Antiterrorism Cyber Attack on British railway wifis reveals terror attacks across Europe

 

I used the term antiterrorism rather than Islamophobic for one reason. Islamophobic implies an unrealistic fear of anything Islam. It is not a fear of Islam that drive the far-right, but a fear of terrorism since 99% of all terrorists are Islamic.

Fear of Islamic terrorism is surely justified for anyone who knows anything about Islamic history or current Islamic ideology. The unwillingness of the government or the media to address those fears is what drives the far-right to take action. But they are too blind to see the truth.

UK: Man arrested for ‘Islamophobic cyberattack’

on wifi at major railway stations

You can see how compromised, cowardly and pusillanimous the British media is from the fact that the Manchester Evening News blurred out the message so that our delicate eyes would not be blinded by the sight of “Islamophobia.” Even worse, the blurred-out portion seems to be “information that referred to terror attacks.” You see, even the smallest hint that Islam has anything to do with terrorism will now bring the full weight of British government and law enforcement down upon you. Islamic jihadists can cheerfully avow that they’re doing it all for Islam, but anyone else who dares to notice does so at the risk of his freedom and livelihood.

Man arrested after ‘Islamophobic cyberattack’ on wifi at major railway stations

by Alex Ross and Barney Davis, Independent, September 26, 2024:

A man has been arrested after passengers saw an Islamophobic message flash up when they tried to use the free wifi at some of the biggest railway stations in the country.

British Transport Police said the suspect is an employee of Global Reach Technology, which provides some wifi services to Network Rail.

He has been arrested on suspicion of offences under the Computer Misuse Act 1990 and offences under the Malicious Communications Act 1988. No personal data is known to have been affected, the police added.

Manchester Piccadilly, Birmingham New Street, Edinburgh Waverley, Glasgow Central and 10 stations in London were all affected by the suspected cyberattack on Wednesday evening.

Passengers logging on to the wifi at the stations reported seeing a webpage that was titled “We love you, Europe”. Underneath it was information that referred to terror attacks.

The wifi system was quickly taken offline and police were called in to investigate.

A spokesperson for British Transport Police said: “We received reports at around 5.03pm yesterday of a cyberattack displaying Islamophobic messaging on some Network Rail wifi services.”

Officers said they were working with Network Rail to investigate the Islamophobic cybersecurity incident “at pace”….

Euronews reports that a 17 year old was arrested and then released.

Manchester Piccadilly and other UK stations targeted with terrorism message in Wi-Fi

‘cyber security incident'

by James Holt, Manchester Evening News, September 25, 2024:

The Wi-Fi at Manchester Piccadilly was hacked in a ‘cyber security incident’ on Wednesday night (September 25). An investigation has been launched after the Wi-Fi provided at all 20 stations managed by Network Rail were targeted.

Users attempting to log on to the service were met with a webpage, which has been seen by the Manchester Evening News. Headlined ‘We love you, Europe,’ the page contains information about terror incidents in the UK and abroad and appears to have an anti-Islamic message.

The cyber incident hit Manchester Piccadilly station, among others across the UK, with 11 targeted in London, including Euston and Victoria.

Other stations hit by the hack are Birmingham New Street, Glasgow Central, Leeds City, Liverpool Lime Street, Bristol Temple Meads, Edinburgh Waverley, Reading, Guildford.

The Manchester Evening News has been told British Transport Police are also investigating the issue. Network Rail confirmed the Wi-Fi services were suspended as enquiries take place….

Reality Contradicts The 'Acceptable Narrative' in Germany

..

It's almost unanimous in western countries that right-wing advocates are the greatest danger to modern society. The stupidity of that 'acceptable narrative' should be obvious when you realize that almost all terrorism is perpetrated by Muslims; that crime rates in Europe have skyrocketed because of Muslim migrants; that there are dozens of, if not hundreds of No-Go Zones in Europe, all occupied by Muslims.

These statements are sufficient to explain a rise in right-wing activism, and yet, we see in Berlin that most danger comes from the far-left. 60 police officers injured in one day exceeds both Muslim and far-right damage by a considerable margin.

It's time to drop the 'acceptable narrative' in favour of the truth!

Squatters and left-wing radicals clash with German police in Berlin,

60 officers injured

A routine fire inspection has led to massive riots in the German capital as left-wing radicals protested a fire inspector’s visit to a Berlin squat. At least 60 police officers have been injured in the violent confrontation.

Barricades have been burning on the streets of Berlin’s Friedrichshain neighborhood on Wednesday. Squatters, left-wing radicals and their sympathizers erected them from rubbish, bicycles and barbed wire to block the authorities from accessing a house on one of the local streets.

Known as one of the most popular get-together locations among German left-wing radicals, the ill-fated house on the Rigaer Strasse had been occupied by squatters for a year until they were evicted in a massive police operation back in 2016. Since that time, however, it has been apparently occupied again.

