The Truth About The Crusades

Knights of the Kingdom of Jerusalem - Kingdom of Heaven (2005)

Idiots Run The Universities

So-called "Teachers" blame the Crusades on Christians rather than on invading Muslim armies.

Invading Muslims took Jerusalem, Syria, Egypt, North Africa and Spain by force and made the Christian peoples second class citizens in their own lands.

Then in 1071 the Muslims invaded into the heart of the Eastern Roman Empire slaughtering Christians and "re-populating" the area with Muslims.

The "evil" Christian Crusades were a response by the West to aggressive and genocidal invasions by Islamist armies.

Here is today's words of wisdom from Stefan Molyneux.

Islam - The Religion of Peace Attacks.
In the 7th century radical Islam burst on to the world. This map shows the Islamist armies attacking the Christian Eastern Roman Empire's lands in Egypt and Syria as well as the Zoroastrian Persian Empire.
.
For 800 years the professional armies of the Eastern Roman Empire provided the shield that protected Western Europe from Islamic invasion.

.
Muslims Invade Spain and Italy
In the 9th and 10th centuries the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine) faced endless invasions by Muslims from Africa into Byzantine Italy where they conquered Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily and established themselves on the mainland.
.
For centuries Muslims invaded Christian lands and enslaved the people. But when Christians struck back with the Crusades they was called the aggressors.

'You feckless complicit piece of shit' Kathy Griffin screams at Melania Trump

Asshole Alert

(Washington Examiner) - Comedian Kathy Griffin lashed out at first lady Melania Trump on Sunday after she released a statement calling for a bipartisan effort on Capitol Hill to put an end to President Trump's enforcement of a "zero-tolerance" policy toward illegal border crossings.

"Fuck you, Melanie. You know damn well your husband can end this immediately... you feckless complicit piece of shit," Griffin wrote on Twitter, trolling President Trump for mistakenly calling his wife "Melanie" when saying she was recovering well following a kidney procedure in May.

Griffin's tweet also referenced the controversy sparked by fellow comedian Samantha Bee's use of the phrase "feckless c--t" to describe first daughter Ivanka Trump last month.

Hardwick shows pulled after sex assault claims

Declared Guilty Without a Trial

Men are automatically declared guilty and lose their jobs based only on allegations. No trial is needed.

(Yahoo News) - AMC has decided to pull Talking with Chris Hardwick from its schedules after the presenter denied allegations that he sexually and emotionally abused his ex-girlfriend Chloe Dykstra during their relationship.

Hardwick has also decided not to moderate AMC and BBC America panels at Comic-Con International in San Diego in July.

"We have had a positive working relationship with Chris Hardwick for many years," said AMC in a statement.

"We take the troubling allegations that surfaced yesterday very seriously."

It continued: "While we assess the situation, Talking with Chris Hardwick will not air on AMC, and Chris has decided to step aside from moderating planned AMC and BBC America panels at Comic-Con International in San Diego next month."

Hardwick was due to host the BBC America Doctor Who panel next month, among others.

In a statement released later on Friday, Hardwick said that he is "heartbroken" by Dykstra's post and strongly denies any allegations of sexual assault.

"These are very serious allegations and not to be taken lightly which is why I've taken the day to consider how to respond," said Hardwick in a statement (via Deadline).

"I was heartbroken to read Chloe's post. Our three year relationship was not perfect - we were ultimately not a good match and argued - even shouted at each other - but I loved her, and did my best to uplift and support her as a partner and companion in any way and at no time did I sexually assault her."

Eiffel Tower to have anti-Muslim terrorist barriers

The Religion of Peace™

The Leftist French keep their borders wide open but build barriers around what is left of their culture.

(BBC) - Paris is to unveil its newly built perimeter defences around the Eiffel Tower to protect against terror threats.

Temporary barriers were placed around the tower in June 2016, and are now being replaced with more permanent measures.

Set to be completed in mid-July, the fences cost nearly €35 million ($40.1m; £30.1m).

More than 240 people have died in terror attacks in France since 2015.

Bernard Gaudillère, president of the Société d'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel (SETE) which runs the iconic monument, said the new walls were "rock-solid for absolute security".

Glass walls measuring 6.5cm (2.5in) thick will form two sides of the square, with the other two blocked off by 3.24m (10.6ft) high metal barriers, exactly one-hundredth the height of the tower.

