Bulgaria Nixes UN Border Pact

In the first go-round, all nations across the globe approved the United Nations’ Open Borders Pact except the United States, Austria and Hungary. But then Poland and the Czech Republic joined the naysayers, and now Bulgaria and Croatia have as well. In addition, there’s rising sentiment in other European nations to reject the pact, notably in Estonia, which is close to abandoning it.

The Soros-supported pact stipulates how nations will be forced to accept migrants and thereafter treat them. A draft version of the UN’s Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration – or GCM pact – was given tentative approval last July. That means that nations like China, Russia and North Korea agreed to the pact – in hopes that Europe and the U.S. would blindly fall in line. And how do you think a caravan of several thousand Muslim men of fighting age would be treated at the gates of Moscow or Beijing? Welcomed with open arms and an open checkbook from the national largesse? Dream on! More from Bill Still.

Stefan Molyneux offers an in-depth look at the UN migration compact. He says, “In December 2018, world leaders gather to sign the UN Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration – a disaster for Western countries which virtually eliminates property rights and free speech, enshrining the right for everyone to enter Western countries and live off the taxpayer.”

 

 

Images are Solid Lead on Crash

The Chinese government released satellite images that appear to be wreckage from Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370. The jumbo 777 vanished mysteriously on a routine flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers aboard. Chinese officials discovered the images–believed to be the best solid lead on the disappearance–a day following the mishap, but declined to elaborate why they held onto to them until midweek. CNN’s Tom Foreman gives a virtual explanation of how the images could very well be missing debris from the plane.

North Korea’s Spy Bistro

North Korea lacks the money to feed its people, but the government has opened an expensive restaurant in Beijing rumored to serve as a spy base. The mysterious Hae Dang Hwa caters to high-profile North Korean officials and businessmen in China.

Beautiful North Korean waitresses wear traditional dresses, while professional female-only performers hop from room to room with musical instruments. No photography is allowed, and, of course, no English is spoken. Some observers maintain that North Korea opens restaurants in foreign countries to provide cover for spy missions.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: The original video has disappeared off YouTube. So in its place, we substitute another video about these North Korea-run restaurants found throughout Asia.)

China’s Most Polluted City

As Beijing residents are told to limit time outside because of pollution, some of the 10 million residents in Shinjiazhuang, China’s most polluted city, who are forced to wear masks every day, are starting to fight back. Great Britain’s Channel 4 Asia Correspondent John Sparks reports.

Sub Wars

Star Wars gets an Asian makeover in Seon Soong’s clever, martial arts-flavored morality tale from China.

The premise: A solemn old man boards a subway train. Although his senior status entitles him to a seat, none of the passengers budges, leaving this elder unceremoniously standing. In the way of the Jedi, he seeks justice — much more nimbly and fiercely than you might at first imagine.

Soong is a student in the Animation School at the Communication University of China, based in Beijing. H/T Animation Blog

Robot Chefs Invade China

Robot chefs that make sliced noodles have become a common sight in Beijing restaurants and noodle bars. The Chinese restaurateur who developed the robots says they are extremely efficient and also less costly than paying for human help to make noodles. The robots sell for the equivalent of about $2,000 US dollars. Wonder how long before we see robot chefs in the United States? And will they look like Fembots, Autobots or Decepticons?

Meanwhile, in Tokyo’s Red Light District, the Japanese have opened the ultimate robot restaurant — with bikini-clad girls strutting their stuff and riding around on giant robots, also wearing bikinis, in a cabaret act that took three years and $125 million to create.

The Mob Hounds Olympian

Corey Cogdell, a member of the US Olympic Shooting Team, has come under fire from anti-hunting moonbats. Cogdell’s crime? She enjoys big-game hunting and has posted photos on her Facebook page showing herself with her trophy kills.

Revealing themselves to be quite bloodthirsty despite masquerading as pacifist-minded humanitarians, the twits have taken to Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, advocating violence against Cogdell and her family. Tweeted Konejira, “Please go shoot yourself in the knees. YOU ANIMAL MURDERER!! you’re a disgusting human being.” Someone else wailed, “These ppl need to be shot deheaded and posted on a wall.” A third party wrote, “I hope that someone someday shoot your whole familly just practicing.—”

Cogdell, a trap shooter from Palmer, Alaska, won a bronze medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and is currently competing at the 2012 Games. Upon arriving in London, she did a Skype interview with the NRA News, discussing how she loves to use Twitter and Facebook to reach out to her fans. Wonder if her enthusiasm for social media has been tempered now that the haters have gone into hyperdrive to whip up their PETA-inspired hysteria? H/T Twitchy
