The District Court in Litoměřice in the north of Czechia sentenced Libyan immigrant Abdallah Ibrahim Diallo to two years in prison for raping a 15-year-old girl and stealing her mobile phone in 2019.

However, according to experts, Diallo is mentally ill, so the court has decided that he should enter treatment in a psychiatric hospital before serving any prison time. It is unclear how long he will be placed in a psychiatric facility or at what point he will be released to a prison.

While the Libyan did not confess to the crime, there was irrefutable evidence that he was responsible for the rape.

“It is proven that the crime, as described in the indictment, actually happened. The incriminating evidence consists of a detailed statement of the victim, the DNA of the accused man found on her body and clothes, and the fact that he had her phone in his possession,” said the chairwoman of the court, Alexandra Šetková.

The Libyan man originally arrived in the Czech Republic by train from Germany where he unsuccessfully applied for asylum. On June 18, 2019, he raped the then 15-year-old girl near the village of Lukavec in the north of the Czech Republic.

Initially, no psychiatric report was requested but doubts about the defendant’s mental state arose due to his strange behavior in custody. Experts then confirmed that the man suffered from schizophrenia, but stated that his control and cognitive abilities at the time of the crime were not non-existent but only in a reduced state.

“He had at least the basic awareness that raping is illegal,” the judge said.

Although Diallo originally faced up to ten years in prison, given his mental illness, the public prosecutor proposed a sentence of around three years. The final sentence the judge gave amonted to two years.

The court then recommended treatment in a psychiatric hospital as the defendant could be dangerous to himself and the people around him if he was placed in prison right away.

However, the mild verdict infuriated many people, including members of the Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) party.

“Mental disorders have become hugely popular when trying to excuse the crimes of illegal migrants. How many times have we heard from Western Europe that foreigners committing the most heinous crimes suffer from a mental illness?! Unfortunately, we are now witnessing the same scenario in our country as well,” the party wrote on Facebook.

Project Veritas ought to be called Project Fortitudo so as to recognize the mind-boggling bravery of an undercover operative who infiltrated the Rose City Antifa organization in Portland, Oregon, one of the oldest active Antifa groups in America.  The anarcho-leftist Antifa specializes in violent street fighting, putting at extreme risk anyone who goes into the group with a hidden camera.

That’s the risk a Project Veritas investigator took, beginning sometime in the past, but at least eleven months ago.  (To protect the investigator’s identity, the year in which he began his undercover operation is bleeped out.)

Although Antifa has leapt to prominence in the past few days, as it’s joined forces with Black Lives Matter to wreak havoc in American cities, conservatives have been aware of it for some time.  For most of us, Antifa became a concern beginning with the Berkeley rioting when the Berkeley Republicans invited conservative speakers, such as Milo Yiannopoulos and Ben Shapiro, to the U.C. campus.  Even the Washington Post noticed that Antifa had a problem.

Antifa members showed up and engaged in extreme violence, including setting fire to the campus.  As a hint that Antifa is the paramilitary arm of the Berkeley Democrat party, the mayor told the police to stand down as Antifa and other leftist organizations beat conservatives with poles, pepper spray, and fists.  Rose City Antifa gets the same sweet treatment from Portland’s mayor.

No wonder, then, that some of the most extreme Antifa violence in America has taken place in Portland.  Andy Ngo, who has taken it upon himself to document what Antifa is doing, was so badly assaulted at a Portland riot that he suffered a brain bleed, something that can lead to death or permanent mental disability:

During the current riots, this is what Antifa is doing in Portland (warning: graphic):

You’ll want to keep the above image in mind as you watch the Project Veritas video, which opens with images of Antifa violence, not just in America, but around the world.  (It even includes a quick shot of the above video.)  The video describes how people are processed and trained to become full-fledged Antifa members.  Joining requires identity-verification interviews and training.

What’s shocking about the video is how the people doing the training are focused on violence, societal disruption, and hating Trump.  Lecturers tell trainees that the “whole goal of this, right, is to get out there and do dangerous things as safely as possible,” obviously meaning that Antifa members should bring the danger to others without harming themselves.

