Ex-Neighbor Of San Bernardino Shooter Charged As ‘Straw Purchaser’ Of Assault Rifles

CBS News

[…] According to the affidavit, Marquez moved to Riverside and met next-door neighbor Farook in approximately 2005. After their initial meeting, Farook introduced Marquez to Islam, and, in 2007, Marquez converted to Islam, prosecutors said.

[…]

In late 2011, according to the affidavit, Marquez and Farook started planning to use firearms and explosives to carry out terrorist acts – attacks that Marquez told investigators were designed to maximize the number of casualties that could be inflicted.

The affidavit recounts a recent interview with Marquez in which he is said to have admitted making plans with Farook to attack the library or cafeteria at Riverside Community College (RCC), where both men had been students.

The plan allegedly was to throw pipe bombs into the cafeteria area from an elevated position on the second floor, and then to shoot people as they fled, according to prosecutors.

Marquez and Farook also allegedly planned to attack eastbound lanes of State Route 91 (SR-91) during afternoon rush hour, according to the affidavit. Marquez told investigators that they chose a particular section of the freeway because there were no exits, which would increase the number of targets in the eastbound lanes.

The plan, prosecutors say, was for Farook to throw pipe bombs on to the freeway, which they believed would disable vehicles and stop traffic. Farook allegedly planned to then move among stopped vehicles, shooting into them, while Marquez shot into vehicles from a position on a nearby hillside.

Marquez allegedly said that he would watch for law enforcement and emergency vehicles, and his priority was to shoot law enforcement before shooting life-saving personnel.

Another small tranche of Islamic induced misery on the world: Links 2 on Dec. 17 – 2015

1. “The Turks have decided to lick the Americans in a certain place” -Vladimir Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin has used crude language in a furious new attack on Turkey over the shooting down of a Russian combat jet last month.

“The Turks”, he said, had “decided to lick the Americans in a certain place”.

He was giving his wide-ranging annual news conference.

Touching on next year’s US presidential election, the Russian leader called Donald Trump a “very colourful, talented person” and the “absolute frontrunner in the presidential race”.

Mr Putin is now into his third term as president since 2000, battling an economic crisis. Critics say civil liberties have been steadily eroded under his rule.

He remains one of the world’s most recognisable politicians, and has topped the list of The World’s Most Powerful People compiled by Forbes magazine for the third year running.

2. Diana West: Republican And Democratic Elites Moving America Towards Socialism

West told Breitbart News Daily host Stephen K. Bannon that the latest, trillion dollar budget deal reflects the priorities of Republican and Democratic elites, but doesn’t reflect real conservatism.

“It is the definition of what the party elites are, the people in power are, but I don’t think it’s the definition of what a conservative is.”

She also argued that they are sending America down a path to socialism.

“There has been this movement really for 80 years in our history, of socialization….in terms of introducing the tools and mechanisms and practices of socialism into our economy, into our thinking, into our culture” West said. “Even on the right side of the spectrum there is very little consciousness that theres anything else or that there ever was anything else. “

A local businesswoman is in a serious condition in hospital after she was hit over the head by police officer during the Geldermalsen riots on Wednesday evening, the Telegraaf reported. Saskia van Kessel, who is an estate agent, was on her way home when she was beaten and will be in hospital for up to three weeks, her lawyer told the paper. Van Kessel was at the town hall meeting as former chairwoman of the local entrepreneurs’ association. She opposes the decision to locate a refugee centre for 1,500 people on the edge of the town and is involved in managing property on the industrial estate where it will be situated.

Truckers forced to slow on motorways near the cross-Channel port had their lorries attacked, with locks broken and roofs slashed as migrants tried to climb inside, witnesses said.

One said that French police used tear gas to try to disperse the crowds but appeared to be “overwhelmed” by the large numbers of migrants.

Another described the crowds as looking like something from “the aftermath of a football match”, with many migrants carrying white flags or banners.

Hundreds of migrants and refugees are storming the roads near the Channel Tunnel in Calais, some ‘armed with iron bars and hammers,’ according to reports.

According to a vigilante group in the French port town, there have been clashes between riot police and migrants as dozens tried to storm the tunnel and climb into lorries in a bid to reach the UK.

Several videos uploaded by the group, calling themselves ‘Angry Calaisians’, shows dozens of people, mainly young men, runs across the roads.

