MEME UPDATE

TURKEY'S GERMAN-BUILT TANKS UNABLE TO SUPPORT REGIONAL AMBITIONS

Turkey's ambition to become a major power in the Middle East by expanding its zone of influence in Syria is under threat after an ISIS video revealed alarming weaknesses in its top battle tank, the Leopard II, which is now being deployed against Kurdish forces in Northern Syria.

Over a week ago, the Turks launched a major offensive -- Operation Olive Branch (LOL) -- against the Kurds, who have been armed by the US. But so far the Turks and their Arab allies have failed to capture more than a few tiny villages. 

One reason for this relative failure seems to be the shortcomings of the Leopard II tank. The Turkish army has 354 of the tanks, which were built by Germany for a cost of $6 million each and then sold on to Turkey for a cheaper price. These impressive-looking tanks are the reason why Turkey has a strong military reputation in the region. 

But it seems that this may be vastly overrated. As reported by the Daily Mail:

"A German-made tank, which Berlin once dubbed one of the best in the world, has had its shortcomings embarrassingly exposed on the battlefield in Syria. Photos from the Turkish military operation dubbed 'Euphrates Shield', which began in August 2016, show the charred remains of one of the Leopard 2 tanks which was reportedly blown up with mines. The images - taken from an ISIS video published in January 2017 - show the tank with its turret completely blown off. Other pictures from the same conflict show Leopard 2s standing idle in ditches and snow after being severely damaged."

Leopard II destroyed by ISIS

Although it has a V12 twin-turbo engine, a armoured shell made from hardened steel and tungsten, and top speed of 42mph, the tank is clearly vulnerable to 4G warfare tactics, as ISIS has destroyed at least eight of them, using comparatively unsophisticated weapons. 

Leopard II tanks have now been seen in Syria, but, as this video shows, they are being used very cautiously for fear of losing more of them. 

The weakness of Turkey's armoured forces means that the Kurds and Turks are much more evenly matched than military analysts previously thought. As result it may be time for Turkish President Recep Erdogan to scale back his imperialistic rhetoric. On Friday (26th) he pledged to sweep Kurdish forces from the entire length of the border with Syria and capture the strategic town of Manbij:

"We will clear Manbij of terrorists," Erdogan told local leaders of the governing AK Party in Ankara. "No one should be disturbed by this because the real owners of Manbij are not these terrorists, they are our Arab brothers. From Manbij, we will continue our struggle up to the border with Iraq, until no terrorist is left."

These big words may be hard to carry out if Kurds can inflict the same losses on his tank forces that ISIS formerly did, which seems likely with their superior US-supplied weapons.

BLACK POLITICIANS SHOW DISPLEASURE AT HIGH EMPLOYMENT LEVELS

Shit hole politicians?

One of the big question to arise from President Trump's recent State of the Union address was whether Blacks actually wanted work or not. This might seem like a no-brainer to most normies, along the lines of "Why would anyone want to be a jobless loser living off welfare and begging?" 

But the attitude members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) cast doubt on such an obvious assumption, and suggests that perhaps Black people were in fact happier being unemployed in a relatively rich society where they could still get welfare and handouts, supplemented by occasional petty crime.  

The key point in President's address was when he mentioned his administration's impact on Black unemployment: 

“Since the election, we have created 2.4 million new jobs, including ... including 200,000 new jobs in manufacturing alone. Tremendous number. After years and years of wage stagnation, we are finally seeing rising wages. Unemployment claims have hit a 45-year low. And something I'm very proud of, African-American unemployment stands at the lowest rate ever recorded.”

Instead of jumping out of their seats and wildly applauding, the Black Congressmen sat on their hands and looked glum, with faces more suited to an atheist funeral than the best news the Black community has had since Lincoln freed the slaves.

But, of course, it is only good news if we assume that African-Americans are the same as other Americans and actually want upwardly mobile lives of useful employment. Sadly, the reaction of the Congressional Black Caucus said something quite different. Was film maker D.W. Griffiths right all those years ago when he suggested that Black politicians were not particularly serious about their job?

Black voters who want self respect clearly deserve better than what the Congressional Black Caucus is offering.

TRUMP "STATE OF THE UNION" A MASSIVE HIT WITH VIEWERS

Trump's first "State of the Union" address on Tuesday night (30th Jan) was a big hit with the audience polls tracking the public's response found, with the majority of voters giving a thumbs up. 

Even allowing for the fact that a lot of Democrat supporters didn't tune in, the speech still hit positive territory according to a CBS News poll of 1,178 people. Although only 52% identified as Trump supporters, 75% said they liked the speech. This means that even some of the 32% who identified as Trump opponents liked it, while almost all neutrals liked it.

CBS, it should be remembered is a Jewish-owned network that tends to take a negative line against Trump, as with most of the mainstream media. But even the most anti-Trump channel CNN, which is mainly watched by angry cat ladies, could not stop Trump's speech getting a 48% "very positive" impression. 

Despite running this with a churlishly negative headline that focused on the 29% of people who didn't like this, these "very positive" poll numbers exactly matched President Obama's "very positive" rating in the CNN poll carried out after his first "State of the Union" address. But then, twisting the news data in this way is exactly the reason why Trump has deemed them to be "fake news."

CURSE OF TRUMP DESCENDS ON JAY-Z AT GRAMMYS?

World famous hip-hop musician and producer Jay-Z is the latest victim to fall foul of the dreaded "Curse of Trump" after his eight nominations failed to gain a single prize at this year's Grammy awards following a public row with President Trump.

