Tonight, a cleaner made a shocking discovery in the train depot Cologne-Deutzerfeld: A bomb was placed in the car of a regional train. It is said to have been hidden in a cardboard box.

The dogs of the alarmed federal police then immediately barked at the place where it was found. The box was x-rayed by special forces and the homemade explosive device was finally defused on site by the bomb defusers.

According to the police, it is a so-called “unconventional explosive and incendiary device”, which according to information from the BILD newspaper consisted of a fuse, fireworks, black powder bullets, nails and screws.

According to initial investigations, the ” self-made device” was explosive and could have caused serious injuries to passengers standing around in the compartment due to the splinter effect.The State Office of Criminal Investigation’s Crime Squad is on the scene and securing traces. In addition, all 27 other trains parked there in the depot are searched. According to BILD information, it is still unclear whether this is a failed terrorist attack or a threat or blackmail.

The regional train concerned left Gummersbach for Cologne on Friday. Anyone who has observed anything suspicious should urgently inform the police.

It is still unclear how the perpetrator or perpetrators acted: It could be that the explosive device was only deposited at the terminus in the evening in order to detonate it with great symbolic power the next day, the Day of German Unity.

It is also possible that the bomb was placed on the regional train on Friday and luckily did not explode, so it was only found at night by the cleaning crew.

If it really is a failed terrorist attack, the experts of the State Security consider a right-wing extremist as well as an Islamist background possible. However, the investigations are still in their early stages.

A 22-year-old man attacked an angler with a knife in Taufkirchen (Erding district) because he did not want to lend him his fishing rod. The 32-year-old angler was not injured, as the police announced on Friday. The suspect is in custody because of an attempted homicide.

According to the police, the 32-year-old had been fishing with his father on Thursday on the banks of the Grosse Vils, when a young man asked them for one of their fishing rods. After they refused, the Afghan became angry, but went away. A short time later he returned with a knife. The 56-year-old father was able to fend off the attack until the attacker fled. The police finally arrested the man in a shelter for asylum seekers.

In the course of a traffic control on the highway 3, civil investigators seized an unregistered semi-automatic self-loading rifle and several hundred rounds of ammunition (photo above) from a driver of a Mercedes car in the early afternoon of Thursday (October 1). The police arrested the man from Albania. He is to be brought before a magistrate today.According to the latest findings, the highway patrol officers stopped the car at 11:30 a.m. at the Königsforst junction. After a drug test on the 39-year-old was positive as a result, the officers and a drug detection dog searched for drugs in the vehicle. In the process, the police found the gun and ammunition in the trunk of the car in a suitcase camouflaged with clothing. The civil investigators also secured several thousand euros in cash and two smartphones and ordered a blood sample. The origin of the weapon is subject of the still ongoing investigations.

“A condemnation without appeal. An indelible mark. Social death. The people’s court which takes the place of accommodating justice. In 2020 Google cannot be fought with bare hands and David does not defeat Goliath. ”

These are the first lines of the book (“extraordinary and terrifying”, according to L’Express) in which David Doucet reveals the mechanisms that led to his dismissal as editor-in-chief of Les Inrocks and the disappearance of many personalities.

“La Haine en ligne”, the title of the book for Albin Michel, is a denunciation of the “Internet tribunals”. Doucet was part of the Lol League, an informal group of thirty journalists accused of cyber bullying against feminist colleagues. “In the space of a weekend, my life fell apart. I saw people moving away, I became radioactive”. He says he has not participated in “any harassment”, but in a phone prank which “he regrets because it hurt someone. But losing my job for a joke is for me the crystallization of the excesses of our time”.

Doucet tells of layoffs, depressions and suicide attempts by other colleagues.

“Boycott of personalities, cancellations of conferences, lynchings on social networks … Cancel culture threatens liberalism and freedom of expression”, writes L’Express. “In the USSR as under McCarthyism, purges were frequent. Human nature has not evolved, technology has”.

