We have been translating articles from Spanish concerning the July 30 mass migrant invasion of the Spanish enclave of Ceuta on the North African coast which occurred on July 30. Investigation by Spanish authorities reveals that Moroccan police and military officers were massively involved in herding the migrants into Ceuta including those who swam, and in many cases drowned.

Now 4 Moroccan witnesses, migrants who participated in the crossing and are cooperating with Spanish authorities, have testified before a Spanish judge. They are corroborating the fact that Moroccan officials directed the crossings, in some cases herding people into the sea, even ignoring people drowning in front of them.

The below article from El Español is translated by Fousesquawk.

"They were pushing us toward Ceuta '! Get in there now!'"

"There were many deaths, and the auxiliary forces of Morocco didn't do anything, they let the people pass," one of them declared to CENIF

More information: The police identify two high-ranking Moroccan police officials on the day of the assault, one of them "giving directions" to the migrants.

Four of the approximately 100,000 Moroccans who gained access to Ceuta from Castillejo (Morocco) at the end of last July yesterday identified more than a dozen high-ranking police officials before the judge of the National Court, Maria Tardon, who allowed this massive entry, and, in some cases, gave instructions to the immigrants and even "pushed " some of them toward the water, some of them said. 

Those identifications are in addition to those already made of the prefect of police of the Tetuan region, Mohamed El Oalidi, and the supervisor general of M'diq-Fnideq (Rincon-Castillejos), Abdel Fattah El Sayed  El Radi.

Both commanders, who are in charge of the direction and supervision of the actions of the members of DGSN- General Directorate of National Security- and of the Moroccan Auxiliary Forces in the region, were in Castillejos on the days of July 30-31.

Yesterday, the magistrate took statements from 4 new witnesses to whom she applied a statute of protection. Previously, they had appeared before investigators of the National Center of Immigration and the Borders (CENIF).

Their statements confirm the conclusions of the CENIF report. It stated that there was an "active guidance of the mass toward the places of passage on the part of these forces and agencies of Moroccan security". 

One of the protected witnesses stated to CENIF that at 10 in the morning of July 30, a friend of his made a video call from Ceuta telling him that he had succeeded in entering.

"I got my mother and my brother, and we left for Castillejos," he related.

They headed for the border and he saw, "police and soldiers," some in uniform. others in plain clothes.

"One of those in uniform, who seemed to be of higher rank, with a uniform I had never seen before, gave an order to the rest of the soldiers, who quickly came down and began to push the people into the water."

In response to follow up questions from the CENIF investigators, the witness stated that, "he was sure they received orders because he could hear them on their radios and because from then on, they were told, 'get in the water or leave from here.'".

In a file he was shown, this young man recognized one of the authorities who was "pushing the people forward". 

"Get in! Get in!', he was shouting. I looked right in his face because he pushed my mother and almost threw her to the ground."

"My mother, my brother and I bowed our heads and we continued on," he added.

He was not the only police commander this witness identified. He also recognized another authority, "who was on the side of the fence and was directing the people as I passed by there."

This Moroccan officer, "was standing, directing the people, making gestures with his hands and shouting, 'Forward' and 'move, move".

At his side were two other men, one with a backpack, "who was also telling the people to advance".

"He was shouting that he didn't want to see anyone in the sand, that they should either go in the water or go back," he stated.  

Caption: "Just in front, people were drowning," declared a witness.

"Just in front of them," the witness recalled , "there were people drowning and both he (the identified officer) and the other two just stood standing there ignoring them, on the contrary shouting things like,  'Come on, take advantage now!"'

In another file, the same witness recognized the "chief of the anti-riot (police)" of Tetuan. CENIF has identified him as the commander of the Mobile Law Enforcement Groups.

According to the statement: "They had set up a check point for the people heading toward the border."

At this point, they were regulating the flow of people and, "were controlling at all times the number of people who were going to the border," with Ceuta.

"Between the two traffic circles, the one at the Hotel Senator, and the last one before the Customs, the agents had a fence set up, and this man was the head of all of them. When they wanted, they would open the fence and gave the order for the people to pass. When 400 people had passed, they gave the order to close it and the people stopped," he described. 

"Many dead"

Another of the witnesses to the entry of Ceuta confirmed that on July 30, on the Moroccan coast near Ceuta, he saw, "many dead in a row" and "several officers of the Auxiliary Forces who did nothing".

"They allowed the people to pass and only covered up the corpses when the people took them out of the sea," he claimed.

This man added that he saw, "at least three guys of Moroccan appearance" dressed in street clothes, who offered floatation devices to the people for 10-20 dirhams.

They were black, tire-shaped flotation devices with white or grey print.

According to his testimony, these persons, also in exchange for money, went into the sea to accompany the immigrants to the Ceuta coast and then returned to the Moroccan zone. "This would occur in collusion with the Auxiliary Forces, with whom they would share the money."

The Muslim Brotherhood in Italy (5)

This is the latest in our series of translations of articles from Europe on the Muslim Brotherhood in various European countries and the 5th such article out of Italy. It is an op-ed by Alessandro Bertoldi in Il Tempo and it is a call to ban the Muslim Brotherhood in Italy. 

