Iceland has a bill up for vote to ban mutilating baby boys because "muh tradition". If it passes Iceland will be the first European country to ban cutting off 1/3 of the skin off a boy's penis hours after birth without anesthesia because sick assholes like the way it looks. The fact that laws banning cosmetic surgery for babies haven't already been universally accepted decades ago is testament to the degeneracy that still exists within the West.
All the news not mystical or urban enough for page 1

Airplane Emergency Landing
This is perhaps the most important news story of the year, maybe the decade. Transavia Airlines Flight HV6902 from Dubai to Amsterdam had to make an emergency landing in Vienna because one passenger refused to stop farting.
The as-of-yet unnamed passenger was confronted by two irate passengers regarding his incessant farting, but he ignored them and kept on farting. The two irate passengers told the flight crew who promptly did nothing. A fight broke out on the plane and the pilot was forced to make an emergency landing. The farting man was allowed to stay on the plane, but the two men involved in the fight and two women were kicked off. The two women claim to have been in the wrong place at the wrong time and that they had nothing to do with the fight. The four people, two of whom may be totally innocent, have been banned from Transavia Airlines.
Take a moment to let that sink in. Someone grounded a plane by farting too much. Can you imagine how much gas one ass must contain to force a pilot to make an emergency landing? Can you further imagine the total incompetence of the flight crew that they kicked innocent people off the plane and banned them for life? These are the latter days, folks.

Democracy: The God That Failed
Hans-Hermann Hoppe explains why democracy does not work, so to speak. This isn't exactly news, but it does fit in with the general political theme of the news section.

Christmas Music Sucks
Christmas songs suck.
If you go outside around more than 4 people from the beginning of November until the end of December you will hear Christmas songs and likely nothing but Christmas songs. The problem with Christmas songs is that once you remove all the songs about Jesus, who is persona non grata in today's atheist society, there are all of 7 Christmas songs left. And you've heard all of them. And they all sound the same. And those same 7 songs are played on continuous loop for two months until you start to envy the deaf.
All 7 Christmas songs are shit. They're bullshit designed to make money. Every pop star for the past 60 years has known that producing a Christmas album is guaranteed to make tons of money, because even though EVERYONE has heard all 7 Christmas songs a thousand times, like an Alzheimer's patient, people need to buy the new album that contains the exact same 7 Christmas songs just because a different person sings them. As if they've never heard those songs before.
Why does Christmas exist? It's not to sell garbage to rich people who don't need any more garbage. CHRISTmas exists because of Jesus Christ. Sure, the date is wrong, but Christmas exists to celebrate the birth of Christ. In the modern atheist dystopia people are afraid to offend the one or two percent of extremely vocal atheists and Muslims who see Christmas as haram, we have to create a neopagan alternative to the birth of Christ, and all that's left is making money. Take a listen to all 7 Christmas songs that the big five networks play. They're all about money and materialism. It's a not so subtle subliminal message to get people to spend money on worthless garbage that no one needs or wants. People will buy $400 worth of shit and then, at the checkout counter admit to the clerk that they don't know why they bought all that shit. America gave up producing anything (except cardboard and US Dollars) decades ago, so I have no idea where all these people get this much money to buy garbage. They have to be using credit, which feeds the globalist banksters insatiable hunger for debt.
If we remember Christ more, even if you don't believe, just take his message to heart. We're not suffering from a lack of novelty sweaters, useless gadgets that get put in the garage after a week, and cheaply made toys the Chinese fill with lead, we're suffering from a lack of compassion. Imagine how much better life would be if instead of spending $400 on gifts for people you hate to satisfy your own ego, people spent that money on helping the poor. THAT is what Christmas should be about, not consumerism.

