Don’t Blame the Rats

Swedish Ex-Socialist returns with an essay about his apostasy from European Socialism, and the reaction of the true believers he left behind.

Rats

Don’t Blame the Rats
by Swedish Ex-Socialist

I received a lot of comments on my previous article, “Socialists on Ice”.

A ‘Moderat’ (Swedish ruling party) posted lots of replies in defense of Multiculturalism and the current political agenda in Sweden (and the rest of Europe, except Hungary). I understand his position, and I would like to reach out with a helping hand to him and other politically correct people all over the world. I realize that GoV is not the main source of information for my intended audience, but if The New York Times wants to print this you’re welcome to do so.

I am not in favor of Socialism or Multiculturalism any longer, but I was not long ago. This article is about my experience of that transition.

When I went to school we had history lessons about the Black Death that killed one third of the population in the cities of medieval Europe. A flea carried the disease and the rats spread the fleas to humans.

I finished school (with excellent grades), became employed, started a family, and was happy…

I went to the zoo with my kids and we watched the crocodiles, monkeys, and snakes. And then I noticed the rats. What really hit me was the sign that stated that the rats came to Sweden during the mid-19th century.

When I subscribed to the Discovery Channel, I zapped into some debate about the plague in England, and the remarks were the same ‘There were no rats at that time’.

Someone might argue that rats spread other diseases, although they didn’t cause the plague. That’s not the point! I revived false information during my education!

That’s the real plague.

For most citizens of Europe, the U.S.A., Canada, Japan and lots of other nations, education is the second-biggest investment in your life. The biggest would be your children. You might spent about twenty years in schools, and although most of it is free or subsidized, it’s a major investment in your identity and self esteem.

Who would want to throw that away just because some rats were wrongly accused of spreading plague?

I did not.

There were lots of other flaws in my education, but one thing I became certain of was that you could learn things just by reading books.

In search of a philosophical position, or just of curiosity, I read the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (pdf version here). It’s worth reading, but if I had put my conclusion in a sentence it would be: “You can acquire new knowledge by observation.”

Whatever knowledge you acquire is great, so long as it doesn’t challenge your previous knowledge. But what if it does? What if you have to unlearn something that you worked hard to learn?

Don’t worry! I’ve been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

If you learned false information and did it well, you’re not a bad person. You could relearn it just as easily.

I was stuck in my old false knowledge too long, I admit that.

There was the WTC on 9/11 in 2001 and the Muhammad cartoons in Denmark.

The one that opened my mind was Lars Vilks’ roundabout dog (see also: The Modoggie Archives). This was another experience where the news did not fit the facts.

Then I met the greatest teacher I had in non-science classes, Robert Spencer . In reality he’s not my teacher, but when I read his books The Infidel’s Guide to the Koran and Stealth Jihad, as well as watching his video-clips, there was a presence.

He told me things I didn’t like.

I said, “I don’t believe you!”

He replied, “Don’t take my word for it; check other sources.” And he provided the references to them.

I suspected he was quoting the Koran out of context so I read all of it.

There was no other context.

The Koran promotes theft, murder and other abuse. The part about religion is mostly the afterlife, which is the reward you get for slaying infidels.

I was not able to keep this new knowledge to myself so I started to share it with friends and family. They said, “You’re a racist.”

I said, “It’s not my point of view; it’s the holy book of Islam.”

Then they said, “There are bad things in other religions, too.”

I replied, “Tell me one bad thing Jesus said.” (I’ve read the Bible, too.)

They responded, “The Swedes didn’t help the Jews during World War Two.”

I replied, “Raoul Wallenberg did help 100,000 Jews in Hungary, and at least 8,000 Danish Jews were saved in 1943.”

They responded, “Everybody should be free to worship whatever god…”

I replied, “Does that include a Muslim who wants to convert to Christianity? Does it include Jews in Malmö?” ( I provide some news from Sweden’s greatest blog, or from my own site .)

They said, “You’re a racist.”

This goes on and on. I lose friends but find new ones.

Some previous friends come back, after about two months.

They pick up the discussion where they left off, but now I am regarded as an authority on the subject. They have done some homework and are eager to contribute to the common wisdom of mankind.

It’s hard to change your mind. You need to be brave and take the time to relearn.

It’s worth it: you get rid of the burden of false knowledge and go on with your life without blaming the rats.