In my view, this should apply not only in Italy, but in every other country in Europe, and the rest of the world, including the US. Make no mistake, the MB, from which has sprouted ISIS, Hamas, and Al Qaeda, among others, has its tentacles in the US as represented by organizations like the Congress of American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), Muslim American Society (MAS), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) and many others. 

Muslim Brotherhood: Why it is time to ban them also now in Italy

The threats of political Islam are now increasingly more concrete. It is the moment to intervene before it is too late

-By Alessandro Bertoldi

November 11, 2026  at 07:28

Il Tempo, through its pens, has been the only newspaper that speaks daily, for several months now, of the threat of political Islam, represented by the Muslim Brotherhood. That is the ideological movement that aims to impose a political-religious vision which is above every other law, regardless of our rules and customs. Individual freedom and democracy are not concepts and values contemplated by this totalitarian vision. Free will belongs to the moral culture of the West, rooted in Christianity.

We have explained how to recognize a political-religious organization capable of moving funds, directing the media and politics, organizing the streets, and making propaganda. We have focused on this last point to make everyone better understand that the threat is represented not only by the organizations composed of sometimes unrecognizable and well-camouflaged ramifications in the most disparate sectors of our society, but by yet more subtle and often more fruitful propaganda.

This is a cancer that begins localized in an organ and risks spreading potentially to the point of metastasizing throughout the body. So, how do we try to stop the spread of the tumor? It isn't easy, but as with chemo, we have to try.

It is not easy for an aspiring libertarian like me to ask the State to outlaw someone, but if that someone has the aim of subverting our order to limit or eliminate our individual liberty, among which is (our) security, we must do so. We have to go against our very nature to save our civilization, as has rarely happened in our history because the danger of that propaganda, which leads to the formation of groups and individuals inspired by that ideology materializes into Islamist terrorism and leads to violence.

That ideology especially inspires the so-called lone wolves to go into action, sometimes people with problems, who seek an outlet or a sort of vendetta against our society through homicide or attacks, for which they prepared themselves online or through small groups. It is a dynamic that in the long run (but not too long) can lead even to civil war. If political Islam finds fertile ground and native allies, as is happening with the friends of the radical left, it can sow chaos and a lasting instability.

The street demonstrations, the damage, the violence against law enforcement, the hate against the Jews, the attacks, and finally, the cyber attacks are only a preview of what could happen. Their foreign allies are naturally our enemies: Iran, North Korea, and perhaps, Russia and China, who, seizing the opportunity of our chaos, can insert themselves to fuel it, create further disruption, and weaken us.

The ideology is both the fulcrum and the means, as alibis, the pro-Pal(estinian cause) and the high cost of living (in Italy) have been useful to spark the protests. The objectives are quite different: the structural, political, economical, and social rift and the weakening of the West.  For some, the question is also religious.

The absence of a unified and compact Western bloc, of which Donald Trump and the leadership of the European Union are the principal leaders makes the missions of our enemies particularly easy.

Imagine the French post-election scenario in case of a Marine Le Pen victory, or even before, the escalation of the Gulf hostilities with an all-out war. The Iranians would have no alternative but to attack us at home with every means, and the first would be cyber. Their allies in (Italy) are the followers and fans of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Or conversely, let's imagine street protests more violent than ever: In this case, Iran could not but seize the occasion of a cyber war as an aid for our internal enemies and their allies.

Since its birth, the Brotherhood has thought carefully how to put us in difficulty, how to proselytize, even without having to have affiliates, and how to find allies taking advantage of our weaknesses and, finally, how to use our own democratic system against us.

The cry of Il Tempo is a heartful appeal to intervene before it is too late, to trigger a war without borders against evil, terror, and those who want to destroy us.

Let's ban the Muslim Brotherhood and everything that resembles it before it is too late. It won't be (the total solution) but it's a start.

The Jewish Boycott in Philadelphia: Shades of 1933/1938

 

Philadelphia on Sunday

-Fox News

I have one question for the folks who organized a bike boycott of Jewish businesses in Philadelphia on Sunday, which just happened to coincide with the eve of Kristallnacht in Germany, when the (original) Nazis went on a frenzy of attacking Jewish shops and synagogues across the country on the night of November 9-10, 1938.

If the stated reason for this boycott is that you are so upset about the situation in Gaza, why don't you take your protest to an Israeli consulate or other government entity? Why do you have to target Jews and their businesses?

The obvious answer is because these people despise Jews to begin with. They don't want to put a Jew out of business because they oppose Israel. They want to put a Jew out of business because they hate Jews.

I don't think it's a coincidence that what predictably turned out to be an ugly spectacle occurred on the eve of Kristallnacht. I am guessing that they wanted it to happen on a Sunday. Maybe they figured the businesses would be closed on Monday the 9th. As things turned out, the police managed to keep a volatile situation from really getting out of hand. Three arrests and two police reportedly slightly injured. Compared to what we have been seeing in places like Paris, that's not too bad.

