France: Corsican freedom fighter Yvan Colonna was the victim of an Islamist-motivated murder in prison for making negative remarks about the “Prophet”
Franck Elong Abé, the alleged attacker of Yvan Colonna, who has been described as rather “silent” since the beginning of his police custody, is said to have finally started to talk: to investigators on Thursday afternoon, he explained his crime with a “blasphemy” of the Corsican activist who had “spoken badly about the Prophet”. The day before, the 36-year-old Cameroonian, convicted of “criminal association in preparation of an act of terrorism” and imprisoned in Arles prison, had brutally attacked his fellow inmate Yvan Colonna when they were alone in a gym.(…)Libération
The Corsican independence movement activist was still in a coma in Marseille on Thursday morning and was in a stable condition, according to his lawyer Patrice Spinosi, who is also the Colonna family’s lawyer.
The day after the violent attack in Arles prison that put Yvan Colonna in a coma, the anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office announced it would take over the investigation. The activist, sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of prefect Claude Erignac, was the victim on Wednesday of “strangulation with bare hands followed by suffocation” while he was doing strength training on his own, according to Tarascon prosecutor Laurent Gumbau.BFMTV
According to our information, the suspect for the attack on the murderer of Prefect Erignac on March 2 had provoked several serious incidents in other prisons. An investigation was opened for “attempted murder”.
The family of Yvan Colonna expressed “their anger and incomprehension” in a statement circulated by their lawyer Patrice Spinosi on Wednesday evening. “She wants to hold the state accountable for the murderous attack to which he fell victim. How could such a “particularly conspicuous” inmate be so brutally attacked by a fellow inmate? Where were the guards whose job it was to prevent such attacks?” the statement continues.
The news caused horror at the head of the prison administration and led to an emergency meeting attended, among others, by Naoufel Gaied, head of the mission to combat violent radicalisation in the prison administration. Aside from the personality of the victim, an independence activist convicted of murder and considered a model prisoner since his incarceration in July 2003, the personality of the attacker raises at least as many questions as the circumstances of the attack and his prison record, which has been rather chaotic to say the least.Le Monde
A report on the flight: Rapes perpetrated by Arab, black African asylum seekers – Ukrainian authorities ‘abandon’ women in no man’s land
The interview was conducted by our Hungarian correspondent Elmar Forster
Why did you flee Ukraine?
We fled because it became absolutely life-threatening for me and my two children from the second half of last week. There is a military airport in my home town. Soldiers were transferred there for years. The airport is only a few kilometres away from our home. It was destroyed by some guided missiles on Thursday morning. The impact of the missiles made the earth shake. We witnessed the missiles as if they had hit directly in our front garden. At the same time, Belarusian troops with tanks arrived at the borders of our town.
Why did you flee to Austria?
We fled to Austria because relatives live here and we are safe and cared for here. However, the decision was not easy , as my son goes to school in Ukraine and my daughter is studying at the university. I was also involved in the care of my grandmother, which can now only be managed by my mother and my aunt. I am very worried about my parents and relatives.
How did you experience the escape? When did you make the decision to flee?
The escape was an ordeal. A relative brought us by car as close as possible to the Polish border. However, he was turned back by Ukrainian law enforcement officers far before the border, as men fit for military service are not allowed to leave the country. So we were “abandoned” and had to walk a long distance, probably about 30 kilometres. We were on the road for two days and of course had to get rid of all our luggage.On the way, we encountered many women, some of them very exhausted, some of them collapsing because they had to carry small children, some even babies in diapers. We helped them as much as we could. During the march we had nothing to drink. We were therefore pleased when we finally crossed the Polish border without any problems, where we were immediately welcomed very warmly and given the best first aid. Many thanks to our Christian Polish friends and neighbours!
The Selinskyi government distributed weapons among the civilian population… Was this action useful or is it not even dangerous for internal security?
