Gates of Vienna News Feed 10/27/2020

Riots continued for a second night in Philadelphia, prompting Mayor Jim Kenney to call in the National Guard. The unrest broke out yesterday after police shot a man named Walter Wallace Jr. to death when he advanced on them with a knife and refused to drop it. A mob of more than a thousand people began looting small businesses, and more than thirty people were arrested.

In other news, an estimated 40,000 people gathered in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, and burned French President Emmanuel Macron in effigy in a protest against the projection of Charlie Hebdo cartoons of Mohammed on the sides of public buildings in Paris.

7 Open Leftist Threats That Political Terror is Coming to America Whether Trump Wins or Not

Examples of hostilities toward Trump and his supporters abound, but leftists’ threats of terror are even greater should Biden win the presidency.

By Stella Morabito

Many leftists have directed some deeply disturbing rhetoric at conservatives and Trump supporters in recent months, claiming President Trump’s bombast is responsible for the political polarization of today’s America. This is pure nonsense.

Sure, Trump talks about MS-13 as “animals,” Antifa as “thugs,” and Hillary Clinton as crooked enough to “be in jail.” His supporters know his presentation to be a bombastic and theatrical schtick, but he never threatens any group of voters.

By contrast, some ominous tones, even homicidal and terrorist tones, are coming from the mainstream left. Increasingly, through mainstream media and Big Tech, high-profile leftists are speaking openly about violence to be inflicted on Trump and all his supporters.

I’m not talking specifically about the Antifa and Black Lives Matter street violence we’ve seen in places like Denver and Portland, which includes outright murders of Trump supporters. I’m referring here to voices that normalize and promote open terror against any freedom-respecting person who has different views from those blessed by left-wing leaders, media, and Big Tech. Seven examples are included below…

Action News Investigation: Who Was Walter Wallace Jr., the Man Shot by Philadelphia Police?

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — We are learning more about Walter Wallace Jr., the man who was shot by Philadelphia police on Monday, and protesters who clashed with officers in the wake of the shooting.

Wallace was an aspiring rapper with social media accounts filled with videos.

Guns are a central theme as he rhymes about shooting people, including police.

Breaking: National Guard Called Into Philadelphia After Prolonged Riots

Following a night of violent riots in Philadelphia that saw over 30 police officers injured, the city’s Mayor, Jim Kenney, has called in the Pennsylvania National Guard to keep the peace as the city braces for a second night of violence.

The city erupted in chaos on Monday night following the shooting death of Walter Wallace Jr., a black man who was armed with a knife. During the violence, numerous businesses were looted and several vehicles, including police cruisers, were torched.

“We were hoping that we won’t have any repeat of we’ve seen last night and we’re taking every precaution that we can,” Mayor Jim Kenney said, following Gov. Tom Wolf’s decision to activate the guard. The governor’s actions are a marked departure from other Democrat governors who’ve showed hesitation in mobilizing support from the National Guard in the ongoing riots sweeping across the United States.

Several hundred members of the National Guard will assist local police in “protecting life, property, and the right to peacefully assemble and protest,” said Lt. Col. Keith Hickox in a statement.

Facebook Backtracks After Christian Group Was Flagged as “Dangerous Conspiracy Movement”

Facebook is among the giant social platforms that have over the past months taken action to suppress and remove content uploaded by those believing in the existence of an international child trafficking conspiracy that involves some prominent political and other figures; this is known as QAnon, and is taken by these corporations not as an exploration of a conspiracy — but a dangerous conspiracy theory in itself.

The road from censoring or obscuring this type of content, to targeting that posted on Facebook by Christian organizations promoting their religion’s practices unrelated to QAnon should be very long, if not impossible — but not if “a glitch” in the censorship system occurs linking the two, and labeling one Christian group in particular associated with QAnon.

However, the founder of the group Let Us Worship, Sean Feucht, denied ever speaking about QAnon, either publicly and privately.

Facebook Accused of Censorship for Banning Anti-Biden Ad About 1994 Crime Bill

Facebook is being accused of silencing black voices after it removed an ad alleging that Joe Biden does not support black families. Facebook claimed that third-party fact-checkers could not verify the validity of the claims made on the ad so they censored it.

The ad, created by American Principles Project PAC, a conservative political action organization, shows the then Sen. Joe Biden arguing for the 1994 crime bill, which is blamed for the mass incarcerations of black people in the 1990s.

