Hit the Road, Jacques

~ Clarissa

On one of my Uber rides here in Canada, the driver spent the entire ride listening on loudspeaker to a woman going about her day. She was doing the dishes, coughing, breathing, humming a tune, walking. She was clearly alone. I have no idea if she knew that he was spying on her.

I was transporting my mother from her first immunotherapy round (hence the Uber) and didn’t want any aggravation but we were both very creeped out.

Who can guess what the driver’s name was and why it wasn’t either Jack or Jacques?

        1. I was in a math class taught by Mr. Abdulali, and he told us to remember his name by seeing it in two parts, which would mean “servant of Ali”. (Too close for Google to adjudicate!)

  3. Well, the West killed each other over religious differences for more than two centuries. But the Muslims have been killing each other, as well as ourselves, for more than 17 centuries, so perhaps, just perhaps, it would be completely assinine to bring members of their religious arguments into the West ;-D

      How Israel Created the European Refugee Crisis

      The US/Israeli orchestrated fall of Qaddafi in 2011 opened up a major route for refugees from the Middle-East and Africa to flow into Europe. According to the Washington Post 400,000 migrants from the Middle-East and Africa flowed into Italy from Libya between 2014 and 2017 due to the overthrow of Qaddafi.

      Israel and Jewish-run NGOs in the West are the main facilitators of the movement and resettlement of Syrian, Iranian, Iraqi and Afghani refugees in Europe. All four countries have been destabilized through war and sanctions by Israel and the US. IsraAID, the Israeli refugee agency, has operated the refugee centers on the Greek Island of Lesbos since 2015.

      In 2018 Merkel presented IsraAID with an award for their work on integrating Arabic speakers into Germany. On their website, IsraAID boasts of the extensive programs they have set up in Germany to facilitate the integration of refugees, while leaving out any mention of the Jewish state’s responsibility for the crisis in the first place.

      Any nervousness expressed by Jews over the influx of foreigners into Europe has revolved solely around the potential negative impact on European Jews. The negative impact on native Europeans is only considered through the danger, from the Jewish perspective, of galvanizing nationalist opposition.

      In a paper for the liberal Brookings Institution in 2015 Daniel Byman, professor of Jewish Civilization at Georgetown University in Washington DC, said that the solution to this problem was long term integration of the refugee populations in Europe.

      Evil people.

    3. The money shot:

      Nationalists in America and Europe must confront this reality head on. We must resist calls from shills and right wing Jewish organizations that try to use resentment of Islam created by the migrant crisis to whip up support for Zionist aggression against the Syrian, Iranian and Palestinian people. Such conflicts will only result in more misery and more refugees flowing into Europe, where Israeli and Jewish NGOs will be waiting to welcome them, using the language of humanitarianism to turn the West into a dumping ground for people displaced by Jewish wars.

      Leftists will do what they have to do, but so-called right-wingers supporting israel is so stupid it makes my head hurt. Like, you’re literally supporting the destruction of your nations.
