Hundreds of Doctors Push Back Against COVID Fascism

A new open letter with nearly 13,000 signatories, including doctors and medically-trained professionals in Belgium, is gaining major traction. 

Using science-based data showing the previous lockdown was unjustified, the letter refutes further attempts to reapply the same measures.

Nationalists protest open borders migration pact

The UN Says Drop Your

Pants and Bend Over

The United Nations will inject as many millions of dirt poor immigrants as possible into advanced nations.

(TRT World)  -  Thousands of people marched in Brussels on Sunday against a UN pact aimed at fostering cooperation on migration, eclipsing a smaller demonstration in support of the deal, the signing of which brought down Belgium's government last week.

Police said some 5,500 people marched in the bigger protest, organised by Flemish right wing parties in the part of the capital where main European Union institutions are located.

A separate counter-demonstration of around 1,000 people, organised by left-wing groups and non-governmental organisations, took place in the city centre.

Belgian right-wing N-VA, which is the biggest party in parliament, pulled its ministers from the ruling coalition last week after Prime Minister Charles Michel refused its demand that he not sign the UN migration compact in Marrakesh.

Michel had secured a large parliamentary majority in favour of maintaining Belgium’s support of the UN text, with support from the opposition socialists and greens.

Islamists push segregated zones for women on public transport

Creating an Islamic State in Europe

(Infowars)  -  The president of the Islam Party in Belgium, which sees as its ultimate goal the creation of a “100% Islamic state,” announced his plan to create gender segregated public transport under sharia law.

Abdelhay Bakkali Tahiri told RT that the party wants to create segregated zones for women on public transport in order to protect “vulnerable groups” like women and children.

In reality of course, the measure is a reflection of strict Muslim morality codes that treat women as second class citizens and require gender segregation. Some Islamic theologians have even issued fatwas (death warrants) against those who allow mixing of the sexes.

The party also wants to integrate Sharia law into the Belgian legislative system and mandate halal meat in all public schools in pursuit of a “100% Islamic state.” Some have called for the party to be banned.

As we reported yesterday, during a live television debate, the Islam Party’s founder Redouane Ahrouch refused to shake the hands of female participants or look them in the eye.

Following the debate, the women on the panel labeled Ahrouch’s behavior “shocking,” adding that they felt “humiliated” and “worthless.”

The Islam Party, which has its origins in Molenbeek, the notorious Brussels suburb that has been the home of numerous Islamic terrorists, already has two elected councilors and will participate in 28 municipalities in this year’s elections.

Illustrating how the far-left and Islamism are beginning to coalesce, UK Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has also called for gender segregation on public transport for virtually the same reasons.

Back in 2015, Corbyn said he would look at introducing women-only carriages on trains in order to “reduce harassment”.

1984 - "Sexism" gets you a prison sentence

Bask in Your Thought Crime

(Independent)  -  A man has been convicted of sexism in a public place for the first time under a new law in Belgium.

A court in Brussels fined him €3,000 for insulting a police officer because of her gender, Le Soir reported.

It comes as France prepares to create an offence of street harassment, described as “sexist and sexual outrage”.

The Belgian case involved a driver who was stopped for breaking the highway code. The young man – who has not been identified – insulted the police officer because of her gender, the court heard.

He was reported to have said she would be better off doing a job “adapted to women”, in a scene witnessed by several other people. 

The driver was found guilty of three charges: contempt of a police officer, making threats and sexist remarks in public, and a serious violation of another person’s dignity because of her gender.

He was warned that if he failed to pay the fine, a prison term of a month would be imposed.

Senator: Multiculturalists concealed demographic changes from open border immigration

(Breitbart London)  -  Elites brought about a “profound transformation” of Belgian society without any public debate by manipulating immigration figures as more than one million migrants poured in, a liberal senator has alleged.

Writing in Le Figaro, Alain Destexhe said the realities of demographic change are being concealed across Europe by “the multiculturalist lobby which dominates universities, NGOs, public institutions and the media”.

