Month: June 2024

A man who brandished a knife outside kosher supermarket in Golders Green and shouted antisemitic abuse at staff in a terrifying incident that shocked the community has avoided a jail term, reports claim.

Gabriel Abdullah, 34, was arrested on January 29, minutes after he attempted to make his way inside Kay’s kosher supermarket on Hamilton Road, waving a knife and threatening staff inside, asking them for their view on events in Gaza.

Police later praised the bravery of the shop staff, and members of the public who intervened, and thanked Shomrim for their invention after they were alerted to the attack.

Abdullah, who lives in Golders Green, had pleaded guilty to causing affray and being in possession of a knife in February, where it emerged that police had amended hate crime charges originally planned for him.

But it has now emerged that after appearing at Harrow Crown Court, Abdullah was handed two concurrent  suspended sentences for the crime, along with a nine month alcohol treatment requirement.

Yosef Reitman, one of those to bravely intervene and prevent Abdullah carrying out an attack, said the decision not to send Abdullah to prison had left him shocked.

In a statement he told GB News: “When I first heard about the suspended sentence I was utterly surprised.

“The fact he is basically out after threatening a bunch of people is crazy.”
Reitman said he planned to ask for an appeal, and described the sentence as “way too lenient.”

GB News reported on Tuesday  that rather than being sent to jail, the judge sentenced Abdullah to 18 months imprisonment, suspended for two years, and 12 months imprisonment, again suspended for two years.

Alongside the alcohol treatment, he was also ordered to complete a 30 day rehab requirement. At an earlier trial Matthew Ness, Abdullah’s barrister, had told the court that he had been suffering from paranoid schizophrenia before the incident – which he reportedly tried to self-medicate with alcohol.

“Mental health contributed to this offence,” Ness told the court. “Mr Abdullah said his mental health issues had never caused him to leave the house with a knife before, and he attributed this to a very high alcohol intake.”

In February Judge Charles Bourne KC had ordered a pre-sentence report be drawn up and told Abdullah: “You are going to be sentenced on May 8, by which time the probation service will have been in touch with you.

“It’s very much in your interests to assist the probation service.”

Footage posted to social media following the incident in January had showed Abdullah wearing a grey hoodie as he tussled with shop workers while carrying a knife.

After the January 29 incident Chief Superintendent Sara Leach, responsible for policing in north-west London, said: “Yesterday’s incident in Golders Green has understandably caused significant concern and left our Jewish communities shaken.

“I want to be clear, this matter is being treated as a hate crime and we are dedicating significant resources to the investigation.“Our officers responded quickly and were on the scene within six minutes and able to arrest the suspect within ten minutes of being called. I want to pay tribute to the members of the public who bravely intervened before police arrived.”

Jewish News has approached the court for a statement.

The president of France’s National Rally (RN), Jordan Bardella, announced his party’s intention to end birthright citizenship in France.

Campaigning for the upcoming French general elections, on June 14 he outlined his party’s plans on immigration, security and pension reform.

In an interview with BFMTV, Bardella stated: “Within the first few weeks, I’ll have parliament vote on an immigration law designed to facilitate the deportation of foreign Islamic criminal offenders by lifting administrative constraints, and above all, I’ll abolish birthright citizenship.”

This proposal echos one put forward by French President Emmanuel Macron’s government.

In February, his administration said it planned to end birthright citizenship on the Indian Ocean island of Mayotte to reduce its appeal to migrants.

“It will no longer be possible to become French if you are not the child of a French parent,” interior minister Gerald Darmanin said at the time

The end of birthright citizenship is a complicated judiciary issue as it would entail changing France’s Constitution.

The French Government will end granting birthright citizenship in Mayotte to make the overseas department less appealing to migrants following large-scale and violent clashes there. https://t.co/iPnksb2e1t

Additional immigration measures proposed by Bardella included a reform of healthcare for illegal immigrants. “There will no longer be free health care for people who come to our country illegally,” he said.

Despite his strong stance on immigration, he insisted that his policies were not aimed at French citizens of foreign origin.

“I want to reassure everyone today that people of foreign nationality or origin who work, pay their taxes, respect the law and love our country have absolutely nothing to fear from the [RN],” he said.

Following Macron’s call on June 9 for the snap elections, de facto RN Marine Le Pen stated that Bardella, recently re-elected as an MEP, would become the next Prime Minister of France if the party tops the vote.

 Three teenage boys in Spokane, Washington, could face up to five years in jail and up to $10,000 in fines for putting skid marks on a rainbow-colored street mural with their scooters.

