Italian psychiatrist and journalist decimates the usual deceptions on Islam and terror

Posted on by

All of us reading from the Anglosphere. Ask yourselves if you have ever seen this quality of debate on TV ever on this subject.

Our own Buck left a comment under this video at Youtube which expressed my feelings on first watching it exactly. He, like I, was fully angered that BBC/CBC never would dare show something this honest or democratic in nature.

This one deserves to be spread as much for the amazing illustration of what the rest of us do not have, as much as the excellent content. Remember, chances are Youtube Sandboxes or otherwise grey lists this video in some way. Its up to us to spread it directly.

Thank you Elle for this translation.

 

Is this a terror attack in NYC?

Sassy sends this update: No. It isn’t.

Convicted gun felon on parole tries to steal FDNY fire truck after causing seven-car pileup in Manhattan which injured nine people
(I wonder what a “gun felon” is though.)

Shocking video has captured a driver trying to steal an FDNY fire truck after causing a seven-car accident in Manhattan on Sunday.

The clip shows Devon Brandon, 36, dressed in a green T-shirt, arguing with firefighters in the front cab of the fire truck. 

He then frantically climbs into the driver’s seat as seven firefighters work to pull him out, causing the engine to shake.

The truck, which was stopped on 10th Avenue and 43rd Street, had been responding to the car accident when the incident occurred. 

 

A tale of two tweets

Posted on by

Both of these tweets are from women with what appear to be Jewish names. I only point this out to show the irrelevance of it, as they are opposite in value and intention.

1. The Islamic State insists that the Vegas shooter is one of theirs and names him.

2. A Prof. in Canada gives a near perfect example of postmodern thought in order to deflect any responsibility from Islam for the jihad attack in Edmonton the other day, and make it about white supremacists. It is some of the most obnoxious intellectual slight of hand I have ever seen.

I responded:

This is a brilliant example of the most pernicious of postmodern thought. Ignore what is true, reverse the onus of guilt, crisis exploited

The professor has made her tweet private now. Hopefully out of shame. Here it is:

Edmonton attacker and ethnicity named so police do not seem evasive

From Global News:

Thirty-year-old Abdulahi Sharif of Edmonton is the man being held in connection with Saturday night’s vehicle attacks in Alberta’s capital, multiple sources told Global News.

Sources said Sharif is expected to be charged with five counts of attempted murder as well as terrorism-related charges after an Edmonton police officer was hit by a car and stabbed outside Commonwealth Stadium and several people were hit by a U-Haul van in downtown Edmonton.

Oktoberfest: Dramatic Drop in Visitors

Oktoberfest Munich
Disastrous Stats: This is the bitter balance of ‘Wiesn’ 2016
07.09.2017

The city of Munich has announced the accounting for the Oktoberfest 2016 in a statistics publication. Visitors, beer, bratwurst – there was a strong decline just everywhere.

Only 5.6 million visitors came to the largest volksfest in the world. A record low of the last 16 years. Affairs were bleak for the Wiesn-Innkeepers, too: only 66.231 hectolitres beer were drunk in 2016, 15 percent less than in previous years.
Bratwurst sales dropped from more than 500,000 to less than 300, 000.
Innkeeper Speaker Toni Roiderer cites the bad weather at the start of the Wiesn, and the fear of terror as reasons for the decrease.
But there is good news, too
But there is good news, too: The number of crimes and the number of rescue missions by paramedics and firefighters sunk, compared to previous years. And the number of crimes reported sunk by 25%, compared to the last five years. There were 15% fewer “drunken bodies” than in previous years.

Berlin: Syrian ‘Unaccompanied Minor’ Arrested For Planning Terror Attack

Posted on by

An original translation from Berliner Zeitung (B.Z.)

Arrest Warrant Against ISIS Sleeper
Youth Planned Terror Attack with Kalashnikov in Berlin
Berlin – September 4, 2017

A young Syrian is in court: he came to Germany to commit an attack: not an attack with knife or vehicle, but “something larger”.

