From Sassy:
Happening in Germany, this evening, I figure Berlin: they are going on full offensive.
Click the links to see the videos. Very low res. Something odd about all this. Can someone in Germany confirm this is Berlin? Are there real videos of this out there?
Also the event was an hour or so ago as of now, no longer live.

Against a backdrop of Antifa/Black Lives Matter rioting in Philadelphia, police found what looks like a truck bomb, an abandoned truck left in the middle of the street loaded with explosives, which, if they had gone off, could have been disastrous.
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — An investigation is underway in Philadelphia after police find explosives and other suspicious cargo inside a van at Logan Circle on Wednesday night.
Action News has learned that police recovered propane tanks, torches and possible dynamite sticks from the van.
The bomb squad is investigating. There is no immediate word on who owns the van or if anyone has been arrested.
The discovery comes as the city remains on heightened alert following nights of unrest stemming from the police killing of Walter Wallace Jr.
If it is what it looks like, it signals that the domestic terrorists’ war on America is going to a newer and much more dangerous level. A working analysis suggests that up until now, they’ve contented themselves with burning and looting shops, creating big fires, assaulting cops and the elderly, and terrorizing outdoor diners. It may be that the impact of that has worn off, and nobody’s paying as much attention now. And with an election on, some Democratic pols suddenly are tut-tutting their looting and violence. So to stay scary and relevant, they’re taking it to a sickening new Weather Underground–style level with truck bombs.
This is the kind of thing that went on in Medellín, Colombia in the 1980s and 1990s as drug lord Pablo Escobar (working with the Marxist M-19 urban guerrilla movement) sought to take over. He borrowed the idea (and training) from the Irish Republican Army to spread terror and empty the streets so that only drug lords would have freedom of movement. When I visited Medellín a few years ago, people would tell me they were terrified to walk down the street because any parked car could be a two-ton mega-bomb. Public art was a target, too — a huge bronze Botero statue depicting peace had a bomb planted in it and was torn to shreds. The aim was always to spread terror.
The Weather Underground was there, too, bombing and killing to cause terror, a logical outcome of the 1960s and its woke radicalism and campus protest. Bill Ayers, who eventually became young Barack Obama’s mentor, was the leader of the orgy of robberies, bombings, and killings, ending the life of at least one police officer and spreading terror and mayhem as an adoring media romanticized them. “Guilty as sin, free as a bird,” he sneered when a wokester jury let this son of a corporate titan off for his many crimes at trial. After that, he went to teach in public universities, developing woke curricula for schools to teach children to hate their country. “I don’t regret setting bombs,” Ayers said. “I feel we didn’t do enough,” he told the Times in the interview that ran on 9/11. He’s also the stepfather of San Francisco’s chaos-agent district attorney, Chesa Boudin, whose refusal to prosecute violent crimes has left victims furious and San Francisco a hellhole. The Weather Underground with its alliance with the Black Panthers, in many ways, is comparable to the Antifa/BLM chaos duopoly of today.
There’s still no word on who was responsible for the truck filled with explosives at a time of riot, but there’s a pattern that suggests a good place to look might be Antifa.
James Jay Carafano of the Heritage Foundation has an excellent analysis of just how likely is might be that the de facto truck bomb could be linked to Antifa and BLM, based on what is happened so far with their past riots:
For starters, the violence is organized criminal activity. The same destructive activists have been identified at different times in different cities around the country. For example, in August, eight members of the Seattle-based group Riot Kitchen were arrested after wreaking havoc in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Such groups are well-supported, as seen in the viral video of a rented U-Haul truck that appeared in Louisville, Kentucky, immediately after the grand jury verdict was announced in the Breonna Taylor case. The truck was stocked with riot gear and anti-police banners.
They are well-funded. In Grand Rapids, Michigan, for instance, the Michigan Solidarity Bail Fund posted $120,000 bail for rioters. Nationwide, bail funds have received tens of millions of dollars in donations in recent months.
These organized groups have no interest in demonstrating peacefully. They are showing up intending to commit violence. In Portland, Oregon, rioters came to the Portland courthouse armed with fireworks, Molotov cocktails, a circular saw, crowbars, rocks, frozen water bottles and spikes – all instruments for conducting offensive actions.