Local media reported that 19-year-old Ruslan Turko and two unnamed minors were arrested earlier this month on suspicion of first-degree malicious mischief with a hate crime bias.

The three apparently used rented Lime scooters to deface a LGBT-themed crosswalk at the intersection of Howard Street and Spokane Falls Boulevard near Riverfront Park. The mural is one of 29 painted intersections in the city.

The trio allegedly shouted profanities at pro-gay patrons of a nearby pub as well after the person had yelled “you don’t destroy symbols without intention behind it” at them as they were carrying out their act of protest.

This is not the first time the intersection has experienced vandalism. The mural was repainted in April 2024 after a previous incident in October 2023. One month later, on May 16, it was targeted again when a group of people lit it on fire around 1:30 a.m. Moreover, just days after Turko and his friends were arrested, another incident was carried out as white and yellow paint was discovered on the mural on Tuesday, June 11.

Washington’s new hate crime vandalism law went into effect June 6. Turko and his compatriots were arrested around 9 p.m. on June 5. It is not readily apparent if the law, which was signed in March by ultra-liberal Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee, will be applied to the offense.

Turko appeared in court earlier this month with his lawyer. He was released on his own recognizance as long as he does not return to the crosswalk or engage with the other suspects. His arraignment is set for June 18. Prosecutors asked for a $15,000 bond that would cover costs needed to repaint the mural.

Scooter company Lime issued a statement condemning the incident. “All of us at Lime condemn these vile acts in no uncertain terms. At a time when our teams at Lime are beginning pride celebrations around the globe, it is disturbing to see the hate taking place in Spokane.”

The company announced it would implement a “no ride zone” around the mural as well.

A new report from pro-LGBT business group Out Leadership listed Washington as the 12th most LGBT-friendly state in the U.S. behind New York, Connecticut, Vermont, and Oregon, among other ultra-liberal states.

The devout West African (22) is said to have tyrannised his girlfriend, whom he met in a Viennese club, regularly beat her and brutally forced her to have sex. The woman finally confided in a work colleague and reported the suspected Islamist to the police. The man is in custody.
The suspected Islamist has been in custody in Vienna since last week for allegedly severely sexually abusing his partner. The woman is said to have been bullied since February 2024 after the Muslim man (22) allegedly became radicalised during a stay of several weeks with Muslim friends in France. Violent attacks and multiple rapes are then believed to have occurred from the end of April. The accused denies the allegations.

The suspect had met the woman, who had just separated from her husband – the divorce proceedings were still ongoing – in a club in Vienna city centre in September 2023. A relationship developed, but after two to three months the man, who was from West Africa, started to monitor the woman. He constantly called her and enquired where she was when she was not at home. On his return from France, he then demanded that she wear a headscarf during Ramadan and that she should now live as he considered appropriate. Only Muslim women are “pure”, he is said to have emphasised. The victim is originally from South America, has lived in Vienna for over 20 years and works in a laboratory for a prestigious company. She refused to cover her hair.

This is likely to have increased tensions within the relationship. The African is now said to have regularly searched his girlfriend’s mobile phone, possibly even tracked her device, and when he found out that she had searched for a club on Instagram, it is said to have led to a first violent episode. According to the victim, the man punched her in the face around 20 times, choked her and pulled her hair before forcing her to tolerate sexual intercourse. Afterwards, the woman was not allowed to leave the flat for days and, according to her, had to call in sick to her job.
When she had halfway recovered, the investigation revealed that a second rape took place in mid-May after the woman was delayed coming home from an appointment at her car repair shop due to traffic – she had got caught in a traffic jam. When the South American-born woman discovered a pistol in a box shortly afterwards, she was alarmed. She feared that the man could shoot her at the next disagreement. She therefore confided in a work colleague and finally filed a complaint.

The Vienna public prosecutor’s office is investigating the suspected Islamist for rape, deprivation of liberty, assault and dangerous threats. The regional court has assumed that there is a risk of a possible offence. The detention order refers to a “massive willingness to use violence and an increase in violence” on the part of the accused. It also states that the woman’s injuries are “impressively documented”.

The suspect denies having been violent towards his partner. In his police interrogation, he explained her haematomas, abrasions and bite wounds with consensual rough sex. Her ex-husband is also said to have given her a black eye once during a meeting.

As the Library of Congress notes, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month is celebrated each year in the month of June.

An entire month?! Our mothers, fathers, and soldiers only get a day. And then there is the “pride” angle. I’m not sure who you have intimate relations with should be a source of pride any more than your height, weight, or shoe size should be. (It’s worth noting that the barrage of days celebrating same-sex coupling doesn’t end on June 30. October is LGBTQ+ History Month, the same month we celebrate National Coming Out Day. In November, there is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. And in case you missed it, we had the Transgender Day of Visibility in March, and in April, the Day of Silence honored the contributions of the LGBTQ community.)

