Geert Wilders: Let's Stop the Cowardice, And Tell The Truth About Islam
Geert Wilders: Let's Stop the Cowardice, And Tell The Truth About Islam:
"The documentary is made by American film director Stephen Robert Morse. Although he does not agree with my political views, he at least tried to bring a balanced story, which is more than I can say of many Dutch journalists.

Government-Air!-----The world's biggest commercial plane just got more impressive - CNET
"...Airbus promises to boost the plane's capacity "with no compromise on comfort," but with up to nine seats across in premium economy and 11 across in economy, it does sound pretty cramped.
Orders have been slow for the giant aircraft, the world's largest commercial plane, as airlines have opted instead to purchase smaller twin-engine jets, which are cheaper to fly and maintain, and are often preferred by passengers.
Airbus announced towards the end of last year that it would build just 12 A380s in 2017, down from 27 in 2016."

Seattle Passes 'Gun Violence' Tax — Gun Sales Plummet, Violent Crime Rate Soars
Seattle Passes 'Gun Violence' Tax — Gun Sales Plummet, Violent Crime Rate Soars:
"The city of Seattle, Washington, passed a controversial “gun violence” tax on the sale of all firearms and ammunition in 2015. Critics argued that violent crime would increase, and gun dealers would either close up shop or move out of city limits.
Proponents of the law, which went into effect on January 1, 2016, argued that neither would happen and the law would generate from $300,000 to $500,000 on an annual basis, which, in 2016, was earmarked to “fund a study of gunshot victims, including medical and behavioral interventions.”
The critics were right."

How the Deep State Built Its Field of Dreams
Articles: How the Deep State Built Its Field of Dreams"This week, we learned that former FBI Director James Comey will probably be a witness in any proceeding brought by his close friend Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
...Sessions’s recusal, moreover, was engendered by illegal leaks.
And the investigation by Mueller is being fanned by more of them.
- James Comey...
- Sessions' Recusal Was Based on an Erroneous Reading of the Law...
- Russian Collusion”: Not a Crime in any Event...
- The Unending Leaks About the Investigation from Anonymous Sources...
Let’s hope that advantage outweighs all the dishonest maneuvering by the Deep State."

The European Migrant Crisis and Historical Amnesia: A Personal Testament from Austria | The Liberty Conservative
The European Migrant Crisis and Historical Amnesia: A Personal Testament from Austria | The Liberty Conservative:
"The migrant crisis has, like an uncontrolled blaze tumbling through a dense forest, left few parts of Europe untouched.
...apprised me of a story regarding an abandoned lorry found on the highway to Vienna: 60 migrants were found dead, having needlessly suffocated during illegal transport through the country.
...I cannot think of my time among my Austrian relatives without tasting the bitterness that goes along with the most delicious sort of historical irony, where Europeans, instead of fighting their conquerors as before, have now welcomed them with open arms.
...Now turn your attention to the modern-day migrants.
...These young men and the occasional family passed through these camps and Turkey – as well as Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, and yes, even Austria – to get to Germany or some Scandinavian country such as Sweden, where they would receive the most generous support in the form of welfare benefits.
...What is more, the vast majority of the migrants I have just described are not European, neither culturally nor ethnically, unlike the refugees of Eastern Europe.
Both in point of fact and morally, refugees from communism and migrants from the Third World are not equivalent.
...A native of Budapest, without prompting, launches into something of a tirade concerning the migrant crisis.
...He laments the fact that the majority of migrants are young men who readily commit crime.
He also decries what he calls “lies”: he emphatically states he and his fellow Hungarians were told the people fleeing terror and bloodshed in the Middle East were families and children, not these young men.
He feels cheated..."

Four Reasons Why Rome Fell - And How It Has Lived On
Four Reasons Why Rome Fell - And How It Has Lived On
"The Fall of Rome is a heavily debated topic with an extraordinary range of theories as to how such a great power ultimately fell, and how it either limped on or even how it still lives today.
Some theories, such as contamination from lead pipes, seem outrageous, while others, such as the loss of civic virtue, could be applied to some modern nations.
Here are some of the most common ideas about the Fall of Rome.
Keep in mind that many of the reasons identified for the fall are given as important contributors, not the sole cause.
Most historians acknowledge that, while a variety of problems plagued Rome, the Barbarian invasions were the literal cause of Rome’s fall in the West.
1. Lead Poisoning
Let’s get this one out of the way first. Lead poisoning is often dismissed as a major cause for the decline of Rome, but the theory does have some merit.
The Romans used lead in a variety of ways, many involving food and water.
...This theory has been heavily debated.
Notably, the Romans were aware of lead and its impact on health.
...Though the debate continues, it is plausible that lead poisoning did have at least some impact on Roman people sometime during their decline.
2. Decline of Civic Virtue and Adoption of Christianity
Edward Gibbon, despite his many errors uncovered over the years, is still considered essential reading for a student of ancient Rome.
His famous claim is simply that the Romans became soft.
Romans of the Republic were brutal and stubborn; their stout resistance in the face of such legends as Pyrrhus and Hannibal built their future empire.
The most embarrassing story of early Rome was the paying off of Brennus during his sack of Rome. After the encounter, the Romans treated the Gauls with extreme hatred and fought many successful campaigns against them.
... True Romans were then too relaxed and weak to defend their empire, and paying off barbarians became a more common practice..."
