It’s been a long time coming since 2016 when the referendum passed, because globalist elites resisted stubbornly. The rich and powerful prefer the distance from troublesome voters that an EU-style bureaucracy provides.

But the best organizational system for representative government is the nation state.

That has been the opinion of Vaclav Klaus, the former leader of the Czech Republic, who remarked in 2018, “For me, the Nation-State is the only possible way to have democracy. Democracy simply cannot exist at a higher level, as in continents, let alone global democracy in the world.”

The British leader for Brexit, Nigel Farage (pictured at right), agrees. He discussed the issue with Tucker Carlson in 2017: Nigel Farage Cheers Rebirth of Nation State. Here’s a relevant excerpt:

FARAGE: Well you say “nationalism,” I actually call it “nation-ism” — we believe in the nation state. That is the unit we identify with; that is what we feel part of; that is what we cheer for in the Olympics; and if necessary that is what we are prepared to fight for. It embodies our values, our families, our communities, our heritage, our identity, maybe even our tribe. And I think what happened in 2016 with Brexit and with Trump, and I believe is going to roll out through 2017, is a return to normality.

Back to the present, an upbeat Farage has been doing media interviews, including one with Lou Dobbs who observed that the United Kingdom is “finally a sovereign nation once again.”

Farage is hopeful that getting Brexit pushed through will inspire more successful populist campaigns in the near future:

FARAGE: It’s a funny thing, in 2016 we had the Brexit referendum; we voted to leave — it shocked everybody. And then a few months later, guess what happened — Donald J. Trump got elected as president of the USA, and after that we saw shockwaves in Italy and elsewhere, and I think now the confirmation that Brexit has happened shows you that populism — and it may be mocked and derided by many — but populism is really popular, and I think the portents for Donald Trump’s re-election are really good.

In fact I think the whole western world is going through a transformative historical change and Brexit perhaps is the most public example of that, and I’m really excited by that because what the globalists want to do — big business, big politics, big bureaucracy — is take away our democratic rights, and this is the people’s fight back.

Here’s the full interview:

Robinson was acting as a citizen journalist to cover a muslim gang-rape trial when police arrested him for “breach of the peace”, but clearly the aim of the government was to shut down the speech of anyone who disagrees with Britain’s slavish cowering to Islam. He was quickly whisked away to a 13-month jail sentence which could be dangerous since Britain’s jails have no shortage of jihadist muslims. Furthermore, the government slapped a gag order on the press about the case — an example of how every nation that imagines itself to be a home of freedom needs a First Amendment.

Geert Wilders — who has had his own struggles against censorship in the Netherlands — made a statement calling for free speech to be restored:

The Drudge Report had an unusually large headline spread about the case on May 28:

Paul Weston has also tangled with British authorities about censorship: in 2014 he was arrested for quoting Winston Churchill’s 1899 remarks about Islam’s retrograde culture. So Weston is well positioned to judge what the Tommy Robinson matter signifies about the collapse of the British nation:

Paul Weston: Britain is Now a Genuine Police State, GatesOfVienna.net, May 26, 2018

There are a number of court cases taking place in Britain which are subject to reporting restrictions. A good percentage of these — and we really don’t know how many, which I think is rather the idea — relate to Muslim gang-rape trials. Tommy was under a 13-month suspended sentence for previously reporting on a gang-rape trial subject to reporting restrictions. In other words, if he broke the law again he would then serve the jail time as per the initial sentence.

I’m not sure if the trial he was reporting on when he was arrested was yet another “reporting restriction” case, but if it was (which I think it was) the police have a duty to issue a warning before taking action if the warning was ignored. Again, I am unsure as to what happened here.

But the police made no mention of reporting restrictions or contempt of court; they arrested him for “breaching the peace” which would seem to be a total fabrication and therefore unlawful. His immediate hearing and sentencing suggests this was a planned action by the police (and our lovely government) in order to shut him down.

To further reinforce the actions of a totalitarian state, a reporting restriction has now been put into operation with regard to his arrest. Tommy has been “disappeared” in much the same manner as countless others were airbrushed out of existence in genuine totalitarian regimes abroad, but I think this is the first time in England that a citizen has been “disappeared” in such a blatant way.

Even more horrifying is the supine manner in which this grotesque act of totalitarianism has been received by our media and purported civil-liberties merchants, none of whom have raised a murmur of disapproval at the time of this writing.