Nor do I think they gave any consideration to how eerily similar it is to the April 1933 Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses all across Germany. Only this time instead of uniformed SA troops standing in front of Jewish shops and intimidating would-be customers, Philadelphia police were there to protect the customers and the businesses because the city and its leaders stood up and did the right thing, condemning this hateful, anti-Semitic action by people pretending to care about other people in Gaza. Other Philadelphians came out with Israeli flags to counter-protest and lined up to patronize the shops in question. There was disorder to be sure, but the Storm Troopers and their Palestinian flags did not rule the day in Philadelphia. That was the part that was not ugly. That was the part that the city can take some pride in even if it suffered a black eye from the actions of the boycotters.

What does it take, how many times do we have to see unruly mobs from Europe to the US, taking over city streets with their dopey checkered keffiyas and their Palestinian flags, fighting police, assaulting Jews, breaking and destroying things before people wake up and realize who the bad guys are here? The whole world should have realized it once and for all on October 7, 2023, when the monsters of Hamas literally invented new ways to horrify decent-thinking people everywhere. Unfortunately, that has not been the case. Give the Devil his due. The pro-Pal movement has an enormously successful propaganda machine, well-stocked with thousands of willing Western dupes in our media and our universities, all-too-ready to indoctrinate our young, impressionable and gullible youth into believing that Israel is the Bad Guy here and the Palestinians, even Hamas, are the innocent and noble victims. Take these fools in Philadelphia, for example. Then again, if they sincerely believed it, they should take their protest to the Israeli embassy or the closest consulate, not Jewish businesses. That tells me they are acting out of hate.

Germany: Vandals Hang Palestinian Flag in Front of Reichstag

-Heute

This morning, a 22-year-old man climbed the flagpole in front of the Reichstag building in Berlin, threw down the German flag to the ground and raised the Palestinian flag in its place. On the ground, two of his accomplices filmed his action. They were detained and firemen restored the German flag to its rightful place and the Palestinian flag to its rightful place, which hopefully was in the nearest garbage can. Apparently, the two accomplices were released, but the pole climber has been turned over to State Security on charges of mopery and defaming the State and its symbols.

The Austrian news outlet, Heute is reporting that German police are stating only that the three little rascals are Germans "without a recognizable migration background", whatever that means.

The below article from the Munich daily, Sueddeutsche Zeitung, is translated by Fousesquawk. 

Palestinian flag hung in front of Reichstag- Klöckner demands more protection

November 8, 2026

A 22-year-old switched the German flag for a Palestinian flag. Bundestag President Klöckner reacted by demanding more protection for the Bundestag. Thus far, hardly any money from the special fund has been drawn for schools and day care centers.

A man hung the Palestinian flag in front of the Reichstag- Klöckner demands more protection

A man replaced the German flag with the Palestinian flag in front of the Reichstag building. The 22-year-old climbed the flagpole on Sunday morning and threw the German flag to the ground. The Palestinian flag briefly flew until the fire brigade removed it at noon.

According to a police report, the man climbed the pole with a climbing harness and remained at the top for about an hour. Two men, ages 20 and 32 supported him from the ground and filmed the action. The group, "Peacefully against genocide" took responsibility for the action in the morning.  It is about, "civil society solidarity with the people in Palestine," according to an internet statement.

All three men were temporarily in police custody. The two accomplices on the ground were sent off and have already been released, according to police. The climber is reportedly being turned over to State Security. State Security is now investigating, among other things, suspicion of defamation of the State and its symbols. The flag on the Platz der Republik was raised on the night on October 2-3, 1990, to celebrate the reunification.

In response to the incident, Bundestag President Julia Klöckner demanded more protection for the Bundestag. She cannot accept, "that such a thing is possible in the German Parliament," Klöckner told Bild-Zeitung. It must be ensured that Parliament, "does not degenerate into a backdrop of activism of any kind." For the protection of Parliament, the direct surroundings of the Reichstag building are also relevant: "In this, the State of Berlin is also in question." Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) calls it, "an act of absolute lack of respect". It is clear, "that this is a planned action by leftist troublemakers." 

The Muslim Brotherhood in Italy (4)

This is the latest in our series in the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe and the 4th in Italy. It comes in the form of an interview by the Italian daily, Il Tempo, with Giovanno Giocalone, an Italian expert on Islamism and terrorism and a researcher at the Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF). The interview comes in the wake of last week's US midterm elections that resulted in a Democratic landslide featuring the election of the first Muslim senator in US history, Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI), which many consider a victory for Islamism in the US since El-Sayed is considered by those same observers as an ally of the Muslim Brotherhood. 

In this interview, Giacalone sees the election of El-Sayed as a warning sign from the US to Italy given the current trends in Italy. The way I see it, the trends in both countries are the same. In both nations, we see associations with figures tied to the Brotherhood establishing themselves as representing Muslim communities and gradually working their way into acceptance into the political systems, while establishing links principally with the far-left.

