Rabbi Attacked in Vienna by Nondescript Woman

Posted on by

A Viennese rabbi was attacked last Thursday by a woman who threatened him with a knife. It’s frustrating to watch videos or read articles about the incident, because there is so little information about the perpetratrix. She is said to be about 5’7″ and to have worn a grey coat. OK, that narrows it down. And she shouted “inappropriate slogans”. Such as…?

Did she yell “Allahu Akhbar”? Or, perhaps, “You can take your gefilte fish and stuff it”?

Actually, the lack of a definitive description is a sign that she is probably a culture-enricher. After all, if she had been a blond blue-eyed native Austrian, we would surely have been told all the details.

Anti-Semitic attack on rabbi

During the attack, woman screamed anti-Semitic words

Vienna: An anti-Semitic attack upon a rabbi occurred on Thursday in Vienna-Landstrasse [a district in Vienna], the Interior Ministry announced Friday. A woman threatened the rabbi at a bus stop with a knife, tore his kippah from his head, and tried to kick him. At the same time, the attacker screamed, “Slaughter all Jews.” The rabbi was uninjured.

Sharp reactions

“Jew-hatred and anti-Semitism have no place in our society. My solidarity is with all Jewesses and Jews living in Austria,” tweeted Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen. Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz had already reacted on Thursday night: “I condemn the anti-Semitic attack on a rabbi in Vienna in the sharpest terms. We must fight anti-Semitism with all our determination and do everything to enable Jewish life here in Austria to be safe. Because Europe without Jews is no longer Europe,” declared Kurz. Interior Minister Karl Nehammer added: “In addition to strengthened protection for synagogues, all measures will be taken to quickly clear up this attack that was obviously motivated by anti-Semitism. There is no tolerance for anti-Semitism.” The president of the Vienna Jewish Religious Community, Oskar Deutsch, described the attack as “a disturbing incident that has unsettled many.”

The attacker is about 50 years old and 170 centimeters [5’7″] tall, and wore a grey coat.

Soros: A Man with a Mission

Soros: A Man with a Mission

by Demeter Szilárd

Published on origo.hu, November 28, 2020
“Revoked” on November 29, 2020

I observe quite a few artists and intellectuals nearing to the end of their lives and looking back to their oeuvre, perceiving that they have been judged in the balance and found wanting; just moments after their deaths they would be forgotten — even by their biographers. Somehow, I can understand the frustration of these people. They have made bad choices and are now facing the consequences. Everybody is living their own lives, but — what is more important — as philosophers have said: everybody will die their own deaths.

Presumably George Soros is struggling with the same feelings. Just before the end of his life, he was hit by the truth of the commonplace wisdom: money does not bring happiness. One cannot bring his money with him to the opposite side of the river. The financial security of his family had been established long ago for several generations to come, so only one question remains for him: what will happen to George Soros once he ceases to exist? He is not talented as a writer; his philosophy is troubled and inconsistent. He is, however, smart enough to realize he is not a genius. This might be his greatest grief.

Standing in the doorway of death, George Soros is carving his own statue. He thinks of himself as a man with a mission. His mission: George Soros, the New Messiah. However, this mission is lacking a transcendent dimension. The god of George Soros is George Soros, incarnate and descended to our world in the form of George Soros.

He is moving his chess pieces on a global chessboard. Given that the key to his financial success is playing unfairly, no wonder he also keeps changing the rules in his assumed “world-saving” chess game to his own taste. He is the playmaker, the referee, the striker and the scoreboard clerk in one person.

We have seen enough of this type in the history of mankind. Those with enough money and power made themselves dictators; those lacking it, servants of the dictators. And all of them — without exception — wanted to reach the throne of eternity by climbing a mountain of the corpses of the victims of their own tyranny.

In today’s world, the path to the throne of Soros leads across our very bodies. Europe has became the gas chamber of George Soros. The toxic gas is flowing from the capsule of the “multicultural open society”, lethal to the European way of life, and we, the peoples of Europe are doomed to fight for the last gasps of breathable air treading and climbing over one another’s bodies.

A Fascination With Decapitation

Nice: Youth sentenced to 18 months in prison for threatening to kill a teacher “like Samuel Paty”

A young man of 19, with no record, sentenced for threatening a teacher with death on social media

by Le Figaro with AFP
November 27, 2020

A young man of 19 has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for threatening to kill a teacher “like Samuel Paty”, in reference to the teacher decapitated in October in Val d’Oise, the prosecutor of Nice reported Saturday.

Judged in an immediate appearance, Friday 27 November, the defendant defended himself, according to an account of the hearing published by the daily Nice-Matin, explaining that it was a “joke”, intended only to show off in front of another young high school student.