Couple this with the video of the woman arrested a few days ago by the police who threatened to break her down if she refused to open it — “DO NOT RESIST US! DO NOT RESIST US!” and I think it is very clear that the government, given the choice of crushing Islam or crushing those who question Islam, have chosen to crush the latter.

So the decent, democratic Britain I was born into has now gone. I warned some years ago of the direction the British police were taking (“Multiculturalism Has Destroyed the British Police”), and it is time to realise Britain is now a genuine Police State.

As the Islamic threat grows via demographics and violence, so the grip of the Police State will increase over the dissidents. Britain has three progressive routes now open to it: First, submit to the State. Second, submit to Islam after the State submits to Islam. Third, engage in revolution within the next decade in order to head off the two former routes.

I don’t think we will, though. I think Britain is finished as a country, culture and people. Our only hope of achieving revolutionary thought is via total economic collapse. When we are hungry and cold we might, just might, become angry enough to revolt. At the moment, however, we can fly abroad to the sun-kissed beaches of Ibiza and get completely trolleyed even as our country and all that is stands for is incrementally stolen from us by 7th century savages in alliance with our home-grown Traitor Class.

Tommy was a threat to the Traitor Class, so they have removed him. He won’t be the last.

London’s Knife Crime Violence Sparks Crackdown — on Cutlery https://www.limitstogrowth.org/articles/2018/04/10/londons-knife-crime-violence-sparks-crackdown-on-cutlery/ Tue, 10 Apr 2018 18:46:56 +0000 https://www.limitstogrowth.org/?p=16422 It’s curious how as society becomes more dangerous because of open borders and permissive laws regarding dangerous criminals (e.g. California’s jailbreaking Prop 47), the citizens’ means of defending ourselves is being reduced by attacks on the Second Amendment.

Over in police state Britain, the government is cracking down on knives in a vain attempt to quell the worsening knife crime violence — when of course the real problem has been unwise immigration.

Below, a diverse London resident carries a substantial blade to rob a store.

Even basic kitchen knives are not safe from British government overreach:

Tucker Carlson and Mark Steyn chatted about various topics on Monday, including observations about London’s knife crime problem (starting 1:53):

TUCKER CARLSON: The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan is now — not making this up — vowing a crackdown on knives, cutting implements, following a crime wave there. He said, quoting “There’s never a reason to carry a knife” in vowing to punish all who do. Meanwhile in New York in related news, Bill de Blasio aide Regan Stephens was arrested after she was caught with an illegal handgun in her car. What do these add up to other than like the end of civilization?

MARK STEYN: Well it’s it’s interesting to me in Britain because I believe the National Cutlery Association has come out strongly against background checks for people who want to own knives. They’re thinking that if you outlaw knives, only outlaws will have knives, and I used the term cutlery seriously because people use what’s to hand.

I was in a French village two summers ago, and a lady and two of her daughters were in their bathing suits and the Mohammed next to them went full Allahu Akbar, stabbed them with a fork — the fork he was having breakfast with — and a helicopter had to fly in and helicopter the wounded to a hospital in Grenoble.

People use what’s to hand, and the reality in London as Katie Hopkins said on your show a couple of nights ago is that 85 percent of last month’s stabbings, both perpetrators and victims, are basically the result of modern immigration policies; and that to tie what you were talking about with the general about the border, that’s the issue — if you don’t have a border, if you don’t have a security perimeter at the border, you wind up having to have security perimeters over everything else, including cutlery displays in London supermarkets.

Knife Crime Continues to Afflict London https://www.limitstogrowth.org/articles/2018/04/06/knife-crime-continues-to-afflict-london/ Fri, 06 Apr 2018 19:51:37 +0000 https://www.limitstogrowth.org/?p=16408 It is big news that London recently surpassed New York City in a top crime category, noted by the BBC: London murder rate overtakes New York’s.

But the main weapon in London isn’t guns — it’s knives. That fact alone should show that violent people will commit their savagery even if no firearms are available. Even if all guns were confiscated in the US (which would cause a civil war), the Left’s imagined utopia of non-violence would not appear: the bad guys will find sharp implements to commit crime because the hardware store is full of them.

