DhimmiUK: Protester Arrested For Sign Calling Hamas A Terrorist Group

By William Teach March 10, 2024 – 7:00 am

The end of the United Kingdom is coming soon. They’ve been quietly conquered by the Islamists, willfully letting them in the gate, inviting them in, then changing their whole country to appease them

Watch: Protester holding ‘Hamas Are Terrorists’ sign arrested by police

A counter-protester carrying a banner condemning Hamas as a terror group was arrested after holding the sign aloft as pro-Palestine activists filed past him on Saturday.

Niyak Ghorbani, who was holding a banner reading “Hamas is terrorist”, was pulled to the ground and handcuffed by officers after an incident took place close to the march through central London.

As police held him down, he shouted “Shame on you”, before saying “I wrote down Hamas is a terrorist organisation… but they arrested me”.

The 38-year-old was de-arrested and released shortly after, with police saying he had been held for his own safety after an alleged assault was carried out against him.

So, they arrested him to protect him, rather than arresting the ones who assaulted him? Most likely, the police reacted and actually meant to arrest him, then someone with a wiser head said “don’t be fools, this will look really, really, really bad when it ends up in the papers.” And it did.

Mr Ghorbani, an Iranian who lives in Balham, south London, told The Telegraph he had been assaulted by pro-Palestine protesters as he stood holding his sign.

He said: “They attacked me from behind and hit me in the head. They pushed me and told me Hamas is a protector of Palestine.”

The IT professional added: “The police destroyed my sign and told me that I had harassed someone in the protest and that is why they arrested me.

“They arrested me because someone who supports Hamas attacked me and I defended myself. After 10 minutes my friends showed them a video of what I was doing and they released me.

And that’s when the cooler heads prevailed. I means, seriously, the UK, just like the US and UN, has designated Hamas as a terrorist group. And

Membership and expressing support for Hamas is an illegal act in the UK, punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Dozens of countries, including the United Kingdom and United States, as well as the European Union, have designated it a terrorist group.

Yet, the police mostly look away as the pro-Palestinians express support for Hamas. And arrest people like Mr. Ghorbani.

Scotland Yard said in a statement: “The man was arrested after an altercation was ongoing, and officers intervened to prevent a breach of the peace. He was arrested for assault.

“Officers then fully reviewed footage provided of the incident, and he was later de-arrested. The arrest was not made in relation to the placard.”

BS. We’ve seen and read about what the UK police put up with, and who they really arrest.

Despite him being pretty much solo and seeing a bunch more people attacking him, 5 police come after him, take his sign, take him down, and arrest him.

Film Studio Wants Populist Anger Over Climate Crisis (scam)

By William Teach March 9, 2024 – 3:00 pm

Why are these people so angry? I guess when you listen to a doomsday cult you’re choices are anger or depression

Film studio from Oscar-winning director aims to stir up ‘populist anger’ over climate crisis

The ad opens on a bucolic mountainscape, a lush, ascending piano run playing in the background. Gauzy clips from nostalgic midcentury auto ads fill the screen. “See the USA in your Chevrolet,” 1950s diva Dinah Shore sings.

But this isn’t your average car advertisement. Soon, the title track from Singin’ in the Rain begins to play, and scenes of cars burning amid wildfires and filling with water in floods start rolling. The once rollicking music becomes somber.

This commercial is the latest production from Oscar-winning director Adam McKay’s climate-focused production company Yellow Dot Studios. Launched last year, the non-profit studio produces short-form videos aiming to push back on climate disinformation.

The parody, which highlights the role fossil fuel-powered cars play in global warming, employs a darkly humorous tone, verging on preachy but with a slight wink.

Yeah, no, it isn’t on the verge, it is preachy. Why don’t they do this to all their fellow climate cultists, who mostly haven’t given up their own use of fossil fuels? How about starting with the Grand High Poobahs, like Biden, Obama, Gore, Sheldon Whitehouse, Hollywood celebs, etc.?

