FRENCH CHILDREN BEING TAUGHT MIGRATION IS A "HUMAN RIGHT" & "WE ARE ALL AFRICANS"

FRENCH CHILDREN BEING TAUGHT MIGRATION IS A "HUMAN RIGHT" & "WE ARE ALL AFRICANS"
BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

France is safe and prosperous only thanks to a ‘lifetime of open borders’, while mass migration is a “universal right”, according to literature being handed out in French classrooms.
The madness is complete. This brazen propaganda about France’s suicidal immigration policy is embarrassing, as is the fact that people actually buy into this irrationality. Most dangerous is that it is being taught in classrooms.
Despite French law requiring politics be kept out of state school classrooms, the material makes no attempt to hide its far-left bent, suggesting that any attempt to question the age of so-called unaccompanied minors is an affront to basic human rights.
Contrary to being “safe” due to open borders, France is in chaos due to mass Muslim migration, as are other European countries, and conditions are worsening. Ricard Abitbol, President of the Confederation of Jews in France, has already warned that “in a few decades, there will be no Jews in France” as a result of violent Islamic anti-Semitism related to the influx of Muslim migrants. Right before Christmas, France allowed Muslim street prayers, but banned a Christmas movie as “too Christian.” In November, a French academic, Professor Christian de Moliner, suggested the creation of a Muslim state within France in order to prevent a civil war. In an attitude of complete surrender, De Moliner stated that “we will never be able to eradicate the radical Islamism.” Then recently, in a stunning show of disrespect, Ahmet Ogras, president of the French Council of the Muslim Faith, warned French leader Emmanuel Macron not to meddle with Islam.
Many in France have already surrendered to the march of political Islam and are now in fact tacitly advocating it in the classroom, as we see in the distribution of propaganda by taxpayer-funded “Secular Solidarity,” which is not secular at all.
All in all, “France is no longer France,” and rather than try to salvage its peaceful society and democratic order, many leaders are now waving the banner of the House of Islam, declaring in the classroom that the hijrah as a “universal right.”
The French people however, have a different opinion, despite their passivity in electing Emmanuel Macron. Most believe that there are “too many foreigners in France and Islam not compatible” with French society.

“French Children Taught Migration Is a Human Right, ‘We’re All Africans,’” by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, February 20, 2018:
France is safe and prosperous only thanks to a ‘lifetime of open borders’, while mass migration is a “universal right”, according to literature being handed out in French classrooms.
Intended for distribution to children between the ages of eight and 16, the new booklets are produced by ‘Secular Solidarity’, an organization which receives around half of its funding from French taxpayers, in conjunction with other groups including SNUIPP-FSU, the major teachers’ union in France.
“Immigration is a fundamental human right”, according to the taxpayer-funded body’s document, which tells children that “mass migration is the very essence of humanity”, and argues they have no right to secure the French border because “the most recent research shows the first humans were all from Africa”.
“To migrate is to move, it is natural in human beings,” it states, claiming that “the world we live in today: our countries, our cultures, our languages” have all resulted from millennia of open borders, the document alleges occurred.
On one page, a cartoon of an African boy is shown drawing attention to the booklet’s intended feminist nature, in which he orders a cartoon depicting a white girl to “notice… the use of inclusive language”.
“This new style of writing allows us to make men and women equals,” the cartoon figure asserts, praising the “modernised” form of French beloved by far-left activists but opposed by national language police, the Académie Francaise, which brands it  a “mortal danger” to the centuries-old European tongue.
Despite French law requiring politics be kept out of state school classrooms, the material makes no attempt to hide its far-left bent, suggesting that any attempt to question the age of so-called unaccompanied minors is an affront to basic human rights.
“Some children are made to have so called ‘bone tests’ to see if they are an adult or a child,” the leaflet states, explaining that this involves the state carrying out an X-ray so as to determine whether or not to treat the individual as a minor.
However, according to Secular Solidarity, there is literally nothing to recommend these tests, which the handouts allege are “unreliable”, and tell children that “they do not make it possible to tell whether a person is over 18 years of age”.
Worse than “unreliable”, in fact, the organisation goes on to imply age checks by the state are a racist assault on people from other cultures….

UK: MUSLIM RAPE GANG SEX CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN AT "RECORD HIGH"~WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE FROM THERESA MAY & THE POPE?

 THERESA MAY TURNS A BLIND EYE ALONG WITH THE POPE
UK: MUSLIM RAPE GANG SEX CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN AT "RECORD HIGH" 
BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
  
