The primary suspect in the mass stabbing attack in the German city of Solingen, a 26-year-old Syrian identified as Issa Al H., was scheduled for deportation last year. German authorities, however, failed to remove him.
German media reported that the Syrian had first entered the European Union (EU) through Bulgaria, passing through several safe countries en route to Germany. Subsequently, Germany refused his asylum claim last year, planning to send him back to Bulgaria under EU rules, which allow for the removal of illegal immigrants back to the first EU member they entered.
However, Issa Al H. disappeared just before his scheduled deportation. After he reappeared months later, he was “redistributed” to Solingen rather than removed.
He allegedly murdered three people in a mass stabbing attack at a diversity festival in the city on Friday. The Islamic State has taken credit for the killings.
While the Solingen attack appears to be terrorism-related, knife attacks have become more and more common in Germany in general, with the German federal government proposing restrictions on the length of blades that can be carried in public. Even German media admits that the real problem is not how long knives are but the fact much of the knife crime is being committed by migrants. Migrants are behind around 58.5 percent of all of the violent crime that takes place in Germany, according to police statistics.

Globalist and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is demanding gender equity from nations selecting their candidates for coveted positions within the European Union’s executive branch. However, member states are largely ignoring von der Leyen’s request.
Each European Union (EU) member state is granted one candidate for a role at the Commission, but to achieve gender parity, Von Der Leyen is asking states to submit both a man and a woman for consideration. Despite the pressure from the EU president, though, many member states have ignored the request, with only six women being nominated so far alongside sixteen men.
Denmark and Italy are also expected to nominate men in the coming days, making the Commission’s composition two-thirds men, a higher rate than when Von der Leyen first became Commission president in 2019. Meanwhile, Thierry Breton of France is among those already selected for Commission positions. He recently threatened Elon Musk, demanding he pre-censor his interview on X with former President Donald J. Trump.
Breton has been outspoken in his desire to censor social media in the name of combatting hate speech online.
Estonia’s selection, former prime minister Kaja Kallas, is a well-known anti-Russia hawk and has previously called for Russia to be broken up into smaller states and has supported increasing NATO involvement in the war between Ukraine and Russia.
The European Union Commission and its thousands of bureaucrats are the most powerful arm of the European Union. They can propose new laws, allocate European funding to member states, represent the bloc internationally, and enforce EU laws.
DEEPLY UNPOPULAR COMMISSION.
President Von der Leyen was only recently re-elected by the European Parliament’s center-left, center-right, and liberal factions, although she was the only candidate in the vote.
While several left-wing female European politicians have slammed the idea of a male-dominated Commission—such as Germany’s Europe Minister Anna Lührmann—the broader implications could indicate countries have less confidence in President Von der Leyen and pay less heed to her demands.
Polls released earlier this year suggest that Von der Leyen and the Commission are not popular with the general public. Only 18 percent view her and the Commission positively in certain member states like France. Overall, just 36 percent of the general European public have a positive view of the Commission and its president, and only three member states, Denmark, Portugal, and Spain, had a majority positive view.
Even among those within the European Parliament, Von Der Leyen is not viewed as an immensely popular figure, and prior to her re-election last month, some doubted she would be able to muster enough votes.

Authorities are investigating an explosion outside Beth Yaacov synagogue in La Grande-Motte in the French south as an “attempted terrorist murder.” The incident occurred on Saturday morning when two cars were set ablaze near the synagogue, one containing a concealed gas canister.
Police, citing video surveillance, reported that a man seen igniting the vehicles carried a Palestinian flag and possibly a handgun. He also appears to be wearing the Arab keffiyeh scarf also worn by far-left activists in the United States, UK, and Europe.
One police officer was injured in the explosion, which took place shortly after 8AM local time. The officer’s injuries are not life-threatening. Five individuals, including the rabbi, were inside the synagogue during the blast.

So far, reports that a police officer was injured.
The head of the Jewish community in France, Yonathan Arfi, interpreted the attack as “an attempt to kill Jews,” suggesting it was timed to coincide with the presence of Saturday morning congregants. President Emmanuel Macron labeled the explosion a “terrorist act.”
Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin are slated to visit the site later on Saturday. Both officials have condemned the act, with Attal describing it as “antisemitic” and Darmanin assuring reinforced security around Jewish sites. Darmanin also pledged his support to the Jewish community and the local municipality.