Interview

Giovanni Giacalone: "Islamism is running from the USA to Italy. But there is still time to stop it"

-By Alessio Buzzelli

November 7, 2026 at 15:07

"The United States is showing us in advance the dangerous consequences of the welding of political Islam and the left. Italy, from my point of view still has time to reverse the tide: but it needs to have the capacity and the political will to be able to do it. The first exists. The second, we will see." From the USA to Italy, the consequences of the access of political Islam to the West explained by Giovanni Giacalone, analyst and expert in Islamic extremism and terrorism and member of the IDSF Institute.

-Doctor Giacalone, for many observers of the election of Abdul El-Sayed in the US midterms, the first Muslim senator in history is emblematic of the union between one part of political Islam and the Western left. Is that true?

- "Yes, of course: It is a classic example and also a huge alarm bell of the red-green alliance that is gaining a foothold within Western politics. It is evident if, on the one hand, the left, in a crisis of consensus, aims for the vote of the Muslims, on the other hand, the Islamists, or that entire area tied ideologically to the Muslim Brotherhood, is taking advantage of this opening to the left to insert itself into the electoral mechanism."

-What are these objectives?

-"The principal objective clearly is that of inserting itself and taking control of the establishment, of the decision making, of the political, institutional, and governmental  apparatus, in order to then influence both internal and external policy. Obviously, in anti-Western (ways) and in favor of Islamist regimes and certain organizations tied to them." 

-And in what ways are these aims pursued?

"For better or worse, the modus operandi is always the same and has been since the birth of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt: Infiltrate themselves, first from the bottom and then rise. It involves initial penetrations in local institutions and on the periphery. That means that the Islamists try and succeed, alas, in building privileged relations with the various administrations and various politicians in the local sphere, presenting themselves as official points of contact of the Islamic communities. Then they use a series of umbrella associations and organizations. This (system of) association brings together more dimensions: They can be cultural associations, which are often really and truly mosques, but also religious schools, female associations, and even sports (associations). And through these umbrella organizations, they make networks, they make a certain type of lobbying both to influence both the Islamic communities, attempting a hegemony, and constructing relations with local politicians. Then gradually move up to the next level until they arrive at the government (level), that which we have seen happen in the United States. 

-Let's talk about Italy.  Here, we have no El-Sayed yet, but there have been more than a few warnings, especially with the recent marches and the affair involving Youssef Siher.

- "I came up with this idea: I believe that there is a network that has been active for some time. But there is also a problem that revolves around the Brotherhood. I am not talking only about the people that are close to Sehir, but I am talking more in general about the entire Islamist, pro-Brotherhood network in Italy. For too long, this has been considered a point of contact, institutional even, with the pretext that it was yes, an extremist organization, but not a terrorist one.  To say such a thing means to understand nothing about how extremism or terrorism function."  

-Could it have been predicted and prevented?

-"For too long we have focused on jihadism, ignoring the problem linked to this Islamist network, which in the meantime, has been infiltrating on multiple levels, also in the streets. Then with post October 7, everything became clear, becoming more evident. But it's not that it didn't exist before: It did and it was known.  But what, perhaps, needed to be done, was not done."

-Do you mean to say that on the part of the Italian managerial class, there has been an underestimation of the phenomenon?

- "From my point of view, I would say yes because notwithstanding the critical situation, I do not see energetic responses. Surely, taking into consideration all the difficulties there may be, but I believe that it is necessary to throw on the brakes and begin to do what needs to be done, both at the level of funding controls, and at the level of cultural and ideological conflict. Because the Islamism professed by these groups is incompatible with a whole series of European and Italian principles. The resolution recently approved in the European Parliament on the Muslim Brotherhood is a first step. And even if it is not equivalent to an automatic ban, it is a good start."

-The values of the left and those of Islam are in many ways opposed. Won't this knot come to a head sooner or later?

"But it's obvious. Sooner or later, they will clash, and in my opinion, it is the left that will get hurt. And we are seeing it in the USA, which is offering us in advance the overview of what we are risking happening here in the near future. Italy, from my point of view still has time to reverse course, but it needs the capacity and the political will to be able to do it. The first exists. As to the second, we will see."

Germany: Who Were the Rioters in Frankfurt?

Frankfurt

-NBC

Frankfurt, along with cities in France and Italy, has been hit with riots in the past days and weeks. Protests and marches that begin peacefully are taken over as night falls by people who have other agendas than protesting high prices and poor school conditions. They are more determined to bring about the downfall of Western civilization. These are made up of anarchists, Antifa types, and Islamist migrants, in addition to 2nd-3rd generation, disaffected Muslim youth.

The below article in Welt discusses a study by another German outlet, Focus, which reports that a striking number of the Frankfurt rioters either do not possess a German passport (meaning they are not German citizens) or if they do, still possess dual nationality. The article also brings out an interesting dilemma: The police do not report crime statistics that categorize a German suspect's foreign/immigration background (i.e. 2-3-4th generation). That seems proper and in keeping with how we would handle it in our country. At the same time, the public at large does need to have an accurate picture of what is going on.  Hopefully, the Germans can find a proper balance.

The below article in Welt is translated by Fousesquawk. 

