Austria drops probe of alleged Identitarian links to New Zealand shooting
Austrian prosecutors on Friday confirmed that they had dropped an inquiry into Identitarian activists over possible links with the perpetrator of a shooting in New Zealand in 2019. Martin Sellner, the co-founder of the Identitarian Movement of Austria (IBOe), said the investigation was dropped last month.
Sellner came under investigation together with some of his associates because he had received a donation of 1 500 euros shooter from Brenton Tarrant in 2018. In March 2019, Tarrant shot 51 worshippers in attacks on two mosques in the city of Christchurch. He told AFP that investigations targeting his wife and the IBOe had also been dropped last month.
Prosecutors had mulled charges related to “participation in a terrorist organisation” but the spokesman for the prosecutors’ department in the city of Graz, Hansjoerg Bacher, confirmed to AFP that the investigation had been “dropped”. A court had ruled in 2019 that the raid on Sellner’s home had been illegal.
The IBOe has been described by Austrian intelligence services as “agents of modern right-wing extremism”. According to Austrian media, another investigation against Sellner for suspected fraud is ongoing.
Identitarians have warned of the “Great Replacement” where white Europeans are being deliberately supplanted by non-white immigrants. Tarrant’s manifesto was curiously also titled “The Great Replacement”. According to AFP, this is a “conspiracy theory”.

Germany: Iraqi arrested after sexual abuse of five-year-old girl
Police officers last Thursday arrested a 26-year-old man suspected of sexually abusing a five-year-old girl in Stuttgart. The five-year-old spent the past weekend with relatives. The 26-year-old suspect, who also has his apartment there, looked after the girl for a short time. He allegedly showed her a pornographic video and then touched her indecently. In the following days, the child confided in her mother, who filed a complaint with the police. Police officers then arrested the 26-year-old man. At the request of the public prosecutor’s office, the Iraqi citizen was brought before a magistrate on Friday, who issued the arrest warrant and put it into effect.
Frankfurt International Airport evacuated as armed police swoop on suspect ‘dumping a suitcase and shouting “Allahu Akbar”
A man sparked a mass evacuation and armed response at a German airport when he shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ after police confronted him for not wearing a face mask.
The 38-year-old man, from Slovenia, acted aggressively towards police at Frankfurt International Airport when police approached him for not wearing a face mask at around 5.16pm today.
The man shouted, ‘I will kill you all, Allahu Akbar’, before he abandoned his luggage and attempted to flee the scene. Terminal 1 of the airport was evacuated and footage saw armed officers surrounding a suspect while all passengers were seen standing outside the airport with the regional train station also closed.
A Federal Police Directorate Frankfurt Main Airport spokesman said: ‘A federal police patrol approached a Slovenian man who was not wearing mouth and nose protection.
‘He immediately showed aggressive behavior towards the officers and said, “I will kill you all, Allahu Akbar”.
‘Due to his…behavior, the forces deployed assumed that his statement was serious.
‘The man then tried to flee, but was immediately overwhelmed by the emergency services under threat of a firearm.’
Their statement added that the man, who was ‘known to police’, left his luggage behind when he ‘tried to escape’.
The unattended suitcase led to a large part of the departure hall to be cordoned off.
There were also reports of an armed man in another terminal.
The federal police said in their statement: ‘Since a connection between the two incidents could not be ruled out, this led to the expansion of the cordoning off and evacuation measures.
‘The deployment resulted in greater disruption to air and rail traffic at Frankfurt Airport.’

