Gates of Vienna News Feed 3/25/2017

In the North London borough of Islington, two men carrying knives rounded a corner at high speed in a car and ran down a group of pedestrians waiting in line to enter a pub. At least three people were injured, and the two men were arrested. Police said the incident was not connected with terrorism.

In other news, a man went on a shooting rampage on a bus in Las Vegas, firing indiscriminately at passengers. One person was killed, and a second wounded. The gunman, who is thought to have mental problems, surrendered to police after a four-hour standoff. Police said the incident had no apparent connection with a nexus of terrorism.

Ambellas Warns: “There is a Secret Sinister Shadow Government Running Behind the Scenes… They Are Not Going to Stop”

The Deep State, or whatever you want to call the shadow government attempting to control the puppet strings behind the scenes, appears to be moving forward with their agenda at full steam.

From geopolitical conflict and financial manipulations to silencing “extremist” speech across the internet and supplanting the Constitution, they are desperately trying to maintain the narrative in an ever expanding information war.

As Shepard Ambellas of Intellihub warns in a recent alert, they will never back off:

“They are not going to stop,” Shep said. “They are doing everything in their power to keep that information from coming out and they want to regain control because see they’ve lost control.”

“As Obama was exiting he got together with the State Department and they formed this secret ‘7th Floor Group’ which Intellihub reported about. It’s a “shadow government,” Ambellas said.

The highly secretive group was said to have been cleared out of the State Department entirely by Trump appointed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson which is what likely prompted Obama to set up shop in D.C. post-tenure.

“All of these people are part of the C.I.A.-N.S.A. Deep State apparatus. They are all approved to be in there. They all know that there is this secret sinister shadow government running behind the scenes.”

“But the thing is, Trump is just a citizen so he didn’t have access to all of this. When he became President they kept him out of all of this, they kept him out of certain briefings because, you know, the Deep State just does what it wants. But all and all the Deep State’s lost some of its power […] but they are still controlling things, they are still orchestrating things behind the scenes […] now, their biggest battle is literally the alternative media.”

[Comment: The internet is the last place to get the truth. Mainstream media has become Orwell’s “Ministry of Truth.” Hence all the attacks by google, advertisers, etc on any site — such as breitbart — that reveals the machinations of globalists.]

Insider Reveals How DARPA Will Control Our Minds: “If Even 20% of This is True…”

The video below features a keynote by Dr. Robert Duncan regarding what can only be described as our coming hive mind control grid. He isn’t just talking about advances in transhumanism, the singularity, or artificial intelligence. He’s talking about how to control the minds of everyone on the planet and evolving humanity in a technological sense… whether they like it or not.

Duncan professes with shame that he worked on “Voice of God” weapons for the US Department of Defense, weapons which can make people think they are hearing voices in their heads in an attempt to control them. He says such weapons were tested back during Desert Storm and were quite effective at getting Iraqi soldiers to lay down arms without a shot fired.

And that’s just what they had 20+ years ago. Can you imagine what they’re working on today?

Duncan also touches on Project Blue Beam, remote neural monitoring, smart dust, and electronic telepathy technology which uses extremely low frequency waves.

Despite attempting multiple times to put a “positive spin” on this information as he nervously delivers it, what this man is saying really can’t be spun in a positive way, not with these kinds of technology in the hands of the military-industrial complex President Eisenhower once gravely warned us about. Duncan notes scientists “are brainwashed into believing that everything we are doing is of benefit to mankind, but look who pays our bills? The military. It’s all for war, it’s all for control, for government control…”

If even 20% of what this guy has to say is true…

Just… you’ve got to see this for yourself…

Police Say Gunman in Shooting on Las Vegas Strip Surrenders

A shooting on the Las Vegas Strip has left one person dead and another injured, and the gunman has surrendered to authorities.

The southern end of the normally bustling Strip looked like a ghost town Saturday afternoon after police blocked off portions of Las Vegas Boulevard. Tourists walking down the street were suddenly approached by police officers who rushed them into buildings.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police spokesman Larry Hadfield said earlier Saturday that the gunman was holed up on a bus on Las Vegas Boulevard, near the Cosmopolitan hotel and that police officers were in the “tactical phase” of removing the man from the bus.

