America’s Islam trance – WND.com

Posted: May 14, 2017 at 5:55 pm

Its not that unusual for an Islamic society.

After all, the usual features are all on display the Muslim call to prayer, the teaching of Islam in the nations schools to the exclusion of other religions, preferential treatment afforded Muslims by government and the courts, news coverage reflexively portraying Islam in a positive light, the rapid growth in mosque construction and also the disturbing cultural phenomena of female genital mutilation, honor killings and so on.

Except this is not Saudi Arabia or Egypt were talking about, or any of the worlds approximately 50 Muslim-majority countries.

This is the United States of America. Not America as it might be one day if current trends continue, but as it is right now today.

Thats right. While North Korea threatens to nuke the U.S. mainland, while the left (including most of the media) continues its infantile post-election meltdown into madness, while President Trump endeavors to remedy the torrent of national and international problems unleashed by his predecessor Barack Obama beneath the radar and largely out of view, America is inexorably becoming ever more Islamized.

While a few brave souls have been sounding the alarm over the progressive inroads Shariah Islam is making into American culture, schools,colleges, religion,medicine,law, government and even the military, perhaps the most important question that needs to be addressed at this point is, why?

Why, when Judeo-Christian America has been hands-down the most successful nation in history indeed why, when Americans are blessed with a crystal ball called Europe in which they can clearly see the disastrous future awaiting a once-Christian civilization that recklessly embraces Islamic expansionism would we continue down the same suicidal path that has led to Europes virtual suicide?

There are several reasons, some obvious, some less so.

Lets start with the obvious: Power-mad Beltway Democrats obsession with importing multitudes of voters in hopes of attaining a permanent progressive voting majority, since statistically the vast majority of Muslims in America vote Democrat. Big businesss selfish desire for cheap immigrant labor. Liberal-left Christians naive compulsion to welcome Muslim refugees, not simply to help the needy and downtrodden, but to prove to others and to themselves that they are good people and not racists, Islamophobes or xenophobes. And of course, Muslim Brotherhood-front organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations go-to tactic of exploiting Americas expansive First Amendment religious freedom protections to aggressively advance their Shariah-supremacist agenda.

But there are othernot-so-obvious, but ultimately more fundamental, reasons America is bending over backward to welcome the growth and influence of an ideology openly dedicated to dominating us.

To understand the forces truly at work here, we need to focus for a few moments on the most basic, core, bottom-line issues of life: Unlike previous generations of Americans who grew up under the strong moral umbrella of Judeo-Christian values, tens of millions of todays Americans and indeed virtually the entirety of our nations elites have essentially abandoned the biblical understanding of right and wrong, good and evil, morality and immorality, life and death that served for millennia as the moral foundation of Western Civilization.

Lets get specific: What we cryptically call the left which for the last two to three generations has shaped American life, politics, culture and government simplycannot operate without violating all of the Ten Commandments. Replacing Americans traditional Judeo-Christian reverence for life and higher law is the lefts substitute religion, which violates Gods commandments even as it celebrates its false gods of reproductive rights (Thou shalt not kill), sexual freedom (Thou shalt not commit adultery), wealth redistribution (Thou shalt not steal) and so on. Moreover, as I document in The Snapping of the American Mind, because of this rebellion against reality, the left has succeeded, whether intentionally or not, in pushing millions of decent Americans right over the edge into widespread dependency, debauchery, family breakdown, crime, corruption, addiction, despair and suicide.

This inversion of Americans traditional core values, which causes us, for example, to glorify and celebrate immorality, perversion and mental illness (like troubled people amputating healthy body parts and pretending to be the opposite sex) while reviling and punishing virtue (like the Christian county clerk jailed for conscientiously objecting to signing a marriage license for two homosexuals) is the same inversion of values that inspires us to enthusiastically import into our country as many people as possible who are steeped in a religious and political ideology dedicated to crushing our own.

