Alexandre Bissonnette's obsession with mass murderers started when he was an adolescent, and he had wanted to carry out a mass killing ever since, a Quebec City court heard on Monday.

A report written by social worker Guylaine Cayouette set off cries of horror inside the courtroom when it was presented as evidence on Monday by the Crown at sentencing arguments for the 28-year-old.

Bissonnette pleaded guilty in March to six counts of first degree murder, as well as six counts of attempted murder for the Jan. 29, 2017 shooting.

Quebec Superior Court Justice François Huot must decide whether Bissonnette will be eligible for parole after 25 years, or not at all. Huot has the possibility of adding up the parole eligibility sentences, which could mean 150 years behind bars.

Cayouette, Bissonnette's liaison officer, filed the report after a meeting with him on Sept. 20, 2017. That day, she wrote, Bissonnette carried himself differently from the man she had met, almost weekly, since his arrest.

Bissonnette told her he was tired of playing a game, and that he remembered everything about the attack.

In contrast to his muddled responses to police immediately after the shooting, Bissonnette described in detail what happened when he approached the mosque in the Quebec City suburb of Sainte-Foy.

He said when he entered the prayer room, an old man grabbed his arm, presumably Azzeddine Soufiane, who tried to disarm Bissonnette that night.

"I shot him. I regret not shooting more people," he told Cayouette.

Inside the courtroom, families of the victims cried out as the report was read aloud. They also heard that Bissonnette said he could have killed anyone, not just Muslims.

When court adjourned for break, Bissonnette stood up looking directly at the audience, with what looked like a huge smile.

Hours scouring the Internet

Earlier in the day, the court heard how Bissonnette spent hours in front of his computer screen looking up mass shootings, Islam and U.S. immigration policies in the days leading up to the shooting.

During the month of January 2017, he typed in the words "shooting" and "shooter" 150 times in his search engine, a police report presented as evidence shows.

He also looked for information about the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre and the Muslim students association at Laval University 82 times during that month and 12 times in the hours before shooting.

Bissonnette seemed particularly interested in Dylann Roof, a white supremacist who killed nine churchgoers inside a church in South Carolina, searching for references to the mass murderer 201 times during that month.

He also looked up references to Marc Lépine, the man convicted of killing 14 women in 1989 at the Polytechnique engineering school, and looked into feminist groups at Laval University. 

A photo of Bissonnette found on his computer shows him wearing a red baseball cap with the slogan used by Donald Trump during his presidential campaign, Make America Great Again. 

Bissonnette read several articles detailing Trump's executive order which would have temporarily banned people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S.

He also consulted Donald Trump's twitter feed on a daily basis, Jacques said.

The evidence presented on Monday supported information found in Bissonnette's interrogation video, which was presented last Friday.

Just two hours before entering the Sainte-Foy mosque and firing his gun 48 times, Bissonnette read a tweet from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which welcomed "those fleeing persecution" into Canada, according to evidence presented Monday.

Victim impact statements were set to begin Monday afternoon.

Madness, obsession, or demonic influence

As I mentioned before, I would bet money that Bissonette began smoking pot as an adolescent. Pot, in adolescence frequently results in schizophrenia, paranoia, and other psychotic diseases. 

Another way of looking at it is as demonic activity. Bissonette's fixation with mass murders could easily be associated with a demon, a powerful demon. He said, in an article posted here a couple days ago, (same link as just above) that he was convinced a massacre would happen soon. He thought it would be Muslim driven, but it turned out he was the terrorist. A demon can put that kind of fear into a person's head and fix their attention on it.

Did Bissonette surrender himself to the demon when he decided to tell Cayouette the truth and his entire demeanor changed? Was the demon speaking when he stated that he wished he had killed more? Was that the demon smiling at the families of the victims when Bissonette turned around in the courtroom? 

I expect most of you don't believe in demons, but I can tell you, this sounds like just the way they act.

Islamic Jihad in Gaza Proudly and Openly Organizing the Next Assault on Israel

From the very large, Islamic Insanity file comes this astonishing story from
Agence France Presse

Gaza City (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) - In a tunnel dug deep underneath the besieged Gaza Strip, masked gunmen from Islamic Jihad ferry rockets and mortars back and forth, preparing for the next conflict with Israel.

Now, you know that missiles are not defensive weapons, they are offensive. They are not for protecting Gaza, but for destroying Israel. They will not deter Israel, but only cause them to be more aggressive in their response. So, in reality, these missiles will result in more damage to Gaza and more Palestinians dead or injured. Why do Palestinians want this? Are they nuts?