The Houthi terrorist group, which controls a large portion of Yemen, is claiming responsibility for destroying a Greek tanker ship carrying crude oil from Iraq to Greece. Video of the aftermath shows the ship exploding and burning as it sits adrift in the Red Sea. According to the European Union (EU), an EU naval mission was able to rescue the sailors on board.
Since the October 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel, Yemen’s Houthis have engaged in an extensive terror campaign against shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. However, the attack on the Greek-flagged Sounion is one of the most brazen strikes yet. The fact that the ship is Greek-owned and said under a Greek flag raises some concerns that the attack could trigger an Article 5 declaration by NATO, as Greece has been a member of the alliance since 1952.
A spokesman for the Houthi terrorist group claims the Greek ship “belongs to a company that have ties with the Israeli enemy and violated the ban decision of entry to the ports of occupied Palestine.” Despite the terrorist group’s assertion, the oil tanker’s official manifest states it was bound from Iraq to Greece and carrying 150,000 tons of crude oil.
Following initial land-to-sea missile strikes on both domestic and military ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden region by the Houthis, the Biden-Harris government—in conjunction with the United Kingdom—has carried out sporadic air strikes against the group. However, the deterrence effort has thus far proved ineffective. The National Pulse reported in May that the Houthi terrorist group successfully downed a $30 million dollar drone and was able to capture the weapon, which appeared to be concerning in fair condition.

Several people have been stabbed at a festival in Solingen in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany on Friday evening as witnesses report that an “Arab-looking” man fled the scene. As of publication, reports indicated three individuals have been confirmed dead, and an additional nine people are listed in critical condition.
German media reports that dozens of rescue workers are currently on site to tend to the wounded and help resuscitate those stabbed by the alleged attacker. Police in the city have declared an emergency situation, and witnesses to the attack say a man who looked to be of Arab background had committed the attack.
BREAKING:
At least 9 people stabbed at “diversity festival” in Solingen, Germany.
The attack comes less than a month after a teenager born to Rwandan parents in Wales was arrested for the fatal stabbing of three young girls at a dance class in the English town of Southport. The incident sparked anti-mass migration protests and riots across the country, followed by a crackdown on protestors by UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and his leftist Labour government.

Hungary is threatening to send migrants directly to the European Union (EU) capital of Brussels, Belgium if disputes with the EU over penalties imposed on Hungary for controlling its borders are not resolved. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has imposed a €200 million (~$222.5 million) penalty and a daily fine of €1 million (~$1.1 million) on Hungary for turning away illegal immigrants at its border instead of allowing them to claim asylum.
Gergely Gulyas, who heads Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s office, says negotiations with the European Commission will begin in September. He warns that failure to reach an agreement will result in Hungary issuing “one-way tickets to Brussels” for migrants. Gulyas wants a swift resolution to the dispute to avoid daily fines piling up.
The European Commission has not commented on Gulyas’s remarks.
The current situation mirrors tensions in the United States, where pro-borders Texas is bussing illegal immigrants to states like New York, where state officials oppose a border wall construction and promote “sanctuary” policies.
The row is just the latest between the EU and Hungary. Orbán’s government also faces pushback from the bloc for a law banning the promotion of LGBT ideology to children in schools and media.
The EU is also clashing with Bulgaria over new legislation along similar lines.

The populist Austrian Freedom Party (FPOe) released its election manifesto on Wednesday, calling for the “remigration” of illegal immigrants, failed asylum seekers, and those who take advantage of Austria’s social benefits to their home countries. Firebrand FPOe leader Herbert Kickl has introduced the platform just a month before Austrians go to the polls in the European Union member’s national elections, stating, “These invaders want to harm us, endanger our security and our prosperity.”
Kickl made it clear that the immigrants he referred to were not those who had come to Austria to become productive members of society and successfully integrated. He also promised no new taxes and various tax cuts, plus savings on social services.
Remigration policies have been adopted by other populists in Europe, including the Sweden Democrats, who proposed striping citizenship from immigrants who refuse to integrate.
“The Austrian family, with a liberal chancellor as a good family man, should be able to flourish and develop its potential in Fortress Austria, Fortress Freedom,” Kickl said.
The FPOe are often labeled “liberal” in Austria due to their classical liberal economic policies and support for classical liberal freedoms, such as private firearms ownership.
Another significant proposal in the FPOe manifesto is support for more direct democracy, giving the general public the ability to dismiss an incompetent government through a referendum, which he describes as a vote of no confidence from the people.
The FPOe currently dominates the polls going into next month’s elections and is projected to place first, but whether they can form a government with the center-right Austrian People’s Party (OeVP) remains to be seen.