Some 800 to 1,000 migrants tried on Thursday to break into the Channel Tunnel near France’s port city Calais in a desperate bid to reach Britain, local officials said.

“We noted the presence of 800 to 1,000 migrants” near the tunnel, a local official told AFP, as a police source described the number seeking to cross the Channel as “unprecedented” for a single day.

“As they approached the tunnel, several migrants tried hard to slow down the flow of traffic so they could climb into the trucks,” the source said.

(Determined to not have to obey the laws of the countries they invade, hundreds of migrants chant no to being fingerprinted so that they can be registered as refugees and entered into the system)

ROME (Reuters) – Some 200 mostly Eritrean migrants protested against asylum rules on the island of Lampedusa on Thursday as the European Union steps up pressure on frontline countries to enforce the regulations.

A video posted on a Sicilian news site showed a group of men, women and children wearing jackets and winter hats marching along the island’s cactus-lined roads and chanting in front of city hall.

“We are human beings! No fingerprints! We want freedom! We want to move from the camps! Italia respect our rights!” they shouted in English. Some also carried signs in both English and Italian. One read: “We are refugees. No fingerprints”.

Humanitarian organization Arci in Sicily said some of the protesters had been on the island for more than a month, held there because they had refused to give their fingerprints as EU law requires. Some have also begun hunger strikes, it said.

9. Montreal teen convicted of terrorism-related offences

A Montreal-area teen was found guilty of two terrorism-related charges on Thursday, becoming the first Canadian convicted of attempting to leave the country to participate in terrorism-related activities.

The 16-year-old, who cannot be named, was impassive as Youth court Judge Dominique Wilhelmy found him guilty of the offences.

He was facing two charges: committing a robbery in association with a terrorist organization and planning to leave Canada to participate in the activities of a terrorist group abroad — namely the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

“It is a first, it is a new infraction and it is the first conviction,” federal prosecutor Marie-Eve Moore told reporters. […] The defence argued that the boy, 15 at the time of the offence, was confused and only wanted to go to Syria to help fellow Muslims.

Reuters: Riot in Dutch town over plan for asylum-seeker center

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Dutch police on Wednesday fired warning shots in an effort to disperse a crowd, as a protest against plans to house asylum-seekers in a small town turned into a riot.

Police in Geldermalsen, near Utrecht, said via their official Twitter account they had “so far made numerous arrests, it’s is not clear yet how many”. No serious injuries were reported.

Images and videos of the incident showed dozens of youths tearing down fences, throwing beer bottles and fireworks at police, and chanting slogans against the proposed center for asylum-seekers.

According to national broadcaster NOS, around 2,000 people joined the protest in a town of 27,000.

A meeting of the town’s council to decide on whether to build the center to house 1,500 asylum-seekers had to be halted. A regional broadcaster showed footage of the meeting being evacuated by shouting policemen as rioters sought to force their way into the building. […]

DHS Whistleblower Philip Haney in Open Letter to Congress: No Confidence in Administration’s Vetting Process

A report from a DHS Whistle Blower, Philip B. Haney

WASHINGTON (Dec. 16, 2015): Today,  13-year Department of Homeland Security veteran, Philip Haney, released an open letter to Members of Congress, writing that he, “no longer [has] the confidence this administration can adequately vet or screen refugees or immigrants from Islamic countries.” (full text below)
Since becoming a whistleblower, Haney has met repeatedly with Members of Congress and their staffs in closed-door sessions, warning them of both the inadequacies of the Obama administration’s screening processes and the shut down of his investigation into extremist groups tied to both perpetrators of the San Bernardino terrorist attack.
On Fox News, Haney described an ill-advised action by DHS’ Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties to terminate an investigation into groups associated to the Deobandi Movement and other Islamist groups. http://bit.ly/1IK0ML6
“This investigation could possibly have prevented the San Bernardino jihadist attack by identifying its perpetrators, Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, based on their associations with these groups.”
 
