In Defence of Milo

I think Milo rocks

I think Milo is paying for being a conservative

I think Milo is being punished for being a Trump Supporter from the start

The commentary below, insightful, independent and brave as commentaries from Black Pigeon Speaks  usually are, was posted immediately after the "execution" of MILO and the cowardly "dis-invitation" of this brilliant speaker to the "very important  annual speak-feast" of Conservatives" CPAC

Since it was posted, Milo's publishers, Simon and Schuster (*)  have,  in predictable servility to the more strident  bullies, announced that they had cancelled their  publishing contract for Milo's upcoming book, and Milo has explained himself in a press conference and has resigned from Breitbart. Probably more has happened in the meanwhile, like a rather disappointing, virtue-signalling sermon from Stefan Molyneux  - (I'm a fan and it's the first time that  I gave him a thumbs down) - and yet, this commentary below remains fresh and relevant.

Just a couple of random thoughts after this: 

There was the wife of one of one of Australia's most popular Prime Ministers, Bob Hawke, Blanche d'Alpuget who revealed in 1993 that she had been sexually molested as a 12 year-old by a 54 year-old judge who was a family friend. Ms. d'Alpuget did not see herself as a victim either. Apart from a little tut-tutting, there was no condemnation of the lovely Blanche "coping" in her "own way" like Milo,  she was of the Left you see. 

Daniel Cohn-Bendit, leader of the Greens in the EU once extolled , on French TV, the pleasures he got from little 4 year old girls "playing with his penis" (you can google it) while working  as a kinder garden teacher; he was even more "forgiven" than a mere "leftie" since being of the  Left PLUS Green is a free pass to do just about anything. 

Herr Adolf Schickelgruber  actually was a bit of a greenie himself, and he certainly was  a socialist (his Party's name said so: National-SOZIALISTISCHE Partei = Nazis for short)  and so, he  obviously came from  the side of Milo's attackers. 

(*) (I hope that whoever replaces these cowardly 'Simon and Schuster' will make a lot of money and I will buy the book, of course) 

Cleaning up the UN at last !

 WOW !!!

could this be the crack 

where the light gets in?

P.S.: The only quibble I have with Nikki Haley is around Minute 1 of the video, where she accuses Syria's President, Bashar al-Assad of slaughtering hundreds of thousands of Civilians. It's my personal opinion that he did not "gas his own people, let alone children" as the Obama Administration and his numerous acolytes would have us believe. I did not believe it then, I do not believe it now and I never will. But I think the metaphor of "no omelets without breaking eggs" could apply here. 

Bibi goes to Washington

Although it's only the 2nd part of Netanyahu's and Trump's combined  News Conference held yesterday, it is still longer than the videos I usually post. But, if you like Israel, Bibi and Trump, as I do, you will enjoy it.  I was touched by  Bibi's obvious joy and relief to be among friends at last and it brought home to me how lonely and betrayed he (and the Jewish People of Israel ) must have felt during these loooooong and dark 8 years just past. 

A few quotes from the video: 




I liked Netanyahu's explanation of "why the Jews are called Jews":

"...Well, the Chinese are called Chinese because they come from China 

The Japanese are called Japanese because they come from Japan

and  Jews are called Jews because they come from Judea. 

This is our ancestral homeland...Jews are not foreign colonialists in Judea..." 

........

And he revealed something that is not widely known, or perhaps just well hidden about the ballistic Iranian missiles:

Netanyahu:  

"...By the way, these ballistic missiles are inscribed in Hebrew with "ISRAEL MUST BE DESTROYED"....they want to get to a nuclear Arsenal, not just a bomb, a hundred bombs..." 

He also  believes (accurately in my opinion), that "the issue of the settlements is not the core of the conflict, nor does it really drive the conflict..."  but he agrees that it has to be discussed and considered. 

And to close, a cute quote from Trump: 

"...Over the next 3, 4 or 8 years you are going to see a very different America, ....you are going to see a lot of love .....  a lot of love." 