Averaging at 177 cases a day, child sex crime allegations including rape and 
grooming are at a record high in the UK.
One would think that these sickening crimes against children would have ended by now, given the scandal over their having been covered up. Not so when the crimes are perpetrated by an extraordinarily privileged group: Muslim men, who are protected by “Islamophobia” campaigns against anyone who reports and comments too much about their abuses. Obviously, not all Muslim men commit such crimes in the name of their religion, but those who do are being shielded because of their religious identity.
Breitbart London previously reported how an examination of previous alleged child sex offence records published by the NSPCC found that the majority of child sexual abuse cases were taking place in areas with significant ‘Asian’ populations.
First came the phrase “Asian” to describe the Muslim men who were abusing young British girls. Then came the phrase “grooming gangs,” as if these rapists were gangs of hairdressers. These terms are used to continue the inexcusable coverup of the large-scale rape and abuse of young girls by Muslim men, and to divert attention away from the beliefs that lead some Muslim men to believe that they have the right to sexually abuse infidel girls who are unveiled.
The UK’s former race tsar Trevor Phillips has said the British establishment must wake up and accept the fact that the men in these type of grooming rings are all Muslim.
Police were involved in these epidemic coverups, as were politicians and social workers. Recall the absurdity of Labour MP Naz Shah retweeting to the abused girls to “shut up for the good of diversity,” thus demonstrating the readiness of some politicians to sacrifice anything in the name of “diversity.” Shah is still a member of Parliament.
Another Labour MP, Sarah Champion, stated rightly that “people care more about being called racist than preventing child abuse.”
When the Muslim grooming gang cases finally hit the courts, their racism was exposed. The perpetrators referred to the victims as “white trash” and “easy meat,” prompting the former director of public prosecutions, Lord McDonald, to state that the abuses were  “profoundly racist,” but this brand of racism mattered far less than “Islamophobia.”
The horror continued to escalate. NSPCC (the UK Children’s Charity) chief executive Peter Wanless states:
These abhorrent crimes can shatter a child’s life, leaving them to feel humiliated, depressed or even suicidal. That is why it is crucial every single child who has endured abuse and needs support must get timely, thorough help so they can learn to rebuild their lives.
The difficulty is that the lives of these innocent girls are not the priority. Advancing a “diversity” agenda in the name of multiculturalism is the priority. At the head of these drives are Muslim Brotherhood-linked lobbies that apply sustained pressure against the UK establishment, as well as against every other free society in the West, in order to gain special privileges for Muslims. They do it by claiming victimhood while their coreligionists commit the vilest of abuses against innocent people. When abuse victims are discussed too much in the judgement of Muslim-Brotherhood linked groups, those groups shout “Islamophobia” from the rooftops, and the establishment quivers.
As long as Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups continue to intimidate non-Muslims by branding them “racist” and “Islamophobic,” the human rights principles of Judeo-Christian civilization will decline, and Sharia principles will continue to grow in influence.

“Campaigners Warn Reported Sex Crimes Against Children at Record High”, by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, February 20, 2018:
Averaging at 177 cases a day, child sex crime allegations including rape and grooming are at a record high in the UK, the NSPCC has warned.
Figures compiled from Freedom of Information requests submitted to police forces across Britain found there were a total of 64,667 sex crimes against children under the age of 18 reported in 2016/17 — a rise of 15 per cent from the previous year.
Almost 14,000 of the cases involved alleged offences against children aged 10 or under, while 2,788 were allegedly carried out against children aged four or under.
NSPCC chief executive Peter Wanless said: “This dramatic rise is extremely concerning and shows just how extensive child sexual abuse is.
“These abhorrent crimes can shatter a child’s life, leaving them to feel humiliated, depressed or even suicidal.
“That is why it is crucial every single child who has endured abuse and needs support must get timely, thorough help so they can learn to rebuild their lives.”
Reporting the finding that an online element was present in around 10 per cent of cases, the NSPCC said that the emergence of online groomers appears to be one “significant problem” that has contributed to the increase in sexual offences reported against children.
Mr. Wanless added: “These new figures suggest the police are making real progress in how they investigate sex offences against children.
“To help them tackle the issue going forward, we must ensure the police are equipped to work with other agencies and provide ongoing support and training to officers on the front line.”
Breitbart London previously reported how an examination of previous alleged child sex offence records published by the NSPCC found that the majority of child sexual abuse cases were taking place in areas with significant ‘Asian’ populations.
The worrying statistics have emerged against the backdrop of data showing the rate of serious crime to have surged across Britain, and especially England, in recent years.
Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures released in October revealed there to have been 19 per cent rises from the previous year in sexual offences and violence …..

TURKEY: ERDOGAN VOWS TO RECAPTURE ALL LANDS ONCE HELD BY THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE & MORE JIHAD ACTIONS

ERDOGAN VOWS TO RECAPTURE ALL LANDS ONCE HELD BY THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE & MORE
BY ROBERT SPENCER

“We say at every opportunity we have that Syria, Iraq and other places in the geography [map] in our hearts are no different from our own homeland. We are struggling so that a foreign flag will not be waved anywhere where adhan [Islamic call to prayer in mosques] is recited.”
Apparently Erdogan means at the very least the recapture of all the lands once held by the Ottoman Empire. That’s not just Greece, as in the article title below. That’s also Bulgaria, Romania, Yugoslavia, Algeria, Syria, Iraq, Israel, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and more. How seriously this can be taken is anybody’s guess, but it shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand. Erdogan is already moving against the Kurds in Syria, explicitly calling the action a “jihad” and invoking the Ottoman era repeatedly.
And “We are struggling so that a foreign flag will not be waved anywhere where adhan [Islamic call to prayer in mosques] is recited” refers to far more than just the old Ottoman domains. That means everywhere there are Muslims in Europe and everywhere else. The caliphate is, in Sunni Islamic theology, the sole legitimate government for Muslims on earth, to which all Muslims owe allegiance. Erdogan is saying more clearly than he ever has before, as far as I know, that he is going to restore the caliphate. And he is virtually promising war with the non-Muslim (at least for now) states of Europe.
How far we have come. Just a few years ago, mainstream analysts would dismiss my talk of jihad and the caliphate by pointing to Turkey as an example of how Islam can coexist with democracy, and confidently predicting that soon the rest of the Islamic world would follow Turkey’s lead. Now they don’t talk about Turkey so much anymore.

“Turkey Threatens to Invade Greece,” by Uzay Bulut, Gatestone Institute, February 19, 2018:
…Referring to the days of the Ottoman Empire, Erdoğan went on:
“Those who think that we have erased from our hearts the lands from which we withdrew in tears a hundred years ago are wrong.
“We say at every opportunity we have that Syria, Iraq and other places in the geography [map] in our hearts are no different from our own homeland. We are struggling so that a foreign flag will not be waved anywhere where adhan [Islamic call to prayer in mosques] is recited.
“The things we have done so far [pale in comparison to the] even greater attempts and attacks [we are planning for] the coming days, inshallah [Allah willing].”…

LAWMAKERS PUSH TO END GUN FREE ZONES FOLLOWING FLORIDA SHOOTING~REVIEW BY ALEX NEWMAN & DR. DUKE PESTA

LAWMAKERS PUSH TO END GUN FREE ZONES FOLLOWING FLORIDA SHOOTING~
REVIEW BY ALEX NEWMAN & DR. DUKE PESTA
 Virtually every mass shooting in recent memory had one key feature in common: It happened in a so-called "gun-free" zone created by politicians. But after the massacre last week at the school in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 dead, the push is on to ensure that children will no longer be sitting ducks for murderers. Already, legislation at the state and federal level has been introduced to repeal the so-called "gun-free zones" that have made schools the target of so many killers. In Florida, lawmakers are taking up a bill this week that would designate certain teachers to arm and train in the use of firearms to protect their students.
 

