Police in Brandenburg have taken a teenager into custody for allegedly attempting to carry out an attack during the Christmas period. This was announced by the investigators. The suspect was arrested on Christmas Day and has been in custody ever since. Special police forces had previously searched his home in the Teltow-Fläming district.
The Potsdam public prosecutor’s office and the police have withheld further information in view of the young man’s personal rights. A spokeswoman for the public prosecutor’s office said that more detailed information could not be provided at present due to the ongoing investigations and the protection of privacy. The authorities also did not provide any further information on the plot. The investigators had become aware of suspected politically motivated plots during the Christmas period and on Christmas Eve the information had intensified, it said. The public prosecutor’s office also refused to say how the police obtained the decisive tip-off.
The newspaper ‘Tagesspiegel’ reported, citing security circles, that the suspect was 15 years old. He has German citizenship and his parents have an Iraqi migration background. Investigators are assuming an Islamist motive, even though the teenager is only said to have made vague plans to attack a church in Berlin during the Christmas period.
The German broadcaster rbb also reported that the target of the attack was a church in Berlin. The teenager had been in contact via Telegram with people suspected of belonging to the Islamic State (IS). According to the German public broadcaster ARD, a foreign intelligence service is said to have provided the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution with the decisive information. According to the Tagesspiegel, the Brandenburg law stipulates that a detention period of two weeks can be ordered in cases of suspected terrorism to avert danger, with the possibility of a two-week extension. Brandenburg’s Interior Minister Katrin Lange (SPD) emphasised: ‘It is necessary to comprehensively investigate all indications of a possible threat to public safety. This has been done.’ Lange expressed her gratitude to the officers involved for their efforts. The results of the further investigations now remained to be seen.
Germany has wiped itself out. Numbers like these show how quickly mass migration can eliminate a country’s future.
In Germany, 42% of people under age 15 were either foreign-born or had at least one foreign-born parent
Not all of these are third worlders. Germany, like the rest of Europe, has a lot of Eastern European immigrants. And it always did. When I was in Europe, I would find the number of ‘More-German-Than-Thou-Germans’ sneering at ‘Auslanders’ while their own last names were clearly Eastern European like Kapusta a little ridiculous. The numbers have increased though.
Germany can absorb Eastern Europeans. It has in the past. (Whether or not they want to is another matter.) But it can’t absorb a sizable number of the Jihadist immigrants that Frau ‘Wir Shaffen Das’ Merkel, currently peddling her oversized tome of memoirs, allowed in.
The above statistic shows why focusing on the overall population is misleading. It’s the under 15 population that matters. Bring in 1-2 million migrants with high birth rates and the rest is history.
So are you.
Here are some more statistics from the Wall Street Journal article.
More than 60% of the people in Germany who depend on government benefits for income are foreign-born or are second-generation migrants. Noncitizens, who make up 15% of the population, perpetrated 41% of all crimes in 2023, up from 28.7% in 2014, according to police statistics.
It’s only going to get worse unless Europe starts removing them.

A human rights charity is taking legal action against the British Transport Police (BTP) over a new guidance which allows men who claim a transgender status to strip search female detainees. The policy, implemented in September, permits male BTP staff to intimately search women on the condition that they have obtained a document which declares them to be legally female, known as a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC).
The charity behind the litigation, Sex Matters, works to “promote clarity about sex in law, policy, and language,” according to the organization’s mission statement, and contests that “people with beliefs about gender identity cannot impose them on others. A statement issued by the charity yesterday announced that Sex Matters had sent the BTP a letter detailing how the new guidance “is a breach of women’s rights and unlawful,” and asking that the policy be withdrawn.
Why is Sex Matters suing the British Transport Police? (a thread with all the documents)
On September 30th BTP released a new policy on searching.