In his ruling, Domenico noted that other types of gatherings in Colorado do not face the same restrictions.

Google is Suppressing Some Breitbart News Stories in Its Search Results

Several stories from the news outlet Breitbart News are not appearing on the first page of Google Search, even when users search for the exact headline.

Most of the time, an exact search for a news headline in Google Search will display a story from the news outlet that first published a story with that headline at the top of the search results. It’s unusual for an outlet that first published a story with the headline that’s being searched for to not occupy this top slot. And it’s very uncommon for an outlet that first published a story with the headline to not even feature on the first page of Google Search results.

How COVID-19 Vaccine Trials Are Rigged

COVID-19 Vaccine Trials Rigged to Pass Efficacy Test

Story at-a-glance:

While vaccine makers insist any COVID-19 vaccine reaching the market will have undergone rigorous testing, the way trial protocols are designed suggests these vaccines will not have a significant impact on infection rates, hospitalizations or deaths.

Shockingly, preventing infection with SARS-CoV-2 is not a criterion for success in these vaccine trials. The only criterion for a successful COVID-19 vaccine is a reduction of symptoms shared by both COVID-19 and the common cold.

In AstraZeneca’s case, the interim analysis includes 50 vaccine recipients. The vaccine will be a success if 12 or fewer develop symptoms after exposure to SARS-CoV-2, compared to 19 in the 25-person control group.

At least two cases of transverse myelitis (severe inflammation of the spinal cord) has been documented in AstraZeneca’s trial, and the company temporarily halted its trial in September 2020. In October, Johnson & Johnson also paused its trial due to an undisclosed “unexplained illness” in one of its participants.

If the vaccine cannot reduce infection, hospitalization or death, then it cannot end the pandemic, which means everyone who takes the vaccine will be doing so in vain.

Hunter Biden Confesses Partnership With China ‘Spy Chief’ — Fumes After He and Joe Named as Criminal Witnesses: Audio

Authored by Raheem Kassam and Natalie Winters via The National Pulse (emphasis ours)

An audio recording exclusively obtained by the National Pulse reveals Hunter Biden discussing business involvement with a “spy chief of China” and how his business partner Devon Archer named him and his father as witnesses in a Southern District of New York Criminal case.

Hunter Biden — in an audio file labelled “Most Genius S*** Ever” — appears to be referencing Patrick Ho, who was a former Secretary for Home Affairs in Hong Kong, as a “spy chief of China” while lamenting how his business partner Ye Jianming of CEFC China Energy had disappeared.

Is Dr. Anthony Fauci Guilty of Negligent Homicide?

by Kelleigh Nelson

Today’s media are Stalinist to the core. They are prejudicial liars who promote poisonous propaganda to manipulate public opinion. The MSM and Anthony Fauci continue promoting fear and panic despite knowledge that even PCR testing has a very high false positive rate, that 99.98 percent of Americans who get this virus survive with no ill effects, and that your chances of getting and dying of Covid in America are one in 19.1 million if you’re between the ages of 50 — 65. Only six percent of Americans who have died with Covid died strictly from the virus and not from other causes, according to new numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The highest danger is for the elderly with comorbidities. How many thousands of senior Americans died alone in nursing homes because of five governors who should literally be tried for premeditated murder.

Donald Trump’s presidency has so frightened globalists around the world that they are literally pulling out all the stops to destroy him and the greatest country in the history of the world — the United States. Crashing Trump’s economy, no matter the cost to American citizens has been the democrat’s goal. And Dr. Fauci is in his glory.

Dr. Anthony Fauci praised the Director General of WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, as an “outstanding person,” and said the World Health Organization, (WHO) has done very well under his leadership. He has also quoted the Director and China information as fact, Dr. Tedros is a mouthpiece for China. The WHO Collaborating Centre for Public Health Education and Training has been located at Imperial College London since 2008. And it was Dr. Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx who used Imperial College’s false models to convince President Trump to shut down the entire economy.

Think there was no collusion?…

In 2008, Dr. Anthony Fauci co-authored a paper about the Spanish Flu Epidemic that ratedit as the most devastating modern pandemic. It swept the entire planet in the wake of the First World War and caused millions of deaths.

In studying this major and actual pandemic, what did Dr. Fauci and his colleagues find? They discovered that most of the victims of the Spanish Flu didn’t die from the Spanish Flu. They died from bacterial pneumonia. And the bacterial pneumonia was caused by… wait for it, wait for it… wearing masks.

