Terrorist Attacks, Threats & Weird Decisions
Quote:Seven teenage migrants from Egypt have been arrested after a 13-year-old girl was gang raped in front of her boyfriend this week in Catania, an ancient port city on the island of Sicily.
According to information released by local police, a 13-year-old girl and her boyfriend were approached by a group of seven foreigners in the municipal garden of Villa Bellini in the city of Catania.
After threatening the young Italian couple, the gang of migrants attacked the boy, beating him and then holding him down. Two from the group then held down the 13-year-old girl and took turns raping her as the others watched on. Despite their screams, no one came to their aid. After being raped by the second assailant, the girl managed to break free and the young couple fled.
Using footage from nearby surveillance cameras and descriptions provided by the victim and her boyfriend, the police were able to quickly identify their attackers. Of the seven Egyptian nationals, three were teenage minors. Despite four being over the age of 18, they were also put in migrant reception centres intended for minors, Il Giornale reports.
Following their arrests, three were taken to Catania Piazza Lanza prison, one was placed under house arrest, and the final three were returned to the migrant reception centre.
The horrific attack has sparked political outrage within Italy, with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni saying: “I want to express my solidarity with her and her family. The state will be there and justice will be done.”
Quote:A 32-year-old Malian, officially only identified as ‘Kassogue S.’, who left three injured including one critically during an attack in Paris’ second-busiest train station on Saturday, reportedly had a history of anti-French comments and “a profile of pan-Africanism”.
Police have claimed that the man suffers from mental disorders and that terrorism was not likely the motivation for the attack. However, videos published on his TikTok account, authenticated by the Le Parisien newspaper, saw the African national proclaim: “I’m not French, I don’t dream of being French, I don’t like France, I hate all French people.”
Kassogue, who entered France legally with Italian residence papers, added: “It is my own reason to ignore France because the French who deprived me of my right to live, it is the French who took away my dignity. It was the French who stole… it was the French who took my grandparents hostage for slavery. It was the French who forced my grandparents to do forced labour to be able to settle their accounts, their economy.”
In another video, he said: “You entered the African continent illegally for resources, mistreated people, raped women, murdered small children, removed children’s organs, stole our financial material goods… You are more cursed than Satan. Even Satan can’t teach you a lesson.”
The Malian man also appeared to suggest he was planning violence, saying: “Sometimes you have to attack, you shouldn’t always wait for the principle of reciprocity. Sometimes you have to attack to be able to dominate your own enemy, to be able to scare your enemy, to threaten your enemy. This is what we call the principle of domination”
Quote:A police search has been launched after footage emerged of three youths brandishing machetes in broad daylight in Nottingham city centre.
In the early afternoon of Friday, a confrontation among unidentified youths broke out near the Nottingham Contemporary gallery, as they waved long blades at one another. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in connection to the incident.
An employee of the gallery told the BBC that the incident took place at around 12:30 on Friday, saying: “They were wielding knives at each other, and a lady tried to stop them.”
“Everyone ran away. I locked the door of the [venue], the Contemporary locked the door,” the employee said, adding: “I was scared for my life. We were lucky we had no customers in.”
The BBC has faced backlash on social media for sharing footage of the incident in which the faces of the three youths were blurred out.
Former Brexit Party MEP and GB News presenter Martin Daubney said: “Why did the BBC blur their faces? Why protect the identities of dangerous thugs?” adding: “How low Nottingham, my home city, has fallen, to feral mobs.”
The Nottinghamshire Police have since released pictures of the suspects to allow for the public to aid the investigation in apprehending them.
Chief Inspector Karl Thomas of the Nottinghamshire Police said: “I have seen the footage of this incident and share the same sense of revulsion that other viewers will feel.
“Detectives are investigating what happened as a matter of urgency and are working at speed to identify all the young people involved.”
Quote:Police named 35-year-old Abdul Shokoor Ezedi on Thursday as being wanted in connection to a serious attack near Clapham Common in South London on Wednesday which saw a woman run over, a child repeatedly “smashed” into the ground, and a strong alkali chemical thrown, causing severe burns. 12 people were injured, some seriously, including a mother, her daughters, members of the public who went to help them, and police officers responding to the scene.
