Month: October 2023

On Friday (19th October), one of the associate professors identified as Dr. Mika Tosca at the School of Art Institute in Chicago apologized for calling Israelis ‘pigs’ and ‘bad people’. “I am deeply sorry for writing what I wrote and hurting many people with my words. And I am especially sorry to Israeli people that I broadly placed at fault for the war,” the professor said in an Instagram story.

This comes a day after Dr. Mika used harsh words for Israelis blaming them for the ongoing tensions between Israel and Palestine after Islamic terrorists of Hamas slaughtered over 1500 Jews in Israel, and took hostages, leaving several thousand injured too. “Israelis are pigs. Savages. Very very bad people. Irredeemable excrement. The propaganda has been downright evil. After the past week, if your eyes are not open to the crimes against humanity that Israel is committing and has committed for decades, and will continue to commit, then I suggest you open them. It’s disgusting and grotesque. May they all rot in hell,” she had written in an Instagram post which now stands deleted.

Issuing a public apology directed to the Israelis who were brutally attacked by the terrorist organization Hamas on 7th October 2023, the professor said, “I know that my words perpetuated harmful stereotypes. I allowed my reaction to the violence in Israel and Palestine to take an appropriate and offensive form and I am taking proactive steps to learn how I can do better to be better.”

She added that she realized her mistake and said, “I recognize that my harmful words are an unfortunate distraction from what I feel deep in my heart: all people, no matter their race, religion, sexual orientation, identity or country of origin, deserve to live in peace, free from hate and oppression. To many Israeli and Jewish people who I hurt with my words: I am truly sorry. I own my mistake and promise to be better. I hope you can forgive me.”

It is important to note that the original post in which the professor abused and blamed the Israelis has been deleted. As per the Instagram bio of the professor, she is a ‘transsexual climate scientist’ working at the School of Art Institute in Chicago.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine marks the most devastating single incident with the terrorist organization Hamas attacking the Jewish state on 7th October and massacring at least 1,400 people.

Updating about the Israel-Hamas war, the Israeli military said on 16th October that it has notified the families of 199 people so far that their loved ones are among those who have been held hostages in the Gaza Strip after they were abducted by Hamas terrorists during the 7th October surprise attack. 

The Iranian Foreign Ministry claimed that Hamas ‘potentially’ was ready to release the nearly 200 Israeli and other foreign nationals it has held hostage if Israel stops airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, the Times of Israel reported. However, the terrorist group, Hamas hasn’t acknowledged making such an offer.

This seems to be a big story, and most of the conservative media seems to have missed the fact that both parties in this business deal are World Economic Forum acolytes, not just one.

From time to time, I check in on the Young Global Leaders website to keep tabs on the alumni as well as the newcomers, and a year or two ago, one name in particular caught my attention: it was John R. Tyson, the CFO for Tyson Foods, Inc.

For those of you who don’t know, YGL is a Klaus Schwab initiative, and directly linked to the WEF; the organization functions as one big social network for the philosophically like-minded globalists pushing towards a one-world “own-nothing-eat-ze-bugs” communist government… which is why I’ve been completely unsurprised to see Tyson plants closing left and right, citing “costs.” Yeah, uh huh, sure. According to Reuters, Tyson closed two plants this spring, and this summer, announced the impending closure of four more.

Now, according to a Tuesday press release from Tyson:

Tyson Foods, Inc. … has reached an agreement for a two-fold investment with Protix, the leading global insect ingredients company. The strategic investment will support the growth of the emerging insect ingredient industry and expand the use of insect ingredient solutions to create more efficient sustainable proteins and lipids for use in the global food system.

Through a direct equity investment, Tyson Foods will acquire a minority stake in Protix to help fund its global expansion. In addition, Tyson Foods and Protix have entered a joint venture for the operation and construction of an insect ingredient facility in the continental United States. Upon completion, it will be the first at-scale facility of its kind to upcycle food manufacturing byproducts into high-quality insect proteins and lipids which will primarily be used in the pet food, aquaculture, and livestock industries.

