“Death to Armenians” and “Order Us to Go to War” were some of the slogans being chanted on Tuesday night in Baku’s main Azadliq (Liberty) Square where thousands of protesters were demanding an all out war with Armenia, after 11 Azerbaijani soldiers, among a them a high-ranking general, were killed during three days of fighting after Azerbaijani forces attempted to breach the border with Armenia at Tavush Province on Sunday.

Observers are describing the Wednesday rally as one of the largest in Azerbaijan. The Turan news agency estimated the crowd to number at 50,000 who are angry at the losses suffered by Azerbaijani forces at the border and were calling for the government to declare war.

Before the protest was dispersed by police, a number of demonstrators briefly occupied the parliament building.

The lasted well into the early hours of Wednesday morning. Demonstrators chanted a number of pro-war slogans, including: “End the quarantine, start the war,” “order us to go to war,” “Hey soldier, get up and cross that border” and the tried and true Azerbaijani slogan: “Death to Armenians.”

In addition to chanting pro-war slogans, the protesters also called for the resignation of Najmaddin Sadigov the long-serving Armed Forces Chief of Staff and Deputy Defense Minister.

The demonstration comes as reports were confirmed that Azerbaijani units had surrounded their own villages on the border and were using civilians as human shields in their advance toward the Armenian border.

According to Azerbaijani media, a smaller gathering of several thousand people rallied in nearby Sumgait, where the body Major-General Polad Gashimov, the high-ranking Azerbaijani official killed on Monday, was due to arrive. Gashimov is reportedly the highest ranking member of Azerbaijan’s armed forced to be killed in combat since Azerbaijan broke away from the USSR.

Of course, Sumgait is the Azerbaijani city where thousands of Armenians were brutally massacred in 1988 after hundreds of thousands of Armenians in Stepanekert rose up to call for Artsakh’s reunification with Armenia–expressing their right to self-determination–sparking the Artsakh Liberation Movement.

Government officials arrived at the rally to try and calm the crowd, seemingly to no avail. At one point, protestors apparently overturned a police vehicle.

In the early hours of Wednesday, riot police moved in and began to disperse the crowds with batons and water cannons, making numerous arrests. Tear gas was also reportedly used. Reportedly, some 100 people were arrested.

Last month, during the Black Lives Matter protests, demonstrators in Bristol, England, threw the statue of slave trader Edward Colston into the River Avon. However, on Wednesday, a new statue depicting one of the BLM protesters appeared on the plinth of the removed statue.

The piece was created by British artist Marc Quinn, who was inspired by a photo posted on social media networks, which depicts the protester Jen Reid as she stepped on an empty plinth and raised her right fist.

“My friend … showed me a picture on Instagram of Jen standing on the plinth in Bristol with her fist in a Black Power salute,” said Quinn, who contacted Reid to get her permission to create the sculpture.

Quinn officially called his work A Surge of Power (Jen Reid) 2020. However, the sculpture, created from black resin, will probably not remain on the plinth as the artist did not discuss putting up the piece with local authorities.

Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees confirmed that the installation of the statue had not been requested or authorized by the city on his Twitter account.

However, Quinn has already prepared a back-up plan for the statue, intending to sell it and donate the profits to two charities that promote the inclusion of Black history in school curricula.

While many have praised the statue, some people on social media pointed out that the Black Lives Matter movement is also related to the attempts of the radical left to dismantle current economic and social structures.

“I find it hard to believe people with lifting gear erect that statue and nobody saw it, no CCTV captured anything? Something stinks in Bristol…its the wiping of history and culture and replacing it with a Marxist culture that’s never worked anywhere. Do something,” says one of the comments under the Bristol Mayor´s post.

The number of members and supporters of the US and EU-designated terrorist organization the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) has dramatically increased in Germany, The Jerusalem Post can report.According to a review of the newly released German domestic intelligence service report, the number of PFLP members rose from 100 in 2018 to 120 in 2019. The intelligence report was released on Friday and covers the period of 2019.

The report noted that there are 120 PFLP “members/supporters in Germany.” An exact breakdown of members and supporters was not outlined. It is unclear what caused the 20% increase; the document provided no explanation.The Post has observed PFLP activity at the annual al-Quds march in Berlin that calls for the destruction of the Jewish state. The founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. created the al-Quds (Jerusalem) global rally.Writing in the Post in May, Jonathan Spyer, director of the Middle East Center for Reporting and Analysis, noted that “This growing PFLP-Iran connection is not a new revelation. It has been well reported in recent years.”The PFLP was founded in 1967 and is animated by a Marxist-Leninist doctrine coupled with radical Arab nationalism.The German intelligence officials wrote that the “PFLP rejects Israel’s existence” and “propagates an armed struggled” against Israel. According to the report, the terrorist group cooperates with other foreign terrorist jihadi political movements such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

The report said that the PFLP has carried out terrorist attacks resulting in victims. “And here the PFLP reveals its antisemitic character” by targeting Jewish Israelis, wrote the intelligence officials. It denies this antisemitism to the outside world.The PFLP is not active as a terrorist group in Germany, noted the report. However, it is unclear from the report if the PFLP members and supporters use Germany as a financial pipeline to send money to the group and other terrorist entities in the Middle East.“The supporters active here spread anti-Israel propaganda in particular and try to generate political support. The PFLP also maintains contacts with German left-wing extremism, especially with the Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany (MLPD) and the anti-imperialist spectrum,” wrote the authors.In 2014, two PFLP members murdered four rabbis and a police officer in a Jerusalem synagogue.While the EU and the US have labeled the PFLP a terrorist entity, Germany refuses to ban the group. The Post first reported in April that the German government issued a four-year travel ban against Khaled Barakat, a senior member of the PFLP who allegedly supports terrorism and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against the Jewish state. Barakat has also provided material aid to the Lebanese terrorist movement Hezbollah. PFLP members and supporters are highly active in the German BDS campaign against Israel.

