Rome fell when taken by the barbarians; the capital of the failed EU empire has already fallen.

Welcome to the Hell Hole that is Brussels
by Drieu Godefridi, December 9, 2017:

- Last month alone in Brussels, there were three separate outbreaks of rioting and looting on a major scale.
- If you penetrate the thick cloud of professional indignation to scrutinize the reality of the “capital of Europe”, what you see in many respects is actually a hell hole, one where socialism, Islamism, riots and looting are the new normal.
When then-candidate Donald Trump noted in January 2016 that, thanks to mass immigration, Brussels was turning into a hell hole, Belgian and European politicians presented a united front at the (media) barricades: How dare he say such a thing? Brussels, capital of the European Union, the very quintessence of the post-modern world, the avant-garde of the coming new “global civilization,” a hell hole? Of course assimilating newcomers is not always easy, and there may be friction from time to time. But never mind, they said: Trump is a buffoon, and anyway, he has zero chance of getting elected. Such were the thoughts of those avid readers of The New York Times International Edition and regular watchers of CNN International.
However, Donald Trump, in his unmistakable, brash style, was quite simply right: Brussels is rapidly descending into chaos and anarchy. Exactly two months after that dramatic Trumpism, Brussels was eviscerated by a horrific Islamic terror attack that left 32 people dead. And that was only the tip of the monstrous iceberg that has built up over three decades of mass immigration and socialist madness.
Last month alone in Brussels, there were three separate outbreaks of rioting and looting on a major scale.
Riot police, backed by a water cannon, attempt to push back rioters in the center of Brussels, Belgium, on November 12. Hundreds of “youths” of foreign origin “celebrated” the World Cup qualification of Morocco’s soccer team by rioting and injuring 22 police officers. (Image source: Ruptly video screenshot)

(Image source: Ruptly video screenshot)Three days later, a social media rap music star nicknamed “Vargasss 92,” who is a French citizen of foreign origin, decided to organize another unauthorized “celebration” in the center of Brussels, which quickly turned into another riot. Again, shops were destroyed and people assaulted for no other reason than being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Short clips of the event streamed onto the social networks, showing the world (and Belgians) the true face of Brussels without the politicians’ makeover. No wonder the European political elite hate social media from the depths of their hearts; they prefer the sanitized (and, in both France and francophone Belgium, heavily subsidized) traditional press.
Finally, on November 25, the socialist authorities in charge of the City of Brussels had the bright idea of authorizing a demonstration against slavery in Libya, which quickly descended into yet another riot: shops were destroyed, cars set on fire, 71 people arrested.
This lawlessness, with not even the remotest political justification, is the new normal in Brussels. Politicians may not like that fact, which is the result of their lamentable failure, but it is nonetheless a massive and unavoidable fact. The new Brussels is characterized by riots and looting by people of foreign origin, as well as the ongoing heavily-armed military presence in the streets of Brussels, in place since March 22, 2016, the day that European Islamists murdered 32 and wounded 340 people in the worst-ever terrorist attack in Belgium.
One may wonder why these fine Belgian soldiers patrolling the streets do nothing to stop the rioters. For the simple reason that it is outside of their remit; should a soldier actually hurt a looter, he would probably be publicly chastised, pilloried by the media, put on trial and dishonorably discharged.

This impression of Brussels is largely correct, and in common with other “enriched” towns and cities across Western Europe and America where Muslims are now a disturbing and unwelcome reality – socialist {Democrat} run.
In too many cases this is the common thread, the one feeds and depends upon the other.
Now on this site and many others, sometimes the question is posed “how do you check Islamification” in countries with a rising demographic, well today I realised there is one thing all readers can try because it’s the soft edge and the minimum remedy that opponents will find very hard to counter without looking extreme.
Display your Judaeo Christian culture in the streets, pedestrian precincts and other places where people gather
during these last weeks before Christmas. Nativity Scenes – Male and female Choirs singing Carols – Fine Art of a Christian theme – recorded Christian choirs singing carols – Gregorian Chant – flash mobs playing our classical Christmas music or performing Christmas themed mime shows, the options seem limited only by imagination.
To me, this is the one thing that will drive the left crazy – despite years of multi – culti bullying, people coming back with seasonal displays of confidence as a policy of visible rejection.
For too long, we’ve been ordered to “not offend Muslims” by displays of our culture, well it’s a fact that when you silence your culture, making it vanish, you remove that which others are supposed to integrate into, SO, bring it back. What can they do, blame us for being “inclusive and moderate” ?