Its as though were living in a hypnotic trance, in a dream state, wherein we are moving in slow motion toward certain destruction. A few of us see the danger and shout warnings, but to no avail. No one seems to hear us, or else if they do hear they dont comprehend the peril and instead attack us and call us terrible names or worse.

Bizarre alliance

Lets take a closer look now at the bizarre alliance between two seemingly incompatible utopian ideologies the progressive left and expansionist Islam currently undermining America at every turn. After all, those on the Democratic left are continually defending, excusing and running interference for Islamic supremacists in America, not to mention welcoming into our countrythousands of Muslims from the most radicalizedregions on earth. Why would they do that?

The alliance between the left and Islam can best be explained by the overarching reality that both share a common enemy, Christianity. Thus does the left warmly sidle up to Islam, which, truth be known, were it in charge would destroy the left, throwing members of some of the lefts main constituent groups off buildings or hanging or stoning or otherwise executing or enslaving them.

Both since the Marxist left and Shariah Islam both detest and fear Christian civilization more than each other, they therefore are natural, albeit temporary, allies in their shared aim to defeat a common enemy. (After all, America temporarily allied with Stalin to defeat Hitler.)

Andrew C. McCarthy is the former federal prosecutor who convicted the notorious blind sheikh and other jihadists for waging a terror war against America, including the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. He explores the strange alliance between Islam and the left in his 2010 book, The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America.

Zeroing in on the disturbingly symbolic yet pregnant-with-meaning spectacle of President Barack Obama scandalously bowing waist-deep to Saudi dictator King Abdullah bin Abdul Azziz, McCarthy asks the obvious: Why would the leader of the free world grovel before a corrupt Muslim potentate?

Because, writes McCarthy, Saudi Arabia is the cradle of Islam. More specifically, it is the bottomless purse and symbolic crown of a movement which aims at nothing less than supplanting Western political, economic and cultural values. The subversion of those values is Obamas fondest wish: the work of his presidency, the Hope behind the Change. The president was bowing to a shared dream.

Setting aside as equally irrelevant both Obamas Muslim affiliation as a youth in Indonesia and his professed Christianity as an adult, McCarthy observes: The faith to which Obama actually clings is neocommunism. It is a leftism of the most insidious kind: secular and uncompromising in its rejection of bourgeois values, but feverishly spiritual in its zeal to tear down the existing order, under the banner of its all-purpose rally-cry: social justice.

Neocommunists need not adhere to a formal religion, explains McCarthy. Instead, they tend to infuse causes like environmentalism, privacy and secularism with religious fervor. For most leftists, though, religion is a useful tool. It is never a straitjacket because neocommunists consider themselves no more bound by the strictures of creed than by the constraints of tradition.

Still, one wonders, how could the lefts consuming utopian obsessions possibly mesh with the equally uncompromising demands of Shariah Islam, bent on world domination for 14 centuries? The former federal prosecutor of terrorists explains the strange dynamics allowing this alliance:

Nihilism is the key. Todays hard left is defined by what it is against: the United States, free-market capitalism, and any foreign policy premised on defending American interests or promoting individual liberty. Only this part of the agenda is concrete, leaving neocommunism elastic enough to strike alliances with any movement that shares it. What neocommunists are for, by contrast, is a set of abstractions social justice, equality, redistributive rights, the rule of law, and, of course, our values. The details of those can be worked out later, once the more pressing imperative of undoing the existing order has been realized.

In other words, says McCarthy, to the left, change is not designed to create a new system. Its purpose is to destroy the old one. What comes next is negotiable. Thus, he explains:

That is why neocommunism aligns so seamlessly with revolutionary movements catalyzed by religious fervor. What comes next for a millenarian movement may not be negotiable, but before the new can be imposed the old must be swept aside. That calls for collaboration among all factions that need to depose the established order, even if their ultimate designs dont perfectly mesh.