The Riot Kitchen was a leftist collective with its origins in Antifa’s Seattle CHOP zone. It was picked up by the cops in Kenosha with a supposed food truck full of war-fighting equipment, canned gasoline, and firework explosives. There was also an Antifa U-Haul truck incident in Kentucky. Like the 1995 Oklahoma City bomber, they seem to like trucks.
Now there’s this mysterious truck full of explosives in Philadelphia during its riots. Anyone see a pattern? Maybe Antifa is more than just “an idea” as FBI director Christopher Wray described to Congress (and you can bet Antifa was snickerin). It takes big money and significant organization to create a truck bomb, bigger still when it’s a pattern of using trucks to cause mayhem, often filled with explosives.
These groups thrive when law enforcement is asleep, as unfortunately appears to be the case of the FBI. Maybe they’re being quiet about it, but we have yet to see any busts, takedowns, or arrests, not with a group that has Democratic allies and endorsers in Congress. Assorted Antifa Twitter sites endorse Joe Biden. Philadelphia’s Antifa has been quiet in the past month or so and tweets mostly about its tangles and attacks on the Proud Boys, but they recently posted a gif of a puppet called ‘Gritty’ that interests them against a backdrop of fire.
With truck bombs coming into the picture, maybe this group should draw more attention from law enforcement. The mystery is why it’s not happening.
A young Black man attacked an elderly commuter on a tram in Reims, northern France, on Tuesday after the man allegedly warned the youth to wear his face mask, which was initially folded over his chin, local newspaper L’Union reports.
In the video, a young man can be seen attacking “an old man” sitting “in a bus in Reims,” according to comments on the web. It is in fact a tram, which a close examination of the images could show even before the police confirmed that fact. The “Vesle” stop appears for a brief moment on a luminous display and only trams run on rue de Vesle line.
The date of the video is not yet known, but the investigation opened on Tuesday after its massive dissemination on social networks led to the arrest of the alleged perpetrator, who was already known to police. He is currently in police custody while the elderly man — who did not file a complaint — is still wanted for questioning. The investigators launched a call to find him. They are requesting that this person, or those who know him, to contact the Reims police.
The 40-second video consists of several sequences that appear to be out of order. It does not show the start of the altercation. According to those who initially posted it, the elderly man with a cane asked the young man to put on his facemask, which was folded over his chin. In the video, the youth walks towards the pensioner who is pointing his cane at him. He grabs it, slaps the victim on the forehead, and is pushed back with the cane.
In the next clip, the youth can be seen standing in his seat. He then rushes the man and throws punches in the direction of the elderly man without managing to touch him thanks to a commuter who intervenes.
Informed of this video by internet users, the Reims police asked internet users not to share it any longer, informing the citizens on its Twitter page that the video evidence had been taken into account and the investigation was underway.
“The investigation is open for violence committed in public transport,” said Reims prosecutor Matthieu Bourrette. This qualification is important because it is an aggravating circumstance which makes this scene of violence a crime, even if the victim was not injured. The maximum penalty is five years in prison.

A loud argument, clattering, clinking, screaming – and then suddenly everything was silent.
Terrible bloody deed Tuesday afternoon in an apartment building on Hammersbecker Street in Bremen’s Vegesack district. A 25-year-old woman was stabbed to death with a knife. The suspected perpetrator is her husband (24 years old).
The young woman died in the flat!
After the crime he fled to his parents. Together they then alerted the police.
Around 6 pm the ambulance crew stormed into the flat. Too late! The emergency doctor could only confirm the death of the woman.
“Whether the woman would have had a chance of survival if the rescue services had been called in earlier is currently being investigated by the homicide squad,” said a police spokesperson.
The man was arrested.
According to the newspaper Bild, he is said to be a Turk with a German passport.

French police have shot dead a man in the tourist city of Avignon after a terror attack put the country on high alert.
Local police opened fire at 11.15am local time after the man threatened passersby with a handgun. No other casualties were reported.