“Like France, Belgium has changed dramatically in a relatively short time, and was transformed into a mass immigration nation without any public debate,” he said, noting that its population rose from 10.2 million to 11.3 million in a relatively short period as a result of mass migration.

Between 2000 and 2010, Belgium’s net migration figures ran “nine times higher than in the Netherlands, four times higher than in France and Germany, and even greater than in the U.S.” in proportion to the nation’s size.

“Yet this statistical reality has been concealed from the population,” writes Destexhe, a doctor who spent a decade serving regions struck by war and natural disaster, and was appointed Médecins Sans Frontières’s first secretary-general.

“Because it’s a given that mass migration must be forced on Belgium, the elites and the media who decide what people are allowed to talk about are careful not to reveal statistics that would cause alarm,” he said.

In his essay for the French broadsheet, the Reformist Movement senator details a number of methods by which he says immigration data is manipulated to keep Belgians in the dark, and thereby prevent any open debate over the “exponential consequences” migration is having on the small country’s demographics.

“Even Eurostat, the EU’s official statistics agency, blithely mixes data and ideology,” he said, pointing to its annual immigration reports, which claim mass migration is “good for Europe” and that the continent needs more of it.

Bomb-grade uranium sent to Islamist Belgium

What could possibly go wrong?

• With Islamist terrorists attacks happening weekly it is comforting to know that weapons grade uranium is being shipped to Belgium, ground zero for much of European Islamism.
• One wonders, to keep costs down does the transport company use minimum wage rent-a-cops for security?

(RT News)  -  The US nuclear regulator is to decide whether to continue supplying highly enriched uranium (HEU) to a Belgian research reactor that produces radioactive isotopes for medicine, but critics have been calling for a switch to uranium not suitable for bombs.

A decision from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission on whether to permit the Belgian Nuclear Research Center (NRC) to obtain 144 kilograms of weapon-grade uranium is currently pending. The NRC says it needs the new material to keep its medical research reactor going for the next decade. The facility produces radioactive isotopes for fighting cancer.

The US has been reluctant to provide foreign partners with weapon-grade uranium as of late because of fears that it could fall into the wrong hands or set back global efforts to limit nuclear proliferation.

The US and Belgian centers have been doing business for decades, and the Belgian side has promised to modernize its production process to use low-enriched uranium (LEU) instead of the HEU used to produce nuclear bombs.

Since at least 2005, the Belgian research center has been assuring the Americans that it would make the transition to LEU, but years have passed with no visible progress and the medical reactor is now exhausting its lifespan.

An ISIS Dirty Bomb
.
(BRG.com)  -  A report that preceded the horrific attacks on Brussels revealed that ISIS terrorists have been working to acquire materials to create so-called dirty bombs with the help of nuclear material. Meanwhile, the investigation into the Belgian explosion exposed more information about those plans.
.
Apparently, the brothers who detonated home-made explosive devices at the airport and a metro station in Brussels were the ones who planted surveillance equipment outside the house of a nuclear physicist last year.

Suicide bombers Khalid and Ibrahim El Bakraoui wanted to get their hands on nuclear material that could have been used to make a dirty bomb. Such an explosive device would contain traces of nuclear material that would get dispersed into the atmosphere following the blast. That material would then be carried by winds and irradiate a large area near, and downwind of the detonation, NBC News reports.

A model for a dirty bomb explosion near the White House shows how significant the damage would be for the nearby population. People would not die immediately, but they’d be more likely to develop cancers after being exposed to radioactive material.  (More)

Belgian vice PM: Muslims celebrated in the streets after Brussels jihad massacre

Inside Brussels Airport after the attack

(Jihad Watch)  -  Yet European authorities are betting the future of their nations upon the assumption that these Muslims will assimilate and become loyal citizens of a secular society. There is absolutely no basis for this assumption, and it could mean the death of Europe as a home of free societies.

“Belgian vice PM acknowledges street celebrations following Brussels attacks,” JTA, March 30, 2016 (thanks to Rudi):

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (JTA) – In the days following terrorist attacks in Brussels, street celebrations broke out in several places in Belgium, the county’s vice prime minister said.