Antifa is considered a terrorist group because it employs violence in pursuit of political power. What will happen if they attain it? Portland suggests the answer. Thanks to fellow travelers like Mayor Ted Wheeler, Antifa wields almost as much power there as Black Lives Matter does at the New York Times. The city has been sacked by barbarians — or as the liberal media calls them, “peaceful protesters.”

Antifa brownshirts have been wreaking havoc for 6 weeks straight:

[L]ocal businesses have reported $23 million in losses due to looting and rioting that have gripped its downtown area since the end of May.

Demonstrators have been seen lighting mattresses on fire and setting off fireworks in the streets.

Lacking serious opposition, leftist goons grow ever more aggressive:

Just this weekend, a federal officer protecting a closed courthouse was struck in the head and shoulder with a hammer as protesters attempted to break down the court’s door. The courthouse suffered an estimated $50,000 in damages, according to KGW.

Have a look at the hammer. That was attempted murder. I’m no lawyer, but I would guess that assault with the intent to kill when the victim is a federal officer performing his duties qualifies as insurrection, especially given that Antifa openly advocates overthrowing our system of government. Pace the media, this is not “protest.” It is violent revolution.

Federal officers have had to be deployed to defend federal properties, because having succumbed to liberalism, local officials will not maintain public order. Wheeler has predictably sided with the rioters.

Fueled by the liberal establishment’s support of Black Lives Matter, the situation will continue to escalate until federal authorities employ lethal force. When they do, the media will eagerly exploit it to create pro-rioter propaganda.

Meanwhile,

Deputy Police Chief Chris Davis … pledged support for the Black Lives Matter movement…

Signaling submission is not an effective means of warding off bullies.

The collapse of law and order has had the same effect on crime rates that we have seen elsewhere:

Portland witnessed a 380 percent increase in shootings over the past year. Five homicides occurred within a 24 hour period this weekend.

You can do the same thing to your own town. Just keep voting Democrat.

Conservative Resurgence has more on how the situation in Portland has been deteriorating:

Berlin police have been conducting raids in the facilities of alleged Islamists since Wednesday morning, Berlin’s public prosecutor’s office said on Wednesday.

“Currently, investigators of the Berlin Criminal Investigation Division, at the request of the prosecutor’s office, are executing 20 search warrants against 12 people suspected of having links to Islamist circles and having committed various crimes, including the financing of terrorism,” the office wrote on Twitter.

According to the RTL broadcaster, citing the police, 450 law enforcement officers are involved in the operation. The police primarily conducted searches in apartments and non-residential premises. In total, the raids took place at 19 sites in various districts of the city.

A new escalation level has been reached. Dissatisfied asylum seekers, who act as if they were self-paying business travellers in a home built especially for them, in the middle of a charming landscape conservation area in Frankfurt on the Main, have been a frequent sight. What is new, however, is that the responsible authorities and operators of such accommodations, in their blatant helplessness in conflict situations, know no other way to help themselves than to involve a Muslim Imam, so to speak as a “person of respect”, mediator and last instance.Because the residents there were using illegal hotplates, the power supply was constantly overloaded and therefore it was completely switched off. For reasons of fire protection.Of course, the refugees, who were supposedly restricted in their autonomy, did not understand this and went on a rampage.Thereupon, no harsh measures were taken, as would probably have happened in all reason-based countries of the world, but a religious authority from the nearby mosque was involved through the mediation of the police and the home management – the Diakonie in Frankfurt.Because, according to their own statements, a “spiral of suspicion” had long existed between the touchy people seeking protection and the church home managers. The compromise worked out by the imam in this case is: from now on halal food and drinks are prepared and delivered to the touchy guests by an external catering service. Naturally in accordance with their culture and religion. For the moment they are thus calmed for the time being.Once again, it has been shown that state institutions and executive powers, which are respected as authorities by all other citizens here in the country, are not accepted in such communities, indeed sometimes not even acknowledged. They are therefore at best seen as annoying servants who have to look after and serve you. And of course cleaning up the dirt.

Totally overburdened home managers and unsettled police units are the sad result of this.

Here our constitutional state, which otherwise takes action with extreme severity against speeders, parking offenders, people who refuse to pay radio licence fees, or even ” right-wingers”, simply can no longer assert itself.The “culturally sensitive” employment of an imam as an indication of one’s own ridiculousness means nothing less than the complete capitulation and subordination to the aggressive new citizens – who in the end always get exactly what they want.It is only a short way from being a host to being a servant. Not a good omen for the future.
