A notorious Syrian vandal who is accused of smashing the windshields of over 200 cars, robbing and injuring a pensioner, and setting fire to a bus, remains a free man after a German court revoked an arrest warrant applied for by the authorities.
The 31-year-old suspect, known as Firas A., has wreaked havoc in the port city of Hamburg for months and is believed to have smashed around 245 car windshields in the space of just two months from May to June.
The Syrian national, who arrived in Germany back in 2015, was arrested for the mass vandalism but a court refused to sanction his pre-trial detention.
It is understood he was recently rearrested for new offenses including repeatedly driving without a license and issuing death threats to his former employer. The suspect initially resisted arrest and sparked a police chase but was eventually stopped and found to be in possession of a knife when apprehended.
But still, a judge refused to sign off on him remaining in custody.
German newspaper Bild reported how police in the city “are stunned by the lax justice system” that keeps the man free to roam the streets and use up valuable resources.
“The reason for the arrest warrant issued at the request of the public prosecutor on Nov. 16, 2023, was the risk of absconding,” explained Mia Sperling-Karstens, a spokeswoman for the public prosecutor’s office.
“Given that the accused admitted the allegations after the execution of the arrest warrant, the district court suspended the execution of the arrest warrant and issued various instructions to the accused,” she added.
He has now been released from custody several times only to re-offend with various degrees of seriousness.
After being released in relation to the mass vandalism of car windshields, Firas A. was caught on surveillance footage on Aug. 23 accosting an 84-year-old woman withdrawing cash at the Osdorfer Born shopping center.
After approaching the woman from behind, the suspect grabbed the cash from her hands and in the struggle injured the pensioner, who fell to the ground. She was later treated for bruises on her hands and a cut, while the Syrian suspect remained a free man.
Thomas Jungfer, Hamburg regional chairman of the German Police Union said at the time: “While the police have done their job here, there still seems to be room for the judiciary, and they are more likely to exercise mercy than dispense justice. That leaves you speechless.”
In a surge of violent attacks, conservative and far-Right politicians are being targeted by extremists all around Europe. The trend is becoming worrying.
At the same time, crimes and assaults against ethnic Europeans are also becoming commonplace. Yet most mainstream media and political elites downplay such incidents, while governments crack down on reactions against them.
The pattern is there: As the Right is on the rise, self-proclaimed democrats, leftists and antifa are finding it hard to swallow that failed systemic policies are pushing voters to conservative and nationalist options. So extreme-Left violence is once again on the menu.
A few days before the elections that brought Geert Wilders to power, Thierry Baudet, leader of the Forum for Democracy party (FVD), was struck on the head by an assailant wielding a beer bottle in the Dutch city of Groningen. Last month, Baudet was hit again on the head with an umbrella at an event in Ghent, Belgium.
Α few weeks ago an assassination attempt shocked Spain. Former head of the centre-right People’s Party (PP) in Catalonia, co-founder of Vox party and ex-European Parliament vice-president, Alejo Vidal-Quadras, was shot in the face in Madrid by a gunman on a motorbike. He survived by miracle as the bullet went through his jaw.
About a month ago in Germany the co-president of Alternative for Germany (AfD), Tino Chrupalla, was admitted to a hospital in Ingolstadt following an alleged assault during a rally.
In September, the party’s co-chair Alice Weidel and her family had been evacuated from their apartment in Switzerland because of indications of a planned attack on them. In late August Andreas Jurca, an AfD candidate in Bavaria, was brutally assaulted at a campaign event.
And the list goes on.
At the same time, indiscriminate violence against ethnic Europeans is also turning into a disturbing phenomenon – one that mainstream media seldom takes seriously, but rather addresses as a series of seemingly separate incidents.
Yet another attack took place in France last weekend. One man, a tourist from Germany, was murdered in cold blood while two others, one French and one British, were wounded in central Paris, near the Eiffel tower. The attacker, who shouted “Allahu Akbar”, declared allegiance to the Islamic State.
Last week’s indiscriminate stabbing attack against children at an all-Irish, Catholic school in downtown Dublin by a Muslim naturalised immigrant, who mainstream media insisted on calling an Irishman, led to violent demonstrations all over Ireland.