339 Police officers injured -Half of the suspects in Frankfurt riots without German passports

According to a report, 330 arrests and detentions have been made in connection with the most recent riots nationwide, and 218 criminal proceedings have been initiated. In Frankfurt alone, 17 shops were damaged. The origin of the suspects is striking.

In the most recent riots on the margins of the nationwide protests according to research by the magazine, Focus, at least 339 police officers have been injured, most slightly. There have been about 330 arrests and detentions, as the paper reported. To date, 218 criminal proceedings have been initiated.

Particularly in Frankfurt, am Main, on October 31, after what were initially overwhelmingly peaceful "Gen Z" protests, massive riots broke out. According to the authorities, in the Frankfurt inner city, around the Zeil shopping area, 17 shops were damaged and 5 of them were looted. Riots also occurred in other cities like Cologne and Hamburg.

According to Focus, what is striking is the high number of suspects without a German passport in Frankfurt, the highest number of crimes in the night of rioting: About half of them possess no German passport. Furthermore, the other half of the suspects with German passports also possess a foreign citizenship.

Police union demands more transparency regarding origin of suspects

Against this backdrop, the German Police Union (DPolG) is demanding more transparency as to the origin of the suspects. The police possess the necessary information, for example, as to the place of birth or the possible dual citizenship, said Manuel Ostermann, deputy federal chairman of the DPolG to Focus. He assumes "that transparency of numbers can also remedy the increased polarization in society because the speculation ceases".

Ostermann thus, stood with Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt. The CSU politician had blamed extreme leftists and "migrant troublemakers" as being responsible for the violence. 

In fact, the police do not officially differentiate between people with or without a migration background. Criminal statistics only include if a suspect possesses German citizenship or not. The nationality of a foreign citizen is also registered -but not, whether a German citizen has foreign origins. 

Ruud Koopmans, Professor of Sociology and Migration Research at Humboldt University in Berlin, joins the demand for more transparency. In Focus, he calls it "sensible" for police to mention the origin in press statements-especially when the acts, "can have a cultural background, as with homophobic violence, anti-Semitism, but also when the type of group of group affiliation is relevant". And it is obvious that applies when crimes are committed by groups.

According to the Police Union (GdP), a categorization of migration background would have legal difficulties, however. Currently, nobody can say how high the number is of people with a migration background among the perpetrators, said Benjamin Jendro, spokesman for the GdP in Berlin.  Whether a German has foreign roots can currently only be recorded in a few certain crimes. If policymakers want reliable data, they need appropriate guidelines to collect it, Jendro said.  

Germany: Gruesome Murder in Hamburg

Hamburg-Lochstedt/Lokstedt

On Tuesday, in Hamburg, a 27-year-old Gambian man walked into a police station to report an "assault". As he was leading officers back to a nearby apartment building where the "assault" had taken place, he reportedly advised officers, that it was actually a fatality. Indeed, it was. When they arrived at the apartment of a 70-year-iold woman, they found the woman dead. She was the victim of what is described as an extremely violent attack, with massive cuts to her neck. According to some news reports, she was nearly or totally decapitated, and to what extent, it still not clear. At any rate, the Gambian man is now in custody charged with the murder. The motive is unknown, and there are indications the man may be mentally ill in some manner.

There are two accounts below, both translated by Fousesquawk. First is a report from the Hamburger Morgenpost, and the second is from the conservative German news outlet, Junge Freiheit. Note that there are two alternate spellings for the neighborhood of Hamburg where the murder took place. The Hamburger Morgenpost, for some reason, uses both Lochstedt and Lokstedt, while Junge Freiheit uses only Lochstedt. It appears that Lokstedt is the more commonly used version, but given the fact that Junge Freiheit uses only Lochstedt, I have chosen to use only Lochstedt in the Hamburger Morgenpost translation.

First is the article from the Hamburger Morgenpost.         

Woman dies after extreme violent crime: Perpetrator (27) and victim (70) knew each other

By Michael Reis, Zoe Clausen, Marius Roer, and Emilia Skibbe

In Hamburg-Lochstedt, a dead woman was found after a 27-year-old showed up at a police station. According to Hamburger Morgenpost's information, the body showed signs of extreme violence.

In the wake of the death of a 70-year-old woman in Hamburg-Lochstech, there are new findings. The 27-year-old suspect and the victim were reportedly acquainted. In addition, there are indications of psychological illness in the man. 

On Tuesday afternoon, around 3:30, a 27-year-old man appeared at the police station 23 on Troplowitzstrasse to report an assault. On the way to the nearby Grandweg, he suddenly told the police team about a dead person in the apartment.

Police find a woman on the second floor

In the apartment on the second floor of the 7-story apartment building on Grandweg, the officers found the body of a 70-year. The woman had fatal injuries, which suggested extreme violence. She reportedly had massive cuts to her throat. The man, of Gambian nationality, was provisionally arrested on suspicion of homicide.

The homicide squad and the capital crimes section of the State Prosecutor's Office are taking over the investigation. According to the latest findings, the suspect and the woman knew each other. Indications of a psychological illness on the part of the man will be checked, as the police reported to the Morgenpost.