Its residents, some of them without rental agreements, have recently even filed a complaint with a local court, challenging the decision of the building’s owner and the local authorities to send a fire inspector into the house. The complaint was rejected by the court which cited a public interest in mitigating the potential risks of fire in the building.

The squatters and the radicals were apparently not ready to give up so easily. Some started pelting the police with bottles and stones as law enforcement officers sought to breach the barricades.

The situation escalated further and the area started to look like an active combat zone. A helicopter was barraging amid the billows of black smoke clouding the skies. Some witnesses reported dozens of loud bangs.

Footage published by the Ruptly video news agency showed the police trying to break one of the barricades with an armored vehicle and using water cannons to extinguish the flames. Berlin’s “emergency services and fire fighters were not let through,” the police said in a statement on Twitter, adding that they were pelted with stones, including from the roofs of nearby buildings.

At least 60 police officers were injured in clashes, mostly by stones and bottles thrown by the rioters, a police spokeswoman, Anja Dierschke, told the Berliner Zeitung. The police also said that around 200 masked rioters clashed with police before retreating to nearby houses. Only one person has been arrested so far. A police team also managed to climb on the roof of the Rigaer Strasse house.

Berlin’s Interior Minister Andreas Geisel has canceled his participation in a conference of interior ministers on Wednesday because of the riots. “Those who burn car tires are not fighting for left-wing open spaces, but are harassing their own neighborhood,” he said.

The riots also drew condemnation from German politicians. Burkard Dregger, the head of the conservative Christian Democratic Union faction in Berlin’s parliament, accused the local ruling left-wing coalition of pandering to the “chaos” and “violence” of the leftist radicals. 

“They created the breeding ground for...violence that Berliners have suffered from for years,” he said.

Karsten Woldeit, a member of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, called on the police to immediately and “decisively” confront those he called “leftist terrorists.” The “hotbeds of violence” should be cleared immediately, he said.

The squatters previously announced violent resistance to the fire inspection of the house which is scheduled for early Thursday morning. Earlier, the district authorities ordered the owner to conduct the inspection or pay a fine of €500,000 ($605,650).

Police have cordoned off nearby areas and announced that access to the district would be granted only to its residents between Wednesday and Friday evening. Law enforcement are preparing for a “major operation,” according to the local media.

The 'Non-Crisis' Reality of Climate Change

..

It is simply not the danger it's made out to be, especially relative to greater dangers

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

In the next 50 years, what do you think is more likely to kill you: a pandemic; a major war, including the use of nuclear, biological or electronic weapons; the income-destroying effects of a global economic meltdown or the effects of global warming?

If you really think sea levels are rising at a non-manageable rate, would you buy a waterfront home? If you really viewed the rise in CO2 levels as an immediate danger, would you fly around in a private jet or invest in a private jet firm? President Biden has appointed John Kerry as the administration’s climate “czar.” Mr. Kerry, whose greatest accomplishment in life (an important talent) seems to have been to marry very wealthy women enabling him to live as a hypocritical dilettante utilizing a private jet, advocates such things as higher taxes on people who are trying to get wealthier by providing goods and services desired by their fellow humans.   

It was reported over the weekend that the great humanitarian and steward of the environment, Bill Gates, and some of his cronies paid $4.7 billion for a “private-jet firm.” Do those rich social-justice warriors who lecture the rest of us about the “crises” of climate change and tell us to ride bicycles, while they live in mansions at the water’s edge and have enormous carbon footprints, believe they are entitled because of inherent superiority or do they know much of what they spew out is just ”malarkey”?

Yes, sea levels are rising — and they have been since the end of the last Ice Age 12,000 or so years ago. Men and women are wonderful engineers — and they are endlessly able to claim land from the sea despite rising sea levels.  Some countries, notably the Netherlands and Singapore, have been able to appreciably increase the size of their land area. 

Miami Beach is an interesting case study.  Much of it did not exist a little over a century ago. A developer, Carl Fisher, pumped much of it up from the seafloor and sold lots on the new land. At the time, he and his colleagues only built the island just a few feet above sea level. 

With rising sea levels and the increased value of the real estate, flooding became a greater danger. The city leaders, rather than evacuating for higher ground, instead decided to increase the elevation of Miami Beach. A major but doable engineering feat is now well underway — far more cost-effective than trying to change the climate or abandoning one of the world’s great residential playgrounds.

Other parts of Florida, mainly on the west coast, are rising on their own, so the state is not getting smaller as the doomsayers predicted decades ago.  Low-lying islands around the world, contrary to earlier predictions, for the most part are not getting smaller or disappearing according to recent global studies. In fact, more are growing for a variety of natural reasons than sinking.

The other great danger, we are told, is the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere from burning hydrocarbons — which is alleged to cause atmospheric warming.  CO2 is a trace gas that animals exhale and plants use as fertilizer — which is why it is pumped into greenhouses. There is no consensus on the optimum level of CO2, but current levels are still below that which is beneficial for most plants. Plants tend to like warmth, water, and CO2 that global warming has provided with the good-side effect of increasing agricultural yields and lowering food prices.