LGBTQ month is not about tolerance; it is about the agenda, which is a leading reason for the culture wars that all of us, especially parents, face practically on a daily basis.

Just a year ago, the Human Rights Campaign, the country’s “largest and most influential activist organization representing the interests of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community,” hysterically issued a state of emergency for LGBTQIA+ people in the U.S. HRC claimed more than 525 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills had been introduced in state legislatures. Men not being allowed in women’s bathrooms and 10-year-olds not being allowed to pick their own gender qualify as an “emergency” to HRC, you see.

HRC’s over-the-top alarmism aside, our nation’s youth are buying into the agenda. Big time.    The results of a CDC report released in April 2023 reveal that 24.5% of high school students identify as gay, lesbian, transgender, or “something other than heterosexual.” Traditionally, that number has been around 3.8%.

The Pride bug is hardly limited to HRC; our institutions have also been infected.

National Review obtained a memorandum sent in May to federal judges and other employees of the federal court system recognizing LGBTQ Pride Month. Federal employees will have to undergo training that explores “the common misnomers associated with gender, why gender inclusivity is essential, and how to navigate gender identity professionally in the workplace.”

Needless to say, the schools are saturated with Pride propaganda. Scholastic, a major publisher of books and other educational materials, has announced a “Read with Pride” campaign, in which educators are provided with a list of “LGBTQIA+ stories” for “kids and teens.” Scholastic vows to use company resources to fight efforts by local school districts and parents to determine what content is appropriate for children.

Not surprisingly, Scholastic emphasizes that the very act of teaching is itself political and “is meant to impress a certain ideology on students.” The organization’s guide asserts, “Books and literature are never neutral; by engaging with queer literature for children and young adults, you are disrupting the status quo that implies being cisgender, heterosexual, and allosexual are the default. You are showing children an expanded way of thinking and being that validates all children and people.”

Taking it a step further, the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center has amassed a list of “Anti-LGBTQ hate groups. While all the usual Christian groups grace the list, it also includes “Gays Against Groomers.” I guess grooming children into the homosexual lifestyle is okay with the SPLC.

California, of course, is ground zero for sex-related craziness. Cities around the state have seen school board meetings turn into battlegrounds over parental notification on sex- and gender-related issues. In Temecula, Joseph Komrosky, a Christian conservative who was elected to the school board in November 2022, has been targeted by foes who claim his words and actions are divisive. Komrosky’s major sin is that he approved a policy requiring parents to be told if their child identifies as transgender. Supporters say he has kept his promise to restore parental rights and protect children from pornography and liberal indoctrination. The vote to recall Komrosky is too close to call as of this writing.

As a way to disempower local school districts, San Diego Assemblyman Chris Ward has authored AB 1955. This bill would prohibit all school boards in the state from implementing policies requiring parental notification regarding their child’s gender identity or gender expression without the child’s consent.

State-sponsored sex jihads are certainly not limited to the Golden State. In Vermont, a new lawsuit alleges that the state blocked two families from fostering children, despite the state’s foster care system crisis, because the families hold traditional, religious views on gender and sexuality.

Predictably, colleges have become a laughingstock on gender-related issues.

Russell Sage College, a private institution in Albany, NY, plans to offer a Gender-Affirming Voice Program starting in the spring 2025 semester. The school’s website explains that during the sessions, participants will “explore aspects of voice, like pitch, inflection, resonance, articulation, and loudness.” Attention will also be given to “nonverbal communication,” and students will be taught “how to sneeze, cough, and modify their voices to match their identities.”

At the same time that everyone is supposed to embrace the LGBTQ agenda, traditional masculinity is excoriated. Daniel Greenfield, journalist at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, writes that the Tucson Unified School District in Arizona is now promoting “A Call to Men,” whose materials teach that “all men and boys are complicit in violence against women and girls” and that the Man Box (traditional masculinity) does not allow us to be fully human. “Vulnerable boys are programmed to repeat the cultlike mantra, ‘I was taught gender norms, which means I can unlearn it and teach myself to be free.’”

In Texas, where sanity still prevails, children may get to read stories from the Bible in elementary school, according to a redesigned curriculum. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick explains that this will “get us back to teaching, not necessarily the Bible per se, but the stories from the Bible.”