The 27-year-old will reportedly be brought before a judge today. The investigations into the background and the exact sequence of events of the crime are ongoing.

Secondly is the article from Junge Freiheit

Woman murdered in Hamburg: Gambian suspect reportedly has a "psychological illness"

Germany- November 5, 2026

A Gambian allegedly murdered a 70-year-old woman in Hamburg. The police are investigating at high speed, but in the end, the suspect may get off lightly. According to Junge Freiheit's investigation, there are indications of a psychological illness.

Hamburg: The 27-year-old Gambian, who allegedly murdered a 70-year-old woman in Hamburg-Lochstedt, according to indications from the State Criminal Police, has a "psychological illness", as Junge Freiheit learned through inquiry with the police. On Wednesday, a judge issued a custody order against the Gambian citizen on strong suspicion of manslaughter.

A decapitation of the woman, as was circulating in some media, was denied by a police spokesperson to Junge Freiheit. "Moreover, there is evidence that the victim and the suspect knew each other."  

Gambian suspect led investigators to the body of the woman

The police, citing the early stage of the "ongoing investigation", could not disclose the Gambian's immigration status, how he killed the woman, and what the motive was. "The joint investigation of the homicide squad and the capital offense section of the prosecutor's office is ongoing", the spokesperson stressed.

The Gambian alleged perpetrator initially visited police station 23 on Tuesday afternoon to report an assault. He then led the officers to a nearby multi-family house on Grandweg. There, the team found the body of a 70-year-old in an apartment.  At that point, the police took the Gambian into custody.

Wipeout!

If you are turning to this page for insight into why the Republicans suffered such a total defeat last night, you need to get a life. I am not your guy. You might as well go down to your corner bar and ask Jake the bartender. Sure, I have a lot of thoughts and opinions, but they are not worth any more than Jake's.

All I'm going to say is this:

Trump wanted Ken Paxton as his senatorial candidate over John Cornyn in Texas, and he got him. That debacle is on him.

I also think there is something called Trump Fatigue Syndrome going on in this country. He has done some great things as president and some not so great. His style is terrible and I think wearing on more people. The way the war with Iran has dragged on has hurt him and his party, to say nothing of the cost of fuel. But you know that.

Here is something I am not hearing yet from all the pundits in the wake of last night's big blue tsunami. I feel more strongly than ever that JD Vance cannot be the heir apparent to the Republican nomination in 2028. My preference is Marco Rubio. It may be that his being in the Trump cabinet will sink his chances too. If that's the case, I would look to Ron DeSantis.

My only hope is that the radical, socialist Democrats will alienate the voters so much in the next 2 years that the pendulum will swing back in 2028. But if this repeats itself in 2028, well, I guess there's always Margueritaville.

Yesterday in Nice, France, a 36-year-old woman, the mother of a pupil at a nursery school, went to the school armed with a knife and a firearm, with which she threatened the school principal and a teacher before fleeing. She was quickly arrested a short time later. It turns out she is a dual citizen of Tunisian-Italian nationality, who has a previous record for armed assault in France, has been flagged for "radicalization of a terrorist nature", has been previously removed from France, has returned, and has been again ordered to leave the country. Yet, she is still in France and is now under arrest for this latest offense. She was also granted asylum in Italy in 2022, presumably from Tunisia.

Attack in a school in Nice: Shock and incomprehension, mother of pupil under order to leave French territory already flagged for radicalization.

An attack of unusual violence occurred on Monday, November 2 at the Clement Roassal nursery school in Nice. The mother of a pupil threatened the director of the school with a firearm and struck her before turning on a teacher. Her background raises questions; she has been flagged for radicalization for some time and is also under an order to leave French territory. 

The entire Clement Roassal school is deeply shaken. A psychological support team has been put in place for the personnel of the school and for the children. As for the children, the school has assured the parents that no pupil was present at the scene.

On Monday, November 2, around 9 am, a 36-year-old woman, mother of 2 children enrolled in the school, showed up at the front desk to ask for "an urgent meeting with the director of the school". Once in her presence, she attacked her with a knife and a firearm, of which she pulled the trigger without it firing. On leaving her office, this mother also attacked a teacher, pointing her weapon in her direction before leaving the school.

The attacker, of dual Tunisian-Italian nationality, was quickly arrested at her residence, where the handgun used was not recovered. She stated she was a nurse's assistant and was already convicted twice, specifically for armed violence in 2019.

In illegal status

According to a judicial source, the suspect, who had already been the object of a report in 2019, had been flagged in FSPRT, the file for monitoring reports of "radicalization of a terrorist nature", then was removed. She had already been expelled from French territory under an order to leave French territory (OQTF) before returning in 2023. She is the object of a new measure of removal which is difficult to apply by reason of her responsibility for her 4 children.

Interior Minister Laurent  Nuñez,told Agence France Presse that she "checked in to the police station regularly" and confirmed that this person was, in fact, in illegal status since being reported in 2019 and had obtained asylum in Italy in 2022.

