Religion / SAUDI GIRL WARNS GERMAN POLIC...
Last post by bosmftha - Dec 21, 2024, 09:21 AM🚨🇸🇦🇩🇪SAUDI GIRL WARNS GERMAN POLICE DRIVER IN MAGDENBURG MONTHS BEFORE CHRISTMAS MARKET ATTACK
A young Saudi woman living in Germany reported Talib A. to German police in September 2023, warning them that he planned to hit people with his car. Despite this, the police bureaucratically dismissed the report.
A month ago, Talib had posted death threats from 20 Germans, which the girl had also reported, but again the police did nothing.
Last night, Talib carried out his threat in Magdeburg, killing several innocent people while the left-wing media avoided reporting these critical details.

Last post by admin - Dec 21, 2024, 04:48 AMFive dead in car crash at crowded Christmas market in Germany
The driver involved in the attack was arrested, while the authorities called the incident an assault.

At least five people were killed and around 200 injured after a car crashed into a crowded Christmas market in the city of Magdeburg, capital of the central state of Saxony-Anhalt.
Governor Reiner Haseloff said on Saturday that the preliminary death toll had risen from two to five, as many more people were seriously injured.
Authorities late Friday described the incident as a deliberate attack and said the driver was arrested at the scene. An investigation is underway.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was among many to offer condolences shortly after the incident. His office said he would visit the scene on Saturday.
"Reports from Magdeburg suggest that something terrible has happened. My thoughts are with the victims and their families," Scholz wrote on the social media platform X. "We stand with them and the people of Magdeburg. I thank the dedicated rescuers in these anxious hours."

The Interior Minister of Saxony-Anhalt, Tamara Zieschang, identified the suspect as a 50-year-old Saudi doctor who arrived in Germany in 2006. He was previously unknown to security services. The Saudi Foreign Ministry condemned the attack. "The Kingdom reaffirms its position of rejecting violence and expresses its condolences and sincere sympathies to the families of the victims and to the Federal Republic of Germany," it said in a statement.
Another German state official, Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff, told local media that one of the victims was a child and the other an adult. He added that he could not say whether there would be other victims as a result of the alleged attack.
"This is just speculation at this point. "Every human life that was lost in this attack is a terrible tragedy and one too many human lives," Haseloff told reporters. He said authorities currently believe the suspect in custody is the sole perpetrator of the drive-by attack.
"As far as we know, this is a single perpetrator, so as far as we know, there is no further danger to the city," Haseloff told reporters.
Of the injured, 15 were identified as being in critical condition, according to the city's website. Another 37 people were moderately injured and 16 slightly injured.
Local media reported that the car involved was seen driving at high speed before plowing into the crowd around 7 p.m. local time (6 a.m. GMT). A police officer blocks a road near the scene of a suspected attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, on December 20.
Christmas markets are a tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages in German-speaking parts of Europe. In Magdeburg, a city of about 240,000 people, the market was set up in a town square, with stalls selling regional produce and drinks. "It's a terrible tragedy. This is a disaster for the city of Magdeburg and for the state, and for Germany in general," Haseloff said. "It's really one of the worst things you can imagine, especially in relation to what a Christmas market should bring."
Al Jazeera's Dominic Kane, who was at the scene of the alleged attack on Friday, said the Christmas market was reportedly particularly busy when the car was hit. "It's the last Friday before Christmas." "It's a tradition throughout Germany that Christmas markets are the places people go, especially on Friday nights," he said.
Kane added that media reports suggested that Saudi authorities had alerted their German counterparts to the suspect's presence before the attack.
Police searched his home after the incident for explosives or other incriminating materials, but found no other evidence. The suspect's alleged use of a rental car could provide investigators with a way to learn more about his actions before the attack. "Obviously there will be a record of when and where the car was picked up and what documents were used to get the car in the first place. Those are all lines of inquiry," Kane said.
The attack comes at a particularly sensitive time for German politics, with Scholz losing a confidence vote in parliament earlier this week, triggering a snap federal election scheduled for Feb. 23.
Kane said the incident was likely to play to the advantage of the far-right anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which has gained ground in recent regional elections.
The alleged attack on Friday night also comes eight years after a similar attack in the German capital, Berlin, on Dec. 19, 2016. In this case, a Tunisian suspect, Anis Amri, 24, intentionally drove a truck into a Christmas market in a large public square, Breitscheidplatz.
Twelve people were killed in the attack and no fewer than 56 were injured. Amri was eventually killed in a shootout in Milan after fleeing to Italy.
Raphael Bossong, a senior fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, speculated that the two incidents are likely to be linked, although it is too early to speculate.
"Unfortunately, it is a very sad anniversary and I am sure that the perpetrator chose this event for this purpose, to evoke that memory," Bossong told Al Jazeera shortly after the news broke. He added that Friday's alleged attack could have political repercussions in Germany.
"We are entering an election period and the German debate is already very polarized around these migration issues," Bossong explained. "I'm sure this will only add fuel to the fire, as sad as it is."
In particular, security measures, both in the market and on site, should be closely scrutinized.
"All Christmas markets and all these facilities in general are now supposed to be traffic-free, in the sense that no cars or trucks can enter them," Bossong told Al Jazeera. "The authorities should probably give an explanation."
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, an increasingly prominent figure on the far right, has already taken advantage of the attack to call for Chancellor Scholz to resign.
"Scholz must resign immediately," he wrote in a comment on his social media platform.
Earlier today, Musk announced that he would support the AfD party in the upcoming elections in Germany. "Only the AfD can save Germany," he wrote, expressing his support.