To give a sense of the violence inherent in Antifa, Project Veritas shows the moment that Nicholas Cifuni, in the “Recon and Tactics” class, tells his trainees to “practice things like an eye gouge.  It takes very little pressure to injure someone’s eyes.”  Cifuni also reminds his trainees that their job isn’t just to land a picture-perfect kickboxing blow.  Their job is “destroying the enemy.”

Something that’s just as jarring, although less interest-grabbing than obscenities and eye-gouging, is the investigator’s sense that Antifa is well funded and has an international organization:

They were getting this tradecraft from someone else, someone with much more experience, someone who did this for a living. Caroline, which [sic] is the founder of RCA, moved to Sweden with her husband, who is a dual citizen. So, there is a back and forth with a European connection. …

With RCA, it seems much more structured. Almost like a company or like a business. So, I feel like there is some type of outside funding, influence, or resources being used.

As is the case with all Project Veritas investigations, more videos will follow.  The more Americans who see them the better, because it will help them understand who is taking over their cities and why President Trump was right to label Antifa a domestic terrorist organization.

The European Union will find itself under renewed migration pressure as coronavirus movement restrictions are lifted and people smuggling on the Balkans route is expected to rise anew, the Vienna-based International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) said in its latest update.

The report, compiled by Martin Hofmann, warns that by autumn, the number of migrants seeking to enter the EU will again have reached the levels of the previous year when there was a surge in migrants from Venezuela and Columbia, who submitted asylum requests in various EU member states. The surge from the two South American countries was due to growing social and political problems in those countries and the fact that their citizens did not require visas to travel to Spain before the movement restrictions.

The ICMPD report also stated that the negative economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic could also be a contributing factor in the rise of migration, as more people will be left in untenable economic conditions and even many members of the well-schooled middle classes of Africa and the Middle East may try their luck by attempting to reach the EU.

Morocco and Libya will probably take center stage, while people smuggling on the Balkans route — a lucrative proposition for organized crime groups — may surge again. At the same time, Turkey has once again threatened to send the country’s estimated 4 million migrants to Europe once the coronavirus crisis ends, which has prompted Greece to seal its land border with Turkey by expanding fencing across the entire Greek side of the Evros River.

Slovenia says 10,000 migrants are seeking to enter EU on Balkans route

Hofmann said a lot will depend on how individual EU member states will regulate foreigners’ access to their labor markets, but it is also likely that the more expensive or hazardous migration routes — such as the Mediterranean — will also see increased traffic.

The ICMPD report also stated that actual migrant numbers will depend on a significant degree on the amount the EU is willing to pay Turkey to keep migration in check. One day before the report was released, Austrian Minister of Interior Karl Nehammer, during a meeting with the region’s ministers of interior, proposed that the countries along the Balkans migration route be given additional support to protect their borders.

The meeting was attended by relevant officials of Austria, Bosnia-Hezregovina, Croatia, Hungary, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia, and it was indirectly triggered by Slovenian police reports warning that currently more than 10,000 people are seeking to enter the EU via the Balkans route. Slovenia has responded by sending over 1,000 police officers to the Croatian border.

In the past two weeks, as Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina gradually ended their respective movement restrictions, the number of migrants on the move has increased significantly.

Just before the outbreak of Covid-19, Frontex, the EU’s border agency, said that illegal border crossing had increased by 27 percent year-on-year.

The dark history of the radical Left’s enforcement arm.

With riots and civil unrest metastasizing across the United States, the president declared he intends to designate Antifa as a terrorist group. Predictably, the talking heads rushed out to declarethat Antifa doesn’t really exist, and even if it did the president couldn’t possibly target it using that legal designation. They argueAntifa is an amorphous blob of discontents, not a functioning organization, and certainly not one which could be designated and targeted for concentrated counterterrorism enforcement.

As usual, the Twitterati don’t know what they are talking about. Reality is both simpler and more complex.

To begin at the beginning: Antifa—real name: Antifaschisitsche Aktion—was born during the street-fights of the 1932 Weimar Republic. It was founded by the Stalinist Communist Party of Germany (KPD), although various Communist “anti-fascist defense” units were associated with the KPD much earlier.

