Gates of Vienna News Feed 4/26/2017

Twice as many migrants — 700,000 — were granted asylum in the EU in 2016 compared with the previous year. And those are just the legally recorded asylees — there are no official estimates of the number of migrants who have come to Europe and remain there illegally “off the books”.

Meanwhile, according to the latest opinion poll, 52% of Swedes favor reducing the number of asylum seekers allowed into the country, while 26% oppose the idea.

In other news, police in New South Wales are planning a new anti-terror unit that will identify and intervene with vulnerable individuals who may be prone to radicalization. The new unit will pay special attention to people who have mental health issues.

The woman’s mother had reported her missing just a few hours before, according to the station.

Shots Fired Amid Search for Delaware Trooper Shooting Suspect

BEAR, Del. (WPVI) — A man believed to be a suspect in the shooting of a Delaware state trooper is firing shots at police from his home in Middletown, officials said.

It is happening in the 500 block of St. Michaels Drive in the Brick Mill Farms Development.

Residents in the area are being told to stay inside their homes and lock their doors until notified otherwise…

Dramatic Rescue: Woman to be Charged With Mischief

After a heart-stopping four and a half hours hanging on for her life, a young woman is now safe on solid ground, and in handcuffs.

Police say a woman who had to be rescued from a downtown crane will be charged with mischief.

It was a dramatic rescue. A firefighter and police negotiator climbed a tall crane at a condo construction site at Church and Wellesley Sts early Wednesday morning, where the woman had been stuck since before 4 a.m.

The woman had climbed the crane and across the boom, and she ended up somehow sliding down a steel cable to a block of metal hanging about 200 ft above the ground.

She clung to the cable while sitting on the block, until a firefighter was able to climb up and rappel down to her from the boom. Once she was secure, the two of them slowly rappeled to safety.

The woman was taken away in an ambulance to be checked out, in handcuffs.

Police say she is being held overnight and will appear in court Thursday morning to face six charges of public mischief.

“This is Absurd!” Stoney-Faced MEPs Look on Aghast as Hungary PM Gives Them Both Barrels

The firebrand leader tore into Brussels during a jaw-dropping speech to the EU parliament in Brussels, in which he accused euro representatives of being “prejudiced” against his country.

In an attack on EU political correctness he raged: “We are really irritated by the verbal strait jacket which stops us from calling a spade a spade and this kind of talk has become very common in European public life recently.”

‘Come and Join the Brexit Club’ — Farage Shouts Down Brussels Over Treatment of Eurosceptics

The former Ukip leader questioned why European leaders were happy to be “attacked and abused” by unelected European Union leaders.

Mr Farage, speaking in the European Parliament, sided with under fire Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban, who was facing questions about his leadership.

Mr Orban’s leadership has been subject to an 18-month inquiry by MEPs, who suggested his government was a threat to democracy and their European values.

EU Takes Legal Action Over New Hungarian Education Law

Shutting down a university founded by Soros

(ANSA) — BRUSSELS — The European Union has launched legal action against Hungary over a new higher education law that critics say is aimed at shuttingdown a university founded by billionaire philanthropist George Soros, Ap reported.

European Commission Vice president Valdis Dombrovskis said Wednesday that the EU’s executive arm has sent a “letter of formal notice” to Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government.

Dombrovskis said the action is based on “an in-depth legal assessment.” Thehigher education law was approved earlier this month and is set to enter force in October. The president of the Soros-backed Central European University says it means that his campus in Budapest might not be able to accept new students after Jan. 1.

Italy’s 5-Star Builds Policies and Poll Lead as Rivals Struggle

With the ruling center-left Democratic Party embroiled in a bruising leadership battle and center-right parties unable to agree on a leader, opinion polls give 5-Star a growing lead, which one pollster last week put as high as 8 percentage points.

Croatia: After 70 Years, Eagle Returns on Tower in Rijeka

Coat of arms of the Adriatic city in the Austro-Hungarian era

(ANSA) — ZAGABRIA — The Rijeka (Fiume in Italian) Clock Tower, one of the most recognizable symbols of the North Adriatic city, after almost seventy years and starting today, is again adorned with a sculpture depicting the biceps eagle, coat of arms of the city in the Austrian era. The new sculptureis a faithful replica of the original one, was placed today on the dome ofthe civic clock that is located on the turret in the main street of Rijeka, the famous ‘Corso’. The biceps eagle, a symbol of the Habsburg Monarchy, rulers of Rijeka during the sixteenth century and until 1918, was placed in1906, when the city was still part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. At the end of WW1, after the Italian occupation of Rijeka/Fiume, though preservingthe sculpture in its place, the “Arditi” led by Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio cut off one of the eagle’s heads, since the two-headed bird was anAustrian symbol, while the one with one head was the traditional Roman eagle. The sculpture was removed in 1949, a few years after the annexation of Rijeka to Yugoslavia, by the Communist authorities, that considered it as the symbol of foreign oppressors. Today, Rijeka Mayor Vojko Obersnel has pointed out that the controversial history of this sculpture reflects the city’s complicated history, recalling that even the idea of putting the eagle biceps back on its original place caused controversy and opposition.