Gates of Vienna News Feed 2/17/2012

Gates of Vienna News Feed 2/17/2012A “Virginian” named Amine El Khalifi was arrested today near the Capitol in D.C. wearing a fake explosive vest and carrying a fake gun. He intended to kill a bunch of infidels, but the people he thought were his Al Qaeda co-conspirators were in fact FBI agents who set him up.

In other news, tourism in Egypt was down by a third last year — the year of the “Arab Spring” — due to the widespread perception abroad that the country is now unstable and dangerous. The Egyptian tourism minister says that this is not so, that the media just focus on the negative and violent news stories. He says that outside of the immediate environs of Tahrir Square in Cairo, the country is calm and safe.

More cultural enrichment from Berlin.


Extreme Left in Germany ‘confused that they are not attacked by Nazis, but by immigrants’

By Nicolai Sennels

If an anti-fascist multiculturalist is threatened, blackmailed, and attacked by Muslims, will he become schizophrenic? Reality knocking at the Left’s door — with baseball bats.

Wedding, Berlin, is a Muslim neighbourhood, and the Street Fighters is a immigrant gang consisting of predominantly Turkish members.

Translated from The South German, February 11th, 2012 “Social tensions in Berlin Wedding. Attack from the wrong direction.”:

In the Berlin district of Wedding a Leftist housing project has been attacked by immigrants of Turkish origin. The anti-fascists do not quite know how to respond: ‘They are neither Nazis nor cops, so the usual activist methods are not applicable.’ The worldview of the Left staggers…

The young artist has just moved to Wedding, as the rent in Berlin Central (Mitte) had become unaffordable. Now she is nostalgic for the perfect world at Hackescher Markt. She gets on her bike, visits an exhibition opening in Mitte. She says: ‘This place is ruled by the Turkish and the Arab mafia.’…

What is new is that that Berlin anti-fascists fear the street gangs, for example the residents of the Leftist residential project in Schererstraße 8. Located directly across from the Street Fighters headquarters.

Last weekend they were attacked, as about thirty members of the Street Fighters entered the building. The police reported that the Street Fighters smashed windows with baseball bats and destroyed furniture in the anti-fascists’ pub and information shop. A day later, two musicians who were to give a concert in the Leftist housing project, were attacked and injured…

A police officer, whose name can not be mentioned here because he is not authorized to speak to the press, comments on the attack on the Leftist housing project: ‘If it had been the Nazis, they would have told the public.’…

The lack of reaction from the anti-fascists to the violent and predominantly Turkish criminals has an apparently absurd reason. On the Internet this request from the anti-fascists circulates: ‘They are neither Nazis nor cops, so the usual activist methods are not applicable. When we know what to do, we will ask you for assistance.’

A social worker knows some people in the housing project. He says: ‘They are confused that they are not being attacked by Nazis, but by immigrants. It does not fit into their world view.’ It is said that the Street Fighters had extorted protection money from the anti-fascists, but this has not been confirmed by the police.

“Apostasy Deserves Capital Punishment in an Islamic State”

Haitham al-Haddad is a “British” Islamic scholar who sits on the Islamic Sharia Council in London. The video below is taken from a Dutch TV debate and an interview with Mr. al-Haddad.

It’s always refreshing to hear a dedicated Muslim speak out so clearly and truthfully about his faith.

Culturally Enriched Violence Comes to Sandnes

Cultural Enrichment News

As reported in last night’s news feed, an asylum seeker was stabbed to death on Wednesday at the asylum centre in Sandnes, Norway.

According to The Local, “the incident took place after a conflict involving primarily Chechen residents at the centre.” However, later reports stated that the victim was an Iranian national and the alleged perpetrator a Chechen national.

Last night a group of culture enrichers converged on the scene, wanting to get into the asylum center.

Our Norwegian correspondent The Observer translated an article accompanying the video below. He has this to say about the news clip:

The video shows relatives and friends of the victim. The angry crowd attacked the police when they were told that they couldn’t enter the grounds of the asylum centre.

According to the accompanying article the police had to defend themselves with batons, shields and mace. The group attacking the police consisted of approximately 30-40 individuals, mostly Kurds.

Several sources reported that the police feared that the group wanted to avenge the killing of the Iranian teenager.

I don’t think we’ve heard the last of this yet.

Many thanks to Cecilie for translating the video, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:


The accompanying article from Aftenposten:

Here the police are attacked by mourners trying to visit the murder scene

The police had to use shields, batons and pepper spray when a large group of relatives and friends of the murdered teenager wanted to visit the scene of the murder, and attempted to force their way past the police.