BTP’s Transgender and Non-Binary Search Position guidance was issued internally on September 30 and obtained by a Freedom of Information (FOI) request the following month. According to the guidance, staff are urged to treat the possession of a GRC as a condition which takes precedence over certain sex-based rights guaranteed under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE).
“Certain provisions in law explicitly state that searches and other procedures may only be carried out by, or in the presence of, persons of the same sex as the person subject to the search,” acknowledges the policy. However, it goes on to state that “in law, the sex of an individual is their sex as registered at birth unless they have been issued with a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) under the Gender Recognition Act 2004 (GRA), in which case the person’s sex is their acquired sex.”
Additionally, BTP states that it “recognizes the status of Transgender and Non-Binary detainees/staff from the moment they identify in that gender with or without a GRC.”
The policy then sets out the two types of searches that are performed by officers and states that the guidance is applicable to both. “More Thorough Searches (Strip) in the context of searches involve the removal of more than, jacket, outer coat, gloves, headwear, and footwear. EIP Searches are searches that expose buttocks, genitalia, and (female) breasts.”
Regarding Strip and EIP searches, “BTP officers will only search persons of the same sex as either their Birth Certificate or GRC.” The BTP policy further states that “any information relating to a person’s GRC or original gender” is classified as “protected information,” and therefore staff are prohibited from disclosing the biological sex of an officer when it differs from the information provided on a GRC.
Sex Matters sent a pre-action letter to BTP Chief Constable Lucy D’Orsi on November 22 warning that the policy breached established law via PACE, which stipulates that strip searches must be conducted by an officer of the same sex as the detainee. The human rights charity proposed that BTP authorities respond by the end of the month on the matter in order to avoid a legal claim.
The pre-action letter asserts that it “may be humiliating and frightening for a women to be strip searched by a male officer,” and similarly, that “female officers would be likely to experience humiliation and degradation if required to carry out a strip search of a man.” Therefore, legal counsel for Sex Matters insisted that BTP withdraw the new guidance and confirm that strip searches will be “carried out on the basis of same biological sex only.”
Maya Forstater, the chief executive of Sex Matters, told Reduxx that the charity is requesting that the High Court determine whether BTP’s policy is lawful, given that it violates women’s right to be strip searched by an officer of the same sex.
“Sex Matters is asking the High Court to consider whether BTP’s policy is lawful, both in relation to female detainees being searched by trans-identifying male officers, and in relation to female officers being pressured into searching trans-identifying males,” Forstater said.
“In developing the case we interviewed several female officers who agreed to speak only under terms of anonymity. This illustrates the power imbalance and fear they feel.”

This case is important. "What is a Woman?" has consequences. BTP's search policy is abusive. https://t.co/lnIOjkZ8vU
“Those officers described the risks, humiliation and lack of dignity involved in searches with a trans-identifying man. Only 22% of BTP officers are female, and most of those searched are male,” Forstater continued. “They explained that it would be very difficult for a female officer to object to searching a trans-identifying male detainee because she would fear being perceived as transphobic, weak or unprofessional.”
“They emphasized that custody sergeants have great authority and that it would be hard for a young female officer to refuse an order. If she did refuse the order, the search would simply be passed on to another woman.”
Forstater, who was subjected to an employment tribunal after her work contract was not renewed in 2019 due to her former employers claiming views she had expressed on social media were “offensive and exclusionary” in regards to gender identity ideology, was at the center of a court decision which found that beliefs critical of gender identity “must be tolerated in a pluralist society.”
“BTP is gaslighting both female detainees and female officers with its statement that when a trans-identifying man searches a woman, ‘the female is being searched by a female’, and with its denial of the role sexual fetish can play in cross-dressing and trans identification,” Forstater remarked.
“Rules that are supposed to protect women from humiliating and degrading situations are instead being used to subject them to abuses while denying that this is happening.”
As an example of a trans-identified male police officer who has influenced gender identity policies within the legal system, Sex Matters has previously highlighted the case of Skye Morden, an officer with the West Midlands Police.
