Can we now have an honest discussion about Islamist terrorism?
Police think the killing of David Amess may have had an Islamist motivation. We need to talk about this.
The discussion about the horrific slaying of Tory MP David Amess is set to change. Possibly radically. The police’s decision to treat his murder as a potential terrorist incident, with an Islamist motivation, is likely to shake up how the media elites in particular talk about it. Out will go any implacable political anger and the insistence that we search for the cultural and intellectual influences behind this barbaric act. In their place we’ll see demands for calm. Don’t feel too much fury, we’ll be told. Don’t extrapolate. Don’t blame it on any one faith or ideology. Don’t be Islamophobic. The liberal media will likely stop stirring up passionate feeling about this heinous crime, and instead seek to suppress such emotion.
The MSM is already hard at work shaping the narrative by providing us a heart rending account of the trauma suffered by the blood thirsty Islamist’s poor old Daddy and conflating this latest Muslim terror attack with the displays of righteous disgust for Trudeau during the election campaign.
Muslim or Mental Patient? Diagnosing the Bow-and-Arrow Killer
Again we’re seeing that if an act of terror has an Islamic connection, it will need to be played down or ignored altogether.
On Wednesday, October 13, Espen Andersen Bråthen killed five people with a bow and arrow in Kongsberg, Norway. On Thursday, Norwegian police declared it an act of Islamic terrorism. But on Saturday, police inspector Per Thomas Omholt made a baffling announcement.
Even though Bråthen said in a 2017 video that he’s a Muslim, and has confirmed this to police since his arrest, Omholt expressed doubt about the conversion: “The hypothesis that he has converted to Islam has been weakened,” and the hypothesis that his actions can instead be explained by a mental disorder has been strengthened.
Walmart vs. Whiteness
The company’s new training program tells hourly employees that they are guilty of “internalized racial superiority.”
Walmart Inc. has launched a critical race theory training program that denounces the United States as a “white supremacy system” and teaches white, hourly wage employees that they are guilty of “white supremacy thinking” and “internalized racial superiority.”
GUNTER: A court sentence that is a direct assault on free expression
This week in a federal courtroom in Calgary, Justice Adam Germain handed down one of the most potentially dangerous sentences I can recall.
I would be surprised if one particular portion of Germain’s sentence survives an appeal. That portion is a direct assault on Canadians’ right to free expression.
Prince Andrew will argue use of ‘royalty’ in Epstein settlement makes lawsuit invalid
The Duke of York will argue that a sexual abuse lawsuit filed against him is invalid because his accuser struck a secret deal with Jeffrey Epstein referencing “royalty”.
Virginia Roberts Giuffre settled with the convicted sex offender in 2009 for undisclosed damages after lodging a criminal complaint accusing him of sexual exploitation and abuse.
The confidential agreement they signed in Florida, in which she allegedly vowed not to take further action against the financier or his associates, has since remained sealed.
The “Yea even If I raped you I got a get out of jail card” defense.
Sabrina Maddeaux: If Facebook whistleblower was Canadian, she may never have come forward
What former Facebook data scientist Frances Haugen said was far less surprising than the fact she said it at all. The whistleblower made headlines when she testified before U.S. senators that Facebook knowingly operates products that “harm children, stoke division and weaken our democracy.”
Not so sure about that, Haugen’s totalitarian leanings match nicely with the Trudeau Liberals desire for censorship.
Carl Bernstein calls for investigation into supporters of ‘psychopath’ Trump
“We have never had a period in our history when 40, 45% of the people in our country have said, ‘Oh, yeah, I’ll go along with this psychopath. I’ll go along with this sociopath.’ We need to be looking at these facts, as well as the coup and what this individual did. We need to look at why are our people, so many of our people, following this sociopathic undermining of our democracy? It’s extraordinary,” Bernstein said.
Spies next door? The suburban US couple accused of espionage
When accused spies Jonathan and Diana Toebbe were escorted into a West Virginia court to be arraigned on espionage charges, they looked as any middle-aged, suburban couple might: struck by a dramatic turn in circumstances that comes when placed in an orange jumpsuit and restricted by manacles.