Police warned “dangerous individual” Ezedi should not be approached if seen, but the “horrific incident” he is alleged to have perpetrated and the circumstances surrounding his being in the United Kingdom at all have seen questions raised — yet again — about the quality of the nation’s immigration system.
Pizza takeaway chef Ezedi, it is now claimed, is an Afghan asylum seeker who arrived in the UK illegally hidden in the back of a truck and who despite two previously failed asylum application attempts from 2016 onwards and a conviction for a sex offence in 2018 finally had his application accepted around 2021. It is reported by The Daily Telegraph that this third application for asylum by Ezedi was on the basis that he was a Christian convert and consequently faced prosecution for apostasy if he returned to his native Afghanistan.
...
The revelation the alleged London chemical attacker had made what may be a false conversion to game the asylum system has triggered inevitable comparisons to Emad Jamil Al Swealmeen, an Iraqi asylum seeker who had lied about being Syrian, and being a Christian, to get the right to remain in the United Kingdom. He blew himself up inside a taxi in an apparent attempted terrorist attack against a hospital in Liverpool, but ended up being the only victim.
In the Swealmeen case, as appears to be the case with Ezedi, the Church of England supported the asylum application by saying a conversion had taken place.
British state broadcaster the BBC now reports Ezedi’s right to remain in the United Kingdom should never have been approved as, given his 2018 conviction for a sex crime, he was not eligible for asylum status anyway.
Quote:Sweden’s domestic security agency said Friday that it’s investigating “a dangerous object” that was found at the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm earlier this week as possible terrorism.
The agency, known by its acronym SAPO, said that it had taken over the investigation from Stockholm police, which haven’t disclosed what exactly was found on the embassy’s grounds on Wednesday. The object, described by some Swedish media as a hand grenade, was found near the fence of the diplomatic mission, which is located in the eastern part of Stockholm.
Dozens of officers were dispatched to the scene and the area was sealed off before a bomb squad arrived. A police spokeswoman said that the object eventually was destroyed. The embassy wasn’t evacuated. No arrests have been made.
SAPO said that it was now investigating what the agency considers to be a “terrorist crime through grossly illegal threats and attempts to cause public destruction.” The domestic security agency said that it wouldn’t comment further, because the investigation is at a preliminary phase.
Hours after embassy staff spotted an object that they suspected was dangerous and alerted authorities, Israeli Ambassador Ziv Nevo Kulman tweeted that “today we were subject to an attempted attack against the Embassy of Israel in Stockholm and its employees.”
“We will not be intimidated by terror,” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Quote:A Norwegian lawmaker revealed on Friday that he had nominated the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), its office dedicated to services for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Leftist Norwegian Labor Party member Asmund Aukrust, who also serves as vice-chairman of the Norwegian parliament’s foreign affairs committee, announced his choice for the Nobel Peace Prize at the tail end of a week in which the government of Israel revealed it had identified multiple UNRWA members among the terrorists invading the country on October 7. The October 7 attack, coordinated by the Gaza-based terrorist organization Hamas, resulted in the deaths of 1,200, the abduction of over 250, and widespread acts of gang rape, infanticide, torture, and desecration of corpses.
The Israeli government revealed on Tuesday that it had found among the UNRWA’s staff ten Hamas members, two members of the Sunni terrorist organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and one “unaffiliated” person who actively engaged in terrorism on October 7.
Aukrust told the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet that UNRWA deserved the Nobel Peace Prize for its “long-term work to provide vital support to Palestine and the region in general.”
“This work has been important for over 70 years, in the last three months it has been vital,” Aukrust asserted, specifically citing UNRWA’s work in the aftermath of the October 7 attacks, which its members participated in, as a reason to award it the prize.
The Nobel Peace Prize is an annual recognition offered to “the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses,” according to prize founder Alfred Nobel.
Only individuals identified as qualified to nominate can submit a formal nomination for someone who deserves the prize; qualified individuals include all members of national federal legislatures, cabinet members, and heads of state.
Quote:A Conservative pro-Israel Member of Parliament representing a “mainly Jewish area” who had his office burnt out at Christmas says he will not seek re-election, citing death threats.
Mike Freer, a Conservative Member of Britain’s lower house who has represented Finchley and Golders Green since 2010 has become the latest member of his party to announce he won’t be attempting to defend his seat in this year’s forthcoming General Election, widely anticipated for the Autumn.
