Allah's Willing Executioners

By Monica Showalter

French polls show that conservative nationalist Marine Le Pen is the leading candidate for president of France when elections are held in 2027.

It makes sense, given the rising support her National Rally (RN) party garnered in the last National Assembly election, where it became a top vote getter. Parties with that pattern tend to go upwards in successive elections.

Which is precisely why we are seeing what we are seeing now in France — the Full Maduro — the disqualification of Le Pen from running for office, on trumped-up charges of embezzlement over a bookkeeping dispute. It’s outrageous, and about as tinpot-dictatorship as such things get.

It’s exactly what Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro did to his opponent, Maria Corina Machado, last year, when she rose overwhelmingly in the polls against him. She was disqualified, and when she ran an ally instead, the scheme really failed because the ally won bigly, so Maduro’s next move was to try to jail these opponents which he trying to do now.

As for the bookkeeping dispute, that sounds a lot like the clown show in New York, which is what Prosecutor Alvin Bragg and Colombian-American Justice Juan Merchan (whose daughter was raising money for Democrats), tried to do to President Trump. Fortunately, he had good legal representation to thwart the worst of it. Had he not had it, he might have ended up like Le Pen. The left establishment plays for keeps, both in Venezuela and the U.S.

And we have seen many recent cases of political opponents being disqualified from running for office ever since the lawfare on Trump — from the disqualification of Brazil’s popular Jair Bolsonaro, to the full judicial negation of Romania’s election, based on the judges not liking the result of it. It is becoming a new normal now, and France has not been spared.

Le Pen has vowed to appeal, but in France, the deed is done, and the real reason for the charges is obvious enough — to keep her from running for president in 2027.

Like Trump, the French swamp establishment absolutely hates her.

Which has been obvious enough since at least last year.

During June’s legislative elections, President Emmanuel Macron’s party coalition, Ensemble, did poorly, so he forged an alliance with the conventional conservatives, known as Republicans, as well as the radical leftists, known as the New Ecological and Social People’s Union (NUPES), who did well — all to ensure that Le Pen’s party was isolated, despite its broad public support.

Anything to keep her out, including cobbling together an illogical, chaotic ruling alliance.

After that, Macron kept the defense, finance, and foreign affairs portfolios for his own party, handed the immigration portfolio to the conservatives, and tellingly, passed the justice portfolio to the radical leftists who got to work finding a charge to make stick against Le Pen.

And, oh, it was arguable charges, embezzlement, which is explained this way by Reuters:

Le Pen, the National Rally (RN) and two dozen party figures were accused of diverting more than 4 million euros ($4.33 million) of European Parliament funds to pay France-based staff.

They had argued the money was used legitimately and that the allegations had defined too narrowly what a parliamentary assistant does.

Judge Benedicte de Perthuis said Le Pen had been “at the heart” of the scheme.

The court found Le Pen, eight other people who were EU lawmakers at the time and 12 parliamentary assistants guilty of embezzling the EU funds.

The defendants were not accused of pocketing the money, but rather of using EU funds to the benefit of their party.

Like the American judicial hypocrites, the establishment there is harrumphing about threats to “democracy,” CNN continued:

The court’s presiding judge, Bénédicte de Perthuis, said Le Pen’s actions amounted to a “serious and lasting attack on the rules of democratic life in Europe, but especially in France.” She said Le Pen’s immediate ban on standing for office was tied to “democratic public unrest” that would result from the election of a person convicted of embezzlement.

Even CNN could see the writing on the wall:

But the decision itself looks set to spark significant unrest. Jordan Bardella, Le Pen’s protégé who succeeded her as RN’s president, said it was not only Le Pen “who is being unjustly condemned: it is French democracy that is being executed.”

A crude German coeval nakedly laid out the real plan:

Juergen Hardt, a senior German lawmaker with Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz’s conservatives, said: “As a Member of the European Parliament, Marine Le Pen saw the European Union only as a self-service store with which she could finance herself and her party.”

“The French court is right to put a stop to her political ambitions,” Hardt said.

