From Twitter:
* The French have it precisely right: Strict gun control + tons o’ Islamic refugees = zero terrorism!
* I loathe Trump’s putative pick for VP. He’s just another standard Republican conservative who sees the New Testament as a practical guide to government and who supported every free trade/open borders agreement that ever came across his desk. If Trump is elected, we will be one medical crisis away from another George Walker Bush presidency.
* For starters, if you want to put faces on these sawbucks, you need to consider the actual gazillionaires putting their money into actual organizations and individuals. They and their moneyfunnels are so numerous, esoteric, secretive, complicated, and protean, they constitute a shadow policy making and agenda setting front.
Even the smaller organizations like BLM can have extraordinary impact on the sunlighted policy making and agenda setting, because they are relying on a larger matrix of organizations. (As we see with the MSM, which will ever report anything against The Narrative of their owners.)
Consider the names here, in the Democracy Alliance’s 2013 portfolio.
Heard of any of these? Does the name Tom Steyer mean anything to you?
Note that one sentence: “The analysis does not include money donated to nonprofits that aren’t required to reveal their contributors.”
How about Drummond Pike and his Tides Foundation, which he created to launder named money and assign it to a panoply of hastily cobbled together nonprofits…that can be fronts for private interests?
These “donor advised funds” both right and left are used by the UniParty–i.e., the billionaires–to make sure society never strays too far from their globalista plans for it. It is no wonder they are flatulating bricks as the peon voters have chosen to ignore them and their MSM. They didn’t expect this push-back. All they can do is call names and get hysterical. Hey, it’s worked till now!
So I cannot speak to anon’s specific scenario, but I do know that not nearly enough sunshine is brought to bear on these organizations and their funding individuals.
I would think at this point in Internet history that every major news outlet would have a “philanthropy watch” or “nonprofit watch” expert or department. Just to let the little people know where the money is, who’s giving it, where it’s coming from, and how it informing the story they are reading.
I would think at this point that any news story that talked about, say, BLM, would have a little sidebar on who they are, who funds them, and such, and links to this information online. Of course most news content these days is press releases from these organizations or their funders. And many journalists and editors work in an revolving-door relationship to these funders and organizations.
Speaking from an investigative journalism perspective, it takes a lot of work to dig into this stuff. But even researching Form 990s for these organizations can be extraordinarily revealing. One can quickly see that there are relatively few purse-holders disbursing their Wall Street gains via a protean assembly of nonprofits…with a relatively restricted set of political stances.
So in conclusion, whether Trump wins or Hillary does, at present, the carefully hidden and secretive globalista billionaire kraken will continue to tentaculate behind the scenes and through every issue we read about.
* Their time preference is too high for that kind of strategizing. Occam’s razor would suggest that they’re simply chimping out as much as theyre allowed to get away with.
* So do you guys think they’ll postpone tomorrow’s Day of Rage, in the light of Nice?
If they do, that’ll prove they have at least a little bit of sense.
WSJ: JERUSALEM—Israel’s peace camp and its international backers have long used one crude but powerful argument: Arabs make more babies than Jews and unless a separate Palestinian state is created, a demographic time bomb will turn Jews into a dwindling minority akin to white South Africans.
That prospect certainly seemed real when the Oslo peace process began in the 1990s. Fertility among Israeli Jews stood at an average of 2.6 children per woman, compared with 4.7 among Muslims in Israel and East Jerusalem and 6.0 among Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Yasser Arafat at the time famously declared that the womb of the Palestinian woman was his people’s most potent weapon.
Yet over the past decade, a demographic revolution with long-lasting political consequences has occurred. Jewish birthrates in Israel have spiked while Arab birthrates in the Palestinian territories and elsewhere in the Middle East have declined. This unlikely baby boom has made many Israeli Jews a lot less afraid of being outnumbered—one of the underappreciated reasons why the country’s voters have consistently rewarded politicians opposed to Palestinian statehood and to relinquishing land.
“When you are motivated by fear, you seek to preserve demography by giving away geography,” explained Yoram Ettinger, a former Israeli ambassador and right-wing activist who has been active in publicizing the impact of Israel’s rising birthrate. “But if you examine Israel’s demographics realistically, there is no need to think in such terms.”
The Jewish fertility rate in Israel was 3.11 per woman in 2014, the last full year for which data is available, while among the Arab citizens of Israel and East Jerusalem residents it was only a notch higher at 3.17, according to Israel’s statistics bureau. Palestinian fertility rates have fallen to 3.7 in the West Bank from 5.6 in 1997, and to 4.5 from 6.9 children in the Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian statistics bureau.
“There will be no demographic time bomb,” Israel’s defense minister and right-wing politician Avigdor Lieberman said in an interview before his recent appointment. “Birthrates in the Arab and Jewish sectors will continue converging, while we also hope that a considerable part of Jews from Western Europe, and also from North America, will come here.” Jewish immigration last year, from countries such as France and Ukraine, was at the highest level since 2003.

