The owl and the policeman: Colorado cop catches adorable encounter with unfazed baby bird on body camera during stop on secluded mountain road
  • Video of a Colorado deputy's encounter with a curious, clicking baby owl delighted animal-lovers on Friday after authorities posted footage of the unusual meeting online.
  • The deputy was driving near the small town of Nederland when she and a colleague were stopped in their tracks by the young northern saw-whet owl, the Boulder County Sheriff's Office said.
  • 'Hi, what's up?' says the deputy in the footage as she approaches the small bird on a woodland road. Unfazed, the young owl clicks back in response.
  • 'After some curious head twisting (on both sides) it safely flew away,' the sheriff's office said in a statement on social media
  • The sheriff's office said the cute encounter took place in the area of Rainbow Lakes Campground, a few miles northwest of Nederland, but that it was not revealing the exact location in order to protect the owl's nest.

    ANGELA MERKEL'S REVENGE AGAINST DRESDEN FOR ITS ANTI-ISLAMIZATION CAMPAIGN - Stealth dumping of 2,000 Muslim migrants overnight into a downtown tent city - EU authorities admission of UNLIMITED number of MUSLIM MIGRANTS spells the END OF EUROPE, and may unleash RACE WARS ahead as indigenous Europeans begin to resist.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    On this page:

    • Unlimited Muslim immigration - a European Union recipe for disaster
    • Mass protests have been severely curtailed and proved useless, as governments don't listen
    • But resistance to imposition of migrants into EU towns grows nastier - some of it violent.
    • Anti-Islamization and anti-EU political parties are surging in the polls.
    • Stealth creation of refugee camps is the new EU way of forcing cities to accept thousands of migrants with possible jihadist background. 
    • Dresden March 2015 - Migrants set up camp and had to be removed due to violent reaction by residents. 
    • Dresden July 2015 -  Two thousand migrants were dumped near the Opera House overnight, with no prior notice.  A violent clash erupted, involving supporters of the migrants and extreme right wing protestors.  Read entire article.
    • Update:  clashes between pro-migrants and right wing protestors in Dresden.
    • Update:  blast damages pro-migration city councillor's car in Dresden.

    Dresden, once incinerated by Allied bombing, rose from the ashes to become a beautiful city once again. 






    Race wars ahead?
    Angela Merkel is not listening to her people. 
     
    What the German Chancellor is doing, along with pro-Muslim immigration EU authorities, is to set up the conditions for future race strife between indigenous Europeans and  inhabitants with roots in Africa and Asia. 
     
    Italy - Illegal Immigration Crisis in LampedusaZero notice:  2000 migrants dumped overnight into Dresden city park - by federal authorities.
     
    As they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and Europe's apparent attempt to make amends for its genocidal past by welcoming an unlimited number of Muslim migrants will backfire in ways that cannot even be imagined today. 
     
    Anti-Islamization attitudes are deepening in Europe, and citizens and city authorities are beginning to rebel.  What is now merely a murmur of polite disapproval and the occasional mass demonstration, may very well become violent resistance as Europeans wake up to what the EU has been doing to them. 

    We should not underestimate European savagery.  This continent is drenched with Jewish blood, and has a history of brutality going back many centuries, with its almost continuous factional, international, and religious wars.

    Two days ago:  Dresden citizens react to the dumping of 2000 migrants into the center of their city.  Some of the protesters belong to extreme right wing organizations.
     
    Anti-immigration political parties are making gains in local and national elections.  The NATIONAL FRONT in France has cleansed itself of its pro-Nazi nature to become a mainstream right wing party advocating limits to immigration, and an end to the European Union.  The result has been growing popularity and astonishing gains in the 2014 elections.   
    The FN party, led by Marine Le Pen, entered the senate for the first time, securing two seats
    Photo shows National Front's leader Marine Le Pen victorious after her party entered the French Senate for the first time and won two seats.  

    President Hollande has become the most unpopular French president in modern times, with only 13 per cent approval. 

    Many accuse him of  mismanagement by allowing extremists to flourish in the country, while unemployment is now at 3.4 million. 
     
    The National Front is now even talking of victory in the 2017 presidential elections, when Le Pen will stand as head of state.
     
    As disapproval of Muslim immigration and criminality continue to grow and take a nasty turn, Muslims will not meekly accept  violence or forced repatriation.  They will fight back.  They are already imposing themselves and their views on the indigenous cultures of Europe through intimidation and outright violence.

    In response to its defiance, Dresden is being punished with more migrants.
     
    There are hidden agendas driving pro-Muslim migration policies
    But of course, droves of migrants are not being allowed into Europe just out of compassion.  
     
    A business-driven agenda aims at profiting from cheap labor. 
     
