Columbia/Barnard Degenerate Into Chaos

Barnard College

Barnard College in New York City is an affiliate of Columbia University although they are considered separate campuses. Last month, two students from Barnard were expelled for their actions in taking over a class on Israeli history at Columbia. On Wednesday and Thursday of this week, the Barnard campus was taken over by protesters demanding that Barnard reinstate the two expelled students. As a result, two employees were assaulted and one required hospitalization. 

How this will play out in terms of disciplinary measures remains to be seen, but at first glance, it appears that Barnard has not shown any strength in dealing with the pro-Hamas thugs and thugettes. But when people are assaulted, it demands the strongest punishment. That means people need to be prosecuted and expelled. 

Below are three articles dealing with the latest disturbances. The first is from the Washington Free Beacon. The second is from the Barnard campus newspaper, the Barnard Bulletin. The third is from the Columbia Spectator. As you might guess, the two campus papers are loathe to criticize anything the pro-Palestinian thugs and thugettes do.

France: Knife-Wielding Man Shot by Police: ("Allahu Akhbar")

Hat tip Francoise De Souche

Today, in the wee hours of the morning, a French police patrol in the area of  Boulogne-sur-Mer (Pas de Calais) came across a man on the street carrying a knife. When they stopped to talk to him, he took off and then came at them with two knives in hand, according to police. He was also shouting, "Allahu Akhbar". The end result was that the man was shot in the thigh. He is not further identified except he is around 40 years of age and previously known to the police and courts.

Armed with knives, he reportedly threatened police to the cries of, "Allahu Akhbar". A 40-year-old man was wounded by a gunshot by police and then placed in custody at Saint-Martin-Boulogne (Pas de Calais) early Saturday morning.

According to our information, around 4 am, a man carrying a knife, was spotted by police on a street in Boulogne-sur-Mer. The Anti-Crime Brigade patrol (BAC) decided to check him out. It was there that the man took out another blade from his backpack and threatened the officers while shouting, "Allahu Akhbar".

Despite using a taser gun on the fanatic, and a (non-lethal) bullet launcher (LBD), the police could not overpower the individual. One of the members of the patrol then fired two times in the direction of the suspect's leg. The (suspect) is wounded but is not in life-threatening condition.  

Wounded in the thigh by a police officer

According to the prosecutor's account, the Anti-Crime Brigade officers were in a "sector impacted by burglaries" when they observed the man and talked to him from their vehicle. The man then took out two knives and threatened them with death. When the individual walked away with his knives, they followed him, and he then ran towards them asking them to shoot. A first officer used a taser gun two times then an LBD, without effect.

The man reportedly took off before coming after the officers a second time. Another officer then fired two times with his firearm, wounding him in the thigh. The police then discovered that the man "had covered his torso with cardboard boxes."

Already known to the courts, the man in his 40s was convicted four times between 2012-2023 by the Boulogne-sur-Mer Criminal Court for driving under the influence of drugs, drug use, death threats, and insulting a public official.

Mother of wounded man also hospitalized

The emergency personnel have confirmed that they responded around 04:15 "for a person wounded by a firearm," after an attempted attack against a National Police team," and transported a man to the Boulogne-sur-Mer hospital center in "absolute urgency", as well as the mother of the wounded man (65) "in shock" but not medically treated.

He was finally placed in custody under police surveillance at the hospital. Two investigations have been opened: One for attempted homicide of police and another assigned to the office of the National Police Inspectorate General in Lille (IGPN) in connection with the use of arms by police, the national prosecutor, Guirec Le Bras, indicated.

The Handover of 29 Mexican Narco-Traffickers to the US: From Mexican Press

Rafael Caro-Quintero in custody on US soil

 This week's handover of Rafael Caro-Quintero and 28 other Mexican kingpins to the US is making headlines in Mexico. The below article from yesterday's Excelsior is translated by Fousesquawk. Apparently, it was something other than a formal extradition as I had previously reported.

Sending 29 kingpins to US, due to risk of being freed or delaying extradition: Garcia Harfuch

Garcia Harfuch says that the rights of the 29 transferred persons were respected. FGR (National Prosecutor's Office) clarifies that it was not extradition.

