The Muslim invasion of Europe and America

The Muslim invasion of Europe and America

AUGUST 23, 2015 8:04 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER



“What are Muslims fleeing? Shariah law?” Good question. 
“The invasion of Europe and America,” 
by Pamela Geller, WND, August 23, 2015:

Europe is on the verge of descending into utter chaos. Reuters reported that “thousands of migrants stormed across Macedonia’s border on Saturday, overwhelming security forces who threw stun grenades and lashed out with batons before apparently abandoning a bid to stem their flow through the Balkans to western Europe.”

These thousands of Muslim “refugees,” most of them from the jihad hotspots of Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, have been pouring into Greece and the Balkans in huge numbers for some time now. But they do not, of course, want to stay in Greece, Macedonia and Serbia. They want to reach the European Union: primarily Germany, France and Britain.

More of these “refugees” arrive every day.Media reports of this Muslim invasion focus on the crying women and children, who seem to have been deliberately brought to the front of the crowd. Clearly the vast majority of these “migrants” are men, and in any case, under normal circumstances, wouldn’t you take the women, and especially the children, to the side so that they wouldn’t get hurt in clashes with police? Instead, they are used as human shields.

How very like Hamas. Just as the “Palestinian” terrorists launch attacks from civilian areas to try to provoke civilian casualties they can use to manipulate world opinion, so now the international media obscures the reality of this flood of “refugees” into Europe in an attempt to blunt legitimate concern over it.

This is just emotional manipulation of the vilest kind, as we’ve already seen so many times with the Gaza conflict, the Bosnian civil war, the supposed “genocide” of Muslims in Burma, and so very much more.

Europe (and the U.S. under Obama) are importing jihad. For years, I have warned against the massive Muslim immigration under refugee resettlement programs. What are Muslims fleeing? Shariah law?

Immigration jihad, or hijrah, is the migration or journey of Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Yathrib, later renamed by him to Medina, in the year 622 CE. It was after the hijrah that Muhammad for the first time became not just a preacher of religious ideas, but a political and military leader. That was what occasioned his new “revelations” exhorting his followers to commit violence against unbelievers. Significantly, the Islamic calendar counts the hijrah, not Muhammad’s birth or the occasion of his first “revelation,” as the beginning of Islam, implying that Islam is not fully itself without a political and military component.

And true to that martial aspect of this immigration, the “refugees” have grown increasingly violent. Nonetheless, the enemedia and compromised government officials maintain that if you disagree with letting all these people into your country, you are a heartless hateful racist bigot. But this is as absurd as it is insidious. Imagine if this logic were applied in daily life, if someone wanted to enter your house, take all your belongings and even move in there. Should you be forced to let them in?

Shouldn’t the governing authorities of every sovereign nation, if they really have the best interests of their nation at heart, have the right to let in who they want into their country, just as anyone can decide who he or she wants to allow into his or her home? Nobody has a “right” to move to a certain country, or to become a citizen of that country, or to receive welfare or some other assistance there – but it seems as though we as a culture and civilization have completely forgotten about these simple facts.

So when all European cities, and even whole countries, start to look the way Paris or London (where, in significant areas of the city, the majority of the population is of foreign extraction and Islam is the dominant religion) look today, will we have “helped” enough? It’s a war being fought throughout many European cities. In Denmark, it’s Muslim armies versus bikers, often classified as “gang violence.”

And at the rate President Obama is importing these same Muslim communities, we can expect the same war in the streets. Obama is importing whole Muslim communities from jihad nations, while immigration authorities single out Christians who are fleeing Islamic slaughter for attrition and harassment. In 2016, the number of Muslim refugees coming to the U.S. from Syria is expected to quadruple.

Are there no officials in Europe or America who love their homelands enough to stop ignoring the obvious consequences of all this?

Commentary:

The Muslims have three times earlier in history attempted to invade Europe by arms.
The recent "Arab Spring" started by adding petrol to fire in several  Middle-East countries by sending groups of ´instigators` into  countries already near civil war conditions.

This was an ideal situation for Bilderberg´s planned mass exodus of Muslim populations into Europe,and ISIS was born to create fear and destruction.

