Insecurity in Europe: the Connection between Palestine, Al-Qaeda and ISIS

Is ISIS knocking on Europe's door or is it already inside? In politics, it is important to nurture relations among nations, and therefore politicians and their advisers strive to find ways of keeping these relationships fruitful. However, it would be interesting to know who are the bureaucrats that feel so comfortable in their position that fail to make the proper correlations, and in the process put Europe in peril. To start with, western politicians should have the courage to admit that there's a clear connection between the [recognition/support for a] State of Palestine ex nihilo , the Al-Qaeda 7-Step Plan, the expansion of the Islamic State, and the increasing threats to European Security and Stability.

Counter-Terrorism: What Connects Trinidad & Tobago and Portugal to Iran?

We are far from ending the War on Terror. As the Global Jihad's deadline for conquering the world nears, we can expect Islamic Terrorist Groups to become chameleons, to change their tactics and to adapt to the new Security environment. If we are serious about not letting these criminals win, there are 3 countries that need to be followed closely: Trinidad and Tobago, Portugal and Iran.

The Hottest Passport in Town: Cape Verde's

By Max Coutinho All of the sudden, we see Cape Verde’s Passports everywhere. This should not be strange if we think that Cape Verdians rank as one of the world’s top emigrants; however, when the holders of such passports are citizens stemming from Senegal, Guiné-Bissau, Angola, Ivory Coast etc…we can’t help but to wonder… One could argue that maybe they lived in the Islands for more than a decade - yes, true but they don’t speak either Portuguese or Cape Verde Creole. They speak French (including the individuals from Guiné-Bissau). Raise your hand if you get the point. Cape Verde and the CPLP bloc should look into this phenomenon, specially given the recently created mobility pact - we know Portugal is keeping an eye open regarding fake passports and the Immigration Services have been arresting foreign citizens who seek to get residence permits with such documents. Normally, these things happen because someone tips people about such issues “Oh go to Cape Verde: there you can...

Eurovision 2019: Translation & Analysis of "Telemóveis" by Conan Osiris

Someone brought to my attention the Portuguese contribution to the Eurovision 2019. The song is called “Telemóveis” (cell-phones) and I decided to post its Translation because many people are intrigued by the performance and want to know what “Telemóveis” is all about. I also decided to share my analysis of the lyrics since it’s the first time Portugal sends such profound yet modern and sophisticated material to the Eurovision. Congratulations, Osiris!

Training Jedi Knight Types Lesson 5 Spear Hand - Part III

By Stephen Cheney PART II - ANCIENT EXERCISE THE KATA STRETCH: Standing with your (RIGHT) leg back and so left leg is forward, hold your LEFT forearm high horizontally across your forehead, ready to block or strike high (also keeps the sun out of the eyes if need be). Your other (RIGHT) forearm is chambered at your hip, horizontally. Its hand is flat with palm uppermost, or held in the triangular shape like a spear head. SEE THE ENEMY and as the enemy comes in range: Breathe in, and as you breathe out pull your upper arm down to chamber it at your left hip as you long step (slide) forward with your (RIGHT) foot, thrusting forward your (RIGHT) spear hand, press its forearm against your side ribs, then launch suddenly deep into the enemy’s body as you pull back with your newly hipped left arm. Stretch your body and arm, when it is fully extended twist the point, your palm up becomes palm down and extract the hand spear taking it back to your hip, returning to you...

Another Holistic Approach To Counter-Terrorism: De-Radicalisation

Morning in the Riesengebirge - Caspar David Friedrich We have recently questioned the effectiveness of Disengagement as Counter-Terrorism (CT) measure. This week we will discuss another Holistic Approach to CT: De-radicalisation. De-radicalisation "Programmes that are generally directed against individuals who have become radical with the aim of re-integrating them into society or at least dissuading them from violence." (John Horgan) Such programmes (according to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue) work under the assumption that people radicalise due to specific factors: Divisions : Lack of integration, ghettoisation, polarisation, internal community divides, identity crisis, isolation, weak community leadership/infrastructure Grievances : Under-employment, poor education, political/democratic disenfranchisement, discrimination, foreign policy and international conflicts/disputes Narratives : Political movements, ideologies, faith Means : Social/family/...
