Blog: Police in Norway proclaim 'Oslo is lost'


Gronland is a district in Oslo, Norway, very close to Parliament.  Per a Poqari News report, the area looks like “Karachi, Basra, and Mogadishu all rolled into one.”  The situation has devolved to such a point that the police in Gronland have declared: “Oslo is lost.”

Gronland’s been on track to join the caliphate for a while.  A little over two years ago, Muslims in Gronland were pushing for it to become part of the Islamic State.

Poqari News reports that Norway (and all of Europe) is no longer recognizable as such, that women are routinely raped, men are robbed on a regular basis, the police have given up, and there are sharia patrols.

In 2015, there were 50 rape reports filed in Gronland, where, like all of Oslo, 100% of rapes of native Norwegian women by strangers are committed by Muslims.  Across Norway, as with all of Europe, women dare not go out at night alone, the risk of rape is so incredibly high.

Also in 2015, robberies in Gronland averaged one a day.  In the past ten years, more than 4,000 people have been robbed, often right near the Gronland police station, which is in an immigrant ghetto.

When the police visited one of Gronland’s latest victims, who was assaulted, held hostage, and robbed, they told him they had no way of stopping the robberies.  “We have lost the city,” they said.

We are witnessing the wholesale collapse of Europe due to self-destructive decisions and a lack of any will to defend the homeland – a defense that wouldn’t be necessary if they hadn’t let the barbarians in.  But they let them in.  And they just can’t stop.

Europe has become addicted to its self-inflicted demise.  Who would have guessed needless guilt would go that far?

Is there any hope?  I suppose there’s always hope.  But things look grim.

That source looks totally unreliable, it's like an opinion piece masquerading as fact. For a start, the author says that women across all of Europe are too scared to go outside in case they get raped or caught by sharia patrols. Umm no, that is bullshit.

I don't know who the fuck "Poqari News" are, because the only references I can find on google are copied from this article. And the 100% muslim rape figures are meaningless without context, they're just put in to shock dumb people who don't understand statistics. The 100% could have been a single incident, with 49 rapes committed by non-strangers.

Sorry to rant in your thread, I don't necessarily disagree with the topic, but I feel journalism like this is both lazy and dangerous.

It's like, whose property is the body? If the body belongs as property to a relative, say a husband or wife or parent or child, they might want to take ownership. If they make a claim against you, you better not have any witnesses.

Of course, if you're a guy, and if the dead guy you ate has a beautiful wife, and she makes a claim for the body, maybe she has to take you, since you are all that is left of her husband's body.

Haha, some film-maker should make a comedy about this, it would be hilarious.

Well, if you're trapped in a wildlands and got no food other than someone you dont know besides you, I rather eat him/her then.

Better to die together trying to survive than increasing your life by a few days of torture. Imo it is still a crime and the person doing it has no excuses.

I don't think anyone's suggesting murdering people to eat, are they?

I don't see a problem with eating an already dead person to survive, but killing someone for food seems a bit harsh.  Cheesy

I really hope these flat earthers are fucking trolling, you have to be a complete moron or unable to see curves to think that the earth is flat, by the way, even in those photos can't you see that the outer lines are curved? Are you just really that fucking stupid?



Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people on here are paid trolls. If I was dependent on the current banking monopoly, then it makes sense to install trolls into a forum like this, to discredit the Bitcoin movement and give the idea that it is a community full of paranoid crazies.

However, there are many crazy people here who I don't think are trolls, so you just have to make your own mind up I guess... I mean notbatman seems like a troll, but maybe he's just mentally ill?

If Earth is flat why ships that come from sea towards port seem to climb up from horizon? Or why planes seem to
land behind horizon when moving away from my position?

I've witnessed this many times by myself. Have NWO put some kind of a hoax rendering machine in my binoculars?  Smiley
Is my local binocular shop part of the NWO round earth conspiracy?