For some quick context:

Tyson Foods is the largest producer of poultry in the U.S. (by market share), and according to an article from January of this year that number is “approximately 25%,” which yielded more than $53 billion in sales for 2022.

Along with Tyson, Protix also has direct links to the WEF: in 2015, Protix received a “Technology Pioneer” award from the Forum, and the company’s CEO, Kees Aarts, is listed at the WEF website.

So, the largest poultry provider in the U.S. has hammered out a deal with a European “insect ingredient” enterprise, to expand operations, and together, these companies plan on erecting a “first at-scale facility of its kind” in the states?

Some might argue that Tyson’s partnership with Protix is a strategic move to network with a company that can supply poultry feed—but I think the more obvious link between Tyson and Protix is the WEF, and of course, the Forum’s mission to transition the great unwashed to a diet of filthy insects. From the press release, we can’t quite tell if humans are included in this equation given the vague language, but let me make it crystal clear… from Protix’s website:

Protix produces ingredients for feed and food for a broad range of creatures, ranging from chicken to shrimp and from pets to humans [emphasis added].

We knew this was coming, because in fact, it’s already here. The WEF and its ideologues have been using school children—like good communists always do—as guinea pigs (see essays on this by my colleague Monica Showalter here and here). We’ve lived in a time of tremendous provision and food security, but this should serve as a warning, compelling us to transition away from Big Food and creating a self-reliant food system. And, just in case you needed a reminder about what their end goal really is:

The photo chosen by Liberation for its front page is a reduction of the Amr Nabil Associated Press picture from yesterday, Wednesday October 18, showing anti-Israel protesters. Liberation chose to highlight the protester and the placard he is holding up. It shows a child, allegedly a victim of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, in the ruins of Gaza.

This photo, which was re-circulated in abundance by pro-Palestinian X / Ex Twitter accounts, was the subject of numerous ” ratings”.

After some quick research, this photo was produced earlier this year. Viewed in high resolution, it shows numerous artefacts on the child’s forehead and chin, as well as a hand with an unusual number of fingers, which is typical of photomontages created using artificial intelligence.

This photo was probably generated after the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria in February, as here, for a Change petition calling on the US to end its sanctions against Syria or in this tweet dedicated to the earthquakes in Turkey.

In 2017 the British think-tank Chatham House conducted a poll in ten European nations, asking whether “All further migration from mainly Muslim countries should be stopped”.

Before we turn to the results, please keep in mind that Chatham House is a mainstream, well-recognized, quintessentially establishment institution – not some crazed Right-wing outlet. It just happened that in this case they asked the question no one else dared to.

The overall response by the polled Europeans was abundantly clear. 55 per cent agreed with the statement, 25 per cent neither agreed nor disagreed, and only 20 per cent rejected the idea to put a halt to migration from majority Muslim countries. A Pew poll a few years later showed similar results, with a median of 51 per cent rejecting the idea of more immigration into Europe. 

All of these results, however, conceal an important fact: Migration takes place in Europe all the time, and most people do not oppose the idea of freedom of movement within the European Union.

In Austria, for example, the largest group of foreign nationals come from Germany – and there is no widespread movement demanding the closure of the German-Austrian border. The reason for this is that the Austrian public would not consider a German moving from Stuttgart to Salzburg a “migrant” in the way the term is currently used in the political discourse.

Similarly, even the supposedly notoriously xenophobic Poles had no problem throwing their borders wide open for Ukrainian refugees and providing humanitarian assistance on a massive scale. 

In the imagination of the European public the term “migrant” has become explicitly linked to the thought of immigration from countries with distinctly non-European cultures, which is one reason why especially Eastern Europeans steadfastly refuse to participate in any of the migration schemes coming routinely from the European Commission these days.