Theres another critical dynamic that explains, at least in part, the cravenly pro-Muslim trance state of the leftist media, academy and culture: Terrorists provide powerful public relations cover for non-violent moderate Muslims seeking the same ultimate end as jihadists for America to become Islamic. As McCarthy explains:

Just as the Soviet collapse has been a boon for the left, the ferocity and overreach of Muslim terrorists has been a dual boon for Islamism. So atrocious has been the bloodbath wrought by al Qaeda, its affiliates and its imitators that it has enabled more methodical Muslim extremists to operate under the radar. Repeated terror strikes, culminating in the death of nearly 3,000 innocents and the surreal demolition of the seemingly impregnable Twin Towers, shock Americans and their government into a myopic determination to prevent additional mass-murder attacks.

In this climate of fear, the calculating but apparently non-violent Islamist compares favorably with the uncompromising, blood-soaked Islamist terrorist. He is thus regarded as cause of hope indeed, as a moderate by government and opinion elites. This, despite the fact that his agenda is essentially the same as the terrorists: Only their methods differ, and even those differences are shades of gray.

We are just scratching the surface here. I invite you to join me in exploring this crucial subject much more fully in the current eye-opening issue of Whistleblower magazine, titled HOW ISLAM IS SECRETLY TRANSFORMING AMERICA.

Robert Miles obituary: Trance DJ behind hit chillout music track ‘Children’ – The Independent

Posted: at 5:55 pm

Robert Miles, who has died from cancer aged 47, was the DJ and music producer behind the Nineties trance smash hit Children, a favourite chillout tune for clubbers at the time and ever since.

He was born Roberto Concina in 1969 in Fleurier, Switzerland, to Italian immigrants Albino Concina and Antonietta Lauro. He spent his early years in Friuli, Italy, where he began playing piano, aged ten. Three years later he was already DJing at friends house parties. Miles began working as a club and pirate radio DJ in the mid-Eighties, using the stage name Robert Milani. He later anglicised the name to Miles, in anticipation, he said, of the musical journey ahead of him.

Children, the track for which he is best known, had its genesis in his garden studio during 1994 as an instrumental tune, featuring synthesiser and acoustic guitar, and was released the following year. The songs title was Miles response to the ongoing war in Yugoslavia and its child victims. He later recalled the reactions to the first club outing for his composition:

I was anxious to see how people would take to this piece. The following Sunday morning I opened my DJ set with Children, feeling both scared and excited... I lifted my gaze and saw a sea of hands reaching up high and a smile stamped on every face... A girl approached me in tears. 'What music is this?' she asked me. I don't think I shall ever forget that moment, when I realised that my feelings had been conveyed through my music. My dream turned into reality.

In an era before music streaming and YouTube, the sales were initially slow. But the tune was gradually picked up by radio DJs across Europe. On BBC Radio 1 Pete Tong made it his Essential Tune of The Week for three weeks in a row. The single sold an initial 350,000 copies, had already sold more than 5 million copies worldwide within two years going platinum in several countries and continues its success in the age of online music.

As a chillout track, played by DJsat the end of the night and giving clubbers a chance to wind down before making the drive home, the tune is credited with saving lives. And in pioneering the genre of dream house, "Children"led the way to the trance music that has since entered into mainstream music consciousness.

Childrenwas featured on his debut album, Dreamland (1996), and won him best international newcomer at the 1997 Brit Awards. Miles moved for a time to London and continued in a more experimental vein, releasing four further album titles, including 23am (1997) and Organik (2001), to critical acclaim. In 2012 he launched the radio station and music community, OpenLab, broadcasting from Ibiza.

His friend and former DBX label head, Joe T Vannelli, said of him I will miss the fights, brawls, criticism, judgements but especially your talent in finding sounds and melodies unparalleled.