* A mostly white city full of white people gathered together celebrating Bastille Day. The Bataclan was also full of rock music fans – ie white people. Last week we heard reports of ISIS telling followers to attack whites in the US. I’m stating the obvious but it’s not just about religious fanaticism.
* Below are some comments that Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld made the other day regarding Paris, in an interview with CNN.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Karl Lagerfeld said the city that his company has called home since 1909 is now an unsafe “nightmare.”
He has lived and worked in Paris since the mid 1950s — said the city resembles nothing like the “old French movies” it used to look like.
“This is not the most glamorous moment in Paris,” Lagerfeld told CNN Style’s Derek Blasberg ahead of an upcoming show. “Paris by night is a nightmare now. It is not a cliché anymore.”
“I must say, in my whole life I never saw Paris that gloomy,” he added.
The designer said the streets of Paris have become significantly more unsafe in the years since he first got his start in the 1950s under the tutelage of French fashion legend Pierre Balmain.
“It was another world. There was no feeling of danger, and not even a boy of 16 years old could walk in the street,” Lagerfeld told CNN. “Things are changing, but I have a feeling I lived in a world that no longer exists.”
Still, he says, “Paris has to make an effort to become Paris again.”
* More people died in this Islamic terrorist attack in Nice, France than in the 1989 San Francisco earthquake.
Islam is more deadly than a lot of natural disasters.
* On the contrary, Muslims need room space (Lebensraum) to find even newer dhimmis to live off of. Islam is about invading other countries, by stealth or force, then grow in numbers by outnumbering and converting the locals, and exploiting the unbelievers. It’s a Ponzi scheme: once everybody is Muslim and dumb as a brick through inbreeding and reading the Koran, there’s nobody left to exploit and they need a new country to invade, convert and tax.
* On Hillary’s twitter account she was tweeting about Trump and the Mexican judge. I guess she was speaking to a latino group today, so her twitter feed is filled with pro-Mexican messages.
Anyway I was with a neighbor who was getting tired about the Mexican judge affair and thought it was over. He then made a nice observation. He noted that the Mexican judge could certainly be biased because one of our Supreme Court justices just showed how biased she was this week when she said she would move to another nation if Trump gets elected.
I thought it was a nice comparison and hopefully the Trump team will use it if the media try to suggest again that judges aren’t biased. If our great SC justice Ginsburg is biased, any judge can be biased.
The rage of young blacks against the police has taken on dimensions not just of a protest but a rebellion. Fully two thirds (65 per cent) of US blacks support the Black Lives Matter movement, even as it has come to question the very legitimacy of the forces of order. In the days after the Dallas shooting, one of the group’s leaders, Alicia Garza, told the New Yorker, ‘Black Lives Matter is about justice for black people who are being murdered at the hands of the state.’
This view of American society is consistent with what the veteran civil rights leader the Revd Jesse Jackson said about Mike Brown’s killing (‘a state execution’) and with a passage by the polemicist Ta-Nehisi Coates which, last summer, became so popular among Facebook sharers and banner makers that it served as the unofficial Black Lives slogan: ‘In America, it is traditional to destroy the black body — it is heritage.’ Just why so much of this destruction should be carried out under the aegis of the country’s first black President, and in black-run cities, is something of a mystery. Dallas has a black police chief. Baton Rouge has a black mayor. Baltimore has a black mayor, a black public prosecutor and a black police chief, and three of the six officers tried in the Freddie Gray case were black.
Coates’s view is that white people have always practiced genocide against black people. If fighting genocide is your cause, almost no tactic is off-limits. The leaders of Black Lives Matter crossed a Rubicon this week when they decided to proceed with protests even after the killings of policemen in Dallas.
“There is a reason why political activists usually halt campaigning when violence is done in the name of anything that resembles their cause. Both sides in the Brexit referendum obeyed this imperative in the wake of the killing of Jo Cox. In US cities, such caution has been thrown to the wind. ‘You can’t stop the revolution,’ marchers chanted in Chicago over the weekend. ‘It’s not a setback at all,’ a BLM activist told the New York Times, referring to the Dallas massacre. ‘That’s showing the people of this country that black people are getting to a boiling point.’ For all the talk of racism, there has been a reckless inattention to the possibility that non-black citizens might have a boiling point too.
A week before the Republican convention in Cleveland, street politics is destabilising electoral politics. The events of early July have shifted the presidential campaign seismically. There may be a choice this November between public order and the agenda of Black Lives Matter.
Historically, American voters have preferred the former. An April article in Salon magazine predicted that Black Lives Matter would be the ‘Secret Turnout Ally’ of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. But this only means that Clinton will have a bigger challenge getting on the majority’s side. Her party’s route to the White House requires turning out black voters in high numbers and taking 90 per cent of their votes. Donald Trump, meanwhile, has been campaigning for months as if the coming election will be a referendum on whether the country backs the cops or not. He has lined up important police endorsements and laid the predicate for a traditional law-and-order campaign of the sort Richard Nixon won with in 1968. For a variety of reasons, a majority of Americans would be reluctant to see Trump as their president just now. But under the pressure of violence and disorder, such reasons can become harder and harder to recall.”