And not only is it likely to lead to riots and unrest, the public may well just vote for her anyway in bigger numbers than before. People don’t like lawfare, nor do they like sleazy judges telling them who they can’t vote for. We saw how President Trump’s polling numbers went up with each lawfare outrage, and it’s possible we will see something of the same dynamic in France. Marine may be viewed as a potential Charlotte Corday, just ready with the knife approaching the swamp establishment’s decaying bath tub, and they couldn’t deserve it more.

As history foretells, in France, this judicial overreach and crazed hate for change could get very ugly.

A Paris court ruled Monday that National Rally leader Marine Le Pen will be ineligible to run for public office for five years, likely including in the upcoming presidential race, after being found guilty of embezzlement of European Union funds.

A “political death sentence” has been handed out to three-time presidential candidate and current frontrunner in the race to replace President Emmanuel Macron in 2027, Marine Le Pen.

The Paris court found that Le Pen, along with eight other National Rally Members of the European Parliament, had embezzled 2.9 million euros in funds intended for parliamentary assistants for the party in Strasbourg on political operations in France. The court’s president found Le Pen personally guilty of embezzling 474,000 euros, Le Monde reported.

Le Figaro reports that she was sentenced to four years imprisonment, which will likely be served on probation with an electronic tag rather than in jail, a fine of 100,000 euros, and five years of ineligibility from running for public office.

Without waiting to hear the details of her sentence, Le Pen stormed out of the courtroom “visibly exasperated” and returned to her National Rally party headquarters in Paris.

Speaking last week ahead of the ruling, the National Rally leader said: “I consider myself completely innocent of the facts with which I am accused. Therefore, if my guilt is pronounced, I will use the rule of law to be able to defend my innocence again.”

However, the court on Monday ruled that the ineligibility to run for public office should come into effect “immediately.” This means that even if Le Pen were to appeal the decision, the ban would remain in place during the appeal process. Appeals of such sort typically take at least a year, so it is technically possible for the ruling to be overturned before the election occurs in 2027.

Should the appeal fail, or indeed the process extend beyond the vote, it would mean that, for the first time since 1981, Le Pen would not be running in a French presidential election.

Political allies have decried the ruling, accusing the court of interfering in the French democratic process and depriving citizens of the right to choose their own leader.

The former leader of the Republicains, who sided with Le Pen’s party in last year’s legislative elections, Eric Ciotti said that “the democratic destiny of our nation confiscated by an unworthy judicial cabal.”

“This is not a simple malfunction, it is a system of power capture that systematically excludes any candidate too far to the right who is capable of winning.”

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, whose party sits in coalition with Le Pen’s National Rally in the European Parliament, said in a statement of solidarity: “I am Marine!” in a reference to the ‘Je Suis Charlie’ slogan following the terror attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Italian Deputy PM and longtime ally Matteo Salvini said: “Those who fear the judgment of voters often seek reassurance from the courts. In Paris, they have condemned Marine Le Pen and would like to remove her from political life. A bad situation that is also being observed in other countries such as Romania.

“What is happening against Marine Le Pen is a declaration of war from Brussels, at a time when the belligerent impulses of Von der Leyen and Macron are terrifying. We are not intimidated, we are not stopped: full speed ahead, my friend!”

Le Pen’s deputy and likely successor, Jordan Bardella, said: “Today, it is not only Marine Le Pen who is being unjustly condemned: it is French democracy that is being executed.”

According to a recent survey from Ifop, Le Pen is the clear frontrunner in the upcoming 2027 presidential election in France. Depending on potential opponents, she recorded between 34 and 37 per cent support. In comparison, her closest rival, Le Harve Mayor Édouard Philippe, only recorded 21 per cent support.

The UK has become the Portland of Europe. Every single insane outburst of wokeness seems to come from there. Like this latest incident in which it’s still okay in the UK for Muslims to sexually groom little girls and to stab them, but a three-year-old can be suspended for homophobia or transphobia.

A toddler was suspended from nursery after being accused of being transphobic or homophobic, The Telegraph can reveal.

Department for Education (DfE) data show the child, aged either three or four, was suspended from a state school in the 2022-23 academic year for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity”.

Lord Young, the director of the Free Speech Union, said: “It beggar’s belief that schools are suspending children as young as five for breaching their ‘transphobia’ policy. I would have thought that if your ideology is so rigid it justifies you punishing toddlers for not complying with it, that’s a powerful argument for discarding it in favour of something less dogmatic.”