A Friday headline from Breitbart.com exemplifies the worsening crime violence: Six Stabbed in Another Night of Violence as Sadiq Khan Dodges Blame For London Crime.

In 2013, London jihadist Michael Adebolajo murdered soldier Lee Rigby using a meat cleaver.

Adding to London’s crime problem is diversity: the city ceased to be majority white in 2012, a shocking demographic transformation caused by immigration and white flight. According to a 2011 census, over 12 percent of London residents were muslim, a number that has likely increased.

Furthermore, the diverse population makes London police fearful about arresting dark-skinned people, a reticence which adds to crime.

In January, the BBC published a reported titled, Nine charts on the rise of knife crime in England and Wales, and one is instructive on the topic of knife crime in London:

The former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage appeared on Fox News on Friday to discuss the London murder stats:

Farage laid out the current crime problem — emphasizing how political correctness is preventing proper policing — but mentioning the substantial “rise in knife crime” in the process.

NIGEL FARAGE: I’m afraid the rise of violent crime in London’s been going on now for some years: it isn’t just gun crime, there’s been a 40 percent rise in knife crime during the course of the last decade and the new phenomenon of acid attacks. So we really have got a big problem in some of the boroughs of London, and what we’re seeing this is not about rules, it’s about policing and we used to have something called “stop and search” where the police would stop a suspects to see whether they were carrying a knife. We’ve stopped doing that — do you know why? Because the police are too fearful of being thought to be racist if they pick up somebody who’s black. So what you’ve now got is political correctness is killing people in London.

In addition, Farage was asked about the series of debates he is having with former Mexican Presidente Vicente Fox on the topic of globalism versus the nation state. Of course, the BREXIT leader is a supporter of the nation-state and Vicente Fox loves open borders, particularly those bordering Mexico facing north:

FARAGE: I’ve been doing a series of debates in universities over America this week explaining to people that actually the kind of globalism that people like Fox support is a globalism in which bureaucracy takes over from democracy, in which the nation-state frankly gets degraded; and I’m trying to explain to students in American universities who’ve been told that BREXIT and Trump are terrible, that actually what happened in 2016 is we voted to take back control of our lives and our nations, and they shouldn’t be scared, they should be excited about the future.

According to the anti-gun left, abolishing the Second Amendment and removing firearms from their law-abiding owners in the United States would end violence and universal peace would prevail.

Meanwhile in the UK, there is no right for a citizen to own a firearm. But that doesn’t stop the bad guys from committing murder and mayhem.

Keep in mind the because of massive immigration, London is no longer majority white. So the many tribes of newbies act within an atmosphere of extreme diversity which we are told daily is a strength. Yet violent crime is on an upswing.

Here are a few headlines from the last week denoting crime among the diverse residents of London — apparently the determined criminals somehow make do with knives:

Is Britain serious about the jihad threat yet?

Concerned citizens who study the enemy to determine the nature of the current conflict in Europe understand that it is an Islamic religious war against the infidels as commanded by allah and written in the koran. Muslims have been behaving this way for 1400 years as their way of conquest. But not everyone in Europe has gotten the memo, particularly among the elites. According to author Douglas Murray, the author of the soon-to-be-published book The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam, important people in Europe are still in denial and don’t yet realize what a bad fix the continent is in.

He says some in Britain are still looking for a foreign policy that caused offense to immigrants, which I suspect is a kind of national solipsism that supplies a tiny illusion of control over the situation.

Murray isn’t shy about saying the problem was brought by the immigration the elites wanted, and now they don’t want to admit their continent-crushing mistake, as he discussed with Tucker Carlson on Tuesday:

TUCKER CARLSON: Besides easy travel, what other factors have made Europe such a common terror target? Douglas Murray is the author of “The Strange Death of Europe;” he’s thought a lot about this and he joins us from London. Douglas, thanks a lot for coming on. One of the things you often hear Americans say, I have said, including last night, is that assimilation is the problem, their people are not assimilated. And yet, you look around, and there are actually a number of groups in our society and yours who aren’t assimilated: Hasidic Jews live apart, the Amish live apart, they pose no threat at all to the country they live in, they love the country. Why is this group different?