From J. K. Rowling to Woody Allen, from a lecture by Sylviane Agacinski to the dismissal of the New York Times head of opinion pages James Bennet, there are no counting of eliminations from public life.

Now the news that the Historical Society of Trinity College Dublin, the oldest student debating organization in the world, has withdrawn an invitation to famed biologist Richard Dawkins. The reason? “I was not aware of Dawkins’s opinions on Islam”, the president, Bríd O’Donnell, said on Instagram.

According to Thomas Chatterton Williams, one of the minds behind Harper’s letter against cancel culture, we are at the crossroads: we want everyone, whatever their identity, to feel safe expressing opinions within the limits of free speech, or prefer a “democratization of punishment” in which everyone feels vulnerable? “In the Roman Empire, damnatio memoriae took place post mortem”, writes Doucet. “Today social death is much more cruel”. And there is no right to be forgotten.

“Platforms encourage conflict and indignation, it’s their business model.” Tristan Harris, a former Google engineer, explains that with every indignant word added to a tweet, the retweet rate increases by 17 percent. “We have all become little media agents of ourselves”.

The internet is a breeding ground for ideological vigilantes. “You can destroy people without knowing them.” In the book, American writer Bret Easton Ellis says he is shocked that companies are giving social media credit and firing employees in 24 hours, while Michel Houellebecq tells Doucet: “How did we go from love of freedom to love in such a short time. for the servants?” In a disenchanted society, Doucet concludes, “cancellation is the ritual of social cleansing for those who do not comply”.

Yesterday it was Islam, today it is gender, tomorrow will be another ideological crime…

Instead of wearing the dunce hat and being publicly shamed as in the Maoist purges, now we are attacked and “reported” on social media. But we have the same public sessions of accusations and excuses, the same head hanging down, the same blank stare.

A trial is currently underway in Belgium for two young men of Turkish origin appeared in court for the gang rape of a 14-year-old girl, with a verdict expected on Oct. 16.

“If you ever have a child, I sincerely hope it is a girl, and I hope you go through what I went through. I wish it on you,” the mother of the 14-year-old girl said to two of the three suspected gang rapists of her daughter during a trial in Hasselt court.

The defense responded the rape as “a youthful sin” in response.

A third suspect, who also participated in the rape of the minor, has already been found guilty by a juvenile court. The other two suspects deny that they committed rape, according to Het Belang van Limburg.

The case date from January 2016 and took place in Lommel in the Belgian province of Limburg.

The 14-year-old victim had walked into a kebab shop with a friend when they were approached by a group of young men of Turkish origin. They offered the two young girls a ride home, and convinced one of the 14-year-old girls to come with them.

In the car ride, the men began inappropriately touching her, but were speaking Turkish so that the girl was unable to understand them. 

Once they arrived in the woods, the rape began.

“They stripped her, stomped her and hit her. One of the suspects, weighing 118 kilograms, even laid on her to keep her under control. The other held her feet while she was raped by a third. My client had nowhere to go. Afterwards they dumped the girls at a bus stop,” said the victim’s lawyer. 

The suspects deny that they raped the girl. 

“I did not touch her with my hands even though she gave me oral pleasure,” said one of the suspects. “I was young and stupid. It was not wanted? She even afterwards if we could sleep with them. I myself have a sister of that age and would never do something like that. ”

The prosecutor in the case, however, says the guilt of all the three suspects is clear. 

“Now they stand sheepishly here and say they are ashamed,” said the prosecutor. “Already in the car they could not keep their hands to themselves, and then they drive to the end of the world. That night, the suspects took advantage of girls in a vulnerable situation. Under duress and accompanied by three young men, they took her to a remote place. It is very clear that this is a gang rape. I am demanding 34 months in prison for both of them.”

Gang rape is a major problem in Belgium. Every week, four gang rapes are reported in the country, and authorities believe that many cases also go unreported. No study has been conducted on the ethic background of sexual assault perpetrators in Belgium, but in Sweden, the crime is mostly tied to foreigners.

