“American Communists Watch As Russians Award Venezuela’s President Maduro ‘Order Of Lenin’”

Swiss Air Drops Christian Chocolate Supplier Following Protests (breitbart, Feb 1, 2020)
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/02/01/swiss-air-drops-christian-chocolate-supplier-following-protests/
“Swiss Air Lines has cut ties with chocolate manufacturer Läderach following left-wing protests of the owner’s membership in a pro-life, pro-family Christian group.
Despite Swiss Air’s ten-year affiliation with Läderach, the airline dropped the chocolatier after protests and extensive vandalism by left-wing activists, homosexuals, and young socialists, according to a report by LifeSite News.
Jürg Läderach, who owns the high-end chocolate company, is also the president of “Christianity for Today” (CFT), a Swiss evangelical organization that sponsors Switzerland’s March for Life and emphasizes the importance of the family based on a marriage between a man and a woman.
According to the Swiss news magazine Beobachter, negative press surrounding Läderach for its pro-life and pro-family positions was “clearly too much for the airline, which has many gay crew members.”
Swiss Air spokeswoman Meike Fuhlrott confirmed that there had been negative feedback from customers and employees due to the media reports.
Last fall, activists attacked a Läderach store in Basel, Switzerland, using Butyric acid, forcing the store to close for two days. This assault was just one instance of vandalism against the chocolatier, which reportedly took place at seven different stores.
A large German homosexual advocacy group proposed a boycott of Läderach, urging hotels, restaurants, and other companies to eliminate Läderach’s products from their range of goods because of their pro-family stance.
For his part, Läderach’s head of marketing Patrick Onken stated that the company has “zero tolerance when it comes to discrimination, no matter what the reason.”
The chocolatier employs over 1,000 people in 14 countries and its pralines will still be distributed by Swiss Air to its premium passengers until mid-April when the chocolates will be phased out.”
Germany chaos: Huge riots erupt on streets of Berlin as police and angry protesters clash (express, Feb 2, 2020)
https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1236667/Germany-news-Berlin-riots-latest-video-police-clash-Antifa-rally-arrest
“BRUTAL riots erupted on the streets of Berlin as police clashed with Antifa anti-police brutality protestors.
The violence sparked arrests as clashes broke out at the east Berlin rally last night. The demonstration was a protest against the European Police Congress, which will meet in Berlin next week, according to the German website focus.de. The group is an anti-fascist movement who oppose the rise of neo-Nazi sentiment in Germany.
A video of the clashes was uploaded on Russian state broadcaster RT’s YouTube page.
The footage shows protestors light flares and wave banners before the demonstrations turned violent as skirmishes broke out.
Police can be seen brawling with and kettling protestors before escorting some of them away.
Taking to the comments section of the clip, users posted their thoughts.
One said: “France will fall next, the real people of France are gonna take their country back.”
Someone else wrote: “Poor little violent babies. They can dish it out, but can’t take it.”
Another viewer said: “Why we keep fighting amongst ourselves, other countries are growing stronger and waiting.”
The Antifa movement in Germany is composed of multiple far-left, autonomous, militant anti-fascist groups and individuals, who usually use the abbreviation Antifa.
It takes its name from the historical Antifaschistische Aktion.
The riots come a week after Germany and France descended into disarray amid fury at restrictive EU regulations on the environment and agriculture – prompting farmers to blockade main roads with tractors in both EU member-states.
The Berlin mayor, Michael Müller, recognized that it was a “burden for Berlin,” but “the farmers have their point of view”.
He added that locals would “have to tolerate” the upheaval.
The rallies coincided with Berlin’s Green Week, a food and agricultural fair which starts on Friday, which has often attracted huge waves of protests in recent years.”
Farmers across Europe are increasingly alarmed about the future of the agricultural and environmental policy, following the EU’s £852bn Green New Deal policy.
German protesters said they were fed up with new animal welfare and restrictions on the use of pesticides to protect insects, among other things.
The farmer’s collective Land schafft Verbindung (LSV), or Land Creates Connection, has led the movement against the tightening regulations.
Placards accompanying the tractors read: “Don’t forget that farmers feed you,” “No farm, no food, no future” and “We are fed up!””
Hindu Mahasabha Leader Shot Dead in Indian State of Uttar Pradesh (sputniknews, Feb 2, 2020)

“This is the second murder of a right-wing Hindu political party leader of late in Uttar Pradesh. In October 2019, national president of the Hindu Samaj Party Kamlesh Tiwari was also shot dead in the city of Lucknow.
A leader of the party Hindu Mahasabha (All India) from northern Uttar Pradesh was shot dead by two assailants on motorcycles in the heart of the state capital Lucknow on Sunday morning.

