more British than the are decent. No matter where they were born, they do not fit into their “home” societies. They are violent, dangerous aliens. There is no doubt or question. Why, then, are they allowed to stay? Why in the name of all decency do we allow these savages to exist among us, waiting for something like the Parliament attack?

Seven or eight other suspect were arrested overnight across England, suspected in the attack. What will become of them? They should be executed if involved and exiled if only “peripheral” figures. Why wait for next time?

How many more innocent people like Kurt Cochran have to die?

nintchdbpict00031101009531

Cochran. Sun (UK).

The Jihadis have a ready answer: “all of them”.

The police in Antwerp were a little more proactive today. They shot an attacker to death before he got going with a similar attack. Odds are, he is well-known to the police and intel communities. Why wait until the last-minute?

It’s time to send these incompatible monsters anywhere but here, in the West. This is open and declared war whether we want it or not. Time to start fighting.

Terror Dusseldorf, a Case for Axe Control

A man from Kosovo wounded multiple people with an axe at a train station in Dusseldorf.

Seven people including two police officers were injured when a man wielding an axe went on the rampage at a train station in Dusseldorf.

The suspected culprit, identified as Fatmir H, from Kosovo, has been arrested and German anti-terror police confirmed they are not hunting anyone else.

The 36-year-old ran towards a nearby underground station and jumped from a bridge as he attempted to flee.

Maybe if more Germans had concealed handguns, these guys wouldn’t be so busy. Getty / Daily Mail.

Police, per the script, initially said the attack is not terrorism-related. I’m sure the victims would beg to differ. Let’s see: Fatmir from Kosovo… Maybe. Maybe not. Time will tell barring a cover up.

One thing that cannot go unaddressed any longer is the proliferation of axes in Western societies. Truth be known, only the police, the military, and maybe firemen need high cutting-capacity “assault” axes. Civilians should, for now, be content with plastic knives from KFC. When will this madness end?