“In 2018, Swedish newspaper Expressen reported on this growing trend in Sweden. After an investigation into the court cases involving gang rape over the previous two years, the paper found that there were 43 men convicted of the offense. The paper also determined that of the 40 out of the 43 men with gang rape convictions, they were either immigrants who were born abroad or born in Sweden to immigrant parents.

Another investigation also found that since July 2012, there were 112 men and boys convicted for gang rape. Of those, 82 were born outside of Europe. The median age of victims was only 15, while seven out of ten perpetrators were between 15 and 20.”

As of 2015, Belgium had the third highest incidence of violent sexual assaults per 100,000 people, behind Sweden.

During a raid on the Mare Liberum, the Greek police found extensive evidence. No mainstream media outlet in Germany has yet reported on the arrest of 33 employees of German smuggling NGOs on Lesbos for “establishing a criminal association” and “smuggling”. The criminal network is funded by the EU.

On June 18, 2017, Italy documented how the Iuventa of the Berlin NGO Jugend hilft worked with smugglers off Libya and brought charges against the person responsible, Pia Klemp, and nine other crew members for aiding human trafficking. Since then, the NGOs knew that they had to find a way to find the illegal migrants on the high seas without making direct contact with the gangs of smugglers.

That is why the NGO Watch the Med/AlarmPhone was brought into being from the Berlin “cultural center” Mehinghof, which also serves as the headquarters of the NGOs  Mare Liberum, Sea Watch and the research company Flucht & Migration eV, in order to give “those affected by distress at sea a second option” to relay “their call for help to the coast guards”, as their website notes. “A case is documented in real time and further support is mobilized if necessary. In this way – as far as possible – pressure is exerted on those responsible to prevent human rights violations such as pushbacks.”

The AlarmPhone telephone number is distributed “largely in direct contact with refugee communities in the important transit countries of North Africa and in Turkey”, according to the website.

The Greek authorities have been investigating for a year and have now been able to demonstrate how the German NGOs Watch the Med/AlarmPhone, Mare Liberum, Sea Watch and the research company work together to promote illegal migration to Europe. According to the research company, Alarmphone set up a control center in Izmir after the “closure” of the Turkish border in order to coordinate the illegal crossings to Greece.

According to the Hungarian government, the Med/AlarmPhone is supported by Soros-financed “Pro Asyl”, which works closely with tax-financed organizations such as the Evangelical Diakonie, the Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband, the German Red Cross, Caritas, the Arbeiterwohlfahrt, the Malteser, the Federal Association of Networks of Migrant Organizations (Nemo) and the umbrella association of migrant organizations (DaMigra).

The Med/AlarmPhone also maintains a “cooperation” with the Soros-related NGOs “Borderline Europe” and the European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE), which are financed from the EU budget.

Borderline Europe received 140 250 euros from the EU in 2015 for the project “Controversies in European Migration Policy – Granting Protection Versus Border Security” and in 2017 145 000 euros for the project “Bridges instead of walls – Strategies against the stigmatization of refugees”. The European Council on Refugees and Exiles was involved in projects from 2015 to 2019 according to the EU’s FTS financial transparency portal, which were funded to the tune of 5 970 210 euros. Of this, EUR 549 970 went directly to ECRE, and the remaining EUR 5,4 million were not broken down individually.

From 2015 to 2019, a total of 6 255 460 euros went to projects and NGOs related to “Med/AlarmPhone”.

The EU budget rapporteur Joachim Kuhs (AfD) told PI-NEWS: “It is unacceptable that the EU finances NGOs with the taxpayers’ money of hard-working EU citizens that have been set up by an EU country to set up a criminal organization and charged with smuggling. We will ensure that EU funding for human traffickers comes to an end.”

