Schemes to hand “asylum seekers” priority access to NHS treatment have sparked outrage after it emerged migrants are being given “preferential medical treatment” over British taxpayers.
One scheme, called “987 Inclusion Health”, allows certain patients including “undocumented migrants” to gain an “A&E level of access” to healthcare – without A&E wait times.
Homeless people and drug users also qualify for the priority access at London’s University College Hospital – while similar initiatives have also popped up around the country.
And in Stoke-on-Trent, one NHS team helps “failed asylum seekers, many of whom are homeless and destitute with no recourse to public funds” to gain access to GPs and dental care, while south London community centres offer “walk-in services” to refused asylum seekers and undocumented migrants.
The schemes have sparked uproar from critics – not least the former Health Secretary Steve Barclay.
He told The Telegraph: “It is outrageous that those here illegally are prioritised over British taxpayers, and it reinforces, once again, the concern that the NHS has become an international service, not a national health service.
“There should not be preferential treatment for those here illegally at our expense, and I think the public will be outraged to discover that’s the case.
“NHS England should give clear answers as to why.”
Refused asylum seekers can still register with a GP and receive primary care free of charge, regardless of their immigration status.
In Scotland and Wales, they are also entitled to the same level of hospital treatment as locals, while in England, any A&E visit is still free – though further treatment is paid-for at 150 per cent of the national NHS rate.
Patients can get around paying if they can prove they are unable to return to their home country, or are receiving help from the local authority due to a disability or being made homeless, however.
Refugee Council chief executive Enver Solomon said: “We welcome the fact that Britain’s nurses and doctors – many of whom come from migrant and refugee backgrounds themselves – provide healthcare for those seeking asylum so they can access essential medical support when they need it.”
But Dr Karol Sikora, the leading cancer specialist, said prioritising “certain categories” of people formed part of a “misguided diversity agenda”.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said: “Welcome to Keir Starmer’s Britain. This is unfair, it’s wrong, and only Reform will end it.”
While the party’s deputy leader Richard Tice added: “This sums up broken Britain. Whilst hard-working British people are waiting weeks for GP appointments and hours on end in A&E, illegals get to cut to the front of the queue.
“The Tories started this and now Labour continue to make a mockery of those that pay into the system for these services.
“Reform UK are clear, those that try to come over in boats will be turned back and those that have already come via boats will be deported and not get special treatment.”
A spokesman for the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) told The Telegraph: “It is vital that all vulnerable members of society, including asylum seekers, are able to access the healthcare they need, and it has been a legal requirement under successive governments for local NHS commissioners to take the right steps through individual contracts to enable this.
“Our £26billion investment in the NHS and reforms to the health service will make sure that it’s there for everyone, once again.”
British doctors continue to be removed from medical practice for warning patients of the dangers of the so-called mRNA COVID “vaccines.”
In December 2024, consultant psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Armstrong was struck off the medical register following his description of pharmaceutical companies as “evil.”
Armstrong had appeared in a video shared on BitChute in which he described the COVID regime and the attendant “vaccines” as part of a “deception on a grand scale” – saying the injections put people’s lives at risk. In the video, titled Navigating the Truth-Deception Duality, he said:
My message is clear to everyone: don’t take any more. You’ve a doctor here, he’s got his licence on the line – given it up. Don’t take any more of the injections. These guys are evil.
The tribunal which deprived Armstrong of his right to practice medicine concluded he was “highly likely in future to act so as to put patients at unwarranted risk of harm” – as the Daily Mailreported on January 2.
According to the minutes of the tribunal, an anonymous email alerted the General Medical Council to Armstrong’s video – which had been initially released on July 17, 2023.
The tribunal has found that Armstrong’s use of his medical credentials to warn the public of the dangers of the so-called vaccines is a violation of medical ethics, stating the physician had “undermined public health information and posed a serious risk to members of the public who may have placed reliance on his opinions.”
In addition:
The Tribunal found that Dr. Armstrong’s statements in the video about his medical colleagues was an attack on the medical profession as a whole.
Armstrong’s case demonstrates that despite mounting evidence that the “vaccines” are far from “100% safe and effective,” the lives of medical professionals continue to be ruined for saying so.