DOUGLAS MURRAY: Well that’s the key question, the one that people in Europe across my entire continent, they’re sitting there, thinking about, mulling about at the moment. The political response is to tweak bits of anti-terrorism legislation, the British Prime Minister tonight has announced that she will even have to take Britain out of some of the human rights jurisdictions that we’re under. And this is the sort of thing that all the politicians do across Europe: another terrorist attack occurs and they they have tweaks effectively, but all the time the public are wondering about these very deep problems underlying it, which includes the one you just asked.

What is it about about people from these Muslim communities across Europe that mean that on an average Saturday night in London just down the road from where I am, three young men of Pakistani, Moroccan, Libyan origin would end up stabbing repeatedly at young people whilst shouting ‘This is for Allah.’ The truth is that it is obvious in one way — I mean they are inspired by a version of Islam, a very violent and the worst possible version of Islam, but our politicians are really stuck on this because they, through immigration rules they’ve had for decades, they brought this problem into Europe, and now they just seem to be totally unable to admit that or do any of the things that would would solve it because they gave us this problem.

CARLSON: And against all evidence, they lie about the motives, so if you want to know why someone’s doing something, the first step is to ask him why are you doing this. I want to put up on the screen quotes from an Islamist magazine. These were printed directly after the Orlando nightclub attack here in the United States, and they say it really clearly:

“We hate you first and foremost because you are disbelievers” — that’s about as clear as a good possibly be, then they go on to point two, which is: “We hate you because your secular liberal societies permit the very things Allah has prohibited while banning many of the things he has permitted. . . your secular liberalism has led you to tolerate and even support gay rights, alcohol, drugs, fornication, gambling and usery to become widespread, and to encourage the people to mock those who denounce these filthy sins and vices” — we could go on, but look, the point is they’re saying this is a religious war — why don’t we believe them?

MURRAY: Well because if it is true, then we’ve got all sorts of miseries ahead of us. I happen to think we do, but you know in the meantime, we’re in this transition for a phase in Europe. I just came from a public debate I was doing in Westminster tonight, and you know that people are still, although things are moving, they are still in that sphere where they’re saying, you know what has our foreign policy done that might have caused this? If a guy comes from Pakistan, as one of the attackers on Saturday night did, I don’t think much of our country’s Pakistani foreign policy could be blamed for this. People are almost reaching out to find any reason other than the one that’s staring them in the face because, as I say again, there’s this issue. It came up in Manchester two weeks ago, people might say, no what’s our foreign policy problems that have caused this? Again, nothing that means you’d blow up people at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester Arena on a Monday night

CARLSON: That’s exactly right.

MURRAY: But the person who did that, by the way, his parents came to this country from Libya, they got asylum, and then their kid at the age of 22 blew up 22 people, one for each life, a year of life this country had given him. And those are the questions that our politicians are just totally incapable, for the time being, of addressing in a terrible and growing vacuum.

CARLSON: I want to go back quickly to something you just said because I thought it was provocative. You said if the obvious is true, if what they say about their own motives turns out to be true, it spells a tough time ahead. What does that mean exactly?

MURRAY: Let me give you a quick example. I mean, we all know that it’s a tiny number of actual people from the Muslim communities who are going to carry out a terrorist act, but at two polls last year — one in April last year, one in December — by a very reputable organization showed that in one poll a half and in the other two-thirds of British Muslims said they would not go to the police if somebody they knew was involved in ISIS-like groups. The rest of us in Britain would go at the drop of a hat if somebody we knew of any odd background orientation was involved with extremism, but that’s what we’re now facing.

It’s this question — well if they wouldn’t even try to stop an attack like Saturday if they heard about them, where is the loyalty? What are they doing? What are they thinking? The truth is a lot of those people want to defend the faith and protect their faith as they see it more than they want to show, as it were, the loyalty that should be demanded by a nation of its subjects. We’re still at the point where people don’t want to demand that.

CARLSON: No because it’s it’s too scary. I’m buying your book right after this. Douglas, thank you for joining us.

Among the many things he learned was that immigration is key to Islam’s conquest of the West, so perhaps we should end Muslim entrance to the US and Europe — assuming we are serious about cultural survival.

CIA interrogator James Mitchell interviewed 9/11 planner Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

Mitchell appeared on Fox News Sunday morning to discuss the attacks on London the previous night. He reminded Americans that, contrary to the opinion of some, Muslims understand Western culture perfectly well, but reject it nevertheless. So programs aimed at assimilation are of limited use with the jihad gang.