Cold climates are more dangerous for people than warmer climates. It is not just good government and low taxes that cause many New Yorkers to move to Florida. In a new study, climate scholar and former U.S. delegate to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Indur M. Goklany, reports that: “Between 1990 and 2017, the cumulative age-standardized death rate from climate sensitive diseases and events dropped from 8.1% to 5.5%,” and malnutrition has dropped by nine percent. To date, global warming has been a net benefit for mankind.

The number of deadly wildfires, tornadoes and hurricanes has not increased, despite sensational news headlines. In 2020, Atlantic hurricanes were more numerous than average, but were more than offset by a very large drop in Pacific hurricanes. 

Climatologist Judith Curry in a report for the Climate Forecast Applications Network wrote: “Any recent signal of increased hurricane activity has not risen above the background level of natural climate variations. At this point, there is no convincing evidence that manmade global warming has caused a change in hurricane activity.” Lives lost in climate events have been declining for decades as a result of both better forecasting and protective measures.

CO2 emissions have been rapidly declining in the U.S. while greatly increasing in China and India (both of whom continue to build many large coal plants). Atmospheric CO2 is not an immediate crisis but, by the time it might be some decades from now, the safe bet is that cost-effective technologies that do not exist now will have developed to reduce it. 

There are a number of greater dangers to mankind at the moment than climate change — so enjoy the longer summers and less expensive food.

Food is not less expensive in Canada because of Trudeau's carbon tax which raises the cost of everything that moves.

French Muslims: Jews Are Behind Paris Attacks!

BY MICHAEL VAN DER GALIEN 

After the terrorist attacks in Paris, Canadian journalist and entrepreneur Ezra Levant hopped on a plane to France. His mission? To interview French Muslims about the attacks. He wanted to know their views: Who committed these horrific attacks, does it have anything to do with Islam, and does this mean France is at war? If so, a war against whom?

Now, Levant has published a 20-minute video with highlights of these interviews. Although the conversations are in French, his organization, Rebel Media, put English subtitles below them. The results are both troubling and, in some way at least, reassuring.

Let me start with the reassuring part. Most French Muslims Levant talked to condemned the attacks. They made clear they don't want to have anything to do with ISIS and don't share the organization's views and goals.

This has nothing to do with Muslims

So far, so good.

However, many of them also said some things that are extremely troubling. For example, almost every single one of them said ISIS can't possibly have anything to do with Islam. Muslims can't kill innocent people, they say, so ISIS terrorists aren't Islamic.

That is circular reasoning that defies any form of common sense and reality.

Although that may make them feel better about their faith, the problem with that attitude is that it denies reality. If radical Islam is to be defeated, non-extremist Muslims have to be honest with themselves about the problems within their faith. Sadly, many of them clearly aren't prepared for that.

What's more, while condemning the attacks and claiming the terrorists can't possibly be Islamic, many of the interviewees put the blame on... Jews.

And it's not just Jews who are responsible for ISIS, say these "moderate" French Muslims. No, when push comes to shove, it's actually an American organization:

In other words, ISIS isn't Islamic at all! Nope, as far as these enlightened adherents of the Islamic faith are concerned, the group is nothing more or less than a cabal of "really sick" Jews and their capitalist American friends:

As Levant points out in his video, the most troubling part of this is that the interviewee who made this statements doesn't look like a radical Muslim at all. He's not wearing traditional Arabic clothes, nor does he have a long beard. "He looks like a hipster": an average guy and active participant in French society.

Yet his views are anti-American, anti-Semitic and, dare I say it, downright fundamentalist.

It would be one thing if the man who said this was the exception, but Levant's video proves that not to be the case. Many other French Muslims -- men who appear to be completely normal -- share his ideas.

All in all, Levant says about half of the French Muslims he spoke to told him that ISIS was created by "the Jews" and America.

Their reasoning is simple: Muslims don't kill other people, and especially not fellow Muslims. ISIS kills innocent people -- and especially Muslims (in their eyes) -- and so the group can't possibly be Islamic. It's as simple as 1+1=2.

On the other hand, these people are convinced that Jews do kill innocent people -- and Muslims most of all.

Amazing! 1.6 billion Muslims in the world and 16 million Jews - 100 Muslims for every Jew and Muslims are perpetual victims! How pathetic! That in itself should be enough to renounce Islam.

To summarize: ISIS "is an organization that follows the United States and the Jews."

So at best, French Muslims are in denial about ISIS' Islamic views, and at worst, they blame "the really sick Jews and Americans" for the rise of the organization and its attacks in Paris last year.

If it proves one thing it is that France has a massive Islamic problem on its hands.

This reveals that at least half of all French Muslims are living in Fantasyland, in complete denial of reality and 1400 years of history. They are also illiterate when it comes to the Quran. The scary problem is that such people are extremely vulnerable to radicalization when someone actually does teach them the Quran. Right now, they are only being taught to deny reality and hate Jews.