FIREARMS COALITION: REPUBLICANS PLOTTING THEIR OWN DEFEAT VIA MORE GUN CONTROL~THE PLACEBO OF GUN CONTROL~TRUMP'S "BUMP STOCK" BAN "LAWLESS"

 Republican Suicide
REPUBLICANS PLOTTING THEIR OWN DEFEAT 
VIA MORE GUN CONTROL 
BY JEFF KNOX

Buckeye, AZ –-(Ammoland.com)- In what twisted universe is it “commonsense” to respond to an atrocity by passing laws that have not, will not, and cannot have any sort of significant impact on preventing or mitigating such atrocities?
Your elected representatives need to hear from you right now. They need to be reminded that none of the laws currently being proposed would have prevented the latest attack on school children – or any of the high-profile mass-murders of the past 30 years – and that enacting these laws in response to this emotional trauma will do nothing but hurt innocent, law-abiding gun owners, and reduce the politician's chances of being reelected.
From a purely political perspective, many short-sighted Republicans had already been expecting a Democrat wave to slam Congress this year, based on low approval ratings for Congress and the president. That's one of the main reasons we've seen so many of them announce their intention to retire after the current session. If it weren't for the recently passed tax bill, they might be correct. Republicans have done a very poor job of following through on their campaign promises, and conservative voters have a well-earned reputation for turning their backs on politicians who don't keep their promises.
If Republicans had just made a serious effort at doing what they said they would do, they could have forced the Democrats to block them – if they dared – and would have been able to leave that baggage on the Democrats' doorstep. Instead, for the most part they just whined that it was no use to push things to a vote, because Democrats had the votes to block them, so why bother. What few feeble efforts they did make were often preempted by “maverick” Republicans undermining their own party, and shielding Democrats from the consequences of their intransigence.
But passage of the President's tax bill offered Republicans a second chance. It buoyed them in the eyes of many of their base constituency, and once voters start noticing the extra money in their paychecks, should bring a whole bunch of swing voters into the Republican camp by November.
At least that was the thinking until the Florida attack happened, and Democrats and the media started beating their well-worn – and hollow – gun control drum, offering no effective solutions, but leveraging emotions to blame Republicans and “the NRA” (we're all “the NRA” to them) for the atrocity, and calling for congressional action.

So now Republicans are tripping over themselves to again fall into the trap.

A major Republican donor in Florida put out a public statement insisting that no Republican would receive another check from him until they passed an “assault weapon” ban. That's a pretty ridiculous move on his part, but even more ridiculous for Republicans to worry about. Even if this guy gives millions of dollars every cycle, money can't compensate for actual votes, and offending millions of GunVoters in hopes of accessing a few campaign dollars is just stupid.
But at least one Florida congressman has leapt into the abyss, declaring that Americans are going to have to give up some of their liberty in the name of protecting children.
Weak-kneed Republicans are deluding themselves if they think that voting for gun control will protect children, or their own political careers. The reality is that coming out in support of gun control is almost certain to cost them their seats.
They will not be rewarded by their base for caving on the right to arms, nor will they be rewarded by the anti-rights crowd, which has a much broader agenda. While there are Republican voters who support gun control, few of them would vote for a Democrat over a Republican on that single issue. Likewise, Democrats and left-leaning independents are not going to abandon their other causes just because a Republican politician went along with their assault on gun rights.
This is just a political bludgeon being used to convince Republican politicians to cut their own political throats. There is no upside to a Republican supporting gun control, just as there is no benefit to society for enacting these laws.
Rather than fall into this political trap, Republican politicians need to be educated about the reality of the situation. Democrats don't have any answers. We've tried their way and it has failed every time.
Connecticut had one of the nation's strictest bans on “assault weapons” in place for over a decade before the attack on Sandy Hook Elementary.
Most mass-murderers passed “background checks” to obtain their weapons, most because they had no disqualifying record, and a couple because the system is faulty, and those that did not, generally stole them, not infrequently after killing the legal owner.
Mass-murderers almost always plan their attacks for months or years, picking their targets, analyzing potential obstacles, acquiring weapons, and exploring alternative means of wreaking destruction.
Republicans need to put this issue back into the laps of the Democrats. Rather than try to avoid a debate on gun control and mass-murder, Republicans should embrace that debate, and force the Democrats to justify their calls for restricting the rights of innocent Americans.

Democrats can't do it, because gun control does not work – especially when it comes to rampage murderers.

We've tried it their way, and it failed. Now let's try it our way. Lets stop disarming qualified teachers, coaches, and administrators willing to undergo extensive training and accept the responsibility of being prepared to stop an armed aggressor.