Hadfield said there was no active-shooter situation inside any of the Strip’s casinos.

Chris Ferris, a dishwasher at the Cosmopolitan, said he was working on the second floor when a manager, rounded up all employees and told them to go to the back of the building for safety. Only later did the manager say what was happening. Eventually, the employees were told to go home.

Ferris, interviewed while walking down Harmon Avenue, was asked if he had ever seen anything like this on the Strip. “No, this is very unusual,” he said. “But I’ll be back at work tomorrow.”…

The Multibillion-Dollar US Spy Agency You Haven’t Heard of

By James Bamford

In a heavily protected military base some 15 miles south of Washington, D.C., sits the massive headquarters of a spy agency few know exists. Even Barack Obama, five months into his presidency, seemed not to have recognized its name. While shaking hands at a Five Guys hamburger restaurant in Washington in May 2009, he asked a customer seated at a table about his job. “What do you [do]?” the president inquired. “I work at NGA, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency,” the man answered. Obama appeared dumbfounded. “So, explain to me exactly what this National Geospatial…” he said, unable to finish the name. Eight years after that videotape aired, the NGA remains by far the most shadowy member of the Big Five spy agencies, which include the CIA and the National Security Agency.

Despite its lack of name recognition, the NGA’s headquarters is the third-largest building in the Washington metropolitan area, bigger than the CIA headquarters and the U.S. Capitol.

Completed in 2011 at a cost of $1.4 billion, the main building measures four football fields long and covers as much ground as two aircraft carriers. In 2016, the agency purchased 99 acres in St. Louis to construct additional buildings at a cost of $1.75 billion to accommodate the growing workforce, with 3,000 employees already in the city.

The NGA is to pictures what the NSA is to voices. Its principal function is to analyze the billions of images and miles of video captured by drones in the Middle East and spy satellites circling the globe. But because it has largely kept its ultra-high-resolution cameras pointed away from the United States, according to a variety of studies, the agency has never been involved in domestic spy scandals like its two far more famous siblings, the CIA and the NSA. However, there’s reason to believe that this will change under President Donald Trump.

The Senate Just Legalized the Sale of Your Browsing History

Despite widespread disapproval from constituents, S.J.Res 34 has passed the United States Senate with a vote of 50-48, with two absent votes. Earlier, at 12:25 Eastern March 23, 2017, the US Senate voted on S.J.Res 34, and will use the Congressional Review Act to strip away broadband privacy protections that kept Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and telecoms from selling your internet history and app data usage to third parties.

S.J.Res 34 was first introduced by 23 Republican Senators earlier this month and its blitz approval is a giant blow to privacy rights in the United States.

The resolution, which is now effectively half passed, will hand responsibility of broadband privacy regulation from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and disallow the FCC from making any rules protecting Internet privacy ever again.

The FCC broadband privacy rules are closer to ending — allowing your private internet history to be sold

The Senators that voted for this have been lobbied by the telecoms and ISPs. Those in support of this stripping of privacy rights have even filed with the FCC attempting to claim that web history and app data usage information is not sensitive information. The EFF put it concisely: Senate Puts ISP Profits Over Your Privacy. Now, the only chance to maintain the hard earned FCC broadband privacy rules lies in defeating H.J.Res 86, the House version of this resolution, which will likely be voted on in the House of Representatives within the next month. It’s up to us to Save Broadband Privacy and make sure that we Don’t Let Congress Undermine Our Privacy.

The Story of Rachel Dolezal Gets Even More Bizarre

In her heart, she’s still a misunderstood black woman.

Rachel Dolezal — who convincingly passed as an African-American civil rights activist in Spokane, Washington, until her inarguably Caucasian parents outed her as white in 2015 — is now stepping back into the spotlight in all her bottle-bronzed, afro-hair-extensioned glory.

Dolezal has penned a memoir in which she compares her travails to slavery and describes her harrowing childhood as a pale, blond girl growing up poor on the side of a Montana mountain.

As she toiled in the garden for her strict, Evangelical parents, she’d dream of freeing her inner blackness, Dolezal writes in “In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World.”

