Philippines President Duterte Declares Martial Law After ISIS Attack

NBC News reports that Philippine President Duterte, notorious for citizen-authorized killing of drug users and sellers, has declared martial law on Marawi, a small Muslim area on the island of Mindanao.  Reports claim that 44 people have died in fighting between Muslim militants who claim affiliation with ISIS versus the military and police. -GEG

Philippine President Duterte declared martial law on Marawi, Mindanao after attacks by Muslim militants who claim affiliation with ISIS, resulting in 44 deaths.

The Philippines is mostly a Catholic country with a population of 100-million people, and Muslims are a small minority.  The rebels claim ties with ISIS, but Muslim separatists have been battling the government for many years.  Philippine officials and the military don’t believe the terror group has any actual foothold in the country but is capitalizing on ISIS’ ruthless reputation to win influence and push ahead its own agenda of a separate Islamic state.

An article from The Last American Vagabond revealed that the takeover by Daesh, also known as ISIS, came hours after President Duterte gave an interview with RT in which he criticized the US and said that the CIA wants to destabilize his country.  While Duterte is friendly with Trump, he says that Congress, the State Department, and other US agencies are not supporting his fight against terrorism.  The US quashed an arms deal with Duterte, and so now he is seeking alliances and weapons from China and Russia.

Duterte expressed concern that the CIA could assassinate him as he seeks closer ties with Russia and China.

Duterte claims that most of the active Daesh/ ISIS militants are foreigners and describes them as “Caucasian-looking” from the Middle East.

The US has used ISIS to meddle in Syria and may be using this model to overthrow Duterte.  The US will likely use Daesh/ ISIS justification for increasing its military presence in the Philippines and thwart its relationships with China and Russia.

CNN published an article in August 2016 in which Duterte expressed concern that white Arabs who use communist tactics would spread the “disease of ISIS”.  He said that unarmed white ‘missionaries’, whom he supposed were Arabs, came to Mindanao for indoctrination purposes.  He compared the missionaries to communists who seek to influence public opinion and then bring in their political officers to convert this influence into state power.




The Proposed California Healthcare System Will Impose A Tax Twice as large As The State’s Entire Annual Budget

California state Senators are proposing a bill to require all health care to be administered and paid for by the state. According to preliminary estimates (which almost always are unrealistically low so as not to frighten taxpayers), the system will cost $400-billion a year, which is more than twice as large as California’s entire annual budget. [Legislators may be corrupt but they are not stupid. They know full well that this cannot be sustained by taxes. So why do they advocate such a plan? It is because they are collectivists who believe that the state should own and control everything – and everyone. They know that the best way to bring that about is to cause the present system to collapse. Only when there is sufficient chaos and misery will people accept such totalitarian rule. The first step is to destroy everything that remains of the old order. -GEG

Back in February, a gaggle of California Senators introduced Senate Bill 562, a publicly funded universal healthcare system otherwise conveniently marketed as “The Healthy California Act”…because who in their right mind would oppose Californians being healthy?  Presumably “The California Single-Payer Healthcare System, Courtesy of A Back-Breaking $400 Billion Tax, Act” was passed over because the truth isn’t quite so ‘marketable’ in this particular case.

Unfortunately, while catchy protest slogans like “Healthcare is a Human Right” sound so appealing, the cost of the Liberal healthcare end goal (i.e. a “Single-Payer System”), as some California Senators are finding out today, is somewhat ‘cost prohibitive’.  According to a study by California’s Senate Appropriations Committee, the price tag of SB562 is around $400 billion a year, which just happens to be a little over 2x Cali’s entire annual budget.

And while we understand from our Democratic friends that paying taxes is “patriotic,” we suspect that a fair number of people in California may be opposed to a doubling of their state taxes, which are already the highest in the country…but that’s just a hunch.

The idea behind Senate Bill 562, according to the  Sacramento Bee, was to overhaul California’s insurance marketplace, reduce overall health care costs and expand coverage to everyone in the state regardless of immigration status or ability to pay.  Instead of private insurers, state government would be the “single payer” for everyone’s health care through a new payroll taxing structure, similar to the way Medicare operates…because governments are so efficient at operating massive bureaucracies like Medicare.