School Safety and the Placebo of Gun Control



BY ROB MORSE

U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- “We have to do something.” We’ve heard that phrase time and again from politicians and gun control spokesmen.
With some 23 thousand firearms regulations already on the U.S. law books, it seems that we’ve done quite a lot that hasn’t worked. Those ineffective laws don’t stop the urge for more feel-good regulation after the murders in Parkland, Florida. What would really save our students?
We tried mandatory background checks. Those laws didn’t stop the mass murder at Umpqua Community College in Oregon. Background checks didn’t stop the murders at Isla Vista, California, or at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California. I chose these particular examples because Oregon and California have some of the most restrictive firearms transfer laws in the country..including mandatory background checks. They already failed, but I expect the gun-prohibitionists to call for more background checks.
We tried gun-free zones, but they failed too. Rather than stop mass murderers, gun-free zones seem to attract these killers. In fact, almost all of our mass murders took place in gun-free zones. The reason is easy to understand. Mass murderers don’t want to get into a gun fight. Instead, they want to shoot innocent victims who can’t shoot back. Gun-free zones effectively disarmed the honest people who were never a threat in the first place. Unfortunately, also we disarmed the honest people who could slow down or stop the murderer. Expect to hear more calls for gun-free zones.
We tried an “assault weapons ban” back in 1994 under President Clinton. The ban didn’t disarm criminals. It didn’t stop mass murders. Dedicated mass murderers got their guns before they committed their crimes, or they got them by murder. The assault weapons ban didn’t stop them in either case. The ban only made it harder for honest gun owners to own some guns, and that is the lesson we haven’t learned.
Before you pass a new law, assume that the people who commit mass murder will break it. Passing another law will only change the behavior of the honest people who obey the law.

If more laws could stop mass murder, then our 23 thousand current gun regulations should have done it long ago.

The sad fact is that we’re passing laws to make us feel better rather than to effectively stop attacks on our schools. We know what we should do, but doing it doesn’t give us that warm feeling inside. The pleasure of a quick fix, putting more ink on paper and passing another law does.
We should know better. It is amazing to me that we finally have a generation who figured out that drug prohibition laws don’t work. That same generation is now eager to pass more gun prohibitions. Some things never change.
I want us to change what we’re doing and to protect our children. We need better mental health treatment. We also need armed staff in schools. That is what law enforcement says. That is what we do for the children of elite society, and I think they are right.
Our kids deserve it too.

 Gun Owners of America Statement on 
Pres. Trump Bump Stock Memo

Springfield, VA –-(Ammoland.com)- President Donald Trump released a memo to direct the attorney general to seek comments on a rule purporting to ban bump stocks. The memo, states, in part:
“Today, I am directing the Department of Justice to dedicate all available resources to complete the review of the comments received, and, as expeditiously as possible, to propose for notice and comment a rule banning all devices that turn legal weapons into machineguns.”
In light of Trump’s action, Executive Director of Gun Owners of America (GOA) Erich Pratt issued the following statement:
“If President Donald Trump’s goal is to ban bump stocks, then that is a gross infringement of Second Amendment rights. GOA has long warned that such a ban can easily be applied to triggers, magazines, or semi-automatic firearms.
“Furthermore, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has ruled multiple times that bump stocks do not convert semi-automatic firearms into fully-automatic firearms. Converting semi-automatic firearms into fully-automatic firearms is already illegal under federal law.
“Additionally, a ban on bump stocks would ignore the ATF’s previous public comment period that garnered over a hundred thousand comments, which were overwhelmingly anti-regulation.

“Banning bump stocks will not stop criminals from getting guns, but it can be used by gun controllers to ban triggers, magazines, and semi-automatic firearms.

“While Trump ran as a pro-gun candidate, this action does not appear to line up with his campaign rhetoric. Instead of further restricting the right to keep and bear arms, Trump should urge Congress to pass H.R. 34, which would repeal gun-free school zones, an issue Trump campaigned on.
“Regardless of Trump’s future actions on bump stocks, Gun Owners of America remains committed to fighting any bump stock ban or regulation — including the use of legal action.”

 FPC Calls President Trump’s 
‘Bump Stock’ Ban “Lawless”

An act of pure evil,” said President Trump of the atrocity in Las Vegas, invoking our ancient faith: “Scripture teaches us the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
SACRAMENTO, CA-(Ammoland.com)- FPC has released the following statement regarding President Trump’s new demand for gun control and a ban on legal firearm parts:
Yesterday, President Donald Trump said that he signed “a memo” directing Attorney General Jeff Sessions to declare firearm parts, like so-called “bump stock” devices, to be illegal “machineguns” without due process or a legal basis in the statutes for doing so.
Just as we opposed the lawless manner in which President Obama often ruled by ‘pen-and-a-phone’ executive fiat, and we likewise object to and resist President Trump’s outrageous lawlessness here.
Last month, FPC submitted a formal letter of opposition to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ advanced noticed of proposed rulemaking on the “Application of the Definition of Machinegun to Bump Fire Stocks and Other Similar Devices.”
In our comments, we explained that the “DOJ and BATFE clearly lack the statutory authority to re-define the targeted devices as ‘machineguns’,” and that these ATF-approved and legally-possessed devices could not be regulated firearms under the statutes.
Today’s order makes clear that the Trump Administration will leave FPC and law-abiding gun owners no choice but to seek a judicial remedy. It is time for the People to wrestle back control of its policies from runaway executive branch officials and eliminate the “jiggery-pokery” of made-up judicial constructs like agency deference under cases like Encino Motorcars v. Navarro, Auer v. Robbins, and Chevron v. NRDC.
Regardless of the venue, the American peoples’ fundamental human rights—and lawfully-possessed private property—are not up for debate. As the Supreme Court held in its landmark, but too-often ignored, D.C. v. Heller decision, “The very enumeration of the right takes out of the hands of government—even the Third Branch of Government—the power to decide on a case-by-case basis whether the right is really worth insisting upon.”
If the Republican-held House and Senate, and President Donald Trump, choose to act on new gun control over the pro-gun rights legislation that the American people were promised in 2016, they will have shown the voters that neither major political party cares about their rights or the Constitution—and that the only real, civil option left is a new constitutional amendment.