The distribution of arms to the civilian population was correct and very effective. Without this measure, the defense of Kyiv and other cities would have collapsed long ago. Putin had imagined a blitzkrieg – a complete misjudgment! In his February 21 speech, he insulted and challenged every single Ukrainian. He is now getting his comeuppance. Ukraine will not be conquered in this way. Internal security has been destroyed by the Russian elite’s attack. It has turned Ukraine into a field of ruins. But the Russians have not managed to turn the brother nations of Ukrainians and Russians into enemies. In any case, self-defence is always legitimate!
Reports are beginning to leak out to the West that the Ukraine crisis is also being misused by Arab and African refugees as freeloader…
Unfortunately, the horror stories about the behavior of some Muslim refugees are true. I’ve experienced it myself: On our flight we met larger troops of Syrian, Maghreb, black African young men . They were admitted to the Ukraine after 2015 , received a scholarship for the universities of Kiev, Kharkov and Liviv/Lemberg and were cared for by the Ukraine for years.
As we fled, we encountered a group of such men. They insulted us as infidel sluts, unclean creatures, and “riffraff cursed by Allah”…Then they confronted us while doing so. As we were not impressed, some of them opened their trousers and announced that they wanted to rape us. We, the women, clasped each other so that none could be torn out and separated. I was scared to death, the children screamed – but we managed, thank God, to put our attackers to flight.
We are grateful to be warmly welcomed in Austria. We will certainly work diligently where we can. Natalia
Murder of Yvan Colonna: Imagine a Gaul in our Islamised prisons
So, the Corsican nationalist Yvan Colonna, sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Prefect Erignac, was massacred in prison during a walk by an Islamist, who, by the way, was born in France, who allegedly attacked and strangled him.
In a context where Macron, in his solemn declaration to the French people, announces that he wants to wage war against Putin to protect the French, one notes that this regime is incapable of guaranteeing the safety of our compatriots, whether on the streets or in our prisons.
Imagine the reality of the daily life of a Gaul who finds himself isolated in prisons where 70% of the inmates are Muslims…

Germany Retakes Center Stage in Europe
By Fay Voshell
Tyler Durdin’s recent article in Zero Hedge describes the incredible capacities of the FGM-148 Javelin, which is an American-made anti-tank weapon. The weapon has been nicknamed “St. Javelin.” Its success is described in almost giddy terms, in ways teenagers talk about video games as they select weapons that will provide sure kill shots. Ukraine seems to provide an expedient and seemingly safe place for the United States and other countries to try out their most sophisticated weapons, including the Javelin.
One is reminded of the Spanish civil war. During that deadly internal struggle Spain proved a useful testing ground for Italy’s and Germany’s advanced weaponry and strategies. Among other things, the war proved to be both a proxy and a catalyst for the larger battles to come.
As Spain was during the 1930s, Ukraine is deeply divided internally, with the Eastern section oriented toward Russia and the Western section leaning toward Europe. Western nations seem to be interested in supplying advanced armaments to the West-leaning Ukrainians, much as Germany and Russia sent military hardware to their preferred political faction fighting in Spain.
Most importantly, as they were in pre-WWII Spain, the battles currently raging in Ukraine are indicators of massive struggles ahead as the world powers realign themselves into massive power blocs. The struggle augers realignment of the military and economic world order established after WWII and beyond.
Germany appears to be a few steps ahead in the ongoing global chess match.
As a chief player in the European arena, Germany may be using the crisis in the Ukraine to its advantage, seizing the opportunity to rearm without attracting the suspicion or calumny of the world — which it almost assuredly would if it acted solo and did not rearm under the EU umbrella.
It is doubtful Germany is rearming purely for the sake of NATO, which is presently disoriented because of the Biden administration’s inability to lead. Germany also is probably not interested in bolstering the strength of the European Union’s weaker and more vulnerable nations. But it may be interested in bolstering the strength of the European Union’s structure in order to reinforce its already considerable strength in the EU, which has long toyed with the idea of establishing a military presence. In fact, the organization has more than hinted it wishes to develop a military presence free of the influence of the United States. Italy and France have welcomed the idea.