The delivery of 29 narco-traffickers, among them, Rafael Caro-Quintero, and the brothers Miguel Angel and Omar Treviño Morales, founders of Los Zetas, to the United States, was because the risk existed that they would be freed by judges, or that the extradition process would be further delayed, said Secretary of Security, Omar Garcia Harfuch. 

"The risk existed that some of the targets sought by the government of the United States would be freed or continue to delay the processes of extradition due to agreements with judges who sought to favor them as had already been done on other occasions," said Garcia Harfuch in a press conference.

The head of the SSPC (Secretariat of Security and Civilian Protection) claimed that the 29 kingpins who were sent to the US as a result of a request by that country, committed "atrocious" crimes in Mexico and acts of "extreme violence" through the criminal organizations to which they belonged and represented a threat to national security in our country and the North American country (USA).

No violations of reprieves for the kingpins sent to US: FGR (Attorney General of the Republic)

The Attorney General of the Republic, Alejandro Gertz Manero, stated that there were no violations of reprieves or protections of the 29 kingpins who were sent to the US since it was not an extradition, rather it was a different process based on the Law of National Security, specifically Article 5, which established the conditions to carry it out. 

"Reprieves cannot be violated by a procedure that is unrelated to those reprieves," the prosecutor said when asked if the sending of the 29 narco-traffickers wouldn't bring a judicial crisis to the country.

Gertz Manero explained that the United States government had made a formal and (well) grounded request for the 29 narco-traffickers, so the National Security Council was convened, which after an analysis, determined that it had complied with the legal basis and proceeded to carry out the transfer.

"It was a specific written request, soon after it arrived the National Security Council convened, an analysis was made at that meeting, the legal basis was seen, and (the Council) proceeded. It was an immediate matter," he explained and said that it was not an accelerated process or had anything directly to do with the decision of the US government whether to suspend the tariffs.

Are the kingpins sent to the US facing the death penalty?

After the State Department made it public that at least 6 of the 29 narco-traffickers, including Rafael Caro-Quintero, could face the death penalty, the head of the  Attorney General's Office chose not to speculate since it is the judge who is responsible for determining the sentence.

"The penalties for trial sanctions are not established by the State Department, they are established by the judges, and we have a clear agreement that legislation, like that of Mexico, which does not have this sanction, must be respected where we have agreements of collaboration," he said.

Today's Train Wreck in the White House

 I just finished watching the entire (replay) of the Oval Office meeting between Ukrainian President Zelenskiyy. President Trump, and Vice President Vance. All sides can agree that it was a train wreck and made much worse by the fact that it played out in front of the media. It lasted 50 minutes and was going just fine until the 42-minute mark when Vance began berating the Ukrainian president over the question of American diplomacy over the years of Russian aggression against Ukraine. Vance was no doubt irked by Zelinskiyy's question to him about (American) diplomacy. From there everything went downhill. Trump jumped in and poured gasoline on the fire in his own inimitable manner. After it was over, Zelenskii and his delegation were essentially kicked out of the White House.

Now we have the spectacle of this mess being played out before the world. In Russia, Putin must be laughing his butt off.

The media is treating this as would be predicted. CNN is blaming Trump, and Fox is taking Trump's side. Fox's talking heads are saying that Zelenskiyy must apologize.

The US-Ukraine relationship in the face of Russian aggression is complicated, and certainly, Ukraine owes much to the US for its support. Whatever differences the two sides have, the discussion should have taken place behind closed doors and not in front of the press and the world. If Zelenskiyy made comments they disagreed with, they should have held their fire until the press was gone. You don't berate the leader of a friendly government in front of the press.

I blame Vance for overreacting to Zelinskiyy's remarks and escalating the exchange. I also blame Trump for escalating the situation instead of de-escalating it. Trump and Vance should not have berated Zelenskiyy publicly in this manner. Rather than moving toward a peace deal and the US and Ukraine signing a win-win deal on Ukrainian minerals, everything has blown up. It is an embarrassment.