FLORIDA STUDENTS, MAINSTREAM MEDIA RAMP UP CAMPAIGN AGAINST "CHILD MURDERING" NRA

FLORIDA STUDENTS, MAINSTREAM MEDIA 
RAMP UP CAMPAIGN AGAINST 
"CHILD MURDERING" NRA
 CNN publishes “name-and-shame” list 
of politicians who receive contributions 
from the NRA
BY CLIFFORD CUNNINGHAM

The mainstream media, along with Democrats and supposedly apolitical student activists, have ratcheted up their campaign against the “child murdering” National Rifle Association, with a politician in Dallas calling for the NRA to move its convention from the city.
As part of its crusade to promote gun control, CNN has directed much of its criticism towards the National Rifle Association, recently publishing a “name-and-shame” list of Florida politicians who have received campaign contributions from the NRA.
Dallas Mayor Pro Temp Dwaine Caraway, a Democrat, has called on the NRA to move its annual convention from the city.

“It is a tough call when you ask the NRA to reconsider coming to Dallas,” he said. “But it is putting all citizens first and getting them to come to the table and elected officials to come to the table, and to address this madness now.”
Supposedly apolitical student activists who survived the high school shooting in Parkland, Florida wasted little time in attacking the NRA, with one suggesting the organization supports “child murderers” and another calling for it to disband.
“Here’s a time to talk about gun control: March 24. My message for the people in office is: You’re either with us or against us. We are losing our lives while the adults are playing around,” declared high school student Cameron Kasky in an interview with CNN.
Another student demanded the organization immediately disband, while claiming politicians who receive campaign contributions from the NRA are “accepting blood money” and are “against the children.”
“Disband, dismantle … don’t make another organization under a different name. Don’t you dare come back here,” said student Emma Gonzalez. “The fact that you were in power for so long and that you had so much influence for so long in America just goes to show how much time and effort we still need to spend on fixing our country.”
She also noted gun control “is just the first thing” they are focused on – leading one to question just how non-partisan their supposedly apolitical grassroots activism really is.
Mayim Bialik, an actresss on “The Big Bang Theory,” took to Facebook to declare support for the upcoming National Student Walkout – organized by the same far-left donors who funded the Women’s March against President Trump – and called for “civil disobedience” to push Congress to enact more gun control.
“Say yes to civil disobedience. Walk out, sit down, stand up, encourage others to do the same, whatever it takes,” she said in a video.
Bialik argued the main contributing factor to school shootings is not “the media and video games glorifying and encouraging violence,” “toxic masculinity,” or the “lack of mental health care for people in this country.” Rather, it is the availability of the AR-15 rifle, without which “these kinds of killings would not happen.”
Echoing the same talking points as the students calling for gun control in interviews on CNN, Bialik leveled blame on the NRA and called for her viewers to “make it your life’s goal to support and vote for every single person who challenges a politician with NRA money behind them.”