Roberto Concina (Robert Miles), DJ and composer: born 3 November 1969; died 9 May 2017

Run cyberpunk with these big cans! – Manila Bulletin

Posted: at 5:54 pm

Published May 15, 2017, 12:05 AM

By Jonathan Kevin Castillo

I have spent long hours listening to music and Serial, Writing Excuses, and Night Vale podcasts, with different Sony headphones. And each of those devices were armed and ready to blast you to skies with the best audio Sony can deliver.

The MDR-1A had been my favorite from Sony for a long time, followed closely by the MDR-10RNC and the MDR-ZX330BT. And now looking holding the Sony MDR 1000X, I wish I had this instead way back when I took two to three hour commutes from home and to the office every day. Its not just another wireless headphones with noise-canceling features, this is a different kind of beast altogether. When it comes to a wireless noise-canceling headphone, the MDR 1000X has pushed aside every top choice Ive had in my head.

The MDR 1000X has style. As in line with other Sony products, the MDR 1000X is carved out to make you look good. It has this cyberpunk-ish appeal that reminds you that this is the future.

Of course Sony has been in the music business for a long time, so it goes without saying the MDR 1000X has excellent audio quality. Despite set in the mid-range line, Sony did not cut any corners to deliver a rich and full sound. What Sony boasts here is the Sense Engine technology, which allows the MDR 1000X to give you that impressive noise-canceling environment and at the time offers ways in how to remain alert in the outside world.

In the normal Ambient Sound Mode, even with the MDR-1000X locked on your head with the volume rocked high, youll still be able to hear the sound of the rumbling of vehicles. What happens here is your music fires up in the background, keeping you alert of your surroundings. Then theres the Voice mode in Ambient Sound, which has the headphones adjust frequencies so you will be able to hear sudden announcements.

You can also place your head over the side of the headphones, just like the gesture when trying to intently listen to someone, and automatically the sound will drop low enough for you to hear any announcements or if someone suddenly asks you a question. It sounds nice on paper but youd wonder if the volume actually drops low enough for you to actually hear whats happening, and the answer to that is yes. The music doesnt go away completely but it fades enough for you to have a quick conversation.

The right housing is touch-sensitive. Swipe forward and back to switch tracks, up and down for volume, and double tap for pause. This is also one of the most comfortable headphones and stays on in a snug fit. And for battery, youve got nothing worry about, the MDR 1000X will last you at least the entire day and carries over to the next.

The Sony MDR 1000X is an outstanding headgear that goes well in style and your surroundings.

Cyberpunk Horror Game Observer Launches on PS4, Xbox One … – GamingBolt

Posted: at 5:54 pm

Bloober Team, the folks who brought usLayers of Fear before, will be bringins us the cyberpunk horror gameObserver this summer,Bloober Teams Rafal Basaj confirmed. The game will be launching on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The game seems to take some cues from theBlack Mirror episode about augmented reality, asking players the question- what would they do if their fears were hacked? The game is supposed to be a lot more cerebral and psychologically manipulative than other horror games on the market. I hope it plays with players expectations of fear, rather than being explicit about what they should be afraid of to begin with. In my opinion, thats where most horror games on the market fail.

It sounds like an intriguing, fascinating game- but not one that I am sure I would have the gumption to play (Id probably chicken out). What about you? Is this something youd be interested in picking up?

After dramatically crashing out of the Giro d'Italia during 2016 while fifth overall, Ilnur Zakarin lost out on what would have been the biggest result of his career. The GC specialist has returned to the Giro d'Italia in 2017 with his eyes clearly on a bigger prize.

The 27-year-old Russian rode a Canyon Ultimate at the recent Tour de Romandie in 2017, but also has a choice of the Aeroad model for flatter sprint stages and the Speedmax for time trials.

The eye-catching red and black bike is complemented with a SRAM Red eTap groupset. The wireless electronic groupset operates without cables, with the battery and motors individually located in each of the derailleurs.

The only cables on the groupset run to the front and rear brake respectively and ensures for a tidy and clean looking cockpit.