This is ‘my lesbian nana’ territory.

A West Yorkshire Police officer who arrested an autistic teenage girl on suspicion of committing a ‘hate crime’ after she told her “You look like my lesbian nana” has been ordered to undergo reflective training following an investigation by the police complaints watchdog for England and Wales, reports the Mail.

Later during the video the 16-year-old is dragged crying and screaming towards a police van by a group of seven police officers.

I wonder if the same officer was involved. She might have moved down from teenagers to toddlers.

The Social Austria of the Future (SÖZ) party is now calling for Ramadan to be officially declared a public holiday in Austria. The three-day Ramadan festival, often also known as Eid, traditionally concludes the fasting period of Ramadan.
Hakan Gördü, Chairman of SÖZ, justifies the demand with the cultural diversity in the capital: ‘Vienna is colourful and diverse – it’s high time that this was reflected in the calendar! At the end of Ramadan, Muslims around the world celebrate the Ramadan festival.’ According to Gördü, more than 200,000 Muslims live in Vienna and make a significant contribution to shaping the city.
In view of the upcoming Vienna elections on April 27, in which SÖZ is running, Gördü emphasises: ‘We are therefore calling for this important holiday to finally be officially recognised. Muslim holidays are just as much a part of Vienna as Christmas or Easter – because true diversity means respecting everyone equally. Let’s set an example for equality and recognition together! It’s time we introduced a Muslim public holiday in Austria for the country’s second largest religious community.’

However, his proposal has not gone down well with the readers of ‘Heute.at’. According to a non-representative survey conducted there, 91 per cent of participants are against the idea of an official holiday for Ramadan in Austria.

Something called the “Sentencing Council” for England and Wales has put forth new guidelines that institutionalize racial, religious, and gender bias in the U.K.’s legal system.

Effective April 1, 2025, the new guidelines prioritize pre-sentence reports (PSRs), which history shows us will necessarily lead to more lenient sentences for non-white, non-Christian, and non-male offenders.

This direction will of course create a two-tiered justice system, one in which white males will arbitrarily face harsher penalties, while all others will benefit from embedded and systemic leniency.

This structural injection of the worst kind of bias into Britain’s legal system will have immediate — and dire — implications.

Quite frankly, the guidelines are nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to institutionalize preferential treatment for specific, favored, groups.

Frank Haviland, a vocal critic of the changes, stated, “The anti-white, anti-male takeover of Britain is all but complete.”

He forgot to mention anti-Christian.

And it is bizarre, given that England gave the world the Magna Carta, and John Locke, Benjamin Disraeli, Winston Churchill, and Margaret Thatcher, among others.

When I first saw this story, and the new guidelines’ inception date of April 1st, I figured it must be an April Fool’s joke. It isn’t. And it’s not funny.

Once equal justice for all under the law is removed, the wheels quickly come off the proverbial bus, and, presto, you have a banana republic where those with power attempt to use corrupt and perverted lawfare to imprison their political opponents … and everyone else of whom they are not particularly fond.

This reminds me of a piece I wrote over a decade ago, “Democrats Propose ‘Progressive’ Minimum Wage,” where the minimum wage rates are determined by one’s ethnic, racial, religious, and sexual identities rather than being the same for anyone at a given experience level with merit being the deciding factor in future wage discrepancies.

It was intended as parody, but, as often happens today, has essentially become reality.

What else could Britain possibly do to let us all know she is failing, finished?

Britain has fallen. And she won’t get up.

-Orléans, the city of Joan of Arc, the girl who saved France from English conquest during the Hundred Years’ War.

-The rabbi of Orléans, Aryeh Engelberg, is walking with his nine-year-old son when he is kicked and punched, bitten on the shoulder and insulted.

-Speaking of demography: 37 percent of young people in Orleans are non-European, compared to 2 percent in 1968, the fateful year.

A few hours earlier, a Jewish girl was walking through Christiania, the famous hippie neighborhood of Copenhagen. She thought she was in the “Free City,” self-managed and bohemian. The woman has an Israeli flag in her backpack. A man asks her if she is Jewish and she says yes. “Are you proud of it?” When the woman says yes again, the man spits on her. The woman calls the police, but in the meantime another man appears and tells her to throw away her “damn” Israeli flag.

