Mr Abbott
said in his speech that it would require a lot of logistical work and
money to enforce 'stop the boats' policies and would 'gnaw at our
consciences', but called it a 'necessary step' to prevent a
'catastrophic error' 'It is the only way to prevent a tide of humanity surging through Europe and quite possibly changing it forever,' he said. The former Liberal leader added it was 'misguided altruism' that was 'leading much of Europe into catastrophic error'. 'No country or continent can open its borders to all comers without fundamentally weakening itself,' he said."

German Jews Warn Merkel That Refugees May Spread Anti-Semitism
Bloomberg
Jewish leaders told German Chancellor Angela Merkel they’re concerned that refugees streaming into the country may foment anti-Semitism, underscoring the risk of social conflict as her government struggles to contain the migrant crisis.
Representatives of the Central Council of Jews in Germany said during a meeting with Merkel that many refugees “come from countries in which Israel is viewed as the enemy” and that “these prejudices are often projected onto Jews in general,” the chancellor’s Christian Democratic Union party said in a statement Tuesday. CDU leaders responded that they would combat anti-Semitism “resolutely.”

Merkel’s Refugee Policy Breaks the Law, Bavarian Minister Says
Bloomberg
German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision not to apply European Union rules in her handling of the region’s refugee crisis violates German laws, said a Bavarian state minister whose party is allied with Merkel nationally.
“The German federal government is clearly overstepping its constitutional competencies at present,” Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said Wednesday on ZDF public television. “It is not in the power of the federal government to just override and no longer apply existing European and German law.”
The EU agreement requires refugees to be registered in the countries where they apply for asylum and allows bloc members to send back those that have been registered elsewhere. Germany can no longer take the 9,000-10,000 asylum seekers entering the country per day in violation of those rules, Herrmann said. "

Schaeuble Says Germany Must Send Refugees Back to Afghanistan
Bloomberg
Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Germany and its allies are keeping troops in Afghanistan longer than planned to protect civilians there, meaning people fleeing the war-torn nation have no right to seek asylum in Europe’s biggest economy.
The continued military deployment “means, of course, that we’re in Afghanistan so that the people don’t have to leave Afghanistan,” Schaeuble said Wednesday in a speech at a logistics congress in Berlin. “That’s why the people must remain in Afghanistan, and when they come here, we must send them back to Afghanistan. That’s always been the goal of the mission.”

Farage: Portugal Crisis is “Modern Day Brezhnev Doctrine”
Guido Fawkes
Nigel Farage has given another one of those must-watch speeches in the European Parliament today. The topic was the democracy crisis in Portugal, where the government has lost its majority but the anti-EU opposition is being prevented from attempting to form a coalition: ..........The opposition in Portugal might be socialists, but the country is effectively suspending democracy to prevent Eurosceptics with a massive electoral mandate from taking power…"

Tuberculosis more common in parts of London than in Rwanda, Eritrea and Iraq
Daily Mirror
The report, issued by the London Assembly, found a third of London boroughs exceed the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) “high incidence” threshold with more than 40 cases per 100,000 people.
And some borough wards are recording markedly more - areas of Hounslow, Brent, Harrow, Newham and Ealing have rates of more than 150 incidents per 100,000 people. ......Prisoners, refugees, migrants, people with substance abuse issues and homeless people were found to be most at risk of the disease."

How do you catch it?
TB is passed through the air and
can be caught from being exposed to an infected person coughing and
sneezing. It is usually caught off people who live together and affects
mainly those with low immune systems. The most at risk are prisoners,
drug addicts, refugees and migrants. People should not worry about
travelling on public transport as the disease requires a consistent and
close proximity, said Dr Sahota."

Eurozone crosses Rubicon as Portugal's anti-euro Left banned from power
Telegraph
Constitutional crisis looms after anti-austerity Left is denied parliamentary prerogative to form a majority government .......Portugal has entered dangerous political waters. For the first time since the creation of Europe’s monetary union, a member state has taken the explicit step of forbidding eurosceptic parties from taking office on the grounds of national interest.Anibal Cavaco Silva, Portugal’s constitutional president, has refused to appoint a Left-wing coalition government even though it secured an absolute majority in the Portuguese parliament and won a mandate to smash the austerity regime bequeathed by the EU-IMF Troika........ Greece’s Syriza movement, Europe’s first radical-Left government in Europe since the Second World War, was crushed into submission for daring to confront eurozone ideology. Now the Portuguese Left is running into a variant of the same meat-grinder.Europe’s socialists face a dilemma. They are at last waking up to the unpleasant truth that monetary union is an authoritarian Right-wing enterprise that has slipped its democratic leash, yet if they act on this insight in any way they risk being prevented from taking power. Brussels really has created a monster."