Informed by social media and with no response from the establishment

On Monday at 16:30, it is the end of classes at the nursery school. "Me, it's my mother; she saw it on social media. And there it was. That's how we found out. For now, we have no info other than the news, so we don't know what it's all about." Several parents learned about what happened at the school from their children, from social media, and when they tried to call the establishment, they had to wait for a response.

The parents received an email shortly before 4 pm, says a father of a pupil. Like all of the parents waiting here nervously at the exit, they are impatient and anxious to receive their children at the exit "to know what really happened."

Should they increase security at the nursery school?

"This is my daughter's class." " This is the teacher of her daughter who was attacked. ...The director is a sweetheart, and so is the teacher, why do this?" This woman is deeply upset. "This is unacceptable." She is part of a group of parents who are demanding the presence of an ASVP, a public way safety officer.  It is especially important, as this mother explains, because two ASVPS are at the entrance to the elementary school part of the establishment, but there is nobody in front of the entrance to the nursery school. She says: There was a little incident a few months ago, before the start of the school year; some children got into a fight in front of the gate, and the guard came. Unfortunately, however, we don't have one." The ASVP is a municipal officer, so the request has to go to the city mayor. 

On Tuesday morning, Eric Ciotti (Mayor of Nice) attended the return to classes and gave an initial response.

On Tuesday morning, Virginie Gorgone, deputy inspector of DASEN, (Academic Directors of National Education Service) in charge of elementary education in Alpes-Maritimes, visited the teaching personnel and educational community. "At the security level, the presence of the Mobile Academic Security Team is on hand to assure everyone and to allow the resumption of school life," Virginie Gorgone stated.

The Minister of National Education will visit the site

Edouard Geffray, Minister of National Education, will visit the Clement-Roassal nursery school "this weekend". The minister stated on the X platform on Tuesday that he also intends, "to personally offer them my support as well as to the staff at the school." 

The minister assures that protection and support will therefore be put into place. On Monday, a case was opened and assigned to the Judicial Police of Nice, specifically on charges of  "attempted murder of a person charged with a mission of public service".

All Eyes on Michigan

 This article first appeared in New English Review.

Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI)

Tomorrow’s mid-term elections in the US are arguably the most important in our history. With

both the Senate and the House of Representatives up for grabs, the elections will say much

about which direction the country wants to go, especially with so many radical Democratic

Socialists winning the Democratic primaries and threatening to take over the Democratic Party.

At this point, no race is garnering more attention than the Michigan Senatorial race where the

Democratic candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, is running neck-and-neck with Mike Rogers, the

Republican nominee. There could be no starker contrast between the two. Rogers, the Trump-

supported conservative, and El-Sayed, the radical leftist, a person considered by many to be a

radical Muslim, with at the least, moral support from the Muslim Brotherhood, his association

with the vicious anti-American, anti-Semite, Hasan Piker, and himself an anti-Semite to boot, all

opinions and concerns which I share.

Now comes Haley Stevens, whom El-Sayed narrowly defeated in the Democratic primary. At the

last moment, she has come out and endorsed Rogers for Senator, saying that she cannot

support the “anger” of El-Sayed.

Naturally, Stevens has incurred the wrath of her party, including that of soon-to-be former

party leader Charles Schumer. Last night, I watched a replay of CNN’s Anderson Cooper’s

interview with Stevens. Cooper tried very hard to press her on why she came out against El-

Sayed at this late date. Had she not just promised Representative Debbie Dingell (D-MI) that

she would not endorse Rogers? Was the reason really because she was piqued that El-Sayed

had disinvited her to a campaign event in Detroit? Stevens, who admittedly does not come

across impressively in public, danced around the questions and never gave a clear answer, even

as Anderson continued to press her, determined to break her.

My own reaction is that while I was never impressed on the surface watching Stevens during

the campaign (admittedly from a distance on TV), whether she is acting out of spite or whether

she really feels that El-Sayed is not fit to serve, she is doing the right thing and the courageous

thing. In her interview with Cooper, my inference was that she indirectly conceded that El-

Sayed is an anti-Semite, though she did not say it explicitly, and I don’t think she wanted to say

it explicitly. (Stevens is not Jewish herself, but her partner is Jewish, and he has publicly stated

that he is voting for Rogers.)

At any rate, this latest development puts Michigan voters squarely on the spot going into

tomorrow's election. Many Democrats had voted for Stevens in the primaries. Now she has

come out and said that she cannot support the Democratic candidate. In the face of this, are

they really going to pull the lever for Abdul El-Sayed? When it comes to American politics, I am

beyond making any predictions about anything. But shame on the state of Michigan if they

send Abdul El-Sayed to the US Senate.

Italy; Anti-Semitic Attack Near Rome Synagogue

I am assuming this is a case coming to trial in Rome. Today's Il Giornale is running a story on an unidentified, but well-known academic researcher in the field of Jewish history in Europe who was insulted with anti-Semitic verbiage by two men identified only as aged 36 and 46 years of age. The incident occurred on August 14 near a synagogue on via Padova in Rome. When the victim pulled out his cell phone to call 112 for help, the two men assaulted him physically and beat him about the face before fleeing. Video surveillance cameras enabled police to identify both of them. One is behind bars, and the other is under house arrest. 