Zakarin opts for a standard drivetrain combination of 53/39 chainrings, an 11-28 cassette and 172.5 cranks. The crankset is paired with a Quarq power meter.

Zipp provides the 303 wheelset, which is complemented with 25mm Continental Competition ALX tubular tyres.

Syracuse ‘Diversity and Inclusion’ group’s recommendations flush with racial political correctness – The College Fix

Posted: at 5:52 pm

Syracuse Diversity and Inclusion groups recommendations flush with racial political correctness

Syracuse University has released an updateon its Chancellors Workgroup on Diversity and Inclusion, and it includes a full 18 politically correct (and magnificently institutionally contrite) recommendations.

Because, after all, thats what Diversity and Inclusion workgroupsdo.

Some of the recommendations like the establishment of aDiversity and Inclusion Council are complete, while the others remainin process.

One of the latter,for example, is #4: Offer free tutoring for all undergraduates to address inequities and to support and retain undergraduates from marginalized and underrepresented groups. This item notes there will be [f]ree one-on-one tutoring for historically difficult courses will be introduced in fall 2018.

Since it addresses inequities, does this mean its a two-fer that historically marginalized populations will get the tutoring for historically difficult courses?

And heres more:

8. Require attention to diversity and inclusion as key components of all faculty and staff evaluations. Require an expanded statement on diversity and inclusion in all syllabi Status: In Process

The provosts office will revise the annual curriculum vitae update form to include a question asking faculty members to share how diversity and inclusion issues were included in their teaching, research and service. Future discussions about including diversity and inclusion in reviews of faculty performance will be given attention.

The Office of Human Resources created a set of guidelines to distribute in schools, colleges and units, and senior HR business partners have been giving advice and counsel to the schools, colleges and units to include diversity and inclusion efforts in their daily work. To emphasize diversity and inclusion, formal training programs were led by the Office of Equal Opportunity, Inclusion and Resolution Services, HR and the Office of Faculty Affairs. Department of Public Safety Officers were given Implicit Bias training.

11. Improve New Student Orientation to further understandings and forge relationships across racial, ethnic, religious and other lines. Establish a Syracuse Reads Program that feature books that foster a sense of understanding and inclusion Status: In Process

The program will include books like Ta-Nehisi Coates Between the World and Me and readings will be succeeded by small group discussions aided by diversity educators. Beginning September 2017, the Office of Learning Communities will conduct a student learning outcomes assessment to determine how effective the program is. At the end of the 2017-18 academic year, the Office of the Provost and the Office of Residence Life will determine how to expand and sustain the program after examining the assessment by the Office of Learning Communities. The program is intended to fall in line with the chancellors Academic Strategic Plan and the Syracuse Core 4+4 program.

If #8, in particular, doesnt disturb you, it probably should. AsThe College Fix noted a month ago, the Oregon Association of Scholars reported that [m]ore than 20 colleges have a stated requirement that faculty must show their commitment to the ideals of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Many of these schools include links to online resources which show how to keep the white students from dominating all classroom discussions, reflect a commitment to queer visibility, and teach students not to thoughtlessly reproduce the standard white and Western model of legitimate knowledge.

It would be quite entertainingto see that physics professor pouring over innumerable diversity supplements attempting to figure out how to upgrade his commitment to queer visibility.

Other Syracuse recommendations of note include acknowledging that the schoolsits on Native land at all major public events and flying the Haudenosaunee flag wherever the American flag is flown on campus, updat[ing] the Campus Access Map to include all-gender bathrooms, and creat[ing] a Diversity Portal to inventory and calendar diversity/inclusion programs and activities at the university.

Marine Corps Commercial On Women In Combat Turns Into Fight Over Political Correctness – The Daily Caller

Posted: at 5:52 pm

The Marine Corps first-ever recruitment video showing a woman in combat quickly devolved into a spat about political correctness after it was posted to Facebook Friday.

