1. Homeland Security Dept.: Terrorism not suspected in DC outage

Pepco, the D.C. electric services provider, initially said it had scattered reports of outages for “unknown” reasons, and that it was looking into the matter. Government officials later pointed to an explosion at a southern Maryland power facility as the likely cause for the regional issue.

(Hey anyone notice how many Iranians study electrical engineering in the US and Canada? So many that at one point a university refused to accept them and then was forced to reverse that policy. My guess is below)

2. DHS Admits: 40 American ISIS Thugs Have RETURNED to the United States

Department of Homeland Security secretary Jeh Johnson says dozens of Americans who traveled overseas to train with ISIS militants are now back in the United States.

“As I understand it, of the 180 Americans who have gone overseas to fight in Iraq and Syria, 40 have come back,” said 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl.

“I assume you’re keeping close tabs on those 40?” she asked Johnson.

“We have in fact kept close tabs on those who we believe have left and those who’ve come back,” Johnson responded. “A number have been arrested or investigated and we have systems in place to track these individuals. But you can’t know everything.”

3. Obama: Iran Deal Won’t Include Recognition of Israel

Iran too anti-Semitic to expect such a concession…

President Obama shut down the idea of requiring Iran’s recognition of Israel and its right to exist as part of the Iran nuclear deal, explaining that such a recognition is “akin to saying that we won’t sign a deal unless the nature of the Iranian regime completely transforms.”

Obama made the comments in an interview with NPR’s Steve Inskeep Monday about the controversial nuclear deal, the (disputed) framework for which was agreed upon last week. When Inskeep asked the president why the US would not require Iran’s recognition of Israel as part of the deal, Obama explained that the openly “anti-Semitic” regime could not be expected to accept a demand so contrary to their views… Here’s the excerpt via NPR:

4. UK – LONDON -Syrian Imam Sheihk Abdul Hadi Arwani ‘shot dead in London’ 

Sources confirmed it was believed to be Mr Arwani, a preacher at the An-Noor Mosque in Acton, west London.

The mosque has previously hosted the son of radical preacher Abu Hamza, and was the location for the November 2013 escape of terror suspect Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed, who dressed himself in a burka.

A police source said the mosque had attracted a number of former criminals who have turned to Islam and it was possible that a feud at the mosque had turned violent.

Mr Arwani was advertised as a speaker at an event at the East London Mosque last June and listed as speaking from Syria.

[…] A spokesman said: “At this very early stage detectives retain an open mind regarding the possible motive.”

(The last bit means they already probably know it was another muslim who shot him)

5. South Africa: Halal Food labelling: Christians turn to court

Here are a couple more important links about South Africa today:

5b. Warnings of a new genocide

(I have no doubt they will eliminate the white farmers in SA. What annoys me already is that almost certainly we in North America will be expected to, and will, make up for the massive food shortages they will cause themselves when they do it)

5c. Open letter by black South African to the President concerning what looks like an imminent genocide of the white population.

5d. 15 YO girl intercepted on way to join IS

6. Here is a site which archives a list of hacked sites. This link itself is safe so you can click on the word ‘mirror’ beside any site name you see and it will show you the actual hack that was done to the site. Notice the whole first page is Israeli sites and pretty much every hacker is a muslim hacker for islam. This link is all Islamic State hacks of other people’s sites

7. Obama appears to have given 5 reasons why his deal with Iran should be rejected.

(For once I hope congress listens to him!)

Thank you CB Sashenka, M., AM., Wrath of Khan, Richard and Yucki and so many more.

Its been quite a few years now since this Vlad Tepes Blog project has been started. Things have grown predictably worse along lines readers of this site all saw pretty clearly. Even the deniers are now saying that the world is going straight to hell, even if they are so heavily invested in their own viewpoints that they still cannot see the obvious causes of pretty much all the escalating problems we face now. Buckle up. It will get worse. But nothing is certain. Not the end of our culture or the continuation of it.

2. Gul Ahmad Saeed Accused of Killing 14 in Pakistan Over Marriage Wrangle

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A Pakistani man is suspected of killing his fiancé and nine of her relatives after the woman’s family appeared reluctant to give her permission to marry, police said on Monday.

The 25-year-old suspect, who police identified as Gul Ahmad Saeed, had been on the run since murdering his parents, brother and sister-in-law earlier this year when they obstructed the marriage.

On Sunday, he returned to his town in northwest Pakistan and, with some accomplices, shot dead his fiance, her parents and seven of her siblings, after an uncle had raised his opposition to the marriage, police said.

“The uncle was being very indecisive about the wedding which infuriated Gul Ahmad,” said police officer Mohammad Jamil.

[…] The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan reported that 869 women were murdered in so-called honor killings in 2013, the last year for which data is available.

(Yes but would the local places serve him pizza?)

3. For those who remember the amazing Bill Whittle clip I post so often to this site, you may remember one of the central members of the Frankfurt school he mentioned, a certain Theodor Adorno. Theo created a repugnant system for music called the 12 tone scale which is taught in universities across Canada to this day although from what I can tell, few teachers bother to mention he was a major communist subversive.

I found a rather brilliant example of his musical system at work though and felt it was worth posting anyway.