Another January video parodies the television show Game of Thrones, featuring actors from the program and Rainn Wilson from The Office. Wilson plays a climate scientist brought in from the future to warn the court of Westeros – a kingdom in the show – about the dangers of “big oil”.

“I always thought that the denialism that hung over Westeros about the fact that ‘winter is coming’ was equivalent to the denialism of the US regarding climate change,” Wilson told the Guardian, referencing the program. “Extreme weather events equal the white walkers. And what better moment to showcase this stupefying absurdity than when Cersei is shown the actual zombie (science) and still would rather fight her same old battles. I just hope that we can save King’s Landing before it burns to the ground.”

Good grief. But, I do remember when the climate wackos were linking GoT to climate doom.

“A very gradual change as happened over the last, let’s call it 40 years roughly, with the rise of neoliberalism with money and big capital fusing itself to movements, culture, politics, news media,” he said. “It creates this kind of professional language that’s devoid of a lot of populist energy … of anger, sadness, laugh-out-loud comedy, absurdism.”

You know, if it was actually mostly/solely caused by Humanity people would be interested in Doing Something. If they didn’t act like a cult which wants to take people’s money and limit their freedom and life choices, people might listen. Instead, you have almost 40 years of Spreading Awareness, and cult members acting like unhinged lunatics.

Roberts-Steele said Yellow Dot will make videos encouraging people to “vote in their best interests, [including on] climate change”. But McKay has no plans to start praising Biden in Yellow Dot videos. Powerful Democrats, said McKay, “do not respond to ‘let’s make nice’”.

“They only respond to pressure,” he said.

And that pressure is meant to force Everyone Else to comply. Say what you will about Scientology, at least they aren’t trying to force everyone to be a Scientologist.

WWIII Watch: French President, Poland Minister Yammer About NATO Troops In Ukraine

By William Teach March 9, 2024 – 10:30 am

Good ideas all around!

Macron hints at troops in Ukraine, but EU has bigger issues

Emmanuel Macron has set the cat among the pigeons once again. Known for proclivity to provoke debate among EU and NATO allies, the centrist French president raised eyebrows by taking aim at a long-standing taboo in the war in Ukraine: the prospect of deploying Western troops.

“There is no consensus today to send ground troops… [but] nothing should be ruled out,” Macron said at a gathering of Ukraine’s allies in Paris last week, convened amid worrying signs and reported ammunition shortages from the front line of fighting with Russia.

Germany, Spain, Italy, the UK, Poland, NATO and the European Commission all underlined that they had no plans to send ground troops to Ukraine – a long-standing red line, as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz pointed out, because of the risk of dangerous escalation and direct confrontation with Russia.

Macron was yapping about the new red line being if Russia “approaches” either Odesa or Kiev it would mean French troops going to Ukraine. And Poland, eh?

Poland’s foreign minister says the presence of NATO troops in Ukraine is ‘not unthinkable’

Poland’s foreign minister says the presence of NATO forces “is not unthinkable” and that he appreciates the French president for not ruling out that idea.

Radek Sikorski made the observation during a discussion marking the 25th anniversary of Poland’s NATO membership in the Polish parliament on Friday, and the Foreign Ministry tweeted the comments later in English. (snip)

The Kremlin has warned that if NATO sends combat troops, a direct conflict between the alliance and Russia would be inevitable. Russian President Vladimir Putin said such a move would risk a global nuclear conflict.

Poland’s PM Donald Tusk has uncategorically stated that Poland will not be sending troops to Ukraine, but, it doesn’t help when high ranking government yammering about the possibility of troops in Ukraine. This isn’t the Cold War, and Ukraine is not worth WWIII.

And if Biden wins re-election, or looks like he’s going to lose badly, who knows what he will do.