Jan Jambon made the statement about the March 22 bombings, which killed 35 people, on Wednesday during a symposium titled “Terrorism, Israel and International Law” and organized by the Dutch anti-racism and pro-Israel lobby group CIDI, or the Center of Information and Documentation on Israel, in The Hague.

Jambon, a rightist politician, made the remark while acknowledging Belgium has a jihadism problem. One of Europe’s smallest countries, Belgium is the continent’s biggest per capita source of jihadists fighting in Syria and Iraq, CNN reported. In February, Jambon revealed Belgium’s intelligence services have flagged 451 citizens as jihadists.

But, Jambon said, racial profiling of jihadists is ineffective. He also said jihadists hail from various backgrounds, “including doctors, lawyers, and common criminals,” and not only from poor environments. Only one in six jihadists comes from a poor home in Belgium, he said. Jambon urged better pan-European cooperation on terrorism.

Jambon’s statement on street celebrations follows criticism of the media’s failure to cover such events, including by the prime minister of the Flemish Region, one of the federal Belgian state’s three autonomous states. Flemish Prime Minister Geer Bourgeois said that shortly before the attacks, which are believed to have been the work of Islamic State terrorists, his region’s public broadcaster did not report on riots by Muslims. The attacks happened four days after the arrest of Salah Abdelslam, a suspected terrorist alleged to have been involved in terrorist attacks that killed 130 people in Paris last November.

“It is, to me, highly shocking that after Abdelslam’s arrest, 200 young people of foreign origins hurled spontaneously bottles and stones on our police,” Bourgeois said. “It is regrettable that we saw nothing of these images on national television news.”

VRT, the Flemish public broadcaster, said it did not report about the incident for technical reasons and not out of a desire to silence it.

ISIS attacks Europe & Politicians are Clueless

The Issue is Immigration, Not Terrorism

By Gary;

The corporate controlled media hacks and politicians are truly clueless about the very news they are covering.

The media machine was screaming all day about the need for more police and more spying on the people while missing the real story: the deliberate importation of radical Muslims.

Some 34 people are dead in Belgium. Killed by Islamo-Fascists, and another 170 are injured. But the media treats these mass slaughters like an episode of Law and Order to be neatly investigated and solved.

Since 629 AD Muslims have been attacking non-Muslims.  These killings are nothing new.  We have a 1,400 year track record to go by.

There are 1.6 Billion Muslims in the world. The fact of the matter is if 30% of Muslims are deeply religious then you are dealing with hundreds of millions of people who are sympathetic, approve or eagerly support the killings of infidels.

It is as simple as by importing millions of Muslim "refugees" you are importing huge numbers of people who hate you, your religion and your culture.

No more. No less.  But the politicians and their media machine refuse to address immigration itself as the issue.

Exodus: Almost 10,000 Jews Fled to Israel From W. Europe Terror

Europe imports anti-semitism

• I guess there was not enough anti-semitism in Europe so the West decided to import millions of Muslims.

(New American)  -  In 2015, almost 10,000 Jews — the highest annual number ever — fled to Israel to escape the escalating terrorist attacks in western Europe. The exodus is double the number of Jews who left just two years ago, and nearly 8,000 of them were from France.

France has the third largest Jewish population in the world, approximately 500,000. However, nearly 800 Jews also left Britain last year, and large numbers also moved out of Italy and Belgium.

France has of late been the prime target of terrorists, such as the attacks in Paris on November 13, which killed 130 people on the one-year anniversary of the murders of a dozen employees at the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. The killings at the magazine office were presumably in response to several satirical cartoons published in Charlie Hebdo depicting the prophet Muhammad — actions considered blasphemous by Muslims.

Following those attacks, a self-proclaimed Islamic terrorist also killed four customers at the Hyper Cacher kosher supermarket in Paris. Hundreds of French soldiers then began patrolling Jewish neighborhoods, and continue to do so until this day. French officials cite sobering statistics that more than half of all the reported attacks have been directed at Jews, although Jews make up less than one percent of the population.