Crime and war / Twelve people were beheaded b...
Last post by bosmftha - Dec 21, 2024, 03:18 AMTwelve people were beheaded by Saudi Arabia during the World Cup. As attention turns to the World Cup, Saudi Arabia is accused of beheading 12 people.
The Middle Eastern country is accused of killing a dozen men in 10 days, despite the crown prince's pledge to curb such vendettas. The defendants were jailed for non-violent drug offenses and later sentenced to death, according to human rights group Revive. Maya Foa, the group's director, warned that the death toll could rise to 13 soon.

Last post by admin - Dec 21, 2024, 03:02 AMDr. Steven Greer: False Flag Coming
"This is a very dangerous situation."
Dr. Steven Greer warns of an imminent government false flag operation designed to create chaos and deception. "They're doing this as a false flag to hide the truth," he said.
Over the next 30 days, whistleblowers from six black sites will come forward, revealing a secret program dating back to the late 1950s that the globalist deep state is trying to maintain control, but defectors are pulling the trigger.
"They have electromagnetic pulse weapons and technology capable of shooting down UFOs," he reveals, warning of a dangerous escalation expected in early January. A Marine encountered an artificial device used to transport civilians for horrific experiments.
The stakes are higher than ever. Will the truth finally come out or are we on the brink of disaster? @DrStevenGreer

Crime and war / Trump to sue Bill Gates for ...
Last post by admin - Dec 21, 2024, 02:39 AM🚨 Trump to sue Bill Gates for 'crimes against America.
The incoming Trump administration is reportedly determined to prosecute Dr. Anthony Fauci and send billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates to Guantanamo Bay for crimes against humanity.
According to a source close to Trump's transition team, the legally complex plan includes stripping Gates of his U.S. citizenship and designating him as an enemy combatant — allegedly for crimes committed against America in the name of a globalist agenda.
While the new allegations point to a direct link between Gates and more than a million American deaths, these extraordinary measures will be central to Trump's mission, not just to "make America great again," but also to make it whole and just once again.

