1. Germany: Turk prays on sidewalk – passerby and residents protest against it
After an insult last night in the Berlin district of Spandau, there was a violent clash. According to previous findings, a 38-year-old man was first allegedly insulted by an unknown person as he unfolded his prayer rug on the sidewalk of Seegefelder Street at about 8.30 p.m. and then physically attacked. The Muslim then fought back with a bicycle lock.
A local resident, who had noticed the dispute, threw filled bags at the 38-year-old and allegedly insulted him.The State Security Police at the Berlin State Criminal Investigation Office has taken over further investigations. Spiegel Online reports that the 38-year-old man is Turkish.I suspect that the German state security will not investigate against the Muslim provocateur who blocked a public sidewalk, but against the courageous German citizens who opposed it.
2. Man jailed for 15 years for remote-controlled car terror plot in UK
A man has been sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for planning a terror attack using a remote-controlled car filled with explosives in the UK.
Farhad Salah’s plot was foiled in the early stages when counter-terrorism police raided his home in Sheffield, northern England.
The 24-year-old, a supporter of ISIS, was found with extremist material including films of murder and torture.
After a six-week trial at Sheffield crown court, a jury found him guilty of preparing acts of terrorism.
Salah, who is originally from Iraq, had hoped to harm others without harming himself, the court heard during the trial.
A second man, chip shop owner Andy Star, 32, of Chesterfield, was also arrested but the jury failed to reach a verdict in his case.
(Interesting. I guess he didn’t really believe the bollux about Jenna and the après-vie brothel in the sky, but did believe killing lots of people for allah is a good islamic thing to do anyway. Also, if you read to the end at source, he seems to be confused about the nature of a “martyrdom operation”.)
3. DOJ announces anti-trust investigation of internet tech giants
(Excellent. And from there we move on to fraud. Everyone who has put thousands of hours and money and effort into a social media account just to have it shut down for bogus or biased reasons is a victim of big-tech fraud and deserve both a payout for their time and effort, along with punitive damages. I hope the DoJ looks at that next.)
The Department of Justice has announced that it is going to begin reviewing the exclusionary practices of certain big tech Internet giants.
DOJ said it will be looking to “Review Focuses on Practices that Create or Maintain Structural Impediments to Greater Competition and User Benefits.”
The nation’s top law enforcement agency made its announcement with a July 23 press release:
The Department of Justice announced today that the Department’s Antitrust Division is reviewing whether and how market-leading online platforms have achieved market power and are engaging in practices that have reduced competition, stifled innovation, or otherwise harmed consumers.
4. Ilhan Omar Also Called for Opponent to Be ‘Deported’
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was found Tuesday to have told a political opponent in the past that she needed to be deported — using a rhetorical tactic that Democrats have said is “un-American” and “racist.”
Last Sunday, President Donald Trump tweeted that Omar and three other far-left Democratic congresswomen in the so-called “Squad” should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came” and then “come back and show us how it is done.”
He did not call for them to be deported, and later clarified that he meant simply that if they did not like the U.S., they should leave.
Some members of a large rally crowd in North Carolina chanted “Send her back,” in reference to Omar, during Trump’s speech there last Wednesday. The president disavowed it the next day.
But Omar has, in fact, called for an opponent to be deported. Her tweet, from 2012, was unearthed as a similar tweet from Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MN) — one of the other “Squad” members — surfaced, in which she declared “Deport this asshole!” in 2015.
Omar’s tweet read: “we are citizens & can’t be deported, why don’t we deport you to where ever you came from.”
5. HUGE: Ted Cruz Demands RICO Investigation Into ANTIFA
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) requested FBI Director Christopher Wray begin a RICO investigation into Antifa, citing its violent action in Portland, Oregon that saw journalist Andy Ngo hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage and the recent Antifa domestic terrorist attack in Tacoma, Washington in which a member of Antifa attacked a migrant detention facility armed with an AR-15 rifle and Molotov cocktails.
Cruz is one of the only members of Congress who are actively calling for investigations into Antifa, and he doubled down on his position when questioning Wray earlier today.
“Let me turn to a final topic, which is an area of concern for me, which is a group that has called itself Antifa, which ironically is short for anti fascism, and yet they engage in the conduct of fascists,” said Cruz. “They engage in violent protests, masked men and women engaging in physical violence. We saw recently the Rose City chapter of Antifa in Portland Oregon that was assaulting citizens and disrupting traffic, violently assaulted one journalist so severely that he was hospitalized for brain hemorrhage.”
Cruz then spoke of the Tacoma terrorist attack.
6. Muslims’ Calls to Remove ‘Offensive’ Artwork With Prophet Muhammad’s Name Polarise Norwegian City
According to local Muslims, the name plate set up in Norway’s third-largest city of Stavanger to honour Bangladeshi Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus is offensive as the Prophet’s name is being stepped upon.
The Muslim Joint Council, which numbers some 8,000 members, has called for a plate set up to commemorate Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus to be removed from the ground. The rationale is that the award winner shares names with Islam’s main prophet, and trampling upon the holy man’s name is a sign of utter disrespect.
The Bronze plate to honour Muhammad Yunus, who won the 2006 Peace Prize for his pioneering work with microcredit loans, was set up seven years ago. Similar installations exist in Stavanger in honour of fellow peace prize winners Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama and Al Gore.
“Here it lies on the ground, people step on it, and no one sees what it is,” Summer Ejaz, spokesperson for Muslim Joint Council Rogaland, told national broadcaster NRK, calling the name Muhammad “respectable and gracious”.
(Maybe instead they should show it the respect muslims show Christian icons and symbols. That would solve the problem in 10 strikes of a sledge hammer)
Thank you M., Richard, Johnny U., Wrath of Khan, EW., EB., and all who sent in materials. More to come. But do try and watch the few videos posted earlier today. All of them are quite interesting.
4. “‘Our Country Should Be More Fearful of White Man’: Ilhan Omar’s Past Comments Ammunition in ‘Politic”
CBN News – July 23, 2019
“9/11 Victims Bill Passed By U.S. Senate”
CBS New York – Published on July 23, 2019
Microcredit loans, also called microfinance were supposed to help people to whom banks usually wouldn’t give a loan. The idea of loans as low as $1.- or lower was new in the eighties. Initially not taken very seriously it got support from such institutions as the World Bank… until they realized that it lead to thousands of suicides for example in India: https://www.businessinsider.com/hundreds-of-suicides-in-india-linked-to-microfinance-organizations-2012-2
This article is even older than the one above, but I strongly suspect that the lack of follow up on this type of finance might mean that it miserably failed, and that it was -as we might now be guessing- replaced by the one way tickets to the Gravy Train Paradise, the West.
https://www.un.org/africarenewal/magazine/august-2011/microfinance-what-role-africas-development
OK. found an World Bank article about that, from 2015 (the year Angela let all the gimmegrants in Europe, hmmmm…):
https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2015/03/30/does-microfinance-still-hold-promise-for-reaching-the-poor
All you need to know, if you don’t want to read the whole thing, (although it is interesting ) is what the author says in large print:
” The notion that we can serve the poorest of the poor [using microfinance] without reliance on subsidy is far-fetched at this point. We will need to make changes not only to the model but to the delivery mechanism. ” -Robert Cull -Lead Economist, Research Department
Meaning that it’s freebees. Notice also, that they know now, the loans are being used for consumption and not for investment. Clearly, the money is being given to people who cannot plan for the future. (the kind of people who would eat the candy right away, rather than wait 15 minutes and have two candies, a.k.a Deferred/delayed gratification)
1 – We will now find out if anyone will rat out the German who protested, if they don’t the protests will spread.