I voted three times for President Trump, and up to now, I was impressed with JD Vance. Just prior to witnessing this press conference, I had posted an article complimenting Trump on his diplomacy for helping bring about the extradition of Mexican drug lord, Rafael Caro-Quintero, and others to the US from Mexico. Now I am sitting here questioning the diplomacy of the administration I voted for. Don't get me wrong. I will never regret voting against Kamala Harris, but if I am to maintain any credibility on this site, I have to call it as I see it. This is terrible. Just plain terrible.

You can watch the entire news conference here (The Hill).

Remembering Blaze Bernstein

 In January 2018, Blaze Bernstein, a 19-year-old college student, was stabbed to death in Borrego Park, Foothill Ranch (Orange Country), California. His killer was Samuel Woodward, a member of a neo-Nazi group called the Atomwaffen Division, who was 21 at the time of the murder. Since Blaze was both gay and Jewish, Woodward was charged with both murder and a hate crime enhancement. He was convicted and is now serving a life sentence in prison without parole.

Yesterday afternoon, I happened to be at Borrego Park for the first time for my grandson's soccer practice. During the practice, my daughter led me to the spot where Blaze's body was found back in 2018. It is now a memorial to  Blaze and is covered with stones left by people simply wishing to pay their respects. It is a Jewish tradition to lay a stone on a Jewish grave as a sign of love and respect.

As you can see from the photos I took, most of the stones left had been decorated or painted prior to bringing them to the site. Not being prepared, I found a stone in the bushes and placed it among all the others.

 

My humble stone in the middle

May his memory be a blessing.

Mexico Extradites Rafael Caro-Quintero to US

 

DEA Special Agent Enrique Camarena

Caro-Quintero in custody on US soil

Yesterday, 40 years after he led the kidnapping, torture, and murder of US Drug Enforcement Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena and Alfredo Zavala, a Mexican national who worked with Camarena, in Guadalajara, Mexican drug kingpin, Rafael Caro-Quintero, and 28 other Mexican major criminals wanted in the US, were extradited to our country. The official statement of Attorney General Pam Bondi can be read here. A short video of Caro-Quintero's arrival. on US soil can be viewed here.

This is a great day for DEA and the Camarena family. I actually never thought I would live to see this day. While DEA has suffered more than its share of agents killed in the line of duty, the circumstances surrounding his gruesome death made it particularly personal for the entire DEA family, including those, like myself who never met Kiki, and including today's generation of DEA personnel, most if not all of whom, who were not yet hired - or even born-when the terrible incident took place.

Though I don't know the exact details surrounding the agreement by Mexico to hand over Caro-Quintero and 28 other major criminals, I must give much credit to President Trump for making this a priority in his negotiations with Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum, who also recently became president of her country.

*Update: I have learned from multiple sources in the DEA retiree grapevine, that upon arrival in the US, Caro-Quintero was wearing the handcuffs that had belonged to Agent Camarena. Poetic justice.

Italy: Appeals Court Hearing in Saman Abbas "Honor Killing" Case

Saman Abbas

We have been covering the story of Saman Abbas, the 18-year-old Pakistani girl who was the victim of an "honor killing" by her family in Italy in 2021. The last person to be arrested was the mother, Nazia Shaheen, who was extradited back to Italy from Pakistan. She had already been convicted and sentenced to life in prison in absentia.

Now an appeals process is underway in Bologna. Nazia Shaheen has made her first appearance in court as part of this proceeding. The below article from Gazzetta di Parma is translated by Fousesquawk. 

Bologna

Murder of Saman, appeal proceedings: The mother, Nazia Shaheen in court for the first time after extradition

She crosses the courtyard of the appeals court of Bologna, her head bowed, escorted by penitentiary police, and besieged by TV cameras and photographers. Nazia Shaheen, the mother of Saman Abbas, arrives for the first time in a courtroom after extradition from Pakistan last August and remains seated for a long time with her head down, with her hands over her face, even when she can see the husband, Shabbar Abbas, after a long time, enter the Bachelet courtroom and take his place in the cage opposite hers. The mother of Saman is dressed in a traditional dark dress, a veil covering her head and part of her face (with), a medical face mask. The father has a green jacket, (and) he also, before entering the courtroom, has a cap on his head.

