There is the longstanding and ongoing debate between those who primarily favor "stability" in the world, and those who favor change.  It used to be that it was Conservatives that made the case for Realpolitik and continued "stability" while the Leftward side of the political spectrum argued constantly for "progressive change" if not outright sweeping […]

You wouldn’t know it because the MSM here are not talking about it, but there have been recent calls in Brussels for Brussels Journal Editor Paul Belien to be prosecuted for daring to report and discuss events and stories in Belgium from a center-right point of view.  The leftist elite sees this as promoting "hate […]

Michelle Malkin links to a report from WND that a group of jihadis from Afghanistan and Pakistan is heading to Europe to hunt down and kill all of the Danish Cartoonists who crafted the Mohamed Cartoons that set the Islamic World on fire a few months ago.  Here’s a quote from WND :

A dozen young […]

The U.S. government made news today by filing a trade violation charge with the E.U. against China at the World Trade Organization.  Its long overdue and nowhere near sufficient to break the many barriers erected to free trade by China, but at least it is a move in the right direction.  Here’s the lede from […]

If you have been watching the news lately you will have seen a few reports about rioting in France again, this time with the actual native French youth who are upset at a new labor law.  There’s a lot of commentary from the Right side of the blogosphere about how they are misguided and economically […]

You probably won’t hear much on the news about the protests of the ‘French Youths’ this time, because, well… they are actually French Youths this time.  This time the term ‘French Youths’ is not being used in politically correct fashion to describe African/Muslim Youths, but is instead actually talking about ethnic French kids.  Confusing I […]

In news from the Twilight Zone, ‘human rights activists’ and the Council of Europe have called on European governments to protect suspected terrorists from the CIA and other covert agencies.  What?  Yes they may or may not be terrorists but the most important thing here is that they be completely safe to do what they […]

The following is a Manifesto of opposition to Islamic Totalitarianism, copied from the Jyllands-Posten website.  Please read it and post it yourself if possible, join the effort if you can.  The Free World has three options facing it:  1) establish forcefully with peaceful means like public expression that we will not surrender our freedom, 2) […]

The ministers of parliament and beaurocrats of the EU continue their relentless march towards absolute and unchecked power over all of Europe.  Without a single national government willing to stand up and forcefully reject the seizure of powers there is every reason for them to do so, and they are.   Take the recent action of […]

One of the more under reported elements of the Bird Flu story has been the economic impact on the regions with reported infected bird stock.  Fear of the Bird Flu could cripple economies even if it doesn’t make the leap to a human-human spread disease if public information efforts do not succeed in convincing the […]

I don’t quite know what to think of the report I read today from the UK.  Though it is printed in a reputable publication, the description of the power grab working its way through Parliament even now is frightening.  Here is the key part from The Times (emphasis added):
The extraordinary Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill, […]

German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel decided to make and publish its own cartoon satirizing the Mohammed Cartoon Controversy, and is now under attack from abroad:
With the embers from the Danish cartoon dispute still burning, one Berlin newspaper appears to be on a suicide mission. On Friday, the Berlin daily Der Tagesspiegel ran a cartoon by Klaus […]

The riots in France a few months ago highlighted the deep problems facing that  nation, and eventually all of Europe.  The government’s reaction to the rioting was feeble at best and deeply worrying for observers concerned with seeing such a prominent and powerful European nation seemingly spiraling out of control.  The French government and public […]

Information is emerging that the organized riots staged around the manufactured Mohammed Cartoon Controversy spread so effectively because it fit neatly into a longer term plan of the Muslim Brotherhood.  ‘The Project’ describes their decades long strategy to take over the West, and apparently a copy of this document was captured in a raid and […]

Recent conflict between the West and the Islamic world has lead to much agonizing and discussion.  The real issues at stake, and the real sources of conflict are forcing the publics of both sides to confront ugly truths.  Trying to get participants to think about what they are doing and saying, Hugh Hewitt has been […]

The more information that surfaces about how this crisis regarding the Jyllands-Posten Mohammed Cartoons came to pass, the more it becomes clear that this is a planned event.  The outrage did not happen by itself.  It was deliberately and methodically stoked on a specific timetable.  Head over to the Brussels Journal if you want the […]

The hypocrisy of Islamists murdering and destroying while claiming to represent the Religion of Peace has been palpable in the last few days.  Especially since the original cartoons posted by Jyllands-Posten in Denmark are so tame.  The activity of violent fanatics in recent days justifies and indeed invites much more biting critique than those mild […]

The publishing of the Mohammed Cartoons is controversial, and many wonder why it was necessary to publish them.  To answer that question one needs to understand the dynamics of the European-Muslim relationship.  There is a history here that is completely relevant to what is now going on, and why the cartoons were published.  One individual […]

Iran is showing the world what can be done by a nation with resolve when dealing with those without resolve.  The Islamic rulers of Iran don’t like interference promoting democracy from abroad it turns out, and they aren’t going to sit quietly while it happens.  From the World Tribune:
Iran has forced the United Arab Emirates […]

The answer is simple:  to defend the West from radical Islamists who are murdering innocent men, women, and children in an attempt to intimidate us into submission.  I have no hidden agenda, and I perhaps poorly expressed my reasons in the original post.  Jyllands-Posten published these cartoons precisely because they became aware that any criticism […]

A representative of the US State Department issued a statement essentially siding with Muslims protesting the publishing of the cartoons today:
"These cartoons are indeed offensive to the belief of Muslims," State Department spokesman Kurtis Cooper said in answer to a question.
"We all fully recognize and respect freedom of the press and expression but it must […]

The publishing of 12 cartoons by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten began a firestorm of controversy that is just growing with time.  A great clash of culture and religion between the West and Islam is now under way.  There are many in the West only too happy to surrender rights and freedom in the interest of […]

The EU and the Palestinians are a perfect match for each other, a true meeting of needs, interests, and common traits.  They are an unlikely match it is true, but that is common enough is it not?  And they fight and bicker a lot, but in the end they always come together with the EU […]

Courts in France have fined an elected Minister of Parliament for saying things they define as ‘hateful’, which is to say for saying things they don’t agree with.  The cold hard authoritarian hand of the police state which will not allow other political viewpoints to be expressed is tightening its grip on the nation, and […]

There’s a post over on the Brussels Journal by Hjörtur Guðmundsson laying claim to Iceland as a European nation.  At a minimum he says that it is geographically in Europe, and so therefor of course is European.  Apparently there are some trying to make the case that a nation must join the European Union to […]

Its an axiom of life that you can’t replace something with nothing.  You end up with a vacuum that must be filled by something.  I’m not the first and surely not the last to point out that the social and moral vacuum created by the intellectual Left after it successfully destroyed the ancient social structures, […]

The leaders of Europe are setting a course for the continent certain to accomplish two things:  1)  The unification of Europe into one state ruled by an authoritarian and unrepresentative elite; and 2)  The cultural suicide and depopulation of European peoples while replacing them with Muslim imports.  In the end the process will be complete […]

Events in recent years have shown the Atlantic Alliances to be fraying as the core threat that forced it together ended over 15 years ago.  It is not politic to speak of it because it would be considered rude given the now decades long history of brotherhood in alliance and the shared sense of purpose.  […]

There are many ways to structure the working of a democratic republic and there are dramatic differences between the methods generally used in the U.S. verses those in the Europe.  The U.S. uses a system called ‘Winner Takes All’ (WTA) where citizens vote on specific named candidates for office, and a candidate having a plurality/majority […]