The politician cited threats to his life and a recent arson attack against his constituency office.
Freer’s parliamentary colleague Sir David Amess was stabbed to death by Islamist terrorist Ali Harbi Ali in October 2021. It was revealed during Ali’s trial that Sir David may not have been the first intended target, and before killing him the Islamist had attended a constituency surgery (open door meeting, ‘town hall’) that Freer had meant to attend, but had to cancel at the last minute.
After this was revealed, Freer said he and his staff would wear a stab vest and carry a panic alarm when meeting the public in future on the advice of police.
Beyond this apparent actual attempt to kill Freer by a terrorist who went on to kill another Member of Parliament, the MP has received several death threats going back as far as 2011 from groups including Muslims Against Crusades which was later classified as a terrorist organisation by the government and banned. One group invaded an event he was hosting at a mosque and shouted that he was a “Jewish homosexual pig”.
Quote:Donald Trump is the only leader in the United States or Europe who is “strong enough” to put an end to the war in Ukraine, Viktor Orbán said as the Russian invasion of Ukraine approaches its second anniversary.
“Peace has a name, that of Donald Trump,” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told the French news magazine Le Point this week.
Despite fatigue with funding NATO’s proxy war with Russia setting in across the West, globalist politicians appear intent on continuing the war no matter what. For the Hungarian leader, who has been a lone voice among European heads of state calling for peace talks between Moscow and Kyiv — leading to accusations seeking peace makes him a Kremlin stooge — the only viable offramp for the conflict is for his longtime friend and ally to return to the White House.
“We should not forget that Trump was one of the most successful foreign policy presidents of the United States. Not a single war was started by him. And the Abraham Accords were the only serious chance to generate peace, balance and an acceptable form of life in the very difficult Middle East region,” Orbán said.
“My personal conviction remains that if, in February 2022, the American president had been called Donald Trump, there would be no more war in Europe. Today I don’t see anyone other than him, neither in Europe nor in America, who is a leader strong enough to stop the war,” the Hungarian leader declared.
Quote:Sinn Fein Vice President Michelle O’Neill is poised to make history Saturday by becoming the first Irish nationalist leader of Northern Ireland as the government returned to work after a two-year boycott by unionists.
O’Neill is expected to be nominated as first minister in the government that under the terms of the 1998 Good Friday peace accord shares power between Northern Ireland’s two main communities – British unionists who want to stay in the U.K., and Irish nationalists who seek to unite with Ireland. Northern Ireland was established as a unionist, Protestant-majority part of the U.K. in 1921, following independence for the Republic of Ireland.
One side can’t govern without agreement from the other. Government business ground to a half over the past two years after the Democratic Unionist Party walked out to protest trade issues related to Brexit.
O’Neill will share power with a deputy first minister from the DUP who has not yet been named. The two will be equals, but O’Neill, whose party captured more seats in the Northern Ireland Assembly in the 2022 elections, will hold the more prestigious title.
“This is a historic day,” O’Neill said on X, formerly known as Twitter. “As a first minister for all, I am determined to lead positive change for everyone, and to work together with others to progress our society in a spirit of respect, co-operation, and equality.”
O’Neill, 47, was elected to the Stormont Assembly in 2007 and comes from a family of Irish republicans. Her party, Sinn Fein, was affiliated with the militant Irish Republican Army during the Troubles, a period of about 30 years of violent conflict over the future of Northern Ireland which ended with the Good Friday Agreement.
The return to government came exactly two years after a DUP boycott over a dispute about trade restrictions for goods coming into Northern Ireland from Great Britain. Northern Ireland’s 1.9 million people were left without a functioning administration as the cost of living soared and public services were strained.
Quote:The European Union and the United States expressed their deep concern Sunday after Kosovo banned the use of the Serbian currency and police raided the premises of organizations working with the Serb minority in the north of the country.
In the past week, Kosovo police searched the premises of Serbia-administered institutions and of an ethnic Serb non-governmental organization, confiscating papers and computers believed to hold documentation contrary to the country’s laws.
Some of the documents bore the emblem of the Serbian government in Belgrade, police said, while others referred to illegal parallel structures of government set up by ethnic Serbs but not accepted by Kosovo.
