via Pam Geller: It is virtually all young fit men. It’s an army. The women are left to fight while Muslim men invade Europe.
Nickelsdorf, Austria is drowning in migrant feces and garbage in unparalleled dimensions. There is trash and excrement everywhere.
Translated from Unzen Suriert (thanks to Gateway Pundit):
When you dare to take a look at the border town of Nickelsdorf, population 1,600, you will literally be blown away: uncontrolled, illegal migrants wherever you look, and an orgy ofgarbage and feces of unparalleled dimensions.
As early as arriving at the railway station in Nickelsdorf one will notice crowds surrounding ‘Trafiks’ (slang for tobacconist). An astonishingly high number of immigrants – or migrants, want to pay with 500 Euro-bills. The Trafikant is obviously overwhelmed by this payment method, which seems to have been going on for a long while now. The customers are baffled for being rejected due to lack of change.
Everything completely filthy
Commuters of the 87 kilometers near Vienna Neustadt report, that in the until recently of hundreds of immigrants occupied Arena ‘Nova’, there also was an unusually massive burden and exposure of fecal matter, because these guests from foreign countries “went potty everywhere”. The supplied porta-potties were left “completely filthy” and unusable.
Many people in Nickelsdorf feel completely let dow by their government. “It’s like at the end of the war, back when the Wehrmacht surrendered the area east of Bruck on the Leitha to the Red Army and we were left completely defenseless at the mercy of the marauding Russians”, one man remembers the stories his grandparents told him.
Female assistants are “Christian whores”
One unsettled female voluntary helper tells that “we were continuously berated as Christian whores.” Others just don’t understand just what kinds of people were marching through the land completely uncontrolled and unregistered, with the blessing of the government: “There were the most strangest types, some way too tall Chinese, supposedly from Mongolia or similar areas, colored people in all shades – but hardy any Syrians.” The rumor that Hungary had used the chaos to empty out their prisons, is persistent.

"I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering" as the World Trade Center collapsed.

Fact-checking Trump's claim that thousands in New Jersey cheered when World Trade Center tumbled
By Lauren Carroll on Sunday, November 22nd, 2015 at 6:17 p.m.
AP
Donald Trump on Saturday tried to back away from his support for a government database to track Muslims in the United States, an idea that drew sharp rebukes from his Republican presidential rivals and disbelief from legal experts. Arguing that there are terrorist sympathizers in the United States, Donald Trump says he saw "thousands" of New Jerseyans celebrating after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
"I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down," the Republican presidential candidate said at a Nov. 21 rally in Birmingham, Ala. "And I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering."
The next day, ABC This Week host George Stephanopoulos asked Trump if he misspoke, noting that "the police say that didn't happen."
Trump -- who has said he was in his Manhattan apartment the morning of the attack -- doubled down.
"It was on television. I saw it," Trump said. "It was well covered at the time, George. Now, I know they don't like to talk about it, but it was well covered at the time. There were people over in New Jersey that were watching it, a heavy Arab population, that were cheering as the buildings came down. Not good."
We looked back at the record to see what we could find about American Muslim celebrations in New Jersey on 9/11. While we found widely broadcast video of people in Palestine celebrating, we found no evidence to back up Trump’s description of events on American soil.
Urban myth
We conducted an exhaustive search of newspaper and television transcripts on LexisNexis, looking for reports from September 2001 through December 2001 that made any mention of Muslims in New Jersey celebrating the 9/11 attacks.
Regarding Jersey City, which Trump mentioned specifically, we found two uncorroborated and unsourced mentions. Neither begins to approach the scale Trump described.
The Associated Press, on Sept. 17, 2001, described "rumors of rooftop celebrations of the attack by Muslims" in Jersey City. But the same report said those rumors were "unfounded."
The Washington Post, on Sept. 18, 2001, published an article that claimed "law enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river." The Post story includes no source for this information, and we found no evidence that any of these allegations ever stuck.
A more rampant rumor of Muslim or Arab-Americans cheering the attacks centered around nearby Paterson, N.J. But that turned out to be just a rumor, spawned by chain emails and perpetuated by shock jock Howard Stern’s radio show.
The Star-Ledger reported that as the rumors spread, "Paterson police rushed to South Main Street, the center of the city's Middle Eastern community."
"When we got there, they were all in prayer," Paterson Police Chief Lawrence Spagnola said.
Three percent of New Jersey residents are Muslim -- the highest of any state -- according to Pew Research Center. Suspected 9/11 terrorists had ties to Jersey City and Paterson. But there is no conclusive evidence that any New Jersey residents celebrated the attacks, and there is no evidence whatsoever of any demonstrations where "thousands and thousands of people" cheered.
Nor is there any evidence Trump saw these events play out in any way, be it on TV or in person. We reached out to Trump’s campaign but didn’t hear back.
What we did find are many stories of Muslims living in New Jersey speaking out against the attacks and bracing themselves for anti-Muslim backlash. For example, Paterson residents put up a banner on the city’s main street that said "The Muslim Community Does Not Support Terrorism.''
Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop responded to Trump’s statement on Twitter, saying Trump "has memory issues or willfully distorts the truth."
Our ruling
Trump said he "watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering" as the World Trade Center collapsed.
This defies basic logic. If thousands and thousands of people were celebrating the 9/11 attacks on American soil, many people beyond Trump would remember it. And in the 21st century, there would be video or visual evidence.
Instead, all we found were a couple of news articles that described rumors of celebrations that were either debunked or unproven.
Trump’s recollection of events in New Jersey in the hours after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks flies in the face of all the evidence we could find. We rate this statement Pants on Fire.
[h=1]In the first majority-Muslim U.S. city, residents tense about its future[/h]

