There’s a new film called CITIZEN VIGILANTE, and it’s already banned in Germany. Why?

The premise of the film is centered on illegals taking over Europe and causing the horrors they do. You know the list.

One man has had enough, starts taking matters into his own hands as citizens deem him a modern day hero for offering the protection governments will not.

So with the banning, the biggest name in social media, Elon Musk, just posted the film on X for free. The opening scene is so very real, so very powerful. It’s a matter of time before the fiction becomes real,

La excelente serie israelí *Fauda* dio un paso importante y revelador al decidir dedicar, en su nueva temporada, dos episodios de difícil visionado a las acciones del equipo durante la masacre del 7 de octubre. Son episodios que actúan como detonante emocional, con imágenes crudas basadas en la realidad. Cabe recordar que, en este caso, la realidad supera cualquier ficción...

Es una labor de concienciación extraordinaria dirigida a todo el mundo —tanto a Occidente como al mundo árabe, donde muchos siguen la serie— sobre cómo Hamás perpetró masacres, secuestros y violaciones aquel mismo día. Cómo abusaron de las víctimas. Cómo asesinaron a judíos y árabes a sangre fría y de manera atroz.

He visto que también hay críticas en internet, pero cualquier forma de preservar la memoria del 7 de octubre es crucial en un momento en que el mundo ha pasado página y niega lo sucedido.

Existen tantas series y películas antiisraelíes que presentan una narrativa distorsionada, mienten y tergiversan la realidad en contra de Israel... Por fin llega una serie internacional que muestra la verdadera versión de la historia, nuestra versión; y, sinceramente, por muy terribles que sean esos dos episodios, no reflejan ni una fracción de lo que realmente ocurrió allí. Pero, al menos, el mundo no podrá cerrar los ojos.

¡Felicitaciones a los creadores de *Fauda* por esta iniciativa!

My documentary on the Islamification of Birmingham has been demonetized on YouTube after reaching 600,000 views. So here is the entire video on X.

In the video, I'm told that it's okay to strike your wife if she's disobeying you. I'm told that I would have to leave the grocery store and go to the city center in order to be able to find a white person. I'm told that all women in the UK who cheat should be executed.

Thank you to @elonmusk for commenting on this video and allowing this content to be on X. If it weren't for X I genuinely think the west would have reached the point of no return already.

History of slavery in the Muslim world

In his book, "Slaves and Slavery", Duncan Clarke defines slavery as “the reduction of fellow human beings to the legal status of chattels,

The word ‘slave’ and its cognates in most modern European languages is derived from ‘sclavus’ meaning ‘slav’, the ethnic name for the inhabitants of the coast of Bosnia on the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea.

For the Islamic world, Slavs provided the major source of slaves in the 250 or so years between the defeat at the battle of Poitiers in AD 732 that forced the consolidation of their dramatic conquests across North Africa and the Iberian peninsula, cutting back the flow of war captives and the expansion of the import of black Africans across the Sahara.

Paul Lovejoy estimates that some 9.85 million Africans were shipped out as slaves to Arabia and, in small numbers, to the Indian subcontinent as follows.

Between AD 650 and 1600, an average of 5,000 Africans were shipped out by the Arabs annually. This makes a rough total of 7.25 million.

Then, between 1600 and 1800, another 1.4 million Africans were shipped out by the Arabs. The 19th century represented the highest point of the Arabian trade where 12,000 Africans were shipped out every year. The total figure for the 19th century alone was 1.2 million slaves to Arabia.

David Livingstone, the British missionary/traveller/explorer was so upset by the way the Arabs treated their African slaves that he wrote back home in 1870:

“In less than it takes to talk about it, these unfortunate creatures — 84 of them, wended their way into the village where we were. Some of them, the eldest, were women from 20 to 22 years of age, and there were youths from 18 to 19, but the large majority was made up of boys and girls from 7 years to 14 or 15 years of age.

“Each of them had his neck in a large forked stick, weighing from 30 to 40 pounds, and five or six feet long, cut with a fork at the end of it where the branches of a tree spread out.