Australian Senator explains Sharia Law

Jacquiline Louise "Jacqui" Lambie", an Australian Senator, explains - succinctly and well I think - why Sharia Law is an 'anti-democratic cancer that doesn't belong in a free society'. 

Independent Senator for Tasmania Jacqui Lambie has followed up her fiery clash with a vulgarly strident Sharia law Supporter on tax-payer-funded, islamophile ABC TV (whose main "news" source is Al Jazeera) with the release of a YouTube interview which explains why Sharia Law is an anti – democratic cancer that doesn’t belong in a free society.

Transcript:

“Like most Australians I’m not an expert in Sharia law – but I’m going to make 6 quick obvious points. Sharia Law is:

1) Not Australian Law

2) Support for Sharia is an obvious sign of radicalisation and Terrorists are fighting to the death to force it on the rest of the world.

3) Sharia Law is Anti-democratic (show me a successful democracy in the Middle East..)

4) Sharia Law imposes the death penalty on Gay people for being Gay.

5) Sharia Law imposes the death penalty on women who are unfaithful to their husbands.

6) Sharia Law denies the right of Jewish people to live in peace in Israel.

• If you want a technical description of Sharia Law – it is religious, criminal and civil law all rolled into one code – it has no separation of powers and automatically makes Religious figures: Law Makers, Judges, Jury and in some cases executioners.

• If you support Sharia law – you accept the all the good bits and all the bad bits. 

• Highlighting and accepting the “good bits” of Sharia Law – like praying 5 times a day while at the same time – ignoring the death penalty for women who have sex outside marriage – is like saying, I only want to be a little bit pregnant.

• Acceptance of Sharia Law – is clear sign of divided loyalty. You are loyal to some religious leader in the Middle East and his rulings – not to the Australian constitution and our democratic system of government.

Sharia Law is an anti – democratic cancer that doesn’t belong in a free society and fails to respects the basic Human Rights of Women, Gay and Jewish people.” said Senator Lambie."

While on the whole,  Jacquie Lambie is a little too far left for me, I do admire her more conservative side such as her  feisty and courageous stand against the creeping (some would say, galloping) islamisation of the West, specifically of Australia in the Senator's case. I also like the assistance she seems to  give to the War Veterans (being one herself) and  her endearing passion for her native Tasmania. 

More on the feisty Senator from the Apple Isle, here on Wikipedia. 

Marine LePen is in the House

The next Président of France, I hope. 

I am a CONSERVATIVE...

...and so, according to the inimitable Paul Joseph Watson, I am actually "cool" and those who still sneer at my right-wingery are the real  dags, because Conservatism is the NEW Counter-Culture. So there !  Pfffffttt !!!

The definition of a Millennial taken from the Urban Dictionary

Special little snowflake.

Born between 1982 and 1994 this generation is something special, cause Mom and Dad and their 5th grade teacher Mrs. Winotsky told them so.  Plus they have a whole shelf of participation trophies sitting at home so it has to be true.

They believe themselves to be highly intelligent, the teachers and lecturers constantly gave them "A"s in order to keep Mom and Dad from complaining to the Dean. Unfortunately, nobody explained to them the difference between an education and grade inflation so they tend to demonstrate poor spelling and even poorer grammar.

At work, Millennials believe themselves to be overachievers who just aren't understood by their loser bosses. Even Mom said so when she showed up for the interview. They are the only generation in the universe to understand the concept of work life balance and to actually want to find a fulfilling career. All those Gen X losers just don't get it what with hoping to keep their jobs and pay the bills, but they are just corporate drones so who cares what they think? They should be smart like Millennials and get Mom and Dad to pay for that stuff until they can work out what they want to do with their lives and then get rich doing it.

Well, I've been here at this job for 6 months now and I've been on time mostly so I should get a raise now 'cause I've paid my dues. 

Did you know we are the most technologically advanced generation, like evah? And smart too. They call us millennials cause we were born before the millennial I think.

The Easy Way to a German Passport

Would the poster of this video at  "Face of a Dying Nation" be just a little  "cynical" in her editorial, I wonder?