France Will Send 600 Additional Troops to Africa’s Sahel – Defence Ministry (sputniknews, Feb 2, 2020)
https://sputniknews.com/africa/202002021078204562-france-will-send-600-additional-troops-to-africas-sahel—defence-ministry/
“Paris is engaged in Operation Barkhane, fighting terrorists in the Sahara and the Sahel region, bordering the desert. According to the French Defence Ministry, approximately 4,500 troops are participating in the op, as the country is collaborating with Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, and Chad, also known as G5 Sahel.
France will deploy 600 additional soldiers in the Sahel-Saharan strip to boost the op in the region, Defence Minister Florence Parly stated on Sunday.
“Another part of these reinforcements will be directly engaged with the forces of the G5 Sahel to accompany them in combat”, she said.
According to the minister, the military reinforcements would allow French troops to increase pressure against the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara – a Daesh-affiliated* jihadist group in Africa.
The situation in the region remains tense amid ongoing conflicts in the northern and western parts of the continent, including the civil war in Libya and clashes between Tuareg militants and Mali forces.
At the moment, Sahel is witnessing activity by Islamist armed factions, endangering local troops and civilians alike.
Paris sent its forces to Mali in 2012, when Tuaregs seized vast territories in the northern part of Mali, leading to a French military campaign aiming to return control over the region to the government.
* Daesh (ISIL/ISIS/IS/Islamic State) is a terrorist organisation banned in Russia”
Hate Case Dropped Against Teen Who Criticised Islam and Got Death Threats (breitbart, Feb 2, 2020)
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/02/02/hate-case-dropped-against-teen-who-criticised-islam-and-got-death-threats/
“French prosecutors have dropped a potential hate crime case against a French teen named Mila who received death threats after she criticised Islam online.
The Vienne public prosecutor dropped the investigation for “hate provocation” against the 16-year-old, stating that the investigation into the motive and context of her words “revealed no element likely to characterize this as a criminal offence”, France Info reports.
The investigation began after Mila had made a post on social media platform Instagram earlier this month in which she made several remarks critical of Islam and saw a massive backlash from Muslims in France, including several death threats.
During an argument with another user, she said, “I hate religion. The Koran is . . . full of hate. There is only hate in it. Islam is a shit religion. That’s what I think.”
According to The Times, the teen saw 200 hateful messages per minute and was forced to leave school and be placed under police protection for her own safety.
The issue has caused controversy across the political spectrum in France, with left-wing feminists defending Mila, who is a lesbian, and populist National Rally leader Marine Le Pen also coming out in support of the teen.
“We might find [the girl’s comments] vulgar, but we can’t accept the fact that some people sentence her to death for that in France in the 21st century,” Le Pen said.
The prosecutor’s office has also stated they are investigating the various death threats and other posts made against Mila.
The affair is just the latest clash between Islam and France’s secular society in recent years.
From disputes over the sharia-compliant swimwear known as the burkini to Muslim mass street prayers, France is becoming increasingly divided.
A poll released in October revealed that 61 per cent of the French public thought that Islam was simply not compatible with French society, while another study from 2018 claimed that Muslims were becoming less and less secular.”
Italian Schoolchildren Labelled Fascists If They Refuse to Sing Marxist Song (breitbart, Feb 2. 2020)
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/02/02/italian-schoolchildren-labelled-fascists-if-they-refuse-to-sing-marxist-song/
“A middle school teacher in the Italian city of Prato is alleged to have threatened pupils and labelled them “fascists” if they refused to sing the Marxist song “Bella Ciao” in class.
The teacher allegedly told the students to sing the song, which is largely associated with the left-wing partisan movement during the Second World War, and not only threatened to label them “fascists” for not singing but also to harm their grades, Il Giornale reports.
The allegations came to light after one of the parents of one of the students in the class complained about the situation on Facebook and it was highlighted by the local branch of populist Senator Matteo Salvini’s League party.
The Prato League Council Group released a statement on the matter saying they hoped the matter was a misunderstanding and that the accusations against the teacher were serious.
“We, therefore, demand clarity: these would be unacceptable methods, with an educator possibly addressing children with prejudice and threats,” the party said.
According to Il Giornale, if more parents or students come forward to confirm the allegations the teacher in question could face a number of consequences from suspension to legal proceedings.
In December, Matteo Salvini slammed leftist members of the European Union commission for singing Bella Ciao in the European Parliament in Strasbourg, questioning if they would be singing the communist-linked “Bandiera Rossa” song as well.
Giorgia Meloni, leader of the national-conservative Brothers of Italy (FdI) and an ally of Salvini, went even further, saying: “Is it only I who considers this ridiculous little theatre by the highest European institutions scandalous? Do they not have anything more important to look after?”
The spread of leftist ideology has been highlighted in Italian schools several times in recent months, including new environmental lessons set to make the issues of climate change a part of several subjects within the public school curriculum.”
EU Foreign Affairs Chief In Iran, Wants to Save Failed Nuclear Deal (breitbart, Feb 2, 2020)
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/02/02/eu-foreign-affairs-chief-iran-wants-piece-nuclear-deal-back-together/
“The European Union’s new foreign affairs chief is travelling to Iran to meet with the country’s leaders, the Iranian official news agency said on Sunday, amid high regional tensions.
The visit is seen as the latest move by the EU to save the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers.