In Marseille this past week, a Jewish teacher was assaulted with a machete by a teenager from Turkey. After police arrested the young man, he proclaimed that he had acted in the name of ISIS. This latest attack has prompted a local Jewish leader, Zvi Ammar, to advise fellow Jews to refrain from wearing their traditional skullcaps (known as kippas), at least until there are “better days.”  However, other Jews and French officials fear that such a reaction would be seen as giving in to the terrorists.

 A July 2014 march in Paris, announced as an event to support the cause of the Palestinians, turned instead toward the looting of Jewish businesses, while perpetrators shouted anti-Israeli slogans.

Paris Massacre:
A Product of Muslim Ghettos

Fireworks banned - Might offend Muslims

Just cave in to Islam

I think it is fair to say that both World Wars 

cut the balls off European men.

(Breitbart)  -  While the Belgian capital’s annual New Year’s Eve fireworks have been cancelled because of the terror threat in Brussels, a small German town has taken the unusual step of banning bangers over fears it may trigger traumatised foreigners.

Inhabitants of the town of Arnberg, district Arnberg in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) have been told not to set off fireworks in the vicinity of local migrant accommodation, while migrants taking refuge in the town have been banned from buying them altogether.

The weight of the ban falls most heavily on refugees themselves, reports the Lippische Landes-Zeitung, as the lightweight wooden construction of temporary migrant accommodation halls are particularly vulnerable to fire. 

Town spokesman Christoph Söbbeler told press the council had put up posters in several languages stating that for “security reasons” they had been banned from buying fireworks.

Americans and Belgians mark 70th anniversary of Battle of the Bulge

Standing Against Fascism

• The U.S. lost 10,000 dead in a few weeks and 23,218 are still listed as "missing" in repelling the German Ardennes winter offensive.

(The Guardian)  -  Braving snowy weather, Americans and Belgians gathered in the Ardennes on Saturday to mark the 70th anniversary of one of the biggest and bloodiest US battles of the second world war, the Battle of the Bulge.

Jean-Claude Klepper, 62, of Virton, Belgium, and his 15-year-old daughter Aurélie dressed up like US GIs to mark the occasion.

“We must never forget what happened in 1944,” the elder Klepper said. “Many American soldiers came here to defend Europe. We must honour them for what they did.”

Stephen Sams, 41, a US soldier based in Germany, said for him the battle waged in the dense forests and narrow valleys of Belgium and neighbouring Luxembourg epitomised “the unwillingness of American forces to give up in the face of adversity”.

Starting on 16 December 1944, and for nearly six weeks, more than 600,000 American soldiers, fighting in freezing conditions and often hungry and dog-tired, took part in desperate efforts to contain, then throw back, a surprise German counteroffensive masterminded by Adolf Hitler himself.

The British prime minister, Winston Churchill, hailed the ultimate result as “an ever-famous American victory”. But it came at a high cost: 80,987 US casualties, including 10,276 dead, 47,493 wounded and 23,218 missing, according to the US army’s official history.

Total German casualties are estimated at 81,834, including 12,652 dead and 30,582 missing.

After the end of the battle, on 28 January 1945, Allied forces attacked Germany in unison, eventually leading to the Nazi surrender and the end of the war in Europe.

In the town of Bastogne, where soldiers of the 101st Airborne held out despite being cut off and surrounded, shops and windows were decorated Saturday with American and Belgian flags. One local restaurant posted a drawing of an American flag and the message “thank you”.

Doomed From Day One
By December, 1944 the war was already over. Germany was only able to mount the Battle of the Bulge by stripping all the other fronts of combat divisions and armor.
.
Far more interesting was yet another total failure of military intelligence as glaring as Pearl Harbor.  The Germans were able to gather a large offensive force right under the noses of U.S. and British military "intelligence".  American troops were caught literally with their pants down and overrun by German Panzer divisions.
.
After Pearl Harbor and the Bulge our military "intelligence" agencies proved their worth again and again by being caught by surprise with the Communist invasion of South Korea, 9-11 and ISIS.