To say, as Armstrong does, that the public has been deceived is to state the obvious fact that the “vaccines” neither prevented infection nor transmission – as the authorities said they did. What is more, a range of adverse health conditions, including death, have been proven to have resulted from taking the experimental injections, heavily promoted by state-backed media, along with government and medical bodies worldwide.
Armstrong’s remarkable presentation presents the contrast between truth and deception. He argues that mass media has been used to create a sort of false reality, parallel to the truth. This, he says, produces the “duality” in the title of his video. Armstrong is explaining how the “huge agenda” behind the COVID “vaccines” and mandates makes use of mass media propaganda to present an alternate “reality” – in which taking experimental injections makes perfect sense.
He refers to evidence for his claims throughout his presentation, saying he is concerned with demonstrating the reality behind the “mass deception” taking place in service of the COVID regime.
Armstrong is far from alone in making such a bold claim. As LifeSiteNews has reported, British academic Dr. David A. Hughes has published a comprehensive account of the COVID regime – which he says was the opening campaign in an “omniwar” to replace our way of life with a “permanent bio-digital tyranny.”
Hughes took three years to complete the detailed research behind his book, “Covid-19” – Psychological Operations, and the War for Technocracy, which he has released to readers free of charge.
Hughes has left his academic career as a result of his findings. As with Armstrong, Hughes was faced with a decision to speak the truth and risk his livelihood – or keep silent and “stay safe.”
Such cases demonstrate the cost of integrity in professional life today. Medical practitioners like Armstrong still face ruin if they take seriously their Hippocratic oath to “first, do no harm.” As with Hughes, the loss of a secure and tenured career is the price paid for the publication of the truth, regardless of personal consequence.
These facts explain, in part, why so few professionals have spoken out against a dubious regime of fear, propaganda, and public harm. To remain faithful to the truth, and to serve the public interest rather than that of vested interests, has been shown to be extremely damaging.
Along with heart conditions, blood clots, sudden deaths, the enormous transfer of wealth from working people to billionaires and corporations, and the lasting damage done to small businesses and communities, the COVID-19 regime produced a climate of fear.
This is not only a factor in mass deception – as Armstrong argued – but is a form of psychological warfare, as is evidenced in Hughes’ book.
These operations were not confined to terrorizing the public through propaganda. An organized online campaign of psychological warfare has been directed against COVID regime critics in the U.K.
U.K-based Big Brother Watch published a report in February 2023 showing that British Military Intelligence units had been involved in online “counter-disinformation” operations, targeting critics of the COVID regime:
Big Brother Watch’s investigation identified a number of MPs, journalists, top academics and campaigners whose social media posts had been monitored and logged in secret reports.
The then-U.K. Defence Secretary, Ben Wallace, admitted that the army’s secretive 77th Brigade (intelligence) unit had been covertly spying on British citizens – despite assurances in the past that they “do not, and have never, conducted any kind of action against British citizens” and that “all work is internationally focused.”
Big Brother Watch interviewed a whistleblower from the 77th Brigade whose revelations prompted the admission in Parliament that military intelligence units were monitoring Britons expressing “views critical of the government’s handling of the pandemic.”
The Army Intelligence unit is also linked to an online harassment group known as “The Mutton Crew,” whose activities have been documented in a report by an anonymous journalist known only as “John,” author of a Substack called The Sentiment Inspector.
In a report on the Mutton Crew, “John” documents a history of “the Dark Forces Behind Social Media Manipulation” in Britain reaching back to 2011.
As “John” reports that, “[b]y 2019, they were running thousands of fake social media accounts across platforms like Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, and Reddit.”
John explains that “the crew’s tactics were sophisticated, using well-coordinated campaigns of harassment, misinformation, and threats.”
“They didn’t just attack individuals – they aimed to destroy careers, reputations, and lives.”
In a separate report on the Army’s 77th Brigade, “John” explains his need to maintain anonymity, as he documents his conversations with whistleblowers claiming that the Mutton Crew operate in tandem with British Military Intelligence.
These claims about The Mutton Crew are buttressed by another anonymous source, the U.S.-based medical practitioner ArkMedic – who published a report on the Crew in September 2022 claiming “They are part of the disinformation arm of the British Army.”