For the first hearing of the appeals process for the murder of the 18-year-old from Novellara, all of the 5 accused relatives are present. Besides the two parents, sentenced to life imprisonment, also the uncle of  Saman, Danish Hasnain, the other prisoner, who arrives with the guards, has a sentence of 14 years, appealed by his attorney and also by the public prosecutor, who was asking for a higher sentence. Also in the courtroom since early in the morning are the two cousins, free after acquittal by the criminal court in Reggio Emila in December 2023: Nomanhulaq Nomanhulaq and Ikram Ijaz, for whom the prosecutor's office has also filed an appeal.

The "crazy variable" of the trial in the second instance for the murder of Saman Abbas "are the statements of the accused: Shabbar Abbas has already spoken, (and) the real novelty is the presence in the courtroom of Nazia, who, not having participated in the (trial) in the first instance, would be a disruptive and new element of the trial." This was said by attorney Liborio Cataliotti, the defense attorney for Danish Hasnain, the uncle of the 18-year-old murdered, speaking with journalists before entering the courtroom of the appellate court and highlighting the role of the mother of the 18-year-old girl, in the courtroom for the first time after extradition.

His client, sentenced to 14 years in the first instance (trial), "is the only defendant to find himself in an ambivalent position. He has filed an appeal asking for acquittal and is also subject to the appeal of the prosecutor, who is asking for reapplication of the aggravating (circumstances), removed in the first instance (trial) at my request. If this was a soccer match, it would be zero to zero, the ball at midfield because anything can happen, from acquittal to life in prison. For the others, the game is different, (and) there are two sides opposite each other. Shabbar and Nazia have filed an appeal, and conversely, the prosecutor's office has appealed the acquittal of the other two defendants," he explained. In Cataliotti's opinion, "the evidence gathered in the first instance is quite sufficient, (and) I don't believe it is necessary to renew the investigation, I maintain the sentence is unassailable, which raises only one doubt: If Danish arrived before the execution of the brutal homicide or immediately after, and it is a doubt admittedly unresolved by the sentence, and in my opinion can make the difference."

In the next hearing on March 6, Saman Abbas' brother, a minor at the time of the events, will be heard again as a witness. This was decided by the Criminal Court of Appeals in Bologna, after consideration of the request for investigation by the Public Prosecutor's office. In the first instance, the young man had accused his relatives, but the court of Reggio Emilia substantially assessed many of his statements as unreliable. The hearing on March 6 will also show a video taken by the investigators that puts in order a series of sequences captured by the surveillance cameras on the days of the crime.

 

Switzerland: Afghan Asylum-Seeker Beats up Pensioner on Appenzell Train

Here's yet another Afghan success story out of Europe, this time from Switzerland. Earlier this month, a 31-year-old Afghan walked up to a 71-year-old pensioner on a train and began beating him until one passenger (and only one) intervened.

It turns out that the suspect was well-known to the local cops. Yet, he was still in the country and walking around free.

The below article from Blick (Switzerland) is translated from German by Fousesquawk.

Afghan is known to police

Attacker beats pensioner (71), on Appenzell train who is hospitalized

Out of nowhere, on a train in the Appenzell railroad in the beginning of February, a man beat up a pensioner. Except for one passenger, nobody intervened. Now it is clear: The perpetrator is known for previous violent acts.

By Janine Enderli

A man suddenly stands up and walks to the first class (compartment) of an Appenzell train and immediately strikes a pensioner. This brutal act happened in the beginning of February at the Voegelinsegg stop near Speicher (Ausserhoden). The attacked pensioner went immediately to the floor as the St Galler Tagblatt reported. 

"I needed a couple of seconds to grasp what was happening," said witness Paul Marschke (20), to the newspaper. The 20-year-old was the only one who intervened to help the victim. All the other passengers watched without acting, as the man lay dazed on the floor.

"That disappointed me"

Marschke then helped the man get up and ensured that the violent perpetrator, who meanwhile, was by the entrance to the train, could not attack the man again.

According to the newspaper, only after several minutes of riding time, were the police notified. "That I had to stand there alone so long, disappointed me, and really made me angry," Marschke describes.

The victim had to be taken to the hospital for examination, as the Appenzell Ausserrhoden confirmed. The perpetrator was arrested and booked.