“Suddenly a group of men rushed towards me. One man with Middle Eastern appearance shouted at me to take down the flag immediately.” They start to tear it away, while another shouts that he needs a knife to cut it. “There were at least 50 people watching and when I screamed for help, one of the men smiled mockingly and said: ‘No one will help you here.’ He then grabbed me by the throat and started strangling me with his hands. When I finally managed to speak to the police they didn’t ask me if I was OK, but why I was carrying an Israeli flag in an area like Christiania.”

Meanwhile, Faiz Shah from Bradford, Mohammad Comrie from Leeds and Elinaj Ogunnubi-Sime from Croydon kidnapped an Israeli Jew in London. Their victim, Itay Kashti, a music producer and composer from London, was lured to a holiday cottage in West Wales under the guise of working with musicians, only to be kicked, punched and handcuffed to a radiator by the three Islamists.

Welcome to Eurabia!

In France, there is an anti-Jewish attack every three days. In London, a Jew risks losing an eye. In Berlin, a foiled attack on the Israeli embassy (the one at the Shoah Memorial was successful). In Sweden, Jews under escort. In Rome, a boy wearing a kippah attacked on Via Nazionale.

And all to stay between January and February and not taken too far (the picture would be even more terrifying).

Norwegian Jews are increasingly concerned about being treated in public health facilities.

Who would want to stay in this Europe?

“In England, there are Islamic courts and police who apply Sharia law,” Pierre Martinet, a former French intelligence officer, just said. “Some neighborhoods are governed by Islam. In Europe, we have seen huge demonstrations with Al Qaeda or Islamic State flags. Doing nothing would be suicidal.”

Menachem Margolin, president of the European Jewish Association (EJA), just revealed that “40,000 Jews have left Europe with no intention of returning.”

And “57 percent of European Jews are thinking of leaving.” This is the other data just out of the Combat Antisemitism Movement conference in Vienna, which brought together leaders of European communities. The number of anti-Semitic incidents has increased by 400 percent in parts of Europe. “We are losing the battle,” Ariel Muzicant, president of the European Jewish Congress, said in Vienna. “In a few years, 50 percent of communities may no longer exist.”

“I would like to stick a sharp knife directly into the throat of every Jew I meet.” So wrote Herman Brusselmans, a well-known Flemish writer, in the magazine Humo. The European Jewish Association has filed a lawsuit against both the Belgian magazine and the writer, accusing them of “incitement to murder.” Now a judge has ruled: “It falls within freedom of expression.”

If he had written “I would like to stick a sharp knife directly into the throat of every black man I meet,” would he have been acquitted?

If it were not for a few thousand Israeli expatriates doing business in Europe, many Jewish communities (from Holland to Germany) would already be extinct.

“Goodbye Europe, Welcome Israel.” This is the title of the Arte documentary about the Dutch Jew Shirli and the Italian Massimo who chose to leave Europe to make aliyah. Who can blame Shirli? Last week, another threat was made to a Jewish school in Amsterdam: “We will kill three of your students.”

Only a madman would not take them seriously. The University of Amsterdam is kicking out Israeli students.

Joel Kotkin talks about the “Jewish flight from the West”: “The Jewish population in Europe was 3.5 million in 1950, after the Holocaust. Today it has fallen well below 1.5 million. France is home to the third largest Jewish community in the world, but it is shrinking. Since 2000, 50,000 Jews have left France, mostly for Israel. Even more shocking has been the virtual annihilation of Jews in Islamic countries: one million until the 1960s, today there are less than 15,000 Jews living there.”

“The European Jewish population today is comparable to that of the Middle Ages,” warns Guillaume Erner. “With the Holocaust, anti-Semitism achieved its goal in Europe. While in 1939 Poland was populated by 3,500,000 Jews, in the European Union there remain 750,000, of whom 450,000 are in France. The other dizzying element, which no one talks about, is the disappearance of Jews in the Arab world. A million Jews lived there.” Today, no one.