“Arkmedic” – who is cited in a recommendation for the Nobel Peace Prize published by France Soir – explained:
Having been a recipient of the treatment that the “Mutton Crew” dish out to people who disagree with them (or with the government’s propaganda on COVID or the COVID vaccines), I can safely attest that the mutton swarm invariably descends on anybody that does not toe the party line.
Given the extent and purpose of their operations, it is possible that the anonymous tipoff received by the British General Medical Council that resulted in the end of Dr. Armstrong’s medical career was sent by a member of the Mutton Crew.
It is a cruel irony that a principled and dutiful doctor such as Armstrong has seen his career ended on a charge of “scaremongering” – for daring to expose a regime based on the manufacture of terror and suffering.
As his case shows, the real danger to the public is not presented by men of integrity such as Armstrong – but by the powers at work in the shadows, determined to destroy the lives of those daring to take seriously their duty to defend humanity from harm.
Syria’s new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, did not shake hands with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock during their meeting in Damascus on Friday.
“Bild” writes that al-Sharaa did not reach out to Baerbock “just because she is a woman”
The Foreign Minister of France, Jean Noel Barrot, was also present at the meeting, with whom al-Sharaa shook hands.
They expressed their intention to establish new relations with Syria, in the first visit they made to this country, since the fall of the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
Speaking after meeting with al-Sharaan and visiting the French Embassy in Damascus, which has been closed since 2012, Barrot expressed optimism for the creation of a sovereign, stable and peaceful Syria.
“A few weeks ago a new hope was born, the hope for a Syria that is sovereign, stable and peaceful. We owe this hope to the determination and mobilization of the Syrians, whom I would like to congratulate today. This hope is still fragile and this is the reason why France will stand by the Syrians, as it has done for the last 13 years”, said the French minister, Barrot.
The German Minister Baerbock said that her visit to Syria is aimed at cooperation with the new leadership, but also mentioned the past related to “Al-Qaeda” of the rebel group that overthrew Assad.
“My trip today is a clear signal to Syrians: A new political beginning between Europe and Syria, between Germany and Syria, is possible. But we also hear and see the desire for modernization and understanding with other important actors. The goal now is for Syria to once again become a respected member of the international community,” said Baerbock.
During their stay in Damascus, the two ministers also met representatives of the Syrian civil society and visited the most notorious prison in Syria, the large Sednaya complex.
Since Assad’s ouster, Islamist rebels led by Sharaa’s Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group have tried to convince Arab countries and the international community that they will govern on behalf of all Syrians and not “export” it. Islamic revolution.
Germany and France plan to offer aid and technical advice to Syria as the country drafts a new constitution, Barrot has revealed.
The first rule of Muslim atrocities in the UK is that you’re not supposed to talk about them. Not long ago the Starmer regime unleashed a ruthless purge against anyone who mentioned that a Muslim terrorist had stabbed a bunch of little girls, declaring that it was a national emergency to shut down any speech on the matter.
But the topic of Pakistani Muslim ‘grooming gangs’ and the atrocities they committed against huge numbers of young English girls, and the role the authorities played in covering that up, has once again come to the surface.
The British authorities not only enabled and covered up for the Muslim rape gangs, but they arrested the parents and girls as young as 12 for even mentioning it. This level of treasonous horror is something that may not be discussed, but Musk suddenly began discussing it.
And the media is freaking out because the Starmer regime can’t simply send a few ‘lesbian nana’ bobbies to raid Musk’s digs the way they can most ordinary people in the UK.
Here’s a headline sample of the freakout.

In a regime built on lies about Islam, no one is prepared for the subject to be aired in public. The UK authorities, across the spectrum, have been complicit in allowing Islam to dominate the UK. It’s past time for a reckoning.
Part of the outrage here has been directed at Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips for rejecting requests for an inquiry into the Pakistani Muslim sex grooming gangs.
Despite her vocal opposition to violence against women and girls, Phillips may be worried about opening herself up to allegations of Islamophobia after nearly losing her seat to a pro-Gaza independent candidate last year.
Islam.
British politicians have been bribed, suborned, corrupted and intimidated into remaining quiet about Islamization. Those young girls paid the price.