But there are reasons to consider Germany as the most influential nation in the EU.
Germany’s contributions to the budget of the European Union consistently have been greater than any other member nation. Germany is the fourth largest economy in the world and the largest economy in Europe. It has many natural resources and a fortuitous geographical location. Adding to its formidable economic and geographical advantages, especially after successful reunification dating from 1989, are the famed German discipline and engineering capacities, both of which are in no way diminished.
One can scarcely blame Germany for thinking about its national welfare in terms of its powerful position within the EU, especially in view of the erratic and feckless actions of the Biden administration.
The Biden administration has been humiliatingly revealed as good at posturing, but as being all sound and no fury. Despite his blustering affectations, Biden has been revealed as weak and irresolute.
Biden’s dismal reputation is well earned in view of the disastrous events in Afghanistan and his confused and fragmented responses to the situation in the Ukraine. He also has been preoccupied with domestic policies aimed at steering the United States in a leftward direction. His wrecking ball agenda for America and his erratic and disastrous foreign policy maneuvers have been met with serious resistance from a recalcitrant and increasingly irritable American public.
A more resolute Germany could see its powerful position in the EU as a vehicle for expansion of its influence economically andmilitarily. By bolstering its military presence and increasing its already dominant position in the EU, the EU could become a substitute for NATO. With NATO pushed to the side, the United States’ influence in Europe would be diminished, perhaps irrevocably.
In a recent interview on YouTube, Nigel Farage outlines the core problems for NATO presented by the crisis in Ukraine. He sees the EU’s and NATO’s unreasonable expansionism as having led to the crisis of 2014, in which the Ukrainian government collapsed. He adds that the European Union funded the revolution of 2014. There is, then, a reason Zelinskyy is pleading for entrance into the EU, as he is indebted to the organization.
Farage pointed out the fact that NATO had made promises not to expand. But it did expand, and Russia was provoked. No one listened to Russia’s concerns about having NATO and its missiles parked on what Putin called Russia’s “front porch.” He added that Russia has had historic concerns about having a buffer state in order to prevent invasions like those of Napoleon and Hitler. The West should have listened and guaranteed Ukraine would not become a NATO member. In brief, while Putin’s current actions are not justified, there are underlying reasons for the Russian response.
Farage believes that if the West does not defend NATO, “the West is finished as a cohesive unit.” NATO, he says, is nothing without America. Unfortunately, ever since the Afghanistan debacle, there’s been a question, “Does America want to lead the western world now or don’t they?”
His question is perfectly legitimate. The catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan left a vacuum and raised serious questions about America’s international leadership, including America’s leadership of NATO. Perhaps America doesn’t want to lead the West, including Europe. But if it creates a power vacuum others will step in.
Germany may be stepping into the gap, using the EU as the organization as a platform from which it can lead Europe without resorting to NATO. Europe may become a cohesive unit without the United States.
Whatever Germany’s continuing role in Europe and the EU, it is clear the post-WWII European order once dominated by the United States will continue to be challenged by Germany and the EU, which may become the alternative to NATO.
What seems clear is that Germany has once again taken center stage in Europe.
Europe may be forever changed.

German IS supporter handed over her 15-year-old son to the terrorist militia so he could die a martyr’s death
The German mother of a teenager killed in fighting in Syria is to be jailed for seven and a half years, according to the Federal Prosecutor’s Office. The 44-year-old from Bad Oldesloe was guilty of two counts of membership in a terrorist organisation abroad, representatives of the prosecution told the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court in Hamburg on Wednesday. She had first joined the Islamist militia Jund al-Aqsa in 2016 and then the Islamic State (IS) in Syria.