About Philip Haney
Philip Haney served in Passenger Analysis Units at the Department of Homeland Security in Atlanta and at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s National Targeting Center. His responsibilities included in-depth research into individuals and organizations with potential links to terrorism. After almost a year of research and tracking the Deobandi movement, Department of Homeland Security stopped the investigation, at the request of the Department of State and its own Civil Rights Civil Liberties Division, claiming that tracking individuals related to these groups was a violation of the travellers’ civil liberties. Haney says, “The administration was more concerned about the civil rights and liberties of foreign Islamic groups with terrorist ties than the safety and security of Americans.”
15 December, 2015
An Open Letter to Members of Congress:
In the aftermath of the most devastating and lethal jihadist attack in the United States since 9/11, Americans are rightly angry their government will not face the problem of Islamic terrorism honestly. I know this first-hand.
During my 13 years at the Department of Homeland Security, I worked tirelessly to identify and prevent terrorism in the United States. As a recognized “founding member” of DHS, it was among my responsibilities to raise concern, not only about the individuals primed for imminent attack, but about the networks and ideological support that makes those terrorist attacks possible.
I investigated numerous groups such as the Deobandi Movement, Tablighi Jamaat, and al-Huda as their members traveled into and out of the United States in the course of my work. Many were traveling on the visa waiver program, which minimizes the checks and balances due to agreements with the countries involved. But the scrutiny we were authorized to apply was having results. This investigation could possibly have prevented the San Bernardino jihadist attack by identifying its perpetrators, Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, based on their associations with these groups.
Almost a year into this investigation, it was halted by the State Department and the DHS Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. They not only stopped us from connecting more dots, the records of our targets were deleted from the shared DHS database. The combination of Farook’s involvement with the Dar Al Uloom Al Islamiyah Mosque and Malik’s attendance at al-Huda would have indicated, at minimum, an urgent need for comprehensive screening. Instead, Malik was able to avoid serious vetting upon entering the United States on a fiancé visa—and more than a dozen Americans are dead as a result.
The investigation was not stopped because it was ineffective, it was stopped because the Administration told us the civil rights of the foreign nationals we were investigating could be violated. When did foreign nationals gain civil rights in the United States, especially when they are associated with groups we already know are involved in terrorist activity? Based on what I have seen in the Department of Homeland Security, I no longer have the confidence this administration can adequately vet or screen refugees or immigrants from Islamic countries.
I took my story to the American people last week. Remarkably this week, DHS’ former acting under-secretary for intelligence and analysis, John Cohen, told ABC News that under the direction of DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, potential immigrants’ social media activity was off-limits to those responsible for screening.
Just as they did when they halted my investigation in 2012—which could have provided key intelligence and potentially saved over a dozen lives—DHS described a potential “civil liberties backlash” if the law enforcement officials tasked with keeping our country secure did the most basic checks on potential travelers, immigrants and refugees. Parents checking on someone their child may be dating look at social media, but our law enforcement officials can’t?
This administration has a deadly blind spot when it comes to Islamic terrorism. It is not willing to allow proper vetting and screening of refugees or immigrants from Islamic countries; Congress must take action to defend the security of the American people.
I understand the desire to welcome as many immigrants and refugees as possible, especially those fleeing dangerous conflict zones. However, this administration has handcuffed law enforcement officials tasked with vetting these individuals appropriately and that places the American people in danger.

Fox News’ Catherine Herridge has received confirmation from the intelligence community that at least two of the emails Hillary Clinton received on her private, unsecure server as secretary of state were not only classified, but “top secret.”

The sources, who were not authorized to speak on the record, told Fox News that while the emails were indeed “top secret” when they hit Clinton’s server, one of them remains “top secret” to this day — and must be handled at the highest security level. The second email is still considered classified but at the lower “secret” level because more information is publicly available about the event.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — A member of the US Army National Guard pleaded guilty to intending to provide material support to Daesh, also known as Daesh, the US Justice Department said in a press release on Monday.

Edmonds admitted that he conspired with his cousin, Jonas Edmonds, to send a letter to Daesh indicating their willingness to fight on the terrorist group’s behalf.

Daesh is designated a terrorist organization by numerous countries, including Russia, where it is outlawed.

2. Iran Breaches The Nuclear Deal

(Not sure why I am posting this. Its pretty obvious to all who watched the process that the idea wasn’t to have a deal with Iran but to provide a cover for Obama to undo all the sanctions that prevented Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and stop nations from trading with them)

Not long after signing the nuclear deal, the ruling clerics of the Islamist state of Iran have clearly breached the agreement and several of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions. What is the Obama administration’s response? He is turning a blind eye to this vital issue. The administration is ignoring these blatant violations and continuing with its efforts to lift sanctions on the Ayatollah’s regime.

