Swiss authorities should not tolerate this, and should demand assimilation as a condition for immigration. But they, like other European rulers, are weak and spineless, and leading their nation down the path of national suicide.
“Erdogan warns Turks in Switzerland about integration,” translated from “Erdogan warnt Türken in der Schweiz vor Integration,” by Fabian Eberhard, Blick, December 22, 2019 (thanks to Searchlight Germany):
Two days, two speeches, two faces: On Tuesday, at his official appearance at the Refugee Forum in Geneva, Recep Tayyip Erdogan gave the appearance of a diplomatic leader. In front of dozens of TV cameras, he asked the international community for more support for Turkey.
This was quite different from the day before. The Turkish ruler stepped in front of his supporters in the elegant Four Seasons hotel and, shielded from the public, gave a propaganda speech against integration.
SonntagsBlick has a video of the performance. A conference room with almost 200 people, white tablecloths, silver cutlery. And on stage: Erdogan, who conjures up his fantasies of a great power among the Swiss-Turks present.
“So we continue!”
While Swiss police officers patrolled in front of the hotel with submachine guns, the Turkish autocrat inside said in a frenzy: “One nation, one flag, one home, one state. So we continue!”
Applause.
Erdogan makes it clear to those present: Even if they live in Switzerland, they have only one nation to be true to: Turkey. The President extends his hand in the air, four fingers outstretched, his thumb bent – the “Rabia salute”, the distinctive mark of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood.
Erdogan goes even further: There is only one country for the Turkish diaspora to follow. The task in Switzerland, however, is to expand its influence: “Get active, in politics, science, the economy!” In other words: infiltrate Swiss society.
Turkish loyalists abroad have always been Erdogan’s ideal. Already in 2008 he called out to his compatriots during a speech: “Nobody can expect you to submit to assimilation. Assimilation is a crime against humanity!”
To keep the Turkish diaspora on track, Erdogan founded the Ministry of Foreign Turks (YTB) in 2010, an agency with 300 employees and an annual budget of almost CHF 200 million. The official motto of the YTB: “We are everywhere where we have a citizen, a member of the same race, a relative.” It should come as no surprise that Erdogan’s propaganda campaign in Geneva was organized and probably financed by that very ministry….
“Woman detained by flyers on Turkish flight after threatening to ‘blow up plane,'” Stuff, December 21 2019:
Passengers and cabin crew have rushed to detain a woman who threatened to blow up a plane as it was accelerating down the runway at Turkey’s Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen Airport.
The passengers surrounding the woman noticed her smoking and try to pry the cigarette and lighter from her hands. She then tries to set fire to a T-shirt.
According to reports, the woman said: “I am a FETO member, and I will blow up the aircraft.”…

A study by Rutgers University has found that the rate of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) four-year-old children in New Jersey rose by 43 percent from 2010 to 2014, to an estimated rate of 1 in 35 children—the highest of any state in the United States. According to the research, which was published earlier this year in a report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the prevalence of ASD in New Jersey was 19.7 per 1,000 children in 2010, compared to 28.4 per 1,000 in 2014.12
“We don’t understand the reason for it,” said Walter Zahorodny, PhD, principal investigator of the Rutgers study. Dr. Zahorodny noted that during the 14 years, the autism rate among children in New Jersey has “never stabilized or decreased.”3
Reportedly, ASD is twice as common in boys than in girls. It is also more often diagnosed in Caucasian children than in African-American or Hispanic children.12
New Jersey’s ASD rate stands in sharp contrast with that of Missouri, which the Rutgers study determined to have the lowest rate in the U.S.—1 in 104 four-year-old children. The prevalence rates of ASD in Missouri went from 8.5 per 1,000 children in 2010 to 9.6 per 1,000 in 2014.12
The Rutgers study pegged the ASD rate in the U.S. at 1 in 59 children, based on data from 2014. More recent data from 2016 by the National Health Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) calculates the rate of autism for children in the U.S. aged 3-17 years at 1 in 36.124
The researchers involved in the Rutgers study were at a loss to explain why the numbers of children developing autism in New Jersey and other states has continued to increase. Some factors that may be associated with the higher risk of ASD include more mothers giving birth after age 30, maternal illness, genetic mutations, birth prior to 37 weeks gestation and multiple births.12
“These are true influences exerting an effect, but they are not enough to explain the high rate of autism prevalence,”1 said Dr. Zahorodny, who added:
There are still undefined environmental risks that contribute to this significant increase, factors that could affect a child in its development in utero or related to birth complications or to the newborn period. We need more research into non-genetic triggers for autism.1
The rise in childhood autism in New Jersey is not expected to level off anytime soon. “It’s very likely that the next time we survey autism among children, the rate will be even higher,” Dr. Zohorodny said.1
“This is a wake-up call for all of us,” said Tom Baffuto, who is executive director of The Arc of New Jersey, which works on behalf of “individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.”35
“Children with autism become adults with autism, and as advocates, we must collaborate with lawmakers to ensure supports are in place to assist with the unique challenges they face throughout their lifetime.” Baffuto said.3

NEW YORK —Two U.S. ambassadors hosted an event at the United Nations on Wednesday entitled “Decriminalizing Homosexuality in Solidarity with LGBTQ People.” The United States Mission to the United Nations released a statement outlining the event and noting President Trump’s commitment to the effort to legalize homosexuality worldwide.