Turkey holds Europe to ransom over migrants: Country issues list of demands - including 3 billion euros in 'aid' - in return for tightening border controls
Daily Mail
To get a grip on the crisis and halt the movement of migrants, EU states have now struck a deal with Turkey. The
agreement made with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan at a summit in
Brussels includes a possible €3bn (£2.2bn) in aid, something German
Chancellor Angela Merkel said EU states were considering. EU officials
have so far agreed to 500 million Euros. It
also includes the prospect of easier access to travel visas for 78
million Turks (which is likely to be limited at first to business
travellers and students) and 're-energised' talks over Turkey joining
the EU." .....
........EU plans to
make it easier for Turkish nationals to get visas to travel to Europe,
in return for Ankara's help in stemming the flow of Syrian refugees,
have been denounced as 'madness' by Nigel Farage. The
Ukip leader said the move was 'bordering on insanity' adding that
'agreeing to liberalise border requirements for 75 million Turkish
nationals is a form of EU madness.' 'From a cost, security and cultural perspective, this is completely the wrong move."

Laws of physics hold not only for Volkswagen
As predicted, Mercedes, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi also have emissions an order of magnitude above "test" numbers
'......However, the emissions that have been manipulated also include the oxides of nitrogen. And those are harmful, I think. However, I don't really believe that different diesel cars differ so terribly much from each other when it comes to NOx emissions. All of the diesel motors burn the diesel fuel and it must chemically mean pretty much the same thing.'
To summarize, the only right reaction to this would-be "scandal" is to allow much higher NOx concentrations for personal cars – or eliminate the regulation on NOx in these products altogether – and admit that the carmakers have behaved appropriately given the pressure to violate the laws of physics that they were exposed to. Anything else is either a deliberate attack by the Luddites on harmless technology – or the industrial civilization in general; or a continuation of the practice in which there will unavoidably be a huge gap between what is happening in the real world and what people say or demand or write on the paper."

How Putin outwitted the West
Spectator
And most importantly, Putin stole the show at the United Nations General Assembly last month with an impassioned speech denouncing the whole US-backed project of democracy in the Middle East at its very root. The Arab Spring has been a catastrophe, Putin argued, and the western countries who encouraged Arab democrats to rise against their corrupt old rulers opened a Pandora’s box of troubles. ‘Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, we got violence, poverty and social disaster,’ he told assembled delegates, in remarks aimed squarely at the White House. ‘Nobody cares about human rights, including the right to life. I cannot help asking those who have forced this situation, do you realise what you have done?’ It was quite a sight: a Russian president taking the moral high ground against an American president — and getting away with it. ......
But it’s precisely because Putin has been proved right about the dangers of intervention that his own adventure in Syria is likely to end badly. For one, it’s a myth that Assad is the main bulwark against Isis in Syria. According to figures from IHS Jane’s, only 6 per cent of the Syrian regime army’s 982 operations last year were actually directed against Isis. Most of Assad’s attacks — including with Scud missiles and the infamous barrel bombs dropped from helicopters on residential areas — targeted groups that opposed Isis, thereby helping pave the way for Isis to take over Raqqa and the oilfields of northern Syria.
......The Russian operation in Syria is minuscule compared to the vast bases like Camp Victory that Halliburton built for the US military in Iraq, which looked like major airports and boasted full-scale food courts, shopping malls and acres of air-conditioned accommodation. Reports so far show a shipshape but tiny Russian operation, complete with a field bakery, a portable laundry and a single squadron of aircraft as well as some combat helicopters."

Yes, there ARE 'no-go' zones in Europe
WND
There’s only one problem: Europe is full of Muslim “no-go” zones, which have been documented, lamented, reported on and openly discussed for years. In fact, the governments of France and other European nations have identified specific enclaves, where Muslim immigrants have chosen not to assimilate, as areas in which law enforcement has lost some degree of control. The French government lists on its website 751 Zones Urbaines Sensibles, or Sensitive Urban Zones, that the state does not fully control, notes Middle East foreign policy expert Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum. .....Pipes, who was one of the first to use the term “no-go zone” in reference to Muslims in Europe, noted in 2006 that France’s Sensitive Urban Zones ranged from two zones in the medieval town of Carcassonne to 12 in the heavily Muslim city of Marseilles, with hardly a town in the country lacking one. Pipes has continuously updated his original 2006 post, citing references by politicians, civil leaders and journalists to “no-go zones” in Britain, Germany and Sweden, as well as France."