The Irish police called demonstrators a “far-Right mob”. An “Irish lives matter” graffiti was treated by Northern Ireland authorities as a “hate incident”.
The attack came just a few days after the murder of a 16-year old following a mob attack at the village hall of Crépol, France, which sent another eight to hospital.
“We are here to stab white people”, one of the attackers, dressed in overalls and trainers, allegedly shouted, according to Le Dauphiné Libéré newspaper.
“Anti-white racism is hitting our countryside,” tweeted Marion Marechal, leading candidate for Eric Zemmour’s Reconquete! party in the 2024 European elections.
In its turn, the Crépol attack came a few weeks after a Chechen, who was under surveillance by the French security services, stabbed a teacher to death at his former high school and critically wounded two other people in Arras, northern France. But it is not only France, where things are getting out of control.
In Greece, a Syrian refugee who was arrested on November 22 for a series of sexual assaults on ethnic Greek girls in the centre of Athens told the police: “Yes, I have done this all, and once I am out of jail, I will do the same again, picking the same victims.”
Interestingly enough, the – predominatly Leftist – feminist movement is as silent about the rapes of women in Europe by Muslim immigrants, as it has been about the brutal Hamas raping spree during the October 7 attacks on Israel.
But why the media silence? To a great extent, it is an aggressive indoctrination coming from the Left and adopted by a spineless centre-Right, that one should blame.
Namely, some in academia and the media seem to believe that attacking ethnic Europeans and “fascists”, as they call pretty much everyone on the political Right, is more or less ok.
Europeans, like Americans before them, are being told that there can be no such thing as racism against caucasians and that one is morally justified to be violent against the Right. The EU has even passed special legislation to crack down on what it considers as “hate speech” online. Still, European people do not appear to agree.
Big demonstrations by conservatives and nationalists in Ireland, Spain, Poland, Italy, France and Greece, polls showing Marine le Pen in the lead ahead of the European Parliament elections, upset election wins like the one of Geert Wilders in the Netherlands – everything shows that the tide is turning.
Some may think otherwise, but Europe is a majority ethnic European continent, where ethnic European lives still matter. And the lives of those who believe that they matter, matter too.
Leading leftist lawmakers from the European Union allegedly accepted up to €4 million in bribes to use their influence to advance the aims of the Islamic nations of Morocco, Mauritania, and Qatar.
A year after one of the largest corruption scandals in the history of the bloc rocked Brussels as socialist EU parliamentarians were discovered with literal suitcases full of cash allegedly from the Sharia state of Qatar, leaked documents seen by the POLITICO website have shed light on the potential scale of the suspected influence peddling scheme.
According to the report, former Member of the European Parliament Pier Antonio Panzeri and his aide Francesco Giorgi kept detailed spreadsheet accounts of their activities allegedly working on behalf of the Islamic governments of Morocco, Mauritania, and Qatar over four years, during which they and their leftist cohorts reportedly raked in approximately €4 million in bribes.
The spreadsheet, which was discovered on Giorgi after police raided his Brussels apartment last year, logged over 300 instances in which the far-leftists sought to use their influence within the EU Parliament and the corresponding payoffs between 2018 and 2022. One of the chief aims of the alleged ring was to secure visa-free travel in the EU for Qatari nationals as well as to block six resolutions introduced by the European Union’s legislative body to condemn the human rights abuses in Islamic country.
The alleged pay-for-play influence scheme also, according to the spreadsheet, claimed to have “changed [the] narrative in parliament” surrounding the Qatar World Cup, which was shrouded in controversy over the exploitation of migrant workers and the claimed use of actual slave labour, during a parliamentary committee hearing in 2021 which featured a Qatari government official.
Giorgi and Panzeri also reportedly bragged about successfully modifying an EU resolution on Morocco’s handling of the migrant crisis in 2021 to a “more moderate text”. They also are claimed to have cited work to help pass a resolution against Algeria, which the spreadsheet claimed would have been to the benefit of Morocco.