The below article from Il Giornale is translated by Fousesquawk.  As the article points out, since the bestial attack by Hamas upon Israel on October 7, 2023, it has unleased a fury of anti-Israel demonstrations in the West.

How is that? What does that say about a segment of the people who are living among us?

First anti-Semitic insults and then the beatings, two precautionary measures in Rome

A 36-year-old and a 46-year-old verbally and physically assaulted an academic and expert researcher of the history of Jews in Europe near a synagogue in Rome

Ten minutes of violence, consummated a few steps from a synagogue and fueled by an obvious motive of racial hatred. Digos (Special Operations ) from the police hqs of Rome have taken two precautionary measures against two men, a 36-year-old and a 46-year-old, deemed responsible in connection with an attempted robbery aggravated by anti-Semitic hate. One of them is behind bars, and his accomplice is under house arrest. Unfortunately, it is not the first episode of this type that has been recorded in this country and in Rome. In fact, there seems to be an escalation of violence that is striking the Jews since October 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked Israel, setting off an anti-Israel fury in the West.  

It was the evening of August 14 when the victim, an academic and well-known expert researcher in the history of Jews in Europe, and, being occupied daily with the dissemination and publication of studies on these subjects, was near the synagogue situated on via Padova in Rome. According to what the investigators have reconstructed, the researcher was suddenly approached by the two attackers: First, the anti-Semitic insults, then immediately to the physical attack when the victim pulled out a cell phone in a desperate attempt to contact the 112 emergency number. The two men, who are charged, lunged at him to grab the device from his hand and prevent him from calling for help, hitting him repeatedly in the face before fleeing to the surrounding streets.

A decisive turning point in the investigation was the analysis of the recorded videos of the surveillance cameras in the area. The images crystalized the dynamics of the attack, documenting the escalation from the verbal insults to the physical attack along the stretch of road where the incident (occurred). A fundamental contribution came from the joint work of the investigators of the Porta Pia police station and the Carabinieri of Piazza (Square) Bologna, linking the details provided by the victim in the complaint with the witness testimonies collected; the police managed to isolate some unmistakable particulars captured by video, such as physiological facial features and visible tattoos on the bodies of the attackers.  This led to the closing of the circle and the identification with certainty of the two subjects, whose presence in the area had already been recorded by electronic recording devices in the moments immediately preceding the attack.

Germany: Car Attack Near Hanover: Rival "Clans" Blamed

Hat tip Journalisten Watch (de)

Neustadt am Rübenberge in happier times

Neustadt am Rübenberge Monday night 

Late Monday night in the town of Neustadt am Rübenberge, near Hanover, a BMW plowed into a group of people on the street, apparently twice, before driving off. Apparently, police fired at the car, and the driver was arrested shortly afterward. As of the latest reporting, 3 are in custody, and 5 are injured, some seriously.

Police and the media are being very cautious in reporting the identity of the suspect(s) and the motives, but it has been reported that the motive is believed to be a clash between two rival clans ('large families"). Both of these terms in German have connotations of criminal networks. 

The conservative German website, Journalisten Watch, has no such compunction and reports that it is no doubt a result of a conflict between two rival criminal clans of foreign extraction, probably Arab.

There is video of the actual incident and the arrest of the driver, and we hope to provide a copy with English subtitles soon. In the interim, the below article from Journalisten Watch is translated by Fousesquawk.

After BMW hit-and-run attack: Police protection (for) Arab clans

Caption: Attempt to arrest of one of the perpetrators Monday evening.

Late Monday evening, a BMW plowed repeatedly into a group of people near Hanover. Five people were injured, some seriously. There were shots fired. The perpetrator(s) fled on foot. The exact motive is still unclear, but the investigators believe that it involved a clash between criminal clans. It is yet another example of the unbridled brutality that has taken hold at all levels in Germany through mass migration.

And to top off the madness, both gangster clans have battled each other here and now under police protection at taxpayers' cost. Their homes are being guarded by police patrols. This was confirmed to Bild by a spokesperson, but due to investigative practical reasons, they declined to provide further details. One of the clan (members), however, stated that a patrol car was parked in front of his house. The residence of one of the members of the other large family clan is located about 800 meters away.

Incomprehensible distortion of all standards

In this country, conditions now rule in which dangerous, mostly Arab clans, be they in Berlin, the Ruhr region, Bremen or in Lower Saxony, in the middle of the street, sometimes in broad daylight, shoot or run each other down with cars, and the police protect them afterward.  Yet, the priority in any normal country would be to dismantle these gangs, to put as many of their members behind bars or, better yet, deport them as quickly as possible, as long as they haven't been handed out their German passports in the wake of this insane orgy of naturalization.

And where this is the case, and the original citizenship is maintained, the German (citizenship) must be taken away. However, instead of this, this country concerns itself with the safety of the gangster, not for the safety of the population, which every time has to deal with finding itself in the line of fire of these imported felons. This also shows yet again that in this country, sheer insanity and incomprehensible distortion of all standards reign.
