"Something like this by China will definitely be seen as a provocative move not just by the United States but all the countries in the region."

Beijing claims nearly all of the South China Sea, including small islands that are hundreds of kilometres from its southern coast.

Four countries in South-East Asia have unresolved territorial disputes with China over the South China Sea, which has important shipping lanes and potential oil and other natural resources.

In January, a US warship sailed into the area of sea containing the Paracel Islands group.

China has deployed an advanced surface-to-air missile system to one of the disputed islands it controls in the South China Sea, officials in the US and Taiwan said.

Taiwan defence ministry spokesman Major General David Lo told the Reuters news agency on Wednesday that the missile batteries had been set up on Woody Island, part of the Paracels chain, which is under Chinese control but also claimed by Taiwan and Vietnam.

"Interested parties should work together to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea region and refrain from taking any unilateral measures that would increase tensions," Lo said on Wednesday.

A US military official also confirmed the "apparent deployment" of the missiles, first reported by Fox News.

Images from civilian satellite company ImageSat International show two batteries of eight surface-to-air missile launchers as well as a radar system, according to Fox.

There will be some general reading guides put up.

If you want to recommend a book that is already within them then provide a 1 sentence main point summary and another sentence explaining what category you would put it to for example.
"The fate of Empires discusses the cycle that all major empires have so far cycled through, but it may not have to be so. This is recommended reading for those still believing that in the modern age we are totally unlike our forebears."

If you are putting up a general book guide then please label it in some way so that if there are two similar guides we can easily discern why they differ.

For discussions beyond brief summaries please make a new thread.

A Rhode Island school says it won’t accept or enroll transgender students.

>Catholic Rhode Island private school Mount Saint Charles Academy is open to everyone—so long as they’re not transgender.

>The latest edition of the Woonsocket school’s parent-student handbook states flatly and without further explanation: “Mount Saint Charles Academy is unable to make accommodations for transgender students. Therefore, MSC does not accept transgender students nor is MSC able to continue to enroll students who identify as transgender.”

>There are no stated exclusions based on race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or any other factor—only transgender status.

>The change was implemented in October 2015 but concerned alumni only noticed it recently, GoLocalProv reported. David Coletta, who graduated from MSC in 2009, created a Change.org petition to ask the school to “leave the hateful rhetoric in the past [and] accept trans students.”

>Coletta told The Daily Beast that the MSC he knew would never ban transgender students and that the current policy “goes against their own teachings.”

>“It’s completely different than how they teach their students to behave,” he said. “We were always taught there to be very accepting and loving of others.”

Ukrainians are already fighting off Russians, now they are being swarmed by mohammedismic invaders too

“I am tormented by one question: will our government give all displaced persons from [the ongoing Donbass war in Ukraine] free housing?” asked Xenya Yakushko, a local journalist.

“Why has government, instead of giving shelter to Ukrainians, begun suddenly bringing in 250 totally foreign people? Has the war ended?” […] “and how much do we benefit from the Syrian refugees?”

Despite the Donbass war and the concerned citizens, the Ukraine government has decided to go along with the EU’s “resettlement” agenda.

If these really are Syrians who are fleeing a war-zone, surely the Ukraine would not be the best place for them with the Donbass war still ongoing? Especially considering the area the immigrant center is in sees armed conflict.

The reason why the EU refused to enforce border laws from the very start is because they wanted the Africans and Middle Easterners in Europe, whether legal or illegal.

What made the attacks in Cologne different was that the shellshocked police force claimed the attack was perpetrated by men of “Middle Eastern and North African origin.”

Thus began a feeding frenzy on the whole of the far right, clamouring with renewed vitriol against the million Syrian refugees Germany took in this past year, asylum seekers and immigrants in general, and mohamedmens (even though the Cologne Police never ascribed a religion to the drink-besotted mob). Amidst the online outrage is the claim that feminists and leftists are hypocrites, caring about women’s rights only when european men can be blamed as oppressors, and the false claim that we have been silent about the New Year’s sex attacks.

Yet, as one might expect, such people project a fantasy onto us, ignoring the fact that this crime has sparked ample condemnation from feminists around the world

The women who suffered the attacks in Cologne–and in other German cities on that fateful morning– are now being used as mute props by nationalists and xenophobes who never gave a damn about rape before. According to both the BBC and Deutsche Welle, actual victims of the attacks do not want the crimes inflicted upon them to be used against all refugees in the nation. “It would be wrong to blame refugees,” a young woman named Michelle told BBC correspondent Jenny Hill. “They need our help.”