Edi Rama Does Not Rule Out Albania-Kosovo Union

Serbia’s reaction: ‘Threat to peace and stability’

(ANSA) — BELGRADE — The Serbian leadership has strongly condemned Albanian Prime minister’s statements. Edi Rama did not rule out a union between Albania and Kosovo in the event that the European prospect for the Western Balkans disappeared.

“Rama’s words are further confirmation that the implementation of the nationalistic plan for a Greater Albania remains the main objective of all Albanians. This is a huge threat to peace and stability in the Balkans and in Europe”, said Serbia’s Foreign Minister of Serbia Ivica Dacic.

“For this reason I ask the EU, the US, Britain and other countries: how long will they remain silent while someone is threatening Serbia?” Dacic added.

Through some press releases issued by regional media, Albanian premier Ramasaid that Europe would fall into a “nightmare” if the Balkans were left alone, by excluding them from the EU integration”.

Mouner El Aoual planning attacks in Italy

(ANSA) — Turin, April 26 — There are some 12,000 jihadists on a social-media platform used by a Moroccan man arrested in Turin Monday for allegedly promoting Islamist extremism on the Internet, planning attacks in Italy and looking for people to carry them out with, ROS security police and the FBI said Wednesday.

The Moroccan, Mouner El Aoual, wasoverheard by the FBI saying in February 26 that if ISIS were to ask him tocarry out an attack in Italy, he would need three men with whom, thanks tothe material he had with him, he could reach “the power of 15 people”. In his arrest warrant, a preliminary investigations judge said El Aoual, 29, was “extremely dangerous” and at a “high risk of moving to the execution of serious acts of violence”.

Lithuanian Volunteers Help Soldiers in Eastern Ukraine

Government helped Kiev with more than 8.5 million euros

(ANSA) — TRIESTE — They call themselves Blue-Yellow Movement, a group of Lithuanian volunteers that help Ukrainian government forces in their struggleagainst pro-Russian rebels by supplying non-lethal military aid, such as night-vision goggles, helmets, bullet-proof vests and telescopic sniper sights. The Lithuanian government is aware of the Blue-Yellow Movement’s activities, none of which is thought to be illegal. There is technically no international embargo that prevents these items from being distributed in Ukraine, especially as they are donations.

According to AP, since the conflict began, millions of euros have been pumped into Ukraine by Lithuania, with regular fund raising events. The government has also helped with more than 8.5 million euros aid to Ukraine, according to Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius. Defense Minister Raimundas Karoblis assured Ukrainians that Lithuania would continue supporting its resistance against Russian separatist aggression. Hundreds of wounded soldiers aretreated at Lithuanian hospitals, and children from the war zone are brought to schools in the Baltic country. Lithuania has no border with Ukraine, but like its Baltic neighbours it shares a frontier with Russia: the exclaveof Kaliningrad, which Moscow uses as a major Baltic military base.

A Blue-Yellow Movement volunteer told AP that “if we don’t help stop the Russians in Ukraine, they will eventually come to get us too. We have worked in Ukraine for several years now. We know the needs, who needs it and how to provide it”.

Moldova: EU: Country Should Respect Association Agreement

Authorities’ task to establish relationships with Eurasian Union

(ANSA) — BRUSSELS — The European Union takes note of the decision made by the states which are members of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) to approve”Moldova’s application for observer status, presented by President Igor Dodon”, but at the same time expects “that the Republic of Moldova, like all countries that have assumed legal obligations towards the EU, fully respects these obligations” within the framework of the association Agreement (entered into force in July 2016) and Free Trade Agreement.

This is what an EC spokesperson said, commenting on the decision made last week in Kyrgyzstan by the Supreme Council of the EEU, the association created by Russian President Putin.

“It is primarily a task of the Moldovan authorities to outline the relations between the country and the EEU”, said the EU spokesperson, however, recalling the EU’s commitment — as a trading partner — in terms of economic assistance to Moldova.

“The commitments included” in the signed agreements, however, “do not prevent the development of political and economic relations with other partners and in particular with its neighbours, on the contrary, they encourage them” he underlined.

A Boy in Malaysia Has Died Following a Horrific School Beating

A schoolboy in Malaysia has died after a horrific beating at a religious school.

Eleven-year-old Mohamad Thaqif Amin Mohd. Gaddafi was due to his arm amputated on Wednesday in a desperate bid to save his life after both of his legs were earlier removed to stop the spread of bacterial infections resulting from the beating, according to Malaysian newspaper the Star.

However, he died in hospital the same day before the procedure could be carried out, the Star reports.

Thaqif’s fatal injuries were allegedly the result of a severe beating from a 29-year-old assistant warden at the school in Kota Tinggi, Johor state. The boy was one of 15 students whipped with a garden hose for making noise in the school’s place of worship.

The suspect, currently in police remand, will be brought before a judge and likely transferred to judicial custody.