“Health care spending is growing faster than the overall economy … yet we do not have better health outcomes and we cover fewer people,” Lara said at Monday’s appropriations hearing. “Given this picture of increasing costs, health care inefficiencies and the uncertainty created by Congress, it is critical that California chart our own path.”

 

Lara and Atkins say they are driven by the belief that health care is a human right and should be guaranteed to everyone, similar to public services like safe roads and clean drinking water. They seek to rein in rising health care costs by lowering administrative expenses, reducing expensive emergency room visits, and eliminating insurance company profits and executive salaries.

The “health care is a human right” argument is a favorite of the liberal elites.  Of course, the problem is that argument can be applied to a endless stream of goods and services.  Should “universal wages” be a human right?  How about a ‘car’ for every working age adult…after all how can people be expected to work if they can’t afford transportation to work?  The application of this twisted logic has no end….

Meanwhile, insurance groups, health plans and Kaiser Permanente are against the bill due to the “prohibitive expense”. Business groups, including the California Chamber of Commerce, have deemed the bill a “job-killer.”

Eric Clanton, 28, a former Diablo Valley and California State University philosophy professor, suspected in the Antifa bike lock attacks, was arrested for assault Wednesday afternoon in Oakland. He is being held on $200,000 bail after being booked into Berkeley City Jail. Police have not said whether the arrest is connected to online investigative efforts that identified Clanton as the attacker, but examination of the photographic evidence makes it difficult to come to any other conclusion.  -GEG

Brand New Buses Deliver Protesters in Chicago for Higher Minimum Wage


The organized left has transported thousands of demonstrators onto the streets of Chicago in new, unmarked buses, and has equipped the demonstrators with professionally printed signs and banners.  They are demanding a wage increase to $15/hour. If this demand is met, a few rank-and-file workers will benefit, but many enterprises will be forced out of business and thousands will lose their jobs. From there, they will go on welfare and become an even greater burden to taxpayers who, thereby, will have less money to buy things. This will put more enterprises out of business and cause more unemployment, leading to more welfare leading to … You get the idea. When governments override the free market by legislating wages and other prices, it’s just a matter of time until the entire system collapses. –GEG

Thousands of people have recently taken to the streets of Chicago to protest the current minimum wage and demand an increase to $15/hr. One of the initial problems with this wage increase is that a cashier at McDonald’s should not be a job one aspires to retain for the rest of their lives; fast food jobs have classically been reserved as a first job for teenagers, and some college students, who are trying to make a buck between classes.

Increasingly, however, due to poor government intervention in business and expansions in welfare, these jobs have been increasingly filled by middle-aged people who have become victims of the left’s system of governance. So what is the solution? Well, apparently it is to increase McDonald’s service people’s jobs to that of entry-level accountants, which then prompts major fast food chains like McDonalds to do away with those jobs altogether and replace them with self-serving kiosks and machines. So why would this fight continue if it is not only both bad for the company but also bad for the actual future of those fast food jobs? Well, because it is being *highly* funded by far-left organizations.

4Chan first noticed that dozens of expensive, unmarked, buses took to Chicago filled with “protestors” holding uniform and expensively printed signs.

Rather than the MSM commenting on how odd it is that these “working class Americans” somehow all knew to get on and disembark from those busses marching with corporately produced “protest signs”, they continue to report that this is simply a march fighting for living wages

Head of Organization Demanding $15 Minimum Wage Threatens to Shut Down Fast-Food Restaurants


The national organizer for the “Fight for $15” movement, Kendall Fells, is not an underpaid fast-food worker. He is a labor-union activist who, in 2016, was paid $146,000 by the left-wing Service Employees International Union.  When asked who paid for the buses used to transport demonstrators, Fells said they have a “coalition of more than 100 groups in every city”. He added that, if fast-food restaurants cut hours or fire employees, his organization will bring 150 people and shut down their stores day after day after day. –GEG

The lead organizer for the “Fight for $15” movement isn’t an underpaid fast food worker, but rather a well-paid labor union activist.

“No I’m not,” Kendall Fells said when asked by researchers with conservative nonprofit America Rising Squared if he was paid to attend the “March on McDonald’s” he organized this week in Chicago. As it turns out, though, Fells is paid for his activist activities — and he gets paid a lot.