The intention then, as now, was to halt the spread of the disease by wearing masks, but what actually happened was that an “unobserved” pandemic of bacterial pneumonia was unwittingly created instead.

Meet Eric Feigl-Ding: How a Nutritionist-Turned-Politician Became a “COVID-19 Expert” With a Far-Left Agenda

Authored by Jordan Schachtel via The Dossier substack

If you’re on social media and you follow news related to the coronavirus pandemic, chances are you’ve stumbled upon some panicked pandemic posts coming from a man named Eric Feigl-Ding, a nutritionist and longtime democrat political operative who has succeeded in impersonating a medical professional, and is generating a cult following in the process.

With one hysterical tweet after another, Feigl-Ding went from having a small social media following to accumulating a massive army of influence. Feigl-Ding’s consistent elevation of fear and panic, doom and gloom, and his relentless themes of chaos and destruction related to a virus with a 99.8% recovery rate has brought his accounts millions of clicks and views, and hundreds of thousands of new followers.

And he did it all without having a clue what he’s talking about.

The ‘Charlatan’

At the beginning of 2020, Feigl-Ding was an unpaid, visiting scientist in Harvard’s nutrition department. His academic research centered entirely around nutrition, diet, and exercise. If Eric Feigl-Ding was interested in pandemics and the study of viruses, his research and academic credentials did not reflect that.

When the coronavirus pandemic began to make waves in the media, everything changed. Feigl-Ding, an aspiring politician, appeared to see an opening to influence the masses and build up his brand.

Feigl-Ding’s rise to coronavirus stardom began with this since-deleted tweet falsely describing the coronavirus as “the most virulent virus epidemic the world has ever seen.”

More Than 30 Arrested After Riots Erupt in Philadelphia Following Alleged Police Shooting of Man With Knife

Riots erupted Monday in Philadelphia after a man allegedly armed with a knife was shot and killed by police, numerous sources reported.

Police in Philadelphia said that 30 officers were injured during the riots, dozens were hit with rocks and other projectiles, and a 56-year-old female officer was hit by a pickup truck and hospitalized, USA Today reported.

The riots began after a man identified as 27-year-old Walter Wallace Jr. was killed by police after officers responded Monday to a report of a man with a weapon. When they arrived at the scene, they encountered a man with a knife who was told repeatedly to drop the knife, according to police. The unidentified man didn’t follow calls to drop the knife, and police opened fire, shooting him multiple times, according to NBC.

New Court Created for COVID Vaccine Injuries

Story at-a-glance

A new COVID vaccine court, which includes compensation for covered “countermeasures” for COVID-19, such as a vaccine, has been established by the federal government.

Not only will pharmaceutical companies developing and marketing COVID-19 vaccines be shielded from what should be their liability in the civil court system, but federal compensation will likely be difficult to obtain, as it is in the existing vaccine court created under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986.

The establishment of a preemptive COVID vaccine court could be a sign that the government foresees many lawsuits related to this fast-tracked vaccine in the near future.

The expansion of a federal vaccine court to include makers of experimental COVID-19 vaccines allows the irresponsible sale and marketing of vaccines that have been poorly tested and formulated because the manufacturers have no liability and “nothing to lose”.

The Murder Plot Against the President

For those inclined to dismiss the idea of hit squads or assassins targeting American figures, consider the mysterious 2010 death of former presidential aide John P. Wheeler, the subject of a new “Unsolved Mysteries” story on Netflix. His body was found at the Cherry Island Landfill in Joe Biden’s state of Delaware.Wheeler, who associated with members of the political and military elite, was said by his wife to have looked “frightened” before his death. Described as the “Washington Insider Murder,” he was also said to have many “enemies” from his work in the national defense area.

Another Washington insider, Trump Attorney General William Barr,also seems frightened. He disclosed that the probe into Obamagate won’t produce a report until after the election. Obamagate involves how the Obama-Biden Administration used the intelligence agencies to destroy and obstruct the Trump presidency, using material supplied by Russia and paid for by Hillary Clinton.

Investigator Chris Farrell asks why Barr fights Judicial Watch in virtually every Freedom of Information Act lawsuit seeking records over the Obamagate coup plot. Farrell, who was banned by Fox for criticizing George Soros on the Lou Dobbs show, has also drawn attention to CIA director Gina Haspel’s role in Obamagate.

The FBI is headed by Christopher Wray, who was nominated by Trump but sat on the evidence of corruption in Hunter Biden’s laptop for almost a year. (The FBI has since reportedly interviewed Hunter business associate Tony Bobulinski).

