Powerful gangs use surge of migrants as recruits for dirty work
Germany’s Berlin police are raising the alarm that local Arab crime gangs are using incoming migrants as recruits to escalate their activities.
The surge of over one million asylum seekers has provided the gangs with expendable muscle, police warn.
According to Daily Mail:
Known in the media as Berlin’s ‘clans’, whose founders themselves fled war in Lebanon in the 1980s, they have long controlled much of the city’s illegal drugs trade, street prostitution and protection rackets.
Now police warn that the clans have sought out new members from among the more than one million asylum seekers who have arrived in Germany since mid-2015, half of them from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
The clans ‘are trying to get others to do the dirty work’ such as selling drugs or committing small burglaries, said Benjamin Jendro of the GDP police union.

Syrian-born US father accused of Lockerbie 'bomber' is discovered living in Washington DC suburb
A man suspected of planting the Lockerbie bomb has been discovered living in a suburban town in Washington DC under a different name.
Once allegedly identified as Abu Elias, the Syrian-born American father claimed it was 'complete lies' that he was involved in the terror attack that killed 270 people 30 years ago.
Elias hit out at former Cold War spy and author Douglas Boyd who claimed Libyan Abdelbaset al-Megrah - the man convicted of the attack - was falsely imprisoned.
And the suspect, who lives 20 miles from the Lockerbie Cairn Memorial at Washington, told the Daily Mirror he was innocent.

Song ignites 200-person brawl at Virginia skating rink, witnesses say
A Virginia roller skating rink erupted into chaos over the weekend after 200 teenagers and some adults began brawling.
And witnesses say the massive fight was sparked by, of all things, a song.
Roanoke Police were called to the Star City Skate Center just before 1 a.m. Sunday. They encountered around 200 teenagers and some adults fighting, the Roanoke Times reported. There were even reports of shots fired but police couldn’t confirm them and found no victims or suspects.
Two witnesses, including a 13-year-old, told WFXR that a song came on and sparked local gang tension in the crowd, with many throwing up gang signs. Reports offered no information about what song was specifically involved.
But one witness claims to have seen at least one individual holding a handgun, WFXR reported.
According to WFXR, no arrests have been made but the case remains under investigation.

U.S. Stocks Just Had Their Best Day Ever – And Here Is Why That Is A REALLY Bad Sign…
The Dow Jones Industrial Average just posted its biggest single day point gain ever
The Dow Jones Industrial Average just posted its biggest single day point gain ever.
On Wednesday, the Dow shot up 1,086 points, which shattered the old record by a staggering 150 points. It truly was a remarkable day, and this is the sort of “Santa Claus rally” that investors had been hoping for. Many are convinced that this rally is an indication that the crisis of the last three months is over, but as you will see below, this sort of extreme volatility is actually a really bad sign. But for the moment, the mainstream media is pushing the narrative that everything is once again peachy keen in the financial world. Just consider the following quote from CNN…

Delusional: Hillary Clinton Issues Christmas Message With White House Photo
Hillary is dreaming of a White House Christmas.

“Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating today!” she tweeted, along with a photo of Bill about to embrace a woman, presumably Chelsea.
Clinton has left the door open to a potential third run for the White House.
In October, Hillary admitted, “I’d like to be president.”

Trump: Schumer and Pelosi MUST fund his wall because most employees hit by shutdown are Democrats
Donald Trump said Thursday afternoon that his dispute with Democrats isn't actually about a border wall — it's about their refusal to give him a victory.
He predicted that he'd be the one to come out on top, though, when he's back on the ballot in 2020.
'This isn’t about the Wall, everybody knows that a Wall will work perfectly (In Israel the Wall works 99.9%). This is only about the Dems not letting Donald Trump & the Republicans have a win,' he proclaimed. 'They may have the 10 Senate votes, but we have the issue, Border Security. 2020!'
The president spent the afternoon haranguing Democrats for the 'stupidity' that he said was driving them to oppose his strategy for keeping out illegal immigrants via a wall that he says he needs at least $5 billion to finish.
'They don’t have much to campaign on, do they? An Open Southern Border and the large scale crime that comes with such stupidity!' he wrote in one of several tweets that he sent over a three-hour period.