The Joint Plan of Action Agreement (JCPOA), which was reached between the six world powers and Iran, clearly mentions “addressing UN Security Council (UNSC) resolutions” regarding the Islamic Republic. Specifically, the JCPOA (UNSCR 2231 Annex II, paragraph three) states that Iran should not undertake any ballistic missiles activity “until the date eight years after the JCPOA Adoption Day or until the date on which the IAEA submits a report confirming the Broader Conclusion, whichever is earlier.”

3. Angela Merkel must be quite afraid of some kind of coup within her party to give this speech.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s refugee policy has attracted praise from all over the world. Time magazine and the Financial Times newspaper recently named her Person of the Year, and delegates applauded her for so long at her party’s convention on Monday that she had to stop them.

The speech that followed, however, may have surprised supporters of her policies: “Multiculturalism leads to parallel societies and therefore remains a ‘life lie,’ ” or a sham, she said, before adding that Germany may be reaching its limits in terms of accepting more refugees. “The challenge is immense,” she said. “We want and we will reduce the number of refugees noticeably.”

6. Forget The UK’s Trump Petition, 1.5 Million Hungarians Have Signed To Stop The EU’s Asylum Policies

After a quick petition by the long-standing anti-Trump obsessive, Suzanne Kelly, and numerous headlines later – it soon transpired that Mr. Trump was right about a lot of what he said.

And while American politics is perhaps more glamorous than Hungarian politics, it is worth noting that your news wire agencies, and of course that bastion of global, independent reporting – the BBC – have barely uttered a peep about a petition that is rampaging across Hungary; the country in the front line of Europe’s migration crisis.

While some 550,000 Britons (or so we’re told) have signed a petition attempting to block Mr. Trump’s entry to the United Kingdom (representing some 0.8 per cent of the UK) – over 1.5 million Hungarians have petitioned against the EU’s ongoing, open border, open arms, open society asylum policy. That’s 15 per cent of Hungarians.

7. Hundreds of migrants arriving in Norway had mobile phones containing images of executions, severed heads and dead children, police reveal

Hundreds of asylum-seekers entering Norway were discovered to have images of ‘executions’ and ‘severed heads’ on their mobile phones.

The revelation comes amid heightened fears that ISIS is exploiting the migrant crisis to smuggle fighters into Europe, following last month’s attacks in Paris.

Police admitted that the ‘explosion’ of refugees crossing into the country over the summer and in recent months meant that security checks were less thorough than required, and weren’t checking the background of those entering the country.

Concern: Fears are growing that ISIS is using the migrant crisis to sneak jihadists into Europe, after Norwegian police found 'hundreds' of brutal images of executions on refugees' mobile phones. Pictured, a mounted policeman leads a group of refugees and migrants near Dobova, Slovenia

8. Iran sentenced woman to be stoned on Human Rights Day

The Islamic Republic of Iran, which chairs the UN Women’s Board, ordered that a woman be stoned to death on Human Rights day. According to the Bouroujerdi Civil Rights Group, the woman who is known as A.Kh was sentenced to death due to adultery charges. She had previously been sentenced to 25 years in prison for participating together with S.A. in the murder of her husband, Araash Babapoor Tabrizi-Nejad. S.A. also got 100 lashes for adultery. According to the report, there is a chance that A.Kh’s stoning verdict can be reduced to execution in the gallows.

According to Iranian human rights activist Kaveh Taheri, “69 stoning penalties have reportedly been implemented by the Islamic Republic of Iran between March 1980 and July 2010 that were announced by news agencies. But at least 99 to 209 stonings were allegedly carried out under Iran’s Islamic Penal Code. 15 people survived the stoning. Three stoning sentences were converted to execution by the gallows.”

Los Angeles Unified School District schools were closed and all students already at school were sent home Tuesday morning due to a possible threat, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

The FBI was notified and the threat is being analyzed, school police said. All schools are being searched by law enforcement agents, a sweep that will likely take the rest of the day due to the district’s size, Cortines said.

The 45-year-old teacher was preparing for one of his classes when he was attacked by a masked man armed with a box cutter and scissors.

The chief prosecutor in the case, Agnetha Hilding Qvarnström, had told the court that movies in which two men have their heads cut off, proved that the two accused were present when the murders were committed and that they belonged to a terror organization.