On top of this cover-up, Big Tech has censored evidence of Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden’s involvement in his son’s schemes involving China and Ukraine.

The Department of Justice has filed suit against Google, the gatekeeper of the Internet, over exercising monopoly control over how the American people get their news, but the action comes too late to make a real difference on November 3.

Barr’s failures tell us a lot about the power of the Deep State.

Tony Bobulinski Tells Tucker: Joe Biden Denials of Involvement in Son’s Business ‘A Blatant Lie’

Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, will tell “Tucker Carlson Tonight” in an exclusive interview Tuesday evening that Joe Biden’s denials of knowledge or involvement in his son’s foreign dealings are “a blatant lie.”

Bobulinski, a Navy veteran and the former head of SinoHawk Holdings — which he describes as a partnership between the CEFC China Energy conglomerate and two Biden family members — told Carlson that he almost walked out of last week’s second presidential debate when Biden discussed the topic.

“In that debate, he made a specific statement around questions around this from the president,” recalled Bobulinski, who attended the debate as Trump’s guest. “And I’ll be honest with you, I almost stood up and screamed ‘liar’ and walked out because I was shocked that after four days or five days that they prep for this, that the Biden family is taking that position to the world.”

Trump is the Anti-War President

During one of three rallies in Pennsylvania Monday, President Trump celebrated the one year anniversary of the killing of ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, which effectively ended the genocidal terrorist group.

Trump told the crowd that he has presided over taking out the world’s top terrorists.

“Exactly one year ago today, we killed the leader of ISIS, al-Baghdadi. And we took out the world’s number one terrorist, Soleimani is dead. And we took 100 percent of the ISIS caliphate, you know that, 100 percent,” Trump boomed.

“Instead of never-ending wars, we are forging peace in the Middle East,” Trump added.

Czechia Surpasses Italy and Spain in GDP Per Capita Statistics

According to the latest International Monetary Fund (IMF) survey, the Czech Republic is ahead of Spain and Italy in terms of GDP per capita. Although this result is affected by the coronavirus crisis, which has taken a severe toll on big economies, this metric is expected to remain in place even after the crisis ends.

The IMF also believes that within five years, Czechia will surpass New Zealand and Japan and reach 25th place in GDP per capita.

According to the IMF, gross domestic product per capita in the Czech Republic this year is 38,120 international dollars at constant prices and converted into purchasing power parity. The IMF converted salaries into international dollars as of 2017 to compare GDP per capita between countries.

Erdogan: Muslims in Europe Are Treated Like Jews Before World War II

Really? Where has a single state denied Muslims the right to employment, or confiscated their property, or done anything comparable to what National Socialist Germany did to the Jews before World War II? Also, if this were true, why are Muslims trying so hard to get into Europe, rather than streaming out of it?

Erdogan’s rhetoric, as absurd as it is, is designed to enrage and incite Muslims in Europe to violence, with the goal of disrupting and ultimately destroying the existing order in Europe.

“The press fulfills a public task when it procures and disseminates news in matters of public interest, takes a position, criticizes or otherwise participates in the formation of opinion”, said the reasoning for the decision that was made public on Wednesday, according to a report from Berlin-based newspaper Junge Freiheit.

Hamas-Linked CAIR Demands France be Investigated for ‘Collective Punishment’ of Muslims After Jihad Beheading

Hamas-linked CAIR is getting CAIRless: this press release is riddled with errors. The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom is USCIRF, not USCIFR. The man who was beheaded in France for showing a Muhammad cartoon was Samuel Paty, not Samuel Petty (they do get it right the second time). Apparently having the establishment media and numerous gutless and/or witless government and law enforcement officials under your thumb can make you complacent enough to slight the details.

Anyway, here we go yet again: any counterterror measure, no matter how mild, is “collective punishment” of Muslims and must be ended. Hamas-linked CAIR has so consistently opposed such measures that one might get the impression that they want the jihad to advance unimpeded. Inconceivable, right?

Muslim Academic Tries to Refute Robert Spencer’s ‘History of Jihad, ‘ Fails Miserably

Jihad Watch reader Mark has alerted me to an academic review of my book The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS by one Ahmed Achrati, who says that he “graduated from Law School in Algeria and received an LL.M from the School of Law at NYU, and a Ph.D. in International Relations from the University of Pennsylvania.” Achrati adds: “I Taught [sic; “taught” should not be capitalized in this instance, kids] Law, Anthropology, Islamic Studies, and Language at different universities and colleges. Semi-retired, I am currently teaching two courses, Anthropology and Qur’an & Modern Society as part of the Osher Program at Johns Hopkin [sic] University, and American University. I am also a research volunteer at the Smithsonian NMAFA.”

