DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The crush and stampede that struck the hajj last month in Saudi Arabia killed at least 2,177 pilgrims, a new Associated Press tally showed Monday, after officials in the kingdom met to discuss the tragedy. The toll keeps rising from the Sept. 24 disaster outside Mecca as individual countries identify bodies and work to determine the whereabouts of hundreds of pilgrims still missing. The official Saudi toll of 769 people killed and 934 injured has not changed since Sept. 26, and officials have yet to address the discrepancy. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Naif bin Abdul Aziz, who is also the kingdom’s interior minister, oversaw a meeting late ...

German patriotic protesters compare Merkel to Hitler. The “refugee” crisis created by Chancellor Angela Merkel is shaping up to be the classic illustration of what happens when you confuse liberal ideology with demographic and cultural reality. Merkel apparently had three rationales for her brilliant idea of opening Germany’s borders to Syrian immigration [Germany opens gates, welcomes all Syrian asylum seekers: Urges UK To Do the Same, by Donna Rachel Edmunds, Breitbart, August 25, 2015].

Hope & Change gives Canadian Conservatives the Axe

Canada's Liberal leader Justin Trudeau rode a late surge to a stunning majority election victory on Monday, toppling Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservatives with a promise of change and returning a touch of glamor, youth and charisma to Ottawa. Harper conceded defeat and the Conservative party announced his resignation, ending a nine-year run in power and the 56-year-old's brand of fiscal and cultural conservatism that voters appeared to sour on. The Liberals seized a Parliamentary majority, a turn in political fortunes that smashed the record for the number of seats gained from one election to the next. The center-left Liberals had been a distant third place party ...

Swiss Election Shows Rejection of Immigration Anarchy

A Swiss People's Party election poster reads “Against excess, remain free.” The Swiss have been more sensible than most in who they allow in their small nation, such as in last year’s referendum choosing to limit immigration. On Sunday, the voters strongly chose the Swiss People’s Party (SVP) to register their disapproval of Europe’s illegal immigration chaos. Al Jazeera reported that the election was “dominated by the immigration issue”, noting that a recent poll “showed that 48 percent of those questioned thought migration was the most important issue facing the country.” Swiss elections: anti-immigration SVP party heading for record ...
Merkel’s Boner: The Gift That Keeps on Giving; Merkel to Keep Out 19 Million Syrians by Letting in 79 Million Turks

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu of Turkey and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany met Sunday in Istanbul. Chancellor Merkel is starting to notice that her decision to unilaterally trash E.U. rules and let in countless Muslim from Syria (population 19 million) and who knows from where else maybe isn’t quite working out so hot. But, don’t worry, she’s come up with a new solution to fix her old solution: She’ll get the Turks to stop the Syrian invasion of Europe! In return, she’ll merely give 79 million Muslim Turks the right to move to Europe. Merkel Links Turkey’s E.U. Hopes to Stemming Flow of Refugees By TIM ARANGO OCT. 18, 2015 ISTANBUL — ...

Back on January 1, 2014 I published one of my favorite Taki’s columns, The Shadowy Imam of the Poconos, about Turkey’s Gulen Cult: … For example, the current political shakeup in Turkey turns out to be a mashup of various obsessions and hobbyhorses of mine, such as byzantine conspiracy theories, test prep, the naiveté of American education reform, immigration fraud, the deep state, and even the Chechen Bomb Brothers’ Uncle Ruslan. This lattice of coincidence begins with Turkey’s prime minister Recip Tayyip Erdo an, who is presently besieged by graft scandals following police raids on his inner circle.

All Disguise Cast Off–German Official Tells Germans That If They Don’t Like Living With “Migrants”, They Can Leave Germany

A character in one of Evelyn Waugh’s novels reacts to the Nazi-Soviet pact with the thought: “The enemy at last was plain in view, huge and hateful, all disguise cast off.” I had a similar reaction to this video clip of Walter Lübcke, District President of Lohfelden in the heart of Germany, telling a hall full of citizens that if they don’t like mass settlement of Muslims in the district, they should leave Germany. There it is, plain in view, all disguise cast off: The globalists hate their own ancestral populations and want us gone. At this point no-one has any excuse for not knowing the agenda.

Carcasses of cattle litter the landscape in northeastern Ethiopia. More than 80 percent of Ethiopia's population works in agriculture, making the country especially vulnerable to drought. The New York Times has recently been auditioning other parts of the world for the flash mob role in Camp of the Saints 2016, such as a spate of articles about how cruel it is that Central American youths can’t overrun America’s southern border with impunity.

Istanbul (AFP) - Germany's PEGIDA movement holds an anti-migrant rally Monday a year on from its formation, highlighting a European backlash towards a massive influx that has heaped pressure on Chancellor Angela Merkel. The demonstration comes a day after Swiss voters returned a historically strong result for a populist party known for its virulent campaigns against immigrants and Islam, and following a knife attack on a German mayoral candidate who championed refugee issues. Monday's rally, due to start at 1600 GMT in PEGIDA's stronghold of Dresden, marks a contrast to efforts by Merkel who over the weekend made a crucial one-day trip to Turkey, where she hailed progress in ...