In addition, the documents stated that the leftist Eurocrats had sought to improve the reputation of the West African nation of Mauritania while claiming to have blocked an anti-slavery activist and critic of the Mauritanian government from winning a top EU human rights award.
The files on Giorgi’s computer reportedly said that they accomplished their influence-peddling operation with a network of Brussels insiders, whom they dubbed “soldiers”. So far, the police investigation has seen the arrests of four current and former Members of the European Parliament on suspicion of corruption, money laundering and criminal organisation crimes.
In addition to Panzeri and Giorgi, police arrested then-European Parliament Vice President and Giorgi’s spouse, Eva Kaili. The Greek socialist politician was removed from her leadership post after she was arrested and police recovered large amounts of cash in suitcases and bags. She has denied all charges. It has been reported that dozens of other EU lawmakers may have been tied to the suspected bribery scheme.
A source close to Giorgi’s legal defence team told POLITICO that his lawyers will argue that the spreadsheet was “not credible” as proof of corrupt activities, but rather that it was used merely to “boost” the group’s image to foreign clients. Giorgi reportedly told police that their business model “relied on the ignorance of how parliament works” of foreign clients.
Too much incitement, too much anti-Semitism: Israel has issued a travel warning for Austria and raised the danger level at the same time. Germany is also affected by the warning. Israel has adjusted its travel advice and raised the risk level for Israeli citizens travelling to Austria. The advice for numerous other countries has also been adjusted and raised, Israel’s National Security Staff announced on Monday. The second of a total of five levels calling on Israelis to exercise increased caution now applies to Austria – the same level that also applies to Ukraine, among other countries. Germany, France and the UK are also affected by the warning. The National Security Staff reported a significant increase in incitement, attempted attacks and anti-Semitism in numerous regions of the affected countries. In addition, Iran and its allies are attempting to attack Israeli and Jewish targets around the world. Citizens should therefore choose their travel destinations carefully, the statement continued. Situation assessments have been carried out continuously since the beginning of the Gaza war. Due to the increased threat, the dangers have been adjusted. The precautionary measures include postponing travel to Arab countries. Israelis are advised to avoid expressing their Israeli and Jewish identity using icons.
On the first Sunday of Advent of all days, the beginning of the period of preparation for Christmas, one of the two central Christian festivals, the readers of the newspaper WELT AM SONNTAG (WAMS) are confronted with an “Advent riddle” with the question: “How often does a Muslim have to pray every day?”
Would it not have been appropriate in an “Advent riddle” to answer, for example, the question: “What do Christians actually understand by the Latin term ‘Advent’?” – or to draw attention to Christian customs and traditions during Advent and explain them if necessary?
In any case, when announcing an “Advent puzzle”, a subject with a Christian background is the order of the day. Anything else is a journalistic hoax. The accusation is that the editor of German weekly WAMS is using its apparent “Advent puzzle” to occupy the Christian-themed Advent season for Islamic instruction.
And if it has to be: Aren’t there enough innocuous, “neutral” times throughout the year for Muslim guesswork, including times that at least make a corresponding journalistic reference to Islam appear comprehensible?
With twelve individual questions on various areas of the topic of Islam, WAMS readers are to be put on the Islamic course in this current “Advent puzzle”. Those who answer correctly will first be rewarded with the self-generated solution word “wish list”.
They are also offered the prospect of four handsome prizes: An Advent puzzle with an Islamic theme worth a total of 40,000 euros. I am happy not to take part. Perhaps I should also give up my decades-long subscription to the newspaper.
The editorial team should be questioned critically: would you consider it sensible to publish a “Ramadan puzzle” before Ramadan next year, which is decidedly about Christian topics? In all probability: No!
You would probably be indignant at the editorial meeting: Impossible! You can’t talk about Ramadan and then bring up the Christian faith. The accusation levelled at WAMS would be fully justified: Missing the point.
What kind of protests would that trigger among Muslims, even among Islamophile non-Muslims? Christians, on the other hand, can obviously be expected to do the same in the WAMS editorial office!
By the way: On Easter 2022, the central festival of Christians, there was a report in WamS about Muhammad and Islam. This questionable “theological” mixture in favour of Islam, in which the Christian celebration culture is exploited for Muslim “enlightenment”, obviously seems to be a deliberate editorial method. Or is this merely a case of journalistic insensitivity?