Responding to a question about Prime Minister Theresa May’s strategy of emphasizing the superiority of “pluralistic, British values,” Mitchell answered, “Well, I think good luck with spreading Western values. One of the pretensions that we have is that they’re just ignorant, that they just don’t know what our Western values really are. In my experience from having talked with the senior terrorists that I talked to when I was in as an interrogator for the CIA, when we were having conversations later around radicalization is that they understand Western values. They reject them, they reject them in part because Western values cannot coexist with Islam as it is practiced today.”

Mitchell further explained, “Khalid Sheikh Mohammed told me in essence that our freedom of religion and our tolerance were weapons that his god had placed on earth so that they could defeat us. And that our religion, our religious freedoms would do is allow them to set up the networks they needed because thoughts are not crimes, ideas are not crimes, interacting with people are not crimes. And so we have to get smarter about where the expression of religious freedom actually becomes a crime and law enforcement needs to intercede, and to do that we need good surveillance and we need the ability to infiltrate these groups that are that are spreading this radical ideology.”

Fox Host Pete Hegseth asked, “Can they get to a point where we’re revoking citizenship or revoking status, deporting folks that are sympathetic to radical Islam or ISIS so that London can actually clean out this problem that’s in its midst?”

Mitchell replied, “It’s going to have to come to that, right? The two options that are on the table is eventually allow those folks to win in a way that completely destroys the UK’s national identity, or ordinary people have to demand that the politicians take steps to actually protect them. And if that means revoking the citizenship of people who came here under false pretenses who want to destroy the government, that’s a choice they need to make in their legislature, but it’s certainly something that may need to be done.”

PM Theresa May pointedly said that stamping out the threat “will require some difficult and often embarrassing conversations” which suggests a rejection of the suffocating social norm of political correctness: Britons have been intimidated into silence about the Islamic threat in their midst by the likelihood of being accused of “racism” which is odd because Muslims come in all races.

Below, first responders assist a victim into an ambulance. The Saturday night attack on busy areas of London killed seven and injured 48.

But PM May weakened her case tremendously by asserting the lie that jihadist murders are “a perversion of Islam and a perversion of the truth.” She still clings to the falsehood that Islam is a “Religion of Peace” despite the piles of dead bodies and over 100 verses in the Koran that promote violence and the murder of infidels to spread the faith. If PM May is going to forswear PC speak about Islam, she should start with the truth of its scripture and spread-by-the-sword history.

Nigel Farage was somewhat underimpressed by the prime minister’s statement:

I think people are beginning to say, “What are our leaders actually going to do?” Just expressing sorrow, just talking and using words like “solidarity” simply isn’t enough, and Maria I’ll make this prediction. Teresa May has spoken outside the steps of Number 10 today, and she’s actually used the phrase “Islamic terrorism.” Now that in itself may well be a first because many of our politicians have been in denial, as indeed Hillary was on this point, but unless people see some really concrete action is going to be taken, then I think the calls for interning thousands of suspects will grow louder and louder.

Here’s the full text of Prime Minister May’s statement:

PM statement following London terror attack: 4 June 2017, Prime Minister’s Office, June 4, 2017

Last night, our country fell victim to a brutal terrorist attack once again. As a result I have just chaired a meeting of the government’s emergency committee and I want to update you with the latest information about the attack.

Shortly before 10:10 yesterday evening, the Metropolitan Police received reports that a white van had struck pedestrians on London Bridge. It continued to drive from London Bridge to Borough Market, where 3 terrorists left the van and attacked innocent and unarmed civilians with blades and knives.

All 3 were wearing what appeared to be explosive vests, but the police have established that this clothing was fake and worn only to spread panic and fear.

As so often in such serious situations, the police responded with great courage and great speed. Armed officers from the Metropolitan Police and the City of London Police arrived at Borough Market within moments, and shot and killed the 3 suspects. The terrorists were confronted and shot by armed officers within 8 minutes of the police receiving the first emergency call.

Seven people have died as a result of the attack, in addition to the 3 suspects shot dead by the police. Forty-eight people are being treated in several hospitals across London. Many have life-threatening conditions.

On behalf of the people of London, and on behalf of the whole country, I want to thank and pay tribute to the professionalism and bravery of the police and the emergency services – and the courage of members of the public who defended themselves and others from the attackers. And our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and with their friends, families and loved ones.