This young man, who holds a professional baccalaureate and has completed school, had gotten wind on social media of an incident that had happened in one of the teacher’s classes. The latter, a teacher for some 30 years, had asked for an explanation from certain pupils who were suspected of cheating during a “white” baccalaureate test.

The defendant then succeeded in obtaining the private account address of the teacher on other social media, in order to be able to threaten him with a similar death to that of Samuel Paty, a teacher killed by a young man after showing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed to his pupils during a course on freedom of expression.

“My client has lived through two very difficult weeks,” explains Julien Darras, lawyer for the civil part of the case, representing the victim. This teacher was forced to stop his courses and remove his name from his mailbox, while the police were identifying the author of the threats.

The defendant, with a clean record, faced up to seven years of imprisonment for public support of terrorist acts by electronic means and making a death threat. He has ten days to file an appeal of this judgment accompanied by an immediate custody warrant.

Stabbed in Neukölln for Wearing a Cross

Posted on by


[Note: This is a stock photo, and does not show the suspects described in the article below.]

Two culture-enrichers accosted a man in the Muslims-only district of Neukölln in Berlin, beating and stabbing him for wearing a cross.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Politikstube:

Berlin: Man stabbed because of his Cross — perpetrators probably Afghans

Typically Berlin: After almost 11 weeks, the police published two phantom images for the search. The two wanted men attacked a man who was wearing a chain with a cross.

The attack happened on September 11, 2017 near the Neukölln S-Bahn and U-Bahn station. Neukölln, especially the north, is considered a Muslim zone, where many obviously still do not speak the German language even after many years, more headscarves than in Izmir, plus this provocative macho culture on the streets and in public transport, which signals: “We own everything here”, “What are you looking at me for?”

An adventure trip for anyone that shows up with Christian symbols.

On September 11, the 23-year-old was approached by the two men at around 10 p.m. near the Neukölln S and U-Bahn station. They noticed a cross hanging on a long chain around his neck. After they asked him why he became a Christian, one of the attackers tore the young man’s chain off his neck and threw it on the ground. Then he hit the victim in the face several times with his fist. The second man held him while the other attacker cut his upper body with a knife.

The men then fled, leaving the 23-year-old injured.

This is how the suspects are described: The first suspect (photo on the left), presumably an Afghan, is between 27 and 30 years old, around 177 cm tall, has dark hair and a full beard. The second perpetrator (photo on the right) is also between 27 and 30 years old, about 173 cm tall and has a beard. He’s probably Afghan too.

The police can receive information on the following telephone number: 4664-953315, or on this telephone number: 4664-950130 or at any police station. […] Source: bz-berlin.de/24.11.2017

Shoot the Mask-Rejecters!

The video below shows excerpts from an entertaining piece of Corona street theater in Germany. Oz-Rita, who translated the clip for subtitles, includes these introductory notes:

This is a “Wake-Up Flash Mob” in the German city of Cottbus. The conceit is that the players are addressing prayers of supplication to the German Core Totalitarian team.

“Söder” refers to Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder, whose party (the CSU) is the Bavarian Siamese twin of Angela Merkel’s CDU. Mr. Söder is rumored to have ambitions to become the next Chancellor. His totalitarian COVID measures are the worst in Germany — he wants to out-Nazi the Nazis.

Jens Spahn (CDU) is the gay Federal Health Minister. The recent Ermächtigungsgesetz hustled through the Bundestag the other day faster than they used to drive wild pigs through the villages — a law very like the 1933 Hitler law —gives unlimited powers over the people (including the right to enter homes) to Merkel and those whom she designates — e.g. Spahn. (He and his husband just bought a residence worth several million euros, while people are losing their jobs.)

Christian Drosten is the Chief Virologist who had his hands in the PCR test that is now considered discredited by everyone of even mild intelligence. He was the Angela Merkel’s Poster Boy (having previously been involved in the scandal surrounding the Swine Flu) and his “prestige” is fast disappearing.

Mujahid Targeted Catholic Youth Group in Vienna

Posted on by

The article below provides an interesting follow-up to the November 2 Islamic terror attack in Vienna. According to the latest news from the investigation, Kujtim Fejzulai, the Islamic State mujahid who carried out the attack, intended (but failed) to cause carnage during the prayer service of a youth group in a Catholic church.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from the Kronen Zeitung:

Terrorist had Catholic Youth Group in Sights

The background of attack warnings on local churches is frightening: Because the ISIS-killer wanted to cause a bloodbath during an evening prayer of the Catholic Youth group in the Ruprecht Church on the night of terror in Vienna. The Islamist failed to get through the closed door, however, due to a timer lock…

As reported, Interior Minister Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) in connection with Advent and the Christmas season, strengthened the protection of local churches. The details behind the security alarm are — despite the silence of the prosecutor’s office — shocking: Because, according to Krone’s investigation, 17 children specifically the Catholic Youth Group, escaped catastrophe by a hair!

