A 22-year-old student was stabbed to death in France by a homeless migrant from Cape Verde as she walked home from her part-time job, local media reported on Sunday.

The attack occurred on Sunday, Dec. 4, in the southern French village of Cabriès, just 20 kilometers north of Marseille, shortly after 9 p.m.

Fortune Kolagbe, a Togolese national who had been studying economics and business management at the Aix-Marseille University, had been walking from her part-time job at Burger King to the bus stop to head home to study for an exam.

According to La Provence newspaper, she was approached by the 26-year-old Cape Verdean homeless migrant who “suddenly stabbed her several times in the heart.” The victim fell to the floor, and despite the intervention of emergency services who had been alerted to the incident by nearby motorists, she died of her injuries.

The attacker reportedly remained in the vicinity and was spotted by French police with a bloody knife still in his hand. He was ordered to surrender and drop his weapon, which he “did without difficulty.”

French media report the migrant vagrant carried a Portuguese passport, and although he showed an ability to speak English when questioned, chose to remain silent behind an interpreter throughout his police interview.

He gave no explanation for the attack, and local public prosecutor, Jean-Luc Blachon, revealed that police were “completely unaware of any link” between the attacker and the victim.

French authorities confirmed that he was previously unknown to police but was subject to “multiple addictions and psychiatric disorders.”

Do you expect Santas, caroler and gingerbread men in the Lucia parade? Not at St Mary’s School (Mariehemsskolan) in Umeå. There it has been decided that the 40 or so children aged 7 to 10 who will take part in the Lucia procession will do without the traditional elements of a Lucia celebration. The reason for this is Muslim children who dropped out of last year’s celebration because their parents were uncomfortable with the connection between the celebration and Christmas.

The Lucia procession at Mariehems School will not include any religious elements. Instead, the Lucia celebration will be “gender neutral” and “inclusive” – but will not include the traditional elements of a Lucia celebration.

We are a non-denominational school and therefore decided to remove the Christmas elements, Jörgen Persson tells SVT.

Last year there were even more participants, but SVT reports that several students with “religious beliefs” other than Christianity cancelled during rehearsals.

Some parents did not agree with the children’s participation because Lucia is associated with Christmas. So this year we have made it clear that the event is not associated with any particular religious faith, says choir director Jörgen Persson.

Giving in to Muslim demands

In the post showing one of the rehearsals for this year’s watered-down “Lucia Festival”, a little girl is seen wearing the Muslim veil hijab.

We welcome the light in the darkness. We long for the light. We now have several Muslim children here in the choir who are also allowed to participate in the choir. Because both at school festivals and in the Lucia choir, they were not allowed to participate in performances. But now they are allowed to participate.

The children will also not sing the traditional Lucia songs. The choir director says that many children have been excluded over the years because Swedish schools focused so much on the Lucia festival and it was “so incredibly traditionally Christian”.

Last year, Canada’s euthanization program took the lives of more than 10,000 people. As we all know, communism is a philosophy of “despotic inroads”, and its adherents (Justin Trudeau and his government comrades) have an insatiable appetite for death and murder; they’re only just getting started.

According to Daily Mail report published last week:

Canada, a country that prides itself on its open-mindedness and tolerance, has the most permissive rules on euthanasia in the world – and the results have been frankly terrifying.

Last year, more than 10,000 people in Canada – astonishingly that’s over three percent of all deaths there – ended their lives via euthanasia, an increase of a third on the previous year. And it’s likely to keep rising: next year, Canada is set to allow people to die exclusively for mental health reasons.

Who knew that genocide rides in under the banner of “progress”? Furthermore, what a grotesque abdication of professional responsibility and duty. We’ve seen what a poisoned medical establishment looks like before — Nazi Germany being the prime example — and we’re seeing it now. The role of the physician is to heal not harm, and when execution becomes treatment, the wellspring has been polluted.

But Canada’s medical community isn’t the only one that’s infected with a virus of inverted morality — philosophies of commoditized life now permeate the medical sectors around the world. American “doctors” and institutions lead the way when it comes time to sexual mutilation, excuse me, “gender-affirming healthcare” and baby butchery, or rather, “reproductive justice.” After all, “justice” and “affirming healthcare” equate to “progress” — we can’t be returning to the Dark Ages where the innocence of children was protected at all costs, or human life was valued as sacred, that would be so backwards.