The accused had handed over her son, who was only 14 years old at the time, to the militias as a child soldier. In doing so, she committed a war crime under the International Criminal Code. She had also violated her duty of care and education by taking her son to a civil war zone. The boy had actively participated in fighting and had been in acute danger of his life on several occasions. On February 23, 2018, the boy, who was 15 years old by then, had been killed in a rocket attack. She had brought the boy into the IS territory, which is why the accused should also be convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
The father of the family – a native of Palestine – is said to have joined IS in Syria as a fighter as early as 2015. The parents had surrendered to Kurdish forces near the Iraqi border in February 2019. The man was sent to prison, the woman to a camp, from which she managed to escape to Turkey at the turn of 2020/21, according to the federal prosecutor’s office. On her return to Germany, she was arrested at the airport in Berlin on March 24 last year.
The accused had tried to present herself as a naïve wife who had only followed her husband, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office explained. He allegedly ran a falafel stand in Syria and was seriously injured in an attack. The accused had wanted to come to his aid. The representatives of the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office considered this explanation not credible.
In fact, the violent tendencies of the couple from 2013 onwards had also come from her. According to a witness, after the IS attacks in Paris in 2015, she had said that the victims deserved to die. She had told her son that it was important to humiliate and hate the infidels. From Syria, she had urged her older son in Germany to also come to the IS camp. He should be happy about the “martyrdom” of his younger brother. Even after the military defeat of the terrorist militia, she defended the Islamic State in a telephone conversation with her sister in 2020.
The Office of the Attorney General considered her personal details to be credible. According to this, she had grown up in Bad Oldesloe together with a sister and had completed secondary school. At the age of 15, she met her husband, converted to Islam and married. In 2015, her husband was sentenced to a one-year prison term in Germany and then left for Syria without telling his wife.

Board member of major German health insurer fired after revelations about jab side effects
FWM reported this week that a major German health insurer revealed that the number of side effects from the Covid-19 vaccines has been vastly underreported. BKK ProVita board member Andreas Schöfbeck spoke of an “alarming signal” and called for more research. But his honesty came with a hefty price tag.
Andreas Schöfbeck has estimated that in Germany up to 3 million people have been treated for side effects that occurred after the jab. This concerns 31 000 people who have died and 412 000 who experienced serious side effects, for which they had to go to hospital.
Through a data analysis, he revealed a substantial underreporting (91,8 percent), as data analyst Daniël van der Tuin pointed out on Twitter.
It remains to be seen whether any investigation will be forthcoming because Schöfbeck has been fired. He has been on the board of BKK ProVita for 21 years. He told the German newspaper Die Welt that he felt obliged to his policyholders. Schöfbeck has been stunned by the turn of events.
It would be “unethical not to release the data”, Schöfbeck told Die Welt.

France: Detained jihadist murders Corsican freedom fighter in prison
Yvan Colonna is in a critical condition (he has since died, editor’s note). The 61-year-old Colonna, sentenced to life imprisonment for the 1998 murder of Prefect Erignac in Corsica, was violently attacked by another inmate in Arles prison (Bouches-du-Rhône) on Wednesday March the 2nd. He was hospitalised and his life is in danger. Some sources told Le Figaro that the prisoner was “brain dead”. The attacker is said to be a 36-year-old jihadist prisoner.
The attack allegedly occurred on Wednesday morning in the prison’s gymnasium, where the two men were doing strength training. “The inmate Elong-Abe lunged at Yvan Colonna and choked him. The guards intervened very quickly and gave first aid. We don’t know the reasons for his crime, although the man is known to commit repeated offences in detention,” a prison source told Le Figaro. He added: “He’s a criminal profile that keeps coming up in French prisons and who, when he was handed over by the Americans to the French authorities in 2014, had just spent two years behind bars at the Bagram detention centre.”
Lawyers for the Erignac commando have been demanding for several months that the prisoners, who have been held in Borgo prison for 25 years for the murder of the prefect, be brought to Corsica. Yvan Colonna, who has always denied the crime, was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2007, to life imprisonment with a security detention of 22 years on appeal in 2009, and to life imprisonment (without security detention) a third time in 2011, after the appeal verdict was overturned by the Court of Cassation on a technicality.