Not only this but a video also went viral showing Jay-Z humiliatingly being ordered around by his 6-year-old daughter.

The bad luck for the ugly, camel-faced mulatto celebrity came after he called President Trump a "superbug" on CNN’s The Van Jones Show on Saturday night (27th). 

Butthurt by Trump accurately describing Haiti and several African countries as "shit holes," Jay-Z, who is mainly famous for being married to brassy, big-thighed singer Beyonce, compared Trump to Donald Sterling, the Jewish owner of the LA Clippers, who, in 2014, told his young girlfriend not to shag Black athletes. 

Jay-Z said that the the media outrage at the time had only had a superficial impact on underlying "racism" and may even have made it stronger:

"You haven’t fixed anything," he said. "You have sprayed perfume on the trash can. What you do when you do that is the bugs come. You spray something and you create a superbug because you don’t take care of the problem. You don’t take the trash out, you keep spraying whatever over it to make it acceptable. As those things grow, you create a superbug. And then now we have Donald Trump, the superbug."

Following the show's broadcast, Trump hit back by reminding Jay-Z how good he had been for Black voters:

Despite being a clumsy attempt to insult President Trump, the "superbug" comment was also an unfortunate analogy, because the countries Trump allegedly described as "shit holes" are much more likely to suffer from bugs and superbugs than anywhere else.

Although Jay-Z is a no-talent fake musician who mainly steals tracks and beats from much more talented musicians, he is highly thought of in the parasitical music business. This -- combined with the heavy moral signalling against Trump -- should have ensured Jay-Z at least 3 or 4 awards from his 8 nominations, as the music industry is also extremely culturally Marxist.

In the event he ended up with ZERO, reminding us once again that getting on President Trump's bad side may unlock powerful, dark, occult forces that can blight a celebrity's life and career. Perhaps in future Jay-Z will tread more carefully when his path crosses that of the God Emperor, and stay in his "shit hole" industry, rather than commenting on things that don't concern him. 

Anyway, I hear Haiti is "wonderful" this time of year.

SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF "RUSSIA TODAY" FOUNDER

Mikhail Lesin, President Putin's former personal adviser on media affairs and the founder of Russia Today, was found dead in a Washington hotel room back in 2015. The cause of death given was a heart attack. 

But now the story has changed after an FBI report was released on Saturday (27th) that showed Lesin died as a result of blunt force injuries to his head. As the heavily redacted document puts it:

"Mr. Lesin died as a result of blunt force injuries to his head, with contributing causes being blunt force injuries of the neck, torso, upper extremities, and lower extremities, which were induced by falls, with acute ethanol intoxication."

There are two possibilities here, either Lesin got really, really drunk and then started breakdancing against the furniture,  battering himself to death in the process, or else it was a hit job. 

With regard to the second possibility, the fact that Lesin was a former Kremlin insider staying at a hotel in Washington  DC seems highly significant. Was Lesin in town to do a deal dishing dirt on his former boss? Such a possibility provides a clear motive for any hit man.

Russia Today really loved the Alt-Right when Obama was President.

Lesin served as Minister of Press and Mass Media from 1999 to 2004, then as a presidential media adviser from 2004 to 2009. It was during his time as Minister of Press and Mass Media that he oversaw the creation of Russia Today, the Russian state's overseas media arm, launched in 2005.

From 2013 to 2015 Lesin was chief executive officer at Garprom-Media, a position he is thought to have been forced out of. He then moved to Los Angeles, where his family had bought considerable properties, far in excess of his paid worth. 

The trajectory here is clear -- a high-powered Kremlin insider with plenty of secrets to sell, moving further and further away from his former boss. Not exactly the most healthy ingredients to mix in that final fatal cocktail, especially when the boss is Vladimir Putin.

Also, why is this coming out now? The FBI have been sitting on this for around two years. This wouldn't be anything to do with the fact that Putin is up for re-election this March? Nah, coincidences like that never happen, do they?

BIG SURPRISE: LEFTISTS CREATE MORE VOMIT-INDUCING ART

The Left really like making cunts of themselves, and not just metaphorically either, as a lame-brained feminist artist has started encouraging women to "express themselves" by making prints of their twats. As reported by the always classy Metro, Britain's leading free newspaper:

"44-year-old artist and educator Lee is the creator of the Unfold Project, which asks those with vaginas to do vulva body prints in the name self discovery and body positivity. The process is a lot like getting your fingerprint taken… but with your genitals.

It’s a form of relief printing so each resulting print captures all the details and specifics of your body. ‘The project has been knocking around in my head for a while,’ Lee tells Metro.co.uk. ‘So many aspects of media send unhelpful messages about bodies. ‘I’ve been interested in ideas about representation and the role artists and creators can play as well as what responsibility they may have to help normalize a wide range of body images.

‘I had a hunch that body printing would be an interesting way to capture the beauty and diversity of vulva while at the same time being accessible enough that it’s relatively easy to do."

The project is supposed to get women to think of their cunts as "beautiful" and so boost their confidence in their bodies, but most of the images created are objectively so ugly that this seems absurd. Some of the images were even made while the women involved were "on the rag" FFS!

In fact I can't think of a more effective way of trashing a woman's physical self-confidence that by focusing on one of her ugliest features in this grotesque way. In fact the only reason most men want to see women's twats is because they have been habitually hidden for millennia. Exposing them in this way will simply make most of men turn away and retch. 

The key to beauty and eroticism is often in what is not shown, but don't expect the kind of brain-damaged people who become Leftists and feminists to understand this eternal truth.