The final stroke of genius in their evil plan was to start sending large formations of unaccompanied children into the European checkpoints,knowing fair well they would not be turned away.  The Norwegian prime minister has even started a public appeal to the people of Norway to open the doors of their homes for the massive groups of single children.

Hence,we now have the fourth,unarmed  Arab invasion of Europe,this time by children and woman,unfortunately,with all signs of success.

Bilderberg Calls For Destruction Of Europe And North America through their UN Special representative Peter Sutherland

Bilderberg Calls For Destruction Of Europe And North America through their UN Special representative Peter Sutherland

Says it is the "duty" of the West to "respect" migrants who undermine its culture and social moral.


Image Credits: Pixabay.

Peter Sutherland, the United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General for International Migration, told the UN News Center it is not only the responsibility of Europe but also the United States and Canada to accept illegal immigration.

“Proximity doesn’t define responsibility,” he said.

Sutherland said it is “not merely a moral but a legal obligation (under the UN 1951 Refugee Convention)” to accept millions of “economic migrants” he said are “also deserving not merely of respect, and due regard to their rights, but also a constructive engagement in regard to migration more generally.”

In other words, it is the duty of Europeans and North Americans to open their borders and respect people who may not respect their cultural norms and not only do not intend to assimilate but, as the European example demonstrates, undermine legal and cultural norms in favor of Sharia law and often violent intolerance for other religions and customs.

He said opposition to massive illegal migration and concerns about the undermining of cultural norms, the destruction of social cohesion and threats to national sovereignty are “racist and xenophobic, and (ought) to be condemned.”


In June, following a meeting with Pope Francis, the boss of Goldman-Sachs International and Bilderberg attendee Sutherland told RTÉ radio 240,000 immigrants flooding into Europe each year is not an economic burden on countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom.

“Governments have to lead by giving the positive news that migrants are good for a community, economically and every other way rather than constantly expressing them as a burden because they are not really a burden,” Sutherland said. “Within a very short period of time they contribute positively to the community in which they live.”

The experience in Europe, Britain and North America betrays Sutherland’s remarks on assimilation and contribution.

“Muslim immigration to the Western world has not had much to do with the West as a ‘land of opportunity’ or a place where one has personal and individual freedoms unfettered by politics or government. Rather, it too frequently represents a threat to these grand traditions, this because there is often no intention to ‘assimilate,’” writes Daniel Gallington for Human Events.

The practice of Islam is inconsistent with the cultural and social mores of the West. “Muslim integration into Western cultures — especially ours — requires the abandonment of laws, rules and practices inconsistent with living in free societies.”

THE BIGGEST CON EVER PERPETRATED ON THE PEOPLE OF EUROPE

The Bilderberg Group created the US Federal Reserve Bank,which is privately owned. They also created the UN, The Trilateral Commission and NATO,all under their control.

Peter Sutherland,earlier executive of the Bilderberg Group was elected as a UN watch-dog of the European immigration disaster,fitting neatly into Bilderberg´s  plan to displace millions of people from the Middle East and Africa into Europe through the support and employment of terrorist Islamic tribes. He recently had a meeting with the Pope,who is also in agreement with him. (Read the link above)

Bilderberg, The Federal Reserve, The bank of England, the EU, the World Bank and the UN are carving out a World plutocracy run by bankers and billionaires.  This is so glaringly obvious, the Bilderbergers must be very confident,why else set a goat to guard the sack of oats?   AGAIN,the truth is so close to your eyes,you don´t see it!!

The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan becomes evident in 1925 when he writes in Practical Idealism (Praktischer Idealismus): “The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today’s races and classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future, similar in its appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals.”

*  Why would the Pope and the catholic church be interested in an Islam dominated Europe?  Something does not smell right!!

With a fertility difference of 1.3 to 8 they will dominate Europe after 10 years.  Listen to Peter Sutherland´s promotional acceptance of this in the above video.


COME ON,PEOPLE OF EUROPE, TIME TO WAKE UP !!