Police were also reportedly threatened in the incident which is not being treated as terror-related.
Initial reports claimed that he shouted “Allahu Akhbar” during the stand-off with police.
Officers first attempted to stun the suspect with a taser but opened fire when he continued to charge at them.
The incident occurred just hours after three people were killed at the Notre Dame basilica in Nice on Thursday morning.
In another incident, a man was arrested in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, after attacking a guard with a “sharp tool” in the city’s French consulate.
The incident happened in Montfavet, a neighbourhood several kilometers from Avignon’s city centre.
French news reports suggest the man had a “psychiatric history” and may have been a mental health patient at a nearby hospital.
It is believed the deceased suspect is of Turkish origin, according to early reports.
France has raised the security alert for French territory to the highest level, Prime Minister Jean Castex said.
He also told the French National Assembly that the government’s response to the attack would be firm and implacable.
France is still reeling from the beheading earlier this month of middle school teacher Samuel Paty by a man of Chechen origin.
The attacker had said he wanted to punish Paty for showing pupils cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a civics lesson.
It was not immediately clear what the motive was for the Nice attack, or if there was any connection to the cartoons, which Muslims consider to be blasphemous.
Since Paty’s killing, French officials – backed by many ordinary citizens – have re-asserted the right to display the cartoons, and the images have been widely displayed at marches in solidarity with the killed teacher.
That has prompted an outpouring of anger in parts of the Muslim world, with some governments accusing French leader Emmanuel Macron of pursuing an anti-Islam agenda.
At least two people were beheaded inside the Notre-Dame basilica in Nice at around 9am just as morning service started, with several others injured.
Police are understood to have shot the alleged perpetrator who shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he was arrested and taken to hospital.
Two victims – a man and a woman – had been decapitated, it has been confirmed. “Both victims were beheaded,” said the police spokesman, pointing to “a terrorist attack”.
It was also confirmed that one of the deceased was a church warden.

Terror alert and major police operation in Cologne at the beginning of October! A nail bomb had been discovered in a parked regional train, which only later turned out to be non-functional. A man (21 years old) from Lüdenscheid, who was arrested almost a week later, confessed to the crime. On Wednesday new details about his motive became known.
The Syrian refugee is said to have deposited the alleged explosive device because, according to his own statements, he was “dissatisfied with the processing of his asylum application and his current status under aliens law”. This is the result of a report by the North Rhine-Westphalian Ministry of the Interior to the state parliament in Düsseldorf.
After entering Germany in September 2017, the suspect had applied for asylum and received a residence permit in August 2020. During interrogation, he stated that he assumed that the parcel would be found immediately – and that he could thus draw attention “to his current living situation”.
When the package, which had initially been hidden in a rubbish bin, was not discovered, he went to the toilet again on the train journey from Lüdenscheid to Engelskirchen and put it in a more visible place.Shortly after the man’s arrest, the police reported: “The 21-year-old’s motive was dissatisfaction with his precarious social situation. He had wanted to attract public attention with his crime.As the Ministry informed the Home Office, the parcel was wrapped in adhesive tape and a fuse was sticking out. “The package contained an explosive (black powder pellets/pyrotechnical powder from New Year’s Eve rockets), two firecrackers about 2-3 cm long, fibreglass insulation and mixed in metal balls, nails and screws. It was a homemade, non-functional bomb,” the report said.So far, according to the Ministry, the suspect has been completely unpunished. Now he is under investigation for disturbing the public peace by threatening to commit crimes in de facto unity with pretence of a crime.

French police “neutralised” and arrested a man Thursday morning after a knife attack inside a church in the city of Nice which left at least three dead and several injured.
A mass stabbing in the southern French city of Nice was declared a terror attack on Thursday, after an unidentified assailant killed three — two women and a man — and wounded several others inside the city’s Notre Dame church around 0900 hours, Western European Time (0400 EST).
The exact number of injured is unknown, but among them is the attacker themself, who was taken to hospital while under arrest, presumably having been injured during the arrest.