See, she’d read her grandmother’s National Geographic magazines. So she knew about blackness.

“I’d stir the water from the hose into the earth … and make thin, soupy mud, which I would then rub on my hands, arms, feet, and legs,” Dolezal writes.

“I would pretend to be a dark-skinned princess in the Sahara Desert or one of the Bantu women living in the Congo … imagining I was a different person living in a different place was one of the few ways … that I could escape the oppressive environment I was raised in.”

EU Highlights ‘Growing Menace of Right-Wing Extremism’ Day After Westminster Attack

Top Eurocrat Julian King urged people “to keep in mind the growing menace of Right-wing violent extremism” just one day after a radical Islamic terrorist murdered a number of people in Westminster, London. King was speaking at the launch of a book entitled The Challenge of Jihadist Radicalisation in Europe and Beyond.

I’d just like to pause for one moment on this” he emphasised, “I’m not aware of a single EU member state that is not affected in some way by Right-wing violent extremism.” EurActiv reported that, while King did not believe “every white racist attack was a backlash to jihadist violence”, he did believe that “Right-wing extremism can have an impact on [Islamist] radicalisation”. The Commissioner did not substantiate this, beyond referencing an alleged increase in “attacks against mosques and asylum centres” King also referenced the example of Norwegian shooter Anders Brevik.

Internet Giants’ Business Model Under Siege for Promoting Jihad

The boycott of Google’s parent company, Alphabet, over its video service YouTube came into sharp focus in the aftermath of the London terrorist attack with a warning Friday from British Prime Minister Theresa May.

More than 260 organizations worldwide, including the British government, McDonald’s and Verizon, already had pulled advertising from YouTube because Google may have placed their brands alongside videos promoting terrorism and other offensive content.

Now, May is warning Google and other Internet giants that they “must do more” to stop extremist material from being posted online.

London Jihad Another Case of Missed Religious Clues

In a refrain that has become remarkably familiar in the aftermath of a terrorist attack, a neighbor of Khalid Masood — the 52-year-old Muslim who ran over pedestrians on Westminster Bridge then killed a police officer at the Parliament building Wednesday — described him as a “normal calm and kind family man, always with a smile on his face.”

The same was said of Syed Farook, who with his Saudi wife murdered 14 people at a San Bernardino, California, office Christmas party in December 2015.

And like Farook and numerous other perpetrators of Islamic terror attacks on Western soil — including Fort Hood killer Nidal Hasan, Boston Marathon murders Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Chattanooga killer Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez and Orlando killer Omar Mateen — law enforcement at one point or another had them on their radar but apparently decided they were not a threat.

Detectives at Scotland Yard said Thursday there had been no prior intelligence about Masood’s intent to mount a terrorist attack, but they acknowledged he was once “investigated in relation to concerns about violent extremism.”

London Terror Attacker ‘Was Not Lone Wolf’

Part of a wider conspiracy, security officials believe

The terrorist Khalid Masood was not a “lone wolf” and others had played a key part in indoctrinating him and helping to carry out Wednesday’s deadly attacks in London, security officials believe.

The disclosure that the British-born Muslim convert was likely to have been part of a wider conspiracy came as armed police detained 11 people in raids across the country with two of the arrests, including that of a woman, described as “significant” in the investigation.

Three cars were also taken away for forensic examination. Police are still hunting associates of Masood who are believed to be linked to the Westminster attack.

It has also emerged that 52-year-old Masood used the Whatsapp messaging service just minutes before he smashed his hired Hyundai car into the railings at the Houses of Parliament.

UK: Panic in Islington as Two Knifemen in a Car Mow Down Three People Outside a Pub ‘At 50mph’ After Mounting the Pavement in London’s Cosmopolitan Heartland — But Police Say it’s Not Terror

Two knife-wielding men driving a Peugeot Partner ploughed into revellers queuing for a pub and ‘knocked them over like dominoes’ in a horrifying attack in Islington tonight.

Two men and one woman were injured on the lively Essex road in north London before the driver and passenger sped off then got out and fled on foot.

Police who found one knife on the pavement and one knife in the car arrested the two men on suspicion of GBH with intent and of possession of points and blades.