The program’s adoption is voluntary and will go before the state Board of Education in the fall. The sex-obsessed crowd that would rather see children read books like Gender Queer, which graphically depicts young people indulging in various kinds of sex, and Ready Player One, which includes explicit descriptions of blow-up sex dolls, online brothels, and masturbation, is sure to do its best to nix the reading of any Bible-related stories.

Supporting LGBTQ Pride Month, Kevin Rector, a legal affairs reporter for the Los Angeles Times, insists that “Queer people should not just be accepted but celebrated.”

That is absurd. What willing people do behind closed doors is no one else’s business – not yours, not mine, and not the government’s. But to honor people—for an entire month, no less—for their sexual activity is an insult to us all, gay and straight.

Germany isn’t the only country facing Islamization. It comes in two forms: soft and hard.

The repugnant softness of political correctness requires the native population of the UK to abandon its own culture for not being Muslim culture:

[L]aw firms have been urged to stop hosting work socials at the pub over fears they exclude Muslim staff.

A report by Rare, a UK graduate recruitment company specialising in diversity, said the legal profession’s “big drinking culture” is unfair to those who abstain from alcohol.

It suggested that law firms introduce more cooking, painting or pottery classes to boost team bonding, rather than hosting events centred on booze.

Muslims could always order nonalcoholic drinks. But that would deny them an opportunity to crybully and worse yet deny moonbats an opportunity to pander to them with the usual whimpering obsequiousness.

More ominously, in the USA:

Masked anti-Israel protesters took over a New York City subway car on Monday and demanded to know if there were any “Zionists” on the train — then warned them: ‘This is your chance to get out.”

The sickening moment came after protesters rallied in Union Square Park in Manhattan and held up a banner that read “Long live October 7.”

The next October 7 is likely to take place stateside.

[T]he mob of protesters lit flares and waved flags associated with Hezbollah and Hamas in front of the Nova Music Festival Exhibition on Wall Street during an organized “citywide day of rage for Gaza.”

Wall Street is a stone’s throw from where another Islamic terrorist group flew two planes full of Americans into the World Trade Center not so very long ago.

In the wake of the sweeping conservative victories across Europe, Reuters published this article:

French renewable energy sector says far-right victory risks trouble for industry

The French renewable energy sector is bracing for a sharp slowdown in wind and solar projects if the far-right wins a majority in upcoming elections, just as new legislation was expected to boost the industry in nuclear-dominant France.

President Emmanuel Macron’s shock decision on Sunday to call a snap election could hand political power to Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally (RN) party, leaving it in charge of domestic policies including energy.

The RN has pledged to end subsidies for renewables and wants to halt expansion of wind power, including pulling down already installed turbines. The party would instead invest in nuclear, hydropower and hydrogen, according to its website.

‘It is clear that an RN-dominant parliament would facilitate the implementation of legislation that would at least slow down the development of renewable energy projects,’ said a spokesperson at Velocita Energies, a unit of China’s Envision Energy, which operates wind farms in France.

So hold up, let’s get a few things straight. It’s not exactly the French “renewable energy sector” but the Chinese “renewable energy sector” about which we’re speaking—so in reality it’s Chinese communists lamenting the electoral results, not true Frenchmen, which just shows how necessary it was for the elections to go the way the did. (Economics 101: If the industry can’t exist without billions in subsidies for years on end, it’s just not a feasible industry, class dismissed.)

Secondly, I reject the use of the term “far-right” unless we’re talking anarchy, because these are conservative limited government ideologies that found support at the ballot box, not lawlessness and zero government.

And thirdly, just to be clear, when I say “renewable” energy sector, I’m only using that term because it’s easily understood as the solar and wind energy industry, but it’s not at all accurate. Wind and solar are obviously renewable energy sources, but the sector is entirely reliant on another truly renewable energy source, and that is crude oil. (Crude oil is continuously made by the earth and even seeps out into the ocean, sustaining a host of marine bacteria that exclusively feed on it.) Unless the world returns to using shovels and manpower to mine critical minerals like cobalt and lithium, or can figure out how to dig out silicate for its silicon without relying on heavy diesel machinery or transportation, calling wind and solar a renewable energy “sector” is false, and completely misleading.

Now, back to the matter at hand: I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the corporate handouts to foreign communists were one of many reasons that the French voted the way they did.

Or, I suppose it could have been other things to, like…

The human locusts who have turned the nation’s sparkling capital into a filthy and crime-ridden tent city?

The tragic losses of bright and beautiful young French boys stabbed to death by gangs of feral African youth?

Muslim riots in Paris?

Maybe it was all of the above.

What’s next?