UN EXPOSED AS HAVEN FOR CHILD RAPISTS; MORE SCANDALS COMING

UN EXPOSED AS HAVEN FOR CHILD RAPISTS; MORE SCANDALS COMING 
BY ALEX NEWMAN
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
After decades of United Nations “peacekeeping” troops and officials raping women and children all over the world with complete impunity and even “diplomatic immunity,” a chorus of global outrage and media attention is reaching epic proportions. A handful of predators are now facing justice. But the tsunami of public fury comes as widely reported estimates suggest some 60,000 victims have been raped and sexually abused by UN officials over just the last decade — with almost nobody punished but the victims and whistleblowers.
Still, the wheels of justice are turning, slowly but surely. Just this week, the top “children's rights” chief at the disgraced UN “children” agency UNICEF admitted to raping a 12-year-old boy — after the same agency was caught running a child pornography studio in its basement in Belgium using African children it procured. That UN child rapist was sentenced to prison this week. But former UN officials have said that the revelations so far are just the “tip of the iceberg.”
The escalating pedophilia and sex abuse scandals engulfing the UN and its “peacekeeping” forces have become so massive that even the pro-UN media, including the notoriously globalist CNN and The Guardian, have been forced to cover it. Indeed, all over the world, the UN is making headlines for raping and exploiting children — not to mention sexual abuse and harassment of the UN's own employees. Various “aid” groups funded by taxpayers are in the crosshairs, too.
As the scandals grow, the UN formally announced — for the first time ever — that it would not claim “diplomatic immunity” to protect the estimated 3,300 pedophiles working for the global organization. So far, though, virtually none of the UN troops involved in the widespread rape of children have been held criminally accountable. In fact, those who tried to stop the pedophile rapists were viciously persecuted while the predators continued their horrific abuses.
Meanwhile, as the UN faces global criticism for the abuse, the UN “education” agency known as UNESCO has just sparked controversy by releasing radical new “Comprehensive Sexuality Education” standards for humanity. Among other concerns, critics suggested the radical indoctrination program, which begins by normalizing the “LGBT” agenda and promoting "sexual pleasure" at age five, would help sexualize and “groom” young children, facilitating sexual abuse. UNICEF and other agencies repeatedly caught in pedophilia scandals were also involved in the new sex standards that critics say facilitate exploitation and abuse of children. 
Aside from the UN itself, a number of globalist and leftist “non-governmental organizations” that purport to fight for “children” are also ensnared in growing child-rape scandals. So far, tax-funded Oxfam, the radical left-wing outfit that shills for globalism and statism, has taken center stage, with some of its top executives implicated in organizing or covering up orgies with local victims in Haiti, including allegations that some of the girls coerced into the bizarre “sex parties” were children. The scandal reportedly goes all the way to the top.
Among the explosive stories coming out is one that just hit the headlines this week. Former UNICEF “child rights” campaigner Peter Newell, who led the global effort to jail parents who spank their children as a disciplinary measure, was sentenced to six years in a British prison for raping a young boy, who was just 12 when the predatory UN official began raping him. The “horrific” abuse was perpetrated by Newell while he worked for the UN drawing up the guidelines for the totalitarian “UN Convention on the Rights of the Child,” a global scheme that sidelines parents and parental rights — thereby facilitating abuse of children by predators. The U.S. government has not joined the UN CRC.
And Newell-style abuse of children by UN officials is systemic, experts say — UN officials were even caught running a child porn studio in UNESCO's basement forcing children to engage in sex acts for the cameras. “There are tens of thousands of aid workers around the world with pedophile tendencies, but if you wear a UNICEF T-shirt nobody will ask what you’re up to,” said attorney and professor Andrew MacLeod, former chief of operations of the UN’s Emergency Coordination Center who became an anti-sex abuse campaigner after realizing the enormity of the problem. “You have the impunity to do whatever you want. It is endemic across the aid industry across the world.”
“The system is at fault, and should have stopped this years ago,” he warned. Among other policies, MacLeod says tougher background checks, an end to impunity, and more would be a good start. Acknowledging the enormity of the problem is important, too.
Citing UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' own figures released last year, MacLeod and a group of campaigners known as “Hear Their Cries” estimated that there have been 60,000 victims of UN sex abuse just in the last decade. They also estimate that the UN currently employees some 3,300 pedophiles, many of whom have access to children and “diplomatic immunity” to shield them from justice.
When asked by MacLeod whether UN boss Guterres believes legal immunity applies to UN officials who abuse children, the UN spokesperson gave what appears to be the first ever statement categorically stating that child abusers will not be protected by immunity. “Let's be clear. The answer is no,” the UN chief's spokesperson said on social media. “Sexual abuse is a crime. The United Nations does not and will not claim immunity in such cases.”
Other former UN employees-turned-whistleblowers have cited the culture at the UN as one of the reasons for the horrors. Speaking of “predatory pedophiles” in the so-called “aid” world who abuse children with impunity, former UN official Rasna Warah explained that “the culture of silence allows such wrongdoing to continue.” Warah, who wrote the book UNSilenced: UNmasking the United Nations' Culture of Cover-ups, Corruption and Impunity, said that this impunity was likely to continue at the UN — especially if the predators in question are senior UN officials.
“When in 2005, the UN established an Ethics Office, staff members believed that they could report criminal or unethical behaviour confidentially without being punished,” said Warah, who also suffered retaliation for trying to blow the whistle on UN corruption. “However, the UN Ethics Office has proved to be a channel through which wrongdoing is covered up. Very few staff members who have approached the office for help have obtained justice; on the contrary, many have been forced to resign or been fired.” To deal with the impunity, Warah wrote in her column at Kenya's The Daily Nation newspaper that officials of donor countries should consider withdrawing funds for UN agencies.
The problem of impunity and persecuting whistleblowers at the UN is well documented. When UN insiders have attempted to expose even horrifying abuses such as widespread child rape by the UN and its “peace” armies, the whistleblowers have typically faced persecution by UN leaders, while the perpetrators are generally protected at all costs. Anders Kompass, for example, the former UN human rights worker who tried to stop child rape in Africa by “peace” troops there, faced extreme retaliation for doing the right thing. After the persecution, he even wondered publicly whether ethics could ever return to the UN. He concluded that the answer was probably no. 
Top officials are implicated, too. The UN “High Commissioner for Human Rights,” Islamic prince and anti-freedom zealot Zeid Ra’ad al Hussein, was a key figure who orchestrated the persecution of Kompass and other whistleblowers. Hussein oversaw a vicious campaign of retaliation and abuse waged against his own officials such as Kompass, who blew the whistle on the rape of children by “peace” troops in Africa. He also persecuted whistleblowers who exposed UN agencies sending sensitive technology to North Korea and another which helped Beijing target human rights activists.
Executive Director Bea Edwards with the Government Accountability Project, which fights for whistleblowers, was outraged by Hussein's antics. “And what of Zeid Ra’ad al Hussein, the High Commissioner for Human Rights who oversaw the reprisal? He remains ensconced in his position. That was nearly five years ago,” she wrote, citing Hussein's vicious reprisals against his own subordinates who tried to do the right thing and stop the rape of children and the attacks on human-rights defenders in China.
“So now, Zeid will step down without seeking a second term,” Edwards continued. “It seems that no one has any use for him. Not his own government, nor the governments represented on the Security Council. He explains his decision to depart come August by saying that the human rights climate around the world is 'appalling.' For someone committed to human rights, this would be a reason to stay, but not for Zeid. In any case, he will long be remembered as the High Commissioner for Human Rights Who Retaliated Against Whistleblowers. We hope his successor will be more responsible.”
Even UN employees are not immune from the predators in the UN — and that is according to even left-wing globalist publications that love the UN and normally shield it from bad press. “The United Nations has allowed sexual harassment and assault to flourish in its offices around the world, with accusers ignored and perpetrators free to act with impunity,” the far-left U.K. Guardian reported last month. “Dozens of current and former UN employees described a culture of silence across the organization and a flawed grievance system that is stacked against victims.” When victims report the rapes or abuse, they get fired.
While U.S. lawmakers have been suspiciously quiet about the horrifying abuse they continue to fund with American tax dollars, British politicians are turning up the heat. Senior Conservative (Tory) Member of Parliament Conor Burns, who serves as Foreign Minister Boris Johnson’s parliamentary aide, suggested that what has emerged thus far is just “the tip of an iceberg in finding out what has been going on.” “I believe that there has been systematic, organised and covered-up activity going on over many, many years,” said Burns, who said MacLeod needed to be taken very seriously.
Other British lawmakers and even Prime Minister Theresa May have suggested that the United Kingdom would withhold funds from the UN until it dealt with the wave of sex abuse and pedophilia. A handful of U.S. lawmakers have also threatened to defund the UN's predatory UN “peace” troops, but so far, the massive U.S. funding continues to flow. Trump's latest budget proposal cuts the funding somewhat — with disgraced agencies such as UNICEF being cut off entirely — but U.S. taxpayers would still be the largest financiers of the dictators club and its horrific crime spree.
Unfortunately, the evil now being exposed at the UN was hardly surprising to seasoned observers of the UN. In fact, as this publication and others have documented extensively, the problem is systemic. Everywhere UN troops go — Africa, Europe, Asia, the Americas — they have been exposed raping children, killing civilians, abusing power, and more. In one town in the Ivory Coast where a survey was done, eight out of ten underage girls admitted to being routinely raped and exploited by UN troops. In that same country, the UN and UN-backed jihadist militias who butchered thousands of Christians with machetes violently removed the elected Christian president and put a totalitarian Islamic central banker in his place.
Even without knowing the ghastly history of UN abuses, it should be no surprise that so much evil inhabits the halls of the dictators club. And it is clear that “reform” is beyond useless. The UN was in fact birthed from a poison seed — it's first Secretary-General, American Alger Hiss, who played a lead role creating the UN, was eventually convicted for serving as a spy of mass-murdering Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, one of history's most savage and murderous tyrants. Since then, the UN has waged practically perpetual war on national sovereignty, self-government, morality, and freedom.
Rather than reform, there is only one true solution for neutralizing the threat of the predatory UN: disband the dictators club and discard its remains on the ash heap of history. Congress could help make that happen by passing the American Sovereignty Restoration Act, also known as HR 193, to quit and evict the global body. But overcoming establishment and globalist pressure on Capitol Hill will only happen when enough outraged Americans finally raise their voices to protest the UN's despicable behavior. How much more UN child rape and evil the American people will be forced to support, then, will ultimately be decided by American voters.