One shocked witness told MailOnline that the car came screeching around a corner at ‘about 50mph’ and crashed into people queuing to enter the Old Queen’s Head pub.

One witness said: ‘People were screaming and shouting. One man told me that he saw the car drive off with a man still under the car.’

Dramatic pictures from the scene show three injured revellers being treated by paramedics before they were rushed to hospital with injuries not thought to be life threatening.

One woman posted a picture of a knife on the pavement, writing on Twitter: ‘It’s all kicking off on Essex road, Islington… a handful of casualties and a very large knife.’

A witness told MailOnline: ‘People were screaming and shouting. One man told me that he saw the car drive off with a man still under the car.’…

The Vehicle as Terror Weapon: “These Tactics Represent the New Blueprint Among Terrorists for Causing Mayhem”

Terror attacks are often associated with bombs, but making a bomb requires some expertise to assemble safely. Guns, the other preferred weapon, are difficult to come by in most countries other than the U.S. Owning or renting a vehicle, however, is easy. Trucks and cars can cause mass casualties if wielded as a weapon; obtaining one isn’t an act that evokes suspicion.

Recently, an article titled “Just Terror Tactics” was published by the English-language ISIS magazine “Rumiyah”. It described which vehicles will cause the most damage and called for attacks on Western crowds. “It is a simple idea and there is not much involved in its preparation,” the article said. “All what is needed is the willingness to give one’s life for Allah.”

The article goes on: “Pick your location and timing carefully. Go for the most crowded locations. Narrower spots are also better because it gives less chance for the people to run away. Avoid locations where other vehicles may intercept you…”

“To achieve maximum carnage, you need to pick up as much speed as you can while still retaining good control of your vehicle in order to maximize your inertia and be able to strike as many people as possible in your first run.”

The writer also suggested attackers weld steel blades onto the front of an SUV: “They do not need to be extra sharp because with the speed of the truck at the time of impact, even a blunter edge would slice through bone very easily. You may raise the level of the blades as high as the headlights. That would make the blades strike your targets at the torso level or higher.”

These tactics represents the new blueprint among terrorists for causing mayhem. Few people pay much attention to traffic unless they’re driving a vehicle themselves or crossing the street. The speed at which a vehicle can accelerate and turn into a crowd leaves little reaction time. Therefore, the “success” rate of this type of terror event may surpass even a gunman’s ability to cause deaths and injuries.

I advocate for a constant state of “Yellow Alert” when in public spaces. By that, I mean a calm but vigilant observation of what’s happening around you. Look for anomalies in behavior that might warn you of nefarious intentions. For example, hopping up and down and screaming may be normal at a rock concert, but it’s an anomaly at Starbucks.

Putin Meets Marine Le Pen, Vows “Not to Influence” French Election in Any Way

With just one month to go until the French presidential election, President Vladimir Putin met the leader of the National Front, Marine Le Pen, in the Kremlin on Friday, and as Reuters summarized, “handed her a potential boost to her campaign to win next month’s presidential election in France.”

Putin told Le Pen Moscow reserved the right to meet any French politician it wanted and that she represented “quite a fast-growing element of European political forces.”

“Of course I know that the election campaign in France is actively developing,” said Putin who sarcastically commented on ongoing allegations that Russia is behind the final outcome of western elections in the past year saying “we do not want to influence events in any way, but we reserve the right to talk to representatives of all the country’s political forces.”

As Reuters adds, a meeting with Putin is a coup for Le Pen and could help her burnish her foreign policy credentials. While increasingly popular in France, she has struggled to get any backing abroad apart from support offered by other far-right parties.

Russia Readies Back-Up System for Potentially Explosive “Split With International Banking System”

The grand order of things could be undergoing some major overhauls.

To put it more bluntly, a war to reset the global financial order is about to be unleashed.

Preparations inside Russia are being made in case the ultimate banking sanctions are placed on them, cutting off commerce inside the all-encompassing Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecomm SWIFT system — which runs credit, debt, and banking card transactions across a real time global network.

As it would be doled out by the banking elites, the price for misbehavior at the Kremlin could be ostracization from this global commerce vehicle.