Tensions between Iran and the U.S. have steadily risen since President Donald Trump withdrew from the nuclear agreement and re-imposed sanctions on Iran in 2018. Tehran has responded by gradually rolling back its commitment to the deal.
Josep Borrell will meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and other Iranian officials on Monday, according to IRNA…”
Italy Declares State of Emergency Over Wuhan Coronavirus (breitbart, Feb 2, 2020)
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/02/02/italy-declares-state-of-emergency-over-wuhan-coronavirus/
“The Italian Council of Ministers has declared a state of emergency due to the risk to public health posed by the spread of the coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China.
The council stated there was now a “declaration of the state of emergency as a consequence of the health risk associated with the onset of pathologies deriving from transmissible viral agents,” Il Giornale reports.
Among the measures enacted by the declaration are 5 million euros that will be allocated toward handling cases of the virus.
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte stated earlier this week that the country had also cancelled all air travel between Italy and China.
“We are the first country in the European Union that adopts a precautionary measure of this kind,” he said.
Conte went on to add that despite the new measures, members of the public should not be alarmed, claiming “there is no reason to create panic and social alarm.”
The moves come after a cruise ship with 7,000 passengers on board was quarantined this week by Italian authorities after a 54-year-old woman and her partner showed possible signs of being infected with the coronavirus.
Italian authorities have also confirmed two cases of the virus among Chinese tourists who are currently being quarantined in one of Italy’s infectious disease hospitals.
Meanwhile, a bar in a tourist area of Rome has sparked controversy for putting up a sign banning all people from China from entering their premises.
The bar, which is just a short distance from the hotel where the Chinese couple diagnosed with the virus were staying, displayed signs in English, Mandarin, and Japanese saying: “Given the latest international security measures, all people coming from China are not allowed to have access in this place. We apologise for the inconvenience.”
Police were called and warned that the sign could be discriminatory but the owners of the establishment argued they were just trying to protect the health of their guests.
Elsewhere in Europe, members of the Chinese and Asian communities have slammed reactions to the coronavirus as racist.
In France, the hashtag “JeNeSuisPasUnVirus” — “I’m not a virus” — was used to highlight perceived racism.”
Sweden: Children Find Explosive Material Hidden in Sandbox (breitbart, Feb 2, 2020)
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/02/02/sweden-children-find-explosive-material-hidden-in-sandbox/
“Several children at a school in the multicultural Swedish city of Malmö discovered explosive material in a sandbox — the latest discovery of explosives in the city in recent years.
The explosives were discovered by the children at the Sorgenfriskolan elementary school, located in near the centre of the city, Sveriges Radio reports.
The principal of the school, Mickael Westerlund, sent out a message to local parents saying that janitorial staff had searched the premises of the school to see if any other material had been hidden but they did not find anything else.
Some of the parents of the children, however, have been less than enthusiastic about the incident, such as Per, the father of two boys who attend the school. “It is extremely unfortunate and bad for the whole of Malmö,” he said.
Another parent named Cecilia told Sveriges Radio: ” I think it’s dumb not to go out with more information.”
The discovery comes just under three years since a hand grenade was discovered in the Pildamma park in the Kronoborg area of the city by police, along with a cache of other weapons.
A year later in 2018, another hand grenade discovery in Stockholm’s Varby Gard subway station led to the death of a 60-yar-old man, who picked up the object not realising what it was, after which it exploded.
The grenade blast also wounded a 45-year-old woman who was taken to a local hospital.
Sweden has seen a massive rise in bombings and explosions within the last year, with newly released statistics showing at least 257 incidents in 2019 — an increase of 59 per cent compared to the year before.
Despite the surge in cases, convictions have been scarce, with broadcaster SVT noting that just seven people had been convicted for explosion-related crimes last year.”
UAE Foreign Minister Slams Turkey’s ‘Colonial Illusions’ Over Erdogan’s Criticism of Gulf States (sputniknews, Feb 2, 2020)
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/202002021078206143-uae-foreign-minister-slams-turkeys-colonial-illusions-over-erdogans-criticism-of-gulf-states/
“Previously, the Turkish president lambasted Arab states for not criticising Donald Trump’s “deal of the century” to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Erdogan argued that the plan would amount to stealing Palestinian land if it is implemented.
The United Arab Emirates’ minister of state for foreign affairs, Anwar Gargash, has harshly criticised Turkey’s recent rhetoric against the Arab Gulf States, saying that the country’s use of “low political language” is unable to obscure Ankara’s attempts to interfere in the region’s local affairs or its “colonial illusions”.
The UAE official’s criticism comes in the wake of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s denunciation of the reaction of Arab states to Trump’s “deal of the century” peace plan. The Turkish head of state blasted them for not criticising and outright rejecting the plan, which, as Erdogan claims, stipulates the theft of Palestinian land.
Not all Arab states initially evaluated the deal negatively, but rather admired the US efforts at trying to reach a peaceful solution to the longstanding conflict. The UAE and Egypt were among those who showed the most sympathy for Trump’s offer, suggesting that it should be looked at carefully and taken as a starting point for negotiations between the Palestinians and Israel. Saudi Arabia and Jordan supported the US attempts to negotiate a peace agreement, but didn’t comment on the plan itself.
However, following an extraordinary meeting of the foreign ministers of the Arab League countries, which include Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt, the organisation supported the position of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and rejected Trump’s plan on 1 February…”