Police closed some of those offices.
Most of Kosovo uses the euro, even though the country isn’t part of the EU. But parts of Kosovo’s north, populated mostly by ethnic Serbs, continue to use the dinar. Many rely on the government of Serbia for financial support, often delivered in dinars in cash.
The U.S. Ambassador in Kosovo, Jeffrey Hovenier, also expressed concerned over the efforts of Kosovo police to seize the vehicle transporting Serbian dinars which are then distributed for “social benefit payments from Serbia.”
A statement from the EU said the closure of those offices would “have negative effects on the daily lives and living conditions of Kosovo Serb communities, as it will restrict their access to basic social services given the apparent absence of alternatives at this moment.”
Just Another Case of Graphic Language
Quote:Dawn Queva, a schedule coordinator for BBC 3, made a series of racist anti-white and antisemitic comments on social media, according to multiple reports.
In one post, reported by The Telegraph, she is said to have described white people as an aberration against the natural order of the world and that they are a “barbaric bloodthirsty rapacious murderous genocidal thieving parasitical deviant breed”.
According to the British broadsheet, the BBC staffer said Britain was “bigoted” and “genocidal” while referring to the United Kingdom on several occasions as the “UKKK”, a reference to the Ku Klux Klan. She also reportedly said that white people were a “virus”, a “mutant invader species” and “melanin-recessive parasites”.
According to Deadline, she previously worked for A+E Networks, Disney, and UKTV. The news outlet reported that Queva had also written several antisemitic rants on the conflict in Israel, including one which said that Israelis were a “subcontinental Caucasian invader coloniser species with zero indigenous/blood.”
...
The BBC employee also reportedly said that Jewish people were “Nazi apartheid parasites” and criticised the Rothschild family for supposedly funding a “holohoax”.
In response to the reports, the BBC said: “We don’t comment on individual members of staff and we have well-established and robust processes in place to handle such issues. We do not tolerate anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, or any form of abuse and we take any such allegations seriously and take appropriate disciplinary action wherever necessary.”
The BBC, which is funded by a licence fee imposed on anyone who watches live television in the UK on pain of prosecution and potential jail time, has previously come under criticism for apparent bias against Israel.
Quote:Moscow-installed officials say Ukrainian shelling killed at least 28 people at a bakery in the Russian-occupied city of Lysychansk.
At least one child was among the dead Saturday, local leader Leonid Pasechnik wrote in a statement on Telegram. A further 10 people were rescued from under the rubble by emergency services, he said.
Ukrainian officials in Kyiv did not comment on the incident.
Both Moscow and Kyiv have increasingly relied on longer-range attacks this winter amid largely unchanged positions on the 1,500-kilometer (930-mile) front line in the nearly 2-year-old war.
However, Ukrainian forces have come under intense Russian attack over the past 24 hours, with continuous assaults along the front line, Ukraine’s General Staff said in a statement Sunday.
Fighting has been particularly fierce in the eastern city of Avdiivka, where Moscow is attempting to encircle Kyiv’s troops, while Ukrainian forces have also been on the defensive in Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut and Zaporizhzhia, officials said.
Quote:Snow-dusted tractors lined up outside the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, and nighttime protests in Romania marked by vivid national flags have become markers of a farmer protest movement across Europe.
The biggest demonstrations have been seen in France, where farmers blocked highways around Paris with their tractors, but the dayslong protests have spread across the European Union, highlighting deep-seated grievances within the agricultural sector.
The movement, triggered by concerns over low wages, heavy regulation and cheap imports, has involved farmers from Spain, Italy, Germany, Romania and Greece calling for action.
Lines of tractors rolled menacingly across a residential street in Poland and across a German bridge, while farming protesters in Italy burned spectacular nighttime fires by stone statues.
Convoys with hundreds of angry farmers driving heavy-duty tractors created chaos outside the European Union´s headquarters on Thursday demanding leaders at an EU summit provide relief from rising prices and bureaucracy.
It made for a dramatic display, creating disruptions and bringing the disgruntled farmers´ demands directly to the heart of EU policymaking.
Meanwhile, there were traffic barricades on highways around Paris amid a large police presence as French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal announced measures to quell the unrest.