Just a few days before the commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the Islamist attack on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper, the French authorities have arrested an Algerian Tiktoker based in Brittany, who was using his TikTok account to invite his followers to launch attacks in France. The man was the subject of a deportation procedure.
Based in Brest, Brittany, and known on the network as Zazou Youcef, the man, followed by 400,000 subscribers, had for several days been calling on his followers to commit acts of violence on French soil against opponents of the Algerian regime.
An initial video, since deleted, was posted on his account on New Year’s Eve—a period always marked by waves of violence in areas with a high concentration of immigrant populations. He explicitly called for French people to be shot on January 1st: “We’re going to do to you what we did in the 90s. We’re going to shoot you. You want to go out on January 1st? Shoot them, we’ve got to use the gunpowder,” he explained on camera, in Arabic, while miming shooting with his hands.
His violent remarks mixed antisemitism with anti-French hatred: “The Algerian authorities know me. Shoot the French and we’ll bury them with the Jews,” he continued.
His calls for violence then escalated in a second video, which has not yet been deleted. “We are at war,” he declared as he filmed himself in the streets of Brest, before continuing with a barrage of insults and filthy language, once again calling for the use of force, while miming throat-cutting gestures. His videos, although in Arabic, went viral within hours on social networks, attracting the attention of the authorities.
Youcef A., aged 25, had already been sentenced to one year’s imprisonment in December 2023 for his involvement in the riots in the summer of 2023. With other accomplices, he had set fire to a tennis court and damaged sports equipment. The sentence was obviously without a committal order, as the man was at liberty and had not served his prison sentence. He was also subject to an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF) issued by the Finistère prefecture on April 18th, 2024.
On Friday, January 3rd, Minister of the Interior Bruno Retailleau announced his arrest on X, under the slogan “Don’t let anything get past us.”
The case of Zazou Youcef is far from isolated. Algerian anti-regime activist Chawki Benzehra has identified other problematic profiles, such as ‘Imadtintin’ who has just posted a video with 858k views calling for people to be burnt alive, killed, and raped on French soil.
It is to be hoped that the Algerian government will not stand in the way of Youcef’s permanent return to Algeria, and that the French authorities will take firm action against the other Algerian influencers currently being identified.
My X feed suddenly started featuring posts about the infamous and utterly heinous story that Muslim rape gangs in Northern England had, for more than three decades (from the late 1970s to 2013), exploited hundreds of thousands of British children. Worse, they were enabled by British police and politicians afraid of “inflaming tensions” with the Muslim population.
Why the sudden interest in an 11-year-old story? It turns out that Elon Musk, who is unafraid of being imprisoned by Britain’s increasingly totalitarian government, learned about what happened and went on an X rampage, forcing the story into the daylight, including PM Keir Starmer’s apparent role in the cover0up.
Here’s what I was able to piece together:
Beginning in the 1970s and accelerating hard and fast in the 1990s, Yorkshire, once the most English region in the UK, became the primary destination outside of London for Pakistani immigrants. In 2013, news broke that Muslim rape gangs had been sexually exploiting non-Muslim children in Rotherham, a town in Yorkshire. That was terrible, but what made the story a scandal was that the police and government had known about these gangs and had done nothing for fear of “inflaming” the Muslim population.
As time went by, it became clear that the grooming wasn’t limited to Rotherham. In one town and city after another across Britain (although mostly in the North and the Midlands), the same pattern was revealed: Muslims were horrifically exploiting non-Muslim British children while the authorities deliberately turned a blind eye.
The past might have stayed in the past were it not for Elon Musk, who became aware of a debate on X about Muslim immigration to the UK. The debate started by talking about Muslim immigration generally, with a leftist saying it worked wonderfully and Sam Bidwell, a conservative, giving chapter and verse about its failures. In that tweet, he said, “We still have dozens of towns which bear the scars of Pakistani grooming gangs, who targeted young girls because they were white.”
Naturally, a leftist challenged him to name those “dozens” of towns. Bidwell obliged with a list of 20 towns (and commenters added more), and Elon Musk took notice:
You want some examples of British towns scarred by migrant sex abuse gangs?