Kelly Craft, the U.S. Ambassador to the UN, along with Richard Grenell, the U.S. Ambassador to Germany and an open homosexual, hosted the meeting, during which time they — and a number of panelists — discussed the status of their mission to decriminalize homosexuality in at least 69 countries.
According to Fox News, nations on the list include Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jamaica, Kenya, Senegal, Cameroon Antigua, Barbuda, Syria and Yemen. The outlet notes that 33 African countries recognized by the U.N. consider homosexual sex acts a crime. Punishments vary from nation to nation, from jail to time to the death penalty.
“We need to have 69 different plans of action because we are dealing with 69 different countries. It is a long road,” Grenell stated. “The U.N. should be a place to hold countries accountable.”
“I want these countries to be called out! I want these countries to feel the pressure! This list should be read here every day,” he said.
Others on the panel included Robert Destro, the Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor; Stuart Milk, the executive director of the Harvey Milk Foundation and nephew to Milk; and Johnnie Moore, commissioner for the United States Commission for International Religious Freedom and former senior vice president for communications at Liberty University.
“We need religious leaders to stand up and say, ‘This is not only a bad law that needs to be changed, but it is in defiance of the human dignity of an individual,'” Moore said, according to Fox News.
According to the Center for Family and Human Rights (C-Fam), the ambassadors of Argentina and the Netherlands said that the effort was not enough because it did not include those who identify as transgender. One European diplomat remarked, “We should not underestimate the fact that it is often religious people that are a rather negative force when it comes to LGBT rights.”
As previously reported, in February, NBC News reported that Grenell would be leading the effort to decriminalize homosexuality worldwide.
It noted that “[t]he U.S. embassy is flying in LGBT activists from across Europe for a strategy dinner to plan to push for decriminalization in places that still outlaw homosexuality — mostly concentrated in the Middle East, Africa and the Caribbean.”
Grenell also told Fox News in April that Vice President Mike Pence is supportive of the effort.
“I … want to just point out the fact that the vice president, Mike Pence, is fully on board with my push to decriminalize homosexuality around the world,” he said, as he sought to push back against assertions from Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg that Pence is “anti-gay.”
“Mike Pence is on board with decriminalizing homosexuality around the world,” Grenell repeated. “I think that speaks volumes.”
In May, President Trump posted two tweets in recognition of “Pride Month,” asking Americans to “stand in solidarity” with homosexuals who live in countries where such sexual practices are illegal, as well as for nations to join his administration’s campaign to decriminalize homosexuality worldwide.
“As we celebrate LGBT Pride Month and recognize the outstanding contributions LGBT people have made to our great nation, let us also stand in solidarity with the many LGBT people who live in dozens of countries worldwide that punish, imprison, or even execute individuals on the basis of their sexual orientation,” he wrote.
“My administration has launched a global campaign to decriminalize homosexuality and invite all nations to join us in this effort!” Trump urged.