Rick Moranis is one of the few Canadians worth mentioning. I’ve been a fan of his ever since his SCTV days — Take off, hosehead! — and I’ve missed him since he all but retired from acting almost 25 years ago. So it was a big deal when he reemerged last month to do a commercial for Mint Mobile, the cellphone service provider owned by, of all people, Ryan Reynolds:

That was billed as Moranis’ “return to acting.” No offense to Mr. Moranis, but it doesn’t take a lot of theatrical chops to play “baffled by the decision-making process of Ryan Reynolds.” Still, it was nice to see him. 2020 could really use some more Rick Moranis.

But not like this. Larry Celona and Amanda Woods, NY Post:

Actor Rick Moranis was punched in the head in a caught-on-video unprovoked attack on the Upper West Side this week, law enforcement sources told The Post on Friday.

Moranis, 67, was walking south on Central Park West near West 70th Street — steps from his apartment building — around 7:30 a.m. Thursday when a stranger suddenly slugged him, knocking him to the ground, according to police and a surveillance clip…

Moranis, suffering pain in his head, back and right hip, went to a local hospital for an evaluation, cops said.

His attacker is still at large.

Okay, I’ll say it: I don’t think Rick Moranis was targeted by a disgruntled fan of Honey, I Blew Up the Kid. His attacker probably didn’t even know who he is. I suspect this man, who just happens to be African-American, punched Moranis in the face because he’s white. I think Moranis was the target of the Knockout Game.

What’s the Knockout Game? Just what it sounds like. You find a target walking down the street, usually someone elderly and white, and you try to knock him or her out with a single punch. Maybe your friends are recording it, so they can post it to social media and the cops will have an easier time catching you. It’s considered funny, at least among scumbags who enjoy watching old people in pain. It’s committing hate crimes to entertain stupid cowards.

And it’s not racist because the victims are usually white.

Our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters in the press inform us that the Knockout Game doesn’t really exist. It’s a “phony panic” and a “myth.” No matter how many times it happens, no matter how many innocent people are beaten in the street, there’s absolutely no connection. It’s completely random. If you suspect otherwise, that just proves how much of a racist you are.

I wonder if Rick Moranis agrees with that one today?

Maybe now that it’s happened to someone famous, people will start taking it seriously. It’s not just some old white dude you don’t know. It’s Louis Tully from Ghostbusters. Everybody likes that guy and can’t understand why anyone would do this to him. Even BLM activists can’t rationalize this one.

Here’s wishing Mr. Moranis a speedy recovery, and I look forward to his characteristically self-deprecating bon mot about the attack. And may his assailant be afflicted with incurable boils in the most sensitive areas of his body.

Guess that’s just my “white supremacy” talking.

The foreign policy spokesman for the Vienna FPÖ, Leo Kohlbauer, expects the European Union to intervene in Azerbaijan’s armed attack on Armenia. The Turkish despot Erdogan in particular must be disciplined and sanctioned by the EU if he does not immediately stop his support for Azerbaijan, he said.

“Turkey obviously sees a new opportunity here to destroy the Armenians they hate,” said Kohlbauer, recalling the discussion about recognizing the massacre of the Ottoman Empire against the Armenians in 1915-16 as ‘genocide’.

Kohlbauer sees the aggression of Islamic Azerbaijan as a new attempt to Islamize the region – Christian Armenia is a logical victim here and Erdogan’s support is not surprising. “The same claims to power that Erdogan makes here in the west also apply in the east. Turkey and political Islam – that is a highly dangerous combination,” said Kohlbauer and called on the EU to take immediate action to save lives and avoid suffering.

The EU must now step in and mediate between the conflicting parties on the one hand, but on the other hand immediately force the Turkish dictator to give up his interference under threat of severe sanctions.

“If Erdogan wants to show Europe how determined and powerful he is, Europe must now show Erdogan that it is more determined and powerful. Too often we have given in to the sensitivities of Turkey,” added Kohlbauer. “Turkey tries to create Turkish conditions wherever there are Turks. It is up to us to make it clear to them that there are no Turkish rules outside Turkey,” concluded Kohlbauer.