NYC Police Ignore Muslim Brotherhood Assault on the Streets of New York
American Thinker
New York City residents were treated to a glimpse of their (and our!) future recently when Egyptian journalists in town to cover the visit of Egyptian president Al-Sisi to the U.N. were assaulted by Muslim Brotherhood agents -- in full view of New York City police. The journalists were assaulted verbally and physically while New York’s finest looked on, deigning to intervene in much the same way a schoolteacher does with a recalcitrant student – tut-tutting and tsk-tsking – rather than apprehending and jailing the violent assaulters as one would expect on the streets of an American city. In the end, after clearly committing crimes of personal violence, the attackers were sent on their way. Not arrested. Not detained. Simply allowed to wander off, their intimidation attack successful and unchallenged."

Refugees force woman out of the home she lived in for 23 YEARS after migrant influx

move is the second of its kind, after 51-year-old nurse Bettina Halbey
was kicked out of her home in Nieheim, north Germany."

leader of Germany's police union, added that information about the
extent of the crisis is being hidden by authorities to avoid scaring the
public. His comments come just days after clashes erupted at a
migrant camp near the central German city of Kassel, leaving 14 people
injured. .......
There have also been reports of child sex assaults and rapes at a refugee centre in Giessen, a town in the north-west of Germany. Around 5,000 migrants are based at the camp, where campaigners say unaccompanied women are "fair game". Hundreds of refugees recently used broken-up chairs and beds to attack each other at a camp in the port city of Hamburg."

month an ambulance was dispatched to the camp but the crew were
harassed and the vehicle was attacked, according to reports. "

Euroscepticism is growing all over Europe
Spectator
In western Europe, the Euroscepticism that used to be portrayed as a mere embarrassing blight among Tory backbenchers is now breaking out everywhere. Ten years ago Dutch voters rejected the EU constitution, but were soon afterwards signed up for the almost identical Lisbon Treaty. Ten years on, campaigners in Holland have succeeded in collecting far more than the 300,000 signatures they needed to force a Dutch vote on further EU enlargement. One of the authors of that initiative, the Dutch writer and philosopher Thierry Baudet, this week announced that he wants to turn the vote into a debate on Dutch EU membership as a whole. "

Thousands enter Syria to join ISIS despite global efforts
Times of India
WASHINGTON: Nearly 30,000 foreign recruits have now poured into Syria, many to join the Islamic State, a doubling of volunteers in just the past 12 months and stark evidence that an international effort to tighten borders, share intelligence and enforce antiterrorism laws is not diminishing the ranks of new militant fighters. Among those who have entered or tried to enter the conflict in Iraq or Syria are more than 250 Americans, up from about 100 a year ago, according to intelligence and law enforcement officials."

Money Flows With Refugees, and Life Jackets Fill the Shops
NYT
IZMIR, Turkey — For months, Ahmed Abdul-Hamid, a Palestinian
from the Syrian city of Aleppo, tried and failed to cross the sea to
start a new life in Europe. The Turkish police detained him. Smugglers
tricked him. Once, his boat stalled and he had to swim back to shore,
leaving him stranded and broke. But
his fortunes changed this summer when a Turkish smuggler hired him to
recruit passengers from among the refugees and migrants flooding into
this port city. Soon, his phone was ringing nonstop with people trying
to get to Europe, and the cash was pouring in for him — as much as
$4,000 per day."
German nurse faces eviction from council block where she brought up her children to make way for asylum seekers
Daily Mail
A German
woman is set to be evicted from the home where she raised her children
on order for the local council to turn her block of flats into a refugee

Halbey received a letter earlier this month, telling her that she has
to move out of her home-of-16-years in Nieheim, west Germany. The
51-year-old nurse has been told that she has until May next year to
vacate her flat, as Germany struggles to find housing for the thousands
of refugees and migrants arriving in the country every week."

“We have been witnessing this violence for weeks and months. Groups based on ethnicity, religion or clan structures go after each other with knives and homemade weapons… Sunnis are fighting Shiites, there are Salafists from competing groups. They are trying to impose their rules in the shelters. Christians are being massively oppressed and the Sharia is being enforced....Wendt gave the interview days after 300 Albanian migrants clashed with 70 Pakistani migrants at a refugee shelter in Calden, a town in the state of Hesse, on September 27. More than a dozen people, including three police officers, were injured… More than 60 migrants, including ten children, were injured after Pakistanis and Syrians clashed at the same shelter on September 13. ...