The district court Halle has issued an arrest warrant in the case against a young terror suspect from Syria. The chamber substantiated this with flight risk. It stood to reason that the plaintiff, who is, according to his own statement, 16 years old, had not abandoned his attack plans, and could only put them into action by fleeing. The case was submitted to the Senate For State Security at the Supreme Court.
The case against the 16-year old was opened in Halle two weeks ago. Because of the young age of the plaintiff, the proceedings were not public. The Senate For State Security at the Higher Regional Court Berlin is in charge of terror offenses in Berlin, Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt.

Syrian Entered Germany in Autumn 2015 as Refugee
The youth is charged with preparing a severe subversive violent crime. The Syrian had entered Germany in autumn 2015 as unaccompanied minor refugee, and allegedly sympathizes with the Jihadi militia Islamic State (ISIS). The proceedings had begun in Halle end of August in closed session.

Did he plan a terror attack in Berlin as an ISIS sleeper?
The plaintiff had, according to charges, volunteered as a so-called sleeper for ISIS since he entered the Federal Republic [of Germany], by showing serious willingness to commit a terror attack in Berlin. Furthermore, he was collecting and distributing ISIS propaganda materials.

Moreover, he downloaded a 94-page manual for building a Kalashnikov from the internet to his mobile phone, with the intention to use it for an attack in Berlin.

Terror Plans: Building an Automatic Rifle, Constructing an Explosive Belt
According to investigations, he enquired in chats how to build an explosive belt without coming under suspicion.

He allegedly revealed to an informant of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution [German Intel – translator], who was working as a covert chat partner, that he did not come to Germany to live here, and neither to kill one or two people with a knife. Instead, he were planning something larger.

The Senates for State Security at the Supreme Courts are in charge of proceedings with such charges. The Senate for State Security at the Superior Court Berlin is in charge for the states Berlin, Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt.

Translator’s footnote:
German Justice Minister Heiko Maas’ famous statement of November 16, 2015 comes into mind:
“There is no connection, not a single traceable connection, between terrorism and refugees.”

Austria: A Wall is built in Vienna

Fear of Terror
Office of Chancellor locking up behind concrete walls

“Yes, a wall is being constructed in Vienna”, the Interior Ministry announces. It will be 80 centimetres high, one meter wide, and surround the historical Ballhausplatz. The concrete wall is meant to protect the Chancellery and the office of the president from possible terror attacks.

“The wall is a security measurement for the protection of the government district”, speaker of the Ministry, Alexander Marakovits, explains. Until now, basically everyone could drive towards it. The one meter wide concrete wall is to make sure that no vehicle can get through in a worst-case scenario.
The building in the historical center of town is built overnight at full speed and will be finished before autumn.

Several Security Measures
The wall is just one of several measures to protect the Chancellery and the office of the president. “But certainly it is the one that will be most visible for the locals”, the announcement says. Less visible: there are bollards constructed in Herrengasse which can be raised if need be.

Cologne: Stones meant to protect from attacks
In Germany, too, important buildings are in the process of being protected from terror attacks. For example in Cologne, where stones protect the square around the city’s landmark, the cathedral. The discarded colossusses bar the access to the cathedral square. “In a way, the cathedral itself is protecting its visitors”, Cologne’s police chief Uwe Jacob said last week. The stones are parts of small towers that had been removed and stored for conservatory reasons. Additionally, a police car can serve as a mobile barrier, so that delivery vehicles and ambulances can pass through.

Members of Islamist Group in Germany

About 60 fighters of a Syrian Islamist Militia are residing in Germany, according to media reports. The Office For The Protection Of The Constitution [“Verfassungsschutz”, German Intelligence Service – translator] is observing the former fighters.

Hamburg – as the news magazine „Spiegel“ reports, quoting Intelligence findings, the members of the group Liwa Kwais al-Karni came to Germany as refugees. The unit initially fought on the side of the Free Syrian Army and then changed over to the Nusra Front which is close to Al-Qaeda.

According to the report, their members were involved in „several massacres of captive civilians and Syrian army“. Currently, there are investigations ongoing against 25 former fighters of the unit.

Authorities think that at least 30 more fighters of the group are residing in Germany. But many of them have not yet been identified with absolute certainty or traced down. According to information obtained by „Spiegel“, the Office For Protection Of The Constitution formed a task group on this issue.