One thing you left out, if you go out and “display your Judaeo-Christians culture in the streets, pedestrian precincts and other places where people gather during these last weeks before Christmas. Nativity Scenes – Male and female Choirs singing Carols..” etc, etc, you had better go out armed in one way or another and be prepared to fight, the Muslims and left are going to confront you violently. That said, yes, they Muslims and left need to be challenged and if necessary severely beaten up.

The disconcerting conclusions that must be discussed from this article by Pamela is how and what needs to be done to keep this phenomenon from spreading , especially to the U.S.A. Clearly, these foreigners who have emigrated from societies that are radically different from those that have heretofore existed in the free world are bringing with them a code of conduct and a belief system that does not readily enable these people to assimilate. Religion is a personal leap of faith. Freedom to practice one’s religion at one’s home and places of worship are sacrosanct, but when the believers practice their religion publicly, and some justify acts of terror as being consistent with their faith, the free world faces a serious problem as we see happening almost daily in Europe. The kind of belief system that composes Islam is foreign to the free world. We who live in the free world must understand that. Our leaders failure to recognize that reality and deal with it appropriately will be disastrous. If moderates exist in Islam, and they reject the public presentation of their religion, as well as the tenants of Islam that claim dominance and superiority over other belief systems or those who do not believe, these people need to come forward and actively speak out and change the direction of their now dangerously practiced faith. The ability to change must come from the hands of the moderate believers. They control their own fate. If they do nothing, the result may only be to send these people back to live with their own kind, in order to avoid calamities within the free world.

There are now far too many in Europe to be “sent back to live with people their own kind” and their birthrate is several times higher than that of western nations. They have openly stated their intention that Islam will take over the world via the wombs of their women, but leftists are not listening. No, leftists have decided that the stated intent cannot possibly be true, the Muslims couldn’t possibly mean it, they’re just like us after all.
I don’t think the penny will drop until the knife is at the throat. And even then, they’ll believe “but this is only one person…”

No point in wasting time and effort on places like belgium, they doin’t want to help themselves, they cannot be helped. The sooner muslims destroy the country, the sooner the rest of western europe will see its fate. It won’t do anything to prevent it, but it will demonstrate for history, that socialism is a failure.

How can people become so warped as to allow this kinda thing. But they have in euorpe and we see it in the USA . It’s like Satan has control of them and is leading them down the path of destruction. And they are trying to drag as many of the rest of us as they can with them.

Criminals have a penchant for going after the lightly defended, or even better, the undefended. They won’t attack well defended and dangerously powerful places such as gun shows for the simple reason that they know they’d be blown away in a heartbeat. This is the danger in letting your politicians strip your military of its power to defend, the citizens their RIGHT to defend and businesses their obligation to protect their establishments. It is far better to put politicians behind bars than to allow politicians put you in chains.

In Philadelphia (Filthydelphia) a law has passed that businesses cannot, yes, CANNOT have bulletproof glass or bulletproof plastic composite windows on their places of business…this also applies to anywhere Inside the shops. I guess the robbery and holdup “Communities” were “Offended.”

“Molon labe” means come take them. And I’d tell the authorities that if they attempted to take away the protection of my property, even if a business, it would be in violation of the unlawful search and seizure clause of the Bill of Rights. The clause is the fourth amendment, which states that the people have a right to be secure in their homes, persons, papers and effects. And in the 18th century, “effects” would also mean businesses. The government is attempting to take away your right to be secure, and this needs to be stopped.

Give thanks to those know-it-all European politicians who so very stupid and so very ignorant, by allowing Muslims in Europe. They do not know how to have an open mind to understand the evilness of Islam. It is very sad to say that Europe will become an Islamic continent, because of those very snobby European politicians.

How to STOP this from happening in the U.S.??? Determine what the politicians are doing in your state and the laws they pass and the Bills they support. For many decades now, Obummer and his network of other other politicians have supported and integrated laws that take away our freedoms and actually support treasonous acts and behavior. They ALLOW refugees, many of which are Muslims, into our country, and Muslims NEVER INTEGRATE. They are committed to SHARIA LAW, not U.S. Constitutional Laws. Any non-muslim is an infidel and is treated like one. The politicians in Brussels and other Capitols thought they were being benevolent in allowing Muslims to immigrate. But Muslims have only one goal—-to dominate the world and force everyone else to SUBMIT to them. They are creating chaos and destruction to tear down existing societies and culture. And they are here in the U.S. trying to do the same thing.