    Left-wing political parties look to migrants as a source of votes.  (See article about a UK Labour Party insider exposing the hidden dark motives behind his party migration policy.)

    Others such as leftists, anarchists, and those loyal to foreign powers just want to destroy Europe and its values through demographics.
     
    Europe surrenders
    Until now the message has been one of complete surrender.  The evidence is starkly clear.  Those who want to save and defend the best of European culture are being harassed and tainted with the label of racism. 
     
    Nazi and Soviet shadows
    The role that Angela Merkel and EU bureaucrats are playing is suspect.  Merkel was a member of the Communist Party in East Germany, where she grew up. 
     
    East Germany was strongly pro-Palestinian and anti-Western.  It sheltered and even armed Palestinian terrorists who took hundreds of Jewish lives.  How much of that kind of Soviet indoctrination influences Merkel's stubborn support for UNLIMITED Muslim migration into Europe can only be left to speculation.
     
    European Muslims and their leftist supporters have picked up where the Nazis left off, as far as Jews are concerned
    Jews are being attacked and murdered in Europe once again, just for being Jews - mostly at the hands of Muslims. 

    In the meantime Europe's Nazi and Communist pasts are reflected in the European Union's obsessive harassment and boycott of Israel, and the EU determination to keep Israeli Jews confined to a coastal ghetto in Israel, while Biblical Israel, including Jerusalem, is regarded as Arab and under Jewish occupation. 

     

    Europeans either perpetrated or were complicit with the Holocaust.  They murdered 6 million Jews, and after the war they replaced them with over 50 million supremacist Muslims who refuse to assimilate.

    Not only that but they are forcibly imposing their backward traditions in their new home countries, and  have no interest to contribute positively to their new home (most of them are on benefits).

    With several cities and districts within cities already under their control (as No-Go Zones), they will eventually take over Europe by their sheer numbers and influence in one or two generations, while the indigenous European people and culture just fade away.

    Diversity - The new Muslim tradition of torching cars in Europe.
    Only 1,067 cars torched on 2015 New Year's Eve.  More in past years.

    Muslims keep on arriving to the shores of southern Europe in droves, and spreading all over the continent, making irreversible and fatal cultural and demographic changes - with the full cooperation and complicity of European Union authorities!   And those who dare to protest, face the ire of police and governments.
     
    DRESDEN in government's crosshairs:

    PEGIDA radicals attempt attack in front of Semperoper It's not the first time that authorities have allowed migrants to set up camps in the heart of this city, a center for anti-Islamization protests against the government. 

    Back in March 3, 2015, a Dresden asylum camp had to be cleared after a neo-Nazi attack. 

    The migrant camp had been set up in front of Dresden's Semperoper opera house.  Refugees and supporters moved just a day after radical PEGIDA members and neo-Nazis attempted to storm the site.

    In spite of such violent opposition, what are authorities trying to do by bringing in more migrants into the city AGAIN?

    Dresden residents Wake up to Find Overnight, City Park Has Been Turned Into Migrant Camp For 2,000


    The German city which dared to stand up to its government’s policy of accepting Islamization and massive MUSLIM immigration appears to have been punished for its dissent by the zero-notice imposition of a MUSLIM invader camp in a Dresden city park.
     
    Government employees stood by the entrance of a city park in Dresden, Saxony on Thursday night handing out fliers to passers-by informing them the next day the green space, which lies a short walk behind the city’s famous Semper Opera house was to be transformed into a ‘Muslim tent city’.
     
    Dresden-Day
     
    In reality, a Breitbart source in the city said, the first most people knew about the plan was when a convoy of lorries and construction equipment rolled in to begin work.

    FAROE ISLANDS SADISTIC BLOOD ORGY AS INHABITANTS TRAP AND GLEEFULLY HACK AND STAB HUNDREDS OF WHALES TO DEATH FOR FUN - This savagery takes place every year in civilized Europe - Faroe Islands are located between Norway and Iceland, and are part of the Kingdom of Denmark

    Slaughter turns the sea red with blood: Horrifying scenes as fishermen chase 250 whales onto a beach in the Faroe Islands and locals leap into the water with glee to stab them to death.
  • WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
  • The brutal slaughtering of pilots whales took place at Bøur and Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands
  • Locals dressed in wetsuits wade into the water, and use knifes and harpoons to hack all the whales to death
  • Close footage shows some of the huntsmen laughing and smiling, droplets of blood dripping down from their sweaty brows. 
  • Danish Navy ships were nearby to protect the massacre operation from protesters of the Sea Shepherd Society as evidence of Denmark's collaboration with this inhumane act.
  • Although whaling is illegal in Denmark, the annual hunt, known as the grindadráp, is allowed in the Faroe Islands
  • The Faroes Islands are an independent country within the kingdom of Denmark.