A television crew films as a Palestinian man walks past a wall put in place by Israeli officials to separate the Palestinian neighborhood of Jabel Mukaber from the Jewish settlement of Armon Hanatziv in east Jerusalem, on October 18, 2015 (AFP Photo/Thomas Coex) Jerusalem (AFP) - Israeli police on Sunday began erecting a wall in east Jerusalem to protect a Jewish neighbourhood subject to firebomb and stone attacks launched from an adjacent Palestinian village. The wall would effectively divide Palestinian Jabel Mukaber and Jewish Armon Hanatziv, raising criticism among the government's opposition, which considered the move a de facto division of Jerusalem. As of Sunday, police had ...

Economic instability, populist politicians and a refugee wave is changing the face of politics in Europe Another round of elections, another push from increasingly vocal nationalists. Austria’s far-right Freedom Party gave the Social Democrats a run for their money in local elections over the past weekend, but fell short of capturing Vienna’s mayoralty. What started as an oddity in European politics has quickly become a disturbing pattern. These five facts explain the rise of the radical right in Europe, its causes and its implications for the region. 1.

Barack Obama sought as his legacy to bring an end to the two longest wars in U.S. history. On Oct. 15, he, again, admitted failure. The 9,800 U.S. troops in Afghanistan will remain another year. And, on Inauguration Day 2017, 5,500 U.S. troops will still be there. Why cannot we leave? Because, if we do, we risk the re-seizure of power by the Taliban we drove out 14 years ago, and a wipeout of all we have accomplished in America’s longest war. When can we come home? Never, if we hope to secure that for which we have already paid with 2,500 U.S. dead. For not only have the Taliban shown they can capture cities like Kunduz in the north, ISIS has arrived to begin its trademark ...

"The village is on a minor road lined with traditional half-timbered bungalows, vegetable gardens and farms with almost no infrastructure or local shops for daily needs. " Think of what it means to be invaded. How would actually affect your life if your country was defeated and occupied by a foreign power? Your homes would be the property of a foreign people. You would become a stranger in your own land. Your quality of life would plummet as your community would lose its collective control over its own destiny. This is precisely what Germans face today. Villagers in a tiny, rural area of Lower Saxony in Germany are demanding answers after it transpired that their village with ...

Toyota to Phase Out Gas-Powered Vehicles, Doubling Down on Hydrogen

Not a drop of petrol- the Hydrogen powered Mirai Toyota Motor Co. wants to virtually eliminate gasoline-powered vehicles from its fleet by 2050, and is betting that hydrogen cars, rather than electric vehicles, will be the long-term answer. The Japanese maker recently introduced the Mirai, its first retail fuel-cell vehicle, and though sales have so far been measured in the hundreds, the target is to reach 30,000 annually by 2020, and even higher in the years beyond. A number of other automakers are experimenting with hydrogen power; Hyundai already offers a fuel-cell version of its Tucson SUV, and Honda will launch a retail model next year. While most competitors are focusing on ...

The leader of al-Qaeda linked group al-Nusra Front is encouraging jihadists in the Caucasus to attack Russia. His call follows similar condemnation of Russia from rival jihadi group the Islamic State (ISIS) and a number of Saudi clerics. “If the Russian army kills the people of Syria, then kill their people. And if they kill our soldiers, then kill their soldiers. An eye for an eye,” declared Abu Mohamed al-Jolani. Russia began airstrikes on September 30. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told the UN Security Council the government received a request from Assad to strike the rebels. Russia has stated they are only targeting the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL), but insiders ...

Disney's Pocahontas got it right when singing to John Smith that "every species is connected in a circle that never ends."What she didn't explain is what happens when a single plant, animal or organism is removed from this balanced system? But given the increasing amount of carbon build up, we may soon find out, a new study reveals. Researchers from the University of Adelaide recently conducted a global analysis of marine responses to increasing carbon dioxide emissions, and their findings suggest fisheries and ocean ecosystems have a tough road ahead of them. Expected ocean acidification and warming will greatly reduce marine biodiversity and key species that support ...
Why Do the Merkel Youth Come from Inbred Countries?

What with demand for Volkswagens soaring, German Chancellor Merkel’s decision to let in (literally) countless numbers of newcomers from the Muslim world is being hailed as an economic masterstroke that will counteract the deleterious wage-boosting effects of the number of working- age residents in Germany being otherwise expected to plunge from 49.2 million in 2013 all the way down to 48.8 million in 2020. But, strange as it may seem from reading The Economist, the word “demographics” means more than just “age.” One of the more interesting aspect of demographics is the “consanguinity” rate, or percentage of all marriages that are between first or second ...

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian troops backed by Russian airstrikes advanced against insurgents in the center of the country as President Vladimir Putin defended Moscow's intervention in the conflict, saying it would aid efforts to reach a political settlement. Putin said Moscow's objective was to stabilize the Syrian government and create conditions for a political compromise. "When a division of international terrorists stands near the capital, then there is probably little desire for the Syrian government to negotiate, most likely feeling itself under siege in its own capital," he said in an interview with Russian state television broadcast on Sunday. Critics of ...