FAMILY HOSTING NIKOLAS CRUZ KNEW HE WAS ODD, BUT NOT DANGEROUS: "WE HAD THIS MONSTER LIVING UNDER OUR ROOF & WE DIDN'T KNOW"

Kimberly and James Snead, the family that let Florida high school shooter Nikolas Cruz live in their home, become emotional on Saturday, Feb. 17, 2018, as they recount the day of the mass shooting.
 Kimberly and James Snead opened their home to shooter Nikolas Cruz after the teen's mother died in November. 
EXCERPTS:  "James Snead, 48, said they had “rules” in their home and that Cruz followed every one of them to a “T.”"
 "The Sneads knew Cruz had guns, which they kept locked in a gun safe. James Snead thought he had the only key and was unaware that Cruz had one."

 FAMILY HOSTING NIKOLAS CRUZ 
KNEW HE WAS ODD, BUT NOT DANGEROUS: 
"WE HAD THIS MONSTER LIVING UNDER OUR ROOF & WE DIDN'T KNOW"

Nikolas Cruz was immature, quirky and depressed when James and Kimberly Snead took him into their Parkland home. But he was pleasant and seemed to be growing happier, they said.
How the 19-year-old turned into a killer still baffles them.
“We had this monster living under our roof and we didn’t know,” Kimberly Snead told the South Florida Sun Sentinel in an exclusive interview Saturday. “We didn’t see this side of him.”
“Everything everybody seems to know, we didn’t know,” James Snead said. “It’s as simple as that.”
Cruz still lived with the Sneads on Wednesday when he walked into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School with an AR-15 rifle and killed 17 people — the worst school shooting since Sandy Hook.
The Sneads’ son had asked whether his friend could move into their home last Thanksgiving. Cruz’s mother, who had adopted him, died of pneumonia Nov. 1, leaving him without parents. He stayed briefly with a family friend in the Lantana area but wanted to move on.
The Sneads quickly agreed — though they realized he was extremely depressed about his mother’s death.
Five days before the shooting, Kimberly Snead took Cruz to the office of a therapist she has been seeing. Cruz said he was open to therapy but didn’t like medication. He took a business card and was figuring out what his health insurance would cover.
James, 48, is a decorated army veteran and a military intelligence analyst who served stints in the Middle East between 1988 and 1996. Kimberly, 49, is a neonatal intensive care nurse who cares for premature and ill babies.
They told Cruz there would be strict rules in their home.
“I told him there’d be rules and he followed every rule to the T,” James said.
The couple both grew up around guns and are comfortable with them, but they insist on gun safety.
They made Cruz buy a locking gun safe to put in his room the day he moved in. Cruz had a handful of guns, including the AR-15 and two other rifles that Snead said would be considered assault rifles. Cruz, a hunter, also had knives, BB guns and pellet guns.
 

Nikolas Cruz, 19, posed in a bullet-proof vest in this photo posted to his Instagram account.

Snead thought he had the only key to the cabinet but has figured out Cruz must have kept a key for himself. The family kept their own rifles, bought after a burglary a couple of years ago, in a separate locked cabinet.
They told Cruz he needed to ask permission to take out the guns. He had asked only twice since November. They said “yes” once and “no” once.
Cruz’s mom seemed to have cosseted him.
“He was very naïve. He wasn’t dumb, just naïve,” James said.
He didn’t know how to cook. They had to show him how to use a microwave. He didn’t know how to do his laundry and also had to learn to pick up after himself.
He didn’t drive but bought a bicycle and rode it to work at a nearby Dollar Tree.
The Sneads had raised their own three boys and jokingly called the process of teaching Cruz “Adulting 101.”
They insisted he enlist in adult education classes run by the school district and drove him to school each day. He didn’t have much time to himself.
He seemed to be doing well and wanted to be an army infantryman. He was excited when an army recruiter visited school recently.
“What else could this family have possibly done to put this young man on the right track?” said their attorney, Jim Lewis. “They tried to do a good deed and it went horribly wrong for them.”
So far as they know, Cruz wasn’t particularly close to any of the victims and they don’t know of any resentment he might have had against any of the people who were murdered. They have no clue why he did it.
The night before the massacre seemed just like any other, they said.
 