  • Witnesses: Slain on the beaches, hundreds of locals come down to watch the brutal slaughter
    The annual fun of massacring whales.  Faroes Islands inhabitants enjoy their much awaited orgy of cruelty and violence against defenseless and innocent animals.

    Their bodies lie beached on the dark shore, large slash marks penetrate the neck and sides of the whale as the blood mixes with the cold water.
     
    Known as the grindadráp, the brutal slaughtering of pilots whales in the Danish owned Faroe Islands took place on July 23.
     
    As many as 250 whales were reportedly massacred on two beaches in Bøur and Tórshavn as locals used harpoons and knifes to hack the all of the pilot whales to death.
     
    Contemplating: Local Faroese men reflect in the bloodstained water after the horrendous hunt, which is known as the grindadráp
    Northern Europeans, all of them.  This is not happening in some place away from civilization, or because of a religious ritual excuse. 

    This is done by Europeans for the sheer SADISTIC fun of making captured animals suffer by killing them in the most gruesome manner.  

    Shame!  Shame on all of them, the perpetrators and the spectators.  And shame on Denmark for condoning and protecting this brutal yearly massacre of animals that never hurt anyone.

    INNOCENT LOOKING PLANTS MURDER INSECTS TO FEED OTHER BUGS FOR PROTECTION

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    By Elizabeth Preston
    
    It’s not only carnivorous plants that bugs have to watch out for. Sure, if an ant tumbles into a pitcher plant or a spider stands in the open maw of a Venus flytrap, we know what’s coming next.
     
    But certain innocent-looking plants — perhaps very many of them, even including ones in your own yard — murder hosts of insects that they have no plans to eat.
     
    They lure passing bugs into a slow death, then exchange their corpses with other insects for protection.  
     
    One of these plants is the serpentine columbine, or Aquilegia eximia (image on the left). Native to California, it grows downward-hanging blossoms in fiery hues.
     
    The plant is covered all over in fine hairs, or trichomes, each with a gluey droplet at its tip.  Like flypaper, these sticky plants ensnare many of the tiny creatures that are unfortunate enough to land there.
     
    By June, a single stem of serpentine columbine may hold the corpses of hundreds of bugs, write UC Davis graduate student Eric LoPresti and his coauthors.

    Image by Eric LoPresti
    These bugs have been called “tourists” because they don’t live on the plant or need to be there; they’re just making an ill-fated visit. (This makes the sticky plant, the authors note, an actual “tourist trap.” Ahem.)
     
    These adhesive death traps are common in the plant world.   Scientists have noticed that the corpse-covered plants can attract other, predatory insects that are looking for food.
     
    And while they’re in the neighborhood, these predators might eat some of the plant’s pests—critters that haven’t gotten caught in the flypaper but are happily munching on the their host’s leaves and flowers.   One study of a sticky daisy found that these predators were helpful to the plant.
     
    But have the plants engineered the whole thing? Or is bedazzling themselves with bug bodies just a happy accident?

    IS THE ALLEGED "ANCIENT" KORAN FOUND BY BRITISH UNIVERSITY A FABRICATION? - The account about its origins and authenticity is riddled with questions that the media does not want to answer.

    The BBC Really Wants You to Believe
    the Qur’an Is Authentic

    Islam desperate for legitimacy, and the left desperate to grant it, at all costs, no questions asked.
    By Robert Spencer
     
    The BBC announced enthusiastically Wednesday that “what may be the world’s oldest fragments of the Koran have been found by the University of Birmingham.” This news is not only of interest to scholars and Muslim intellectuals; it appears to buttress the Islamic claim that the Qur’an’s text has remained unchanged for 1,400 years – which is purported to be proof of its divine origin.
     
    There is only one problem with all this: the BBC article raises more questions than it answers, and reveals more about the wishful thinking of the academic and media establishments than it does about the Qur’an.
     
    The article is riddled with academic and journalistic sloppiness. We’re told that the radiocarbon dating shows, “with a probability of more than 95%, the parchment was from between 568 and 645.”
     
    Very well, but does the ink date to that time as well? We are not told. Parchment was often reused in the ancient world, with the earlier text erased and written over, and so if a parchment dates from 645, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the text does.

    ISIS HAS INFILTRATED EGYPT'S SPECIAL FORCES - ISIS aims to control northern SINAI and to liquidate Egyptian president El Sisi - OBAMA has refused to help El Sisi in retaliation for his fight against the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, a White House ally - ISIS is said to be in alliance with GAZA rulers HAMAS - ISRAEL ceded Sinai and Gaza for "peace". Same fate awaits the State of Palestine.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Israel was made to surrender Sinai for "peace" - the first chapter of the Peace Hoax.  Now Sinai is a hotbed for jihadists of all persuasions, and ISIS is growing in power and influence in the area, slaughtering dozens of Egyptians soldiers in recurrent acts of terror. 
     