Please flat earth intellectuals answer me!  Smiley

It's called perspective Google it and learn how it works. Search for "perspective vanishing point" to get you started.

Right, so perspective makes some parts of objects disappear (the hull of the ship), but other parts stay visible (the masts/upper decks of the ship)?

What you're describing is not perspective, it is some sort of magic.

I painted some straight lines on the image to show that the apparent curve of the Earth in this image could NOT have been produced by a wide angle lens.

As you can see, the yellow straight lines show that the "robot arm" type assembly is dead straight, and the blue lines show the same for the other structure. If the curve of the Earth was produced with a wide angle lens, then these two structures would also be distorted - They are plainly not, or at least not to the same extent as the backgorund. Lenses aren't magic, they affect everything in the frame at the same point in the frame in the same way.

Also, if the Earth is flat, then why do we see the same landmarks pass the ISS camera every time it orbits? You could quite easily work out with maths the speed/inclination of the orbit from the video stream, and predict when the same landmark would reappear.



Of course, now people will probably stop talking about fish eye lenses, and just say "yeah well, you need to wake up, the whole thing is CGI anyway, so there!"

If you’re stupid enough to kill someone else. You deserve to die. No argument needed. If there is enough evidence that proves you are the murderer. You deserve a death penalty. People take things for granted now-a-days. Thinking they can get away with killing innocent people. The everyday families that have to suffer the loss of a loved one due to stupid people wiling to kill in order to prove a point to “the gang” or “the homies”. Well your stupid self deserves death. You get what you give. And if what you give is death. You shall receive.

What you say is all well in theory, but the greyer areas are the problem. People make snap decisions and sometimes make the wrong one, doesn't always mean they should be killed.

Even though I believe some horrific murderers/rapists should probably be put to death, I don't support the death penalty for a few reasons:

A. The justice system is not infallible. Mistakes can, and do happen. At least if someone is in prison you can release them. You can't bring a dead guy back to life.

B. It's obvious that introducing the death penalty doesn't change peoples likelihood of committing crimes. Just look at the murder rates of some of he southern American states that use the death penalty. People don't consider the punishment when they're not even contemplating getting caught.

C. I think it's morally wrong for one human to have society's permission to kill another. Can't justify this one really, I just feel it's detrimental for society to have a system such as this.

Do I think some people should be wiped off the face of the Earth? Yes.
Do I believe such a law could be fairly implemented and enforced? No.

On our flat Earth, when the sun is directly overhead here in Sandwich, IL, which countries around the plane are experiencing nighttime

As you can see from the map below the Sun is never directly overhead within the continental United States.




I think people have already asked this, but how does the Sun appear to set below the horizon if it is circling above the Flat Earth in this way? If this diagram was true, then the Sun would never appear to set, it would be in the sky all the time.

Also, how does this account for different periods of daylight/darkness? For example, we know that you experience 24hrs of daylight in the Arctic circle in Summer, while Antarctica experiences 24hrs of darkness at the same time.

These are just 2 of the many issues with the Flat Earth model, and I'm always surprised that flat-earthers don't seem to be able to explain them. The globe model solves them easily.

This is the explanation on the website:

Quote
Spotlight effect

The Sun's area of light is limited to a circular area of light upon the earth much like the light of a lighthouse is limited to a finite circular area around it. The rotating light on a lighthouse does not propagate infinitely into the distance. This means that only certain portions of the Earth are lightened at a time. It also describes how night and day arise on the Flat Earth. The apparent view of rising and setting are caused by perspective, just as a flock of birds overhead will descend into the horizon as it flies into the distance.

They seem to be sneakily re-writing the laws of physics with this, because it makes no logical sense. A spotlight sun would cause major problems in terms of specific areas having strange amounts of daylight/darkness. And their explanation of "perspective/vanishing point" being responsible is simply wrong - anything 3,000 miles above the Earth can never appear to drop beneath the horizon, it's primary school physics.