But larger issues remain. We must not allow ourselves to be seduced by the widening gyre of xenophobia now gripping our country. Everywhere are gendered dog whistles (remember Donald Trump accusing Latino men of being rapists?), and we are surrounded by opportunities to seek alliances of convenience with mohammedismophobes and racists whose sudden concern for women was prompted only by the enticing prospect of a brown, foreign man to blame. His purpose, like that of the violated virginal european woman, is also to act as a cipher; in him is invested all of the nation’s sin and thus, it is hoped, his exile will coincide with the expiation of that sin. “Rape culture exists,” the xenophobe at last admits, “but you will find it only among mohamedmens/Mexicans/asylum seekers.” They can temporarily position themselves as allies in the fight for women’s rights, and scorn us for denying them, but we dPost too long.

Turkey's capital Ankara rocked by deadly explosion

As of 17 Feb 2016 22:00 GMT - At least 28 killed and 61 wounded after car bomb reportedly targets military personnel travelling in heart of city.

Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr, reporting from Gaziantep, said officials believe a car bomb had caused the explosion on Wednesday evening and the target had been Turkish military personnel, who were travelling in a vehicle which was stopped at a traffic light.

The death toll rose steadily on Wednesday night, with those wounded in the blast sent to hospitals across the city.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for an urgent emergency meeting with top level security officials in Ankara.

"We will continue our fight against the pawns that carry out such attacks, which know no moral or humanitarian bounds, and the forces behind them with more determination every day," Erdogan said in a statement.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but government officials said they were treating the incident as a "terrorist" attack.

Analysts and unnamed Turkish officials said the Kurdistan Worker's Party (PKK) armed group would be among the leading suspects.

The explosion was heard across the capital when it went off at about 6.15pm local time.

The attack happened at the height of evening rush hour, not far from Turkey's parliament, government buildings and military headquarters.

Witnesses shared images on social media showing a large plume of smoke rising into the sky and and local news footage showed a large fire burning at the site of the explosion.

"This is really in the heart of the Turkish capital - it is clearly a message to the Turkish government," Khodr said.

"This is the fourth major explosion in Turkey in the past few months."

'Terrorist' act

Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said in a speech that the "blatant, treacherous attack" was well organised.

You must understand with every fiber of your being that your true nation, your true religion, your true society, your true politics, your true allegiance is within you.

by H. Millard

Making many more like yourself makes you more important than the richest and most famous people. It is what you are born to do. If you do not understand, then you may want to start taking a long view of history, which is the correct way to view things. You are here today as a european person because a long line of your ancestors bred european. Your line extends into the dim past. Make it extend into the far future. Do the right thing. Make more like yourself and your ancestors.

Over the past centuries, many europeans failed to breed or they bred non-european or they didn’t breed enough — and they have gone extinct. Your ancestors did better. Your ancestors won the struggle for existence. You are the result. You are the fittest now alive. If you fail to breed european, you will be judged unfit because you will be a dead end. Don’t let your ancestors down. Keep the european life force within you moving forward into the future. Be a new Adam or Eve for all future europeans. No matter what else you do in life pales in comparison. If you have many european children who survive you, you will go into the future with them. And, those now alive who don’t make more like themselves? They are nothing. They may be rich. They may be famous. They may be great writers, inventors, or whatever, but if they do not make more like themselves, they are nothing and they will not exist in the future. You may be poor, you may work in a factory, you may struggle for food, you may not have much luxury, but if you have many european children, you are rich and blessed beyond compare. These aren’t just empty words — they are the truth. This is the way of existence.

You may believe that there is some sort of afterlife, but that has never been proven. What has been proven is that a part of you goes forward into the next generation via the children you have who are most like you. The more like you they are, the more of you goes forward. It is common sense. It is a genetic reality.

Here are three of the most important quotations for european survival if correctly understood and acted upon. I’ll repeat these often:

About humans:

“[T]he varieties of mankind are so different that similar differences found in any other animals would warrant their classification in different species, if not in different genera.” — Charles Darwin

And here’s what all living organisms (including humans) must do:

“Living organisms must necessarily compete, for food, for mates, and for living space, especially with other members of their own species [i.e., those they can breed with]. They must avoid predators and other dangers. For all these various reasons, some will leave more offspring than others, and it is the genetic characteristics of such preferred replicators which will be passed on preferentially to succeeding generations. This is the essence of natural selection.” — Francis Crick (Nobel laureate and co-discoverer of the structure of DNA)

Our goal is to become a new species incapable of having children with non-europeans:

“Man is something that shall be overcome. Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman — a rope over an abyss. What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.” — Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

TOO MANY europeans think that genocide only means gas chambers and marching armies. This is a big mistake and causes many europeans to deny what their own eyes are telling them. Look around yourself. Aren’t you seeing more non-europeans no matter where you look — and fewer europeans? You may say, “Oh that’s nothing. That’s just natural.” You’d be wrong. It is not natural. It is a sign of european genocide — more non-europeans and fewer europeans. That’s how european genocide looks in its present stage.