Americans forget the Eastern Front
Western history books and movies might make the casual student believe that General George Patton almost won the war by himself.  That was far from the case.  Before a single allied soldier set foot on the beaches of Normandy World War II was effectively over.  Russia had beaten Germany.
.
The Soviet Union had won the war at the Battles of Stalingrad (1942), Kursk, Dnieper and Smolensk (all 1943). 
.
Stalingrad still ranks as the greatest battle in history dwarfing the modest Battle of the Bulge.  At Stalingrad Nazi Germany was gutted in a contest pitting armies numbering 2.2 million troops.  The Axis forces alone lost 850,000 casualties and the Russians 1,129,000 casualties.
.
.From October,1943 on it was simply a foot race to see how fast the Germans could run away from the Russians.  The only real challenge for the Russians was being able to move troops West as fast as the Germans could retreat.

Cafe in Belgium: Dogs Allowed, Jews Are Not

Sign in Belgian cafe reads: Dogs are allowed inside, Jews are not. Photo: Screenshot/Yediot.

"Allah be praised, now I can drink

coffee without Jews around."

The Belgian League Against Antisemitism (LBCA)  filed a complaint on Wednesday with the mayor of  Saint-Nicolas, Jacques Heleven, against the proprietors of a cafe that hung up a sign banning Jews from entering the establishment, Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot reported.

According to Yediot, the owners of the cafe are likely to have Turkish origins.

The objection was lodged in accordance with a 1981 Belgian law banning acts of a xenophobic or racist nature.

The sign read, “Dogs are permitted to enter this establishment but Jews are not under any circumstances.” A French version of the text replaces “Jews” with “Zionists.”

The window display also included a Palestinian flag, an Israeli flag crossed out with a red “X”, and two Palestinian kaffiehs hanging alongside.

Model "fired" for being a hunter

L'Oreal: "Thou shalt not hunt."

• Model's video went viral racking up over 2 million views on YouTube in days.  But L'Oreal suddenly decided they "no longer needed her services" when a photo came out that she enjoys hunting.
• Naturally leftists and women's rights groups are silent.

The Belgian beauty hired by cosmetics giant L’Oreal Professionnel after photos of her cheering in the stands at a World Cup match went viral has deleted her Facebook page that featured a photo of herself posing with a gun and a slain Oryx gazelle.

L’Oreal Professionnel has also confirmed that the beauty, 17-year-old Axelle Despiegelaere, will not be continuing on with the company beyond a nearly 90-second hair tutorial video she has already filmed.

“She collaborated on a one-time basis (one-time, yeah, I believe that) for social media use in Belgium,” a L'Oreal Professionnel representative told ABC News today. “It was a one-time contract which has been completed reports ABC News.

“She was not a spokesperson.”

Photos of Despiegelaere’s cheering on her country during a World Cup match against Russia in Rio June 22 went viral after they were plastered around the world in newspapers and social media.

The blonde was decked out in red, black and yellow face paint -– the colors of Belgium’s flag -- wearing a matching hat with horns and waving pom-poms in the candid photos.

Two weeks later, on July 8, Despiegelaere announced on Facebook that she had signed a contract with L'Oreal.

"Feeling excited," she wrote at the time.

As the spotlight on Despiegelaere grew, so too did the spotlight grow on the photo she posted July 1 of herself with the dead gazelle. The photo was posted one day before her home team, Belgium, defeated Team USA 2-1 in the World Cup.

“Hunting is not a matter of life or death,” Despiegelaere wrote in the photo’s caption. “It’s much more important than that…this was about 1 year ago…ready to hunt Americans today haha.”

.
Despiegelaere has since deleted her Facebook page.

The representative for L'Oreal declined to comment on the photo today, saying only, “The photo was released privately and is not one of L’Oreal Professional’s.”

Despiegelaere’s hair tutorial video has already racked up over 2 million views on YouTube.

Hired and Fired in Days
L’Oreal Cosmetics couldn't wait to hire the 17-year-old Belgian beauty Axelle Despiegelaere after photos of her cheering in the stands at a World Cup match went viral.  But suddenly her services were no longer required when a Facebook photo was seen with her hunting.
.
It appears that equal rights for women does not exist when they enjoy hunting.