And while Norway has only 1,300 Jews left, the country of Quisling has never seen such a wave of anti-Semitism. A Jewish boy was just kicked out of a shop in Bergen. “Because of the rising anti-Semitism in Norway and the Norwegian government, Norwegian Jews have started making aliyah to Israel,” writes Hanne Ramberg from Oslo. “I feel horrible that the Norwegian government does not protect its own minority, who therefore have to emigrate to have a life of security.”

Meanwhile, Meir Villegas Henriquez, an Orthodox rabbi at the Beit Midrash (Jewish Studies Center) in Rotterdam, said in a video message recorded in his synagogue:

“We live in a new demographic reality that simply cannot be changed. Prepare to make aliyah. Talk to your children or grandchildren and explain to them that there is no future here. Help them study Hebrew. Invest in real estate, online, work remotely: all the steps needed to make moving to Israel possible.”

The chief rabbi of the Great Synagogue of Paris, Moshe Sebbag, also calls for departure: “There is no future for Jews in France. I tell all young people to go to Israel or to a safer country.”

Over the past fifteen years, 60,000 of 350,000 Jews have left Ile-de-France. Since 1972, 106,000 French Jews have left for Israel. “In a few decades, there will be no Jews in France,” said Richard Abitbol, ​​president of the Confederation of French Jews.

After the liberation from the Theresienstadt concentration camp, the great rabbi and philosopher Leo Baeck wrote: “An era in history has ended for us Jews… We believed that the German and Jewish spirits could meet on German soil and, through their marriage, could become a blessing. That was an illusion: the era of the Jews in Germany is over once and for all.”

It would be one of the greatest successes in history to prove this great man wrong. But we should do as Hungary does, where today there is an ever larger and ever more secure Jewish community and we know why: they have very little Islamic immigration.

I fear that Baeck was right.

Natan Sharanksy, the former Soviet refusenik, said: “We are witnessing the beginning of the end of Jewish history in Europe.” When Sharansky asked French intellectual Alain Finkielkraut whether “European Jewry has a future in Europe,” the philosopher responded with a question: “Does Europe have a future in Europe?”

It will be a post-Christian, semi-Islamized, and Jüdenrein Europe. Many are working on this terrible scenario.

The motto of Christiania, the hippy district of Copenhagen where you are free to do anything except carry an Israeli flag, is: “The world is in our hands.” We would like to, but that is no longer the case.

Or as Joel Rubinfeld, president of the Belgian League Against Anti-Semitism, puts it: “Whatever their motivations, these sorcerer’s apprentices will one day learn the metaphor of the (Jewish) canary in the mine the hard way. History has taught us that anti-Semites always start with the Jews, but never stop there. In other words, the Jews are the appetizer, the others are the main course. They could at least read the fable of the Scorpion and the Frog to realize that those for whom they demonstrate today will turn against them tomorrow. This is the relentless mechanics of History.”

And Europeans are like the frog that, slow-cooked, fails to jump out of the pot and is boiled.

On today’s #NCFWhittle we are joined by Douglas Carswell, former MP for the Conservative Party and UKIP. A co-founder of Vote Leave he now lives in the USA, where he serves as president and CEO of the Mississippi Center for Public Policy.

Last Saturday at around 00:45, two men (26,28) were out and about in Maximilianstraße in Augsburg. There they were insulted by a group of adolescents – a scuffle ensued. The group of men beat both men to the ground and continued to kick them – including ‘in the upper body and head area’, according to the police. The perpetrators then fled. However, an immediate manhunt was able to track down and arrest two suspects ( aged 22, 23) – both had an alcohol level of more than 1.2 per mille.

In an interview with the local newspaper, a victim of the current offence reported that he had feared for his life while the perpetrators were kicking him while he was lying on the ground. They are said to have insulted the victim as a ‘faggot’.

However, Halid S. is not among the suspects who were arrested that night (and have since been released). According to the newspaper, he is said to have gone into hiding. S. has German, Turkish and Lebanese citizenship.

Both victims were treated at Augsburg University Hospital during the night – initially with intensive care. The findings: concussions, bruises to the head, shoulder, back and chest as well as injuries to the face.