This is, as we all know, the third terrorist attack Britain has experienced in the last 3 months. In March, a similar attack took place, just around the corner on Westminster Bridge. Two weeks ago, the Manchester Arena was attacked by a suicide bomber. And now London has been struck once more.

And at the same time, the security and intelligence agencies and police have disrupted 5 credible plots since the Westminster attack in March.

In terms of their planning and execution, the recent attacks are not connected. But we believe we are experiencing a new trend in the threat we face, as terrorism breeds terrorism, and perpetrators are inspired to attack not only on the basis of carefully-constructed plots after years of planning and training – and not even as lone attackers radicalised online – but by copying one another and often using the crudest of means of attack.

We cannot and must not pretend that things can continue as they are. Things need to change, and they need to change in 4 important ways.

First, while the recent attacks are not connected by common networks, they are connected in one important sense. They are bound together by the single, evil ideology of Islamist extremism that preaches hatred, sows division, and promotes sectarianism. It is an ideology that claims our Western values of freedom, democracy and human rights are incompatible with the religion of Islam. It is an ideology that is a perversion of Islam and a perversion of the truth.

Defeating this ideology is one of the great challenges of our time. But it cannot be defeated through military intervention alone. It will not be defeated through the maintenance of a permanent, defensive counter-terrorism operation, however skilful its leaders and practitioners. It will only be defeated when we turn people’s minds away from this violence – and make them understand that our values – pluralistic, British values – are superior to anything offered by the preachers and supporters of hate.

Second, we cannot allow this ideology the safe space it needs to breed. Yet that is precisely what the internet – and the big companies that provide internet-based services – provide. We need to work with allied, democratic governments to reach international agreements that regulate cyberspace to prevent the spread of extremism and terrorist planning. And we need to do everything we can at home to reduce the risks of extremism online.

Third, while we need to deprive the extremists of their safe spaces online, we must not forget about the safe spaces that continue to exist in the real world. Yes, that means taking military action to destroy ISIS in Iraq and Syria. But it also means taking action here at home. While we have made significant progress in recent years, there is – to be frank – far too much tolerance of extremism in our country.

So we need to become far more robust in identifying it and stamping it out – across the public sector and across society. That will require some difficult and often embarrassing conversations, but the whole of our country needs to come together to take on this extremism – and we need to live our lives not in a series of separated, segregated communities but as one truly United Kingdom.

Fourth, we have a robust counter-terrorism strategy that has proved successful over many years. But as the nature of the threat we face becomes more complex, more fragmented, more hidden, especially online, the strategy needs to keep up. So in light of what we are learning about the changing threat, we need to review Britain’s counter-terrorism strategy to make sure the police and security services have all the powers they need.

And if we need to increase the length of custodial sentences for terrorism-related offences, even apparently less serious offences, that is what we will do.

Since the emergence of the threat from Islamist-inspired terrorism, our country has made significant progress in disrupting plots and protecting the public. But it is time to say enough is enough. Everybody needs to go about their lives as they normally would. Our society should continue to function in accordance with our values. But when it comes to taking on extremism and terrorism, things need to change.

As a mark of respect the 2 political parties have suspended our national campaigns for today. But violence can never be allowed to disrupt the democratic process. So those campaigns will resume in full tomorrow. And the general election will go ahead as planned on Thursday.

As a country, our response must be as it has always been when we have been confronted by violence. We must come together, we must pull together, and united we will take on and defeat our enemies.

Self-destruction by Immigration: the Example from Britain  https://www.limitstogrowth.org/articles/2017/05/28/self-destruction-by-immigration-the-example-from-britain/ Sun, 28 May 2017 14:51:43 +0000 https://www.limitstogrowth.org/?p=15247 Great Britain is looking very weak all of a sudden.

The Times front-paged the ugly statistic on Saturday:

The police have gotten a lot of criticism in the last few days for failure to prevent the Manchester atrocity, but with that many enemies residing inside the country, the authorities are simply overwhelmed by the numbers. The elites’ lack of political will to defend the people is also a major impediment to national security.