It comes down to this: both the Canadian and American medical communities (as a whole) have abandoned their “do no harm” objective in favor of money. “Gender-affirming healthcare” like surgical and hormonal interventions is a booming and lucrative business, and medically executing patients in need of healthcare zeroes out expenses. Per the same Daily Mail piece:

A 2017 Canadian study suggested medically-assisted dying could reduce health care spending in the country by as much as $137 million a year.

Compromising on innocent life is a slippery slope — and in the West, we’ve seen the acceptance of abortion open the door to where we’re at now. First it was legalized abortion in 1988, then legalized euthanasia for the terminally ill in 2021, now euthanasia for the mentally ill, and next….? Well, euthanasia for the poor.

Another Daily Mail article from three days ago noted:

A Canadian pensioner seeking euthanasia because he fears homelessness has received approval from a doctor despite admitting poverty is a major factor in the decision to end his own life.

Les Landry, 65, told assessors for the procedure he ‘doesn’t want to die’ but has applied for medical assistance in dying (MAID) because he can’t afford to live comfortably.

Astonishingly, a doctor has given one of the two signatures required for Landry to end his own life, despite knowing that financial hardship – not illness – is a leading reason for the profound decision.

Yet, this is what happens when you socialize medicine — human life is nothing more than a dollar sign.

In 1948, Churchill loosely quoted a well-known Spanish philosopher and said, “Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.” Well, we’re the canary in the coalmine, but not many are listening.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has paid tribute to a friend of hers who was murdered in a café shooting in Rome on Sunday.

Three women, including a 50-year-old friend of Meloni, Nicoletta Golisano, were killed in the shooting, which left four others wounded, in what is understood to have been instigated by a dispute over housing.

It is alleged that the suspected shooter, 57-year-old Claudio Campi, stormed the Il Posto Giusto café in the working class neighborhood of Fidene and used a stolen Glock pistol to open fire at a board meeting of his apartment building’s residents.

“He came into the room, closed the door, and shouted ‘I’ll kill you all’ and then started to shoot,” Italian news agency Ansa quoted one eyewitness as saying.

In a post on Instagram, Meloni shared a tribute to Golisano alongside a photograph of the two of them, saying: “For me she will always be beautiful and happy like this.”

She described the victim as “a protective mother, a sincere and discreet friend,” and “a strong and fragile woman at the same time, but she was above all a professional with an uncommon sense of duty.

“It was that sense of duty that brought her there, on a Sunday morning, where a man was waiting for her to be shot dead, along with two other women, during a condominium meeting in Rome.

“Nicoletta was my friend. She leaves her husband Giovanni and a splendid 10-year-old son, Lorenzo. Along with his, other families, to whom I express my closeness, have been destroyed.”

The Italian prime minister revealed the man had been arrested and expressed her hope that “justice will take its course as soon as possible.”

“It’s not right to die like this,” she added, signing off with: “To God Nico. I love you.”

In a tweet on Sunday, the city’s mayor, Roberto Gualtieri, wrote: “The episode of violence that upsets our city is very serious. Three lives lost and others seriously injured in a shooting during a condominium meeting.”

He revealed that he had been in contact with authorities and would be calling an emergency meeting of city officials for Monday to discuss “order and safety.”

An AC mechanic raped a 5-year-old girl inside a high-rise residential building lift while visiting to service an AC in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra.

The accused, Mohammad Akhtar Mathar Hussain (19), was arrested after the child revealed what had happened to her mother, and other residents gathered to nab Hussain after the girl bravely identified him as he was trying to flee. The incident occurred on Wednesday evening.

“Accused took the girl in a lift, while she was playing, & sexually assaulted her there. Accused is an AC mechanic & was visiting nearby flat. After the girl reached her home, she started vomiting. After being asked by her mother, she revealed the incident & her parents along with neighbours gathered outside eventually nabbing the accused before he could escape, after victim girl identified him,” said Senior Inspector Jeetendra Sonawane, of Taloja MIDC Police.

The accused spotted the child playing in the parking area of the building when he was climbing down the stairs after finishing some AC repair work. He took the girl inside the lift and sexually assaulted her there.

As per a report in Mid-Day,

“The incident took place around 7.30 pm on Wednesday at a high-rise. The girl went to the lift when the accused called her. The police said he raped her in the lift and took her to the 11th floor of the building where he stepped out and fled. The girl went to to her house on the third floor.

