Fourth Afghan arrested in London in connection with the rape and murder of 13-year-old Leonie from Vienna – It is suspected that he crossed the English Channel to England in an rubber dinghy
The Afghan suspect, who had been on the run since the violent death of little Leonie, has now been tracked down. The 22-year-old wanted man was tracked down in a neighbourhood where the Afghan community is strongly represented.
After the arrest of a third suspect (also an Afghan) in connection with the violent death of Leonie in the Vienna district of Donaustadt, the search for the fourth suspect was in full swing. It is still unclear how the Afghan came to London.
There is a possibility that he crossed the English Channel in an rubber dinghy as part of the illegal entry effort.

France: Two Afghans arrested for sexually assaulting woman and stabbing ex-boyfriend who protected her
Authorities in the French city of Rennes have arrested two military-aged men from Afghanistan after the pair allegedly sexually assaulted a woman and stabbed her ex-boyfriend who selflessly stepped in to protect her.
The two suspects, aged 19 and 25, both of whom were born in Afghanistan, were arrested last week in Rennes, the capital city of Brittany, in Northwest France. The men are suspected of having stabbed the man near the metro station after sexually assaulting his ex-girlfriend, the daily newspaper Ouest-France reports.
The attack unfolded at around midnight on July 10th, when the male suspects accosted the woman and grabbed her buttocks near the Charles-de-Gaulle metro station. The male victim, after stepping in to protect his girlfriend, was then stabbed multiple times in the back, causing him to temporarily lose consciousness.
“As they fled, the 40-year-old victim realized he was losing blood and had a wound in his lower back,” public prosecutor Philippe Astruc explained. “The emergency services took care of him and the bleeding was stopped.”
“A kidney wound was clearly evident,” Astruc added.
After being transported to the local hospital by emergency services, the male victim then underwent emergency surgery to treat the multiple stab wounds that he had received during the attack.
French authorities have since launched an official investigation into the criminal act. Until the trial, which is set to begin on September 20th, the two suspects will remain in police custody.
Since the beginning of the migrant crisis in 2015, Afghan migrants have been vastly overrepresented in crime data recorded, compiled, and released by police, non-profits, and government agencies.
As Remix News reported last October, Afghan migrants living in Germany were the third most common suspects for violent crimes in 2019, making up 7.5 percent of all perpetrators suspected of having committed violent crimes in the country, according to data from the German Federal Ministry of the Interior.
At the end of last month, two Afghan migrants, aged 16 and 18, who prosecutors believe were involved in the brutal murder of a 13-year-old girl in Vienna, were arrested by Austrian police. Investigators confirmed that the two men drugged the girl and raped her repeatedly, before going on to murder her. Prior to the rape and murder, the 18-year-old suspect, who first arrived in Austria in 2015 at the height of the migrant crisis, had been known to police. Despite being convicted for various criminal offenses in 2017, he was never imprisoned or deported.
The case, which sparked widespread outrage across the country, prompted Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz to announce that current deportation rates of Afghan migrants would be maintained by the government and that asylum laws wouldn’t be relaxed to accommodate more migrants.
“We will not stop deportations to Afghanistan, and we will not ease the asylum law,” the 34-year-old Austrian Chancellor said, adding that the migrants who commit crimes in Austria “should not be supported in the name of false tolerance, but should be deported as soon as possible.”

The West is a featherweight
by Giulio Meotti
This year, three men who define themselves as women will compete at the Olympic Games and three truly women will have to watch the Games on television. This is how it works in the new Western “inclusion” that has obliterated biological sex. A Canadian athlete, an American and a New Zealander, to be precise.Three countries competing in Tokyo and which have just withdrawn from Afghanistan. General Austin Scott Miller, commander of the American troops and NATO in Afghanistan, has just confessed: “It is as if we had never been there … We came, we saw, we left no trace …”. But something the West has left on the ground: the betrayal of Afghan women.
“Women cannot sing,” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid now declares. Afghanistan has just recalled its ambassador and all diplomats from Pakistan after the kidnapping and torture of the envoy’s daughter. Silsila Alikhil, 26, daughter of Najibullah Alikhil, was kidnapped in Islamabad on her way home. She was badly beaten and tortured.