Morden, director of activist group Trans in the City, has served as both a Police Constable and a Tactical Training Officer with a focus of creating policies for authorities that prioritize the “inclusion” of men who claim to be women.
In a previous statement issued to MP Chris Philip at the start of the year, Sex Matters pointed to two other trans-identified male police officers: Cherry O’Donnell, with East Herts Police, and Steph Calvert of the Border Force. The letter asserts that “misrecording the sex of any police officer is not compatible with implementing the policies that are needed to respect human rights, to maintain public trust and confidence, and to police professionally.”
Men who claim to be transgender have influenced policing policies in the United Kingdom, and a number of forces have previously come under fire for their support for trans-identified males.
As previously reported by Reduxx, Sussex Police once came out in defense of a transgender serial pedophile following “hateful” comments about his gender identity on social media. On September 26, 2022, Sussex Police issued a status update on the case of John Robert Dixon, who was sentenced to a minimum of 12 years in prison following a conviction on 30 charges related to the sexual abuse of multiple children.
Sussex Police referred to Dixon as a “woman” in their update, prompting backlash from women’s rights advocates. In response, the force issued a scolding reply to at least three X users in which they condemned “hateful comments” towards Dixon’s gender identity, and suggested a hate crime investigation may be opened into those who misgendered the pedophile.
Anyone who went to a European Christmas market in the 1990s and early 2000s would never have thought that their life could be in danger. Those days are gone.
In October we discovered that the killer who murdered the children in Southport, England, was not a slightly crazy Rwandan Christian refugee, as the English government and all the mainstream media had assured us, but a terrorist with an Al Qaeda manual in his house and chemical material to make a bomb. For four months they kept the truth hidden. Why?
And who remembers the “Christian kamikaze”, Emad Al Swealmeen, the name of the Liverpool attacker? “Enzo Almeni,” as his friends called him, was an asylum seeker with a Syrian father and Iraqi mother who had changed his name to sound “more Western” and had faked a conversion to Christianity to hide his identity and motives. He wanted to attack the cathedral.
Now we have the Saudi doctor who killed 5 people at a Christmas market in the city of Magdeburg, central Germany.
There is now discussion about the identity of the attacker, a Saudi doctor who claimed to have abandoned Islam, Taleb Al Abdulmohsen. And so the morning after the massacre we woke up to a sea of idiocies based on his statements that he is a “former Muslim”. Why an attack on a Christmas market in Magdeburg against Christians?
The dear doctor was pro-Hamas. Many former Muslims who knew him assure us that he never gave up Islam and that he cheated the West to be given asylum.
Did he practice taqiya, which is an Islamic practice that allows believers to deceive the enemy, pretend to be something else, in order to carry out Jihad?
The Saudis had warned the Germans that Taleb was dangerous.
A few months ago in Annecy, France, a man from Syria terrorized a park by stabbing several children. An asylum seeker who was first accepted as such in Sweden ten years ago pretending to be an atheist, Christian or homosexual to obtain asylum is a common phenomenon. The attacker in Annecy with the knife claimed to be Christian and was wearing a cross. The Syrian was in fact a former member of Bashar al-Assad’s army who then joined ISIS before seeking and obtaining political asylum in Europe.
Everyone knew that no Christian could blow himself up inside a cathedral, just as no Christian would stab children at random in a dance class and no ex-Muslim would attack a Christmas market in Magdeburg.
So my greatest fear is that taqiya has made incredible and chilling progress in the West.
In August it came out that one of the terrorists who wanted to carry out a massacre at the Taylor Swift concert in Vienna worked for a company that provides services at concerts.
In England they have just arrested a police officer for supporting Hamas.
Mickaël Harpon, the perpetrator of the massacre at the Paris Prefecture that cost the lives of four police officers, was a police officer in charge of anti-terrorism in one of the most protected places in France. The computer 007 was was hired by a department whose priorities included the fight against “terrorism, particularly radical Islamism.” Harpon had secretly converted to Islam.