HAMTRAMCK, MICH. — Karen Majewski was in such high demand in her vintage shop on a recent Saturday afternoon that a store employee threw up her hands when yet another visitor came in to chat. Everyone wanted to talk to the mayor about the big political news.
Earlier this month, the blue-collar city that has been home to Polish Catholic immigrants and their descendents for more than a century became what demographers think is the first jurisdiction in the nation to elect a
majority-Muslim council.
It’s the second tipping for Hamtramck (pronounced Ham-tram-ik), which in 2013 earned the distinction becoming of what appears to be the first majority-Muslim city in the United States following the arrival of thousands of immigrants from Yemen, Bangladesh and Bosnia over a decade.
In many ways, Hamtramck is a microcosm of the fears gripping parts of the country since the Islamic State’s attacks on Paris: The influx of Muslims here has profoundly unsettled some residents of the town long known for its love of dancing, beer, paczki pastries and the pope.

“It’s traumatic for them,” said Majewski, a dignified-looking woman in a brown velvet dress, her long, silvery hair wound in a loose bun.
Around her at the Tekla Vintage store, mannequins showcased dresses, hats and jewelry from the mid-20th century, and customers fingered handbags and gawked at the antique dolls that line the store, which sits across the street from Srodek’s Quality Sausage and the Polish Art Center on Joseph Campau Avenue, the town’s main drag.
Majewski, whose family emigrated from Poland in the early 20th century, admitted to a few concerns of her own. Business owners within 500 feet of one of Hamtramck’s four mosques can’t obtain a liquor license, she complained, a notable development in a place that flouted Prohibition-era laws by openly operating bars. The restrictions could thwart efforts to create an entertainment hub downtown, said the pro-commerce mayor.
And while Majewski advocated to allow mosques to issue calls to prayer, she understands why some longtime residents are struggling to adjust to the sound that echos through the city’s streets five times each day.

