ISIS: We have smuggled over 4000 Jihadists into Europe posing as Syrian refugees...

See as most of the refugees are military age young men, I wouldn't be surprised if this was true. Look for all Hell to break loose in Europe in the next few months.

Via Express:
An operative working for Islamic State has revealed the terror group has successfully smuggled thousands of covert Jihadists into Europe.
The Syrian operative claimed more than 4,000 covert ISIS gunmen had been smuggled into western nations – hidden amongst innocent refugees.
The ISIS smuggler, who is in his 30s with a trimmed jet-black beard, revealed the ongoing clandestine operation is a complete success.
“Just wait,” he smiled.
The Islamic State operative spoke exclusively to BuzzFeed on the condition of anonymity and is believed to be the first to confirm plans to infiltrate western countries.
Islamic State, also referred to as IS and ISIS, is believed to be actively smuggling deadly gunmen across the sparsely-guarded 565-mile Turkish border and on to richer European nations, he revealed.
There are now more than 4,000 covert ISIS gunmen “ready” across the European Union, he claimed.

Denmark passes law forcing churches to conduct gay marriage...

Religious freedom has died in Europe. Obama, democrats and liberals are planning on killing it here. 
Via Telegraph:
The country’s parliament voted through the new law on same-sex marriage by a large majority, making it mandatory for all churches to conduct gay marriages.
Denmark’s church minister, Manu Sareen, called the vote “historic”.
“I think it’s very important to give all members of the church the possibility to get married. Today, it’s only heterosexual couples.”
Under the law, individual priests can refuse to carry out the ceremony, but the local bishop must arrange a replacement for their church.

Europe to dump climate change goals and take up fracking...

Obama still thinks climate change is important, but the rest od the world is losing interest.

Via Spiegel Online: 
The EU's reputation as a model of environmental responsibility may soon be history. The European Commission wants to forgo ambitious climate protection goals and pave the way for fracking -- jeopardizing Germany's touted energy revolution in the process.
The climate between Brussels and Berlin is polluted, something European Commission officials attribute, among other things, to the "reckless" way German Chancellor Angela Merkel blocked stricter exhaust emissions during her re-election campaign to placate domestic automotive manufacturers like Daimler and BMW. This kind of blatant self-interest, officials complained at the time, is poisoning the climate.
But now it seems that the climate is no longer of much importance to the European Commission, the EU's executive branch, either. Commission sources have long been hinting that the body intends to move away from ambitious climate protection goals. On Tuesday, the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported as much.

US Commission on International Religious Freedom worried about discrimination against Muslims in Europe...

The issue the US Commission on International Religious Freedom is highlighting is a ban on full-faced veils in some areas of Europe.  Meanwhile, Christians are being killed and their churches burned in many Muslim countries...

Via Raw Story:
A US panel criticized Western European countries Tuesday for “aggressive secularism” as it released a report on religious freedom that took aim at laws banning full-face veils in public.
For the first time, the US Commission on International Religious Freedom — whose members are appointed by the government — included a chapter on the region in its annual review of tolerance of other faiths around the world.
Because Western Europe generally has a very good record, “it’s easy to overlook the fact that there are some questions and problematic issues emerging there” related to religious dress and customs, commission chair Katrina Lantos Swett told reporters. [...]
The report addressed laws in France and Belgium that ban the wearing of full-face veils in public, noting that Muslim women who do so can now be stopped, questioned and fined by authorities.
“This raises discrimination concerns,” the report said.

Good News: European cap-and-trade system collapsing...

It is all a scam anyway...

Via Spiegel: 
The European cap-and-trade system has slid into near meaninglessness as Germany bickers on the sidelines. Hopes that the election in Lower Saxony might resolve the high-level bickering were misguided. Now Europe's carbon market has hit a new low.

For those involved in European Union climate policy, the German regional election in Lower Saxony on Sunday was a nail-biter. The hope for many was that Germany's pro-business Free Democratic Party (FDP) would suffer defeat and leader Philipp Rösler, who has been under pressure within his party for weeks now, would be forced to step down as economics minister. But that didn't happen. Instead, Rösler ended up in a stronger position than before, and the flagship project of Europe's climate policy settled deeper into a lifeless coma.[...]

'Something Has To Be Done Urgently' 
 
Indeed, the market for carbon credits has reached new lows. On Thursday, the price of carbon credits dropped 40 percent within 30 seconds before regaining most of the losses. In an indicator of just how vulnerable ETS threatens to become, the volatility followed a nearly meaningless vote for a non-binding recommendation by the industry committee of the European Parliament that the backloading plan be rejected....

European Central Bank considering cutting overnight rate to a negative number...

Quasi Socialism is working out so well for Europe...