"Published on Feb 9, 2017

The phenomenon of childless and bitter elderly Western women looking for exotic adventures abroad with African gigolos who proceed to exploit their gullibility for citizenship in a Western country is not new. But more and more frequently, "leftover" European women get involved with the newly arrived young African men, called "Syrian Refugees" by the media, and subsequently get tricked into citizenship scams. The African males see conning old ladies as pathway to "become a German" faster. Usually their lulling words of "I love you" don't come exactly straight from the heart as they abandon the ladies as soon as they get their papers."

I think it just has to be  TRUE LOVE, since the "Syrian Refugee" obviously does not even mind, that his Cougar has forgotten to put her dentures in.  

On the other hand, these "Syrian Refugees" seem to have a way with the perimenopausal Ladies: (yes I know: miaow)

Canada's Mosques command the Killing of Jews

This  islamic "sermon" comes  from a Mosque in Trudeau's  Canada, but according to a very brave EX-Muslima, Sandra Solomon, this hate speech, calling openly for the extermination of Jews is not limited to the country who now has a mini-Obama at the wheel, it is repeated all over the place, in countries with islamophile Führers like Merkel's Germany, Hollande's France, WhatsHisName's Netherlands. And even in countries that have finally voted for  leaders that are more than a shiver in search of a spine, the invitations to kill Jews and Kuffars (metaphorically and literally) continue to be issued  and, alas, accepted  all too often. 

Do take the time to read the sub-titles (*) - (I had to push the stop-button several times to check that I was seeing alright) - and admire the courage of this  young woman who has  several interviews on Vlad Tepes  where I found this video.

  

First they came for the Jews

and I did not speak out

because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Communists

and I did not speak out

because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists

and I did not speak out

because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me

and there was no one left

to speak out for me. 

Martin Niemöller

(*) I have now found the transcript of this islamic incitement to genocide at the excellent Gates of Vienna who add the following: 

"...The words spoken by Sayed Al-Ghitawi, the imam of the mosque, are not significantly different from those spoken by any imam at any other prayer service there or at any other mosques. Those chanted passages are, after all, standard Islamic invocations drawn directly from the Koran and the Sunna.

Jonathan Halevi of CIJ News and Sandra Solomon are demanding that this imam be charged with violations of the criminal code against incitement to genocide..."

Trump's border control worries French patriots

I like the title of this little article in Résistance Républicaine by Christine Tasin (one of the most courageous French Women I know) and one of the comments because of the poignant and very french  gallows humour . (French patriots are fighting a very heavy and corrupt Socialist Power Machine and a  rather frightened population.) 

Trump interdit à nombre de musulmans d’entrer aux USA ? 

Ils vont venir chez nous, Marine, vite !

So Trump is banning a certain number of Muslims to enter the US ? 

They will come to us, Marine quick !

Il n’y va pas de main morte.

Détermination, efficacité, rapidité.

Hier Trump a signé le décret suspendant le programme américain d’admission des réfugiés qui avait été créé en 1980 et aurait permis d’accueillir, depuis, 2,5 millions de personnes, soit une moyenne de 675000 réfugiés par an. Une moyenne, par exemple, en 2016, il y avait eu 85000 réfugiés accueillis dont 10000 Syriens.

Trump a décidé que le maximum serait dorénavant de 50000 personnes accueillies chaque année.

Le décret signé hier, « Protéger la nation contre l’entrée de terroristes étrangers aux États-Unis »suspend pendant 4 mois ce programme et interdit pendant 3 mois l’entrée des « migrants » venant d’ Irak, Iran, Libye, Somalie, Soudan et Yémen.

Les Etats-Unis, jusqu’alors, étaient pourtant bien plus précautionneux que les Européens qui laissent entrer qui veut et ensuite, ensuite seulement se demandent si ces illégaux peuvent vraiment prétendre devenir des réfugiés. On sait les dérives, les Cologne et autres Jungle que cette politique amène. Les Etats-Unis n’accueillent pas de « clandestin musulmans », ils trient les demandes des futurs réfugiés, allant jusqu’à aller interroger les demandeurs au Moyen Orient…  Bref, tout cela est logique et on en hait encore plus Bruxelles et Schengen quand on voit ce qu’ils sont capables de faire aux Etats-Unis.