The assault came after Kabul allegations that Pakistan threatens to shoot down Afghan jets attacking the Taliban. The Afghan ambassador to the United States is afraid to return to her homeland, the Telegraph revealed. Afghan female journalists are hiding, writes the Times. “Forced marriages and sexual slavery”: is the Foreign Policy investigation into what awaits women after the Western withdrawal.
Phyllis Chesler, writing on IPT and Arutz Sheva, has called for the world to save Afghan women, especially those who fought for equal rights and whose lives are now on the line..
When the Taliban raided an Afghan district this month, they terrorized residents and ransacked businesses, but then they did something even more troubling: they asked for the names and ages of girls and women who they would marry the fighters. They forced the residents to show them the closets with their clothes to determine the age of the girls and women who lived there. Terrified women packed their bags, rented cars and freight wagons, or simply set out to escape their worst nightmare: being kidnapped and forced into sexual slavery by the Taliban. They regard women as “kaniz” or commodities, and as “qhanimat”, the spoils of war.
And all of this is happening for one reason only: “The West has betrayed Afghan women,” writes Shabnam Nasimi in the Daily Telegraph. “Afghanistan: the West’s route”, headlines Le Point on the cover. The Taliban have resumed stoning women. “If you are married and commit adultery, you must be stoned,” Mullah Maulavi Inayatullah Baleegh said during a sermon at the Pul-e Khishti mosque, the largest in Kabul.
And while the glitterati of “inclusion” are jubilant for Tokyo’s transgender craze, the Taliban was spreading a fatwa: “We want all girls over 15 and widows under 45”.
The West is a featherweight.

Australian police form ‘task force’ to track down anti-Covid demonstrators
Following the large-scale demonstrations against Corona restrictions, the police in the state of New South Wales have set up a task force with the aim of tracking down all those who took part in the protests.
The state’s Minister of Police, David Elliott, announced today that at least 22 “veteran detectives” have been assigned to be part of the task force.
New South Wales is Australia’s most populous state, including the city of Sydney.
On Saturday, July 24, thousands of people in all major Australian cities demonstrated against the draconian restrictions. The police have promised to combat this “filthy, disgusting and selfish” behavior. Although all demonstrations were banned by the Sydney authorities due to the complete closure of the entire state, 3500 people defied the ban and took to the streets. The peaceful protesters were met by police cavalry, batons and pepper spray. Dozens were arrested. The following day, 510 fines had been issued.
David Elliot warned everyone who intends to demonstrate again next Saturday: “To all those who urge to repeat this next week, beware, because these 400 police can be 4000 if needed.”
Similar protests – and similar police violence – were reported from Melbourne and Brisbane.
Police are urging the public to submit photos and videos from the demonstrations in order to identify more participants in the freedom demonstrations. New South Wales Home Secretary Gladys Berejiklian also said she was “completely disgusted” by the freedom demonstrations and urged anyone who recognized anyone from the demonstrations to report them to the police without delay.
A total of three states with more than half of Australia’s population are now completely shut down, with all people ordered to stay at home with the threat of heavy fines. You are only allowed to leave the home to buy food and other necessities, for medical care, exercise for a maximum of 90 minutes a day within 2,5 kilometers of the home, or for “necessary” work.
When New South Wales introduced a total shutdown of the community in mid-June, registering some cases of the alleged Delta variant, the state’s Health Minister Brad Hazzard announced that those who violated the restrictions would be fined $ 11 000 per person or six months’ imprisonment.
Hazzard said NSW police have “all sorts of technology” to track even vehicle number plates. “I also remind the community that the regional communities are very aware when they see someone from out of town arrive and they‘ll make sure that the police know.”
On Sunday, July 25, the authorities reported two more deaths “with” Covid-19, which means that a total of 11 people across the continent have died with the disease since October last year, most in the past month. One of the shutdown states is Victoria, which reported 0 deaths since November last year, but 11 new positive PCR tests on Sunday. The state of South Australia closed down after registering 5 new cases, four of which were in the same cluster.
Meanwhile, the editor for the Daily Mail Australia, Barclay Crawford, has been outed as a vaccine propagandist. A leaked video shows Crawford instructing his staff to ridicule “anti-vaxxers”.