“Anyone who enters the building this evening and possibly even later tonight will be stopped and checked,” leader of operations from the Sandnes police Johnny Johnson says to Stavanger Aftenblad.

Around 4 o’clock on Thursday afternoon, a few hundred meters away from the entrance to the asylum centre on Dale road, clashes broke out between police and a group of 30-40 men who tried to force their way into Dale asylum centre.

“The group comprised of several parties in different cars who all gave different explanations for wanting to visit the centre. We gave them permission to drive up the centre one at the time and spend five minutes there, but this order was disobeyed and several individuals tried to force their way past the police barricades,” Johnsen says.

Several police officers

According to some members of the group, who all hail from the Kurdish community in the area, they only wanted to see the place where a young Iranian was fatally stabbed Wednesday night.

The police dispatched more police patrols to the scene and eventually managed to gain control of the situation. The group of mourners were told to turn around and head back to Sandnes. They were all stopped and checked by the police before they were allowed to leave the scene.

Several were searched.

“All visitors entering the asylum centre on Thursday evening and quite possibly through the night will be checked by the police,” leader of operations Johnny Johnson told Aftenbladet’s reporter on the scene

No one was detained after the clash on Thursday night.

Fear of retaliation

“We can’t rule out that one or several individuals will try to avenge the murder of the young Iranian which took place at Dale asylum centre on Wednesday night,” the police say.

“We don’t know the identities of the other people involved nor the motive for the killing, but we realize now that more individuals are involved. That means we have to consider that revenge is a possibility,” police inspector Bjørn Andersen from Rogaland police department told Aftenbladet at the press conference on Thursday afternoon.

“And the police are prepared for retaliation?”

“Yes, we are,” Andersen says.

Denise responsibility

The man who was killed at Dale last night was a Kurd with Iranian citizenship. Police have arrested a Russian citizen with origins in Chechnya. Neither the victim nor the accused lived at Dale Asylum Centre, according to the police.

The accused individual, a male in his early twenties, has been charged with complicity to commit grievous bodily harm resulting in death, a charge that he denies.

“He doesn’t admit guilt. In the interests of the investigation, I can’t give any further details,” the accused man’s lawyer, Odd Rune Torstrup told Aftenbladet.

Video transcript:

00:09 We are standing on the Dale road; 2 to 3 hundred meters behind me is the reception centre.
00:15 Police have blocked the road to the area after receiving a tip about a group... a gang, a gathering.
00:23 A few minutes ago there was a confrontation between police and this group of persons.
00:31 We have talked with some of those who wanted to get into the area.
00:35 They said they were friends and relatives of the one who was killed last night.
00:42 The wanted to go and see the place where he was killed.
00:46 How did the police experience the situation?
00:48 It was clearly a threatening situation with a group of people wanting to force their will, but it was handled the way it should be handled.
01:13 Afterwards it was put a stop to, and they left.
01:18 I talked with several people who said ... who were friends and close relatives of the one who was killed and who wanted to see the scene.
01:28 Do you understand that they felt a need to see the place?
01:31 Yes, you could say that was part of the problem, and they were allowed to do this in an orderly manner.
01:41 But despite agreeing to do it in an orderly manner they broke the agreement, and wanted to do it their way, so it was stopped.

The Fox is in the Henhouse

The Tennessee Freedom Coalition

The Tennesee Freedom Coalition is at the forefront of resistance to Islamization — not just in Tennessee, but in the whole of the United States.

The article below appeared yesterday on TFC’s website. The author, Jonna Bianco, describes the systematic attempt by Muslim Brotherhood front groups in the USA to prevent private organizations from giving factual presentations about Islam to local law enforcement officials. CAIR, ISNA, and other MB affiliates, however, are “partners” in the training of government employees at the federal, state, and local levels — all paid for by the American taxpayer.

It’s now the official policy of the United States Government: all information about Islam conveyed to government employees and members of the military will be presented by groups listed as co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism finance trial.

Many Americans read news articles about the Islamization of Europe and say, “Europe is lost.” They don’t realize that their own government has been suborned at the highest levels by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Thanks to the influence of petrodollars and the quiet infiltration of Wahhabist ideologues into all our major institutions, the United States is being Islamized from the top down, whilst the vast majority of the population remains entirely unaware of what is happening.