When Elon Musk notices something, the world notices. On January 1, while physical bombs went off in New Orleans and Las Vegas, Musk ignited a fact bomb on X when he retweeted a post by Ian Miles Cheong about the rape gangs:
The short video tells the story of just one exploited child and the police and judicial response (which was to victimize the victim). The moment Musk reposted that tweet, he must have started receiving a lot of information, not just about what happened in the past, but about PM Keir Starmer and his government.
Suddenly, Musk was on fire, retweeting to the tens of millions who read his tweets story after story about the horrors the Muslim gangs inflicted on British children and about institutional British complicity, with everyone—the government, the police, and the media—covering up and downplaying what happened.
Musk also retweeted this thread (which I urge you to read), giving a detailed history about the rape gangs and the institutional cover-up.
After just a few of these retweets, Musk stated the obvious, which is that many in the British government need to go to jail and that Reform UK is Britain’s only hope:
There are now hundreds, perhaps thousands, of posts about the rape gangs flooding X, all because Musk got hold of a tweet thread about immigration. Tommy Robinson, whom the British government has persecuted relentlessly for speaking out about the Islamic gangs, got Musk’s attention, too:
This revisiting of past events might have died there were it not for the fact that Musk discovered PM Starmer’s role in the grooming gang story. First, he retweeted a report that, back in October, Jess Phillips, the Labour Party’s ironically named “Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls,” blocked a nationwide inquiry into the gangs, saying that, while rape is bad and inquiries are good, all inquiries should be conducted at a purely local level, leaving the British government out of it:
Musk was not pleased:
(Musk later discovered that the Tories were equally complicit in covering up what happened. The British government, left and right, is a club.)
And then Musk discovered that Starmer himself may have been part of the cover-up:
That Musk is forcing awareness on the British people matters because the British thought police are out there. If you make people (read: Muslims or so-called “transgenders”) uncomfortable (read: angry), you will be arrested. Freedom of speech and thought is dead in Britain, and that’s true whether Labour or Tory leads the government. Their politicians are afraid of alienating Muslim voters, who now make up sizable, activist voting blocs. If you’re in the government and try to speak, you will be silenced.
This has been a long post, and it could easily be ten times as long. I’ll leave you with two tweets from this morning, both affirming that Musk wants to bring down the Labour government (and, as he said, get Reform UK in power):
And as you’ll inevitably hear leftists shriek about Musk’s billions, please note that Musk isn’t effecting this change by using his money to drive secret backroom dealings. He’s doing it solely by exposing people to the truth—especially the people of Britain, who can almost certainly handle the truth but who are forbidden to speak it.
Germans living in the southwest of the country were told to limit electricity use on the morning of January 3 over issues to do with the local grid.
Regional grid operator TransnetBW announced on the evening of January 2 that local demand had led to power lines between the north and southwest of Germany becoming overloaded, leaving the State of Baden-Württemberg short.
As a result, many people in the region were urged via phone app notification to use as little electricity as possible between the hours of 8am and 11am on January 3.
Regarding the request, TransnetBW insisted there was “no need to fear power outages” but that it needed to import additional power from abroad and bring online auxiliary fossil fuel power stations to keep the lights on.
“To stabilise the grid, TransnetBW must draw on large amounts of electricity from conventional power plants and neighbouring countries,” the company wrote on its StromGedacht electricity app.
“With your help, the high costs of these measures for the general public can be reduced and CO2 emissions saved.
“There is no risk of a power outage. However, TransnetBW must do more than usual to keep the network stable.”
Residents were in particular asked to refrain from charging their laptops and electric cars during the morning, as well as to refrain from using energy-intensive domestic appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, ovens, electric heaters and vacuum cleaners.
The company added that any devices that could be operated via battery power instead of the mains should be during these hours.
The Baden-Württemberg authorities bragged on December 21 about the state having a “super-green” energy grid.
The region previously sported three nuclear power plants. All have been shut down under the outgoing government as part of Germany’s nationwide nuclear phase-out.
Prominent figures in Germany’s center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) — expected to become the country’s largest party after next month’s elections — have confirmed a policy proposal to deport asylum seekers once they have been convicted of two crimes. However, the rival Alternative for Germany (AfD) has already slammed the proposal as a weak proposal that will do little to stem the crime crisis involving foreigners.