The Center for Family and Human Rights (C-Fam) further notes that last year, “State Department representatives pressured governments to accept ‘sexual orientation and gender identity’ in international law. Additionally, the U.S. Ambassador to the UN Economic and Social Council made an impassioned plea during the General Assembly for homosexual issues.”
In its press release on Thursday, the United States Mission to the United Nations noted that Trump mentioned the effort to decriminalize homosexuality worldwide during his speech to the General Assembly in September.
“As we defend American values, we affirm the right of all people to live in dignity. For this reason, my administration is working with other nations to stop criminalizing of homosexuality, and we stand in solidarity with LGBTQ people who live in countries that punish, jail, or execute individuals based upon sexual orientation,” he stated.

As previously reported, The Bible teaches in Genesis 19 that the city of Sodom was full of various wickedness, including homosexuality. It states that as the men of Sodom saw angels enter into Lot’s home, “both old and young” surrounded the house and called out, “Where are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may know them.”
“I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly,” Lot replied.
The angels then “smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness” so that they could not enter, and advised Lot, “[W]e will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord, and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.”
In the New Testament, Jude, the earthly brother of Jesus, pointed to the sorrowful fate of Sodom, writing, “Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”
He later encouraged Christians in light of the rampant sin of the last days to “have compassion [on souls], making a difference, and others save with fear.”
“[Y]e, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life,” Jude urged.

Last week, the Evangelical blogosphere made waves after the far-left George Soros-funded Evangelical publication, Christianity Today ran a hit piece calling for President Donald Trump’s impeachment over moral issues.
In the wake of this dumbfoundingly stupid piece by Mark Galli, the magazine’s chief editor, Evangelicals began jumping on the bandwagon of impeachment lining up behind Nancy Pelosi — arguably the most immoral politician in modern history — to impeach Trump for his “immorality.” Since then, even more have jumped on the bandwagon and now, a leader of the most influential Southern Baptist organization in history is calling for Trump’s conviction.
Paul D. Miller is a Professor of Practice of International Affairs at Georgetown University and a research fellow for the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC). In a recent hit piece on the Christian Post, Miller calls for Donald Trump’s conviction.
Christians should advocate for President Donald J. Trump’s conviction and removal from office by the Senate. While Trump has an excellent record of appointing conservative judges and advancing a prolife agenda, his criminal conduct endangers the Constitution.
To this date, still, no evidence has been presented to prove any wrongdoing on the part of the president, yet, leftists Evangelicals are using this as a way to move forward with their progressive agendas. If you believe that this isn’t a concerted effort on the part of leftist evangelicals — namely, Russell Moore — to advance a politically left movement to increase the Democrat voter base in the Church, think again.
Russell Moore is a former Democrat staffer. The ERLC and the Southern Baptist Convention — which was once a conservative organization that stood for conservative, biblical principles — is now loaded with Democrats and the importance of holding to conservative values has been downplayed by these subversive leaders.
In point of fact, Russell Moore is what we call a “rented evangelical,” that is, he has been bought by leftist elites and is being used to advance a leftist agenda. It is a fact — not hearsay — but fact that Russell Moore accepts money from George Soros through his Evangelical Immigration Table.
The Evangelical Immigration Table is a branch of the National Immigration Forum which is heavily funded by George Soros. Russell Moore, as the head of the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, is also on the board of the Evangelical Immigration Table and is also on the Leadership Council for George Soros’ 2020 National Immigration Strategy of the National Immigration Forum. These two organizations support and promote mass immigration and amnesty for illegal immigrants using biblical-sounding language.
To this day, there has been no accountability within the denomination for Moore’s involvement with the Soros organization. However, there can be no doubt about the direction the Southern Baptist Convention is going and those leaders who continue to push the denomination to the left.
These subversive men continue to sacrifice the blood of innocent children and the truth of God’s word in an effort to create a false sense of Utopia built around a Communist and Marxist political system. It is simply absurd that so many so-called conservative Christians continue to support these liberal Evangelical organizations, defend them, and consider them in any way “Christian.” See also: If You’re a Democrat, You’re Probably Not Saved.
