‘AMIENS, FRANCE—Months of tension between police and young people in a troubled district of northern France exploded on Tuesday, with dozens of youths facing off against riot officers in a night of violence. Seventeen officers were injured, a pre-school and public gym were torched, and at least three passing drivers in Amiens were dragged from their cars.
While the identity of the rioters and the immediate cause is unclear, the economic picture of the area in question is not. Unemployment skews higher in northern France and among the country’s youth. Less than two weeks ago, the French government declared Amiens among 15 impoverished zones to receive more money and security…’

Things that make one go “hmmmmmm……”
‘Is the government preparing for civil unrest by amassing stockpiles of ammunition purchased through various government agencies such as the National Weather Service to complement purchases made through the Department of Homeland Security?
A solicitation appearing on the FedBizOps website asks for delivery of 46,000 rounds of .40 S&W JHP to the National Weather Service in various locations on the East Coast along with a request for 500 paper targets….’
The totalitarian impulse is alive and well in socialist NZ:
‘A new tribunal to fight cyber-bullying would have the power to name and shame offenders.
It would also be able to silence cyber bullies by issuing “takedown” orders.
A new criminal offence for publishing offensive comments on Facebook and Twitter and sending hurtful text messages would also be introduced under the Law Commission proposals….’ source
Slice it anyway you like, this is an arrogant and unlawful attack on free speech. A “hurtful” text message to become a criminal offence, FFS! And who gets to define what’s “hurtful”? Why, the “victim”, of course. Which would be yet another example of the lame bastards who have been brought up to believe that life ought to be “fair” and free of pain. Politicians have learned well how to use that as a lever for more control.
Open house
Busy. Beer’s in the ‘fridge.
Sigh….
‘Home detention for man who broke baby’s legs
A child advocate is disgusted a Napier man has been given a year’s home detention for breaking the legs of his baby.
James Hall admitted last year bending back the legs of his five-month-old baby and squeezing her hard against his body, causing fractures in both legs and a break in her shin…’
Surrendering our borders:
Via Andrew Bolt:
‘..But overall, the report released today is vindication for the Opposition. Turning back boats could be “effective, says Houston, , Nauru should be reopened and the Malaysian people swap needs more protections built it.
Problem is, does the report give too much away?
The panel also wants a huge increase in our refugee intake from 13,750 to 20,000 immediately, and then over five years to 27,000.
Why? So that people coming on boats will figure they’ve got a good chance of getting accepted the easy way. They won’t come in on boats any more, but planes.
This is a surrender, with a big budget consequences:
– an increase in the Humanitarian Program from its current level of 13,750 places per annum to 20,000 places per annum would cost in the order of $1.4 billion over the forward estimates;..’
Given the level of anger among ordinary Australians about the way the country is being transformed without them even being asked, one has to wonder what is driving the legal and illegal immigration. I believe there are two factors in play here: The U.N. and business lobbysists who want a source of cheap labour. That it fits perfectly with the left’s loathing of traditional Australian values is merely a bonus from their point of view.
Soft touch Australia–provided you’re not white and working, that is..

The most powerful anti-Obama essay ever.
‘..This is the Post-American, Anti-American and UnAmerican campaign to divide up, carve up and toss aside the laws and traditions of the United States and replace them with the power of arrogance. It is the last stand of a beleaguered nation facing barbarians inside its gate. Every previous election was a contest between two American candidates who wanted to preside over the United States.
This is an election contest between the United States and an emerging Post-American order. That entity will be an American EU run by unelected bureaucrats, governed by politically correct technocrats and upheld by corrupt financial pirates disguising the collective bankruptcy with numbers games so elaborate that they make every billion-dollar con game and pyramid scheme that has come before seem as simple as child’s play…’
Sultan Knish: The Most Divisive Campaign in American History
Robert Ardrey ‘African Genesis’ 1961
A few quotes:
‘…that remarkable killer, Australopithecus africanus, the last animal before man…our last direct ancestor in the animal world…. Man is a predator with an instinct to kill and a genetic cultural affinity for the weapon.’
——-
‘We and our greater philosophers must grant, I believe, that the masters of a universal society [i.e., “One World” government] with the aid of a captive science might just possibly succeed in producing, over a long period, a lasting answer to the problem of our animal nature: a universal human slave inherently obedient to other people’s reason.’
Perhaps doctors are a social disease, too?
‘Doctors target gun violence as a social disease
IS a gun like a virus, a car, tobacco or alcohol? Yes, say public health experts, who in the wake of recent mass shootings are calling for a fresh look at gun violence as a social disease…’
well…..
‘Doctors Kill More People Than Guns and Traffic Accidents Combined’
Guns bear a similarity with cars in that both are tools, and like all tools they may be mis-used. The fact that doctors MAY have to occasionally treat gunshot wounds gives them no special insight into the complexities of gun legislation. They’re abusing the respect accorded their profession and using that respect to dabble in social engineering.