Not to mention that the whole theory would require such an astronomical cover-up, it defies logic. The vast majority of scientific institutions would have to be involved, along with schools and universities. Not to mention pretty much every commercial airline company, plane manufacturer and every plane pilot, and even amateur astronomers. We're talking at least 10 million people, probably more.

It's at this point that most rational people allow their throats to be slit by Occam's Razor, but not the Flat Earthers apparently...

why should it not work? terrorism is done by muslims so fewer muslims = less terrorism

I think your interpretation is too simplistic. Regardless of what you think of muslims, don't you think that divisive attitudes like this could increase radicalisation in muslim communities, along with sympathy for what the terrorists want?

I'm not saying that the terrorists are right or anything, but it seems very short-sighted to want to ban 1.6 billion people from your country because of the actions of a few thousand. I would expect the 1.599 billion who don't want to blow you up wouldn't agree, and some of them might actually decide they do want to blow you up now, for being a dick (not you personally, the West).

Blanket bans tend to have many unforeseen consequences, just look at the drug war. I don't think things are as black & white as you believe.

Weren't you the guy who made the "AMA about conspiracies" thread? No offense buddy, but you really need to be careful of confirmation bias in your "research", and you need to check your sources a little more thoroughly. While this device is a (very slim) possibility, perhaps you should be a little more skeptical.

I mean there are HUGE alarm bells here, eg. the site doesn't explain how it works, it just says "pulls energy from the wheelwork of nature". Uhhhh, OK.

I found another quote where he says: "I think what might be happening is that we are splitting time." Hmmm.

I'm calling this an obvious scam for now, there's literally no evidence that this works, not to mention the CEO obviously knows nothing about physics and all of his public demos have failed. Apparently he blamed one of the failures on "hot stage lights".

593  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trump says what everyone is thinking, demands ban on Muslim immigration on: December 08, 2015, 03:49:08 PM
This is an interesting development.

I've thought from the beginning that Trump could be a sort of unaware actor, installed in the presidential campaign to make the other Republicans look more tolerant, and subsequently more likely to be voted in. I'm not suggesting a full blown conspiracy, just that a few people in power may have done some favours earlier on in his campaign, with this as an ulterior motive.

But I think he's been doing a lot better than anyone predicted, as the Canadian in South Park said:

"By the time we were ready to say, "OK, let’s get serious now, who should really be president", he was already being sworn into office. We weren't paying attention!"

The guy is a fucking moron, that much is clear. Whether he understands the stupidity of this latest statement, or actually believes it would work, is anyone's guess. What he's essentially doing is playing on the idea that most of his fuckwitted electorate don't really understand much about terrorists or Muslims, and giving them an easy to digest chunk of black & white legislation to get excited about.

I firmly believe that this shit actually shows that the terrorists are winning. Ridiculous statements like this will increase divisions between Muslim/Christian relations, give the terrorists more reasons to blow people up, and increase the likelihood of people sympathising/joining them.

Well, that's certainly possible, but the study's a bit ambiguous IMO. Would you see similar results if you replaced "God" with "Aliens" or "Ghosts"?
I don't think that peoples' emotional response from something is necessarily related to their belief in it.

Also bear in mind that most atheists don't claim 100% that there is no god, just that the evidence for a god is not strong enough to logically take a position of belief for one.

The researchers used two scanning techniques, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), to examine the corpus callosum, the largest region of white matter, in the brains of 56 patients who had reported a first episode of psychosis, and 43 healthy volunteers from the local community.

So this is the main issue with this study, the group of 56 patients had already reported episodes of psychosis. It's possible that the damage may have resulted from the psychosis itself, or that the cell damage makes it more likely that someone will smoke cannabis in the first place. So there's no strong evidence of causality.

Still a very interesting study, hopefully it will open a new avenue of marijuana research. I doubt it's a cancer-curing wonder drug like some believe, but it has already shown usefulness in treating cancer/chemo side effects and many other things, I'm sure it's got many more surprises up its sleeve.