    The world's obsession with removing Israel's control over territories has been fatal.  It invariably leads to terror, bloodshed and political turmoil.  Gaza is another example. 
     
    Now the European Union is ratcheting up its boycott of Israel in order to force the country to cede ancient Jewish land to create a tinderbox terrorist entity named the State of Palestine.
     
    It is quietly acknowledged that that the State of Palestine will eventually fall under the control of ISIS, or become a satellite of Iran.
     
    ISIS cell posing for photograph in Gaza.
     
    Key points 
    • There are reports of defections from Egypt's Special Forces to ISIS.
    • The White House is not helping Egypt in retaliation for president El Sisi toppling the Muslim Brotherhood regime of former president Morsi.
    • Obama Refused to Assist Jordan, Egypt With Information on ISIS Targets 
    • Obama secretly backing Muslim Brotherhood.  Document outlining this policy is kept out of Freedom of Information access.
    • Ongoing collaboration between the White House and the Muslim Brotherhood, with some of its members holding top advisory positions in the US administration.  (Read list of names further down this page.)
    • Analyst says Egypt is losing its war against ISIS.
    • ISIS is said to have made a pact with Gaza rulers Hamas for the takeover of northern SINAI and the toppling of president El Sisi.
    • From time to time there are contradictory reports over whether Gaza rulers Hamas and ISIS are collaborating or not.
    • Allegiances are brittle in the Middle East, so anything and everything is possible.
    • There are already ISIS cells in Gaza.  ISIS may eventually take control of Gaza, and of the West Bank, were Israel to cede it "for peace". 

    Exclusive by DebkaFile:

    ISIS infiltrates Egyptian special forces, joins with Hamas to occupy N. Sinai, liquidate Sisi

    Islamic State affiliates in Sinai and Libya have banded together with the Palestinian Hamas rulers of the Gaza Strip for the shared goals of capturing northern Sinai from the Egyptian army and staging an assassination coup against President Abdel-Fatteh El-Sisi, debkafile’s exclusive military and intelligence sources report.

    • Drowning can occur many hours after a person has inhaled water.
    • Anytime a child or adult inhales even a small gush of water it can irritate the lungs and cause swelling.
    • That small amount of liquid is enough to hinder the lungs' ability to provide oxygen to the bloodstream.
    • A not insignificant number of the victims are children who died after having a bath.

    Boy Dies Of Dry Drowning
    After Leaving Pool And Walking Home

    Johnny Jackson, a 10-year-old American boy from South Carolina, died at home on Sunday from "dry drowning" more than an hour after going swimming and walking home with his mother.   The sad event highlights a little known danger that parents and child carers should be aware of, that drowning can kill hours after being submersed in water.

    Key points 
    • It's not just a nuclear war we should fear in the Middle East.  Iran is in a geological unstable area prone to severe earthquakes, which could cause a nuclear accident.
    • There is also the possibility of a takeover by the most deranged fringes of Islam, such as ISIS, which would not hesitate to use nuclear weapons against the West or ME neighbors. 
    • And the ever present threat of rogue Muslim groups acquiring nuclear weapons through purchase or theft.  The more countries with nukes, the greater the danger.
    • On the following article read how the head of state-affiliated Saudi TV channel reveals that Saudi Arabia will 'seriously try to get' nuclear weapons following the Iran deal.
    • Saudi Arabia has signed nuclear deals with France, Russia and South Korea in preparation of building its own nuclear facilities.
    • The fact that Iran won't allow inspectors at its military facilities set a precedent for Saudi Arabia and other countries interested in developing nuclear weapons.
    • Acknowledging the spread of nuclear weapons in the Middle East John Kerry offered the Saudis protection under a US nuclear umbrella.   This offer does not carry much weight considering the ever shrinking US government credibility and influence in the Middle East. 
    • Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shi'ite Iran have long been key rivals vying for influence in the region.
    • Further on this page read "Obama's Age of Nuclear Chaos", an analysis by Caroline Glick, Jerusalem Post's Managing Editor. 
    • UPDATE - July 22:  OBAMA NEGOTIATED AT LEAST TWO SECRET DEALS WITH IRAN which he will not reveal to the American public, Congress or other nations, according to Senator Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) and Congressmen Mike Pompeo (R., Kan.) - Read more further down this page

    While US President Barack Obama claimed he prevented a nuclear arms race in the Middle East when he presented the Iran deal last Tuesday, a key source in Saudi Arabia laid bare that claim by expressing the country's sense of urgency to acquire its own nuclear weapon.