Jean-Baptiste Salvaing, deputy commander of the judicial police, and his partner Jessica Schneider, a secretary at a police station, were killed in their home in Magnanville by an Islamist. Some time later, police investigating a woman for suspected links to ISIS made a shocking discovery: the woman had a USB that contained the personal details of thousands of French police officers.
Like the sensational news that the bodyguard assigned to Geert Wilders had been completely replaced after a police officer of Muslim origin, Faris, had passed sensitive information on the Dutch politician to gangs.
Remember how US Army Major Nidal Hasan, shouting “Allahu Akbar,” killed 13 colleagues at the Fort Hood base in Texas? Who suspected him?
The loss of border control is being followed by the loss of internal control. But worse still is the loss of control over one’s own identity. One thing is clear: parallel societies are growing in Europe. The authorities and the public have no idea.
The sooner we come to terms with our false conscience and reassuring lies, the sooner we will know how to defend ourselves. Alternatively, we can only say a prayer for the dead, dead because of the recklessness of a Western political and cultural class that every year doubles the stakes in a crazy experiment that can only end in a suicide.
A 21-year-old Afghan has been in custody in Salzburg since December 1st, accused of being a sleeper agent for attacks by the terrorist organisation Islamic State (IS). A corresponding online report by Salzburger Nachrichten (SN) on Friday was confirmed to APA by the spokesperson for the Salzburg public prosecutor’s office, Ricarda Eder. ‘The man is being investigated for involvement in a terrorist organisation,’ said Eder.
According to SN, IS supporters in Austria are said to have planned attacks on Christmas markets, and a possible terrorist attack in the run-up to Christmas was prevented. Apparently, an attack with knives had been planned, and there had also been plans for an attack with explosives. The target was likely to have been police officers, Jews and Christmas markets. The 21-year-old suspect last lived in Salzburg, where he was also arrested. He is said to have worked in Hallein.
It is unclear where the attack should have been carried out. ‘But the federal capital of Vienna keeps being mentioned in dialogue with IS’, according to the newspaper Salzburger Nachrichten. The 21-year-old is unlikely to have received any precise details from the terrorist militia, but he was apparently ready for them at any time.
The Afghan is said to have spread IS propaganda on his TikTok channel and to have been active in several relevant IS online forums. The Salzburg State Office for State Protection and Counter-Extremism (LSE) is also likely to have tracked him down via these forums. During a house search, data carriers were seized in addition to handwritten notes, according to SN. The young man is said to have confessed fully and also admitted to IS membership in his initial questioning.
The spokeswoman for the Salzburg public prosecutor’s office confirmed on Friday that the accused had been arrested on suspicion of involvement in a terrorist organisation. However, no further details were disclosed for reasons of investigative tactics.
A high-ranking member of the now banned association ‘Islamic Centre Berlin’ has been working as an interpreter and translator (Persian) for the Berlin district court since 2015. This was reported by the ‘Bild’ newspaper. According to the report, the now 73-year-old man has helped the court with translations in around 15 cases
The ‘Islamic Centre Berlin’ is a sub-organisation of the ‘Islamic Centre Hamburg’ (IZH). This first appeared in the report by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution in 2022. The IZH was banned by Interior Minister Nancy Faeser in July 2024 – as were other sub-organisations. The reason given: The IZH is an extremist, Islamist organisation with anti-constitutional agendas. The organisation is considered an extended arm of Iran.
However, this had and probably still has no consequences for the Islamist at the Berlin district court. Although his organisation was being monitored by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, he was still called in by the court to provide interpreting services.
And even after the ban, he is still listed as a possible interpreter, according to Bild. However, he has not been deployed in any cases since July 2024, the newspaper writes. The court refuses to provide information on which specific cases he has worked on.