To prevent vehicle attacks, 420 blocks will be placed in front of the glass walls as an added protection.

Catholic hospitals 'will have to perform abortions'

Liberalism worships the killing of babies

(BBC) - Irish hospitals with a Catholic ethos will be expected to carry out abortions when new laws on terminations come into effect, the Irish prime minister has said.

Leo Varadkar said doctors, nurses or midwives could opt out of performing procedures on conscience grounds.

However, entire institutions will not have that option.

Mr Varadkar was addressing concerns about surgical abortions raised in the Dáil (Irish parliament).

The government is drafting legislation that will allow for any woman to request an abortion up to 12 weeks, subject to a cooling off period, and will allow abortion in extreme cases between 12 and 24 weeks.

The taoiseach said the legislation would follow the model of the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act 2013, which allowed for terminations in extreme medical circumstances, and allow individual medics to opt out.

"It will not, however, be possible for publicly-funded hospitals, no matter who their patron or owner is, to opt out of providing these necessary services which will be legal in this state once this legislation is passed by the Dáil and Seanad (senate)," he added.

"I'm happy to give you that assurance."

Mr Varadkar added: "That legislation will allow individuals to opt out based on their consciences or their religious convictions but will not allow institutions to do so.

"So, just as is the case now in the legislation for the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act 2013, hospitals like for example Holles Street, which is a Catholic voluntary ethos hospital, the Mater, St Vincent's and others will be required, and will be expected to, carry out any procedure that is legal in this state and that is the model we will follow."

Twitter loses round one in censorship of ideas

California Superior Court Judge Harold E. Kahn ruled on Thursday against Twitter’s petition to dismiss a lawsuit that white nationalist Jared Taylor filed after Twitter banned him from the social media platform.

Kahn ruled that Twitter did not violate Taylor’s First Amendment rights for permanently suspending his account in December, but instead that Twitter may have fraudulently advertised itself as a site that is devoted to free speech. Taylor’s complaint was “very eloquent” and that “it goes to the heart of free speech principles that long precede our constitution,” Khan said, according to a court transcript.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs in the case, Taylor and his publishing company New Century Foundation, argue that the social media platform violated California law by removing Taylor’s account because they disagree with his viewpoints.

Twitter maintained its right to discriminate against any account in its argument and argued that part of the reason they suspended Taylor was because him and other white nationalists benefit by using Twitter to espouse their message.

“I think it reflects that this is a suit about these two plaintiffs with an enormous public stake in this case; they say that their whole enterprise of spewing … white — you know, white racism to the world depends on Twitter; that they built their enterprise around this,” said Patrick Carome, a lawyer representing Twitter, according to the court transcript.

Taylor, who was born in Japan, is an outspoken white nationalist and member of the alt-right who advocates for people of “European origin” to be allowed the right to be “left alone.” He completely rejects the “white supremacist” and “racist” labels, pointing to the supposed higher on average IQ’s of Asians compared to white people, Taylor said in a CNN interview in May 2017.

80,000 illegal alien Muslims blocked by Austrian Army

(Newswars) - Just a few weeks after the opening of a new “Balkan route” of travel through Albania, Montegegro, Bosnia and Croatia, Austrian forces will conduct border-security exercises on June 25 in the border town of Spielfeld in preparation for a wave of 80,000 migrants expected to travel through the route to Western and Central Europe, reports Kronen Zeitung, Austria’s most widely-circulated newspaper.

Taking part in the exercise will be between 600 and 1,000 members of the riot police, “Puma” border squad and Federal Army will participate in the exercise.

“The situation is critical,” says General Fritz Lang, director of Austria’s Federal Criminal Police Office, who says that 30 illegal border crossings are attempted every day.

According to Lang, the migrants are primarily young male loners, “many of whom are considered “terrorist fighters,” which require strong border protection.

Austria constructed a reinforced fence on the Slovenian border in late 2015 after a flood of asylum seekers began pouring into the country from Slovenia. Slovenia, meanwhile, built a wall at their southern border with Croatia to stem the flow of migrants north.

“We must also be prepared for the case that in a sudden large migratory flow, the border protection measures in these friendly countries no longer help,” said Interior Minister Herbert Kickl, adding “We also show that we are serious. There will be no registration and wave-taking with us, but a real defensive attitude.”