4. Tory Group Demanding End To Immigration Limits Paid By Left-Wing Campaign Fund

Bright Blue, the “Liberal-Conservative” group that called for more immigration, is funded by the left-wing Joseph Rowntree Foundation Breitbart London can reveal. On Sunday Bright Blue demanded David Cameron abolish migration targets as they “appease a minority of voters who are attracted to UKIP’s prominent position on immigration”.

The group also published a “Modernisers’ Manifesto” last year that was funded through a £5k donation from the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust Limited (JRRT). The company was established in honour of the former Liberal MP and Quaker of the same name. Its stated aim is to fund “political campaigns in the UK to promote democratic reform, civil liberties and social justice.”

6. Islamic state video with executions and crucifixions at the end.

(I sent out the video to see if there is any content in this that would elucidate this issue for us or our associates but in the meantime, this is a screen cap of the crucifixions for those who don’t feel like medicating after seeing the event in video)

8. Retired policeman in the UK speaks at EDL rally on the muslim rape slavery gangs

Albert Burgess a former Metropolitan Police Officer tells the crowd that knowledge is a weapon and the senior officer in charge should have made sure the officers under their command should have done their job properly and would have saved many children from the hands of the Muslim Grooming Gangs.

9. Thousands of Turkish students have raised their voices in online campaigns to build Jedi and Buddhist temples at their universities, after a series of mosques were constructed on their campuses by rectors who stressed “huge demand.”

Karaca’s positive response to an online campaign encouraged university students from other religions around Turkey, as well as many others who launched satirical campaigns to point at what they claimed to be a political emphasis on “religious populism” even as many education institutions lack scientific instruments and research funds.

In one of the counter-campaigns on change.org, more than 25,000 people demanded a Buddhist temple at ?TÜ.

“I can’t fulfill my religious needs because the closest Buddhist temple is 2,000 kilometers away, and I can’t go there during lunch break,” a petitioner named Utku Gürça? Borataç said on the website.

(Thankfully there are still many secular liberals (in the true sense) still in Turkey. If I were they, I would keep an eye on new prisons being built and similar type institutions)

Thank you Buck, M., Richard, Don C. Oz-Rita, DP111 and so many more for their comments, ideas and links. I should have the video soon of the Quebec father. Please make no mistake, that is an important story worthy of research and perhaps even some activism. It should be ready within a couple of hours.

There is a lot to say today. The Houthi thing which is getting drowned out by the general cacophony of islamic horror and slaughter across the world is being looked at closely by Dr. Andrew Bostom who specializes in Islamic antisemitism. What makes this interesting is that their actual slogan includes not just the now common, ‘Death to Israel’ chants but “a curse on the Jews” as well as “victory for Islam.

Dr. Bostom points this out because the Jewish population of Yemen went from something like 50,000 people around the time of the formation of Israel to something like 45 today and who are hunted like game. The New York Times stunningly ran an oped Feb 18 2015 which details exactly this aspect of Houthi ‘culture’ and yet, despite this virtual total annihilation of an entire culture, the Yemeni Jews were quite distinct, they still make hatred of them a central focus of Houthi thought. I view it as a kind of classically Islamic evil-mirror version of a baseball team’s mascot. An evil fetishized mascotism if you will.

Dr. Bostom’s article with details on his thinking on this is published at Pajamas Media

4. FBI Warns U.S. Companies of Cyber Terror

The FBI is warning U.S. companies that cyber terrorists from the Middle East and North Africa are planning to conduct cyber attacks against Israeli and Jewish interests next week.

The Bureau stated in a security notice to U.S. industry on Sunday that, as of early March, “several extremist hacking groups indicated they would participate in a forthcoming operation, #OpIsrael, which will target Israeli and Jewish Web sites.”

“Given the perceived connections between the government of Israel and Israeli financial institutions, and those of the United States, #OpIsrael participants may also shift their operations to target vulnerable U.S.-based financial targets or Jewish-oriented organizations within the United States,” the FBI warning said. “Based on historical attacks, the FBI assesses that attacks which may spawn from #OpIsrael to target U.S.-based systems will likely constitute only a small percentage of overall activity.”

6. UN report: More than 25,000 foreigners fight with terrorists

UNITED NATIONS — The number of fighters leaving home to join al-Qaida and the Islamic State group in Iraq, Syria and other countries has spiked to more than 25,000 from over 100 nations, according to a new U.N. report.

The panel of experts monitoring U.N. sanctions against al-Qaida said in the report obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press that its analysis indicates the number of foreign terrorist fighters worldwide increased by 71 percent between mid-2014 and March 2015

Thank you M., Andrew Bostom, Tundra T., Richard and all. Much more to come.

Every year the temptation to ‘Casandra’ the upcoming summer has been powerful. However if 10 years ago one was to look at the headlines as they have been this past few months one might think we were already there. Intuitively, a process which I view as the unconscious coalition of accumulated information, one suspects that events this summer will indeed affect people in the Western world in a way harder to ignore than has been the case so far.

I also have it on very good authority that many sites in the US are already being tested by islamic originating attack groups preparing for major cyber wars on Western, Israel friendly sites coming up in April and linked above. So this is indeed already under way.