3. ISIS Issues Fatwa Calling For Mass Killing Of American Dogs And Puppies

A chilling report issued by the Main Intelligence Directorate General Staff of the Armed Forces (GRU) is warning today that the pet dogs and puppies of American owners have now become “targets for death” after the Islamic State’s (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh) top religious scholar, Turki al-Bin‘ali, issued a fatwa authorizing the immediate mass slaughter of these beloved animals by their terrorist supporters currently residing in the United States.

According to this report, this Islamic legal pronouncement (fatwa) issued by the Islamic State Caliphates main ideological-religious leader, who currently resides under the protection of the US at their Bahrain naval base (NSAB), was in response to queries from many of their younger American “sympathizers/supporters” wanting to wage jihad but fearful of being captured or killed—or not being of sufficient age to “obtain/purchase” weapons.

Turki al-Bin‘ali’s response to these American followers, as outlined in his fatwa published earlier today in the Islamic State’s online magazine Dabiq, this report continues, was that while although the main duty of jihad was to “kill/destroy/main” as many infidels (non-believers/Christians/Jews, etc.) as possible, no matter what the cost, it is entirely acceptable, also, to strike fear into these Westerners by the mass murdering of their dogs and puppies.

Nadir Syed, 22, has been convicted of plotting an IS-inspired terror attack in London.

A British man has been convicted of plotting a London knife attack inspired by so-called Islamic State.

Nadir Syed, 22, from Southall, was found guilty at Woolwich Crown Court of the terror plot, intended to coincide with last year’s Remembrance Sunday.

The jury was unable to reach verdicts on his cousin Yousaf Syed, 20 or Haseeb Hamayoon, 28, and a retrial has been ordered.

(At least Hitler didn’t kill dogs)

ISIS have issued a fatwa which orders children with Down’s syndrome and other disabilities to be killed in a chilling echo to the workings of the Nazis, it is claimed.

Sharia judges have apparently ruled that ISIS followers are authorised to ‘kill newborn babies with Down’s Syndrome or congenital deformities and disabled children’ in their latest sickening act.

More than 38 children born with deformities and Down’s syndrome, aged between one week and three months, have already been killed by lethal injection or suffocation, according to Iraqi activist group Mosul Eye. 

The organisation, which released the a video report highlighting the depraved acts, said the killings took place in ISIS strongholds in Syria and Mosul, northern Iraq.

7. Participant in China Xinjiang attack was brainwashed – report

 

 

 

BEIJING (Reuters) – A participant in a September attack on a coal mine in China’s far western region of Xinjiang that killed 16 people said he had been brainwashed to believe he was going to heaven, a state-run paper reported on Monday.

Hundreds of people have been killed in the past few years in the region, which is home to the mainly Muslim Uighur people, in violence blamed by the government on Islamist militants seeking an independent state called East Turkestan.

China only admitted last month the mine attack had happened, when it said its security forces had killed 28 of the “terrorists” involved. Since then it has released further details in dribs and drabs.

In the latest report on the incident and government efforts to hunt down the perpetrators, the official Xinjiang Daily said one of the suspects could not stand life on the run, and gave himself up to his grandfather, a former Communist Party official.

(People should not translate Islam’s notion of the afterlife as ‘heaven’ anymore than they should translate allah as God. There simply is no relationship except at the most superficial level. It is interesting that this paper put “terrorists” in full quotes though. If these people are not terrorists then who is?)

A Russian missile cruiser and a coast guard powerboat had to intervene after a merchant vessel flying the Turkish flag blocked a convoy transporting two drill platforms to a new location in Moscow’s territorial waters.

The decision to relocate them closer to Crimea was caused by the complicated international situation, according to a press release from the Russian Chernomorneftegaz state company which owns the platforms.

While the two rigs were being moved to their new location, a vessel under the Turkish flag crossed the convoy’s path.

“Acting in violation of regulations for preventing collisions and against the generally-accepted conventions of navigation, the Turkish vessel failed to get out of the way of the convoy. It approached crossways and attempted to stop its course, thus creating potential for a collision,” Chernomorneftegaz said in a statement, stressing that the captain of the Turkish vessel operated radio silence despite requests to respond.