Fells was paid more than $146,000 in 2016 by the left-wing Service Employees International Union (SEIU), according to documents SEIU filed with the Department of Labor. Fells is listed as SEIU’s “deputy organizing director.” He is currently “on loan” to the “Fight for $15” campaign from SEIU, Fox Business reported on Wednesday.

Fells was hesitant to answer questions about the funding for the event and seemed uncomfortable providing details about himself. When the camera captured a shot of Fells’ face he put a hand up and said, “Please don’t record me.”

“The question you should be asking is like how much do these corporations make and how much do these people make and why are they out here protesting,” Fells said, while holding a coffee from Starbucks, which does not pay its workers $15 an hour.

Fells originally described himself as a “supporter” of the protesters, who he said are mostly fast-food workers.

“My official job is to support these people,” Fells said, gesturing towards the protesters, many of whom were bussed into the event.

When asked who paid for the buses, Fells said that they have a “coalition” of “100+ groups in every city.”

“They’re gonna do anything to help these workers get up and get out here,” he said. “Do you have a better idea how to get this many people out here?”

Did Fox News, Under Pressure by Democratic Party Operatives, Fire Sean Hannity for Reporting on the Seth Rich Murder Case?

The mainstream media is labeling news reports about the murder of Seth Rich, the man who is believed to have leaked the DNC emails to WikiLeaks, as “fake news,” and they are trying to bury the story.

Sean Hannity said Media Matters is trying to silence him from reporting on the story by trying to get him fired and by pressuring advertisers to pull their ads.  Media Matters was founded by David Brock and funded by George Soros.  Sean Hannity has been pulled off the air.

Companies including Cars.com, Peloton, and Leesa Sleep have all given in to pressure to cease advertising on the show over Hannity’s pursuit of claims made by Fox News that murdered DNC employee Seth Rich had contact with Wikileaks before his death, which have now been retracted.

Breitbart reported that Hannity, in a series of tweets, accused figures including George Soros, David Brock of Media Matters, and failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton of “liberal fascism,” after his advertisers were reportedly “inundated with emails” from left-wing groups asking them to stop advertising on the show.

Fox News reported that Sean Hannity is taking his annual Memorial Day vacation and will not appear on his show on Thursday and Friday.  Hannity tweeted this message in response:

“Uh oh My ANNUAL Memorial Day long weekend starts NOW. Destroy Trump/Conservative media breathless coverage starts! Did Hannity do last show?”

Other developments in the Seth Rich murder case, according to the source We The Vigilant, include:

  1.  Brad Bauman, the DNC crisis consultant representing the Rich family, is linked (through his family) to the Bauman Foundation that is involved in politics, and lists George Soros partner, David Brock, of Media Matters on its board of directors.  The Bauman Foundation has additional links with George Soros.
  2.   Brad Bauman is employed by a left-wing media group owned by Brock.
  3.   Rod Wheeler, the private detective who was hired on behalf of Seth Rich’s family who asked him to terminate his investigation, claims that Donna Brazile, a DNC operative who had been caught lying in a separate scandal, contacted the police after Wheeler questioned them about Rich’s murder.  Wheeler further claimed that the FBI and police were involved in a cover up of the case.

If it can be shown that Seth Rich leaked the DNC emails to WikiLeaks, the Democrats’ claim that the Russian hacked them will fall apart.

The media is also pushing the Russian story and will be discredited if Rich is revealed as the WikiLeaks source.

If Republicans refuse to investigate the Seth Rich murder, case, it will show complicity.

The alternative media and individuals need to make this case go viral.

 

 




Non-Western Immigrants Consume 59% of Denmark’s Tax Revenue


Non-Western immigrants and their descendants, although only a small percentage of the population, have drained almost $5-billion from Danish taxpayers, which is 59% of all tax revenue. This is roughly equivalent to the US spending $2.1 trillion per year on immigrants—a number so large it defies all logic and reason. –GEG

Study Shows Non-Western Immigrants & Their Descendants Cost Denmark 33 Billion Crowns Annually

A recent study conducted by Denmark’s Ministry of Finance concluded that in 2014, immigrants and their descendants cost Danish taxpayers at net loss of 28 billion Crowns per year.