Six months ago, the Palestinian militant group emerged battered and bruised from a 50-day conflict with Israel, where it fought alongside fellow Islamist movement Hamas, which controls Gaza.

Islamic Jihad's armed wing the Al-Quds Brigades lost 123 men, but fired 3,249 rockets at the Jewish state, it says, including Iranian-made Fajr 5 missiles which reached Tel Aviv and even northern Israel.

The conflict, where Israel tried to flush out Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants by bombarding the coastal enclave, killed nearly 2,200 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and 73 people on the Israeli side, mostly soldiers.

But the group says it is resurgent.

"We're at our highest level of alert to counter any attack. We're used to the occupation (Israel) breaking its ceasefires," senior commander Abu al-Bara told AFP from one of the group's tunnels.

"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. We're gathering all our strength since it's a war that never ends. We're ready to go to another level against the Zionist occupation and carry out actions we've never done before," he said, without elaborating.
The war ended on August 26 with a fragile Hamas-Israel ceasefire brokered by Egypt.

In the meantime, Islamic Jihad has sought to replace its fallen comrades, and its manpower is estimated at between 10,000 and 15,000 fighters.

Hamas and Islamic Jihad refuse to specify the number of fighters, or rockets, they currently possess, but both were severely depleted by the Israeli assault, which included fierce ground combat.

- 'Abu Bakr street' -

Israel's ground invasion was aimed at destroying the hundreds of tunnels Gaza's two main Islamist groups had built, both for smuggling supplies and for attacks inside Israel.

Islamic Jihad and Hamas staged deadly assaults on Israeli troops using the tunnels.

For the first time, AFP correspondents were permitted to enter a tunnel, provided they were blindfolded whilst being taken to them, so as not to give away its location.

Inside, placards had been erected on the concrete walls, naming "streets" to help militants navigate the network.

One route was named after Abu Bakr al-Sadiq, the first Islamic caliph following the Prophet Mohammed's death in 632; another, Othman Ibn Affan, a successor.

Quds fighters said the group had a network of tunnels of "different lengths, some with several entrances".

But they were silent on the network's location or how it was built.

Their weapons were made inside Gaza, they said, but without elaborating on how the parts were obtained or purchased.

It was an open secret before July 2013 that smuggling tunnels underneath the Egyptian border brought in much of Gaza's construction and fuel needs, money, and weapons, or the material to make them.

But Egypt destroyed the vast majority after the military ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi and a crackdown was launched against his Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas's ally.

Islamic Jihad, founded like Hamas in the 1980s, traditionally has its closest ties with Tehran, having been inspired by the Iranian revolution.

- 'Mujahedin school' -

Israel accuses the groups of continuing to seize construction material entering Gaza to make tunnels and weapons.

"Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad have openly declared that they are rebuilding tunnels and testing rockets and other things like that," army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner told AFP.

"They've been siphoning off from the civilians of Gaza forever," he said, warning that Israel was prepared for further confrontation.

Underground and overground, the Quds Brigades lie ready.

In the southern city of Khan Yunis, a banner reads: "School of the Mujahedin".

Some 200 new recruits aged 19 to 22 are training at the camp, ducking under live fire, jumping through flaming hoops and shouting "Death to Israel! Death to America!".

Instructor Abu Ahmed says the masked young men are going through "very advanced training".

"Their training lasts between 36 days and six months, before they go to a specialised unit like explosives or sharp shooting," he said.

"We don't just have tunnels -- we also invest in people," Abu al-Bara interjected.

"With ideas and fighting, it is people who will liberate this land."

'Liberate'! Right! Hamas and Islamic Jihad are going to bring freedom to Palestine! Freedom to force women into cloth prisons, to refuse to allow them to leave the home, to beat them for the slightest offence, to rape women and children without penalty, to beat their children to death for glancing the wrong way or for being 12 and refusing to marry a 78 year old pedophile. Freedom!

Amazing! No complaints or criticism about this action from anyone. These tunnels, weapons, and military training are provocations and an obvious declaration that Israel will never be allowed to live in peace. Shouldn't there be screams of condemnation from the US, the UN, the UK, etc.?

No, all three Us are most likely sending money to Gaza to rebuild schools, hospitals, infrastructure so life can turn to some semblance of order. But what is happening to the money and materials sent to Gaza? - they are being diverted so Hamas and Islamic Jihad can build tunnels, weapons and import missiles for attacking Israel.

It's another one of those situations where the US is supplying weapons to both sides of a conflict, only this conflict involves their only real ally in the middle east. The 3 Us should not be sending a cent to Palestine until they give up their Satanic obsession with destroying Israel.