“At home, she started crying and vomiting. Her mother asked her what had happened, and she narrated her ordeal. Her mother immediately went downstairs and spoke to the watchman. She asked him whether any unknown person had entered the building premises…

“The watchman claimed he hadn’t seen any such person going inside the building. Hearing the commotion, many residents came downstairs to find out what was going on. The child’s mother told them what had happened and they started to look for the man. The girl suddenly saw the accused trying to sneak out of the building and shouted.

“The girl pointed to him saying he misbehaved with her. The man tried to run away but was chased and caught and brought to the Taloja MIDC police station. When he was questioned, he confessed to raping the girl…”

A case has been registered against Hussain under IPC section 376 (rape) and sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. On Friday, a local court remanded him to judicial custody.

It is noteworthy that leading English-language news agency PTI’s report on this heinous crime does not mention the identity of the accused. The same PTI news feed has been carried by leading newspapers like Times Of India, Deccan Herald . Such censorship and downplaying is a standard tactic used by mainstream media as part of their ‘secular’ style-guide, with the objective of maintaining the false narrative of perpetual minority victimhood.

Any crime where a Hindu is a perpetrator and a minority is the victim is highlighted on front pages and deemed worthy of detailed ground zero reporting, even if the victim is a thief who was caught red handed like Tabrez Ansari. But the most brutal crimes involving Muslim perpetrators receive just passing mention, often buried in the inside pages or accused’s name is with-held like in this case from Navi Mumbai.

On December 5, Maharashtra Police arrested an individual named Saif Ali Saleem for raping a 14-year-old Hindu Adivasi girl from Patan town of Satara district. The accused sexually assaulted the victim twice in the year and shot videos on his phone. The Police registered an FIR against the accused under the relevant sections of the society.

According to the local reports, the accused, a resident of the Pethshivapur region of Patan lured the Adivasi girl, a resident of Morgiri, Patan, by saying that he was in love with her. He then forcefully took her to a hotel in September of this year and established sexual relations with her without her will and permission.

Later on November 14, the accused again trapped her behind her school in Morgiri and raped her brutally. He also shot videos of the girl and uploaded them on social media platforms. The accused before executing the crime made the girl believe that he liked her and that he was madly in love with her.

The girl who studies in 9th in a school at Morgiri said in the complaint letter that the accused raped her in November after her school, at around 5 pm. The Police immediately arrested the accused after the victim filed the complaint on December 5 and sought his remand for further investigation. According to the Police, the accused didn’t respond well to the interrogation and failed to provide any information regarding the crime.

The Police document reveals that the accused is 26 years old and is a resident of the Pethshivapur area of Patan city. The residents of Patan protested against the accused after the incident came to the fore by closing the shops and shutting the market for 24 hours. The residents have demanded strict action against the accused and justice for the 14-year-old girl from the adivasi community. Earlier this year, a case of a tribal minor was raped and murdered in Maharashtra’s Jawahar taluka.

Meanwhile, the lawyer’s association in the district has also condemned the incident and has decided that no lawyer would take up the case of the accused in the Courtroom. “We’ll help the victim get justice, but no lawyer would take up the case of the accused who abused and raped the minor,” said the president of the association Adv Prashant Mane.

Also, the Hindu community in the district have planned a protest march across the city on December 13 and has demanded strict action against the accused. The accused in the case have been arrested and booked under the relevant sections of the law. Further investigations into the case are underway.

Billions have been spent turning desert sands into soft green grass; futuristic stadiums have been built, as have absurd infrastructure projects that seat hundreds of thousands of spectators, while a billion fans are watching World Cup matches.

Daniel Turgeman, a young boy from southern Israel, would surely be glued to the TV cheering for his hero, Lionel Messi. Daniel wore the shirt of the Argentine icon of world football whenever he could, but he won’t be able to watch his favorite player on the football field. Daniel was only four years old when he was killed by a Hamas rocket: the missile that killed him was paid for by Qatar.

From 2012 to 2018, Qatar gave $1.1 billion to Hamas. $1.8 billion over ten years. Billions of dollars: so much Qatar, Qatari banks and Qatari “charities” have sent to the Gaza Strip under Islamist rule since 2007, since Israel withdrew.

Ismail Haniyeh and Khaled Mashaal, the two leaders of Hamas, reside in Doha and travel between Middle Eastern capitals on the Gulfstream jet supplied by the al Thani clan in power in Doha. Hamas deputy Khalil al-Hayya also lives in Doha.