“The situation in the region remains tense, as the Syrian Arab Army continues its campaign against jihadists in Idlib Province, the last big stronghold of anti-government militants in the country.
A large number of vehicles belonging to the Turkish military entered Syria from the Kafrlosin border crossing, Al-Arabiya reported on Sunday.

FREMONT, OH (WTVG) – Nationwide vigilantes are banding together to try to stop child predators. A new local group attempted to do just that Tuesday, and a YouTube video documenting the incident at the Fremont Walmart has gone viral.
The suspect “Dads Against Predators” met in the video is locked up and facing charges after law enforcement viewed the video. But, his arrest isn’t for underage sex crimes. Instead it’s a deportation case that the United States Border Patrol is involved in.

Urban America Should Give Up On The Democrats Destroying Their Cities
DAILY MAIL – Liberalism’s ‘cesspit’?: IAN BIRRELL says tech giants have turned San Francisco into a dystopian nightmare of addiction, homelessness and criminality
[…]A street cleaner showed me a box filled with used syringes that he had collected, then I met two charity workers picking up needles from the pavement. How many do you find a day, I ask? ‘Between 300 and 600, depending on the weather,’ one replies. A homeless man is pictured second left using a syringe to inject drugs in the city in June 2018
[…]the tide of homeless, addicted and mentally ill people washing up here has become so severe that a global expert on slums claimed San Francisco may be more unsanitary than some of the poorest parts of Africa and Asia.
[…]Yet true to form, San Francisco has just elected as district attorney a radical called Chesa Boudin, whose parents were infamous militants from a far-Left, anti-war group. They were jailed for triple murder when Chesa was a toddler, leaving him to be adopted by the founders of the organisation
[…]‘San Francisco has always had hobos but we’ve never seen anything like this. It’s become a vision of some kind of strange dystopian future,’ says Joel Kotkin, a widely respected professor in urban studies.
[…]the city authorities are culpable, fuelling drug addiction by doling out 4.5 million needles a year when there is nothing compassionate about giving addicts and mentally ill people the freedom to ‘decompose’ on the streets.