Couple accused of plotting a bomb attack at 'Westfield' to coincide with the tenth anniversary of 7/7 'made a video of a test run explosion in their back garden'
Mohammed Rehman, 25, who referred to himself as the 'Silent Bomber', filmed himself trying out the home-made bomb in his back garden.
He hoped he could then 'up-scale' to cause multiple fatalities, jurors heard.
He allegedly carried out at least two such tests and sent footage to his secret wife Sana Ahmed Khan who funded the purchase of ingredients for a bomb on eBay, the court heard.
The video was shown during the Old Bailey trial of the couple who are jointly charged with preparing for a terrorist attack on or around May 28 this year.
Mohammed Rehman (left), 25, and his wife Sana Ahmed Khan (right), 24, had enough bomb material to 'cause multiple fatalities' and were just days away from being able to carry out an attack, jurors were told
In the footage Rehman, 25, filmed himself trying out the home-made bomb in his back garden
In the video, voices chant 'Allahu Akbar Bismillah [God is great, in the name of God]' while someone can be heard saying 's*** man.'
There was then a loud bang and a puff of smoke while someone shouts out 'f****** hell' before the footage ends.
Rehman had also allegedly boasted to his wife of conducting a test explosion in a public park.
He messaged her saying: 'Plannin on just going n testin that thing baby at the park darling but its FREEZIN.'
+9
This chilling 'Jihadi-John style- hunting knife was uncovered in Rehman's home in Reading
+9
Rehman had drawn diagrams detailing how to make a bomb using a mobile phone, the court heard
The prosecution has said Rehman was 'intent on martyrdom' when he tweeted: 'Now I just make explosives in preparation for kuffar lol and when I've made the required amount I'll be wearing them on my chest.'
He had also trawled the internet for subjects including 'suicide bomber history', 'dying for god' and '9/11'.
Counter-terrorism officers were alerted after Rehman, whose Twitter profile picture was of Mohammed Emwazi, asked his followers for advice on which of the two targets to hit - London Underground or Westfield shopping centre, jurors were told.
On the day of the tweet, he had repeatedly trawled YouTube for material about the London bombings ahead of the 10th anniversary.
Rehman also tweeted a link to the al-Qaeda uncensored media release about the 7/7 bombings, the court heard.
Before police swooped on his Reading home, he allegedly said he had rigged up a bomb which could be triggered at the touch of a button at his bedside, saying: 'Nobody gets in the way of my Jihad.'
What officers actually found were a hunting knife commonly used by Emwazi known as 'Jihadi John' and dangerous chemicals for a massive bomb which was just days away from being completed. They have been shown to the jury.
A diagram was found showing how to make a home-made detonator using a mobile phone, a 9v battery and a fairy light.

Dangerous chemicals were being prepared for a massive bomb, which was just days away from completion
Officers seized more than 10kg of urea nitrate - a highly explosive chemical - which if detonated 'would have caused multiple fatalities in a public place', prosecutor Tony Badenoch QC said.
He told jurors: 'The evidence suggests that the London Underground may well have been on his mind as a potential target as he was particularly fixated with the events of 7/7 and he referred to Shehzad Tanweer, one of the 7/7 suicide bombers, as his "beloved predecessor".
'[He is] a highly dangerous individual who had demonstrated the capability to explode a bomb and vocalised an extreme anti-Western message.'
On July 7 2005, 52 people lost their lives and more than 770 were injured.
Rehman, 25, of Reading, and Khan, 24, also of Reading, deny preparing terrorist acts on or before May 28 this year.
The couple married on October 31, 2013 but lived separately.
Rehman has also pleaded not guilty to a charge of possessing an article for terrorist purposes.

Of course the town didn't want the bad publicity and all records of outrageous displays
by Muslims were quashed, similar to the records of Obama's College Records.
I was born in Paterson NJ, now 25-30 Muslim! They were jumping with joy after the Towers
came down!
Paterson was shaken by the September 11 attacks. On that day, a report circulated on some
radio stations and Internet sites that Muslims in Paterson had demonstrated in celebration.
Paterson officials promptly issued a statement denying the report, and Muslim leaders insist
it was pure fabrication.
Less well known is Paterson's real if unwitting link to the attacks. At least two of the hijackers
who commandeered American Airlines 77, the flight that crashed into the Pentagon, had rented
an apartment in Paterson, according to the 9/11 Commission Report, the official U.S. inquiry.