The newspaper Augsburger Allgemeine now reports that the motive is said to be hatred of gays. And one of the suspects is already a convicted violent offender – the then 17-year-old Halid S. is said to have beaten the then 49-year-old firefighter Roland S. to death on Königsplatz in Augsburg in December 2019. Halid S. had previously attracted attention for drug and assault offences. In November 2020, he was sentenced to four years and six months in prison by the Augsburg Regional Court for assault resulting in death. He had therefore only been at large again for a few months.

A trans-identified male accused of murdering a security guard at a refugee shelter was placed in pretrial detention for women in the federal state of Brandenburg, where he terrorized female inmates and threatened to kill them. Henrico Hilton G., a refugee from South Africa, was supposed to have been deported before his gruesome act and is now demanding in court to be addressed as a “female” named “Cleopatra.”

On February 20, 2025, the trial of Henrico Hilton G., a 38-year-old transgender-identified man originally from South Africa, commenced at Potsdam Regional Court. Hilton, who arrived in Germany as a refugee, is charged with manslaughter.

Prosecutors allege that Hilton fatally stabbed 33-year-old security guard Anwar A. in May 2024 at an asylum shelter located on Geschwister-Scholl-Straße in Potsdam. Hilton reportedly attacked the guard with deliberate knife thrusts aimed at his chest, piercing the victim’s heart and causing fatal internal bleeding.

According to previous reports by Reduxx, Hilton fled the scene, prompting a widespread search by Brandenburg West police. The area around the asylum facility was sealed off, and tracking dogs searched the nearby Sanssouci Park.

In a bizarre twist, three hours after fleeing the murder scene, Hilton contacted police to report that he had been “misgendered” at an Edeka supermarket in Schöneberg. Unaware of his connection to the murder, local officers recorded Hilton’s complaint without recognizing his connection to the ongoing manhunt, allowing him to remain free after taking his report. Information from this incident eventually led to Hilton’s arrest.

Initially placed in pretrial detention at Luckau-Duben women’s prison, Hilton reportedly terrorized the female inmates, leading to criminal complaints from two women. Witnesses at his trial described his behavior as aggressive and threatening, including frequent harassment and issuing death threats. Following numerous complaints, he was transferred to the men’s prison in Neuruppin-Wulkow in August 2024.

Despite laws at the time requiring inmate separation based on recorded sex, the prison housed Hilton in the women’s facility. This placement violated existing regulations, as Germany’s Self-Determination Act—which simplifies changing legal sex—had not taken effect until November 2024. Hilton’s passport listed him as male.

During his first court appearance, Hilton, wearing a headscarf and makeup, demanded to be addressed as a woman named “Cleopatra,” a request honored by the court. Hilton denied the manslaughter charges through his attorney but has otherwise remained silent.

Testimonies during the trial painted Hilton as aggressive, with a documented history of conflicts, including threats involving knives. Anwar A., the victim, previously prohibited Hilton from carrying a knife in the shelter, citing concerns over safety.

Hilton’s case has intensified scrutiny of Potsdam immigration authorities, as he had been under a deportation order since May 2021 but was never removed from the country despite numerous criminal incidents and carrying significant financial debts. In addition to the murder charge, Hilton is facing charges related to a separate knife attack from February 2023, classified as aggravated assault.

The process will continue on March 31, 2025. In the event of a conviction, he faces a long prison sentence, with the verdict expected in mid-April 2025.

An heiress got a strange fright when she went to visit her father’s house in Bourgoin-Jallieu (Isère), which had been empty for ten years due to an inheritance dispute. The lock had been changed, as Le Dauphiné Libéré revealed on the 26 of March. They then contacted the police to enter the building. There, they discovered a furnished flat with a fully equipped kitchen, a television, an internet box, a sofa, mattresses upstairs… and painting work in progress.
At that moment, two men in construction clothing enter the property. They are arrested immediately. One of the two, a 30-year-old man of Tunisian origin, is taken into police custody as the police realise that he is obliged to leave the country (OQTF). The man is taken into police custody and attempts to flee.
On his immediate summons, the 30-year-old asserts that he had permission to take up residence in the house and claims that he had planned to leave after Ramadan. He added: ‘The house was dilapidated, the door was open’. At the hearing, he also explained that he was convinced that his residence ban was only for one year. This reasoning did not convince the judiciary, as the man was eventually fined 1,000 euros for illegal occupation and given a four-month suspended sentence for his attempted escape.