Your Fault: Maple Season Comes Early In Midwest

By William Teach March 9, 2024 – 7:00 am

We can fix this with a tax and taking away your freedom and life choices, you know

Maple syrup season came weeks early in the Midwest. Producers are doing their best to adapt

Jeremy Solin doesn’t need a jacket right now on his family farm in northern Wisconsin. There’s no snow blanketing the dead leaves in the grove of sugar maples. There, pails already hang beneath spiles in the trunks that have started dripping sap. And the ground is muddy — a sign of the spring thaw.

But the timing is all off. “It’s just very disorienting,” he said.

He isn’t the only maple syrup producer feeling this way. In many parts of Wisconsin and the Midwest this year, the warmest winter on record drove farmers and hobbyists alike to start collecting tree sap for maple syrup a month or more earlier than they normally would.

Experts say that the shift in maple syrup season could be one clear indicator of the ways climate change is affecting trees, but they also think the practice serves as an important motivation to preserve forests. Producers have deeply personal ties to their land, whether they are Indigenous producers serving their community or have family-run operations and want to leave a legacy for the next generation. That relationship between people and their maple trees may ultimately make people more willing to adapt and be resilient in the face of seasonal changes.

Funny how they never mention that we’re experiencing an El Nino. Oh, and that warm periods happen. Na, they have to blame this on you, because, otherwise, how do they take your money and freedom?

With drier summers and less snowfall contributing to groundwater, Solin, who also works for the University of Wisconsin’s division of extension, says the unpredictability is the biggest challenge for sustaining maple syrup operations like his. And the lengthening of the trees’ growing season, with an earlier start and later end to warmer weather, could affect the sap too. So Solin is concerned about water, about the increasingly dry summers in his area and what that could mean for continuing to make quality syrup.

“You can be doom and gloom, but you’ve also got to think about solutions,” Suzukovich III said. He pointed out that Indigenous people have been coming up with those kinds of solutions for thousands of years, giving maples a break when they needed it and diversifying the kinds of trees that they tap besides maple.

Oh, wait, the Native Americans have noticed this happening for thousands of years? So, it’s not unusual? It’s just part of the natural order? Huh. Doom cancelled.

Surprise: Democrat Mayors In PRC Back Measure Which Locks Up Repeat Thieves

By William Teach March 9, 2024 – 6:45 am

They may be backing it, but, do they really believe this, or, are they just trying to placate voters temporarily? Or feeling the heat of lost donations from big companies?

Liberal California mayors are backing this ballot measure that could lock up repeat retail thieves

For the first time in ten years, California voters could get the opportunity to change a controversial law aimed at criminal justice reform.

A new proposal, called The Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act, would roll back parts of Proposition 47, approved by California voters in 2014 to reduce overcrowding in jails by reducing punishments for some crimes, like theft and drug possession.

Many of the proposal’s backers are exactly who you’d expect: district attorneys, Republican lawmakers and big chain stores that have been lashing out against a Covid-era rise in shoplifting that last year subsided. But it has support from a handful of Democratic mayors, too.

Although Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom opposes the proposal, arguing the system is sufficiently tough on crime. But it appears destined to be decided by voters: The proposal needs fewer than 547,000 signatures to get on California’s ballot in November, and organizers tell CNN they have 75% of the signatures needed.

Will Democrat voters sign on in high enough numbers?

Under the new proposal, “an offender with two prior convictions for theft can be charged with a felony, regardless of the value of the stolen property.” It would also allow prosecutors to add together the value of property stolen across multiple thefts to exceed the $950 threshold for a felony charge, and create harsher punishments for organized retail theft rings. (big snip)

When Prop 47 was approved by California voters ten years ago, it turned most drug possession offenses from felonies to misdemeanors. And right now, non-prescription fentanyl is not listed on Prop 47 as a hard drug that can result in harsher punishments in certain cases.

The new proposal would create harsher penalties for people who deal fentanyl and other hard drugs.

You know, common sense. Things that are freaking common sense. They can certainly find other ways to punish these people rather than mass incarceration in horrible living conditions, but, criminals need to be punished. They need to know there are consequences for their actions. Which is the opposite of what the People’s Republik Of California has been doing.