Contrary to their post-national and post-modern Western neighbours, the countries that once belonged to the Soviet sphere of influence are jealously guarding their national and cultural identity.

For Western elites this is just some reactionary nationalism of yesteryear, but maybe those Easterners are on to something. A few days ago massive pro-Palestinian and in many cases pro-Hamas protests erupted in major Western European cities, but were conspicuously absent in the East.

The European Union likes to claim that the horrors of the Holocaust were a founding event in its history, yet we have to ask: If you are a Jew, do you feel safe in Brussels, Berlin, London, or Paris? Or might it be that the only places where being openly Jewish in Europe are getting fewer and fewer. It is only the supposed “racist” places like Poland, Hungary, and a few others where wearing a kippah is not seen as an invitation to public abuse.

But of course, it might start with the Jews, but it never stops there: A few days ago two Swedish tourists were shot by a rejected asylum seeker from Tunisia in an Islamism-inspired terrorist attack in Belgium. The event was reminiscent of the attack on a German Christmas market in 2016 that killed 12 people when another Tunisian asylum seeker drove a truck into a crowd of people visiting the market. On Saturday, a schoolteacher was stabbed by another Islamist in France, forcing President Macron to mobilize thousands of troops due to increased security concerns. 

More and more people are starting to wonder who is allowed into Europe, and whether there is any attempt at truly vetting these migrants. Both attackers were known to the Belgian and German authorities, yet once someone arrives in Europe they never leave again. This is why the new “migration pact” and its idea of quotas for how many migrants a country has to take in, is increasingly viewed as a Trojan horse to implement failed Western migration policies in the East.

At the time of writing, it remains uncertain how events in the Middle East will continue to unfold, but across the Mediterranean a very clear picture is emerging.

The European Commission’s idea of a migration pact that is often indistinguishable from an open border policy will be ending. It is not fully visible yet, but the last few days have shifted the moral high ground in the migration debate.

There is no way for Germany, Belgium, Sweden or France to continue their claim that they have a better immigration policy than, for example, Poland or Hungary.

They have not said it yet, but Warsaw and Budapest will point out what has become obvious: Nobody takes you seriously if you constantly talk about the last Holocaust, when you simultaneously open your borders to those who are willing to commit the next one.

Austria’s opposition Freedom Party (FPÖ) has significantly increased its lead over the other Austrian parties, according to recent polling.

Not only is the FPÖ Austria’s most popular party, but it would score 32 percent if elections were held today, according to the APA/ATV Austria Trend poll. Meanwhile, support has fallen for the moderate Christian Democrats (ÖVP), which is in second place at 22 percent. The ÖVP, which is currently ruling with the Greens, has seen its support halve from its 44 percent polling high in 2020.

The Freedom Party currently has a full 10-point lead. The social-democratic SPÖ achieved 21 percent, the Greens 9 percent, and the left-liberal Neos 9 percent.

In addition, 55 percent of Austrians say they can support FPÖ’s participation in government, with only 35 percent opposed to this.

The polling shows that the FPÖ and the ÖVP have a chance to form a coalition; however, bad blood remains between the two parties after the ÖVP collapsed their coalition over the Ibiza Affair and joined the Greens to maintain power.

The FPÖ may hold a significant lead, but it faces considerable opposition from the political mainstream in the country, with all major political parties vowing not to elect its leader as chancellor should it return to parliament as the largest party after fall elections in 2024.

The FPÖ’s rise in the polls began in May 2022, and it was only last month that it rose above the 30 percent mark for the first time. The SPÖ, which was just under 30 percent in the summer of 2022, has fallen to 21 percent. If the current figures do not change significantly by autumn of next year, Kickl could become the first FPÖ chancellor of the Austrian Republic.

Austria saw a record number of asylum applications in 2022. In fact, asylum applications nearly tripled since 2021, reaching nearly 60,000. The news has shocked Austria and led to a sharp backlash from a population highly skeptical of mass immigration. The FPÖ, more so than any other major party, has made immigration restriction central to their platform.

