The Media is the Message > Media reports 'Pure Fiction'; NL media lies about Muslim attacks on Jews in Amsterdam; Media believes Hamas lies on casualties

 

Is this another step in the complete destruction of the legacy media? From several years of far-left propaganda and exaggerated woke slants, has media descended now to the point of utter fiction?

Russia denies Trump, Putin spoke

in recent days: ‘Pure fiction’

The Kremlin dismissed on Monday reports that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump had spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin in recent days as “pure fiction.”

A source told Reuters on Sunday that Trump, who has criticized the scale of U.S. military and financial support for Kyiv and said he will end the war quickly, had spoken to Putin in recent days.

The source told Reuters they were familiar with the conversation, first reported by The Washington Post, which cited unidentified sources as saying Trump had told Putin that he should not escalate the Ukraine war.

In an unusual move, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday no such call had taken place between Putin and Trump.

“This is completely untrue. This is pure fiction, it’s just false information,” he told reporters. “There was no conversation.”

“This is the most obvious example of the quality of the information that is being published now, sometimes even in fairly reputable publications,” he said.

Asked whether Putin had plans for any contacts with Trump, Peskov said: “There are no concrete plans yet.”

European media always protects Muslim migrants regardless of how violent or evil they are. This at the cost of Jews and European girls who should have been warned of the potential for violence and rape. This traitorous attitude has to end.

Media Lies About Muslim Street Violence

Against Jews in Amsterdam

While most elected officials condemned the sustained Muslim street violence campaign against Jews (and anyone they thought was Jewish or at least non-Muslim in a given part of Amsterdam), the media quickly rushed into cover-up mode, describing it as ‘soccer hooliganism’ and a ‘clash’ involving ‘fans of an Israeli soccer team’ triggered by the burning of a PLO flag.

1. Soccer or ‘football’ was not the issue. It just created Jewish targets. This was a friendly match with a local soccer team that has a lot of Jewish fans. The Muslim mobs attacking Jews were not supporting the other team.

2. It was a systemic planned attack that predated any events of that night. The perpetrators described it as a hunt for Jews.

 

Nor is it a new phenomenon. Here’s a clip of a call for hunting Jews by a Muslim mob in the UK 2021.

 

So no, this isn’t about Gaza or anything after Oct 7. It’s about Islam and the media’s willingness to cover up anything involving Islam. Especially when the targets are Jewish or Christian.

The same media that spent months covering up a Muslim terror stabbing of young girls in the UK while criminalizing anyone who spoke out against it is back in action, doing what it always does.

Confirmed: Contrary to claims, largest number of fatalities in Gaza were fighting-age men, not women and children

The entire world has lined up to demonize Israel over lies.

The international media glommed onto this propaganda and happily spread it on the front page even though it contradicts Hamas' own reports. That's how little investigation goes into looking for the truth in the news - virtually none!

Find the 5-9 age group in the graph above - for boys it's less than 400, for girls it's less than 300. For men between 25 and 35 it's about 550, and for women in that age group about 200. 

It would be nice if no children were killed, but Hamas has to be eradicated and as long as they hide themselves among women and children there are going to be unwanted casualties.

Unfortunately, Gazans don't want to, or can't seem to extricate themselves from Hamas soldiers. Hamas doesn't mind the IDF killing Palestinian civilians, it's their number one propaganda weapon. Besides, Hamas are not Palestinians, so why should they care?

Bits and Bites from Around the World > Insanely stupid recall of 80,000 pounds of Costco butter

 

Costco forced to recall 80,000 pounds of butter

for the dumbest possible reason

It’s butter stupidity!

Costco was forced to recall nearly 80,000 pounds of butter because the label failed to mention that the kitchen staple contains milk — and many social media users are rolling their eyes at the dairy dilemma.

The FDA sent out an initial recall for 79,200 pounds of Kirkland Signature butter due to the undeclared allergen in October. Packages for both the salted and unsalted Kirkland Signature Sweet Cream Butter list cream as an ingredient, but do not include an allergy warning that the butter “Contains Milk.”

The bizarre recall has left many internet users scratching their heads. The most common comment: “It’s butter.”

“80,000 pounds of Costco butter was just recalled, because the label doesn’t say that it contains milk. It’s butter. News articles are telling people how they can return, or safely dispose of, the butter. It’s butter,” one person deadpanned.

One social media user joked, “Can y’all please safely dispose of it at my house? I have a lot of holiday baking to do.”

“Next they’ll recall beef that might contain cow,” another chimed in.

Another person quipped: “If you need to government to tell you that butter is a dairy product then…well, I can’t help you  God I loathe the state.”

“To be called ‘Butter’ it must contain milk or milk derivatives. Talk about useless government,” another unamused X user piled on.

While butter, which is made by churning milk, is low in lactose, people who are allergic to milk are likely to have a bad reaction to it. The CDC notes in the recall that milk is one of the main foods that “account for most serious allergic reactions in the United States.” 

Peeved social media users slammed the so-called problem and called out Costco for the waste. 

“Rather than waste 80,000 pounds of butter why don’t they print stickers that say “Contains Milk” and save perfectly good food? So wasteful,” one person said.

The FDA did not say if there has been any illnesses or adverse reactions from the product. 

Just think about how many cows and how many cow farts it will take to replace all that butter. The FDA should be sued by the Climate Hysteria media.