“The women were tethered with bark thongs, which are, of all things, the most cruel to be tied with. Of course, they are soft and supple when first striped off the trees, but a few hours in the sun make them about as hard as the iron round packing cases.

The little children were fastened by thongs to their mothers. “As we passed along the path which these slaves had travelled, I was shown a spot in the bushes where a poor woman the day before, unable to keep on the march, and likely to hinder it, was cut down by the axe of one of these slave drivers.

“We went on further and were shown a place where a child lay. It had been recently born, and its mother was unable to carry it from debility and exhaustion; so the slave trader had taken this little infant by its feet and dashed its brains out against one of the trees.

“For various reasons, including the harshness of the terrain and endemic warfare among local clans, Bosnia proved the most convenient and long-lasting of these slave-supplying regions.

Whichever clan gained a temporary upper hand was always willing to sell its captured rivals in exchange for the goods of the Mediterranean world in the markets of the ancient Romanised city of Ragusa (present-day Dubrovnik). From there, Slavs were shipped as slaves by Venetian merchants, to supply new markets in the Islamic world.”

The trade in slaves ended when the Ottoman Turks conquered the region in 1463. “The effective closure of the last major source of slaves on the European continent,” says Clarke, “thus co-incidentally took place at the same time as the Portuguese explorations of the West African coast which were to open up the second and most devastating route for the exploitation of Africans as slaves.”

Such was the brutality meted out to the Africans by the Arabs. Like the Atlantic trade, the Arabian trade’s “middle passage” was equally as horrible and terrifying. The “middle passage” describes the harrowing journey lasting several months from Africa’s west coast to the Americas during which millions of Africans, packed like sardines in the slave ships, died of thirst, hunger, rough seas, and sometimes from the sheer brutality inflicted by the European slavers.

In the Arabian trade, the trudge across the Sahara, in leg and neck chains, and as Livingstone describes above, necks in large forked sticks and hands tied with bark thongs, was particularly harsh on the African slaves.

The Arab slavers did not only march their African captives to Arabia, they also sometimes sold them to European slavers.

In modern times, the popular image of African slavery springs from the vision of a tormented male suffering under the lash of unceasing labour on some “New World” sugar plantation.

Yet the real face of servitude finds its focus in the forced migration of millions of girls and young women across the Sahara and the Horn of Africa into the institutions of Islamic concubinage.

Why they preferred women?

While in the European “New World ”, the measure of a man’s stature was mapped out and calibrated on the physical dimensions of an empire built upon the sinews of forced masculine labour.

In the Islamic Orient wealth was a reflection of prestige, young girls were the vessels of males' hubris, the mats of male pleasure ground, the malleable material to be shaped to the master’s will.

Thus, women slaves in the Arab world were often turned into concubines living in harems, and rarely as wives, their children becoming free.

A large number of male slaves and young boys were castrated and turned into eunuchs who kept watch over the harems.

Castration was a particularly brutal operation with a survival rate of only 10%.

“The combined effect of all these factors,” says Duncan Clarke, “was a steady demand for slaves throughout the Islamic world, which had a cover story to be met from wars, raids, or purchases along the borders with non-Islamic regions.

Although some of these slaves came from Russia, the Balkans, and central Asia, the continuing expansion of Islamic regimes in sub-Saharan Africa made black Africans, the major source.”

So invasive was the practice of slavery into the economic, political, demographic, cultural, social, and religious life of Africa and persisted for so many centuries, that while its effects varied both geographically and temporally in intensity, slavery out-distances in scale and scope any single or combination of disasters — natural or man-made, which descended upon the continent.

Slavery unquestionably checked population growth in Africa and consequentially placed tremendous pressure on gender and marital relationships during the three critical centuries of European expansion to global domination.

In this sense, the feminine-oriented Arab slave trade, though neither motivated nor executed with economic benefits as the prime objective, caused far greater demographic damage and consequently greater economic decline, with its excessive poaching of the reproductive potential of the harvested areas.

The Arab slave trade began long before the Islamic conquest of Africa, remained at a relatively low level compared to the Atlantic slave trade did not become illegal or abolished, and was maintained till well after the colonization of Africa.

The Arabian trade was outlawed in Ethiopia only in 1935 in order to gain international support against the Italian invasion.