A présent ce sera encore plus difficile pour les musulmans du Moyen Orient de s’installer aux Etats-Unis, il y aura sans doute des filtres au niveau des qualifications dont le pays aurait besoin en sus des enquêtes de moralité.

Translation: 

He does not beat around the bush.

Determination, efficiency, speed.

Yesterday Trump signed the decree suspending the US program for the admission of refugees which had been established in 1980 and would have allowed 2.5 million people, ie an average of 675,000 refugees a year. For example, in 2016, an average of 85,000 refugees were welcomed including 10,000 Syrians.

Trump decided that the maximum intake per year from now on would be 50,000 people 

The decree signed yesterday, "Protecting the nation from the entry of foreign terrorists into the United States" suspended this program for 4 months and banned the entry of "migrants" coming from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

The United States, were already far more cautious than the Europeans who lets in anyone and only wonders afterwards if these illegals can really claim to become refugees. We know the drifts in Cologne and other Jungles that this policy brings. The United States do not welcome "Illegal Muslims" , they sort out the demands of future refugees, going as far as questioning the applicants in the Middle East ... In short, all this is logical and we hate Brussels and Schengen even more when We see what they are capable of doing in the United States.

Now it will be even harder for Muslims from the Middle East to settle in the United States, and there will probably be filters at the level of qualifications needed by the country in addition to morality surveys.

This comment puts the situation in France into a nutshell:

claude t.a.l 28 janvier 2017 at 13 h 05 min

Trump interdit l’arrivée personnes venant de certains pays musulmans. Mais alors, je ne peux plus aller aux Etats Unis ?

(Je suis Francais).

Trump bans the arrival of people coming from certain muslim countries. Well, does that mean that I can no longer go to the United States ? 

(I'm French).

Here is a song that now, with the departure of Obama, will become obsolete - at least  for a good long while:

On chante pour toi Ilan

Rerésente Israël, le peuple à l'Eternel.

Fofana c'est pour toi !

Ilan fréro, tu n'avais que 23 ans 

Tu n'as pas eu le temps d'avoir des enfants 

Tu n'as pas eu le temps d'être parent. 

A cause de qui à cause de quoi? De cette putain de Fofana. 

On pense tous à toi ici 

Depuis qu'ils t'ont enlevé la vie 

On sait que t'es déjà au paradis 

Et quand j'y repense, 

Chui triste à cause de ces putains de racistes 

Chui écoeuré, attristé de voir ce qu'ils t'ont fait, 

Ils t'ont mis à pieds dans cette putain de cité. 

Même si t'es déjà au Gan Eden à côté de Hashem 

C'est à cause de ce sale fasciste qui a pris un gros risque 

En touchant à notre frère, moi j'te dis si t'as rien à faire 

FOFANA VA NIQUER TA MÈRE ! 

Ouais, Fofana sale bâtard. 

(refrain) 

Ilan fréro, on va te venger 

Parce que ces putains d'enculés ils t'ont fait souffrir 

Parce que ces putains d'enculés ils t'ont fait mourir. 

(X2) 

Tu fais zarma t'es le cerveau des barbares mais en scrète 

T'es rien qu'un p'tit bâtard tu vas jusqu'en Côte d'Ivoire. 

Espèce de salaud, 

Parce que tu sais qu'un jour 

Les juifs auront ta peau. 

Alors maintenant j'te préviens 

Si un jour t'es devant moi 

J'te dis d'avance mec, 

C'est mort pour toi ! 

Pourquoi autant de violence 

Pourquoi cette maltraitance 

On vous a jamais rien demandé 

A part d'arrêter d'nous les casser 

Tu va aller mourir en enfer 

Parce que t'as fais souffrir mon frère 

Israël c'est notre terre, 

Et Ilan c'est notre frère ! 

Casher ou pas, 

Fofana on te bouffera, 

Fofana y'a ben zona 

Ani zaen otkha.