11. France forced to step up security at schools

(This may be the best example of an insane policy of all time. Bring in millions of people who intend to kill you. Deny they intend to kill you. Subsidize their schools and community centers where they amplify their dogma and then hire them to protect you from them because you don’t have enough of your own people to do it and even if you do, they outnumber your security services and don’t care if they die in the attacks. Deport the muslims, close the mosques and then send the school guards back to the stations.)

On Monday afternoon, the teacher admitted to making up the entire story about being attacked, according to the prosecutor. However, his claims had sent shockwaves throughout the country, prompting a strong reaction from the French government.

Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, France’s minister of education called the alleged attack on the nursery school teacher near Paris “an unacceptable act of immense gravity”.

The minister confirmed that security would be stepped up at schools in the country, where measures are already in place following the Paris attacks of November 13th.

Muslims in Finland mock Christianity, the dead and a cemetery on video

This is an original translation by Liberty Dk. 

From this Swedish Newspaper

FINLAND

A video clip of a group of refugees who move around in a cemetery in a city in Finland while mocking Christianity, as well as the Finns who are buried there, has brought up strong feelings in Finland. Now the men who appear in the video, and who live in an asylum center in the city have apologized.

The video, uploaded to Facebook, shows how Arab refugee caper about and make fun in a cemetery in the city of Kangasala in Finland. Among other things, the man recites verses from the Koran, pretending to lament the dead who are buried in the cemetery and making derisive sign of the cross. All the while his comrades were laughing and filming the act.

The men themselves uploaded the video to Facebook, which then rapidly spread even amongst Finns who reacted with disgust at the disrespect shown by the refugees. Among other things, the blog MV Lehti, the Finnish equivalent of the Swedish Avpixlat, highlighted the video.

The post has been commented on by a large number of people including several who have sent death threats to the man in the video.

The refugees in the video come from Iraq and live in an asylum center Kangasala which is run by the Finnish Red Cross. According to the asylum center’s director Katja Ala Kapeen the man in the video regrets his actions.

It was wrong and foolish. The man is sorry for what happened, he did not want to offend anyone, she told the local newspaper Kangasalan Sanomat.

The asylum center in Kangasala received media attention at the end of October by the Finnish national media when the refugees had organized a food protest because they weren’t being served Arabic cuisine.

They sometimes feel that Finnish food is poor as they are accustomed Iraqi food in their homeland, said the Manager Ala Kapeen to the Finnish government and media company YLE in connection with the protest.

A congressional investigation found 72 employees of the Department of Homeland Security  (DHS) were on a terror watchlist at the same time.

“Back in August, we did an investigation—the inspector general did—of the Department of Homeland Security,” Rep. Stephen Lynch (D- Massachusetts) told Boston public radio “and they had 72 individuals that were on the terrorist watch list that were actually working at the Department of Homeland Security.”

“The [former DHS] director had to resign because of that,” he added.

Similar failures were seen in France, where 57 workers at Charles de Gaulle international airport in Paris were found to be on a terror watchlist. A full review of all 1,000 employees was ordered as a result.

Paris:  Secure-zone clearance has been withdrawn for nearly 70 people working at two Paris airports following the November 13 terror attacks on the French capital, the boss of the airports company said today.

So-called red badges are issued to people employed in the secure zone of Roissy-Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports, working for instance as baggage handlers, aircraft cleaners and suppliers.

Augustin de Romanet, Chief Executive Officer of Aeroports de Paris (ADP), said the prefecture — the representative of the state — which issues the badges had carried out a screening after the attacks on Paris, in which 130 people were killed and 350 injured.

6. Migrants: EU opens infringement procedure against Hungary

(ANSA) – BRUSSELS, DECEMBER 11 – The European Commission has today addressed a letter of formal notice to Hungary, opening an infringement procedure concerning the recently adopted Hungarian asylum legislation. The EU Commission has found the Hungarian legislation in some instances to be incompatible with EU law.

Firstly, Brussels is concerned that there is no possibility to refer to new facts and circumstances in the context of appeals and that Hungary is not automatically suspending decisions in case of appeals – effectively forcing applicants to leave their territory before the time limit for lodging an appeal expires, or before an appeal has been heard.

(The fact that the EU is incompatible with EU law seems not to concern them quite as much)

But when it arrived the driver refused to take her home because of Annie’s guide dog Mr Quinn.

Islamic Timelines Fueling Jihad

A new article by Sonia Bailey

First published at Gates of Vienna:

The following guest-essay by Sonia Bailley concerns the demonic convergence of the Al Qaeda and OIC timelines — which is occurring RIGHT NOW.