“You’re all champions,” Crawford tells his underlings on the video. “We’ll keep trying to run stories that are, um, call out the ‘anti-vax’ weirdos and, and point out why, why we need to get it and why it’s important, you know, and why we don’t want Australia regressing to some, you know, the reason why we have medicine and medical science is for things like this and it’s amazing, and should be celebrated and not run down.”
France: The mayor of Albertville withdraws the building permit for a school granted to the Islamist association Millî Görüs
As reported by the newspaper Le Figaro on Wednesday July 28, Frédéric Burnier Framboret (DVD), the mayor of Albertville, announced that he was withdrawing the building permit he had reluctantly granted for the construction of a Muslim school in his Savoyard municipality. This project, which is supported by the Islamic organisation Millî Görüs and whose plan has been underway since 2019, was rejected by the mayor. But on April 6, the Grenoble Administrative Court ruled that the mayor must confirm the building permit for the facility, which will house 400 students.
The mayor of the town of 20,000 inhabitants accuses Millî Görüs of being close to the Turkish government. Frédéric Burnier Framboret had declared in a newspaper article that he was “unable” to oppose the establishment of associations or societies controlled by foreign powers that promote a tendency to crystallise a particular identity in the heart of our territories. According to Le Figaro, the people’s representative explained that the municipality had appealed the decision to the Lyon administrative court and could count on the prefect of Savoie, who described the project as “separatist”. Engin Seller, the local representative of the Millî Görüs, vowed not to set up a “confessional school, like the Catholics or the Jews”.
Covid rampant among fully vaccinated sailors on Britain’s new aircraft carrier
The new aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth has more than 100 sailors on board with Covid-19 even though all of them have had two jabs. The Royal Navy announced the outbreak during the Carrier Strike Group’s maiden voyage in a statement.
Some 100 sailors tested positive for the virus despite being fully vaccinated. “There has been a Coronavirus outbreak in the Carrier Strike Group (CSG) which includes the Royal Navy flagship HMS Queen Elizabeth, it has been confirmed,” according to the London Evening Standard.
“The aircraft carrier is about a quarter of the way through a 28-week deployment leading the CSG, which includes a US destroyer and 10 Marine Corps F35-B fighters, and is currently in the Indo-Pacific.”
The Royal Navy also admitted that their sailors had received both doses of the Covid vaccine. They have now taken “mitigation measures” on board by introducing masks, social distancing and a track and trace system – measures usually reserved for the unvaccinated.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s administration nevertheless wants to introduce mandatory jabs in order to force citizens into accepting a health passport. This would be the only way to participate freely in society — suggesting that the unvaccinated would in future live as second-class subjects.
On Twitter, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention meanwhile continue to claim that vaccines work while recommending masks for the vaccinated. Shredding her trustworthiness, CDC director Michelle Walensky blamed the spread of the virus on the unvaccinated. She also told CNN this week that vaccine passports would be required in the United States soon, following their implementation in Europe.
Globalist Pope Francis: Suppressing the Heritage of the Catholic Church
The radical handwriting was on the wall the moment Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Cardinal-Archbishop of Buenos Aires, was elected to the papacy in 2013.
At his first address to the crowds in St. Peter’s Square as Francis I, he had refused to wear the papal mozzetta. This seemingly insignificant break with tradition was the first red flag signaling that the new Bishop of Rome was a modernist. The second red flag occurred during Francis’ inaugural Mass. At that Mass, Francis’ vestments were noticeably plain. Not just plain, but ostentatiously plain. His white miter, decorated with a simple red cross, matched the miter he wore when officiating at puppet and Tango Masses in Argentina. Kneeling among Armenian rite bishops in their bejeweled tall miters during a prayer service before the crypt of St. Peter, Francis seemed to be making a show of his preference for “simplicity.”
The new pope very quickly won the world’s admiration when it was reported that he paid his own hotel bill after the conclusion of the papal conclave. Non-Catholics who never noticed a pope before were now paying strict attention. Many saw Francis’ emphasis on simplicity as a saintly attribute, especially when he chose not to live in the papal palace but in the Vatican apartments. He was very quickly dubbed the “People’s Pope.”