At the same time, the FPÖ party is the only major party opposed to Russian sanctions, which it blames for creating inflation and economic turmoil in the Austrian and European economies. Many Austrians are sympathetic to this position.

“It’s finally time to appear in the EU and say: These sanctions harm us much more than Putin. Our people have to foot the bill for them,” said deputy FPÖ chairwoman Dagmar Belakovich in the plenary session of the National Council last year.

The party’s leader, Herbert Kickl, has also pointed to the absolute necessity of Russian energy for Austria’s households and businesses. He blames much of Austria’s inflation woes on the economic sanctions on Russia.

“If you were honest, you would have to say to the population: We can’t do without this Russian oil and gas for a long time,” said Kickl. “We need this cheap energy for households, for heating, for cooking, for hot water, for manufacturing companies.” 

As Remix News previously reported, aside from security and foreign policy, the FPÖ has enjoyed success with its proposals for economic reform, recently calling for the introduction of a rent freeze until 2026 to provide real relief to those struggling with the cost-of-living crisis.

The party also remains fiercely opposed to the rising digital economic climate and staunchly supports the right to cash payments being enshrined in Austria’s constitution.

Algerian footballer Youcef Atal has become the latest Muslim footballer to be reprimanded by a European football club after France’s Nice suspended him for reposting an allegedly anti-Jewish message on social media related to the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.

The move, on Wednesday, came less than two days after French prosecutors launched a preliminary investigation into Atal on suspicion of “glorifying terrorism”, following complaints filed by local politicians.

“Given the nature of the publication shared [by Atal], and its seriousness, the club has taken the decision to take immediate disciplinary action against the player, prior to any action that may be taken by sporting and legal authorities,” the Ligue 1 club said in a statement.

“As such, the club has decided to suspend Youcef Atal until further notice.”

Atal is suspected of sharing a video from a Palestinian preacher on Instagram, purportedly calling for violence against Jewish people. He has since deleted the message.

The Nice prosecutor’s office confirmed in a statement it was investigating Atal under laws covering the “glorification of terrorism” after being notified by local politicians.

The prosecutor’s office said Atal is also being investigated for “public incitement to hatred or violence because of a particular religion”.

Earlier on Sunday, the French Football Federation (FFF) said its ethics committee would investigate the player, with FFF chief Philippe Diallo denouncing the contents of the post.

“Climate change” is in the news daily, with each featured story getting an attention-grabbing sensationalist headline. The frenzy is at its peak now because it’s the time of year for tropical storms and wildfires. However, to appreciate that these stories are pure narratives, it’s a good time to consider the facts behind the so-called “greenhouse gases.”

Several atmospheric gases, including carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor, absorb light in the infrared region. These are collectively known as the “greenhouse gases” because absorbing infrared energy warms up the air—hence the name greenhouse effect.

Carbon dioxide, on a per-molecule basis, is six times as effective an absorber as water is. However, that’s offset by the fact that carbon dioxide is only about 0.04% of the atmosphere (400 parts per million). This means that, overall, it’s much less important than water vapor in terms of its ability to warm the atmosphere.

And then there’s methane. Pound-for-pound methane can trap 25 times more heat than carbon dioxide. However, there are two reasons why scientists say it will never significantly contribute to global warming. Primarily, it is by far the rarest of the green house gases.

But there is another reason why we will probably never have to worry about methane being a major contributor to global warming: Methane’s narrow absorption bands, at 3.3 microns and 7.5 microns , perfectly match…water’s! Did you catch that? It’s worth emphasizing: “The ratio of the percentages of water to methane is such that the effects of methane are completely masked by water.”