What they did´nt tell you about Bisphenol (BPA)



Bisphenol A (BPA)

CATEGORY*: Endocrine disruptor

FOUND IN: Plastics, epoxy resins used in food cans

THE GIST: It’s one of the most common chemicals we’re exposed to each day, and it’s in everything from food and drink containers to dental fillings. BPA is a synthetic estrogen that can disrupt the hormone system, particularly when exposures occur while babies are still in the womb or in early life. Even miniscule exposures increase risks for breast cancer, prostate cancer, infertility, early puberty, metabolic disorders and type-2 diabetes. Some BPA alternatives, such as BPS, have come on the market, but have yet to be proven safe. The FDA has banned BPA from baby bottles and infant formula packaging.

The State of the Evidence on Bisphenol A (BPA)

Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most common chemicals to which we are exposed in everyday life. It is the building block of polycarbonate plastic and is also used in the manufacture of epoxy resinsfound in many common consumer products (Beronius, 2010). It is also prevalent in thermal receipts and other paper products, including in recycled paper products as a result of the recycling of thermal receipts (Liao, 2011).

Avoid canned foods; clear, shatterproof plastic food and drink containers; and thermal receipts. And even if a plastic is labeled as BPA-free, do not assume that it's safe!

An estimated 5 million US tons of this endocrine-disrupting chemical were produced globally in 2008, and more than 2.4 million tons were produced in the United States in 2007 (CEPA, 2009). According to Global Industry Analysts, the global market is expected to reach 6 million tons by 2015 (GIA, 2010). Over 500 tons of BPA are released into the U.S. environment annually, according to an estimate by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, 2012). Significant levels of BPA have been measured in ambient air (Matsumoto, 2005), house dust (Rudel, 2003), and river and drinking water(Rodriguez-Mozaz, 2005). 

Present in many common household products such as eyeglasses and compact discs, BPA is also commonly found in the epoxy lining of metal food cans; polycarbonate plastic food containers, including some baby bottles; microwave ovenware; and eating utensils. Because BPA is an unstable compound and is also lipophilic (fat-seeking), it can leach into food products, especially when heated (Brotons, 1995). Once in food, BPA can move quickly into people — a particular concern for women of childbearing age and young children. Two studies have explored the effects of increased ingestion of food and drink packaged in materials containing endocrine-disrupting compounds. Both found rapid increases (within a few days to a week) in BPA levels in urine and/or blood samples taken from subjects who intentionally increased their intake of common foods and drinks packaged in BPA-containing products (Carwile, 2009; Smith, 2009). Another study took the opposite approach and demonstrated that just a three-day period of limiting intake of packaged foods decreased the concentrations of BPA found in urine by an average 65 percent (Rudel, 2011).

Clearance of BPA from the body is quite rapid, with its urinary half-life on the order of hours to days. A recent study of samples taken from fasting people indicates that sources other than foods may also be responsible for the pervasive exposure to BPA, as levels of the chemical did not decrease as rapidly as would have been predicted were food the only source of contamination (Stahlhut, 2009), a finding supported by growing evidence of BPA’s presence in thermal receipts and other paper goods. 

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researchers have measured BPA in 93 percent of about 2,500 urine samples from a broad national sample of adults through the NHANES study (Calafat, 2008). BPA has been found in the blood (Padmanabhan, 2008) and urine (Ye, 2009a) of pregnant women, and in breast milk soon after women gave birth (Kuruto-Niwa, 2006). BPA has also been found in blood samples from developing fetuses and the surrounding amniotic fluid (Ikezuki, 2002); it has also been measured in placental tissue and umbilical cord blood at birth (EWG, 2009; Schonfelder, 2002) as well as in the urine of premature infants housed in neonatal ICUs (Calafat, 2009).

That BPA is found so extensively in people, from prenatal to adult ages, is particularly impressive given the relatively short half-life of the chemical. Nevertheless, one of the big controversies in the field is related to the form of BPA that is measured in these human biomonitoring studies. The parent chemical, bisphenol A, is known to be weakly estrogenic (Markey, 2001; Wetherill, 2007). However BPA is rapidly metabolized (converted) by the gastrointestinal tract and the liver to a form of BPA (called conjugated BPA) that does not display known estrogenic activity (Matthews, 2001; Volkel, 2002). 