With tens of thousands of potential fighters living inside Britain, we should think more expansively about what is possible in the near future, such as a guerrilla-style uprising aided by digital connectivity. The jihadists have already shown their ability to use modern technology. As migrants, many employed social media to facilitate their travels to reach Europe by communicating routes, free stuff etc. In Kiel Germany, a couple of unfriendlies used their phones to assemble an ad hoc group to harass teenaged German girls. There were larger jihad crowds organized for the New Years Eve attacks on women in Cologne and elsewhere.

The hostile Muslims may be barbarians, but they are plugged in to the new internet way of war.

Remember that France had several weeks of diverse rioting in 2005 that a local official called a “civil war.” Following an incident where a couple of Muslims managed to electrocute themselves in a power substation, Muslims burned buildings and cars across France, police arrested nearly 3000 and three non-rioters were killed.

And that rioting occurred before social media became such a facilitator for rapid call-ups of willing fighters. Future sustained violence will be more organized and therefore more effective, from the jihadists’ perspective.

Both France and Britain have growing jihadist populations that may make a modern version of civil war likely.

The sensible thing would be to end immigration entirely and get about deporting every single enemy alien that can be expelled. But that strategy would be too effective, plus the wailing about fairness and diversity and feelings would be difficult for weasel politicians to bear.

MI5 reveal ‘up to 23,000 jihadis living in Britain’ ahead of Bank Holiday security boost, Express, May 27, 2017

UP TO 23,000 potential jihadis are reportedly living in Britain as police investigate the sprawling terror network linked to Manchester bomber Salman Abedi.

Security services revealed the figure as they said up to 3,000 would-be terrorists are being investigated as “subjects of interest”.

The announcement, unusual for security agencies such as MI5 and MI6, highlights the difficulties in investigating potential terror threats, according to insiders.

Amid a reported 500 active terror investigations, one security source told the Mail: “It is difficult because becoming aware that someone is an extremist sympathiser does not make them a live and present danger.

“It is a balancing act – is the intelligence sufficient to push them up the list of priorities or should the focus be on someone else given the finite resources available?”

The warning comes as extra police officers and soldiers are deployed to thousands of events across the UK this bank holiday weekend amid heightened terror fears.

Sick terror group Islamic State, which claimed responsibility for Monday’s attack that killed 22, has called for “all-out war” against the west as the Islamic holy month of Ramadan begins.

But police officials have announced beefed-up security at events such as Saturday’s FA cup final, the premiership rugby final and the Great Manchester Run.

And for the first time armed police will patrol Britain’s trains as soldiers guard the Houses of Parliament, Downing Street and Buckingham Palace.

Film premieres in London have also been scrapped in the wake of the horror bombing.

The UK premiere of The Mummy at Leicester Square was scheduled to take place on Thursday but Universal Pictures said the screening has been cancelled out of respect to the victims.

NHS England has also warned 27 of its major trauma centres to prepare for a potential attack.

An NHS England spokesman said: “Since the MI5’s Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre has announced the threat level has changed from severe to critical, this triggers longstanding tried and tested NHS protocols reflected in this letter which reminds NHS organisations of the precautionary measures they need to take to ensure care is in place should it be needed.”

Islamic Immigration Is Killing Britain https://www.limitstogrowth.org/articles/2017/04/02/14993/ Mon, 03 Apr 2017 04:34:04 +0000 https://www.limitstogrowth.org/?p=14993 It’s certainly a negative for America that uneducated third-world Mexicans are the top immigrant group, but at least they aren’t culturally hostile polygamous jihadists.

Britain is facing death as a nation because of millions of Islamo-immigrants who are more accurately characterized as invaders because they have no intention of assimilating to western values.

Muslims residing in Britain routinely demand sharia law rather than assimilating to the values of the nation they chose to inhabit.

Dale Hurd reports the bad news, though it’s not exactly new news. London is no longer majority white, as shown in the 2011 census where caucasian Britons accounted for only 45 percent of the city’s population. Plus, some of the muslims currently invading open-borders Europe readily admit they hope to recruit converts for allah by any means necessary.

As it happens, yesterday I decided to check on one of my favorite Brits, the singer Vera Lynn. She is a survivor of the heroic Britain of WWII, when she travelled around the world entertaining the troops with patriotic songs like We’ll Meet Again and White Cliffs of Dover. On March 20, she turned 100 and celebrated by releasing a new album. Her life is a measure of how quickly a nation can be destroyed if the people allow politicians to run amok with admitting historic enemies as immigrants. That was the strategy when the Labour Party recruited immigrants to “rub the Right’s nose in diversity.”