Genocide actually means the killing off of a distinct people — no matter how it is done. It doesn’t require gas chambers or marching armies. It only requires propaganda and the flooding of nations with a different genotype — a different race of people.

Genocide is what is happening right now to europeans worldwide.

It is being done through a variety of means. First, europeans are being told that “diversity” and multiculturalism are wonderful. They are not — not for europeans. They are harmful to us. Diversity and multiculturalism are being sold to easily suggestible europeans the way cigarettes were once sold to us — with subconscious messages of happy, beautiful people who are this way because of diversity and multiculturalism. It is a big lie. It is evil.

europeans are being told that “all humans are just the same” even though true science and our eyes tell us just the opposite. Our eyes and true science are not lying to us. But many europeans are deceived, and, in believing this falsehood that all humans are just the same, the instinct for self-preservation and survival is overridden and many weak minded europeans engage in bedroom genocide and turn their bodies into baby factories producing non-european children. And it’s not just that they’re producing non-european children: They are producing them instead of european children. They’re keeping an entire european civilization from being born.

European peoples are just 8% of the world population

By Johannes van Thorn

“Theirs is an ideological tool to get gullible Caucasians — Leftists and blinded fools with good hearts— on board to help tear down the growing number of us who see through the plan. A fraction of such Leftists didn’t need to learn how bad their ethnocultural group was, but were oikophobic from birth, just as some people are born psychopathic (c. 3%), or how a certain number are born biologically homosexual (c. 3% male, 5% female). These traits exist in all human populations, actual diversity being what it is, but most Leftists were not born that way, but conditioned (brainwashed) to be that way in college. This represents the great victory of the 1968 Cultural Revolution.

It isn’t too late. If you get the sense somewhere deep down that there is value in your racial identity, in what you are, despite the fact, your school and its professors and curriculum, your government, and all media outlets have told you there is none — this chart was made for your consideration. It presents a snapshot of the state of the Extermination Plan’s fruition.”

“Each column begins with U.S. cities (if there are any) followed by Canadian, UK, Western European, Eastern European, Russian, Asian, Latin American, and Southern African cities. The chart was compiled from online census data from each country and is current as of summer 2015.”

Remember, Euro-european peoples are just 8% of the world population (2% are european women of child-bearing age).

We will NOT back down! EUROPA is worth protecting and we will not succumb to your deceptions

For nearly a millennium, Cologne has been associated with its Cathedral, its twin spires featured prominently on every imaginable thing – including the ubiquitous tall glasses serving the revered local beer, Kolsch. In the 20th century, the city became known for its easy-going, fun-loving nature, a city of warmth, hospitality and tolerance – and its wild Carnival.

Now, this ancient city on the Rhine is famous around the world as a place where gangs of drunk "foreign" men sexually assaulted hundreds of young women and terrorized them while police, outnumbered and unable to intervene, turned the victims away – sending them back to the very men who were victimizing them.

It's heartbreaking – for those women, and for my city.

Why here? How did this happen in Cologne? Actually, similar attacks occurred – on a smaller scale – in Hamburg, in Stuttgart and in Austria. And they date as far back as summer 2014, when Swedish police investigated a similar incident at a local festival.

“It was a modus operandi that we had never seen before: large groups of young men who surround girls and molest them," a Stockholm official told U.K. newspaperThe Guardian afterward. "In the cases where we were able to apprehend suspects, they were of a foreign background, newly arrived refugees aged 17-20, who had come to Sweden without their families.”

It's eerie how that echoes the Cologne chief of police after the assaults became public.

Still, the horrors of Cologne are of a scale heretofore unheard of in Europe – and New Year's Eve was perhaps a perfect storm: A large gathering of people, mostly drunk, and police slow to realize what was happening. That's because Cologne has a very permissive attitude toward public drunkenness, and large groups of drunk young people congregating in and around public squares are not unusual here.

The fact that the men responsible for the attacks were largely immigrants is also not a shock. The state of North Rhine Westphalia, in which Cologne is located, has taken by far the largePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>Michigan's state and local officials poisoned Flint's water with lead but innocent federal taxpayers are the ones having to foot the cleanup bill. President Obama has pledged to hand Flint $85 million in aid money. This sounds like a lot, but the fact of the matter is that it is far less than what Flint's victims would have gotten if a corporation — rather than government — had been the culprit. That's because, unlike private companies, the government is shielded from liability lawsuits.