Anti-fascist Action’s sole purpose was to help the KPD combat other political parties for control of the streets in the revolutionary politics of the rapidly failing Weimar Republic.

And yes, they fought the Nazis.

But they also fought liberal parties, conservative parties, and anyone and everyone who got in their way. While these early antecedents were short-lived, it is useful to view Antifa in this context. More than anything, Antifa exists to serve as a tool of revolutionary politics in a failed (or failing) state.

Antifa would reestablish itself in the early 1980s, also in Germany, out of Autonomism. Autonomism is an anti-authoritarian anarcho-Marxist ideology associated with the Communist urban guerilla organizations of 1970s and ’80s Europe like Red Army Faction and the Red Brigade. Autonomism would find a home among the young punks of Germany’s squatters’ rights movement. Around this time, Antifa tactics like the “black block,” where large numbers of rioters dress in black and move together in formation as part of a larger protest, were developed.

Coming to America

Antifa would form in a similar fashion in the United States, but under a different name.

According to Antifa lore, an effort by young punks to expel neo-Nazis and white supremacists from the music scene led to the formation of Anti-Racist Action (ARA), beginning in the Midwest and then spreading outward. As chapters formed in various cities, regional councils and networks were formed, such as the Midwest Anti-Fascist Network (MAFN) in 1995.

But present at the birth of ARA were members of America’s long-time revolutionary clique, with roots going all the way back to the domestic terror group Weather Underground. Consulting the young anti-racist punks in the formation of ARA were members of the John Brown Anti-Klan Committee (JBAKC). Several separate ARAs would go on to form one of the largest Antifa networks in the country, Torch Antifa, whose website was registered by a former JBAKC member.

JBAKC was formed as a front for the May 19th Communist Organization (MCO), itself founded out of the remnants of the Weather Underground, Black Liberation Army, the FALN and other terrorist groups of the ’60s and ’70s. (May 19 was chosen since it was the birthday of both Malcolm X and Ho Chi Minh.)

Following a split in the Weather Underground leadership over whether to emphasize class or racial struggle, the MCO emphasized working for “black liberation.” Members of the MCO were responsible for several bombings and robberies in the 1980s, including the infamous 1981 Brinks Armored Car Robbery.

JBAKC used its newsletter “Death to the Klan!” to highlight street fighting with Klansmen, accuse Reagan officials of white supremacy, endorse MCO bank robberies as “expropriation,” and promote communist insurgencies taking place in Nicaragua and El Salvador. It is important, again, to keep in mind that this was all done under the guise of “fighting white supremacy.”

The logic of JBAKC and the May 19th Communist Organization, and the same ideology which drives Antifa today, was that at its core the United States was founded on white supremacy, and therefore needs to be destroyed. Their “Cops and Klan Go Hand in Hand” slogan suggests there is no distinction between neo-Nazis and America’s institutions.

Antifa Today

Of course, in the age of the 1619 Project, such positions are no longer held just by members of underground Communist terror organizations. They are de rigueur in newsrooms, faculty lounges, and among the staff of mayors’ and attorneys general’s offices.

The modern Antifa movement advances the robust legacy infrastructure of the revolutionary Left through a belief in the efficacy of loose organization. The basic building block of direct-action organizing is the “affinity group,” which is exactly what it sounds like: a group of like-minded people who share a common objective. Pro-Antifa website CrimethInc notes:

This leaderless format has proven effective for guerrilla activities of all kinds, as well as what the RAND Corporation calls “swarming” tactics in which many unpredictable autonomous groups overwhelm a centralized adversary. You should go to every demonstration in an affinity group, with a shared sense of your goals and capabilities. If you are in an affinity group that has experience taking action together, you will be much better prepared to deal with emergencies and make the most of unexpected opportunities.

Multiple affinity groups can organize into what are described as “clusters” of affinity groups. Members of individual affinity groups may be members of other radical Left organizations and call upon them for assistance. Antifa members are likely to have ties to political organizations with Antifa support committees such as the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), The International Workers of the World (Wobblies), the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP), or any number of other local and regional radical Left organizations or collectives. Antifa draws resources and recruits from them all.