Terrorist wanted to cause a massacre in the church

While they were holding a non-public prayer hour in the Ruprecht Church in the heart of Vienna, the ISIS killer wanted to break in with an assault rifle and pistols. However, he failed— due to a time-locked entrance. Seconds later, the attacker was “taken out” with one shot by WEGA agents in front of the oldest church in the city. The “Investigative Group 2 November” interviewed the shocked women and children.

Meanwhile, it has been announced that the interim report of the Commission on the possible breakdowns investigated by anti-terror forces will be made public before Christmas.

Archdiocese spokesman: “You reacted with presence of mind”

The spokesman of the Vienna Archdiocese, Michael Prüller, on Friday afternoon, described the situation on the evening of the terror attack. The 17 youths escaped the attacker by turning off the lights when the first shots were fired. “You reacted with presence of mind and hid,” Prüller further reported. The youths stayed hidden in the darkness until 2:30 am on Tuesday. Then the police gave the all-clear so that the 17 girls and boys could go home.

Paul Weston on Mass Testing and the New Lockdown in the UK

Posted on by

In his latest video, Paul Weston discusses a new COVID-19 test which has been used to mass-test 100,000 people in Liverpool.

Until I watched this video, I hadn’t heard of the lateral flow test, which is also called a “lateral flow immunochromatographic assay”. According to an article from November 11 on the official website of Oxford University:

Extensive clinical evaluation from Public Health England and the University of Oxford show Lateral Flow Tests are accurate and sensitive enough to be used in the community, including for asymptomatic people.

Since then the lateral flow test has been touted by Her Majesty’s Caudillo, Boris “BoJo” Johnson. As Mr. Weston points out, the hoopla surrounding the new test has all but vanished since the tested Liverpudlians yielded such a disappointingly low number of positive “cases”. Thus, if BoJo is going to walk back the lateral flow test, he’ll have to do so over all those glowing recommendations for it. Perhaps the boffins at Oxford will make themselves obligingly prostrate when the boot heels of the Prime Minister go a-wandering their way…

The State-Sponsored Torture of Our Children

The following article describes a protest by school students in Germany against the collective madness that has supplanted any vestige of rationality in the measures taken to mitigate the spread of the Wuhan Coronavirus.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from JournalistenWatch:

Freezing and starving students, mask terror: Entire high school goes on Corona strike

At last, there are student demos in Germany that have a specific and very immediate purpose and are absolutely justified, in contrast to ideological climate FFF [Fridays for Future] or “anti-racism” BLM protests: In Bremerhaven, a large part of the high school students went on strike, because of the insane decrees bordering on child abuse that force them to be taught at 0° [32°F] with open windows.

The youth rebelled. With this clientele of demonstrators, even die-hard Coronazis and agitators of the left-green mainstream press will now find it difficult to lump all of them into the camp of conspiracy theorists, “covidiots”, right-wing extremists or Querdenker [lateral thinkers] — because this is where the very immediate victims of this collective psychosis demonstrate.

“We are cold, hungry and have a headache,” the students chant.

709 high school students from the Carl von Ossietzky school center in Bremerhaven went on a Corona strike. The students are furious, and complain that many children and adolescents are now depressed. In the classroom they freeze as a result of the ventilation, many get sick (and can then be suspected of being potential Corona cases), and almost nobody can still write by hand because of stiff fingers. Concentrating on the subject matter is practically impossible.

As Bild reports, the headmaster has bought his students 30 blankets out of pity, which he gives to those that suffer heavily from the cold. He, too, says resignedly: “The conditions are unbearable.”

People who wear glasses with masks constantly fog up their glasses; many students complain of headaches from wearing masks for long periods of time, and they feel tired and dull.

Child abuse and lunatic measures

In addition, the cafeteria is closed to high school students, which means that at lunchtime and in the free hours, many students huddle together in the nearby supermarket, accompanied by the risk of infection.

Also at the bus stops and in the school buses there can be no question of keeping your “social distance” — the Bremerhaven school center is visited by 4,000 pupils every day, according to Bild.

Statue of Madonna Decapitated Near Venice

Palestinian, 31, charged with offending religion

(ANSA) — VENICE, 26 NOV — A statue of the Madonna at Marghera near Venice had its head and hands lopped off overnight, police aid Thursday.

A 31-year-old Palestinian has been arrested on charges of defacing the statue after being caught on CCTV.

He has been charged with “offending a religious faith via damaging property”.

Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro issued a firm condemnation of a “cowardly act, aimed at wounding our sensibilities”.

The Palestinian is a regular immigrant with a refugee travel document issued by Belgium, police said.