"CHRISTIANITY TODAY" MAGAZINE BECOMES A PATHETIC MOUTHPIECE FOR NANCY PELOSI
★★★ A NEW CONSERVATIVE AGE IS RISING! ★★★
Well what do you know; another so-called evangelical leader has become a mouthpiece for the leftwing secular globalist Democrats. We’re going to take a look at the massive fail over at Christianity Today and their call to have president Trump removed from office, and why such a call is being laughed at by the vast majority of evangelicals who are solidly standing with President Trump.

Every other prisoner is expected to get a mugshot and exchange his or her own clothes for jail clothes, but not Aida Shyef Al-Kadi, a Muslim woman in Minnesota. She “received $120,000 to settle her lawsuit alleging she was forced to strip in jail and remove her hijab for a booking photo…A judge had issued a warrant” for Aida Shyef Al-Kadi’s “arrest after she missed a court hearing over a traffic offense.”
In her lawsuit, Al-Kadi complained “that the county violated her constitutional rights and discriminated against her for her religious beliefs.”
$120,000. Taxpayers foot the bill for these special entitlements. What about the rights of taxpayers in the midst of this growing two-tier system of justice? Note that the settlement did not require the county “to admit wrongdoing.” And it did no wrong. Any number of things could be hidden in a hijab.
“Woman allegedly forced to remove hijab for mugshot gets $120,000 in settlement,” Guardian, December 18, 2019:
A Minnesota Muslim woman has received $120,000 to settle her lawsuit alleging she was forced to strip in jail and remove her hijab for a booking photo over a traffic offense, the woman and her attorneys said Tuesday.
Aida Shyef Al-Kadi appeared with her attorneys at the Minneapolis headquarters of the Council on American-Islamic Relations to announce the settlement approved last month.
Al-Kadi, 57, said her treatment at the Ramsey county jail in August 2013 was “one of the most humiliating and harmful experiences” of her life.
“I knew that I did not want any other Muslim woman to experience what I did,” she said.
A judge had issued a warrant for Al-Kadi’s arrest after she missed a court hearing over a traffic offense while taking her daughter to the hospital, the Star Tribune reported.
In her lawsuit, Al-Kadi argued that the county violated her constitutional rights and discriminated against her for her religious beliefs.
Al-Kadi was born and raised in Ohio. She moved to Minnesota in 2005 so her daughter could receive specialized medical care.
When Al-Kadi turned herself in, she said, she was told to remove her hijab and abaya, a long dress that covered her body, in front of male jailers. When she objected, she said, she was removed from the area and taken to a holding cell, where she removed her hijab in front of a male jailer.
She said she agreed to remove her headscarf for her booking photo after being told that the photo would never be released to the public. But months later, she found it on a third-party website that charges users to take down the photos.
After taking the photo, officers gave her a bedsheet to use as a hijab. Al-Kadi eventually was told to remove her abaya and change into a jail uniform, while two female officers watched her. Ramsey county policy says that misdemeanor inmates such as Al-Kadi “will not be viewed without clothing”, according to court records.
Under the settlement, the jail has put in place specific rules about how to accommodate inmates with religious headwear when taking booking photos. The county also agreed to destroy all hard copies and delete any electronic copies of Al-Kadi’s booking photo.
The settlement does not require the county to admit wrongdoing….

#WakeUpOlive: Bethel Singer’s Infant Daughter Pronounced Dead by Doctors, Church Rallies in Resurrection Prayer
“Early on December 14th, Kalley and Andrew Heiligenthal’s beautiful little girl, Olive Alayne, unexpectedly stopped breathing in her sleep, organizers of a GoFundMe Campaignwrote on a crowdfunding page set up on the family’s behalf. “She was 2 years old, vivacious, full of wonder, full of life.”
Redding police are investigating the death, which occurred sometime between Friday night and early Saturday morning. The child’s body remains at the Shasta County coroner’s office.
The Shasta County Coroner’s Office did not respond to a request for confirmation of the child’s death on Wednesday, but Torum said the child’s body was taken to the coroner, explaining that bodies are sent to there “in all cases of death where an autopsy will be performed.”
Torum said police are looking into the child’s death.
“If it’s unexpected, we’ll open up a case to figure out how the death occurred,” Torum said. “It’s by no means at this point a suspicious death — but we still have to investigate to see what happened.”