The recruitment commercial, called Battle Up, shows a young girl confronting bullies, playing rugby and then evolvinginto a Marine later in life, at which point she leads other Marines and engages in a firefight through an ambush. The final scene shows her helping the homeless. Marine Capt. Erin Demochko, who served in Afghanistan, played the woman.

The video has already racked up almost half a million views after being posted to the Marine Corps official Facebook page Friday.

Almost as soon as the commercial appeared on Facebook, conversation devolved into a spat about political correctness. The first comment by Facebook user Chris Clark reads: had to be a chicktired of all this political correct bullshit. now let all the man haters come out of the woodwork

Immediately, the Marine Corps page responded and said: Thats not a chick, Chris. Youre watching a Marine.

USMC feminization underway. Old Mud Marine is bothered by this. Semper Fi! another Facebook user wrote.

Still others, instead of outright opposing female Marines, said they wouldnt mind females around, so long as they meet the same standards.

I look at it this way, if they are thick skinned, can meet the same standards as us and perform just as well, one user wrote. Then by all means you can fight a long side us. But all the PC bullshit goes out the window, you will be treated the same, held accountable just as much as the male counterparts.

Others opted to shame those who disagreed with the idea of women in combat.

Thatthe Obama administration opened up all combat roles to women has functioned as a major source of conflict among servicemembers, veterans and also the public, as evidenced by the heated debate in response to the Marine Corps latest commercial. However, Trumps man in the Pentagon, Secretary of Defense James Mattis, has signaled he will not reverse the Obama administrations decision to open up combat roles to women.

While publicly, many military officials have insisted that the change gives the armed services access to a whole new pool of talent, a DOD report issued earlier this year found that a focus group of 12 junior female officers believed that gender integration is really about forwarding a social agenda.

These women did not view gender integration as a requirement to ensure the broadest possible pool of talent is available for national security, the reportstated.

The point of the latest commercial was to show that the service is not only looking for a few good men,Maj. Gen. Paul, head of Marine Corps Recruiting Command, told the Associated Press.

Were actually using all of our recurring efforts to find good women as well, he added.

Authorities Have Allowed Grooming Gangs To Prosper, Mohan Singh Tells Katie Hopkins

00:58

Grooming gangs have been allowed to prosper in Britain because the authorities are afraid they'll be labelled racist if they speak out, Mohan Singh told Katie Hopkins.

Mr Singh founded the Sikh Awareness Society to encourage Sikh families to act against sexial abuse.

And he said that political correctness had let the gangs succeed.

He told Katie: "I think it is due to political correctness, but it's also down to nobody wants to be called a racist. Nobody wants to call a spade a spade. Nobody really grabbing the bull by the horns and saying "No, abuse is abuse".

"But they don't want to be labeled that we're after one community, we're targeting one community.

"We can can see all the reports coming out Rotherham, the failings of the police, the failings of the local councillors.

"The whole system failed and that's what's been happening for the last 30 years. And it is PC. People are just too too afraid to, you know, just too too afraid to speak the truth."

Car Cloning Is How This English Gang Operates An eBay Scam – CarBuzz

Posted: at 5:50 pm

These guys are scum of the earth.

A perspective buyer can even run all of the necessary checks and, of course, the car will come up clean. Upon "winning" the bid, the seller asks for cash on collection, instead of an eBay secure payment. Thinking everything is all good, the buyer complies and ends up with a stolen vehicle. A recently retired policeman even fell for the scam, believing he bought a 17,000 Mercedes through one of these eBay scams, only to discover after taking delivery that the cars details had been altered. The car was returned to its original owner and he was out 17,000. Same thing happened to another guy, thinking he bought an 18,300 BMW.

A BMW garage informed him the next day he bought a cloned car. For its part, eBay has reiterated that cash on collection is a clear sign of a likely criminal act, and never agree to it. As for the local police, the retired policeman who bought the Mercedes claims the gang was known to police since last January, but the scam has yet to be shut down, and no arrests have been made.