Achrati’s review is so ridiculous that I initially thought I’d say nothing about it, but given that it is a pseudo-academic paper, it can serve as an illuminating example of how intellectually lazy and biased the academic environment has become in America today. Achrati attempts to give the appearance of rational analysis, but the more one examines his points, the less there is to see, and the more he comes off as something akin to an anonymous ranter on Twitter screaming his illogic, sloganeering and propaganda as if it were Socratic wisdom. Nonetheless, he is almost certain to gain the applause of his academic peers for his paper, and that also is an indication of how much American academia has degenerated.

Turkey: Presidential Communications Top Dog Says ‘Europe is an Increasingly Dangerous Place for Muslims’

Nonetheless, Altun says, they are there to stay and will continue to menace those who dare to exercise the freedom of speech: “Here’s what those Europeans need to understand: Muslims won’t go away because you don’t want us. We won’t turn the other cheek when you insult us. We will defend ourselves and our own at all costs.”

This is a clear threat, a demand that Europe discard the freedom of expression in order to keep Muslims from becoming violent. If Europe gives in to this, it will no longer be a home of free societies. A society in which there is one protected class that cannot be insulted or even mocked is a society in which that protected class can do whatever it wants without fear of any opposition.

Macron has refused to apologize for the cartoons, as many in the Islamic world have demanded, instead announcing France would not yield to violence or intimidation in attempts to curtail free speech. The French government also held a national tribute to Paty, which many in the Islamic world considered an insult given Paty’s status as an infidel.

According to the “Federal Development Strategy” in the Official Gazette, that is the upper end of the scale resulting from a series of “transformative” reforms and educational advances over 2021-2031 that would deliver average annual GDP growth of 3.5%.

This would lift Brazil’s GDP per capita in U.S. dollars above that of other emerging nations such as Argentina, Poland and Croatia by 2031, and closer to Chile and Hungary, countries ranked highly in the Human Development Index.

Illegal Migrant Trafficker Blows Himself Up With Hand Grenade While Fleeing Hungarian Police

On Monday evening, a human trafficker detonated a hand grenade when stopped by Hungarian police officers, which resulted in a blast that killed him. The incident occurred only a few kilometers from the Austrian border, near the village of Vitnyéd, in the northwestern part of Hungary.

When police officers spotted a suspicious vehicle carrying six passengers heading towards Austria, they ordered the driver of the vehicle to stop. When the car pulled over, five foreign nationals were found in the passenger compartment.

The driver, however, jumped out of the vehicle and tried to flee. He was seen holding a handgun and what appeared to be a hand grenade while running away from the vehicle. The officers have instructed the driver to stop, but he had refused to comply with the police officers’ instructions, which prompted the officers to fire a warning shot in the air. It was at this moment that the alleged trafficker, while running away, had turned the muzzle of his handgun towards himself and the explosive device detonated in his hand. The suspect was declared dead at the scene.

With the Syrian population estimated at 800,000 out of a country of 83 million, Syrians account for less than one percent of the German population bot over 12 percent of all violent crime.’

    Make up 12 percent of all violent crimes *committed by foreigners*, the article and its quoted source both start with stating the number of foreign suspects then go into a breakdown by nationality, but remix news circles back and sneaks this when they could just stick to their own facts and the point is made just the same, such as a third of violent have foreign background suspects.

  4. OT: Got this from a follower of my podcast:

    Mr Derbyshire ;
    I’m writing to draw your attention to a Swedish TV show I’ve been watching called “Kalifate”. It’s another one of those Swedish crime thrillers with a bit of a twist: most of the characters are “new Swedes”, and one of the plot lines is the radicalizing of young Muslim Swedes- the re-introduction of the hijab over the wishes of the father, and a group of young men who “return” to the middle east. It’s a terrorist cell whose member speak to each other mostly in Swedish. I’m frankly surprised that it was produced in thoroughly cucked Sweden. I’m only on Episode 3, so maybe they’ll come around to a more politically correct viewpoint as the series continues. I though you might be interested, as the absimilation of second generation Muslims had been one of your regular topics.