Analysis of human urine and blood samples has led some investigators to conclude that levels of the parent, estrogenic form of BPA are insignificant in both blood and urine samples of people, and that the conjugated metabolites being reported by most scientists have no known physiological activity (Teeguarden, 2011; Volkel 2008). Others recognize the importance of BPA conversion by metabolism, but conclude that the cumulative evidence from human biomonitoring studies indicates sufficient continued exposure of people to unconjugated (parent) BPA to explain its observed effects on physiological systems (Vandenberg, 2010b).

A further complication in understanding the data from human and animal studies is that, while adult rodents and mammals appear to have similar rates of metabolizing BPA, there may be important differences in metabolism of BPA between rodent and primate (including human) metabolism of the compound in very young animals, a factor that would influence the usefulness of using rodent models for understanding development effects of early BPA exposures in humans (Doerge, 2011; Taylor, 2010).

Despite these important controversies over the form and amount of BPA to which developing and adult humans are exposed, considerable data indicate that exposure of humans to BPA is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease, miscarriages, decreased birth weight at term, breast and prostate cancer, reproductive and sexual dysfunctions, altered immune system activity, metabolic problems and diabetes in adults, and cognitive and behavioral development in young children (Braun, 2009, 2011; Rees-Clayton, 2011; Lang, 2008; Li, 2009; Miao, 2011; Sugiura-Ogasawara, 2005). These findings are entirely consistent with parallel research in rodent models demonstrating reproductive, metabolic and neurodevelopmental problems in animals exposed to environmentally relevant levels of BPA (e.g., Salian, 2011; Wei, 2011; Wolstenholme, 2011).

With regard to mammary development and increased risk for development of breast cancer, several studies using both rat and mouse models have demonstrated that even brief exposures to environmentally relevant doses of BPA during gestation or around the time of birth lead to changes in mammary tissue structure predictive of later development of tumors (Maffini, 2006; Markey, 2001; Muñoz-de-Toro, 2005). Exposure also increased sensitivity to estrogen at puberty (Wadia, 2007). Early exposure to BPA led to abnormalities in mammary tissue development that were observable even during gestation and were maintained into adulthood (Vandenberg, 2007; 2008). Prenatal exposure of rats to BPA resulted in increases in the number of pre-cancerous lesions and in situ tumors (carcinomas) (Murray, 2007a), as well as an increased number of mammary tumors following adulthood exposures to subthreshold doses (lower than that needed to induce tumors) of known carcinogens (Durando, 2007; Jenkins, 2009).

Another mechanism by which perinatal exposures to low levels of BPA may affect mammary tissue development at puberty and into adulthood is through increased synthesis of the progesterone receptor and activation of progesterone-regulated mammary-cell proliferation (Ayyanan, 2011).

Changes in mammary development comparable to those observed in rodent models were also observed when female rhesus monkeys were exposed to environmentally relevant doses of BPA during gestation (Tharp, 2012).

Some of the long-term effects of neonatal exposures to BPA may be dose dependent, with low- and high-dose exposures resulting in different timing and profiles of changes in gene expression in cells of the mammary gland. In one study, low-dose exposures had the most profound effect on rat mammary glands during the period just prior to the animals’ reaching reproductive maturity, while higher doses had more delayed effects, altering gene expression in mammary tissues from mature adults (Moral, 2008). In a study of chronic exposure of adult mice to different concentrations of BPA, only low doses decreased the latency of tumor appearance and increased the number of mammary tumors as well as their rate of metastasis. All doses enhanced the rate of mammary cellproliferation, but only relatively higher doses counteracted this increased proliferation with parallel increases in programmed cell death (apoptosis) (Jenkins, 2011).

In addition to physical abnormalities in the developing mammary tissue of rodents treated around the time of birth with low levels of BPA (0.7 ug/kg body weight/day or 64 ug/kg body weight/day), there are also functional deficits. Female rats exposed to BPA during gestation and suckling had physical abnormalities in their adult mammary tissue as well as decreases in yield and different protein content of their own milk when as new mothers, they were feeding their pups. Observed differences following BPA exposure were similar to those found in rats that had been similarly exposed to diethylstilbestrol, a known breast tumor inducer (Kass, 2012).