Is Cameron planning to attack ISIS, or just using that as a pretext to attack the Syrian government? And even if the plan is to attack ISIS, is bombing the Middle East even more going to help? I'm not saying force won't be needed to handle IS, but doing that without dealing with why it came to be in the first place is counterproductive. Bombing them and letting Turkey, Saudi Arabia and others continue to fund extremists, will make it likely some other group comes up after ISIS. And not rebuilding neighboring societies and their economies ensures there is always a pool of people desperate enough to join them as soldiers.


Exactly, Corbyn wants to get rid of ISIS just as much as Cameron. He just thinks that indiscriminate air strikes may not be the best option, and may in fact be counterproductive to the safety of the UK. I'm inclined to agree with him.

After all, are most terrorist attacks are carried out by native radicalised muslims, not terrorists fighting abroad. I wouldn't be surprised if bombing Syrian targets will result in more home-grown muslim extremists.

Unfortunately too many people (like saddampbuh) think that we can just bomb our problems away and everything will be OK again. The history of the relations between many Middle Eastern countries and the West suggests otherwise.

Fallout 3 Opening Scenes

In the opening scenes of Fallout 3 in Vault 101 (I started the game again yesterday) within the first 5 minutes there are potential indications of a satanic pattern (wolf in sheeps clothing).

In the first scene as you leave your playpen as a child there is a quote from the book of Revelation, I am the Alpha and Omega (nothing extrordinary in this) except actually there is a rock band called Alpha and Omega who published a song called Devils Bed - http://music.6131records.com/track/devils-bed

Within a few moments to a transported to the age of 16, what happens when you turn 16, well you have to go into a "classroom" and sit what is called the G.O.A.T (goat test), as we know Baphoment is the satanic goat. So it implies in the game, at the age of 16, the G.O.A.T decides your future based on a set of questions and answers.

These are just two things within the first 20 minutes of starting the game.

Like I said view with an open mind, the games industry has more power and influence than the film industry and makes more money on big titles than films, so what would be the natural progression for propoganda and mind manipulation.



Your problem is you think all your findings are part of some master plan, when in fact they're almost certainly coincidental.

You say that nothing is a coincidence because you find it more comforting to believe that the world is under control by unseen forces, rather than accept the reality that shit happens. For no particular reason.

For example, you imply that literature/games are under illuminati control and are forecasting some apocalypse, but it's far more likely that this type of media is attractive to people simply because of its escapist subject matter. People like to play games that let them explore a fantasy world, especially if said fantasy world is relatable in some way to their real dreary lives, like in the Fallout games. That's why games like this exist - they sell.

Also, these types of theories don't make logical sense to me, because why would the Illuminati leave clues about their plans? If they were as clever as everyone says, then they would concentrate on actually enslaving mankind, rather than wasting their time leaking parts of their plan so they can laugh at us behind our backs.

Anyway I'm off to slay some Deathclaws, have fun in here guys!

All wars revolve around a fight between good and evil. Most of the time the fighters don't realize that the REAL fight is between the forces of good and evil in the heavenly realms, and that the fight on earth is simply the earthly part of the good vs. evil fight.

No individual has ever been prosecuted for using a cracked version of Windows, only businesses or people who try and sell illegal copies.

Not saying it's the best idea, just saying that instability/updates are the main problem, you won't get sent to prison or fined.

I've never paid for Windows.
Not entirely true. Although they are not aggressive about this and see it more as a conversion tool, I (partially) agree. However, you will be flagged by (at least) your ISP. In case you decide to get something from a company that is fighting piracy then it will be easier to find and prosecute you. I have both, pirated and original Windows. If one can attain it at a good price then there's no need to pirate (sometimes the offers are quite great).

Interesting. It seems likely however, that this case is someone selling copies of Windows/PCs with Windows pre-installed. They mention "a number" of product key activations - I bet this number is not "1", otherwise they would probably say "1".