Nor is methane a cow problem that humans can remediate by going meatless. Instead, wetlands and termites are the real methane producers: “When it comes to methane, another greenhouse gas, termites are responsible for 11 percent of the world’s production from natural sources. Seventy-six percent comes from wetlands…”

Many studies have attributed a methane spike to soaring emissions from tropical wetlands, predominantly in Africa. “A ‘significant change’ in tropical weather ascribed to human-caused climate change has led wetlands to get bigger and more plants to grow there, thus leading to more decomposition — a process that produces methane.”

You noted, of course, how the quoted language blames methane on human-caused climate change. Yet this same “human-caused” climate change is also blamed for transforming lush Hawaii into an arid ticking time bomb that, in the summer of 2023, erupted into a devastating inferno. Moreover, it seems like it wasn’t that long ago when environmentalists were ardent supporters of wetlands.

Meanwhile, ignoring the predominance of naturally occurring methane, a band of climate fanatics wants to eliminate traditional farming and ranching because they are sources of methane, primarily from ruminant livestock and paddy rice. Rice growing produces methane gas by feeding microbes that live under the rice paddies. Cattle produce methane during their digestive process.

In Ireland, farmers may be forced to kill some of their livestock to meet government requirements:

Greenhouse gas emissions in Ireland’s agriculture industry must be reduced by 25 per cent by 2030. This is part of the country’s latest Climate Action Plan, which pledges to halve overall carbon emissions by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050.

Current initiatives to cut methane gas emissions from domestic livestock like cows and pigs by culling them, a potentially famine-inducing policy, fail to take into account the sheer volume of feral animals. For example, in Australia, “there is 10 times the number of feral pigs … than domestic.”

By some estimates, Australia contains “ 400,000 wild horses, five million donkeys, 150,000 water buffalo, one million camels, and 24 million feral pigs—in comparison, the United States contains just six million feral pigs.”

To put things in perspective, let’s go back to the lowly termites. Consider that, in 1992, “it was estimated that the digestive tracts of termites produce about 50 billion tons of CO2 and methane annually. That was more than the world’s production from burning fossil fuel.”

In 1982, the journal Science published an article titled “Termites: A Potentially Large Source of Atmospheric Methane, Carbon Dioxide, and Molecular Hydrogen.” Here is the key sentence: “The estimate gross amount of carbon dioxide produced is more than twice the net global input from fossil fuel production.”

That same year, the New York Times ran an article titled: “Termite gas exceeds smokestack pollution.”

None of this information stops the Biden administration. In November 2021, it “proposed regulations on methane emissions by the U.S. oil and gas industry, at a direct cost of more than $1 billion annually, to deal with a nonexistent problem.”

Wouldn’t it be nice if a little science got through to the policy-makers behind so-called “climate science”?

The escalation in the Middle East conflict is driving Palestine supporters in particular onto the streets in Berlin. Once again, emergency services are pelted with bottles, stones and fireworks. The police chief speaks of a tense situation.

Berlin – Despite a ban on pro-Palestinian demonstrations, crowds of people and hours of clashes broke out again in Berlin’s Neukölln district on Wednesday evening. The police spoke of a heated atmosphere on Sonnenallee, which only gradually calmed down very late in the evening. Stones and bottles were thrown at police officers and pyrotechnics were burned, as the authority announced on Platform X, formerly Twitter. According to a police spokesman, some emergency services were injured as a result. According to preliminary data, most of them remained in service.

“The situation in Nord-Neukölln is tense,” said Berlin’s police chief Barbara Slowik on the RBB evening show in the early evening. There are certainly several hundred people on the streets in Sonnenallee. “We have to expect that smaller and larger groups will be on the streets tonight, chanting and perhaps even resorting to crimes,” Slowik said. The police are deployed with water cannons to extinguish burning obstacles such as garbage cans or tires on the streets. “We are intervening clearly,” the police chief emphasized.