Gunman Nikolas Cruz briefly stayed at this Lantana, Fla., home, before moving in with the Snead family.

Cruz had some odd eating habits. He quietly put a chocolate chip cookie in his steak and cheese sandwich. He went to bed around 8 p.m., which wasn’t unusual.
They said they were sure he was bullied; he was the kind of kid that would attract the attention of a bully.
He badly wanted to have a girlfriend and seemed lonely, they said. They don’t know anything about rumors they’ve since heard about a breakup with a girl, stalking or fighting.
They also saw no signs of animal cruelty. They are animal lovers, with two dogs and six cats. He’d have been kicked out if he was mean to their animals. Cruz seemed to love their pets.
On Wednesday morning, Cruz told them he didn’t need a ride to school: “It’s Valentine’s Day and I don’t go to school on Valentine’s Day,” he said.
Cruz had a “boxer’s fracture” in his right hand after falling on a step in their house about three weeks ago. They now think he removed the cast on his hand, the second he’d had, the day of the shooting. He’d also removed the first cast.
Kimberly last saw him around 10 that morning before she left to run errands. He said he was going fishing and was gone when she returned. She went to sleep because she was supposed to work a night shift that night.
Cruz sent their son a few texts that day. In one, he asked what classroom the boy was in. He said he was going to see a movie.
Later he texted he had “something important” he wanted to tell the teen. Then he wrote: “Nothing man.”
They have since figured out those texts were sent during the Uber ride Cruz took to the murder scene. His last text to their son, as Cruz pulled up at the school, said “Yo.”
They think Cruz moved out of the home of his late mom’s friend in Lantana because of tension about his guns and a possible misunderstanding about money.
Cruz told them he stood to inherit at least $800,000 from his deceased parents. Most of the money would come when he turned 22, he said. The Sneads have since seen paperwork they think supports the claim he was going to be very financially comfortable.
Cruz frequently photographed his weaponry.
 
Cruz thought the family friend in Lantana was stealing money from him but the Sneads suspect she was innocent and he was just a victim of common identity theft. They reported about $2,900 in fraudulent charges on his debit or credit card.
Around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, their son called sounding panic-stricken. He was safe but had heard shots fired on campus. He helped classmates flee by climbing a fence to neighboring Westglades middle school.
Snead told his son to walk to Walmart and he’d come get him.
As Snead drove there, a SWAT commander called his cellphone and asked where his son Nik was. Told him it wasn’t his son and he didn’t know where he was.
As he kept driving and put two and two together, he became terrified and called the commander back. Snead told the cop the last he knew Nik was home alone with Kimberly: “I need a police presence at my house. Go make sure my wife is OK.”
Snead called his son to say he needed to check on mom first and drove home: “I was fearing for her life.”
Kimberly was sleeping because she was supposed to work the night shift that night. Law enforcement banged on her door with guns drawn, yelling: “Put your hands up.”
When they asked where her son was, she assumed something terrible had happened to her son but soon realized they meant Cruz. They searched the house but already had Cruz in custody elsewhere.
After an emotional reunion of husband and wife, they were brought to Broward Sheriff’s headquarters to be reunited with their son. They later realized he was being questioned by detectives in case he was involved. Investigators quickly figured out he was innocent.
As they waited, Cruz was led in to the building, handcuffed and wearing a hospital gown, surrounded by deputies.
Kimberly tried to run at him, James held her back.
“Really, Nik? Really?” she yelled at him.
“He said he was sorry. He apologized. He looked lost, absolutely lost,” said James. “And that was the last time we saw him.”

NUNES: WE'LL PUT DOF & FBI ON TRIAL IF THEY ABUSED FISA LAW

 Nunes: We'll Put DoJ, FBI On Trial If They Abused FISA Law
NUNES: WE'LL PUT DOF & FBI ON TRIAL 
IF THEY ABUSED FISA LAW 
 ‘If they’re committing abuse for a secret court…you’re darn right we’re going to put them on trial’

The FBI and DOJ are not above the law and will be put on trial if they abused the FISA process, says House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.).
Nunes answered questions Sunday from investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson to explain the details of the FISA memo and the continuing investigation into potential wrongdoing by FBI and DoJ leadership.

When asked why the Carter Page wiretap was so pivotal to the larger investigation of FISA abuse, Nunes said:
“It really boils down to this. You had a campaign. The Hillary Campaign and the Democratic Party went out and paid for dirt. They got it from Russians by the way. Then they used that dirt and funneled it into the FBI.”

“The FBI then used that dirt to get a warrant on a US citizen who was part of the other campaign. A limited role, yes. But still, to do that, it’s wrong.”
Attkisson noted Ranking Member Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) declined to be interviewed and claimed the FISA memo drawn up by Nunes and Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) were “misleading and omitted material facts.”
“Because we didn’t want to disclose any sources and methods,” Nunes replied. “We tried to reduce the memo down to what we believed the American people needed to know. What was most important? So we put in the memo, the things that were used before the FISA court in order to justify the warrant. Was there other information? Sure. But it wasn’t, it wasn’t important in terms of the justification of the warrant.”
Schiff believes the GOP’s goal is to put the whole FBI on trial as well as Mueller’s investigation, said Attkisson.
“Yeah, well FISA abuse has nothing to do with, with the Mueller investigation. As it relates to Department of Justice and the FBI, if they need to be put on trial, we will put them on trial,” Nunes assured her.
“The reason that Congress exists is to oversee these agencies that we created. DOJ and FBI are not above the law. Congress created them, we oversee them, and we fund them. And if they’re committing abuse for a secret court, getting warrants on American citizens, you’re darn right that we’re going to put them on trial.”
