EU wants to stop YouTubers making videos criticizing their doomed project says UKIP

EU-backed copyright rules could force YouTube to ‘bank account’ holders from uploading their videos, according to Susan Wojcicki of YouTube.

In a message to account holders Susan warned that Article 13 “threatens to shut down the ability of millions of people – from creators like you to everyday users – to upload content to platforms like YouTube”.

Ms. Wojcicki warned that “It threatens to block users in the EU from viewing content that is already live on the channels of creators everywhere…”

Gerard Batten, UKIP Leader had this to say regarding the ulterior motives of the duplicitous Article 13:

“Article 13 has nothing to do with protecting the rights of artists and everything to do with shutting down independent political content on the internet.

“Internet memes play a major role in stoking up interest in political issues and disseminating ideas. Most memes use copyrighted materials under the existing ‘fair usage’ rules from popular culture – after all, using popular culture makes politics more interesting.

“The establishment sneer at anything popular, whether it’s popular culture or populist politics. The EU isn’t popular at all, which is why they want to stop YouTubers making videos criticising their doomed project.

“UKIP stands against this ridiculous law and we are working with prominent YouTubers Sargon of Akkad and Count Dankula to block it.”

After the mid-term election, Idlib will be cleansed of jihadis.

Putin said that Russia reserves its right to help eradicate terrorists in Idlib, should they continue with provocations and block establishment of a demilitarized zone there. The President noted that he had informed his “colleagues” about the situation and that artillery strikes on some targets had already been carried out.

Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), Jaysh al-Izza and Horas al-Din are the core of the groups, who are constantly violating the demilitarization agreement by shelling government targets in Aleppo, Lattakia, Hama and Idlib. On October 27th, Zubair al-Turkmani, a military commander of HTS in the Aleppo countryside, confirmed that the militants had shelled Syrian Arab Army troops near the town of Khan Tuman." SF

Whatever the outcome, a lot of present "facts" are going to change after the mid-term election. Trump will still be president and he will feel free to do things and accept things from which the pending election had restrained him.

There will be personnel changes at the top of many departments of the Executive Branch. There will be a second phase tax bill proposed. There will be an executive order ending birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants. There will be quite a lot of changes.

Among those will be an acceptance by the USG of a Russian/Syrian (R+6) offensive to clear Idlib Province of jihadis. IMO there is a "side deal" between POTUS and the Russians on this.

The Turks continue to play their dark annexation game with regard to Northern Syria. The Russians can easily make the case that the demilitarized zone has failed and that the jihadis continue to attack by fire targets in SAG held territory including the western suburbs of Aleppo City.

Syria is not a large country. It will be easy to concentrate maneuver reserves along the lines of departure for the offensive. pl

25% of world murders are in Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico and Columbia

With just 8% of the world’s population, Latin America accounts for roughly a third of global murders. It is also the only region where lethal violence has grown steadily since 2000, according to United Nations figures.

Nearly one in every four murders around the world takes place in just four countries: Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico and Colombia. Last year, a record 63,808 people were murdered in Brazil. Mexico also set a record at 31,174, with murders so far this year up another 20%.

• Large drug and organized crime problem. Latin America supplies a lot of the US illegal drug demand

• Latin America has more young people than most other regions

• high youth unemployment

• weak educational systems. Only 27% of Brazilians aged 25 or older have completed high school

In the 1950s, Singapore and Caracas had very similar murder rates, between 6 to 10 per 100,000 residents, according to Manuel Eisner, who studies historical levels of violence at the Violence Research Centre in Cambridge, U.K.

Singapore suffered from gangs, prostitution, drug trafficking and corruption. But after independence in 1962, authoritarian Lee Kwan Yew enforced rule of law, boosted education, and created a culture of working hard and achievement, and ensured social integration.

Singapore’s murder rate is 0.4 per 100,000 residents. The nongovernmental Venezuelan Violence Observatory estimates the country’s murder rate is roughly 110 per 100,000—about 34,000 a year.

Not all of Latin America has this problem. Chile’s murder rate of 3.6 per 100,000 is less the U.S. rate of about 5 per 100,000. In 2016, the estimated number of murders in the USA was 17,250.

January–August 2018: 406,000 "Refugees" Have Demanded Europeans Give them Food and Money

The nonwhite invasion of Europe continues without pause, and in the first eight months of 2018, just over 406,000 “applications for international protection”—that is, demands for food, money, and shelter—were lodged by fake refugees in the European Union, new figures show.

According to the latest “asylum statistics” issued by the EU’s European Asylum Office (EASO), just above 48,000 “applications for international protection” were lodged in EU during August, bringing the total for the year to date to 406,000.

Applications lodged by “self-claimed unaccompanied minors (UAMs)” accounted for about three percent of the August total, and a third of these UAMs originated from just two countries: Afghanistan (18 percent) and Pakistan (13 percent), the EASO figures revealed.

“The highest concentration of self-claimed UAMs, however, continued to be among applicants from Vietnam (13 percent of all Vietnamese applicants claimed to be UAMs), followed by those from Eritrea, Ethiopia and The Gambia (9 percent each).

The main countries of origin of applicants in August were Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkey and Iran.

Overall, Syrians lodged fewer applications (-15 %), whereas Iraqis lodged more applications (+12 %) than during the previous month.

Turkish nationals continued to be one the largest groups of applicants in the EU. Iranians lodged increasing numbers of applications (+ 19 percent) for the third consecutive month, reaching the highest level so far in 2018.