Studies using cultures of human breast cancer cells demonstrate that BPA acts through the same cellular response pathways as the natural estrogen estradiol (Rivas, 2002; Welshons, 2006). BPA can interact weakly with the intracellular estrogen receptor, and it can also induce mammary cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. It affects cellular functions through interactions with the membrane estrogen-receptor (Watson, 2005; Wozniak, 2005). Along with its many other effects on cell growth and proliferation, BPA has been shown to mimic estradiol in causing direct damage to the DNA of cultured human breast cancer cells (Iso, 2006).

Exposure of normal and cancerous human breast cells to low levels of BPA leads to altered expression of hundreds of genes including many involved in hormone-receptor-mediated processes, cell proliferation and programmed cell death, and carcinogenesis (Goodson, 2011; Tilghman, 2012; Weng, 2010).

In the presence of BPA, cells from the non-cancerous breast of women diagnosed with breast cancer had a gene-response profile associated with the development of highly aggressive tumors (Dairkee, 2008). Studies indicate that BPA reduces the efficacy of common chemotherapy agents (cisplatin, doxirubicin and vinblastin) in their blocking the proliferation of breast cancer cells when tested in cell systems (LaPensee, 2009; 2010). Thus, not only does early exposure to BPA lead to an increased risk for development of breast tumors, but exposure to BPA during chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer may make the treatment less effective.

Europeans of The New World Order

Commentary:


The privat Bilderberg Group, of no national adherence,have since it´s formation in 1956 been engaged in carrying out the orders of their superiors in the Illuminati, an old masonic pyramide organization,run by a small,powerful group of businessmen,whose agenda is to create The New World Order.

The Bilderberg Group created the US Federal Reserve Bank,which is privately owned. They also created the UN, The Trilateral Commission and NATO,all under their control.

Peter Sutherland,earlier chairman of the Bilderberg Group was elected as a UN watch-dog of the European immigration disaster,fitting neatly into Bilderberg´s  plan to displace millions of people from the Middle East and Africa into Europe through the support and employment of terrorist Islamic tribes.

With a fertility difference of 1.3 to 8 they will dominate Europe after 10 years.  Listen to Peter Sutherland´s promotional acceptance of this in the above video.

The Bilderberg Group owns all the world´s major banks, the press and TV stations,as well as Hollywood film studios and the entertainment industry.  They have through the years managed to put their own people into all of the most important government positions in the USA as well as within the European Union.  The president of the EU Commission is also a staunch Bilderberg supporter.

As more and more countries are now closing their borders to all but the most needy, and winter is approaching with deadly cold days and nights,rejected migrants,refusing to return to their native countries will suffer a human holocaust,which will split the countries of Europe, many leaving the EU for good.

PLEASE, citizens of Europe,OPEN YOUR EYES, and learn the truth of what is happening behind your backs,by your people´s elected governments,and let your governments know you will have NO MORE!!

STATSBUDSJETTETS VINNERE: Silje Sandmæl, forbrukerøkonom i DNB, peker ut eldre og unge som vinnerne i dagens framlagte budsjett. Rikingene og studentene er taperne, sier hun.

TAPER MEST: Minstepensjonistene kommer 
dÃ¥rligst ut, mener Jan Davidsen, leder i 
Pensjonistforbundet. Foto: Nina Hansen / Dagbladet


ØKONOMENS DOM: Forbrukerøkonom Silje Sandmæl forteller at de fleste får mer å rutte med. Video: DBTV

(Dagbladet): Gifte og samboende pensjonister er kÃ¥ret til Ã¥rets budsjettvinnere, etter at regjeringen foreslÃ¥r en økning av grunnpensjonen fra 85 til 90 prosent av G (G = folketrygdens grunnbeløp som per i dag utgjør 90 068 kroner). 

Et vanlig pensjonistpar vil kunne fÃ¥ rundt 8000 til 9000 kroner mer Ã¥ rutte med i Ã¥ret dersom forslaget om reduksjon i avkortningen av grunnbeløpet innføres. 

- Unødvendig prioritering, mener Alexandra Plahte, uavhengig pensjonsrÃ¥dgiver i Gabler Steenberg & Plahte. 