Why We Should Get Out of Afghanistan
What is the solution to the war in Afghanistan? What does victory look like? Especially if we disregard nation building?
Would empire be considered nation building? Is empire worth the cost?
We know there are rare earth minerals in abundance in Afghanistan, and China is eying them fiercely. There are also unspecified, and largely unexplored, quantities of oil and natural gas. China at the moment is undergoing the most rapid growth of any country in history. To fuel that growth they need to artificially suppress the value of their currency to create massive amounts of debt to fund construction, and they need more raw materials than everyone else in the world combined. China is gobbling up de facto colonies left and right, in Africa and central Asia and in the Pacific. They are working on building a major highway with Pakistan to facilitate trade, and may expand construction into Afghanistan given the chance.
The United States does not operate that way. The United States hasn't taken one drop of Iraqi oil, multinational monopolies who owe no allegiance to anyone have. Some political cronies like Halliburton have benefited, as have the arms manufacturers like Boeing and Raytheon. The only benefit for the US itself, geopolitically, of including Afghanistan into an American empire would be to keep China from getting its hands on Afghan resources, and good luck with that.
If not to reap economic reward from permanent occupation of Afghanistan why stay? It may be because the US has gotten itself into a no-win situation.
If the US cuts and runs then it faces two potential problems:
1. The power vacuum would result in another Afghan Civil War like when the USSR pulled out in 89. Seven years of fighting saw the rise of the Taliban, a brutal, repressive, Islamist theocracy. The Taliban most likely would resume power within a few years, many tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people would die. Islamist groups like Al Qaeda might be given a platform to plan future attacks on the US like 9/11.
2. The US stands to lose face globally by permitting #1 to occur.
The solution to #1 is very simple, secure America's borders at home and forget about the situation abroad. Afghanistan is not a border checkpoint for entry into the US, nor should it be. US intelligence knew about the 9/11 terrorists prior to the attacks, and internal bureaucracy, or stupidity, or inertia, or take your pick prevented any US agencies from acting. As long as the US secures its borders, as long as the US vets people coming in from terror hot spots, the probability of another attack decreases dramatically. It is entirely possible to prevent terror attacks at home, with no presence abroad.
There may be no solution to #2, but that may not be a problem. If the goal is to make America safe and prosperous then why should anyone care about US image abroad? Does China care about how the world views the tens of millions of slave labourers it has, or the lakes of poisonous slag from unsafe mining, or the clouds of noxious smog from its coal fired power plants? Does China care about its image when it extends its reach into the South China Sea, absorbing islets and reefs right off the coast of the Philippines? Of course not. China does what it wants, when it wants, for the benefit of China, and doesn't give a damn about what the world thinks.
But no one cares what China does? The US is different. The US has a "moral responsibility" to police the world and fight for whatever nonsense "values" the EU or Canada says the US has an obligation to fight for.
Actually, no. The US only has a responsibility to itself, just like China does. By embracing the Chinese model of not giving a damn about its reputation, the US government can actually help the American people, economically and in terms of security. What are we gaining from being in Afghanistan? Thousands of lives lost and hundreds of billions of dollars wasted on a pointless war. The war has been going on for so long that no one wants to admit it's pointless, so more lives and money are sent into the trash to keep the system going.
What does the US lose by pulling out of Afghanistan? Nothing. If we secure the border at home then the terrorists won't be able to launch attacks from their mountain fastness in Crapistan, and the world will hate us no matter what we do, so the world can just go pound sand.
Unless President Trump is playing 49-dimensional ninja chess and has some top secret strategy to achieve absolute victory and turn Afghanistan into Dollywood in under a year hidden somewhere up his sleeves, then the best policy is simply to bug out and call it even.

Jim Marrs In Memoriam
Investigative journalist and author Jim Marrs has died recently at the age of 73. Marrs had written the New York Times bestselling book Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy, laying out the evidence for all the people within the deep state who wanted to kill the President. That book would become a major influence on Oliver Stone's film JFK. Marrs also investigated other conspiracies, involving psychic spies, UFOs, and 9/11.
It seems frequent that when an entertainer dies, when a clown dies, millions mourn as if they knew the person directly, but so few seem to morn when someone important like a surgeon or firefighter dies. Jim Marrs was one of those important people who dedicated his life to telling truth to power and challenging the deep state. He will be deeply missed.