A suggestion to compensate: The editorial team at WELT AM SONNTAG could continue to publish an entire puzzle page in each issue in the coming year 2024 in the appealing style of this “Advent puzzle”. However, with twelve critical questions each time, in which the wealth of problems caused worldwide by the Islamic religion are addressed with almost daily consequences.
These questions should have a theological, historical, cultural, ethical, legal and social context, questions that are of concern to many “adventurous people” who are worried about future developments in our country and in Europe.
The questions for this weekly puzzle page would certainly not run out this year due to their complexity. At times of year that are particularly characterised by Christianity, Islamic riddles should definitely be avoided, which would mean that the Islamic riddle would be omitted in some Saturday editions.
The editorial team would certainly not have to announce a lucrative prize for the puzzle participants either. The WamS project “Critical Islam puzzle every week” would probably be a media product with a unique selling point, certainly also informative, stimulating discussion, exciting and attractive – and thus also effective advertising at the same time.
In the last couple of years, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become a meaningful player in the new multipolar reality of the world.
India became one of the few members of the space club when it landed, for the first time, a probe on the Moon’s south pole.
He flexed his geopolitical muscles both at the BRICS Summit in South Africa, and also as the G20 host.
Then, both Canada and, lately, the US have accused the Indian state of being behind assassination plots against Sikh separatists, that New Delhi considers ‘terrorists’.
As a result, the recent state-level elections were seen as a test of Modi’s leadership.
Elections in Madhya Pradesh, Mizoram, Rajasthan, Telangana, and Chhattisgarh states have frequently been described as the ‘semi-finals’ to the grand finale, which is the 2024 national election.

A trans-identified male in the Netherlands charged with committing a brutal murder has been placed in a women’s prison ahead of his final hearings. Known only as “Daniela D.,” the 32-year-old Chilean national is accused of having stabbed a man 214 times, targeting his eyes, ears, and genitals.
The incident is said to have occurred on December 23 of 2022 during an altercation that took place at the home of Danny Roth. Daniela was reportedly working as a prostitute at the time in the Rotterdam region, with Roth being an occasional client.
Details of the moments leading up to the killing are unclear, though Daniela’s lawyer has attempted to forward “a case of self-defense excess.” with Daniela testifying that Roth had taken drugs which caused him to hallucinate.
De OvJ eist een gevangenisstraf van 14 jaar tegen Daniela D. (32) die op 23 december vorig jaar de 36-jarige Danny uit Hoogvliet op een gruwelijke manier doodstak. #Danny
blood patterns spattered across the wall. According to an analysis of the crime scene, the victim’s blood was dusted high up across the walls. In Daniela’s version of events, the expert said, the blood would have mainly been on the ground and not “in an upward direction all around.”
An autopsy also showed that while there was alcohol and cocaine in Roth’s body, there were no traces of other substances, such as the purported “hallucinogenic pill” his system.
Additionally, Daniela made a disturbing admission in a recorded phone call shortly after the assault.
“I stabbed both eyes, so that he cannot recognize me when the police show him a photo. I stabbed his ears, so that he cannot hear questions from the police,” Daniela told a friend. “And I broke the bottle on his head. I didn’t want to stop hitting him.”
The Public Prosecution Service presented a different scenario from the story told by Daniela and pointed to the significant amount of cuts all over Roth’s body as an important indication of anger.
“The stabbing was deliberate and targeted. That is not fear, but anger and revenge. It is not self-defense but an attack.” A coroner determined that Roth’s penis was slashed with a knife after he was already dead.
🚨Mannen in de vrouwengevangenis plaatsen is een grove schending van mensenrechten! 🚨
Roth’s body was found on December 26, three days after the fatal attack, by a friend and a neighbor who stopped by wondering where he was. Roth had not shown up for appointments, and his family had become concerned when they could not contact him over the holidays. Roth’s body was discovered lying on the floor, surrounded by a pool of blood.
The victim’s sister testified in court and strongly condemned Daniela while requesting the maximum possible sentence.