>>After initially giving Michigan Governor Rick Snyder only $5 million in going away money to help Flint residents buy water filters and bottled water, President Obama finally acquiesced this week to pleas for more help and authorized another $80 million. Now he's also considering Snyder's request for extending Medicaid eligibility to all Flint children up to age 21 regardless of their income or insurance status.

>>Setting aside the Medicaid expansion, the $85 million in federal aid combined with the $28 million in state aid that Snyder has arranged, works out to on average $1,000 for each of Flint's 99,700 residents — or about $4,000 for a family of four.

>>As has been widely reported, 6.4 percent of Flint's nearly 8,500 kids are now testing for dangerously high lead levels in their blood stream — up from 3.6 percent before the city switched them from Detroit water to toxic Flint River water. Many of these children have developed rashes and brittle bones and face the prospect of permanent brain damage, diminished IQ, and behavioral difficulties. But kids are not the only ones hurt. Around 85 people have been diagnosed with Legionnaire's disease — a particularly horrible form of pneumonia — compared to around six to 13 in a normal year. Ten of them have already died.

What's more, despite the totally deplorable liability shield or immunity from personal injury lawsuits the automaker received from the Obama administration as part of its 2009 bankruptcy restructuring, it still paid $625 million in compensation to the victims. And of course it recalled and fixed all the 2.6 million affected vehicles. All in all, it was down $1.5 billion.

>>But don't stand on one foot waiting for a privatization program to catch on because in liberal land privatization is anathema. Liberals consider clean, drinking water a "public good" that ought to be immune to privatization and the profit motive. The Washington Post's Dana Milbank, hilariously enough, even tweeted: "Flint isn't a failure of government at all levels. It's a failure of Gov. Snyder's private-sector theology." Never mind that the Flint water system is owned and operated by the government from top to bottom.

Norwegian officials called the school guards "extra supervision". Critics said the plan to post security personnel near an Oslo school in case of assaults by newly arrived refugees was an ugly euphemism for intolerance.

Critics said that huh? Why would it be intolerance to keep your kids safe from sexual molestation and gang physical violence?

Across the border in the far northern Swedish town of Kalix, a traditional bastion of center-left politics, over 100 residents signed a petition against plans to turn a 19th century country house into a reception center for unaccompanied minors.

Kalix has a population of just over 7000 people.

The debate among these liberal Scandinavian stalwarts would have been unheard of a year ago, underscoring how concern about a record influx of immigrants is percolating into the Nordics' mainstream from the populist fringes.

Anti-immigrant, populist parties have gained support since some 250,000 refugees entered the Nordics last year.

This is a false number. Most immigrants to the scandinavian countries are neither spread into the northern parts of the region nor concentrated anywhere except the capital cities such as stockholm, the immigrants have also been coming for about a decade and the numbers of family members brought in are hard to find and track, that is in addition to the original illegal immigrants.

A record 163,000 refugees arrived in Sweden and the far right is vying for top spot in polls. In Denmark, the anti-immigration Danish People’s Party is the second largest in parliament.

But it is a backlash among the mainstream that may be the biggest change. There are signs that voters may be broadly supportive of immigrants but not in their own backyard. From welfare cuts to new ID checks, it is a trend that shows the limits of even some of Europe’s most open societies, and may represent a sea change for politics in Scandinavia.

"It's a big change happening close to us. In all neighborhoods there are concerns," said Pia Almvang, head of the parents' association at LysakerPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

In Kalix, hit by a decline in the paper industry but still a bastion of Social Democrat support, residents have petitioned the council to abandon plans for a center for around 30 unaccompanied children.

"I have a big heart and I believe we have to help, so it's not about that, but enough is enough," said Anne-Maj Ostlund, a 75-year-old retired school teacher who lives close to the yellow-painted wooden villa in Kalix, being used as a hostel

"I have lived in heaven here … it is peaceful," said Ostlund, who has lived in the same house since 1948. "What is going to be left?"

Middle class neighborhoods in Stockholm and Gothenburg have seen meetings where furious citizens have questioned politicians over refugees' housing.

Police were called to one meeting in Haninge, near Stockholm, where the local authority had gathered residents and parents of pupils at a nearby school to inform them about plans for a center for unaccompanied minors.

Council workers were met by shouts of "they are going to rape our children," and "who will take responsibility when someone dies".