The mayor of Nice and the regional president, Eric Ciotti, have both called the killings a “terrorist attack” and France’s specialist terrorism investigation office has taken over the investigation from local officers, reports Le Figaro. In the parlance of French law, the investigation is in relation to suspected “assassination in connection with a terrorist enterprise, attempted assassination in connection with a terrorist enterprise and criminal association of terrorist criminals.”
Within an hour of the attack taking place, French national police urged locals to not be alarmed by the sound of explosions, as a bomb disposal unit was working to clear the area. This does not necessarily imply the attacker had left a bomb, however, as it is standard police practice to clear the area of an attack of all suspicious items as a precaution.

Everyone knows the old joke that “even paranoid people have enemies.” Perhaps that needs to be expanded to say, “even conspiracy theorists sometimes stumble across real conspiracies.” During his Wednesday night show, Tucker Carlson said a source had sent documents about more Biden shenanigans to Fox News’s New York office. Carlson’s producer forwarded the documents to Los Angeles, where Carlson was interviewing Tony Bobulinsky – but the documents vanished along the way.
Carlson explained that, on Monday, his producer deposited the envelope with a major American shipping company. However, by Tuesday morning, the shipping company notified Carlson’s team that the envelope was now open and empty.
The shipping company carefully tracked the envelope’s progress across the country, beginning in Manhattan. It learned that at 3:44 in the morning on Tuesday, an employee noticed that the envelope was open and empty. The company interviewed every employee who touched the envelope and searched the drop-off office, the airplanes, the trucks, and the sorting warehouse through which the envelope passed. It found nothing. According to Carlson, the company has no idea what happened and doesn’t like it.
We must hope that the source who sent the documents in the first place made copies. Or perhaps that Fox News in Manhattan made copies. That’s just common sense when allowing anything unique and valuable information to leave your custody.
Now for the paranoid, conspiracy theory part. This theory’s predicate is that it wasn’t random that, of all the envelopes that pass through the shipping company’s hands, this was the one that ended up open and empty. If the documents’ vanishing wasn’t accidental, it means that someone knew what was in that envelope and could track it until the point at which it could be intercepted.
There are only two reasonable choices for that someone: A Fox News employee and a member of America’s intelligence agencies. The Fox News employee would have known what the envelope contained, but there’s very little likelihood that the employee would have the resources to track the package and abscond with the contents. If that’s true, the most likely suspect is someone working in government intelligence.
Four years ago, I would never have considered for a second that agents were spying on an American media outlet, tracking documents, and stealing them. It sounds like the plot of a silly novel or movie.
However, a lot has changed in four years. We’ve learned that actors in America’s intelligence agencies have actively engaged in spy-craft within America’s borders to affect political outcomes. If the Swamp could attempt a coup against a duly elected president, why shouldn’t we assume that the same Swamp rats would interfere with the media to protect one of their own?
Incidentally, when I say “one of their own,” I mean someone whom they could control. Writing at Conservative Treehouse, Sundance points out something obvious: America’s spy agencies must have been fully aware of Biden’s activities (since he was Vice President when he was arranging these deals for his family), and they could scarcely have been unaware of Hunter Biden’s drug problems, sexual excesses, and big-money deals as he followed his father around the world:
So, knowing that, why did the U.S. intelligence apparatus not do anything about it?
[snip]
Yet, at no point did anyone do anything to try and stop the construction of the schemes?
It just doesn’t make any sense… unless….
…Unless the objective of those within the U.S. intelligence background (writ large) was to capture and retain all of this information as part of a black file for use as leverage/control later on against a Biden administration, and likely the Biden family.
[snip]
The transparent lack of effort by the U.S. intelligence community to intercept the Biden issues well in advance of the compromise of national security, is alarming. However, it must be considered their lack of action was a purposeful decision…. and then the motive of those entities really becomes the bigger question.
Yes, it sounds farfetched but, as I said, we already know that there are people in the United States government who will stop at nothing to control the person in the White House – and, if they can’t control him, to remove him.
Until I hear from Tucker Carlson’s lips that the materials were found safe and that their temporary absence had an entirely innocent cause, I’m sorry to say that some part of me is going to suspect America’s intelligence agencies.