Ilan Hilami Day 4

Ilan Halimi Day 1

Ilan Halimi Day 2 

Ilan Halimi Day 3
Ilan Halimi Day 5 

Ilan Hilami has by now been tortured 4 days ....... 96 hours  ...... 5760 Minutes. 

4 days and nights of cigarettes being stumped out on his skin to mention but one of the known tortures. 

Last year was the 10th anniversary of this terror, and a lot got written and remembrance ceremonies were many. This year there seems  less public remembering, perhaps pushed out by terrorism having  jumped from the Saturday People to the Sunday people, as it inevitably will or perhaps an 11th anniversary just doesn't seem so significant. 

But still, the material I'm coming across since having decided to put up one post for each of the 24 days Ilan's Calvary lasted, is nearly overwhelming in its richness to a point where I have given into my disorganised nature and abandoned the ambition to produce a coherent, organised and even chronological body of posts. So I will just pick out things as they come to hand: Today I sub-titled a short video for you, made after a film came out on this tragedy with the title: "24 Jours".

"En France, il y a un avant et un après Ilan" ( in France there is a before and an after Ilan) said the Grand Rabbin de France, Joseph Sitruk, but only a few years later, another Muslim created yet another "before and after", his name was Mohamed Merah.

Ilan Halimi Day 3

Ilan Halimi Day 1

Ilan Halimi Day 2 

Ilan Halimi Day 4

How much have you packed into the last 3 days and nights? 

Here is a little background of Ilan Halimi: 

Some Background Information about Ilan Halimi,  taken and translated from the book by Alexandre Lévy, published in 2009: "Le Gang des Barbares". pp 17 - 20. 

Ilan Halimi, born in 1982, is the youngest of the family; He has two sisters, born like himself, in Paris. His mother, Ruth, comes from a family of Sephardic Jews from Morocco; His father, Didier, comes from a mixed marriage: a mother of Armenian origin, a Jewish father. Ilan's two parents separated when he was only two years old.

Like all children of divorced parents, Ilan lives in both of these two worlds, with a clear preference nevertheless for that of its mother, to whom he is very close.

His friends remember Ilan as someone very kind, uncomplicated  and generous: "he was crunching life to the fullest," said one of them. Handsome guy, seducer, it was  easy to get along with, loved girls and to party...[...]...

From the beginning of 2006 Ilan works in a mobile phone shop, the "5 Com" Boulevard Voltaire, near (Place de la) République. There are about twenty of this type on this artery, each  just a few square meters big, mainly managed by young people from the Jewish community ...[...]... "It was a bit like the Jewish Street" remembers Jeremy, who also worked there and knew Ilan since the earliest  school days at the École Ozar-Hathorah. "We felt at home there. We could make between 2000 and 2500 euros a month. But we were working like crazy ...[...]... among our customers, many Africans ... "

It is in this environment that Ilan evolves, while increasingly interested in Israel to where he made at least one trip the year before his death. According to his mother, he was saving up to make his aliyah, like some of his French coreligionists. 

...[...]... He was an ordinary young man, a little macho too, but with a "heart big  like that", say  those who knew him." 

Ilan has now been held and tortured for 3 days, 72 hours, 4320 minutes.....like this: 

by the gang of this Barbarian, as he looks now: 

Ilan Halimi Day 2

Ilan Hilami Day 1

Ilan Hilami Day 3

24 hours have passed since I posted about the kidnapping, torture and ultimate murder of Ilan Halimi and told you that I would post something about him every day until the 13 February, the date in 2006 on which  he died after 3 weeks of torture. I try this to see if it can give us a sense of the long long long days and weeks Ilan was held and tortured by the muslim gang "Le Gang de Barbares".

Gang leader Youssouf Fofana

The bait they used to catch Ilan was described  later  by a colleague of Ilan like so: "Look north-african, around 20, clear skin, a pleasant face, long brown hair with a few highlights...". 

She was actually only 16 at the time of the crime, her name was Yalda and she had tried to seduce some colleagues of Ilan before settling on him.