Alleged perpetrator was known to police

On Tuesday, new details in the case were made known. The alleged thug, a 31-year-old temporarily admitted man from Afghanistan, was known to police.  He reportedly had previously drawn attention through violent acts, the St Gallen Tagblatt reports. Nevertheless, he was walking around free.

The exact course of events is, at this point, the object of the investigation. In addition, there is as yet no reliable information as to the motive of the alleged thug. The Cantonal Police of Appenzell confirm to the newspaper that the alleged perpetrator has kept the police officers busy for a long time. "Over the course of the last year and a half, the Cantonal Police of Appenzell Ausserrhoden have dealt with the alleged perpetrator a good half a dozen times.  It dealt with harassment up to attempted bodily injury," the Tagblatt quoted the police. 

The possibilities of the police are limited

 Why is it that the alleged perpetrator was walking around free? The police explain in the report that some arrested persons must be released the next day. That is "stressful and frustrating". Alleged perpetrators can only be taken into custody for 24 hours. Anything beyond that is decided by the public prosecutor.

The Cantonal public prosecutor is giving no further information in response to the newspaper due to the ongoing investigation. The question of whether the incident will have an influence on the resident status of the alleged perpetrator also remained unanswered.

Argentina Mourns the Bibas Family

-Times of Israel

On Monday, thousands of people took to the streets of Buenos Aires to mourn the deaths of Shiri Bibas and her two children, Kfir and Ariel, at the hands of Hamas. Shiri's father had immigrated from Argentina to Israel, where Shiri was born. The demonstration, which featured the Israeli ambassador to Argentina, also expressed its support for Israel and its disgust at the horrific actions of the Hamas terrorists.

The below article in the Mendoza Post (Argentina) is translated by Fousesquawk.

Thousands of Argentines remembered the Bibas family    

Edited Ana Montes de Oca  Tuesday, February 25, 2025

Thousands of people gathered on Monday in front of the Nautical Club Hacoaj, in the city of Buenos Aires in memory of Shiri, Kfir, and Ariel Bibas, to demand the liberation of the kidnapped (people) in Gaza, and to stand with the families of all the victims of the attacks perpetrated by Hamas.

The event was organized by the Israeli embassy in Argentina, the Mutual Israeli Argentina Association (AMIA), the Delegation of Israel Associations in Argentina (DAIA), the Zionist Organization of Argentina (OSA), and the Forum of Families of the Kidnapped and Disappeared.

Caption: The gathering was multitudinous 

Present were the Israeli ambassador to Argentina, Eyal Sela, the Minister of Security for Buenos Aires, Waldo Wolff, and the heads of the AMIA, Amos Linetzky, DAIA, Mauro Berenstein, and the OSA, Demian Stratievsky, as well as the head of the TADEA Foundation, Mario Montoto.

During the event, which began at 18:30 and was led by the journalist Alfred Leuco, the action of Hamas was denounced, and the necessity of society uniting in the rejection of terrorism. A few minutes before 19:00, Leuco recalled the "profound pain" of the Jewish community and Argentina in general, highlighting the recent arrival in Israel of the bodies of little Kfir and Ariel Bibas y Oded Lifshitz, victims of the October 7 attacks.

Ambassador Eyal Sela stated: "We had the hope of seeing them again after October 7. We know that they were murdered during captivity. The Bibas family asked that we do not give details of the brutality with which they were murdered. Hamas is the one guilty of this."  He also compared the acts of Hamas with Nazism and called radical Islamism "the evil of this century". Sela also gave thanks for the support of the Argentine president, Javier Milei, and the head of the government of Buenos Aires, Jorge Macri.

The head of AMIA, Amos Linetzky, also thanked the Argentine government for declaring two days of national mourning and criticized those who "have remained silent" in the face of the Hamas attacks. "It is still hard for us to digest and accept the pogrom of October 7, 2023. We point out the silence of the cowards who choose to be silent in the face of fundamentalist hate," he stated.  He also questioned the Left Front deputy, Vanidad Biassi, and activist Adolfo Perez Esquivel, whom he called  "The spokesman of fundamentalist Islamism". He also criticized the International Red Cross for its role in the conflict and Amnesty International for its accusations of genocide against Israel.