Germany: Afghan stabbed 17-year-old teenager to death because he thought he had been videotaped against his will with a mobile phone
“Think of your mother, you can do this, keep awake!” Those were the last words Daniel M. could still address to his friend Milo P. (names of the injured parties changed). At that point Milo P.’s gaze was fixed, he collapsed on the street Herzog-Wilhelm-Straße, in the middle of the downtown area of Munich, in broad daylight, blood pouring from his wounds.Milo P. later died of his injuries despite emergency surgery and intensive medical treatment in hospital; he was just 17 years old. Now Amir U. is before the Second Criminal Chamber at the Munich I Regional Court, charged with murder. He is said to have interfered in a quarrel that arose out of a triviality on that afternoon in April 2019.They were in a good mood, had ” had some beer in the English Garden park and had a barbecue”, Daniel M. states in court. It was Good Friday 2019, the shops were all closed and to return the empty beer crate, Daniel, Milo and three other friends took the underground to Stachus to get to the Agip petrol station on the street Josephspitalstraße.On the way there, Milo recorded with his mobile phone out of his good mood. According to the indictment, Baryalei A., who was also walking with two girls on the street Herzog-Wilhelm-Straße, felt disturbed and feared that he was being videotaped. An argument broke out between the groups. “And the guy threw a drink can at Milo,” Daniel M. recounts. According to the prosecution, the verbal assaults were soon followed by physical attacks.Following the argument, Milo noticed that his mobile phone, which he was carrying in his pocket, had broken. “We discussed it in the group and then wanted to go to the guy and talk to him about the broken mobile phone,” Daniel M. said. Then Amir U., Baryalei A.’s best friend according to the indictment, stepped out of a ledge and asked Milo to “sort it out in the park together”. A scuffle then broke out between Milo and the other two. “I didn’t see a knife,” says Daniel M.. But when Milo turned to him, he was suddenly covered in blood all over his body and face. The prosecution writes in its indictment that Amir U. had severed an artery at the level of Milo P.’s collarbone with a stab, then U. allegedly stabbed the injured man several times in the leg.Daniel M. said that he was also attacked and felt blows on his legs. Then a passer-by shouted: “Fuck off, I’m calling the police”, whereupon the attackers disappeared. Only then did he realise that blood was running down his legs and that he was also injured. Milo and he sank to the ground. A friend of his covered Milo’s wounds with a T-shirt. Even today, the young man says, he can still remember the incident; now, at the beginning of the trial, almost every hour. Until now, he had believed he could make it without support. “But I have nightmares, insomnia, I have to seek professional help”.Amir U. wants to talk. The 23-year-old tells his side of the story. He claims that on the day of the crime he was on the phone with his mother in Afghanistan and found out that his father and brother had been killed months ago. Then he got drugs and alcohol and met his friend Baryalei at the Stachus. He told him about an argument over a video. Then he was approached by Milo P. and beaten by four youths.The presiding judge Norbert Riedmann reproaches U. with several inconsistencies, which the accused cannot explain either. After the crime, Amir U. says, he went to the Theresienwiese to play cricket with friends and changed his bloody clothes there. In the evening, some “boys” ambushed him in front of his flat, so he ran away to France. Three weeks after the crime, U. was arrested near Paris.
Germany: With 60 stabs with a knife, a man of Turkish origin slaughtered his ex and her unborn child
More than 60 stab and cut wounds: The killer had brutally massacred his ex (22 years old). The unborn child also died with Juvy-Ann.An inconceivable crime unsettles the city of Hamm.
On Thursday evening at 10.40 p.m., a woman had called 911 – her brother had apparently attacked his former partner.
When the police officers arrived at the dark car park shortly afterwards, they found the woman’s body covered in blood at the side of a garage – hidden by a pile of foliage!
Shortly afterwards, the officers arrested Alim K. (23 years old). “There is strong suspicion of having committed the crime. We have issued an arrest warrant for manslaughter,” says public prosecutor Felix Giesenregen (34 years old).
The young man from Bergkamen remained silent during police interrogation. He has a criminal record for assault and is on probation.
During the post-mortem examination, forensic experts found that Juvy-Ann F. had bled to death. The popular young woman with Filipino roots last lived together with two sisters and her mother in Hamm.
What happened in the hours before her death, what were the motives for the horrific act – these are the questions that a homicide squad of the Dortmund police is now trying to clarify.
Amazon Goes Mad
By James V. DeLong
“Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.” —Euripides
Amazon abruptly de-platformed Parler last week, terminating its web services hosting account with a speed and lack of notice clearly designed to ruin the company.
Amazon covered up this action by a fig leaf of allegations that Parler did not adequately control incitements to violence, or that someone might sometime use Parler to suggest that someone think about using violence, ignoring the extent to which Facebook, Twitter, and other social media freely allow all sorts of Progressive groups to glorify, incite, and condone violence.
By doing this, Amazon has exposed itself to an impressive spectrum of risks, both legal and business. Parler has already filed suit.