Islamic Timelines Fueling Jihad
by Sonia Bailley

Summary: With the convergence of two Islamic timelines (al Qaeda, OIC) to destroy the West culminating THIS month (the OIC’s timeline ending Dec. 9th), along with the Muslim Brotherhood’s engagement in violent jihad, as opposed to the softer jihad of dawah (inviting non-believers to Islam, meant only as a preparatory phase to violent jihad), Westerners, as predicted by Major Stephen Coughlin, are in for the biggest shock of their lives in the dark times ahead, beginning this week, especially now that the caliphate has been re-established.

These two Islamic timelines, in addition to two Muslim Brotherhood documents — all of which were ignored by Western leaders — are mobilizing jihadists worldwide. The Muslim Brotherhood’s primary mission of dawah, which shakes the identity and faith of Westerners, making them more vulnerable to Islamic conversion and submission, has reached its goal and is ready to be superseded by the next jihad phase, that being all-out war, or violent jihad. All Islamic groups are working together to wage violent jihad on the West. Their intention to do so began ever since the first caliphate was abolished in 1924.

All-out war with the West has begun. With the culmination of two Islamic timelines imposing Islamic law or Sharia worldwide converging this month, in fact one this week, things are bound to get worse. More deadly terror attacks are expected worldwide as a result of this, as forecasted by Major Stephen Coughlin, a former U.S. army intelligence officer and Pentagon expert on Islamic law of jihad. The timelines are building momentum in parallel, with one plan using violent jihad to destroy the West, and the other using soft jihad to destroy Western civil liberties through the use of Sharia-compliant UN resolutions and hate speech codes to curtail any discussion or analysis of Islam.

Al Qaeda’s 20-year plan to violently impose Sharia on the West in stages is just entering Phase Six (2016-2020) of “Total Confrontation”. This timeline, hatched well before 1996, was known to the West for ten years.

The other death-to-the-West Islamic timeline implemented ten years ago by a highly powerful and influential organization — the world’s second largest intergovernmental organization (next to the United Nations) and largest Islamic organization — is also building momentum in a less violent but parallel way.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the largest voting bloc at the UN (comprising the world’s 57 Islamic states) proposed a Ten-Year Programme of Action (at a two-day summit in Mecca concluding on Dec.9th) to internationally criminalize any criticism of Islam or so-called Islamophobia, culminates this week (December 8th and 9th).

Suspected Pro-Daesh Refugee in Germany Injures 2 Police Officers

An original Translation by Nash Montana

From Focus.De

A refugee shouted pro-Daesh slogans while attacking two German police officers who were responding late on Sunday to reports of a rail fare dodger in a railway station in the northwestern city of Osnabrueck, police said Monday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The man has been identified as a Moroccan asylum seeker by police in the German state of Lower Saxony. No evidence linking the suspect to Daesh terrorist group, also known as ISIL or the Islamic State, has been found.

Police were alerted to the presence of a suspicious commuter by a ticket collector. When police officers attempted to establish his identity, the man attacked them, trying to bite the law enforcers, according to a police account of the incident.

The 23-year-old continued to attack the officers and tried to grab a police pistol even after he was put in handcuffs with the help of a third police officer. All that time, he shouted “Allahu Akhbar” and “Daesh”.

Eventually, officers used pepper spray to subdue the attacker. One officer received a knee injury and another was bitten in the forearm and had a rib cracked. The third officer sprained his hand.

Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom struck again on Friday, infuriating Jerusalem by accusing it of extrajudicial executions and disproportionate force in responding to the current wave of Palestinian terrorism.

According to the Swedish newspaper Expressen, Wallstrom – who has triggered several diplomatic incidents with Israel since taking up her post in October, 2014 – was asked in the Swedish parliament by Liberal MP Mathias Sundin why she has not condemned in strong terms the recent wave of terror in Israel.

5. Al Jazeera: Critics denounce ‘Muslim’ label on California shooters

(Students of logic should look at the article linked above as a target rich environment for fallacies. Nearly every thought is a leap away from logic. Islamic terror is motived by islamic scripture, history and practice in every way and by all sources. Someone who shoots up a school cause he hates his mom or doesn’t like Mondays does so despite their post Christian culture not because of it. So to bring islam in as a motive is correct when it is the motive. The article also claims that media has raced to blame islam for the attacks in San Bernardino. In fact they most certainly should have. But the reality looked more like the video below. which is the media reaction and contortion to self crippling to avoid any reference to the actual motive, which is islam. In fact nearly every statement is 90 degrees from reality or an inversion of the facts.)