One of Vera Lynn’s songs was There’ll Always Be an England, but treasonous immigration has killed that promise.

Islamic Takeover: Why Mass Immigration Signals ‘the End of Britain’, CBN News, by Dale Hurd, March 31, 2017

LONDON – Last week’s terror attack by a British-born Muslim proves again that a radical community exists within Britain. Its goal: create an Islamic nation. And there is a quieter force at work that will likely achieve that desire long before guns, bombs and violence.

This is not Karachi. It’s London.

Britain’s policy of mass immigration has brought what one expert calls “demographic upheaval” to the United Kingdom that could change almost everything.

“Finis Britanniae” – The End of Britain
It’s now a demographic certainty. Someday the white native English will be a minority in their own country, including the native Welsh and the Scots.

It’s just a matter of when.

Professor David Coleman is a supernumerary fellow in human sciences and university professor in demography at Oxford. He’s has written that uncontrolled immigration could lead to “finis Britanniae.”

“Which simply means the end of Britain, and by that, I mean the end of Britain as we know it,” Coleman said.

“The point I was making is the change in the number of people and particularly the change in the origins of people, in their religion, in their cultural background, would make Britain unrecognizable compared with the present time,” he said.

Immigration can strengthen a nation. But several western nations, including the United States, are debating the wisdom of large-scale immigration from the Islamic world. And experts wonder what will happen as Muslim numbers continue to grow in officially Christian Britain.

In the dystopian masterpiece Children of Men, ethnic division and civil war wracks Britain in 2027. Armed Muslim gangs fight a government that is hunting down and deporting immigrants while trying to maintain order.

Britain’s future is not likely to be this violent, but it may not be peaceful either.

When the Christian activist group Britain First took large crosses through Luton’s Bury Park last year, angry Muslims confronted them.

MUSLIM MAN: It’s our country.

WHITE MAN: It’s your country, is it, yeah?

MUSLIM MAN: Yeah mate, it’s our country.

WHITE WOMAN It’s a Christian country.

MUSLIM MAN: It’s not a Christian country.

WHITE WOMAN Yes it is.

MUSLIM MAN: It’s not a Christian country, mate….You’re jealous. You’re jealous that we’re taking over.

MUSLIM WOMAN: The Muslims will take over. Watch.

Urban areas are becoming increasingly Islamic whereas rural area are becoming increasingly English, and there’s a retreat away from these two populations. That’s the future.

Policy analyst George Igler says he does believe it will take 40 or 50 years before the native British are a minority.

“This is a nonsense. It’s going to be much sooner. And more importantly, when you look at places like Luton. When you look at the experience of women in Cologne. We already have a window into what this future will be like. It’s going to violence and sexual violence against non-Muslims. It’s going to be insistence on Sharia Law,” Igler said.

Drastic Changes on the Horizon
Professor Coleman, who stressed he is not anti-Muslim but is simply looking at statistics, nevertheless said the changes could be drastic.

“There are strong currents in Muslim society which wish to see Muslim approaches to diet, to marriage and would like to see Sharia Law incorporated formally into British Law or in respect to some extremist groups would like to see Sharia Law replace British Law,” he said.

More than a half million non-British citizens immigrated to the United Kingdom in 2016. European Union rules prevented Britain from stopping migration from within Europe, but that brought European migrants.

Coleman says Brexit, Britain’s exit from the E.U., will not necessarily stop the influx of immigrants from non-European Islamic nations.

‘England Is Not Going to be England Anymore’
Great Britain was a factory for Muslim terrorists long before last week’s attack on Westminister Bridge by a British-born Muslim. At least 850 British citizens have left the U.K. to join ISIS.

“Look, we have around 100 Sharia courts in this country. We’re the only western country with a functioning network of Sharia tribunals and councils. They’re dealing with marriages, divorce, even with criminal matters. They’re marrying children,” said Anne Marie Waters, from Sharia Watch.

If demographic trends continue, British schools will change when most of the pupils are from non-British backgrounds, as will British foreign policy and military alliances.

“England is not going to be England anymore,” Igler says.

In its street protests against the Islamization of Britain, the English Defence League used to sing ‘we want our country back.’ If current demographic trends continue, it may be too late for that.