But that isn’t the end of the story… Putin is readying his people to divorce from the international banking system altogether, and start over with a nationalistic platform, backed by thousands of tons of gold, and growing alliances with Europe, China and the BRICS nations, the Middle East and several emerging powers.

A major attempt to bring Russia under heel could result in the greatest schism the global system of finance has ever seen. Then what?

Despite Efforts of Courts to Save, The Number of Hindu Temples Come Down to Half of the Mark in Pakistan

SHC orders protection for 160 yrs old Hindu temple in Sujawal.

Prem Kholi | HENB | Karachi | March 24, 2017:: When the Hindu Temples and those properties in Pakistan are being grabbed by the Islamic land Mafias and facing existential threat, the Sindh High Court comes forwards in such a case of illegal encroachment of temple properties.

The Sindh High Court has directed the Sujawal district’s deputy commissioner and police officials to protect the Hindu community’s 160-year-old place of worship and take action against land grabbers in the district.

Hearing a petition, a division bench headed by Justice Nadeem Akhtar directed the deputy commissioner to take action against three men who had allegedly encroached upon the temple’s land.

The petitioner, Ashwar Kumar, had moved the court against the unlawful occupation of the Shewalo (Shivalo) Mandir and disallowing worshipers’ entry into their place of worship by the land grabbers.

He submitted that the temple, survey No. 95, was located in Union Council Chohar Jamali. He alleged that Sattar, Pappu and Malo had recently illegally occupied the temple’s premises and were not allowing worshippers to perform their religious rituals.

He said complaints had been filed with the Mukhtiarkar of Shahbandar, the SHO of Chohar Jamali Police Station and other authorities, but no action was being taken to remedy the situation. He said the deputy commissioner too had not yet taken any action on his application. He requested the court to order the authorities to take action against the culprits and to ensure free access of worshipers to the place…

Hindu Students Asked to Apologize for Celebrating Holi in Pakistan University Campus

Minority students of Hindu faith asked to apologize for celebrating Holi in Pakistan university campus, but PM Sharif lauded on Minority rights on his Holi message!

Upendra Bharti | HENB | New Delhi | March 25, 2017:: There is an Islamic society in Pakistan, where minorities live in a situation where a Hindu student had to write apology on affidavit because he celebrated Holi in university as he committed crime. He wrote and promised that he would never celebrate again and felt ashamed of it.

The alleged incident took place at Sindh University, Jamshoro.

The post has taken social media by storm, with users slamming Pakistani attitude to demean the minorities and their culture.

According to reports, the varsity took the student’s ID card They did take his ID card which I admit is wrong. What forced this guy to write an apology was that someone spread fake news that Uni was going to expel all the students involved in the celebration. So probably under pressure this guy went to such length to save the situation.

After the matter went viral on social media, a portion of pro-Islamic people tried to deny the incident. But, some Urdu news paper clearly flashed the mentality of the University in this regard.

Cloning Advances: From Sheep and Dogs To… Woolly Mammoths and Humans?

Twenty years after Dolly the Sheep was successfully cloned, NBC’s Keir Simmons gains exclusive access to a cloning factory to South Korea to investigate the latest developments, including efforts to clone extinct woolly mammoths, using Asian elephants as surrogate mothers. But he reports human cloning would be extremely difficult — not to mention already illegal in some countries.

Venezuela: Running Out of Food, Gas, Medicine… and Time

Venezuela has been an economic basket case for more than five years, with predictions of its imminent demise a common sport on the web.

But somehow, someway, the nation manages to stay afloat — although the life vest is full of holes and President Nicolas Maduro is stuffing it with lead weights.

The Venezuelan people have stoically endured the calamity that has befallen their nation — a product of the unconscionable and idiotic policies of their government. But objectively speaking, just how bad is it?

A Third Summer of Chaos Threatens Outside Calais

IF YOU thought that the migrant crisis on the other side of the Channel was easing, then think again.

Today we report from France where masked gangs are regularly breaking in to trucks and lorries heading for the UK, which have stopped at a motorway service station near Dunkirk and Calais.