The Fox is in the Henhouse
By Jonna Bianco

Due to the many complaints and press releases from various Islamic organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), Islamic Center of Murfreesboro, Islamic Center of Nashville and the various newspaper articles and media that simply can’t seem to get their facts straight or the truth reported accurately regarding the 3-day training seminar entitled “The Threat to America” taking place in Rutherford County, Murfreesboro Tennessee, it becomes necessary to present the truth and facts for the public viewing. This training, presented by The Strategic Engagement Group (SEG), which is paid for by donations and not taxpayers’ dollars, is being presented to local law enforcement, intelligence personnel and departments. This training is based on facts, court documents, and incontrovertible evidence. This program does not contain any information which could be remotely construed as hate speech nor is any information provided or presented not accurate and true. Information and documents presented during this presentation, however, are not popular in some camps and the people of Tennessee are beginning to realize that they simply cannot rely upon local or national media outlets to provide the complete and balanced story on many political, national security and national defense issues. A special thank you to Sheriff Robert Arnold in Rutherford County for not falling into the trap of “political correctness” and for recognizing all threats facing Tennesseans and for putting forth the efforts to make certain his officers are given the opportunity to train and educate themselves in these areas.

Several Islamic-centric organizations (CAIR, ISNA, Islamic Center of Murfreesboro, Islamic Center of Nashville, etc.) have made recent demands for the course to be halted. In addition, they have contacted local law enforcement departments demanding that their personnel not attend these training seminars. Both of these requests are in direct violation of the civil rights, freedom of speech, and freedom to gather of those who are presenting and attending. The three day training seminar has been presented to law enforcement, military, National Guard, intelligence professionals, prosecutors and state legislators. The presentations are based on FACTs, court documents, Muslim Brotherhood documents seized in an FBI raid, CAIR and ISNA documents that were stipulated in a court of law that have been repeatedly upheld and unchallenged in the court systems here in the United States. This training seminar is not simply someone’s opinions or thoughts but is entirely based on written documentation and evidence. In fact, the training seminar and public meetings being held throughout this three-day seminar are, in fact, open to the public for anyone to attend. SEG would welcome an open debate by any of these Islamic officials, Islamic Imams, heads of the various Islamic Centers, Directors of CAIR, ISNA or any of these Islamic groups to dispute ANY of the facts presented at these training seminars. None of them will attend or show up to dispute any of the information being presented because they ALL know it to be the truth and fact. These Islamic organizations simply rely upon their repeated threats and pressures of the local and national media and their political influence brought about by their financial contributions and fund raisers for various politicians over the past several years to try and discredit anyone who speaks out against Islam, their intentions, goals and objectives by calling them Islamophobists, bigots, racists, etc. I encourage all to visit the website of The Strategic Engagement Group and view this information for yourselves so that you know the truth and facts that are being presented.

Ironically, while these Islamic organizations are attempting to halt the freedom of speech of those they disagree with and stop the truth from being presented and told to the general public, they themselves are presenting their viewpoint at similar events. These events (sponsored by U.S. Government organizations which are paid for by YOUR tax dollars) have, in the interest of “political correctness” allowed “the fox in the henhouse” by allowing those who have declared war on the United States to attend, present, and misrepresent facts, figures, and motives. I find it important to inform you of these issues/events so that you can decide for yourselves which are listed below.

Training Event #1: Counterterrorism Training Feb 27-28, 2012. The U.S. Attorney’s Office — Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council (ATAC) — Middle District of Tennessee and the Nashville Joint Terrorism Task Force will host a two day Counterterrorism Training event in conjunction with the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division and the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point. Guest speakers will include personnel from the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC), a group of private citizens who want to assist law enforcement in reaching out to the Muslim communities and better establish communications and a working relationship.

Inquiries about this Training event have been made by Patrick Poole of PJ media, Tennessee State Legislators and others to determine who, specifically, is the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) and who are the guest speakers. The U.S. Attorney’s office originally replied by saying they had no information about them other than a telephone number which they provided (615)200-6052. It has been determined that this phone number is a non-traceable/disposable cell phone that has a voice messaging service attached to it. Additional inquiries led to the response that the event was private and the speakers names were not going to be disclosed nor were the members of the AMAC. Interesting to note and ask the following question: Is it the intent of the various Government agencies or entities hosting these training classes that are bringing in groups like AMAC to also host training classes/seminars for Jewish, Catholic, Christian, Baptist, Presbyterian organizations or are these Government organizations already aware that the Christians, Jews, Hindus, Catholics, et al have not announced their intent to over throw the U.S. Constitution or wage jihad on the American people nor have these groups committed multiple honor killings in the U.S. all in the name of Islam or Allah?