USA: Bernie makes pitch to replace “dangerous” Trump at Iowa rally
Democratic presidential candidate called time on Donald Trump’s presidency at a rally in Cedar Rapids on Saturday night.
“We must defeat the most dangerous president in the modern history of this country,” Sanders told around 3,000 supporters packed into the US Cellular Center.
“This is the campaign where the working class of America is going to stand up and say loud and clear: Enough is enough.”
Sanders is the frontrunner in polls heading into the Iowa caucus, the opening salvo in the US primary season.
The veteran left-wing campaigner faces strong challenges from former vice president Joe Biden, Senator Elizabeth Warren and Mayor Pete Buttigieg, among others.
USA: Biden promises to beat Trump “like a drum” at Iowa meet
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said US President Donald Trump was “concerned” about his nomination because he would “beat him like a drum” at a rally in Waterloo on Saturday.
“I wonder why they don’t want me to be the nominee,” asked Biden rhetorically.
Trump suspended military aid to Ukraine as part of alleged attempt to launch a corruption investigation into Biden’s son Hunter.
The former vice president then went on to list perceived failures of the Trump presidency, including whipping up hysteria over immigration from the south, embracing of white supremacy and bowing down to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“The character of the nation is on the ballot,” he reminded voters.
Biden is currently sitting behind rival Bernie Sanders in polls ahead of the Iowa caucus, the opening salvo of the US primary season.
Chaotic states at the German parcel delivery companies because of refugees employed there
According to press reports, Amazon is now increasingly delivering its parcels itself. We have also received three parcels from Amazon deliverers in the last few weeks. The first parcel was delivered by a presumed Turk, the second parcel by a Polish woman and the third parcel by a “refugee”. Two vehicles (rental cars) were sent here at once. In the first car, the deliverer (refugee) and in the second car a German man. Probably the “refugee” should be trained. It took a full 20 minutes until the “refugee” found the delivery in the vehicle, which would probably have taken even longer without the help of the German. The German driver also looked quite annoyed, because the delivery was at 7:30 pm, when most of the parcel deliverers are long gone home.

United Arab Emirates gives Mauritania $2B for development (abcnews, Feb 2, 2020)
https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/united-arab-emirates-mauritania-2b-development-68705914
“The United Arab Emirates pledged Sunday to give $2 billion in aid to the Western African country of Mauritania, amid a visit to the Arabian Peninsula nation by Mauritania’s president.
Mohamed Ould Ghazouani visited the Emirati capital of Abu Dhabi and met with its powerful crown prince, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The state-run WAM news agency announced the pledge, describing it as including funding for “investment and development projects, as well as a soft loan.”
Mauritania, a moderate Islamic republic, has suffered five coups since independence from France in 1960. It has been led by military rulers for much of that time.
Ghazouani took the oath of office in August after winning a presidential election last year. That marked the West African nation’s first peaceful transfer of power.
The UAE, a federation of seven sheikhdoms also including Dubai, has sought to expand its influence across Africa in recent years.”
ABC news calls Mauritania a “moderate Islamic republic.” Moderate must mean something different to ABC news than it does to me.
Mauritania still has slavery, a theocratic government by the military that will punish its citizens for blasphemy, kills gay men, subjugates women and has little freedom of speech and expression.

Coronavirus: what we know so far about the outbreak spreading in China and abroad
Is Hillary Clinton angling to become vice president?
A number of people in politics, the media and elsewhere are openly speculating that if Democrats wind up with a “brokered convention,” with no strong or viable nominee evident, Hillary Clinton might enter the arena as the “savior” who could unite the delegates and go on to defeat President Donald Trump.
Clinton herself seemed to throw shade at that theory during an interview with Variety at the Sundance Film Festival. When asked about the “urge” to beat Trump, the former Democratic nominee said, “Yeah. I certainly feel the urge because I feel the 2016 election was a really odd time and an odd outcome. And the more we learn, the more that seems to be the case. But I’m going to support the people who are running now and do everything I can to help elect the Democratic nominee.”
Several politically savvy Democrats have told me that “everything” may be a much more plausible and powerful scenario.