The long overdue destruction of the Calais “Jungle” camp last year was hailed as a means of ending the migrant crisis but this newspaper’s investigation makes it clear that the hordes who are intent on coming to Britain have dispersed to an extent but have not really gone away.

Nebraska Democrat Party Includes Voter Registration Forms in Refugee Welcome Baskets

The Nebraska Democrat Party is providing voter registration cards to non-citizen migrants arriving in the state.

Even more shocking, state party members even bragged about the scheme despite its clear criminality.

“We made sure that we had individuals write a little note to the families, and then inside each [welcome] basket there’s also a letter from the Nebraska Democratic Party welcoming the family to Nebraska,” admitted chairperson Jane Kleeb. “It’s signed by me as chair of the party, and then we include a sticker in here for them to put on their car.”

“It also includes a voter registration form.”

[Comment: Democrat party now appears to be a full blown communist party that is seeking to destabilize and bring down the Republic and turn it into a hard core communist h*ll hole.]

Networks Censor Rape Story Involving Illegal Immigrant, But Gave 11 Minutes in Two Days to Fake Uva Rape

The “big three” networks — ABC, CBS, and NBC — continued their shamefulblackout into Wednesday night of the horrifying rape of a 14yr old teenage girl in a Maryland high school bathroom, allegedly by two men, including one who police say is in the U.S. illegally.

Instead, the pathetic liberal media that’s shown no interest in the Rockville High School case complied with Rolling Stone in giving more than 10 minutes of coverage in two days to the fake 2014 claim that a University of Virginia fraternity gang-raped a female student.

Shock Video: Woman Raped by Illegal Testifies Against ‘Sanctuary State’ Bill

‘Stop trying to blur the difference between illegal and legal.’

A woman in California delivered powerful testimony last week arguing against SB-54, a measure which restricts local and state law enforcement agencies from cooperating with federal immigration officers.

Lupe Moreno of Redding, Cali., addressed the bill before the Senate Appropriations Committee claiming its passage would endanger children throughout the entire state.

“I’m also representing the angel mothers whose children have been slaughtered in our communities, especially cities like Salinas, Cali., and Santa Ana, Cali.”

Moreno went on to cite sections of the US Constitution which tasks the federal government with protecting the states from “invasion.”

“Article VI, Section 4 of the United States shall guarantee to every state in the nation a republican form [of government] and shall protect each against invasion and domestic violence,” Moreno stated.

“Our beautiful children have been sacrificed at the altar of elected officials and non-profits as we can see how many non-profits are making money off of our dead children.”

“I have it on good authority, our side wins! Even with all that that you have, our side wins, because you have weeping mothers not only in California but throughout the United States now. It’s not here, it’s everywhere now.”

“Stop trying to blur the difference between illegal and legal. There’s a big difference. We’re Americans — we live the American culture and we have the American spirit. We don’t steal, we don’t lie and we don’t take other people’s things.”

Moreno then pointed out that those deported get to go on living, while many victims of illegal alien violence suffer long-standing trauma, or even death.

Toward the end of her testimony, Moreno revealed why she’s so passionate about the issue.

Tucker Carlson: “The U.S. Has Imported a Foreign Criminal Class That Operates a Multi-Billion Dollar Drug Trade”

Tucker Carlson shared statistics on his show Thursday highlighting the link between immigrants and crime and said the US has in effect “imported a foreign criminal class that operates a multi-billion dollar drug trade within our borders.”

“An exclusive analysis of data collected by the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency largely vindicates the president’s claim that US immigration policies are contributing to crime in the country,” Tucker said.

“Data from each of the DEA’s 20 domestic division shows that of the 767 fugitives with known birthplaces, eighty-three percent of them were born outside of this country,” he said. “In effect the US has imported a foreign criminal class that operates a multi-billion dollar drug trade within our borders.”

  1. Probably not terrorist attack in Islington despite knife found on pavement and one in the car. The 2 offenders did run off, but were apprehended and then the police authorities control the narrative.
    We may never know, with cars and knives, and pedestrians skittled .
    To be fair, a bit soon to really know.

    Perhaps just a “copy cat” at 50 mph screeching around corners and loosing it up onto the foot path. yeah right. maybe gang rivalry, revenge, drugs, kids hooning ? who knows?