Sports / Usyk v Fury 2 - big-fight pred...
Last post by Dev Sunday - Dec 21, 2024, 01:08 AMThe potential rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury has generated immense anticipation in the world of boxing, with fans and analysts alike speculating about how the fight might unfold. The first encounter between these two heavyweight champions would be a battle of contrasting styles, with Usyk's technical brilliance and Fury's size and unpredictability promising an electrifying contest. As we look ahead to a possible second fight, several factors will determine how it could play out.
**Usyk's Technical Mastery**: Oleksandr Usyk, the undefeated Ukrainian southpaw, is known for his exceptional footwork, speed, and boxing IQ. His ability to outmaneuver opponents, dictate the pace of the fight, and land clean shots from unexpected angles is his greatest strength. Against Fury, Usyk will likely rely on his superior movement, trying to frustrate the Brit by making him miss and countering effectively. Usyk's ability to maintain distance and control the tempo will be key to disrupting Fury's rhythm.
In the first fight, Usyk would need to avoid Fury's ability to close the distance and land powerful punches, particularly the straight right hand and the left hook. He's shown against opponents like Anthony Joshua that he can withstand heavy shots, but Fury's unpredictability in the ring might present new challenges. Usyk will also have to contend with Fury's physicality, which could mean more clinches and rough exchanges, where his speed and agility will be tested.
**Fury's Size and Unpredictability**: Tyson Fury, standing at 6'9" and weighing in around 270 pounds, holds a significant size and reach advantage over Usyk. This physical dominance, combined with his unorthodox fighting style, gives Fury the ability to impose his will on almost any opponent. In the first fight, Fury could use his size advantage to corner Usyk, using his jab to control range and his power punches to keep Usyk on the back foot.
However, Fury's unpredictability is a double-edged sword. His confidence in his own skills, combined with his sometimes erratic movements and decision-making in the ring, could leave him open to counters if he becomes too reckless or overly aggressive. Usyk's ability to capitalize on Fury's mistakes, as seen in his victories over larger, more physically imposing fighters, could be decisive. Fury's challenge will be to ensure his size and power don't overwhelm him to the point where Usyk can exploit the openings.
**Key Factors in a Potential Rematch**:
1. **Conditioning**: Both fighters are known for their stamina, but in a rematch, the question will be whether Usyk can maintain his speed and movement over the full 12 rounds while avoiding the heavy punches from Fury. Fury has previously shown he can go the distance with heavyweights like Deontay Wilder, but against someone as technically sound as Usyk, he will need to stay focused and conserve energy while landing meaningful punches.
2. **Strategy and Adaptation**: Both boxers will need to adapt their strategies from the first fight. Usyk will likely need to continue using his footwork to stay out of range while landing clean, precise shots. Fury, on the other hand, might look to press harder, working inside and using his strength to break Usyk's rhythm. The ability of both fighters to adapt during the course of the fight will be crucial.
3. **Mental Toughness**: Both fighters have demonstrated immense mental fortitude in previous bouts. Usyk's ability to maintain his composure, especially when under pressure, will be tested as Fury seeks to dominate physically. Similarly, Fury will need to guard against overconfidence, knowing that Usyk has the skills to pick apart even the most dominant of heavyweights.
**Prediction**: Given the strengths and weaknesses of each fighter, the fight is likely to go the distance, with both men having their moments of success. If Usyk can maintain his composure and effectively avoid Fury's power punches, he could score a unanimous decision win based on his superior technique and ring generalship. However, if Fury can impose his size and power, particularly in the middle rounds, he might be able to break Usyk down and secure a stoppage or a hard-fought decision.
the Usyk vs Fury 2 fight promises to be a fascinating clash of styles, with each fighter having the tools to win. The outcome will depend on who can execute their strategy more effectively and whether either boxer can impose their will on the other.

Culture / Will Slowthai be 'cancelled fo...
Last post by Dev Sunday - Dec 21, 2024, 01:05 AMThe question of whether Slowthai, the British rapper known for his provocative and often controversial behavior, will be "cancelled for the rest of time" has become a topic of considerable discussion in the wake of several incidents in his career. Slowthai, whose real name is Tyron Frampton, has faced multiple controversies, including accusations of inappropriate behavior at public events and his outspoken, sometimes confrontational public persona. However, the notion of him being "cancelled" hinges on the broader debate surrounding cancel culture, accountability, and public forgiveness.
One of the most notable incidents occurred at the 2020 NME Awards, where Slowthai was filmed making inappropriate gestures and comments toward presenter Katherine Ryan. The incident sparked a backlash, leading to widespread condemnation of his actions. He later apologized for his behavior, acknowledging that he had crossed a line. Slowthai's response to criticism has often been defiant, which has polarized public opinion, with some defending his right to self-expression and others criticizing his actions as part of a pattern of problematic behavior.
Another moment that led to criticism was his involvement in a controversial music video, as well as his lyrics, which some have deemed misogynistic or disrespectful to women. These controversies have contributed to the ongoing scrutiny of his career. Despite this, Slowthai's fanbase has remained loyal, and he continues to have a strong presence in the music industry, particularly in the UK rap scene.
The idea of being "cancelled for the rest of time" often oversimplifies the complex dynamics of public perception, especially in the context of musicians and celebrities. Slowthai's situation is a clear example of the tension between personal accountability and the capacity for growth and redemption. While some have called for him to be permanently excluded from public life, others have argued that individuals, especially artists, should be allowed the space to evolve and learn from their mistakes. His ability to remain relevant in the music scene suggests that his fanbase, at least for now, is willing to give him a second chance.
In the broader context, Slowthai's trajectory highlights the ever-evolving nature of cancel culture. Rather than permanently sidelining individuals, the culture often leads to intense, but temporary, public scrutiny. Many celebrities who have been "cancelled" have gone on to make comebacks after offering apologies or reframing their actions. For Slowthai, whether or not he is permanently "cancelled" will depend on his future actions, his ability to navigate public controversies, and the public's willingness to forgive or forget.