‘Coffee cup Gestapo’: Australian cops slammed for checking man’s beverage to verify his excuse for not wearing Covid-19 mask
Video footage of Melbourne police checking whether a man’s coffee cup was empty to verify his excuse for not wearing a mask is stirring the latest round of online outrage over Australia’s dystopian Covid-19 policies.
While it is unclear when exactly the video was recorded, the clip went viral on social media on Friday and Saturday, showing several police officers confronting a man on what appears to be a park trail. One of the officers grabs the man’s coffee cup while asking, “Do you mind if I check if there’s actually anything in that?” He shakes the cup, and after apparently establishing that there was liquid inside, he backs away and tells the man, “Enjoy your coffee.”
English council urges parents not to allow children to watch Squid Game
A council in the south of England has advised parents not to let their children watch the Netflix show Squid Game, after reports children as young as six are copying its violent challenges.
The education safeguarding team from Central Bedfordshire council sent an email to parents and guardians in the district urging them to “be vigilant after hearing reports that children and young people are copying games and violence from hit new Netflix series Squid Game, which is rated 15”.
China condemns Canada, U.S. for sending warships through Taiwan Strait
The Chinese military on Sunday condemned Canada and the United States for each sending a warship through the Taiwan Strait last week, saying they were threatening peace and stability in the region.
China claims democratically ruled Taiwan as its own territory and has mounted repeated air force missions into Taiwan’s air defence identification zone (ADIZ) over the past year, provoking anger in Taipei.
China sent about 150 aircraft into the zone over a four-day period beginning on Oct. 1 in a further heightening of tensions between Beijing and Taipei that has sparked concern internationally.
Dormice favoured by Italian mafia seized in drugs raid
Police carrying out a drugs raid on a cannabis farm in southern Italy have seized a stash of 235 frozen dormice – said to be a mafia delicacy.
After discovering more than 700 cannabis plants, police searched outbuildings and found cages of dormice and freezers filled with carcasses.
Three people at the site were arrested.
Wildlife groups say baked dormice are served to honour high-ranking gangsters at banquets organised by the powerful Calabrian ‘Ndrangheta mafia clan.
France to Vote on the Great Replacement of Western Civilization
“Where Islam takes hold, it is forever. Islamism is based on Islam, which no one has the right to criticize. But in your countries it also plays a role in democracy and in the rule of law. Islamism exploits these values. Since democracy recognizes all opinions, from the far right to the far left, it is obliged to recognize Islam as well. All those who do not commit attacks or violent acts are, in principle, protected in a state of law. Islamism thus immediately finds itself in a conquered terrain. It is necessary to fight Islamism from the beginning. Because it is like humidity in a house. Initially the threat is invisible, it penetrates the walls which, little by little, crumble. When you realize it is too late, you have to destroy everything to clean up. It becomes a mission impossible. France is at the stage where it has just discovered that Islam is eroding her home”.
This is how Algerian novelist Boualem Sansal, in L’Express, recently described the level of Islamization in France.
“In 2050 we will be a half-Islamic country, in 2100 we will be an Islamic republic”, according to Éric Zemmour, the journalist and presidential hopeful in 2022. This difficult but staggering reality denounced by Zemmour is recognized by everyone, even on the left. Radical left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon predicted the same kind of scenario, calling it “creolization by 2050”.
Slowly at first and then all at once.
I recommend you read this 2015 Vanity Fair piece – “Paris in Flames”
‘How can anyone be allowed to paint a swastika on the statue of Marianne, the goddess of French liberty, in the very center of the Place de la République?”
That was what the chairman of one of France’s most celebrated luxury brands was thinking last July, when a tall man in a black shirt and a kaffiyeh leapt to the ledge of Marianne’s pedestal and scrawled a black swastika. All around him, thousands of angry demonstrators were swarming the square with fake rockets, Palestinian and Hamas flags, even the black-and-white banners of ISIS. Here, barely a mile and a half from the Galeries Lafayette, the heart of bourgeois Paris, the chants: “MORT AUX JUIFS! MORT AUX JUIFS!” Death to the Jews. It was Saturday, July 26, 2014, and a pro-Palestinian demonstration turned into a day of terror in one of the most fashionable neighborhoods of the city.