Furthermore, when Western immigrants were removed from the equation, the net cost rose to 33kr billion.

Compare this to tax receipts from ethnic Danes, who contributed a surplus of 56kr billion in 2014.

The report shows conclusively that immigration has been an economic disaster for Denmark.

In short: 59% of the tax surplus collected from native Danes is spent on ethnic minorities, who are a massive drain on the system.

This would be roughly equivalent to America’s federal government spending $2.1 trillion per year on immigrants—a number so large it defies all logic and reason.

Such shocking findings are often greeted with denial.  Is the study legitimate?  How is this possible?

First, the study was conducted internally by Denmark’s own finance department, in order to see exactly where Danish taxes were being spent.  Furthermore, the methodology is explicit, and the data transparent.

The study is good.

Second, although the data is shocking, it is believable.

Consider that ethnic minorities, who are by definition immigrants to Denmark, represent 84% of all welfare recipients, as of 2016.

G. Edward Griffin Questions Theory That Bankers Were Behind JFK Assassination

G. Edward Griffin questions the theory that bankers were behind the JFK assassination. The theory is that JFK was trying to end the Fed by creating debt-free, silver-backed money through Executive Order 11110, and the bankers saw this as a threat to their monopoly over the money supply. This theory, however, is not supported by the facts.  Executive order 11110 merely authorized the US Treasury Secretary to issue new Treasury notes to replace old currency, and actually gave more power to banks. It was part of a move to remove silver certificates from the monetary system. JFK was a graduate of the Fabian London School of Economics, which is internationally recognized as a training center for global collectivism. Contrary to wishful thinking by Kennedy admirers, his political career shows that he never wavered from that ideology. –GEG

Westerners Must Challenge Muslim Theocratic Extremism

Fox News Commentator, Tucker Carlson, says America must not “become Europe” by embracing immigration of those who are hostile to Western values.  A startling number of Muslims living in Europe support an anti-Western ideology. (20% of British Muslims sympathized with the motives behind the 2006 London subway bombings that killed 50 people.)  A former Islamic extremist, Maajid Nawaz, says the ‘lone-wolf’ theory is a myth, because 80% of jihadist attacks are organized though networks with matching ideologies.  The lone-wolf theory enables security officials to falsely claim they had no way to predict or stop the attack, Nawaz recommends that all people, Muslim and non-Muslims alike, must challenge theocratic ideology. –GEG




London Police Investigating Tweet Exhorting Men to Stand Up to the Government’s Forced Immigration Policy


In the aftermath of the Manchester suicide bombing, London police have opened an investigation into a Tweet from a journalist with the Daily Mail who exhorted Western men to stand up against immigration of people who are hostile to European culture. The implication of this response is that opposition to government policy is something that should be investigated, especially if it includes an appeal to ‘manhood’. –GEG

Metropolitan Police are investigating Twitter users who spoke out against the Manchester attack.

Police have already opened one investigating into Mail Online columnist Katie Hopkins after she said Western men need to “demand action” in response to the terrorist nail bomb attack which targeted children leaving an Ariana Grande concert.

One Twitter user, Dbev007, complained about her tweet to police, claiming it “incited racial hatred” despite her never mentioning anything about race or even Islam, which isn’t even a race to begin with.

In response, police confirmed that the “allegation will be reviewed and assessed by specialist officers.”

It’s mindblowing that London police will spend manpower censoring free speech on Twitter while children are being targeted in terrorist attacks, but this isn’t accidental.

By preventing people from speaking out against the government policies that fuel terrorism, the establishment can condition the public into believing they are helpless in stopping the flood of military-age migrants into the country.

And people who have learned to be helpless are easier to abuse and control.

That’s why the establishment loves flooding Western countries with Muslim migrants: it transforms societies into compliant populations consisting of devoted, radical Muslims who were already conditioned to accept authority without question and native populations who are now cuckolded into not resisting.

Remember it was the Muslim mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, who said Londoners just need to get used to terrorist attacks because they’re the “part and parcel of living in a big city.”

But even more revealing was the loudspeaker announcement telling Ariana Grande concert-goers “there’s no problems here” and “everything is fine” after the nail bomb blast.