The move is designed to signal a tougher stance on migration policy, with CDU General Secretary Carsten Linnemann telling WELT TV the country needed to act decisively against criminal offenders with residence permits, advocating changes to Germany’s Residence Act to ensure that committing a crime results in automatic expulsion after a second offense.
“We need to end the cycle of repeat offenders,” Linnemann declared, referencing recent attacks, including the Christmas market massacre last month in Magdeburg, which reignited calls for stricter measures.
Crimes such as theft, assault, drug offenses, and fare evasion on public transport would all count as intentional acts warranting deportation, he added.
Linnemann clarified that these measures would apply to individuals with valid residence permits, not those already obligated to leave the country.
The CDU’s proposed migration overhaul extends beyond criminal deportation. Union Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz echoed Linnemann’s stance, advocating deportation to unstable countries like Syria and Afghanistan. While acknowledging Syria’s instability, Merz argued that exceptions should not shield criminals, including members of the Assad regime or its militias, from being turned back at Germany’s borders.
“We cannot allow Germany to become a safe haven for those who committed atrocities elsewhere,” Merz said, emphasizing the importance of screening migrants at the border. He also criticized the current strain on Germany’s infrastructure, citing overwhelmed municipalities and calling for a separation between labor migration and asylum migration.
The right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD), however, criticized the CDU’s proposals as political posturing. AfD Chancellor candidate Alice Weidel accused Merz of failing to act despite a potential majority in the Bundestag, highlighting the Union’s refusal to collaborate with the AfD despite its gaining popularity and growing electoral success at the state level and expected gains in February’s federal election.
The party also wrote in a statement that the “‘deportation hammer’ is a CDU smokescreen: With us, criminals won’t even be able to enter the country.”
The CDU’s push for reform comes amid rising public frustration over migration and growing support for stricter policies, with the AfD gaining traction as an alternative voice. Because with consistently protected borders, we will ensure that the mass import of criminals is already prevented in advance. The CDU would have had the chance to implement such measures a long time ago if it had agreed to corresponding initiatives of the AfD — but it’s just about campaign spectacle, to then coalition with the Greens after the election and leave everything to the old Merkel politics.”
The party also raises the question of why the CDU is only waiting to act after the second offene.
“One wonders on what grounds Mr. Linnemann wants to have the right of residence abolished only during the second offense. Why not after the first one? If you don’t adhere to our culture and values and stand out here with crime, we can’t use them – and they shouldn’t even come to us. From the CDU, which has been the Prime Minister in Saxony-Anhalt for more than 20 years, and in the last year, only 449 people deported out of more than 5,000 people who had to leave, we have nothing to expect for our safety.”
The anti-mass-migration party has gained notable support from influential voices such as U.S. billionaire Elon Musk in recent times, who recently claimed that the AfD is Germany’s “only chance” to turn the tide on the demographic and cultural change enveloping the country.
With Westerners excusing terrorism, who needs Islamists?
July 14, 2016, Nice. During the fireworks festival, an Islamic terrorist kills 87 people, adults and children, under a truck that claimed to be carrying ice cream to the celebration of the French Revolution.
Four days later, the famous philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, disciple and friend of Jacques Derrida, publishes an article in Libération entitled “A truck launched”. Despite having gone almost unnoticed, the article has lost none of its interest:
“A truck launched to run over children – among others – gives an unbearable image of nihilism. Nihilism itself names an end: that of our history and our civilization (…) It is not enough to declare war on it. We must attack ourselves, climb aboard and dismantle the mad trucks of our supposed progress, our fantasies of domination and our commercial obesity”.
Clear? Terrorists and Westerners are the same, for our little masters of thought.
The terrorist who killed 15 people with a pickup truck in New Orleans on New Year’s Day (what better way to start the year than with another Islamic massacre?) was named Shamsud-Din Jabbar.
The Wall Street Journal has a pretty good portrait: a native Texan, an Army veteran (he also served in Afghanistan), a state university graduate, and a father of three, he had worked his way up the corporate ladder. Jabbar was an attentive neighbor who regularly asked a retiree if she needed anything and had given her a vacuum cleaner, washer, and dryer when he moved in. A model citizen. The New York Times reveals that he had converted to Islam.