Separate investigations indicate that other established American Muslim Advisory Council members are senior leaders of the organizations known as CAIR and ISNA, both of which are groups/associations among many others that were named as unindicted co-conspirators in the largest terrorist financing prosecution in the United States. Both of these organizations, CAIR and ISNA among others were providing financial assistance to HAMAS. HAMAS is a designated terrorist group on the terrorist watch list issued by the United States Government. If you go to both of these groups’ own websites, you will clearly see their goals and objectives outlined for public view of their intent to infiltrate every phase of our society at every level, including but not limited to our education system beginning with our elementary schools under the guise of “cultural education” clear through to our Universities via their Muslim Students Associations, to government and political offices, law enforcement agencies on all fronts including local, state and federal; all for the purpose and with the clear intent to alter the mindset and agendas of our society for the overthrow of our Constitution and the implementation of Sharia Islamic Law. Islam believes that Shariah Law supersedes the U.S. Constitution and all must submit to Islam or pay the price, which in most cases the ultimate price is death if you choose to not submit to Islam. Thus you understand why I make reference to saying this is letting the “fox into the henhouse”! This begs the question as to whether Islam is a religion or a political ideology? Because if it is a religion, then clearly many Federal and State Laws have been broken under separation of church and state by the actions of these Islamic Centers, CAIR, ISNA and others who are insistent on educating our children on Islam through our schools. We all know that we can’t hold a Vacation Bible School through our school systems so why can Islam, unless of course it is not a religion and merely a political agenda and ideology.

The aforementioned information leads to the following questions:

  • Why won’t the U.S. Attorney’s Office or the Tennessee Office of Homeland Security disclose the list of speakers or information about the American Muslim Advisory Council with whom they are partnering on this conference?
  • Are the leaders in the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Tennessee Office of Homeland Security aware of the connection with HAMAS and aware of the stated goals and objectives of the organizations represented on their websites?
  • Why will they not release this information to the public? Why is the training session closed/private?

If you are interested in what is being presented at this conference, scheduled for February 27 & 28 at the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation in Nashville, consider emailing or calling Governor Bill Haslam, bill.haslam@tn.gov, 615-741-2001. Our government organizations putting the training on refuse to answer our questions. Other personnel you could question include:

  • U.S. Attorney’s Office, Demetrius Ritt, Intelligence Specialist, Demetrius.b.ritt@usdoj.gov, 615-289-6815 (cell)
  • Asst. Commissioner, Office of Homeland Security, David Purkey, david.purkey@tn.gov, 615-532-7825
  • Commissioner of Safety, Bill Gibbons (Office of Homeland Security is in the Dept. of Safety), safety@tn.gov, 615-251-5166.

And while you’re talking to Commissioner Gibbons’ office, you might want to ask about the bill he is asking our state legislature to pass: HB2375. This bill would authorize the TN Department of Safety and Homeland Security to enter into “partnership agreements” with nonprofit organizations. The bill does not make clear what exactly would be the nature of a partnership agreement, but according to the language of the bill, a group such as the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) and or CAIR, ISNA, the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro, Islamic Center of Nashville and others as referenced above would be eligible to enter into such an arrangement with the Dept. of Safety and Homeland Security. So does this mean that the safety and security of the citizens of the Great State of Tennessee are now being overseen by, in the hands of and being controlled by Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood or Hezbollah? Perhaps Commissioner Gibbons would disclose the organizations they are planning to partner with?

Gates of Vienna News Feed 2/16/2012

Gates of Vienna News Feed 2/16/2012Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, known in the media as the “Underwear Bomber”, to this blog as the “Lap Bomber”, and to Vlad as the “Thong Bomber”, has been sentenced in a Detroit courtroom to life in prison for attempting to blow up an airliner on Christmas Day 2009 with a bomb in his underwear. Mr. Abdulmutallab, a Nigerian national, showed no emotion when the sentence was handed down. He is expected to serve his sentence in a “Supermax” facility.

In other news, the Serbs of northern Kosovo voted overwhelmingly in a referendum to reject the sovereign authority of the Kosovo government, which they do not recognize. The referendum is not binding, and has no official standing, but simply reflects the mass discontent of Serbs in Kosovo.