Who’s Up For Making The Internet More “Sustainable”?

By William Teach March 8, 2024 – 3:00 pm

What this really means is the climate cult looking to control the Internet and what people say on it, what they do, along with enforcing fines and fees for using too much

Climate change SEO survey: Making the web more sustainable

In November, I conducted a survey aimed at SEO professionals, delving into their perspectives on climate change.

This article unpacks the survey results, highlighting key findings and offering practical advice for SEO professionals looking to impact the environment positively.

But first, let’s explore why the link between SEO and climate change matters.

Let’s not. It’s just another attempt to link a thing with the climate cult

What the heck is a low carbon design website? They want to force people to use less streaming. And, the bots thing will be about blocking anyone who’s real who they claim is a bot. If you think that’s conspiracy, you haven’t been paying attention to the Fascist tendencies of the climate cult.

82% of respondents said they were willing to not work with a “fossil fuels producer.” They’re super excited to use a carbon footprint calculator for websites. Which can generate fines and fees as this is enforced for all. Then annoy clients by “educating” clients on their carbon footprint. They can nag by being “more vocal about web sustainability amongst peers and within communities.”

It’ll be fun when the young climahysterics realize that the climate cult they support is limiting their ability to watch everything online as well as uploading their own stupid (except for animal ones) videos.

House Passes Bill Requiring ICE To Arrest Illegals Who Commit Local Theft And Burglary

By William Teach March 8, 2024 – 10:30 am

170 Democrats voted against the bill, which is named after Laken Riley, who was murdered by an illegal

House passes Laken Riley Act requiring ICE to detain migrants arrested for theft

Americans before illegalsThe House of Representatives on Thursday passed the Laken Riley Act that would require ICE to detain illegal immigrants charged with local theft or burglary, after a migrant accused of similar offenses was arrested for the murder of an American college student.

The act, which was passed by a 251-170 vote, is named after 22-year-old Laken Riley, a college nursing student who was recently killed on the campus of University of Georgia. Jose Antonio Ibarra, the illegal immigrant from Venezuela charged with the brutal murder, had been arrested in New York prior to the murder, but was not detained by ICE.

“The senseless murder of Laken Riley by Jose Ibarra, who had no business being in this country, was another wakeup call as Americans experience an illegal alien crime wave because of Joe Biden’s open border and local sanctuary city policies,” Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., who introduced the bill, told Fox News Digital earlier this week. He said Thursday after its passage in a post on X that “I now urge the Senate to take up this bill immediately.”

Before being charged with felony murder, Ibarra was once arrested in New York for endangering a child, and he was cited in Georgia for misdemeanor shoplifting in October 2023 along with his brother, Diego Ibarra, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Realistically, any person arrested for any crime who is unlawfully present in the U.S. should be reported to ICE, and held till ICE comes and picks them up. This bill is aimed directly at those jurisdictions which refuse to cooperate with ICE. In comparison, if someone is going through the legal naturalization system and commit a crime, they are booted from the U.S. It’s spelled out in black and white in the instructions. They know this before they come. They sign documents that they’re clear on all the provisions of obtaining citizenship, including not being criminals. Yet, sanctuary cities, counties, and states ignore illegal aliens committing crime, and usually let them go.

The Laken Riley Act would “require Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to issue a detainer for illegal aliens who are charged or cited with local theft or burglary.”

The bill will also allow individual states to take action against the federal government “if an immigration related action harms the state or its citizens.”

“Allow states to sue the federal government for injunctive relief if an immigration related action (parole, violation of detention requirements, etc.), harms the state or its citizens. This gives states legal resource to force the federal government to address certain failures related to border security,” a press release announcing the legislation read.

It should allow cities and states to sue other cities and states which release illegal alien criminals.

37 Democrats voted with Republicans. My terrible rep, Deborah Ross, voted against it. You can see what yours did here. Will the Senate take the bill up and have a vote?