A man entered the Saint-Louis church in Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Yvelines) shortly before 5pm on Wednesday December 25 and shouted ‘Allah Akbar’, Le Figaro has learned from police sources.
The suspect, who had no identity papers, was arrested by the police and taken into custody. He is currently in custody, as the public prosecutor’s office in Versailles confirmed to Le Figaro.
In front of the astonished crowd of around 15 worshippers waiting for the 6.30 p.m. service, the person then walked down the altar before showing his bum.
Contrary to what many Israelis are now saying, the Irish are NOT antisemitic, but they are acting foolishly, so I cannot blame the Israeli government for pulling its embassy out of Ireland.
Israel is furious that Ireland has opened up a full embassy with Palestine, and that joined with South Africa to press for a case of genocide against Israel at International Court of Justice at The Hague.
But if truth be known, there is more to it.
Norway and Spain have also recognized the Palestinian state, and so has a lot of the planet. (About three quarters of the member states in the United Nations). Yet, Israel has not closed down their embassies with all of those states.
In terms of raw antisemitism, Ireland is rather low in antisemitic incidents, lower than most other European nations, including some nations which support Israel.
Among comments made by some Jews on some websites, and social media, the blame is fixed on Ireland’s Catholicism. However, Catholicism as a social force is dying out in Ireland. Catholicism is not the root of the present situation.
Rather, what is driving the Irish is that they conflate their historical experience with the British as being similar to that of the Palestinians. (I know some dispute the validity of that demonym.)
Ireland’s historic experience of being persecuted has created a mindset where they do not identify with a lot of their fellow Europeans.
Some complain that Ireland’s prime minister during World War II, Eamon De Valera, sent condolences to the Germans when Hitler died, and list such an action as proof of intrinsic Irish antisemitism. The problem is that around 50,000 Irish volunteered to serve in the British forces during World War II, with most of them coming from the Free State.
De Valera’s action was supremely stupid, but based on what I know, he just wanted to assert Irish independence from Britain.
George Bernard Shaw, a dual U.K.-Irish citizen born in Dublin who considered himself Irish – and who hated Nazism – defended the diplomatic action. In other actions, De Valera favored the Allies. Ireland interned crashed Nazi pilots, but returned Allied airmen. He gave weather reports to the Allies. In substance, Ireland was more pro-Allied.
On other hand, Spain sent 47,000 volunteers to fight with the Nazis on the Eastern Front. Yet, all of that is forgotten while De Valera’s diplomatic foolishness is remembered.
Does anyone remember that when most of Europe was withdrawing civil rights from the Jews, in 1937, the Irish constitution recognized the Jews as free part of Ireland?
And the critics are also bringing up what was called the 1904 Limerick pogrom where no one died.
Russia was killing hundreds at that time, but in Ireland, a few punches and rocks were thrown. Compare that to attacks on Jews throughout history in other European nations. While not justifiable, the Limerick incidents were more of a boycott.
Innate antisemitism is not the real source of Irish foolishness.
Mark Regev, an Israeli diplomat, and former ambassador to the U.K., hits the nail on the head with this observation:
There was a time when actually Zionism was very popular in Ireland. And it shows maybe the superficiality of the Irish approach to … Israel. They loved Zionism when Mr. Begin was heading the Etzel (the Irgun) and Mr. Shamir was leading the Freedom Fighters for Israel (the Stern Group) … when they were shooting British officers. Then we were, we were at the time – and I challenge if we got any Irish listeners to this podcast – look at how the Irish press at the time and the Irish public opinion, they were all for Jews and Zionists when we were fighting the British. Then we were were the flavor of the month – Jewish News Service, JNS-TV
That’s it: Superficiality! That is the problem. Not innate antisemitism, but horrendous superficiality.
The Irish conflate their history with that of the Palestinians. That is positively preposterous, but seems to be the national delusion driving such foolishness.
The Irish are ignoring:
The Irish drink. The Muslims forbid alcohol.