Sweden, once among the countries most eager to import asylum seekers and other migrants en masse, is recording more people emigrating than immigrating for the first time in 50 years. The center-right government, led by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson of the Moderate Party and supported by the populist Sweden Democrats, has released figures that appear to show historically low levels of new asylum claims.
“The number of asylum applications is heading towards a historically low level, asylum-related residence permits continue to decrease, and for the first time in 50 years, Sweden has net emigration,” lawmaker Maria Malmer Stenergard said. A United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) representative to the Nordic and Baltic countries, Annika Sandlund, backed up the claim, complaining the statistics appear to show an outflow of migrants.
However, Sweden’s statistics agency, the SCB, is more cautious, warning it is not yet possible to confirm a net outflow from January to May of this year.
Skeptics say the statistics are false, resulting from the Swedish Tax Registry clearing its books of people who have already left the country since summer. This could be making it seem that people left during that period when they actually left the country months or even years prior but remained on the tax register.
Sweden has issues with migrants continuing to claim welfare benefits despite leaving the country, which could keep them on the register.
If the figures are accurate, however, they would be a success for the anti-mass migration Sweden Democrats, who have previously floated ideas to strip naturalized immigrants who refuse to integrate their citizenship, among other measures.

A French boy who collected and shared as many as 1,700 jihadi propaganda and execution videos on encrypted messaging apps has been found guilty of glorifying terrorism by a French court.
The 12-year-old boy, from the French commune of Sochaux, was found guilty on Wednesday, August 21, Montbéliard Public Prosecutor Paul-Edouard Lallois announced.
Since December 2023, the boy, described as having “significant vulnerabilities,” recorded over 1,700 videos related to jihadist propaganda and executions, which he then shared via encrypted messaging services.
During a nearly four-hour closed-door hearing, the boy admitted to exploring Islam and joining radical discussion channels on platforms like Discord and Telegram.
He acknowledged being recruited into these radical circles. Given his age, the court cannot impose judicial control; instead, he is under provisional educational measures while awaiting sentencing in seven months.
Currently separated from his family, the boy has been placed in a collective care facility where he receives support and educational attention.
His parents, who have been cleared of any involvement, were separated, and he lived with his mother and siblings. Known to be quiet and withdrawn, the boy had not been noticed at school or in his community.
France’s neighbor, the UK, has also seen several young people arrested in recent weeks on the other end of the political spectrum for taking part in anti-mass migration riots that were sparked by the murder of three young girls, allegedly by a teen born to Rwandan parents.
At least two 12-year-olds were arrested by British police, with one of the boys in Manchester pleading guilty to charges of violent behavior at two protests on July 31 and August 3.

Britain’s new Labour government will begin the process of reversing Brexit with a deal to partially restore the so-called Free Movement migration regime, with European Union (EU) citizens under 30 becoming free to work, study, and volunteer in the United Kingdom for up to three years. In practice, the Free Movement of Labor in the EU is not only for workers. For instance, judges ruled EU migrants could not be deported for turning up and becoming beggars.
“If we are serious about resetting relations with the EU, then we need to be prepared to give them some of the things that they want,” said a Labour government source. Britain has already repeatedly given way to EU demands on British payments into the EU budget, EU access to British fisheries, continued EU control over Northern Ireland, and more.
“We do not need to do anything,” gloated another EU source, saying they “see the current arrangements”—negotiated to the EU’s advantage, largely by anti-Brexit former prime minister Theresa May—as “quite satisfactory.”
“Our understanding is that it is the UK which wants to benefit from some closer relationships. Here we, as is standard with any trading partner, have some well-known offensive interests in terms of gaining in return,” they threatened. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, an anti-Brexit politician who lobbied for a redo of the first Brexit referendum, is unlikely to drive a hard bargain with the EU despite claiming he will not try to return Britain to the bloc’s control.