Liberal Billionaire Apologizes For Funding Russian Bot ‘False Flag’ — But Questions Remain Unanswered
Billionaire Reid Hoffman apologized Wednesday for funding an effort to dupe Alabama voters into believing Russian bots were fueling Republican Roy Moore’s failed senatorial bid. But he left crucial questions unanswered.
His statement left several important facts about the so-called experiment unaddressed, including a detailed accounting of everyone involved in the caper, as well who crafted and executed the campaign. The effort was the subject of a closed-door presentation in Washington, D.C., to a group of liberal technology experts, The Washington Post reported, citing anonymous sources.
“I find the tactics that have been recently reported highly disturbing,” Hoffman said in his statement. “For that reason, I am embarrassed by my failure to track AET — the organization I did support — more diligently as it made its own decisions to perhaps fund projects that I would reject.”

Black Marriott exec compared to Buckwheat, told dance to Michael Jackson racial discrimination suit
A black former sales executive for Marriott Vacations Worldwide is suing the company, alleging a picture of Little Rascals' character Buckwheat, was used to represent him during a team building exercise.
In a lawsuit, Daryl Robinson, who started working for the company in February 2017 selling time shares on properties, says he was the only African-American in his office. He claims he was asked to dance to Michael Jackson for entertainment during company meetings, according to NBC News.
Robinson says in one instance, the director of sales complimented the staff saying
'we have a good looking crew,' and then looked to him saying 'Daryl looks ready to breakdance.'
Robinson said his coworkers laughed and he was 'completely humiliated, dejected and felt completely defeated.'
In the team building exercise, the employees were told to bring in photos of themselves as babies to test how well they know each other.

The War On Trump Is All About Keeping Liberals And Their Lackeys In Power
And this year ends with our loser ruling class shedding any pretense of legitimacy in its quest to reclaim the power we took back from it in 2016. The reaction to Donald Trump by our alleged betters - SPOILER: They are much, much worse than us - is instructive. They have abandoned all the principles they once claimed to support - democracy, civil rights, due process, and equality. None of those principles help them to keep or regain power anymore, so they are expendable. As are you.
Liberalism was always a lie and a scam, right from its sordid beginnings among the progressives with their creepy messianic fervor, their infatuation with “expertise” (and hence, their embrace of evils like eugenics), and their contempt for the Constitution. Liberals consider themselves the anointed, divinely entitled to rule over us lesser folk, and they aren’t going to let anything get in the way of retaking the throne.
And this time, they mean never to give it up again.
Remember democracy? Yeah, I know this is a republic, but the word “democracy” is established as shorthand for the idea that every citizen should be able to participate in his/her/xir own governance so I’m using it that way (and yeah, I know modern liberals are nothing like classical liberals. Just stop.).

Bacteria Found in Dirt Stops Growth of SuperBugs Resistant to Antibiotics
Ancient soil historically known to have healing properties
Researchers analyzing soil from Ireland long thought to have medicinal properties have discovered that it contains a previously unknown strain of bacteria which is effective against four of the top six superbugs that are resistant to antibiotics, including MRSA.
Antibiotic-resistant superbugs could kill up to 1.3 million people in Europe by 2050, according to recent research.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) describes the problem as “one of the biggest threats to global health, food security, and development today”.

Three men charged in 2017 deadly mass shooting at bogus gender reveal party
Three men have been arrested in connection to a 2017 shooting in Ohio that left one woman dead and eight people wounded at a gender reveal party for another woman who had faked her pregnancy.
A grand jury earlier this month indicted 28-year-old Roshawn Bishop, 23-year-old James Echols and 21-year-old Michael Sanon on 22 criminal counts, including murder, aggravated robbery and cruelty to animals, leading to their arrests this week.
The gunfire that erupted on July 8, 2017, at a home in Colerain Township, about 20 miles northwest of Cincinnati, killed Autum Garrett, a 22-year-old mother-of-two from Andrews, Indiana.

Nearly Half of Student Loans “in Distress”
Student loan debt has grown to over $1.5 trillion.
And that just accounts for loans held by Federal Student Aid. It doesn’t include private loans. Meanwhile, the Department of Education says 43% of those government-backed loans are considered “in distress.”
In a speech last month, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos put the current level of student debt in perspective.
“One-point-five trillion dollars is almost impossible to fathom. So, let me put it this way: $1.5 trillion is more than $10,000 of someone else’s student loan debt for each and every American taxpayer—145 million of them.”
Most people saddled with this debt aren’t paying it off. According to DeVos, fewer than a quarter of student loan borrowers are paying down their principal. Most are simply making interest payment — if they are paying anything at all. Nearly 20% of all loans are delinquent or in default. That’s seven times the rate of delinquency on credit card debt, according to DeVos. Nearly 43% of all loans are currently considered “in distress.”
For many borrowers, their debt is actually increasing over time. CNBC provides this anecdotal case.