Har allerede god økonomiHovedandelen som vil nyte godt av forslaget om økt grunnpensjon er gifte og samboende alderspensjonistene som omfattes av gammel opptjeningsmodell i folketrygden. 


- Med andre ord den generasjonen som i minst grad blir berørt av pensjonsreformen. Denne gruppa framheves ogsÃ¥ ofte som pensjonister med god økonomi, sier Plahte. 

Endringene antas Ã¥ pÃ¥virke rundt 500 000 alderspensjonister, 140 000 uføretrygdede og 15 000 med offentlig AFP. 


Til sammen vil ca. 650 000 pensjonister bli berørt.  


Antatt totalkostnad for økningen av Nav-ytelsene er 884 millioner (710 millioner til alderspensjon og 174 millioner til uføretrygd).

Deler regningen

Alderspensjonister som lever alene fÃ¥r ingen glede av forslaget.   

- SpørsmÃ¥let man - med rette - kan stille seg, er om det er riktig Ã¥ prioritere Ã¥ øke pensjonen til denne gruppa pensjonister, mener Alexandra Plahte.  


- Mange slÃ¥r fast at disse fÃ¥r redusert grunnpensjonen sin fordi de er gift eller samboer. Men for meg blir dette feil vinkling.  Utgangspunktet - og begrunnelsen for bestemmelsen - er nemlig at de som er enslige skal fÃ¥ noe mer fordi mange utgifter er de samme enten man lever alene eller har en ektefelle eller samboer Ã¥ dele regningen med, sier pensjonsrÃ¥dgiveren. 


- Det er liten tvil om at forslaget er i tråd med en av Frps kampsaker. Sånn sett er forslaget på ingen måte overraskende, men man trenger ikke være enig i prioriteringen av den grunn, sier Plahte.


Trenger et løft
- Denne endringen vil utelukkende treffe pensjonister som er gifte eller samboende og vil ikke ha noen effekt for enslige, som absolutt har en dÃ¥rligere pensjonsøkonomi, sier Birger Myhr, daglig leder i Pensjonseksperten. 


- Det er vanskelig Ã¥ skjønne hva som egentlig er begrunnelsen for denne omleggingen. Minstepensjonistene vil ikke nyte godt av endringen, men det vil derimot pensjonistpar som normalt har god økonomi fra før, sier han. 


Han mener det ville vært langt mer mÃ¥lrettet Ã¥ bruke beløpet pÃ¥ Ã¥ heve minstepensjonsnivÃ¥et. 


- Det ville bidratt til at de som faktisk har minst, fikk et økonomisk løft, sier Myhr. 


Knut Dyre Haug, pensjonsøkonom i Storebrand, synes grunnpensjonen bør være som den er i dag. 


- Dette er en forlengelse av en annen diskusjon, nemlig hva slags betingelser enslige skal ha i samfunnet, i alt fra reiser til finansielle tjenester. Ã… leve i et parforhold er billigere enn Ã¥ være enslig, og det er ogsÃ¥ den bakenforliggende forskjellen pÃ¥ grunnpensjonen vi har i dag, sier han. -Jeg synes man langt pÃ¥ vei kan forsvare en lavere grunnpensjon for samboere og gifte. Sett i lys av de litt strammere tidene vi er inne i nÃ¥, burde den ligge pÃ¥ 85 prosent, sier Dyre Haug. 


Den store taperen
Enslige minstepensjonister er den desidert største taperen i statsbudsjettet for 2016, mener Pensjonistforbundet. 

Minstepensjonister betaler ikke skatt pÃ¥ pensjonen sin, og fÃ¥r dermed ikke den skatteletten som ni av ti arbeidstakere og pensjonister fÃ¥r, pÃ¥peker forbundsleder Jan Davidsen. 


-Men i likhet med alle andre fÃ¥r de økt moms pÃ¥ kultur og underholdning, samt at egenandelen til helsetjenester øker, kringkastingslisensen øker, kommunale avgifter øker og avgifter pÃ¥ alkohol og tobakk, sier han. 


Det er rundt 50 000 aleneboende minstepensjonister i Norge. Satsen for minste pensjonsnivÃ¥ for enslige er 175 000 kroner, mens EUs fattigdomsgrense for 2014 var pÃ¥ 216 000 kroner. 