Where necessary, multiple clusters planning large actions may utilize “spokes-councils” to coordinate. Each affinity group or cluster may send spokespersons to negotiate on the general goals of the action. These methods are no less organized for being non-hierarchical and help Antifa avoid police and law enforcement investigations, as well as preserve the above-ground support structures from facing criminal consequences for the acts they enable.

Antifa is in many ways an improved iteration of prior militant leftist guerilla organizations. While the Weather Underground wrote high-profile manifestos and their members became household names, they were also forced into hiding by aggressive, but largely traditional, law enforcement methods. In part, they failed because they misjudged how ready society was for their message, banked everything on militant action, and gave up mass organizing. Antifa, with its anarchist outer structure and plausible deniability, allows the radical Left to have their cake and eat it too.

And now, with the successful promulgation of the radical message of America as bastion of white supremacy by presidential candidates, cable news anchors, and generations of tenured professors, Antifa is unlikely to lack for recruits and support—rhetorical or otherwise—any time in the near future.

In all turbulent periods of revolutionary politics, whether the 1930s, 1970s, or today, the ability to project force on the streets to punish enemies is a valuable asset. For the Left today, Antifa is that force.

In Styria, a Syrian father threatened his daughter (19 years old) because she refused to marry a stranger.

There are about 200 forced marriages at least every year in Austria. In the meantime, 15-year-old or even 13-year-old girls are also affected – and some of them are already living in Austria in the second or third generation. Now a 49-year-old Syrian asylum seeker from Aleppo has to stand trial. He had tried to marry his 19-year-old daughter. “Someone has proposed to you”, he is said to have told his daughter. But the daughter did not want the marriage, which the father presumably wanted to arrange for bridal wealth.Thereupon the father is said to have threatened his daughter: “If you do not agree to this, I will kill you. No one will ever find out about this. I’ll dismember you and throw you in the trash.” The daughter finally didn’t know what else to do and went to the police. The public prosecutor’s office in Graz has now charged the Syrian with attempted severe coercion. He faces up to five years in prison. The young woman now lives in a secret place without contact to her family.

It was a case that triggered off nationwide great horror: The 16-year-old Manuela K. had presumably been brutally murdered by her Syrian ex-boyfriend Yazan A. He now wants to legally defend himself against the maximum sentence imposed…

In the aftermath, increasingly gruesome details had become known: For Yazan A. (20 years old) is said to have strangled Manuela out of jealousy not only with a belt. He is also said to have raped her body before burying it in a heap of leaves in Wodica Park in Wiener Neustadt. The indictment at the time implied that he had vaginal intercourse with the dead woman and ejaculated on her corpse – the magazine Wochenblick reported on the disgusting details of the case in autumn.Hours after the crime, the police arrested the fugitive Syrian in Vienna, and the first trial followed in October.The suspect denied the killing at first, speaking of an accident in which the girl fell unhappily onto the park bench. Yazan A. did not say why he himself would not have called for help in such a case. Those who hoped for a repentant confession were disappointed. The court considered his guilt as proven, after hours of deliberation the jury’s verdict followed: 15 years imprisonment with the subsequent committal to an institution for mentally abnormal lawbreakers. At the beginning of the trial, the expert witness had certified a “personality development disorder with emotionally unstable, narcissistic and dissocial components”.His lawyer Andreas Reichenbach, however, lodged an immediate appeal against this ruling, and the second hearing will take place on the 26th of June before the Higher Regional Court (OLG) of Vienna. The legal counsel primarily argues that his client was allegedly blameless before the cruel act. Therefore, the “maximum penalty was disproportionate”.At that time the crime led to a broad condolence, about 500 people came to a funeral service despite the icy temperatures. The curious thing about it is that because political right wingers also mobilized to the commemoration, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution also attended the event. Despite its integrity – which applies to convictions of less than half a year or a penalty of 180 daily fine rate – Yazan A. was known to the police even before the crime. According to media reports, Yazan A. was already known to the authorities, and a procedure to withdraw his asylum status was pending.Already in 2017 and 2018, according to the newspaper Krone, a court sentenced him to fines for assault.