This time, no taqiya, like there was in the case of the attacker who drove the car into the Christmas market in Magdeburg (by the way, the security of the German market was contracted to a company called “Mecca Security” !! some stories are so absurd that they can’t be invented).
But according to the official media, a “vehicle” killed 15 people in New Orleans.
Worse than the media is the legion of Western idiots who say that Islamic terrorism is a consequence of capitalism, colonialism, Israel, white and Jewish supremacy, in short, it is our fault, the West.
The Islamic terrorist who killed the British MP David Amess in the church is the son of a former advisor to the prime minister of Somalia.
Poverty and deprivation are not, as the fatuous John Kerry said, “the main cause of terrorism.” Islam is.
Syed Rizwan Farook, a thirty-year-old Muslim of Pakistani origin, and his Saudi wife Tashfeen Malik, unloaded their semi-automatic rifles on the employees of a center for the disabled in California, killing 14 people during a Christmas party, the favorite season for massacres. Farook was an American citizen and worked as an inspector at the county health department. He earned seventy thousand dollars a year.
A graduate in engineering, his father a public works employee, his sister an elementary school teacher, Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez killed four marines in a recruitment center in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Michael Adebowale, the terrorist who slaughtered British soldier Lee Regby in the heart of London, had a bright future ahead of him. At school, his teachers had chosen him as a “model student”.
Take Aafia Siddiqui, one of Al Qaeda’s Amazons, she is a neurologist who graduated from MIT and was sentenced to 86 years in prison.
And don’t forget the psychiatrist who, shouting “Allahu Akbar”, massacred his comrades at Fort Hood. Thirteen dead. Dr. Nidal Hassan.
The son of a wealthy banker who studied at one of the most prestigious universities in the world, University College London (in terms of academic results, it is the fourth university in the world) and lived in the chic heart of the English capital – that was Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the attacker of the Christmas flight Amsterdam-Detroit. He lived on the fifth floor of a building on Mansfield Street. Neoclassical columns, an Art Nouveau door with a large basket of wrought iron roses, a few blocks from Oxford Street, where an apartment costs around two million euro.
And there is Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, one of the terrorists who killed Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal journalist beheaded because he was Jewish. Sheikh is the son of a wealthy carpet merchant and had graduated from the London School of Economics.
Aqsa Mahmood, one of the most high-profile women in ISIS, lived in Pollokshields, one of the rich neighborhoods of Glasgow. Her father is the first Pakistani cricketer in Scotland. All their children went to private school.
Omar Khan Sharif, who blew himself up in a Tel Aviv cafe, attended one of the UK’s most elite schools, Foremarke Hall in Repton, founded in 1557 and whose alumni included writers such as Roald Dahl, Christopher Isherwood and the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Ramsey.
Yet, from the intellectual left to Pope Francis, it is repeated that these Islamic fanatics are being recruited from among the world’s oppressed, from those who, in the words of Karl Marx, have “only their chains to lose.” No, my friends, they are religious fanatics intent on overthrowing the Western society that spawned them.
Faisal Shahzad, the terrorist behind the failed Times Square attack, had a $273,000 house and a father who is a high-ranking officer in the Pakistani army. And what about Abdelkarim Mejjati, the mastermind behind the Madrid massacres, who grew up in the exclusive Gauthier neighborhood of Casablanca to a very rich father and a mother who ran a chain of beauty salons?
Europe and America gave these terrorists everything: educational and job opportunities, entertainment and sexual freedom, salaries and social assistance and religious freedom. These terrorists have never seen a day of poverty in their lives.
The Paris terrorists rejected liberté, egalité and fraternité; the British jihadists rejected the sweet British multicultural lullabies; the Islamist who killed Theo van Gogh repudiated Dutch relativism and Palestinian Arab terrorists want to cleanse the earth of the Jewish presence.
But for those who think that the West deserves it in part and are now in the top echelons of politics, the media, and universities, it is much easier and more seductive to embrace the common belief that we are the guilty ones. Self-hatred, oikophobia, will end up killing us.
With Westerners like that, who needs Islamic terrorism?