- Eldre som bor alene, og som er over 66 Ã¥r, utgjør 22 prosent av dem som er fattige over tid. Derfor er det ogsÃ¥ urovekkende at bostøtten ikke øker for enslige. Det er i første rekke eldre kvinner som er i fattigdomsgruppen, sier Jan Davidsen. 

Selv om Davidsen er kritisk til at minstepensjonistene ikke fÃ¥r et løft i statsbudsjettet for 2016, støtter han forslaget om Ã¥ heve satsen pÃ¥ avkortning av pensjonen for gifte og samboende pensjonistpar fra 85 til 90 prosent. 

- Pensjonssystemet er basert pÃ¥ individuell opptjening. Dermed bør alle fÃ¥ den pensjonen de har tjent seg opp, uavhengig av sivilstand. Det er bra at man nÃ¥ fÃ¥r rettet opp i denne urettferdigheten.

Hundreds of thousands protest in Berlin against the TTIP trade deal

Hundreds of thousands protest in Berlin against EU-U.S. trade deal

Business News | Sat Oct 10, 2015 11:41pm BST
BERLIN
At least 150,000 people marched in Berlin on Saturday in protest against a planned free trade deal between Europe and the United States that they say is anti-democratic and will lower food safety, labour and environmental standards.

Organisers - an alliance of environmental groups, charities and opposition parties - said 250,000 people had taken part in the rally against free trade deals with both the United States and Canada, far more than they had anticipated.


"This is the biggest protest that this country has seen for many, many years," Christoph Bautz, director of citizens' movement Campact told protesters in a speech.

Police said 150,000 people had taken part in the demonstration which was trouble free. There were 1,000 police officers on duty at the march.

Opposition to the so-called Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) has risen over the past year in Germany, with critics fearing the pact will hand too much power to big multinationals at the expense of consumers and workers.

"What bothers me the most is that I don't want all our consumer laws to be softened," Oliver Zloty told Reuters TV. "And I don't want to have a dictatorship by any companies."

Dietmar Bartsch, deputy leader of the parliamentary group for the Left party, who was taking part in the rally said he was concerned about the lack of transparency surrounding the talks.

"We definitely need to know what is supposed to be being decided," he said.

Marchers banged drums, blew whistles and held up posters reading "Yes we can - Stop TTIP."




The level of resistance has taken Chancellor Angela Merkel's government by surprise and underscores the challenge it faces to turn the tide in favour of the deal which proponents say will create a market of 800 million and serve as a counterweight to China's economic clout.

In a full-page letter published in several German newspapers on Saturday, Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel warned against "scaremongering". 

"We have the chance to set new and goods standards for growing global trade. With ambitious, standards for the environment and consumers and with fair conditions for investment and workers. This must be our aim," Gabriel wrote. 

Businesses hope the trade deal will deliver over $100 billion of economic gains on both sides of the Atlantic. 

"A fair and comprehensive free trade deal promotes growth and prosperity in Europe. We should actively participate in the rules for world trade of tomorrow," Ulrich Grillo, head of the BDI Federation of German industries, said in a statement.

Mass immigration is damaging British society, Conservative interior minister Theresa May said on Tuesday, promising a tough approach on an issue that will influence Britons' choice of whether or not to leave the European Union.

Mass immigration strained public services like schools and hospitals, depressed wages and pushed people out of work, she said, describing the economic benefits as "close to zero".

Commentary:


A  Lady and a Gentleman with guts,who does not hide their heads in the sand!!
England is on the brink to take a vote on whether to remain in the EU or not,
several other EU members are considering to follow.

The European Union is no longer what we understood it to be,and it should be dissolved.  Further TISA and TTIP negotiations should cease and Norway should pull out of EFTA.

Our borders must be made secure from the hordes of opportunistic people of conflicting cultures,forcing their way into our countries.  

A sinking ship with only ONE lifeboat can not take ALL on board,then we will ALL sink.  We must find other ways to keep them afloat until they can be rescued.

Migrants in Finnland want ALLAH´s money..THEIR money...NOT charity.
