Two people were injured by two knife wounds in the centre of Genk on Saturday evening at around 8 pm, after two groups with a total of forty youths clashed.

Afghan youths from the asylum centre in Lanaken and Turkish youths from Genk sought to confront with each other. Two knife attacks occurred during the skirmishes. In the first stabbing at the train station in Genk, an 18-year-old from Genk was slightly injured.

In the Klokstraat, an 18-year-old young man from Genk was also stabbed with a knife. The young man was given first aid and was then taken to hospital. The young man was seriously injured, but his life is no longer in danger. The group of forty youths then made their way to the district of Kolderbos (Genk). The local police were immediately on the scene with several patrols.The police were able to arrest a total of 19 youths aged 15 to 25 from Lanaken in the Kolderbos district and on the Augustuslaan and Bilzerweg in Zutendaal. The youths from the asylum centre were taken to the police stations in Genk, Bilzen and Hasselt for questioning. The forensic laboratory carried out a thorough examination of the traces at the crime scene. After identification and questioning, 18 youths were released.

A 17-year-old suspect from Lanaken is still being questioned. The Limburg public prosecutor’s office will decide on his possible arrest at a later date. The police in Carma are conducting further investigations, it was announced on Sunday.

According to information from L’Indépendant, a drunk man stormed into the Christmas service and shouted to everyone that he was a Muslim.

The 52-year-old Moroccan was very quickly arrested by the police forces deployed to secure the places of worship during the holidays and taken to police headquarters for the necessary sobering up. No charges were filed.

The South African Ministry of Health has announced that it has suspended all quarantine measures for asymptomatic Covid-19 cases with immediate effect, official broadcaster SABC News reported. This applies to both the unvaccinated and vaccinated people.

In addition, contact tracking will be discontinued – except in cases of so-called cluster outbreaks.

According to a statement by the ministry, people with a positive Corona test but without symptoms would no longer be obliged to self-isolate.

There is also no longer the obligation to submit a negative Corona test before resuming work after an isolation period of eight days. All infected people should be able to return to work after eight to ten days without presenting a test.

The majority of new cases are incidentally in the Western Cape, which is also the most vaccinated province. Overall, South Africa has a low vaccination rate of around 20 percent.

British politician: Your immune system is now broken because of the vaccinations you took and there's nothing you can do about this Omicron variant.

Right.

Sorry bout that.

Recent rulings from Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal have stipulated that national law can take precedence over EU law, raising tensions with Brussels and prompting the EU’s move toward legal action. The European Commission on Wednesday announced it was starting an infringement procedure against Poland “for undermining EU law and the independence of its national judiciary.”

It means that the European Commission does not want compromise, it wants capitulation. It is demanding more and more and has been creating new fronts and conflicts. Its goal is to turn Poland, and later other countries — with the exception of the strongest ones which direct it — into actual colonies of EU institutions.

Now, the Commission has targeted the Polish Constitutional Tribunal. It has done so because the Tribunal has been building a “constitutional shield” meant to prevent the externally inspired anarchy in the judiciary and protect Poland against the European Court of justice (ECJ) judicial imperialism.

According to the Commission, the Polish Tribunal “no longer meets the requirements of an independent and impartial court established by law, as demanded by the EU treaty.”

How could it fulfill these requirements if it has been making the decisions that it has?

Everything that the EU does not like, that is an obstacle to it, “does not meet the requirements.” If it is not obstacle and abides to clear and hidden instructions, then it is legal European and of exemplary.

It is hard to not get the impression that the Commission, irritated by the independence of the Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal (which has an obligation to defend sovereignty!), is exacting its revenge. It wants to give a harsh lesson to all of Europe, which is about ensuring that no one else will reach for the constitutional shield. The victim is meant to be silent and has no right to defend themselves.

Yet, there is also something else in the Commission’s decision: the correct assertion that the Tribunal plays an absolutely crucial role in the Polish state system. This is how it was designed during the last days of communism in Poland in the 1980s. It was meant to be a third chamber of parliament, able to block any deeper attempts at reforming the country. This is why the Poland’s tribunal court received such powerful authority.

When the court fell out of the hands of Poland’s liberal establishment, its fringe turned against its previous bearers. The Tribunal is more effective at changing how the country works than parliament, which is always at risk of a presidential veto, which is why the Tribunal is a key bulwark in the fight for independence.

Now, the heaviest artillery has been drawn up against Poland.

Our own weapons are of a smaller caliber. This is why Poles cannot be intimidated if they want to win. This is what Brussels is hoping, by believing that Poles will finally want to be left alone, even at the cost of their independence.

So, Poles must fight — on the constitutional battleground and every other. The Polish right cannot give up Poland’s independence, even if it means paying a very high price for it.

A Jewish man was brutally attacked in a London, UK supermarket by an assailant who threatened to “find a Jew to kill.”

London police are looking for a suspect who can be seen on CCTV footage they have released, the Jewish Chronicle reported.

The attack took place in West Hampstead in north London at 7:20 p.m. on December 2, during Hanukkah, but is only now being made public by police who are actively searching for the assailant.

The victim was attacked as he was on his way home from work and leaving a West Hampstead subway station.

The suspect was initially vandalizing a public menorah when he accosted the victim, demanding to know if he was Jewish.

He told him, “I want to find a Jew to kill.”

The victim immediately called the police, but was told that the incident would not be given high priority. He subsequently took shelter in a Marks and Spencer store.

The alleged attacker put on a face mask and followed him, screaming: “You are Jewish. I am going to kill you.”

The attacker flew into a rage and began punching the victim repeatedly, including in the head.

He yelled at him: “I am not leaving until you are dead.”