In 2014, the “People’s Pope” fired Colonel Daniel Rudolf Anrig, 42, head of the Swiss Guards, “for being overly strict and autocratic.” Reports stated how the pope ordered a Swiss Guard who had been standing outside his apartment all night to sit down. When the guard said it was against orders, Francis replied, “I give the orders around here!” and then promptly went out to get the guard a cup of coffee.
Paying your own hotel bill and getting an overworked Swiss Guard a cup of coffee are ‘feel good’ stories that make up only a small part of this immensely complicated man.
Ironically, over time Francis would prove to be as authoritarian as the head of the Swiss Guard whom he fired and replaced. That authoritarianism would manifest itself slowly at first, finally climaxing in his July 16, 2021 Motu Proprio restricting the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass, the ancient liturgy of the Roman rite that was replaced by a more Protestant-friendly service in 1970 after the Second Vatican Council.
It is not unheard of for a pope to get involved in political issues. Pope John Paul II’s alliance with Poland’s Lech Walesa, founder of the Solidarity movement, did much to end Communism there. Pope Benedict XVI was outspoken on the dangers of Islam and even had a private meeting with Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci, author of the bestseller, “The Rage and The Pride,” before her death in 2006. Francis got heavily political when he told reporters in 2015 that Donald Trump was “not Christian” because he had plans to build a wall along the border with Mexico to keep out illegal aliens. In response, Trump, according to Politico, “thundered back in a lengthy statement, declaring that, ‘For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful.’” Trump also added that if the Vatican was ever attacked by the Islamic State, Francis would wish that he were president.
When President Trump visited Francis in the Vatican the media was rife with interpretations of the pope’s movements during the meeting. Every gesture from the pope, from a simple head scratch to a momentary glance at the floor, was read as a sign of his disapproval of Trump. Suddenly every activist cub reporter had become a body language expert.
Francis’ predecessor, Benedict XVI, was at one time one of the progressive architects of the Second Vatican Council (where he appeared in photo ops wearing a necktie) but became conservative towards the end of his pontificate, issuing his famous Summorum Pontificum in July 2007 which brought new life to the Traditional Latin Mass by giving permission to Catholic priests to celebrate it without the permission of a bishop.
The fever of reform generated by the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s replaced the old Mass with guitar Masses, sappy sentimental hymns, altar girls in flip flops and Mrs. Broadbent from the church choir handing out the Eucharist instead of the priest. Catholic Church architecture also took a nose dive at this time, with high altars, statues and mosaics removed from churches and replaced by table altars (Julie Child’s table) and baptismal fonts that resembled Las Vegas hotel hot tubs. The new Mass, or the Novus Ordo, was specifically designed to make the Mass less mystical and more Protestant-friendly.
Bergoglio, the Jesuit from Argentina, has always had a hatred of Tradition and the Traditional Latin Mass.
When Benedict XVI issued his Summorum Pontifum facilitating the TLM, Bergoglio would allow it in one parish but the hour he chose when it could be celebrated was usually a time when people did not like going to Mass. Celebrants for the TLM were chosen by Bergoglio but these priests generally did not like the Old Mass at all. He also imposed many restrictions on the manner in which the Mass could be celebrated. The good Jesuit disobeyed the spirit, if not the letter, of Pope Benedict’s Motu Propio.
Francis waited eight years before making a move against the TLM as head of the Catholic Church. During those years his focus was on navigating the sometimes slippery waters of Church teachings that are both liberal and conservative. Siding with the poor, illegal aliens, supporting economic equity and condemning capital punishment comes from the same Church that condemns abortion, birth control and sex outside of marriage. But Francis, the ever savvy Jesuit, had a knack for injecting a bit of ambiguity when he reflected on or talked about the Church’s most orthodox doctrines, causing many Catholics to ask, “What does Pope Francis really believe?”
In the political realm, the pope’s leftist progressive beliefs were best exhibited during a speech before Congress in 2015. “In these times when social concerns are so important,” Francis said, “I cannot fail to mention the Servant of God Dorothy Day, who founded the Catholic Worker Movement. Her social activism, her passion for justice and for the cause of the oppressed, were inspired by the Gospel, her faith, and the example of the saints.”