Significantly, there has been a fall in applications during August by Nigerians (-453, -21 percent) and Eritreans (-346, -20 percent), with both groups lodging “fewer applications than at any other point so far this year.” This decline is likely due to the new Italian government’s refusal to allow the leftist fake charity invader taxi service ships to operate as before.

At the same time, the EASO statement said, EU countries issued 43,725 “decisions at first instance in August,” about a thousand more than in July.

Most of the decisions continued to be issued to applicants from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Nigeria and Pakistan. In fact, two fifths of all first-instance decisions related to citizens from these five countries of origin. Of these citizenships, all but Pakistanis were issued more decisions in August compared to July.

The overall EU recognition rate for decisions issued between March and August was 33 percent, down from 35 percent in the previous semester. More or less two thirds of all positive decisions granted refugee status, with the remainder granting subsidiary protection.

Among citizenships with the most decisions, the highest recognition rates in the past six months were for nationals of Syria (85 percent), Yemen (83 percent), Eritrea (82 percent) and Palestine (73 percent).

At the end of August, there were 378,490 applications awaiting a decision in first instance. However, Eurostat data relating to the first four months of 2018 suggest that the overall number of cases pending at all instances in EU countries has been at least double the number of cases pending at first instance.

Co-Founder of Group Opposed to School Choice Sends Her Kids To Charter School

Remember when Obama, whose daughters attended the prestigious Sidwell Friends School, tried to destroy the school voucher program in DC, which had given an opportunity for minority kids to attend better schools?

Via Washington Examiner.

Sharon Kirsch, co-founder of Save Our Schools in Arizona (a group that vehemently opposes school choice) was recently outed for sending her children to a charter school….

School choice is apparently okay for Kirsch, but not for the other families in her state. According to the Save our Schools’ website, the founders were “heartsick and angry” when a school voucher bill passed the Arizona legislature. The voucher bill expanded the same choice of schools that Kirsch and other middle-to-upper income families already had to families of lesser means.

Charter schools, though technically designated as public schools, are run by private organizations and individuals. Kirsch, in her critique that the Arizona voucher bill would supposedly siphon “hundreds of millions” of dollars away from public schools with “almost zero accountability” ironically participates in the system she is criticizing. While there’s a difference between the private schools that accept vouchers and the charter schools attended by Kirsch’s children, Kirsch still believes choice is fine for her but not for Arizona families that want vouchers….

All politicians, pundits, celebrities, and citizens who oppose school choice must ask themselves if they have already exercised it. They have done so if they moved into a certain neighborhood for quality public schools or decided to enroll their children in a charter or private school – why deny other families the same chance?

Pressure mounts as fentanyl from China floods into the US

The synthetic version of heroin killed more than 27,000 Americans in 2017 and authorities are taking aim at one of the main sources of the drug – China

In late October, US President Donald Trump signed into law new legislation to address the problem and the US Department of Justice hosted its first “National Opioid Summit” on October 25, with US Attorney General Jeff Sessions delivering the keynote address.

Chinese drug labs

A growing number of US politicians agree that it is now time to take the necessary steps to ensure the arrest and punishment of people working in Chinese drug labs and operating huge distribution channels that lead to the deaths of thousands of Americans.

As well as the steps being taken by the Trump administration to address the problem, New Jersey Congressman Jeff Smith (R), who chairs the Global Health Subcommittee, has introduced legislation aimed directly at China. Smith is making it clear that further Congressional action is urgently needed to get Beijing to exercise more control over its huge underground industry.

“Synthetic fentanyl produced in China and exported to the US is ravaging our communities,” Smith said in a statement issued on October 26. “Although China would like to shirk responsibility and call this a purely a demand-driven phenomenon, the fact is Beijing is not doing enough to stop the supply.

Steppenwolf - God Dam The Pusher man

Paul Ryan shoots down Trump's birthright citizenship plans

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan poured cold water Tuesday on President Trump’s plan to issue an executive order ending birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants, saying “you obviously cannot do that.”

Mr. Ryan said it is hypocritical for a Republican president to do what the GOP complained about under President Obama in using executive powers to try to rewrite immigration law.

But he also went further and said he sees the constitutional question as settled, guaranteeing citizenship to most people born on U.S. soil even if to illegal immigrant parents.

“You cannot end birthright citizenship with an executive order. We didn’t like it when Obama tried to change immigration laws with executive actions,” he told WVLK radio in Kentucky.

He added: “Obviously as conservatives we believe in the Constitution. I think in this case the 14th Amendment’s pretty clear, and that would involve a very very lengthy constitutional process.”

Mr. Trump told online political outlet Axios in an interview released Tuesday that he will pursue an executive order on birthright citizenship.

“It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don’t,” Mr. Trump said.

MUSLIM HONOR KILLING? Two dead sisters bound together near the Hudson River were Saudi nationals

NY Daily News (h/t AZgal) The sisters first ran away in December, and when police found them authorities wouldn’t tell their mother where they were being placed, sources said.

The sisters moved to the U.S. in mid-2015, sources said. Their mom learned they went missing from the shelter in Aug. 24, and told police that they were seeking asylum in the U.S., adding that the Saudi government had ordered the entire family home.

Police found the sisters Wednesday afternoon near the river off W. 68th St. in Riverside Park. One was duct-taped on top of the other in a cross-like configuration, sources said.

The Gateway Pundit obtained a copy of the charges.

What we know: The woman is a “very credible witness.” Her story are corroborated. The incident happened in 2010 in New York City. The woman is a professional.

We will post the document shortly.

The Mueller apologists are already trashing the accuser — and don’t even know who she is!