A man was stabbed in the ticket hall at Leytonstone station this evening by another man who witnesses say shouted “This is for Syria” as he slashed his throat.

Police said they used a taser on the suspect as he threatened others with a knife.

A Met Police spokesman said: “Police were called at 19:06hrs on Saturday, 5 December, to reports of a stabbing at Leytonstone underground station. The male suspect was reportedly threatening other people with a knife.

“Met officers attended the scene. A man was arrested at 19:14hrs and taken to an east London police station where he remains in custody.

“A Taser was discharged by one of the Met officers.

“Officers from British Transport Police are now dealing with the incident at the scene. We are aware of one man having sustained serious stab injuries. We await details of any other injuries.”

8. Russia accuses US of cover-up over ISIS oil smuggling to Turkey

(It is difficult to blame the Russians. The US is clearly lying and covering for Turkey)

Russia’s defence ministry on Saturday accused the United States of turning a blind eye to the trafficking of oil into Turkey from Syrian areas under Islamic State control, after Washington called the amounts involved insignificant.

“When US officials say they don’t see how the terrorists’ oil is smuggled to Turkey… it smells badly of a desire to cover up these acts,” the ministry said on its Facebook page.

“The declarations of the Pentagon and the State Department seem like a theatre of the absurd,” the statement added, suggesting that Washington “watch the videos taken by its (own) drones which have recently been three times as numerous over the Turkey-Syria border and above the oil zones”.

US special envoy and coordinator for international energy affairs, Amos Hochstein, on Friday said the amount of oil smuggled into Turkey from areas of Syria controlled by the Islamic State group is “of no significance from a volume perspective — both volume of oil and volume of revenue”.

His comments came after Moscow accused Ankara of profiting from the trade.

Russia and Turkey have in recent days traded allegations that they are involved in the illegal trade, further ratcheting up tensions after Turkish jets downed a Russian bomber on the Syrian border.

(Pretty loathsome really)

The amount of oil smuggled into Turkey from areas of Syria controlled by ISIS is economically insignificant, the United States said Friday, after Moscow accused Ankara of profiting from the trade.

US officials said coalition air operations have seriously degraded the militants’ oil infrastructure, but that in any case most of the crude pumped from its wells was absorbed inside Syria’s war zone economy.

Russia and Turkey have in recent days traded allegations that they are involved in the illegal trade, further ratcheting up tensions after Turkish jets downed a Russian bomber on the Syrian border.

Germany has reportedly drawn up plans to prevent sharing intelligence with its Nato ally Turkey as it prepares to support international air strikes against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil).

German Tornado aircraft are to commence reconnaissance flights over Syria and Iraq after the country’s parliament on Friday voted to deploy up to 1,200 military personnel.

Highly unsual measures have been ordered to prevent Turkey getting access to intelligence from the flights, according to Spiegel magazine.

The aircaft are expected to operate from Incirlik airbase in southern Turkey, and as Nato allies, the two countries would normally expect to share intelligence.

At least several hundred Turkish soldiers have been deployed to provide training in northern Iraq’s Mosul region to the Peshmerga and opposition forces against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), a Turkish security source told Reuters on Dec. 4.

“Turkish soldiers have reached the Mosul Bashiqa region. They are there as part of routine training exercises. One battalion has crossed into the region,” the source said, declining to say exactly how many soldiers were deployed.

The Turkish soldiers are training Iraqi troops and the members of the U.S.-led anti-ISIL coalition were aware of the deployment, he added.

Thank you M., Wrath of Khan, CB Sashenka, Gates of Vienna, Buck, and all

This is a little off topic, but then again it isn’t. In fact its spot on. This video is a rebuttal to a message from our self appointed communist language police. It is a much needed one in fact. But make no mistake. Things Marxist flow from the culture up. It starts this way and then it becomes real law. Just like the new US Attorney General explained. If you say things that are true about Islam, but might cause someone to react rationally to it or its institutions or practitioners, then you will be prosecuted despite any residual 1st amendment annoyances. UN resolution 16/18  is now in force.