The Catholic Worker Movement, founded in 1933 during the Great Depression, began with an emphasis on feeding the hungry and giving shelter to the homeless. Day (1897 – 1980) was a journalist and social activist who converted to Catholicism while keeping her anarchist beliefs. Today, the Catholic Worker movement has gone way beyond the vision of Day, who as a strict Catholic would not recognize the movement’s embrace of illicitly ordained women priests and the celebration of the Mass at movement houses by anyone called to do so.
Before the 2020 election, Pope Francis did everything but give his apostolic blessing to the Biden campaign. Biden, who claims to be a devout Catholic and who is said to carry a rosary in his pocket, supports abortion on demand and has been criticized by many U.S. Catholic bishops for his views. In June 2021, The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops voted to draft a statement on the meaning of communion, and whether President Biden and other politicians should be denied the rite based on their public stand on abortion.
“We are not accustomed to a hearing from a pope, a month before Election Day, who criticizes “myopic, extremist, resentful and aggressive nationalism,” and castigates those who, through their actions, cast immigrants as “less worthy, less important, less human.” The Washington Post reported in Oct 2020
Pope Francis has charged headlong into a variety of issues, including migration, climate change and economic equality. His June 2015 environmental encyclical “Laudato Si’ ” called for a radical reduction in the use of fossil fuels.
Francis’s first big liturgical scandal occurred in October 2019 during the so called Synod on the Amazon when statuettes of an idol representing the Mother Earth goddess, or Pachamama, were venerated in St. Peter’s Basilica. During the ceremonies there was a dancing procession of Pachamama where people prostrated themselves before the two wooden statues that represented naked and pregnant women and a statue of a male phallic figure reclining on his back. The event was meant to symbolize “the cry of the Amazonian land and native peoples.” When the figures were stored at the church at Traspontina, an Austrian Catholic activist, Alexander Tschugguel, took the idols and threw them into the Tiber.
Francis later apologized for the incident.
In 2017, a group of Catholic scholars and priests wrote an open letter to the College of Bishops accusing Pope Francis of heresy.
Things were getting dicey but Francis continued to talk about the building of a “global human common good.” Francis was by now an irrepressible populist or, as one critic put it, “the globetrotting do-gooder CEO of Catholicism.” At a Mass in St. Peter’s Square in September 2019 celebrating World Day of Migrants and Refugees, he said, “Loving our neighbor as ourselves means being firmly committed to building a more just world, in which everyone has access to the goods of the earth, in which all can develop as individuals and as families, and in which fundamental rights and dignity are guaranteed to all.” In January 2021, Pope Francis’ elaborated on his thoughts and called for open borders when he wrote that nations had an obligation “to welcome, promote, protect, and integrate those who come in search of better lives for themselves and their families.”
Ironically, the Catechism of the Catholic Church has always defended the right of countries to limit immigrants. The Catechism, in fact, also states that migrants must respect the host country and assimilate.
When Bergoglio was elected pope he predicted that his papacy would not be a long one but that prediction has obviously fizzled out. The longer Francis’ reign goes on, the more damage he seems to create. On July 16, 2021, he committed what many Catholic Traditionalists have called an act of violence against the Church when he restricted the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass.
Under Francis’ new guidelines, a priest wanting to celebrate the ancient rite must first ask his bishop for permission, after which the bishop must seek permission from Rome. Since the beginning of his papacy Francis has appointed only progressive bishops and cardinals. This guarantees a difficult path when it comes to TLM permission slips.
You Tube Catholic commentators like Taylor Marshall, Timothy Gordon, Michael Matt, Mother Meriam, Dr. Robert Moynihan and many others spent days trying to make sense of the pope’s anti Latin Mass Motu Proprio. The blunt and at times nasty sounding document is a much harsher rekindling of what Bergoglio did to the Latin Mass communities in Buenos Aires. Jay Dyer, a Traditional Catholic who went over to the Orthodox Church (where Tradition is not subject to fashion) predicted that many Traditional Catholics would enter the Orthodox Church as a result of Francis’ invective.
Francis’ act of activist violence against Traditional Catholics has had a ripple effect. As of this writing those reactions are still building and many observers see it as the pope’s last straw. Francis, they say, has met the ultime de la résistance, the Latin Mass communities throughout the world with their flourishing, full seminaries and convents and packed-to-the-gills parishes, a stark contrast to the empty pews in the modernist wing of the Pachamama church with its altar girls in flip flops and pony tails.