Mauro Berenstein, head of the DAIA, called the acts of Hamas "absolute evil" and accused the terrorist group of condemning  the future of entire generations through the indoctrination of hate."

Among the attendees, a wave of orange scarves, alluding to the hair color of the brothers, Kfir and Ariel Bibas, mixed with the flags of Israel and Argentina.

 

France: 13 Cars Tagged-"F*** the French"

On Wednesday night/early Thursday morning, 13 cars were spray-painted with messages insulting France and the French people. The incident happened at Orcières-Merlette in the Hautes-Alpes (French Alps) region of France.

While this is certainly not a major incident in the overall scheme of things, it should be noted that France has a serious problem on its hands with terrorist attacks, crime, vandalism of churches, and murders and rapes at the hands of mostly young males who are not French.

We have just reported this week on the fatal stabbing of a Portuguese man in Mulhouse at the hands of an Algerian illegal migrant who was under a deportation order. (Algeria refused to accept him.)

In addition), every New Year's Eve, all over France, these same young people take to the streets and set fire to thousands of cars. It has become a sort of tradition. Again, these miscreants are mostly not French. (Admittedly, many are born in France to immigrant families from former French colonies, such as Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia). An added factor is the unrest throughout so many Muslim populations, not just in their own countries, but in their diaspora as well. France-and other Western European countries have a huge problem on their hands with disaffected immigrant youth, many of whom are also developing extremist Islamist attitudes. It is obvious that they don't like France and they don't like the French people.

It appears in the car tagging case described below, the miscreants have escaped. Hopefully, the cops will track them down.

During the night of Wednesday the 19th into Thursday the 20th of February, 13 cars parked at the  Orcières-Merlett station were tagged. "Several of our customers who were parked on the Chardons-Bleus route were affected," indicated an employee of Clubs de Soleil Villages in Orcières.

The messages written: "F---  France" (Translator's note: "Nike"-This is apparently a misspelling of "nique"-F---), "F---the French", and "Boom". According to a French police source, these damages are "isolated incidents" and have no "political meaning". A large majority of these affected owners have filed complaints. "An investigation is underway by the brigades of Saint-Bonnet-en-Champsaur," stated Marion Lozac'Hmeur, public prosecutor of Gap*.

Miko Peled Defends October 7

Miko Peled in uniform

"On October 7, 2023, fighters came out of one of the poorest, most oppressed and most heavily controlled and monitored regions in the world and they were able to paralyze the apartheid state. No one has ever been able to do that. Considering the apartheid state has enormous military and intelligence capabilities, it is shocking that these fighters, who came from a concentration camp where water fit for human consumption is a luxury and the basic most needs for survival are non-existent, were able to change the power dynamic so dramatically. It was a watershed moment for Palestine."

-Miko Peled

Miko Peled is an Israeli immigrant to the US. He is also a fierce opponent of his country of birth. For several years here in the US, he has spoken in various venues including college campuses. In 2013, he spoke at the University of California at Irvine, and I was present. Not a particularly pleasant chap, he objected to my videotaping his speech and unsuccessfully tried to have me stop.

In this interview, which is posted in Informed Comment, the curiously-named blog of University of Michigan comedian and professor, Juan Cole, he once again attacks the Jewish state.  As he normally does, he just uses the standard talking points of the Palestinians in referring to the country of his birth (apartheid, genocide, ethnic cleansing). His hatred for Israel seeps through his words.

Of particular interest is his answer to a question from Iranian interviewer Fariba Amini about October 7, 2023, and the barbaric (my word, not theirs)  Hamas attack on Israel, which he justifies. And this man is described in the article as a "peace activist".

And this character we allowed to come and live here is also apparently a great friend to the mullahs in Iran, whom he visited in 2018. That says a lot about his agenda.

And if that isn't enough, he makes the boffo claim that once the "apartheid state falls", everyone will live in peace and harmony in a free and democratic Palestine. Even after October 7, he has the gumption to make that claim.

But there is one piece of good news to those of us living in California. Peled, who was residing in San Diego, has now apparently moved to Washington DC, where he has set up some sort of Palestinian home away from home.