Arguing that there are terrorist sympathizers in the United States, Donald Trump says he saw "thousands" of New Jerseyans celebrating after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
"I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down," the Republican presidential candidate said at a Nov. 21 rally in Birmingham, Ala. "And I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering."
The next day, ABC This Week host George Stephanopoulos asked Trump if he misspoke, noting that "the police say that didn't happen."
Trump -- who has said he was in his Manhattan apartment the morning of the attack -- doubled down.
"It was on television. I saw it," Trump said. "It was well covered at the time, George. Now, I know they don't like to talk about it, but it was well covered at the time. There were people over in New Jersey that were watching it, a heavy Arab population, that were cheering as the buildings came down. Not good."
We looked back at the record to see what we could find about American Muslim celebrations in New Jersey on 9/11. While we found widely broadcast video of people in Palestine celebrating, we found no evidence to back up Trump’s description of events on American soil.
Urban myth
We conducted an exhaustive search of newspaper and television transcripts on LexisNexis, looking for reports from September 2001 through December 2001 that made any mention of Muslims in New Jersey celebrating the 9/11 attacks.
Regarding Jersey City, which Trump mentioned specifically, we found two uncorroborated and unsourced mentions. Neither begins to approach the scale Trump described.
The Associated Press, on Sept. 17, 2001, described "rumors of rooftop celebrations of the attack by Muslims" in Jersey City. But the same report said those rumors were "unfounded."
The Washington Post, on Sept. 18, 2001, published an article that claimed "law enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river." The Post story includes no source for this information, and we found no evidence that any of these allegations ever stuck.
A more rampant rumor of Muslim or Arab-Americans cheering the attacks centered around nearby Paterson, N.J. But that turned out to be just a rumor, spawned by chain emails and perpetuated by shock jock Howard Stern’s radio show.
The Star-Ledger reported that as the rumors spread, "Paterson police rushed to South Main Street, the center of the city's Middle Eastern community."
"When we got there, they were all in prayer," Paterson Police Chief Lawrence Spagnola said.
Three percent of New Jersey residents are Muslim -- the highest of any state -- according to Pew Research Center. Suspected 9/11 terrorists had ties to Jersey City and Paterson. But there is no conclusive evidence that any New Jersey residents celebrated the attacks, and there is no evidence whatsoever of any demonstrations where "thousands and thousands of people" cheered.
Nor is there any evidence Trump saw these events play out in any way, be it on TV or in person. We reached out to Trump’s campaign but didn’t hear back.
What we did find are many stories of Muslims living in New Jersey speaking out against the attacks and bracing themselves for anti-Muslim backlash. For example, Paterson residents put up a banner on the city’s main street that said "The Muslim Community Does Not Support Terrorism.''
Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop responded to Trump’s statement on Twitter, saying Trump "has memory issues or willfully distorts the truth."
Our ruling
Trump said he "watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering" as the World Trade Center collapsed.
This defies basic logic. If thousands and thousands of people were celebrating the 9/11 attacks on American soil, many people beyond Trump would remember it. And in the 21st century, there would be video or visual evidence.
Instead, all we found were a couple of news articles that described rumors of celebrations that were either debunked or unproven.
Trump’s recollection of events in New Jersey in the hours after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks flies in the face of all the evidence we could find. We rate this statement Pants on Fire.
Can't speak for what happened in Jersey, but there were some ragheads celebrating in Minneapolis after 9/11. I saw it with my own two eyes.
Trump reminded a reporter questioning him on this matter that 'He has the world best memory &
everybody knows that" I wasn't even pissed when I saw the Palestinian contingent in Paterson celebrating
the downing of the Towers, though it's hard to admit I was born there.
Whose going to bother believing Guesser & his ilk after listening to Trump on the same subject.
Many witnessed American Muslims in many towns hi-fiving each other this is not even debatable!
Muslims doing their thing, who would expect anything different!
Trump was LYING, Period. Not that it matters, because lies like this make his numbers go up among the Muslim hating base he's appealing to. What Trump says he SAW happening DID NOT HAPPEN. Were there small pockets of crazy Muslims celebrating? I'm sure. But was there ANY AMERICAN CITY that had THOUSANDS of people celebrating out in the open. NO FUCKING WAY BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN, PERIOD.
Nobody is lying. Just because your far left "fact checkers" refuse to acknowledge what thousands witnessed in one form or another doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Just be thankful people didn't have smart phones back then otherwise you and your Muslim buddies would end up with egg on your faces like you always do.
OF course he is lying. If there was a US city that had thousands of people celebrating the attack on the WTC, and/or the Towers falling, it would be easily retrievable as it would have been broadcast and looped together for years on Fake News. No such tape exists because IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. As usual, I am correct because I have FACTS and LOGIC on my side.