“I hope your hand still hurts every day. When you go to sleep, I hope you see his face. You had an overwhelming anger, from the top of your head to your toes. So bad that the most gruesome horror film is nothing like it,” Roth’s sister told the accused.
Daniela D. has been residing illegally in the Netherlands since February 2022, where he has been involved in the sex industry. The court heard that he came from a broken home and that he had been “bullied” as a youth by peers who did not accept his gender identity.
The Public Prosecution Service is seeking a sentence of fourteen years in prison. The court in Dordrecht will announce its final verdict on December 5.
Despite being fully intact, Daniela is being detained in Ter Peel women’s prison, and it is anticipated that should he be convicted, he will serve his sentence in a women’s institution.
Journalist Sybilla Claus, writing for Brabants Dagblad, called the situation “unacceptable” for female inmates.
“Is it safe for one violent perpetrator, who is biologically male, to disrupt the lives of hundreds of incarcerated women for up to 14 years? The director of the largest women’s prison, Ter Peel, between Venlo and Helmond, thinks it’s fine. He had the extremely violent Chilean suspect, with male genitalia, placed there among the 226 women,” Claus wrote.
“They have the right to their own protection, privacy and dignity… Research shows that a large proportion of imprisoned women have been victims of physical and/or sexual violence as children and afterwards, and end up in an abusive relationship.”
Claus emphasized that “there are few female criminals in the Netherlands. There are three women’s prisons … which house around 3,000 women annually. Most are released within three months, because they commit lighter crimes,” she wrote. “Behavioral scientist Katharina Joosen interviewed about four hundred former women inmates. She described in 2015 that half have a criminal or addicted partner and have been treated for serious psychological problems due to trauma.”
France’s The Greens party has kicked off its campaign for the European elections next year in an unconventional way – through “booty therapy”.
At the launch event on December 2, activists were urged by The Greens election-list leader MEP Marie Toussaint to “listen to the pulsations of life” and shake their behinds to that rhythm.
Rather than a lecture on biodiversity or climate change, for example, for about 20 minutes attendees were treated to three scantily clad females dancing on stage, instructing them on how to “twerk”.
Party leader Martine Tondelier said of booty therapy: “This concept is for everyone: women, men, and gender minorities. And, of course, for all buttocks: small, medium, large, flat, rounded … Maybe that bothers some people, too, but that’s the way it is!”
Despite the enthusiasm of the performers, the crowd seemed somewhat hesitant to learn how to shake their rear ends at first but soon a group of mainly party executives joined in.
The ladies then gave a speech on the power of booty therapy, which is also the name of their dance troupe. They explained how such dancing was a way to “retake the public space, with all our different bodies”.
During the show, one of the performers asked the audience to imitate a chicken. “The chicken has the flu and therefore has a high fever,” she said, inviting the spectators to “shake in all directions” accordingly.
Video’s of the twerking lessons have gone viral in France.

Regardez, c'est extraordinaire, après vous vous sentirez obligés de voter pour eux.
The eyebrow-raising event is seen by many as a stunt by Toussaint, who hosted the meeting, designed to gain publicity.
At the meeting, she invited activists to “listen to the pulsations of life” to “understand that life is a fragile miracle, ultimately held together by the fluttering of a bee’s wings”.
Others said the stage event more “resembled a low-quality, vulgar pop music video than in a reflection on saving the planet”.
“There is such a gap between the panicked speeches they make about climate and this ‘booty therapy’ that we don’t understand. Reality seems to elude them.”
Tondelier said there were a lot of “haters who clearly don’t understand anything about ‘booty therapy’”.
On X, she explained: “Booty therapy is a concept created by Maïmouna Coulibaly. It combines sport, dance and personal development.
“Booty therapy is about taking responsibility for yourself as you are, accepting your physical appearance, taking responsibility for your history, understanding your emotions and releasing them in a healthy, safe space surrounded by caring people.
“On this basis, people can release their emotions and heal some of their traumas and trials through group exercises,” she said.
The Greens party will run its election bid on their own, as the left-wing NUPES alliance of which it was a part started to splinter amid continuous infighting.