Most obvious are contract liabilities. Amazon clearly violated its terms of service, which require adequate notice. In addition, a fundamental of contract law is that every contract contains an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, an obligation violated by destroying a company at the behest of a competitor or political opponent.
Parler also alleges violation of the antitrust laws in that Amazon’s action was designed to help another of its hosting customers, Twitter, a clear transgression if there was any communication between the two.
Moving on, some serious civil rights claims exist. If Amazon and Twitter talked about this action with government officials, then those officials are liable for violating Parler’s constitutional rights in several ways, which makes Amazon and Twitter a part of a conspiracy to this end. Violation of First Amendment free speech rights is the most obvious. Also, though, Amazon and Twitter seem to be interfering with Parler’s efforts to find alternative hosting and legal representation, which would, I submit, transgress the Privileges & Immunities clause of the 14th Amendment.
Given the incestuous current relationship between Big Tech and the Democrats, it is almost a certainty that such conversations took place.
The media, naturally, pooh-poohed the claims and trotted out various experts to minimize them. In fact, though, Amazon’s defenses look thin and would, I would bet, crumble in actual litigation, given an honest court.
The dubious legality of Amazon’s action raises two possibilities about the role of Amazon’s lawyers in this affair, both of which are disturbing.
The first is that the censors did not ask the lawyers, but simply did it or overrode legal cautions. This would mean that the company’s employees are out of control and indifferent to the welfare of the company itself, answerable only to the demands of their woke religion. Note, in particular, that cutting off Parler was of no benefit to Amazon, which bore no responsibility for Parler’s supposed failure to police its users.
The second is that the lawyers gave them the go-ahead on the grounds that thelegal profession is now so corrupted that no court would dare to find for Parler, however meritorious its case. (The courts’ refusal to hear about election fraud supports this theory.) Also, just as lawyers who tried to represent Trump were bullied and intimidated, Amazon might feel certain of its ability to prevent Parler from obtaining adequate representation.
Take your pick of these possibilities, but either creates big business risks for Amazon.
Assume that you are chief information officer of a large company. How can you justify using Amazon as your host server, knowing that you are now naked to the whims of its censors or to the machinations of a competitor with better connections at Amazon than you have? And that Amazon is contemptuous of your ability to get legal relief? Today’s action seems to be a combination of ideology and avarice, but pure financial corruption will not be far behind.
Furthermore, if the CIO queries Amazon about it, what can the company do to reassure him? Nothing. One of the most important assets of any organization is the ability to make a credible promise, and Amazon has, in one stroke, destroyed this asset in a way that is impossible to fix.
When I sometimes get gloomy about the long-term economic prospects in the U.S., a friend in the investment community likes to remind me that America has a big competitive advantage in the form of the rule of law, or “the insiders aren’t allowed to rob you blind!” Amazon has decided to prove him wrong.
As a matter of business prudence, it will be hard for a CIO to justify staying with Amazon. This will be especially true for global companies, which rightly fear the incestuous relations between Big Tech and the new administration. Moving operations offshore looks sensible, if you can find a nation less subject to this toxic stew of woke madness and crony greed.
If you think corporations all over the world are not thinking about this, recognize that directors’ liabilities have expanded greatly over the past few years, largely at the behest of the left. Consult a handbook published by the Seattle-based law firm Perkins Coie on the duties of corporate directors, and judge how well a director meets these if he does not weigh seriously the risks of placing the corporation’s existence at the whims of anonymous Amazon bureaucrats.
The hosting service is the most important part of Amazon’s business, and the deplatforming of Parler will ramify on the consumer side. Asking conservatives to boycott Amazon is not a good idea, because it is an important outlet for small businesses and independent authors. But action is still possible. One can seek out alternatives, or use Amazon to search for products and then order elsewhere. One can return things more readily, or switch from Prime TV to Roku. For Amazon to motivate 75 million conservatives to find ways to annoy it is a dubious business strategy. (Amazon’s directors had better read that handbook, too.)
None of these consequences will play out quickly, but forces have been set in motion that will, in the long run, be detrimental to Amazon.
So, in addition to Euripides, consider an observation of Robert Conquest: “the behavior of any bureaucratic organization can best be understood by assuming that it is controlled by a secret cabal of its enemies.” Or, perhaps, re-read “Ozymandias.”