Leftist NGOs lamenting the victories because it “risks trouble” for their West-toppling migration schemes?

Socialists lamenting the victories because it “risks trouble” for their welfare benefits?

Third world invaders lamenting the victories because it “risks trouble” for their free ride?

Muslim jihadis lamenting the victories because it “risks trouble” for their bloody plans to Islamize Europe?

All these reasons are exactly why the people voted the way they did, and God bless them for it.

New party Se Acabó la Fiesta (SALF) has scored a major victory on the European Parliament elections by winning three of Spain’s allotted seats.

SALF, which translates as “The party is over”, was founded by social media personality Luis Pérez Fernández in early 2024 and now already rivals the Sumar party of Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Díaz, who obtained the same number of MEPs.

SALF received almost 5 per cent of the votes in Spain, ahead of more consolidated parties such as the progressive Podemos, the former coalition partner of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s Socialist Party, and the separatist Junts per Catalunya party of Carles Puigdemont.

Fernández, better known as Alvise, has been a controversial figure in Spanish politics, earning the praise of an online community of more than a million followers, and criticism from the Sánchez government.

According to the PM, together with the People’s Party (PP) and Vox, SALF was one of the “three lists of the international far-right” for the EP elections.

The 34-year-old, Sevillian born influencer Alvise became a critical voice regarding the Sánchez government during the Covid pandemic.

He has also gained a reputation for revealing what he has presented as damaging information about some politicians and the media.

In 2020, he claimed to have information showing that the former mayor of Madrid, Manuela Carmena, allegedly received a personal respirator during the height of Covid “to avoid going to a public hospital like the rest of Spaniards”. Critics claimed Alvise was guilty of making unverified claims.

In 2020, he was sued for suggesting the fact-checking news outlet Newtral had links with the Socialist Party. The judge dismissed that lawsuit.

According to Alvise, “Spain has become a party for the corrupt.”

SALF celebrated its EP results at a disco in Madrid city centre the night of June 9.

In a speech there targeting the traditional Spanish “left and right-wing caste”, Alvise said: “We do not want more resources for the police to go after narco-traffickers, criminals, and the corrupt.

“We want to put you in jail, and the same with Pedro Sánchez.”

Alvise addressed the Spanish premier directly during his speech, saying: “Pedro you are on your way out.

“You better hide in a trunk because we are going to throw you in jail.”

Alvise had also complained the mainstream media did not give him the same exposure granted to other political groups during the campaign for the European elections.

It is as yet unclear what group SALF will join up with in the European Parliament.

Influencer-led Spanish party secures three Euro MPs – Brussels Signal

On today’s Deprogrammed, host Harrison Pitt of the European Conservative is joined by political commentator Connor Tomlinson of Lotus Eaters and special guest Calum Nicholson, Director of the Climate Policy Institute in Budapest, Director of Research at the Danube Institute. They discuss the politicization of science by managerial elites at the global and national level and why Labour leader Kier Starmer’s World Economic Forum agenda will ruin Britain.

Three acts of seemingly random—and certainly horrific—violence on Monday, June 10th, collectively raise the question: what is going on in Germany?

The country, which is about to begin hosting the European football championship, has seen around 60 knife attacks per day in recent years.

One of those which took place earlier this week was fatal. A 23-year-old woman was “suddenly” stabbed by a “previously unknown person” during an evening jog in Schermbeck on the Lower Rhine, according to national media. Officials are still appealing for information about the unidentified attacker.

But the alleged attackers involved in the other two instances of sudden violence, which were not fatal but did result in the victims receiving severe injuries, were caught and have been questioned.

A 32-year-old Turkish citizen was arrested on Monday evening following a knife attack on a regional railway in Saarland. This saw a 21-year-old “suddenly attacked” by a man reportedly unknown to him. He was stabbed in the throat and left “seriously injured.”

Also, at noon in the city of Frankfurt, a 41-year-old Ukrainian woman sitting on a park bench was stabbed in the “head and neck from behind with a cutter knife,” according to NIUS. While trying to escape, she is said to have stumbled and the perpetrator “continued to stab her.” A 19-year-old Afghan was later arrested in connection to the crime and is now being investigated for attempted murder.

Responding to this attack, AfD politician Georg Pazderski insisted that “Germany has a problem with violent illegal migrants.”

One particularly dramatic portrayal of this occurred just before the turn of the month when a knifeman brutally stabbed a vocal critic of Islamism, a police officer, and several bystanders at a rally in Mannheim city centre. A spokesman for the group that organised the rally and which is opposed to what it describes as the “Islamisation” of Europe said: “This was not an attack, but an act of terror.”