Today I bring you some excerpts fom an article by Deborah Freund in Aish.com who interviewed the mother of Ilan:

"January 20, 2006

It’s a regular Friday, and I’m on my way home from work. Passing by a store I see a pair of shoes in a style that I know Ilan would like, with a buckle. I stop to purchase them. They are final sale, neither exchangeable nor refundable. I then do some shopping for our Shabbat meal. Even though I am not Orthodox, the Shabbat meal is something I will not give up for any price. It’s the only time of the week we get to all sit peacefully around a beautifully set table. When I reach our building I glance up to see if Ilan is at the window. He usually he looks out for me and runs down the stairs to help me bring up the packages. Ilan sings the Kiddush. My children were bought up in the Jewish tradition and know all the Jewish prayers. After we wash, Ilan cuts the challah and distributes it. We wish each other Shabbat Shalom. Dinner is over by 9:00 p.m.

A while later I hear Ilan answering the telephone in his room. I will later learn that that was the fateful call from his new acquaintance inviting him out. I see him putting on his windbreaker. I don’t like it when he goes out on Shabbat and he knows it. “Don’t be angry, Maman,” he says, an apologetic smile playing on his lips. As if having a premonition that this would be the last time I would ever see him, I try to keep him from leaving. “You didn’t try on your new shoes,” I remind him. He gives me a hug. “Tomorrow,” he says, and clatters down the stairs.

The shoes are still lying untouched in their box.

January 21

The nightmare starts the following day when we realize that Ilan hasn’t come home. None of his friends have heard from him either. I’m reading a story to Noa, my granddaughter, when I hear my daughters’ piercing screams in the next room. They’re looking at a photo of Ilan on the computer screen that has just been sent by email. My son’s face is covered with black tape, and there’s a pistol pointed at his temple. “We are holding Ilan,” the email reads. “We are demanding 450,000 euros for his release.”

A phone call ensues. A young man speaking French with a heavy African accent says, “You have 20 minutes to bring the money. If you contact the police, we will kill him.” My two daughters, each holding one of my hands, drag me down the stairs to the police station. Didier, Ilan’s father, is already there, having received the same phone call.

The police try to figure out why Ilan was targeted. None of us can pay the sum of 450,000 euros. I’m a secretary. Ilan earns 1,200 euro a month. His father doesn’t have any money either. Our profile certainly doesn’t mark us as a target for kidnappers....."

Ilan Halimi Day 1

11 years ago today, Ilan Halimi, a 23 year old  French Jew was abducted by a Parisian Muslim gang who called themselves "Le Gang des Barbares". During the next 24 days, the handsome and charismatic young man  was slowly tortured to death. 

Ilan Halimi 

He was held for 24 days in an apartment on the 11th floor of a residential building, bound, with his head covered entirely in duct tape except for a small gap for his mouth. 

He was subjected to three weeks of beatings and torture, while gang members attempted to extract a 450,000 Euro ransom from his family. Ilan's uncle, Rafi Halimi, reported that "the gang phoned the family on several occasions and made them listen to the recitation of verses from the Koran, while Ilan's tortured screams could be heard in the background."

Halimi was found naked, handcuffed and tied to a tree three weeks after his capture, but died from his wounds on the way to hospital.

Twenty-three people participated in torturing Ilan. Another twenty were involved indirectly. The custodian of the building gave them the key to an apartment where they said they wanted to "keep someone." French journalist Guy Millière reported that the thugs cut bits off his flesh, cut his fingers and ears, and burned him with acid.

The autopsy reportedly revealed an incision of between six and seven inches on Ilan’s left cheek.

On the final day, Youssef Fofana, the leader of the Barbarians, slit Ilan's throat, twice, and poured a flammable liquid on him to try to set him on fire. But this reportedly did not burn him to death, because Ilan walked for perhaps one hour trying still to find a way to live.  Source

I will post something on Ilan Halimi every day until the 13. February, day of his death, to get a tiny inkling of how long his torture lasted.

Here is an interview with his mother.