Streatham shooting: One dead, two injured after terrorist knife rampage in London street (express, Feb 2, 2020)
https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1236891/streatham-high-street-shooting-police-london-knife-crime-helicopter
“A MASSIVE anti-terror police operation involving a dozens of armoured police vehicles with helicopter support has left a man dead on a London high street.
The shooting took place in broad daylight in Streatham High Road outside a Boots chemist after a man apparently stabbed two people. The Metropolitan Police have declared the attack as “terrorist related”. They wrote on Twitter: “A Man has been shot by armed officers in Streatham. At this stage it is believed a number of people have been stabbed. The circumstances are being assessed; the incident has been declared as terrorist-related.”
Reports suggest a female cyclist was “stabbed in the back” but Lambeth police only said on Twitter they are dealing with a situation in Streatham.
The area is now on a lockdown as officers on the ground are telling people to “get back for their safety.”
Reports claim that a man attacked the cyclist with “a knife grabbed from a shop and police shot him” and the man “appeared to be dead”.
An eye-witness said on Twitter: “Streatham High Road where two people are being treated by doctors in body armour.”
Another person posted a picture of an armed officer seen checking a bag after the individual was shot by police.
Dave Chawner posted on Twitter he stayed with one of the stab victims for 30 minutes before an ambulance arrived.
He added: “I’m just over one mile from a hospital . I’m not having a go at anyone, but that’s not right I just hope he made it.”

Pictured: Streatham terrorist named as teenage Isis supporter Sudesh Amman
The teenage terrorist shot dead on a south London street today has been named as Sudesh Amman.
He had been released from prison just days earlier after serving half of a three year sentence for spreading extremist propaganda.
Amman, 19, had shared bomb-making manuals with relatives and fantasised about carrying out moped-mounted acid attacks.
He told his girlfriend she should kill her ‘kuffar’ parents and said he was planning a terrorist attack in northwest London, during Skype chats.
The former science and maths student at North West London College scrawled notes replicating recipes for making homemade plastic explosives in a purple notebook.
Amman posted a link to a pdf copy of the Isis ‘Inspire’ magazine focusing on the idea of the ‘Lone Jihad’ in a family WhatsApp group in January this year. This is a breaking story and will be updated.

DAILY MAIL – Revealed: Terrorist shot dead after stabbing two people in south London attack is named as Sudesh Amman, 19, who was freed just days ago after serving jail term for distributing extremist material
Officers arrived at the scene outside a supermarket on High Road in Streatham, south London, at 2pm today
Scotland Yard said that three were injured in the horrific attack – with one man in life-threatening condition
The terrorist shot dead by police has been named as Sudesh Amman, 19, released a few days ago from jail
Amman had been jailed for three years and four months in December 2018 for committing 13 terror offences
However, after serving half of his sentence, the terrorist is believed to have been released just a few days ago

the telegraph – Streatham attack latest: knifeman named as Sudesh Amman who previously had terror conviction – live updates
Alexis Boon, then head of the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command, said at the time of his conviction that Amman had a “fierce interest in violence and martyrdom”.
He explained: “His fascination with dying in the name of terrorism
[ in the name of Allah!!!]was clear in a notepad we recovered from his home. Amman had scrawled his ‘life goals’ in the notepad and top of the list, above family activities, was dying a martyr and going to ‘Jannah’ – the afterlife[ Jannah = Muslim paradise ]“It’s not clear how Amman became radicalised but it is apparent from his messages that it had been at least a year in development. Whatever the circumstances, this case is a reminder of the need to be vigilant to signs of radicalisation and report it.”
The Telegraph understands the attacker was a convicted terrorist called Sudesh Amman.
He was jailed in 2018 after admitting 13 terror offences and was described by police as “knife obsessed” and previously said he was “armed and ready” to carry out an attack.
The terrorist stockpiled a combat knife, air gun and black flag at his family home in London.
He was released halfway through his prison sentence.
He sent beheadings videos to his girlfriend and advised her to kill her “kuffar” parents.
Amman told her: “If you can’t make a bomb because family, friends or spies are watching or suspecting you, take a knife, molotov, sound bombs or a car at night and attack the tourists (crusaders), police and soldiers of taghut, or western embassies in every country you are in this planet.”
Amman was also found with a bomb-making manual.
[…]”There were concerns about this individual when he was in prison – around things he was saying – but there were no powers available to any of the authorities to keep him behind bars.
“He had reached the automatic halfway point, halfway release point in his sentence and there was nothing that could be done to keep him locked behind bars.”