Celtic women are fierce. Muslims abuse their women.
The Celts have a concept of democracy. The Muslims are presently incapable of democracy.
As for fighting the British, the Jewish founders of Israel fought the British also.
The Irish want to resurrect their once-dead language. The Jews have resurrected Hebrew.
The Irish would like their country back. The Jews would like their country back.
Ireland is now a tech hub. Israel is the start-up nation.
Instead, “woke” Ireland is allowing their country to be overrun with incompatible immigrants to the point that, where Ireland was once 94% Gaelic by ancestry, the Gaels are now down to 77%. And make no mistake about it, hyper-leftists in Ireland are driving it.
If the Irish want a prosperous high-tech economy, they should not be aggravating high-tech masters like the Jews of Israel. They should be partnering with them. If the Irish cannot bring themselves to support Zionism, at least stay as officially neutral as they did during World War II.
They should act more like the Israelis, and restrict immigration to their native stocks, just as Israel prefers Jewish immigration. The Irish should stop re-electing leftists who trash Israel while letting Ireland be overun (click here). This Jewish media commentator in this essay here, sees the issue rightly.
I do believe there is a God who authors history; and I think the Irish are acting abysmally. If the Irish would stop working to impose a two-state solution on Israel, and concentrate on their own predicament, who knows, but the divine author of history might deign to remove the two-state solution imposed on the Irish by the British.
Oil? Coal? Gas? No. The greatest current threat to the planet comes from… fir trees.
The media, which in the true spirit of the left is dedicated to ruining everything, is on the case just in time for the season.
Christmas can be a gassy affair, and the tree that stands proudly in your living room is no exception.
On average, a natural Christmas tree emits 16 kilograms of CO2 equivalent if it gets landfilled after use. That drops to around 3.5 kilograms if you turn it into woodchip or burn it as firewood.
But if you’re thinking of ditching the real tree and going for a plastic one, you might want to think again. Artificial trees have much bigger carbon footprints, emitting on average 40 kilograms of CO2eq.
So how long until there’s a call for banning them?
Of course, this is part of the larger theme of making Christmas subservient to the official state Green cult.

The commotion didn’t last long, because everything happened very quickly on Wednesday the 25th of December. On this Christmas Day, the pews in Saint-Charles Cathedral in the heart of Saint-Etienne are well occupied. The service starts at 10.30 a.m. on a day that is a public holiday for Christians.
It is around 11 a.m. when a worshipper observes a man entering the cathedral. He is dressed in ‘traditional clothing’, as Yves Cellier, the interdepartmental director of the National Police, confirmed to us on Wednesday afternoon. According to an eyewitness, it is a djellaba or qamis, complemented by a headscarf and possibly a turban.
A worried worshipper decides to leave the cathedral inconspicuously. Outside the cathedral, he comes across two city police officers on motorbikes. He calls them over and informs them of the incident. The city police officers immediately alerted their colleagues from the national police and within a few minutes the crime-fighting brigade was on the scene.
The officers entered the building and were able to locate the reported person without difficulty due to his clothing, which is rather unusual in a Catholic place of worship. The man was asked to accompany the officers, showed no resistance and was taken into a police vehicle. He is currently on our offices,’ confirmed Yves Cellier. This intrusion was likely to cause a disturbance of public order, which justified our intervention.’ The chief of police in the Loire department stated that ‘the service was able to take place as planned, as the officers were quickly on site thanks to the alarm raised by a worshipper’.
It is now a matter for the police to ‘carry out checks, both at judicial and intelligence level’. And to determine the motives for the intrusion as well.
For Yves Cellier, ‘what counts is that any risk was averted very quickly and that, apart from the commotion within the community of believers, there was no violence and no victims’.
Saint-Charles Cathedral, like all Christian and Jewish places of worship, is subject to increased surveillance during the Christmas and Hanukkah holidays.