    The public have to deduce what has happened, as the police authorities credibility seems to be low.

    I have just googled “islington stabbing” and there seems to be quite a few stabbings for late last year and this year.
    Then there is this busy week.

    27th October 2016 Balls Pond Road is taped off at the junction with Kingsland Road while police investigate. The victim’s next of kin have been contacted, Scotland Yard said.

    On Tuesday last week an 18-year-old man was hospitalised after being knifed in King Henry’s Walk, leading Islington police to set up a 48-hour dispersal zone on the estate.

    Then, on Monday night, two more men were found stabbed after police were called to a “shooting” in Templeton Close.

    On arrival, armed officers found two injured men, both in their 20s. One had been stabbed and the other shot with a pellet gun.

    They were both taken to hospital as a priority by medics but are now said to be in stable condition.

    Minutes later officers found a 17-year-old boy lying in Stoke Newington Road after being slashed with a knife.

    It would seem to be a difficult place to police.
    Then to work out just what motivates people, whether Mohammad, or greed, lust, power etc.

    • Simpleton,

      Your incisive use of the internet for research may have to be curtailed lest others draw the wrong (TM) conclusions.

      • As I said and like you in name w&w
        “The public have to deduce what has happened, as the police authorities credibility seems to be low”.

        I just want us to maintain our credibility, unlike the police and authorities, who hide any thing that hints to an islamic connection, like a koran, islamic literature, prayer mats, with mental illness, and ‘lone wolf’, when it is really a “known wolf” and is truly wearing a ‘sheep skin’.

        It could well be islamic terror, just to drive a car into a group of people, then to run off, leaving knives behind. The plan to rinse and repeat, maybe ok with jail time, and then learn how to be more effective.
        After all jihadis do not necessarily need to commit suicide to create terror.
        It all depends on the levels that they are happy with.

        I can partly understand that police need to hide some things, so they can pursue the leads, that may be found on cell phones, computers etc.

        It is the twisting and obfuscation (look a squirrel over there) that makes people lose trust in authorities, and exposes the agenda that has become ingrained and imposed on them from the ‘social awareness’ groups.

        Four of the men arrested are between 17 and 19-years-old. Details of the fifth arrest have not yet been released. essex-road-crash-fifth-arrest-after-car-ploughs-into-revellers-outside-islington-pub-a3499561.html

        Yes Smarty, would be curious about the 5 arrested, but I do not think many details will come out until the trial.

        Mr McPhilips is at least the 10th person to be stabbed to death in the capital this year.
        A 17-year-old boy was also taken to an east London hospital with stab wounds. He has since been discharged. …
        “This seems to be a totally unprovoked attack which has resulted in the death of a young man and left a teenager injured.” http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/islington-murder-man-dies-in-hospital-after-being-stabbed-in-north-london-street-a3479281.html

        I wonder at what the number of stabbings that people survive. Is it creating a terror with these stabbings? Sort of a hidden jihad.

        Then normality/craziness returns when one finds this article, http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/west-ham-fans-jailed-after-violent-clash-with-arsenal-supporters-at-islington-pub-a3445091.html

    • They now have four men in custody?

      There has been a news blackout on this incident. I saw it yesterday evening. GOV is the only anti-jihad blog to cover this far. Also of interest is that none of the U.K. News sources are allowing comments on this story.

      My gut says this is car jihad, I am watching and waiting. If I see anything of interest I will alert GOV.

    • Odd how Hitchens never mentions the possibility of a combination of both drugs AND islam…

      • “drugs AND islam”.
        Sex?
        Dealing out all to the host population to drag it down, is the name of the game.

        I know we do it on our selves as well, but we do the best to battle it in our population.

        It is islam that has the automatic death penalty for apostasy, and terror with-in them-selves, and particularly to others.

  2. This morning … 26th March … BBC Radio.

    The Metropolitan Police have issued a statement that, “We may never know the motivation behind the Westminster’ Attack.”

    • Groaaaan, if that is really what they think, Britain is lost.
      We’re talking moslems here, FGS! They don’t need any motivation other than the koran.