New Anti-Terror Unit Will Target Potential Australian Extremists

NSW Police will form a new unit aimed at identifying and investigating people who could be vulnerable to radicalisation by terrorism groups.

New commissioner Mick Fuller will announce the Fixated Persons Investigations Unit, comprising 15 detectives and mental health experts, later on Wednesday.

While the link between mental health and terrorism is controversial, Mr Fuller told The Australian “we’ve got to be courageous enough to say some of these people have got significant mental health issues.”

Police hope the new unit would help them identify and stop individuals like Lindt Cafe gunman Man Haron Monis, who attacked the Martin Place, Sydney, cafe in December 2014, resulting in the deaths of cafe manager Tori Johnson and barrister Katrina Dawson.

Monis was diagnosed by at least one doctor as schizophrenic and had a long history of offensive, ­religious-style propaganda, but who was not being actively investigated at the time he stormed the cafe.

8 thoughts on “Gates of Vienna News Feed 4/26/2017

  1. On the New South Wales Police, once my employer, and the anti-radicalization schemes that get to waste even more tax payer funds in the endless endeavour to curtail the ‘terrorist’, usually described as a ‘lone wolf’ type of person who generally hangs out alone being ‘radicalized’, by God knows what, because we the public, are not supposed to know that nearly 99.5% of ‘terrorists’ are actually Muslim who live among us, just in case we, the general public, may start to join a few dots together.

    My prediction is, that this new Commissioner will go far, as far as his ability to continue to lie to himself, his family, and the people of New South Wales he has supposedly taken an oath to protect from danger of any description.

  2. I think it is worth pointing out, with regards to the piece of information on swedish public opinion, that the total population of immigrants and descendents in Sweden constitutes about 37%. I do not recall precisely, but the non-western segment of this group is around 15%. Making, based on the strong in group preference fostered by both islam and the “institutional racism” narrative, the reasonable ansatz that most of this group will always be pro infiltration, the 26% against is significant.

    • About 5-6% of the Swedish population is of non-Swedish ‘migrant-refugee’ background, certainly no more than 6%.

  3. These people are coming from countries where the support for things like Sharia, cutting off hands for theft, and stoning people to death for adultery is very high (60-80%). In Afghanistan, the support-rate for Sharia is even 99% (Pew Research, 2013).

    Europe is the place where Western civilization was born. Freedom of conscience, secularism, abolishment of slavery, women’s rights, freedom of expression, and universal human rights were all created and established in and by Europe.

    You would think that European leaders and especially the EU (which apparently stands for “European Union”) would be dedicated towards preserving these values. In reality, they are doing the opposite: they are destroying Europe and everything that it stands for, including women’s rights. EU leaders such as Frans Timmermans have a strange obsession with “diversity” that doesn’t really make much sense. Europe is already diverse, because France, Great Britain, Italy, Germany, Spain and Sweden are very different countries. It is exactly this European diversity that has been the cause of progress during the previous 500 years. The type of “diversity” that the EU is propagating, leads to destruction of Europe.

    The EU needs to fall and it needs to fall hard. The influence of the individuals who are working in Brussels needs to be reduced to 0. In addition, radical political change is needed in order to save Europe. A Le Pen victory would be a good first step.

  4. The best solution, of course, is to never have the problem. But leftists will not abide such logic and so they form “anti-terrorism” organs to chase a problem they continue to create in the same way that a some dogs chase their own tail.

  5. Here is a piece from Breitbart that is of great importance arguing against FGM.

    It is important because it contains quotes that help shut down the SJW arguments that:

    1) FGM is a cultural, rather than religious practice

    2) FGM is practiced by the Sunni majority, and largely unheard of amongst Shi’ites

    The money paragraph:

    “Previously unheard of in the United States, the criminal complaints against the three suspects in this Michigan-based conspiracy to commit FGM — Nagarwala, Dr. Fakhruddin Attar, and his wife, Farida Attar — describe them as members of a “particular religious and cultural community.” That community has since been revealed as the Dawoodi Bohra Muslim sect, a branch of Shi’ite Islam popular in India, Pakistan, and East Africa. The worldwide leader of that sect, Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin, has repeatedly called for the tradition of FGM to continue, describing it, according to a State Department report, as an “act of religious purity” and “a religious obligation for all women and girls.”

  6. “How long will the EU, US and Britain remain silent while someone is threatening Serbia?”
    Is Dacic being serious? Those countries remained very silent while moslems infested Serbia (Kosovo) and then bombed hell out of the Serbs for defending their own country!

    So, there were atrocities? There has never been a war anywhere without atrocities, it’s just that even then the west was scared {manure}-less of offending moslems.

    Which begs the very pregnant question: just why are western leaders so terrified of a retrograde, largely illiterate pack of cretinous desert rabble?

    • Because they are already here.

      The retrograde, largely illiterate pack of cretinous desert rabble, that is.

      The Politicians may need a long spoon to sup with the Devil, but as
      long as they can count on his vote…