Democrat Mike Bloomberg’s Anti-Gun Super Bowl Ad Makes Wildly Misleading Claims On Child Gun Deaths
Democrat presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg’s $10 million anti-gun ad that is set to air during the Super Bowl tomorrow makes false claims about child gun deaths and falsely suggests that the victim highlighted in the commercial was a child when he was tragically killed.
The one minute ad features Calandrian Simpson Kemp talking about the loss of her son, George Kemp, who was killed in a shooting in 2013.
The emotional ad then states, “2,900 CHILDREN DIE FROM GUN VIOLENCE EVERY YEAR.” However, the claim is not attributable to any source.

AK-Armed Gang Attacks on South Africa’s Gold Mines Have Reached Level of ‘Anarchy’, Top Miner Says (sputniknews, Feb 2, 2020)
https://sputniknews.com/africa/202002021078206591-ak-armed-gang-attacks-on-south-africas-gold-mines-have-reached-level-of-anarchy-top-miner-says/
“As many as 19 attacks, many involving firearms, were carried out on South African gold mines last year. Miners have reported fatalities in the incidents, with police abstaining from interfering in some of them.
South Africa has witnessed a growing wave of armed attacks on local gold mines, Bloomberg reported, citing a recent case that occurred last December. In the incident, 15 thugs armed with AK-47 and R6 assault rifles took hostages and plundered the smelting plant at Gold Fields’s South Deep mine, at the country’s landmark Witwatersrand basin.
The group managed to break into some of the vaults, but not the central one, and spent three hours there before escaping the scene with bullion worth a staggering $500,000.
This robbery was closely followed by an attack, albeit a repelled one, on Sibanye Gold Ltd.’s Cooke mine in early January.
Another headline-making incident occurred in May last year, Bloomberg recounted, as 50 robbers stormed security at Gold One International Ltd.’s smelting plant, with police refusing to get involved after being fired on by the criminals. The mining enterprise, the nation’s largest, has since zeroed in on private security, hiring professional guards that currently work shifts wearing bulletproof jackets and patrolling the mine premises in special armoured vehicles.
The measure seems to be prudent, as at least two mining companies, Harmony Gold Mining Co Ltd. and DRDGold Ltd., reported fatalities during assaults in the last quarter of 2019
“Mining companies are being attacked by thugs and armed gangs and there is a lack of police response”, said Neal Froneman, chief executive officer of Sibanye Gold Ltd., which countered an attack on its mine last month. “It eventually has a knock-on impact into society, it’s lawlessness, it’s anarchy”, he contended.
Despite measures increasingly being taken to boost protection, the arms at the disposal of thugs and those of security personnel are worlds apart. The disparity in weapons is part of the problem, Gold One’s head of security, Nash Lutchman, pointed out, comparing the criminals’ AKs to the company’s shotguns and 9-millimetre pistols.
According to him, the attacks are thoroughly planned out long beforehand, and insider knowledge is apparently widely used as well.
There were 19 attacks on gold facilities last year, almost double the 2018 number, according to South Africa’s Minerals Council, despite the country’s new President Cyril Ramaphosa prioritising battling the sweeping crime rate in the country – an inheritance of the post-apartheid decades. An estimated 100 kilograms or more of gold was stolen in 2019 as bullion soared to a five-year high, although not all companies openly disclosed their losses, the council explained.”
Syrian TV Reports Several Journalists Covering Syrian Army Op in Aleppo Injured (sputniknews, Feb 2, 2020)

At the same time, according to another state-run news agency SANA, two of the injured journalists are cameramen from Iranian broadcasters.
The incident comes days after Syrian national and veteran journalist for RT Arabic Wafa Shabrouney was seriously injured while documenting arms depots left after militants withdrew from the city of Maarat al-Numan in Idlib.
Later on, the journalist was taken to the Kirov Military Medical Academy clinic in the Russian city of St. Petersburg.”