Via The Telegraph:
Mario Draghi, the ECB’s president, said the governing council had discussed a cut in overnight deposit rate to below zero for the first time, and was "operationally ready" to do so if needed.
The comment sent the euro into a nosedive, dropping from $1.3075 to $1.2950 in just two hours. "A negative deposit rate is the mother of all sell signals for a currency," said Hans Redeker, currency chief at Morgan Stanley.
"You only do it if your purpose is to drive down the exchange rate to help exports. We know from Japan’s experience that you lose control of monetary policy if you go that route. We don’t think it will happen because the cost is too high, so we expect the euro to rebound."
Mr Draghi struggled to explain why the ECB held its main interest rate at 0.75pc, even though it expects economic contraction of 0.3pc next year, with inflation falling below its 2pc target. He said there had been a "wide discussion", a code term implying that several members pushed for a cut.
Obama is trying to model out government and economic system after Europe....

Christians at London's Heathrow Airport complain about Muslim harassment; get fired




Islam is taking over Europe at an increasing rate. Some major European cites are now 20% or more Muslim. They have attained a kind of super-minority status.
(Telegraph) — A Christian worker has launched a landmark legal action after she lost her job when she blew the whistle on what she says was a campaign of “race hate” by fundmentalist Muslims.

Nohad Halawi, who worked at Heathrow Airport, is suing her former employers for unfair dismissal, claiming that she and other Christian staff at the airport were victims of systematic harassment because of their religion.
She claims that she was told that she would go to Hell for her religion, that Jews were responsible for the September 11th terror attacks, and that a friend was reduced to tears having been bullied for wearing a cross...

“This is supposed to be a Christian country, but the law seems to be on the side of the Muslims.”

A mother of two, she says that she had always got on well with her Muslim colleagues and relations between staff of different faiths had been good in the past, but that the atmosphere became increasingly uncomfortable with a growing number of employees espousing “fundamentalist Islam”.

Great News! Carbon Prices Plunge in Europe!


I hope Al Gore goes broke. The carbon dioxide market plunged after the Copenhagen debacle.
Carbon prices plunged yesterday in the aftermath of the Copenhagen conference on climate change, dealing a blow to the credibility of the European Union’s carbon-trading scheme. Prices for carbon permits for December 2010 delivery, the benchmark contract for pricing European permits, dropped nearly 10 per cent in early trading, before recovering to end the day 8.3 per cent lower at €12.41. Lower prices give companies less incentive to invest in cutting their greenhouse gas output. Analysts estimate that prices of more than €40 a tonne are required to stimulate investment in new low-carbon technologies.

Did Obama cancel the European missile defense on Joe Biden's advice?



VP Joe Biden claims he was deeply involved in the decision to cancel the missile shield in Europe. That explains a lot. Apparently, Biden doesn't think Iran is a threat. Some experts fear they will have enough uranium for a nuclear warhead by the end of this year. Iran is expected to have ICBM capability by 2015 or sooner.

CNN reported:

But he did explain the logic of doing so, saying Iran -- a key concern for the United States -- was not a threat.
...
I am less concerned -- much less concerned -- about the Iranian potential. They have no potential at this moment...

Biden said he is "deeply" involved in the review of the missile defense program.

Iran tests missile capable of hitting Israel or Europe (video)

Iran tested a missile capable of hitting Israel or Europe. Yahoo News reported:
TEHRAN, Iran – Iran test-fired a missile capable of striking Israel, U.S. Mideast bases and Europe on Wednesday — a show of strength touted by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as he battles for re-election next month against more moderate opponents.

The U.S. responded by saying Iran must choose between destabilizing the Middle East or accepting the dialogue offered by President Barack Obama. The U.S. leader threatened earlier this week that Iran could face further international sanctions if it does not respond positively by year-end to U.S. attempts to open negotiations on its nuclear program.

Israel said the test appeared to be Iran's response to a positive meeting on Monday between Obama and new Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Iran tests new missile, Israel within range(video)

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says his country test-fired a new advanced missile Wednesday with a range capable of reaching Israel and U.S. Mideast bases. (May 20)

Europe is in an economic meltdown


As bad as the economy is in America, the situation is far worse in the European countries. The entire country of Iceland is bankrupt and the government has been toppled. France is facing rioting in the streets. Other European governments are watching their currency value collapse and unemployment rise to staggering levels. Compared to Europe, the USA is doing well.

Governments across Europe tremble as angry people take to the streets
Ian Traynor, Europe editor
The Guardian, Saturday 31 January 2009

France paralyzed by a wave of strike action, the boulevards of Paris resembling a debris-strewn battlefield. The Hungarian currency sinks to its lowest level ever against the euro, as the unemployment figure rises. Greek farmers block the road into Bulgaria in protest at low prices for their produce. New figures from the biggest bank in the Baltic show that the three post-Soviet states there face the biggest recessions in Europe.

It's a snapshot of a single day – yesterday – in a Europe sinking into the bleakest of times. Excerpted from guardian.co.uk
