An interesting observation by the author of this article, comparing the solidarity and tribalism of the Muslim communities worldwide and the lack thereof amongst Western nations, which is surely to our detriment, especially the way we keep on importing more and more of these people who’s objective is to dominate us, not live peacefully alongside us.
”Why are Muslims around the world — who come from different nations, speak different languages, and have different cultures — so moved by a distant, atrocious event that presumably does not affect or involve them? Simple: because they are Muslim; or rather, because Islam is so inherently tribal that its adherents, no matter how different or apart, maintain a sense of solidarity, one that especially exults when Islam “scores a victory” against infidels, especially those perceived as mistreating Muslims. (That’s why many Muslims also celebrated after 9/11.)
Not only is such survival-of-the fittest thinking instinctively appealing, but it stands in stark contrast with Christian virtues, such as humility, which requires cultivation.
In this sense, then, when one group of Muslims strike a victory in the name of Islam, including through bloodshed and massacres, Muslims the world over become elated, because it lifts them up, due, again, to Islam’s tribalistic nature.
On the other hand, the West fails to comprehend Muslim solidarity — which dangerously goes above and beyond “cheering” — precisely because it has no sense, whatsoever, of solidarity.
For example, Westerners are taught to disavow their own heritage and history while celebrating the cultures and customs of others — a thing that no Muslim, indeed, no healthy people could ever think of, let alone actually structuring their society around such artificial principles.
Because it specifically deals with the topic currently under discussion — religious solidarity — an even more apt example concerns the absolute indifference that the vast majority of Western Christians have concerning the global persecution of their coreligionists.”
https://stream.org/when-muslims-celebrate-terror-westerners-just-shrug/
Indeed. I would love to understand where and how this trend started.
Isn’t it easily explained by faith in God? Muslims not only speak words of faith, but manifest their thoughts and words into actions, which prove they truly believe there is a higher power. The West has either completely abandoned religion – replacing it for other faiths without meaning e.g. vaccines, climate change, LGBTQFUCKOFSIPX+ (more appropriately known a -H) – or held on to it in name only. They have an understanding of the meaning of life and a rulebook to follow. We don’t. The irony being that their pursuit of heaven means they can commit and applaud the most disgusting and inhumane acts. Because, you know, God.
I’ve never been religious, but I am now pondering the possibility that the Bible is a book of moral code that presents meaning, and has historically enforced order in society – often without us understanding the roots of that order. Now, in the West, that has been abandoned. But not elsewhere.
Yes, all good points. I am not and have never been religious, but it has seemed to me for a while now that the fading of religious belief and adherence has left a void that we’ve struggled to fill.
Just as in the bible, the Koran speaks of being good and caring to your fellow man, the problem, as in most religions, is who and how it is interpretated!
When a society that has belief takes on one that has no belief, there can only by one winner.
Especially if the west gives that winner a leg up! They must think we are such an easy touch, grief, they’re laughing at the west out loud and we still protect them!
“Prepare for a fresh wave of Covid, health chiefs say”
What.?? Colds are trending upwards as we come into winter.? Why did no-one mention this before.?
Not much profit from typical over-the-counter drugs often used against common colds?
I now know of three people who say they have had covid following a recent booster. Well, more fool them for getting boosted, (and they completely fail to connect the two things!) but how do they know it’s covid? Are people really still testing themselves, and why? I didn’t even know testing was still a thing, having never tested myself (or had covid, as far as I’m aware.)
Something of a victory in my tiny little world – a colleague of mine who has always been a bit covidian mentioned he “had a cold”.
Hoorray! Have also just heard of a multi-jabbed devotee (who had Bell’s palsy after the second one) deciding that they are not going to have any more boosters or the flu jab, ‘because [they] have heard there are lots of side effects’ (deliberately anonymised, not woke!).
Turning the tide, one jabbee at a time.
Good news worth celebrating!
More good news: –