French Bishop Concerned over Anti-Christian Attacks In His Diocese (breitbart, Feb 2, 2020)
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/02/02/french-bishop-concerned-over-anti-christian-attacks-in-his-diocese/
“Jean-Claude Boulanger, the bishop of Bayeux-Lisieux, has expressed concern over the rise in violence and hatred toward Christians within his own diocese in recent months.
The bishop stated that he made a report to the local public prosecutor in Caen following a series of attacks against Christians that began in October of last year, France Bleu reports.
The area has seen three separate attacks against Christians since October, with the first taking place on Sunday, October 13th when a gang of youths attacked a bus full of pilgrims, including several people who were ill, after they had returned from Lourdes to Caen.
Earlier this month, two more attacks took place. The first saw a dozen hooded youths attacking more pilgrim buses, this time with paint, while the second saw anti-Christian symbols painted on the student Champaincy building near the Abbey of Sainte-Trinité.
“Going after young people is not acceptable,” Bishop Boulanger said.
“People who demonstrate have the right to demonstrate. It is the right of our democracy. But we do not attack pilgrims and young people who pray. We have the right to be respected in this country,” he added.
“I respect those who do not share my convictions. I do not understand this hatred. That they reach me, yes, I am old … but that they target young people? No.”
The attacks in the area are just some of the many anti-Christian attacks that occur with frequency and regularity in France.
According to a 2019 report, France sees an average of three anti-Christian attacks per day — many of them are attacks on churches and cathedrals.
Many attacks involve robberies alongside vandalism. An attack that took place on a church in the commune of Tarbes in November of last year, saw human faeces used to soil prayer books.”

Several people stabbed in ‘terrorism-related incident’ in London
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/02/02/man-shot-dead-after-terrorist-related-stabbings-in-streatham-london/
A man has been shot following multiple stabbings in Streatham, South London, in an incident which has been declared “terrorist-related”.
The man, said to have been shot by Metropolitan Police officers, is confirmed dead.
Security sources have told Sky News they believe the attack was “Islamist” in nature.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has responded to the attack on social media, thanking “all emergency services responding to the incident in Streatham, which the police have now declared as terrorism-related” and offering his “thoughts are with the injured and all those affected.”
Footage of government officials in Wuhan appearing to take face masks intended for health workers battling the highly infectious coronavirus has fuelled a growing wave of anger over how Chinese authorities have handled the outbreak.
Images of medical staff making protective equipment out of rubbish bags, sleeping in hospitals, and crying in frustration and exhaustion have dominated Chinese social media over the last two weeks, inspiring an outpouring of sympathy and donations of supplies.
A video posted by Beijing News on Sunday appeared to show government workers taking some of those donated supplies. A statement from the Wuhan government said that personnel attending a meeting on emergency supplies on Saturday had “received masks and other related protective supplies” from China’s Red Cross, which is overseeing donations.

Police shoot suspected stabber in Belgium – immediately after London attack (PHOTOS)
Police in the Belgian city of Ghent have shot an injured a knife-wielding woman, after she stabbed two people. The incident took place around an hour after a “terrorist” knifeman was shot dead by police in London.
According to Belgian news site HLN, a dark-skinned woman attacked two passers-by with a knife on the Bevrijdingslaan street in central Ghent. The woman reportedly stabbed one of her victims in the stomach.
An investigation has been opened, and the East Flanders Public Prosecutor’s Office has declined to comment at time of writing.
The attack came around an hour after police in London shot dead a suspected terrorist in the suburb of Streatham. The man attacked several people with a knife, and two victims have been reported injured.
In scenes similar to those in London, police in Ghent have cordoned off the Bevrijdingslaan, and emergency services are securing the area.

Yes, this is Canada where Imams sit down during the Canadian National Anthem and the Muslim members of Parliament don’t seem to mind, they certainly NEVER object. Oh geez I forgot I am not supposed to say a damn word.
geeez I do forget what I am allowed to say at times. Is M-103 a motion to silence any critics of Islamists in Canada and to expand the narrative of VICTIMHOOD? Is this a way of introducing blasphemy laws into Canada? OMG who introduced such a motion?
Abdul A’la Maududi said:
“Islam wishes to destroy all states and governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the nation which rules it. Islam does not intend to confine this revolution to a single State or a few countries; the aim of Islam is TO BRING ABOUT A UNIVERISAL REVOLUTION”.
geeez I do forget what I am allowed to say at times>
“geez” shows self-restraint, avoiding offensive. blasphemy
“damn” is similarly ok, as long as you don’t add “dog” spelled backwards.