European Politics > Germany's coalition government collapses

 

Germany’s coalition crumbles,

Scholz ignores calls for snap elections

By Kirsten Grieshaber  The Associated Press

After Germany’s government coalition collapsed in a dramatic fashion when Chancellor Olaf Scholz fired Finance Minister Christian Lindner of the pro-business Free Democrats, Scholz said he would lead the country with a minority government, despite calls from opposition leaders on Thursday for early elections.

The chancellor said the minority government would be made up of his Social Democrats and the Greens until early next year — even as the leader of the biggest opposition bloc in parliament, Friedrich Merz from the center-right Christian Democrats, called for an immediate no-confidence vote and new elections.

Scholz stressed again on Thursday, that he does not want to call a vote of confidence before Jan. 15.

“The citizens will soon have the opportunity to decide anew how to proceed,” the chancellor said, according to the German news agency dpa. “That is their right. I will therefore put the vote of confidence to the Bundestag at the beginning of next year.”

A meeting with Merz and Scholz at the chancellery around noontime Thursday about a possible date for the next election ended after less than an hour with Merz leaving without commenting on the talks.

Later on Thursday, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier gave fired Finance Minister Lindner and two other Free Democrats officials who had resigned — Research Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger and Justice Minister Marco Buschmann — their certificates of dismissal.

Transport Minister Volker Wissing, who is also with the Free Democrats, said that after talks with Scholz, he had decided to stay in office and instead leave the party. Scholz asked him to add the justice ministry to his portfolio.

Steinmeier also appointed Jörg Kukies, an economic adviser to Scholz, as finance minister. Agriculture Minister Cem Özdemir from the Greens agreed to take on the research ministry.

Scholz had announced late Wednesday that he would seek a vote of confidence on Jan. 15 that he said might lead to an early election, perhaps as soon as March. The vote had otherwise been due next September.

After firing his finance minister, the chancellor had accused Lindner of breaching his trust and publicly calling for a fundamentally different economic policy, including what Scholz said would be tax cuts worth billions for a few top earners while at the same time cutting pensions for all retirees.

“That is not decent,” Scholz said.

The chancellor hopes that his minority government — Scholz’s left-leaning Social Democrats with the remaining coalition partner, the environmentalist Greens — will get the support from Merz’s Christian Democrats in parliament in the coming weeks, to pass important legislation and plugging the billion-euro hole in the 2025 budget.

However, Merz on Thursday vehemently rejected Scholz’s plan to wait to hold a vote of confidence until January.

“The coalition no longer has a majority in the German Bundestag, and we therefore call on the chancellor … to call a vote of confidence immediately, or at the latest by the beginning of next week,” Merz said.

“We simply cannot afford to have a government without a majority in Germany for several months now, and then campaign for several more months, and then possibly conduct coalition negotiations for several weeks,” Merz added.

Since Scholz’s government doesn’t have a majority in parliament any longer, he would likely lose the vote. In that scenario, Germany’s president could dissolve parliament within 21 days and an early election could then be held as soon as January.

“During these 21 days, we will have enough time to find out whether there are any issues that we may have to decide on together,” Merz said, offering his party’s cooperation with the minority government. “We are, of course, prepared to hold talks … we are also prepared to take responsibility for our country.”

Achim Wambach from the Leibniz Center for European Economic Research cast doubt that a prolonged period with a minority government would help Germany’s economy get back on track.

“Germany’s problems are too big to tolerate political gridlock,” the analyst said.

“The government set out to reconcile the transformation towards climate neutrality with economic growth and social security,” Wambach added. “It has not lived up to this claim. The economy is stagnating and investments are failing to materialize.”

“This daunting task was compounded by geo-economic tensions: wars in Europe and the Middle East as well as economically damaging interventions through tariffs and national subsidy policies,” he added. “ The election of Donald Trump has exacerbated these problems. Europe must do more for its security and will have to reckon with increased tariffs.”

The collapse of the coalition came after weeks of disputes among the coalition partners over ways to boost the country’s ailing economy.

Lindner’s pro-business Free Democrats had rejected tax increases or changes to Germany’s strict self-imposed limits on running up debt. Scholz’s Social Democrats and the Greens wanted to see major state investment and rejected the Free Democrats’ proposals to cut welfare programs.

Which means Germany will continue to be the main attraction in Europe for economic migrants from Islam.

European Politics > The Netherlands to enact border controls for 6 months

 

Netherlands to implement land border controls

from Dec. 9

NL Times

Monday, 11 November 2024 - 16:18

The Dutch government announced that new border controls aimed at addressing "irregular migration and human trafficking" will start on December 9. The Marechaussee will conduct these checks for a period of six months, confirmed Asylum Minister Marjolein Faber on Monday.

Despite the fact that official asylum figures have fallen sharply in recent months, the Cabinet claimed an influx of asylum seekers prompted the government to enact the measure. Under European Union rules, member states can reintroduce temporary border controls only in urgent or unforeseen situations.

Faber said the policy intends to limit the free movement of people and goods across European borders, though it will aim to minimize disruptions to economic traffic and commuters.

The Marechaussee is the branch of the Dutch military tasked with policing the country’s borders. Faber indicated the government would not add personnel to support these border efforts.

The Marechaussee currently conducts limited spot inspections along borders, but this initiative aligns with heightened controls in other EU nations, including Germany and France, aimed at countering terrorism and illegal immigration.

Faber promptly notified Brussels and other EU member states of the decision to comply with the required four-week notice period before implementing border controls. Airport inspections will target only high-risk flights to limit impacts on routine travel and trade.