In the Atlantic trade, the slaves came predominantly from Africa’s west coast with a male/female ratio of two-to-one.

In the Arabian trade, the slaves were exclusively from the Savannah and the Horn of Africa and favoured females over males at a ratio nearing three-to-one.

When slavery in the Black Sea area (the traditional source of the best-grade female slaves for the Arab market) dried up, it triggered an even greater demand for Ethiopian “red” slaves, in particular the Galla and Oromo on account of their unquestioned beauty and willing sexual temperament.

While the Europeans paid a higher price for male slaves than females, the reverse was the case with the Arabs.

Moreover, while the European/New World slavers profited mainly from male labour, the Arabs saw profit in sexual satisfaction/reproductive potential. (The offspring of the union between Islamic master and female slave was born free, out of respect of the child’s Islamic paternity. Any offspring of the Atlantic trade were born into slavery).

“The laws of Islam,” as the historian Hugh Thomas attests, “were in some ways more benign in respect of slavery than were those of Rome.

Slaves were not to be treated as if they were animals. Slaves and freemen were equal from the point of view of God. The master did not have power of life and death over his slave property.”

But to the Africans shipped across the Red Sea, the “benign” Islamic laws provided little comfort — they were still slaves of Islamic masters who had unfettered sexual access to them (if they were female) or castrated and turned into eunuchs (if they were men).

The upshot of this gender profile of the respective slave-classes in the Atlantic/New World and the Arab/Oriental world explains the large and visible population of African origin in the New World where sexual relations between white and black was the exception while in the Arab world where miscegenation was the practice, the slave trade has left few visible traces.

Five years ago, a British TV documentary showed how poorly the descendants of African slaves in Pakistan were treated by the authorities.

The racial discrimination was so bad that one of the African descendants recounted on camera how, even in sports, they were not picked to represent Pakistan at national and international levels no matter how good they were.

The Arab slave trade began long before the Islamic conquest of Africa, remained at a relatively low level compared to the Atlantic slave trade did not become illegal or abolished, and was maintained till well after the colonisation of Africa.

Deprived of ideology, ritual, and the African rite of passage to adulthood and social membership, female slaves were uncommonly vulnerable to conversion to Islam (the benefits of manumission aside). Manumission describes a child born of a female slave and a free Islamic father is thus born free.

Even to this day, Arab slave traders are still at work in Sudan and Mauritania, buying and selling black Africans.

Dries Van Langenhove (na zdjęciu), belgijski polityk, został właśnie drugi raz skazany za "naruszenie przepisów dotyczących rasizmu".

Chłop w swoich wypowiedziach, które znalazły się pod lupą sądu, ani razu nie skłamał. Nie przedstawił też żadnej fałszywej informacji. Operował wyłącznie na twardych faktach i ustaleniach nauki. Mimo to został skazany.

W uzasadnieniu wyroku sędzia powiedział, cytuję:

"Van Langenhove nie jest oskarżony o rozpowszechnianie dezinformacji. Postawiono mu zarzut prezentowania faktów w sposób nawołujący do nienawiści wobec osób ze względu na jedną lub więcej cech objętych ochroną na mocy ustawy antyrasistowskiej."

Tłumacząc z nowomowy na normalny język:

"Van Langenhove mówi prawdę, ale prawda jest dla mnie niewygodna z powodów ideologicznych, więc go skazuję, bo tak i chuj."

In a deeply karmic twist, 10 flotilla activists have now been missing for about 50 hours in Libya.
A land convoy from the Global Sumud group tried to reach Gaza overland through Libya. While the broader convoy (hundreds of others) faced forced evacuation, clashes, and tear gas, these 10 pushed ahead for “negotiations” and were detained by Khalifa Haftar’s Libyan Arab Armed Forces near Sirte.
Libya isn’t a Western activist playground with cameras and PR optics. They’re now in the hands of a militia faction that doesn’t do due process or media theatre. This isn’t Israel.
There have been no verified updates on their location, condition, or release timeline. No global screams of “kidnapping.” Just silence.
These people are genuinely at risk in Libya. They were never at risk in Israel.
When does the world start demanding their release?