But the Emir is well aware that he could not host a World Cup just by flirting with the Islamic international. Thus, the emirate cultivates a very close relationship with an ever-increasing number of European politicians, lobbyists and journalists. “

Qatar is one of the agents of the Islamization of Europe and it is absolutely scandalous that we are rolling out the red carpet,” said Eric Zemmour.

“Qatar has spent more money on gifts and travel for British MPs in the last year than any other country,” according to the Observer analysis. The Qatari regime gave £251,208 worth of gifts to members of parliament in the 12 months to October 2022, including luxury hotel stays, business class flights and horse racing event tickets. The value of Qatar’s gifts was more than the amount spent by the 15 other countries whose governments have donated to British MPs all combined. Records show MPs declared £100,000 worth of gifts from Qatar in the five years to October 2021, but more than double in the past 12 months alone.

Conservative MP David Mundell has accepted gifts worth £7,473 from Qatar. Records show that 34 MPs declared 40 gifts from Qatar in the year to October 2022. Reports had already come out in June that many British MPs were receiving gifts of all kinds from Qatar: Wimbledon tickets, concerts and even vouchers for the McDonald’s. It seems that British politicians are at ease in the luxury resorts of Doha with the leaders of Hamas.

The book “Qatar – France, une décennie de diplomatie Culturelle” tells how the Emir of Qatar paid for trips and awarded prizes to France’s former ministers, philosophers, writers, cartoonists and others. The book, by Edwy Plenel, the former editor-in-chief of Le Monde who founded the news site Mediapart, was distributed in Arabic by Doha Magazine and edited by the Ministry of Culture of Qatar.

In the last few days, Italian former MPS, activists and assistants at Europe’s Parliament are being investigated by the Brussels judiciary in an international corruption plot involving Qatari authorities.

Behind Qatar’s influence at work in Europe is a mixture of the old human greed and self-hatred of the European elites.

The gas molecules with which Qatar intoxicates Europe, especially after the war in Ukraine, carry with them great political and cultural weight. They bring submission.

It means being accomplices in an operation of conquest by a state that makes no secret of being one of the world’s poles of attraction for radical Islam and which, as revealed by the Middle East Forum, has spent a billion dollars on Islamist organizations, many in the West.

Europeans are the useful idiots of Islamization.

Britain’s woke civil service has banned many of its members from hosting “Christmas” parties, insisting that only alcohol-free “festive celebrations” are permissible instead.

The war on Christmas is alive and well in 2022, with parts of the UK’s ultra-woke civil service reportedly implementing a ban on the traditional end-of-year Christmas party, permitting its members to only host alcohol-free “festive celebrations” instead.

Such a ban comes shortly after British census data revealed that England and Wales are no longer Christian countries, with the number of believers amongst various denominations of the religion falling below 50 per cent of the total population across both nations.

According to a report by The Telegraph, while government-wide guidance has not been issued on the topic, a number of civil servants have been told by their seniors that they are forbidden from referring to end-of-year celebrations as “Christmas parties”, for fear that such a description may exclude those of different faiths.

One civil servant also claims that he was told to find a restaurant for his department’s party that does not serve alcohol seemingly in the hopes of being more inclusive towards those in the workforce who do not consume the substance.

While the extent of such measures is ultimately unknown, the bans themselves appear to have their roots in the civil service’s “faith and belief toolkit” that — although does not openly say alcohol and references to Christmas should be forbidden — does demand workers “bear in mind that not everyone consumes alcohol”.

“Quite often, people worry about whether it’s still OK to have a work Christmas party if someone in the team doesn’t celebrate Christmas – or whether it’s OK to suggest drinks after work,” the guidance reportedly says.

“The answer is usually just to think things through based on the preferences of the individuals in your team, and try to offer a range of choices and activities over the year so that no-one feels excluded,” it continues, before saying that no event should centre around activities some workers are “not comfortable with”.

“The idea that civil servants need something called a ‘faith and belief toolkit’ to celebrate Christmas at all is joyless nonsense, let alone one that suggests that people might worry about whether they can have a Christmas party,” former business secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg remarked.

However, the Tory MP’s protests are rendered somewhat farcical by the fact that it was his party which has seen the growth of such woke ideas over its last 12 years in power, having done very little to stop the spread of such militant left-wing ideals.