That was made worse when the far-left La France Insoumise party backed Palestine rather than Israel after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks.
Now being a standalone outfit, The Greens regards the European elections in June 2024 as pivotal, but the latest polls put it behind the 13.5 per cent achieved in 2019.
Ugly, aggressive, and emotional? Sounds like the typical “trans” influencer on the prowl, hunting for some social media likes and an unsuspecting victim they’re looking to cast as the prejudiced and misgendering bully.
With that in mind, take a look at the video below shared by Libs of TikTok on X (formerly Twitter) yesterday:
Trans YouTuber bullies and degrades a pizza man who barely speaks English for “misgendering” him pic.twitter.com/JFsk8qxKVr
The exchange, between a New York pizzeria worker who clearly doesn’t speak English and a verbally-abusive man in drag asking loaded questions, is par for the course, because these LGBTQ++ cultists are routinely terroristic in their approach. “How are you gonna tell me I’m a man. In a purse. And long hair. And nails. You can’t figure that out for yourself?” Well buddy, that’s not what it means to be a girl or a woman, that’s just “woman face,” and for someone who no doubt hails from a traditional and foreign culture, you’re a total freak. As one commenter succinctly phrased the interaction:
‘Take a guess!’ I thought we are not supposed to take a guess. Which is it?
A little over a month ago, I wrote a blog on Lilly Contino, another man who’s built like a linebacker but dresses like a teenage girl—Contino makes a point to dine out at restaurants, where he inevitably gets “misgendered,” all so he can correct the waitstaff. “Yes, I know I look like a man with my hairline creeping back in the male pattern, I have an Adam’s apple, and I’m about to eat 3,000 calories, but I’m a girl! Didn’t you see the bows clipped to my thinning curls and the belly shirt?”
Carefully constructed snares… condescending tsk-tsks… and victimhood. Don’t these people have anything better to do? As another X user noted:
We went from gender stereotypes are bigoted to if you don’t view the world through gender stereotypes you’re bigoted really fast.
Mentally disturbed men dressing up as women, making a mockery of femininity with tacky and classless displays, then becoming irate when people wonder what in tarnation they’re identifying as today is a minefield, and creepy.
Around 15,000 people turned out on the streets of Madrid on Sunday, December 3rd, to protest the pending amnesty for Catalan separatists and their friends.
The protest marked the fourth promoted by the center-right Partido Popular (PP) against an amnesty that includes not only MEP Carles Puigdemont and a handful of others who directly organized the 2017 illegal referendum on Catalan independence but also extends to crimes such as street violence and drug-related crimes of anyone considered a supporter of Catalonia’s secession from the Spanish nation.
Though smaller than previous mass protests, it still numbered enough people to create a visual effect and demonstrate that Spain is not ready to easily forgive and forget the offenses of unrepentant separatists intent on holding another referendum.
The protest took place the day after a highly opaque meeting between representatives from Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s socialist party and Puigdemont’s party, Junts per Cat. A meeting with an international mediator was stipulated by the Catalans in their agreement to support Sánchez’ new government. Negotiations between Madrid and Catalan parties have long been a demand from separatists because they create a scene in which Catalan parties or regional leaders appear on equal international footing with the recognized and legitimate government of Spain.
However, details of the meeting, staged in Switzerland, have been highly guarded, from the exact location to who had been brought in as an international observer or mediary. Nevertheless, Spanish media reports that the meeting took place in a private house in Cologny, a luxurious Swiss commune in the canton of Geneva located near Lake Geneva. The minutes of the meeting, surrounded by total secrecy, were kept by one of the verifiers, the Salvadoran diplomat Francisco Galindo Vélez.
The Henry Dunant Foundation, a Swiss human rights organization, handled the logistics and acted as one of the international verifiers. Notably, the meeting did not involve members of government. However, Puigdemont is pressing for a face-to-face with Sánchez.
The PP, which has a stronghold in Madrid thanks to leading both the municipal and regional governments with two of its most popular politicians, José Luis Martinnez-Almedia and Isabel Diaz Ayuso, intends to keep up the atmosphere of opposition and protest in the heart of the Spanish nation.