The police told X that many demonstrators did not comply with the officers’ requests. There is resistance to arrests of suspects, so that the forces have to “use direct coercion”. The demonstrators were clearly participants in a substitute event for a pro-Palestinian rally, which was also banned. According to the spokesman, in addition to Sonnenallee, Reuterstraße, Donaustraße and Hermannplatz were the scenes of the previously banned demonstration.

A dpa reporter spoke in the evening of an aggressive mood and dozens of arrests. According to him, people mainly chanted “Free free palestine” and “Viva viva palestina”. Police said on X: “We see people indiscriminately throwing objects on the street, setting them on fire, filming themselves and celebrating.” Throwing pyrotechnics caused a fire on a balcony, which police officers extinguished.

The chairman of the police union (GdP), Jochen Kopelke, has called for consistent action in connection with such riots. “We need quick court proceedings and verdicts against the rioters,” Kopelke told the editorial network Germany (RND) on Wednesday. He spoke of an “absolutely disgusting mood in Germany” and referred, among other things, to the attempted arson attack on a Jewish community in Berlin on Wednesday night.

According to police, several hundred people also gathered at the Foreign Office. According to the police, however, the rally against violence in the Middle East was ended directly by the organizer because she had no influence on the participants. Accordingly, 50 participants were registered. Several hundred had come.

After the attempted arson attack on the synagogue in Berlin’s Brunnenstrasse on Wednesday night, around 50 people gathered for a vigil against anti-Semitism organized by neighbors. “Since we ourselves live in this neighborhood, we feel urgently obliged to resolutely oppose the anti-Semitic motivated failed arson attack of this morning as well as anti-Semitism in general,” said the chairwoman of the meeting, Sonja Kloevekorn, to the German Press Agency.

A rocket hit at the Al-Ahli clinic in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, possibly killing hundreds, has sparked great anger, especially in Arab and Islamic countries. There were anti-Israel demonstrations there and also in Germany. On Tuesday evening, the Hamas-controlled health authority immediately blamed Israel for the rocket strike, and neighboring Arab states joined in. Israel firmly rejected this, calling it the impact of a stray rocket belonging to the Palestinian militant organization Islamic Jihad. The U.S. government also does not consider Israel to be responsible, according to “current assessments.”

It was only on Wednesday night that there were riots at pro-Palestinian rallies in Berlin, especially in Neukölln. 20 police officers were injured, it said. Two would have had to end the service. According to the police, 39 people were arrested and 65 criminal cases were initiated. In addition, 12 administrative offences were registered. Dpa

A man has been arrested by French police on suspicion of raping two elderly women in their 90s as they lay in their hospital beds.

The suspect, named as 44-year-old Samir. B., was detained by authorities on Saturday in connection to the double rape of 93-year-old and 95-year-old patients being treated in the geriatrics department of Victor Dupouy Hospital in Argenteuil (photo), located in the northwestern suburbs of Paris.

The suspect was placed under judicial supervision following an initial court appearance on Monday.

Police responded to calls by the hospital security staff shortly after 4:30 p.m. on Saturday after the man was seen leaving the room of the 93-year-old woman, French newspaper Le Figaro reported.

A police investigation found semen on the sheets of the victim’s bed; however, this has not been confirmed as belonging to the suspect, and the police investigation is ongoing.

A second patient informed the responding police officers that she had also been raped earlier that day in her hospital bed. The 95-year-old told the authorities she had been touched sexually by the man and then raped.

The older victim is suffering from dementia, while the 93-year-old victim fell ill on Saturday evening and lost consciousness. Despite efforts by the nursing staff to resuscitate her, she died from a suspected cardiac arrest.

The suspect has initially been charged with one count of rape but could potentially be further charged with murder or manslaughter.

“The second procedure is not opened on the grounds of rape or sexual assault, but in search of the causes of death and the investigations are continuing. An autopsy will soon be carried out,” a spokesperson for the Pontoise prosecutor’s office told Le Figaro.

Samir B. was already known to the police for previous charges of sexual assault.

He is due to stand trial for the count of rape on Nov. 16.