The injections are being rejected on a large scale.
Nice one WW. I’ve had a couple of similar small victories recently at work. From my own observations, it seems the ones who were most afraid of Covid are now becoming afraid of the vaccines.
Probably he’d tested himself to rule out covid before downgrading it to a cold.
Yeah maybe. I think he’d have mentioned it if he had, but perhaps he has got wind of my views and decided to leave the subject alone in my presence. I joined some call a few months ago and my team were chatting bollocks about vaccines etc and mentioned I’d not had any and I was fine. Silence. Then “you must be one of those conspiracy people”.
No doubt disappointed with the result.
I read a bunch of letters I sent to my parents in the 1970s from school and they frequently mentioned colds and flu. We’re being played big time to believe that normal seasonal ailments possibly due to a lack of Vits C and D are some big threat. Well, I know you know that but it’s interesting none-the-less. Friends (who were jabbed) and people I know have recently said they had another bout of covid but all it is, is a case of the sniffles, sore throat, feeling awful etc. Amazing that no one remembers how colder wetter weather used to affect us.
Yes…it’s amazing isn’t it?
Cold and flu cases always increase in the autumn and winter –
except…of course….in 2020/21, when flu disappeared and was miraculously replaced with COVID.
COVID, a master of disguise and duplicity…! LOL!!
I know – it was a shock last year, and the year before, and I’m sure it will be next year too. I for one miss the old days before covid when no one ever got ill during the winter and the NHS was never in crisis.
“Teacher tells Jewish students to stand in a corner, just as ‘Israel does to the Palestinians”
And some on here still say there will be no bias from Palistinian doctors towards Jewish patients? Pull the other one
…that was me Dinger..and I’ve still to see you show any evidence that any doctor has done so……other than in your head…
Plus I’d rather not jump straight into because A happened B must be true, about a whole race of people….
I will also wait to hear a little more about the above story….rather than ‘some children said…’
I can’t help what you think, and you have your opinion, but please don’t tar me or anyone else with the ‘If the paper says it, it’s true’ brush..thanks….
I’m not saying that at all so f off!
I’m afraid ‘eby’ that the world is not as cute and fair as you seem to be making yourself believe!
Out of order Dinger. No need for such obnoxious rudeness to a venerable DS member.
The clique just gets stronger doesn’t it?
Dinger..let’s not fall out…
We can have a difference of opinion..
I know there are evil people..you know nothing about me, so I assure you I have probably seen more of that than you know….
The point is, I don’t have to join them..that’s the important bit to me.
I wonder if Kevin Bass had not suffered myo-pericarditis he would still be recommending the vaccine for all? Try spotting the sentence that triggered me this morning and appears to have triggered quite a few commenters … as one says, “he still doesn’t get it” although fair play to him for writing the article – it’s a start.
Even the emergency services are becoming part of the big ev cover up! There is no one left we can trust!
No one in authority, that’s true. They’re all co-opted into the big lie with ‘orders’ coming from up high to down low.
Seems like there isn’t. Geoff Buys Cars has done a pretty thorough ‘citizen science’ analysis, funny too. Some of the comments are worth a read for further detail.

“Israel shouldn’t have had to prove that Hamas slaughtered babies”
Sorry, but I don’t do blind faith no matter who states it! The pictures ive managed to find show body bags with blood on them,they could be dead dogs for all i know! Show people the images, show the truth no matter who it may offend, the human race needs some basic realities to confront not more mollycoddling!
In some ways we could argue that it doesn’t really matter. Why should there be a spectrum of depravity? Do evil psychopaths have a limit or an off-switch? I think going by what we’ve all witnessed by now that we can safely say these Hamas barbarians are capable of anything and are a danger even to their own people, therefore should be blasted from all existence. A captured terrorist in this clip tells us what they get up to. This is how much they value human life;

No!, you don’t say!
Kevin Bass strikes me as ‘particularly dim’, for pretty obvious reasons.

98% of Americans have refused to take the new boosters. That’s a win, because they don’t work!
“they don’t work”
That depends on who defines “work.”
….Yes..it reminds me of an old meme….”mummy does the vaccines provide immunity….only to the Pharma companies darling….”
LOL!
LOL..…..the Pharma Companies must be spending billions propping up ‘awards’…(not only the Nobel)…to keep their ‘product’ in play…?

Guys. Seriously, stop being ridiculous. There’s no weird global agenda attempting to keep us all fearful slaves you conspiracy nuts.
So what if inside of three years we went from a pre-planned pandemic that attempted to lock down, mask up, and jab up every single man, woman, and child …. to murder hornets…. to racial justice riots… to monkey pox ….to an aids comeback ….to drag queens profiting off perverting children ….to an astronomical spike in overly medicated and confused transgender kids …..to a whole bunch of “unexpected” heart attacks in young healthy people after a miraculous warp-speed vaccine…. to a test run of social credit vax pass compliance apps …..to a brand new war ….. to global warming to global boiling ….to alien sightings …..to another brand new war ….into another plandemic…
THIS STUFF HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND IS PERFECTLY NORMAL…..
It’s Just life y’all, geez, settle down.
Another day, another nine stories at the top of Daily Sceptic’s News Roundup all from a pro-Israel/anti-Hamas perspective, conveniently ignoring the fact that there are very clear, practical, long-standing reasons why two million people trapped in an open-air prison called the Gaza Strip might wish to attack, kill, and take hostages among the people they identify as their jailers. An entire generation of young Palestinians have grown up under a brutal, de-humanizing occupation, and they are ready to risk their lives in this struggle. I expect nothing more than one-sided propaganda from the mainstream media, but I had hoped, perhaps naively, that a web site that prides itself on “questioning everything”, might at least stand up for the rights of those in different countries to express different opinions on this topic, and possibly even allow some of those opinions to be heard here. If Glenn Greenwald can do it, why can’t The Daily Sceptic?
The lack of nuanced coverage is depressing. It’s should not be a question of taking sides but understanding what’s behind all this. I’d like references to discussions such as the one I’m just listening to between Bret Weinstein and Efrat Fenigson at

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/14/new-zealand-election-2023-results-national-party-labour-
New Zealand voters have delivered a forceful rejection of the Labour government as a surge in support for the National party delivered what analysts described as a “bloodbath” for the government and a new right-leaning era for politics in the country.
The result marked a dramatic change in fortunes for the Labour party, which three years earlier – led by Jacinda Ardern – secured a historic mandate, but saw its support dwindle in the face of rising living costs and the Covid pandemic.
Speaking to a large crowd of party-faithful at his election night event in Auckland, National party leader Christopher Luxon said his party was on course to form the next government with libertarian party Act. “All over this country you have reached for hope and you have voted for change,” Luxon said.
“…you have voted for change,” Luxon said.”
I would say we are at the wait and see point.
Agree. The Weffers are good at clinging on to power and not changing one bit.