The Jewish man tried to run away but the assailant followed him, shouting in Arabic that “I will kill you now, you Jew” while implying he was in possession of a knife.

The suspect made a cutthroat gesture across his neck and then left the store.

“This was an extremely nasty antisemitic assault that involved threats of serious violence,” said the Community Security Trust in a Twitter post. “We have been supporting the victim and working with [the police] since the incident.”

Stephen Silverman, Director of investigations and enforcement at Campaign Against Antisemitism, told the Chronicle: “The delayed response of the police, despite the close proximity of a police station just up the road, is deeply concerning, and the result is that a man who apparently wants to kill Jews is now at liberty.”

He added: “This is the most heinous of a considerable number of antisemitic crimes that we have reported over the course of Hanukkah. The sad truth is that our nation’s capital is not nearly as safe as it should be for Jewish people who wish to celebrate a festival or, in this case, simply go about their daily lives.”

The London Metropolitan Police responded in a statement.

“We are aware of comments made in relation to this incident, specifically on the police response time and the prioritization of the call,” they said. “Each call to the police is graded based on the information available at the time and in this case, the suspect no longer being in the area meant it did not require the highest priority response.”

They explained that “officers are still allocated to attend non-priority calls to gather evidence and commence investigations but the target time for a response is slightly longer.”

Noting that “a second call was received at during which the caller confirmed the suspect had returned,” they said that call was “graded as a priority requiring an immediate response and officers were dispatched to the scene.”

The New Year’s card proposed by the city of Marseille shocked the conservative opposition a few days before the New Year. The reason: in the photo, the cross of the Basilica Notre-Dame de la Garde was removed from its dome, France 3 reported in an article published on Thursday December the 23rd. This detail caught the attention of numerous local politicians, such as Valérie Boyer, who addressed the city council on Twitter. The Les Républicains (LR) senator of the Bouches-du-Rhône department reacted not without irony: “Thank you to the city administration for being so attached to our traditions, our roots and our identity. After the disappearance of Merry Christmas (which has been replaced by Happy Feast), we learn that Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde has no cross. The Virgin Mary could be next?”.

Merci à la municipalité @marseille d'être si attachée à nos traditions, à nos racines et à notre identité. Après la disparition du #JoyeuxNoël (remplacé par #BonnesFêtes) nous apprenons que #NotreDameDeLaGarde n'a pas de croix. La Vierge Marie pourrait être la prochaine ? pic.twitter.com/CxctUZxXj0

The same opinion was expressed by Yves Moraine, former president of the LR group in the city council of the city. On the same social network, he addressed the mayor of the Mediterranean city, Benoît Payan, directly to find out the reasons for this decision: “Mr Mayor, the dome of Notre Dame de la Garde is crowned by a cross, why remove it?” Then resentment was also expressed in Paris, where a number of politicians of the political right in turn expressed their incomprehension.

This is particularly true of former minister Nadine Morano, who took the opportunity to castigate the “Marseille Spring” coalition at the head of the city administration. On Twitter, she called this majority “anti-France” after discovering the controversial greeting card. “They are destroyers of our civilisation, our culture and our Christian roots,” she deplored. This view was apparently shared by Gilbert Collard, former deputy for the Gard department, who expressed his anger at the “small-minded and Stalinist exterminators of our history”.

For its part, the city administration stressed to France 3 that the New Year’s card for 2022 was in fact nothing new. Audrey Gatian, the deputy mayor in charge of roads and parking, explained that this photo had been on display at city hall “[for] years”. She then shared that it was mainly a “stylised view of [Marseille], with the towers out of order, for example”. She concluded on regional radio: “This photo has been in use for years by MPs, even by Madame Boyer herself! This story is taking on ridiculous proportions…”.

Thomas Hobbes is credited with originating the “final straw” aphorism during a theological debate in the late 1600s. Speaking of the additive effects of many small causes, “the last feather may be said to break the Horses back.”  This became “the straw that broke the camel’s back,” referring to a final small action that caused an effect out of proportion to this one straw if prior straws are not considered.

The omicron variant of COVID-19 is the final straw that has destroyed any vestige of public credibility in the Democrat party. 

While 73 percent of new COVID cases are omicron, only one American has died with this variant. That man had underlying pre-existing medical issues and was in the high-risk group. Furthermore, we only know he died with the viral antigen present. Autopsy results have not been released to explain whether he died with or because of the virus.

Next fact comes from South Africa where omicron was first reported. Their experience, admittedly short-term, shows that omicron is behaving predictably. As COVID adapts, from alpha to omicron and thus presumably 13 mutations, the virus becomes more contagious but less dangerous medically. In other words, omicron is not a significant medical hazard. So, when President Biden warns of a winter of “illness and death,” don’t believe him.

The credibility of the Biden administration is completely gone, destroyed by its own hands, through deceit, underhanded tricks to shut down medical debate, overt power grabs, and worst by far, suppression of constitutional freedoms. A New York Post poll (12/15/21) that concluded “nearly two-thirds of Americans doubt they can trust Biden.” 

While progressives are temporarily in control of the Democrat party, the White House, and both houses of Congress, they are trying to remake the U.S. along socialist lines. The dictatorial handling of COVID is consistent with a totalitarian approach: ignore or remake the constitution, reject the rule of law, and restore tyranny.

With parents around the nation loudly rejecting CRT; with workers asserting their right to choose even when risking their pensions; with local groups voting for “constitutional” leadership; by SEALS refusing orders to vaccinate; and 900,000 people publicly repudiating Washington’s false COVID narrative by signing the Great Barrington Declaration, Americans at the grassroots level Just Say no to progressive-Democrat-socialist-communist policies.
