Germany Blames Ukrainians for Pipeline Sabotage, Issues Arrest Warrant.

Germany has issued its first arrest warrant in connection to the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, aiming at a Ukrainian national who previously worked for the Ukrainian military. The European Arrest Warrant (EAW) targets a Volodymyr S., said to have been living in Poland. However, Polish prosecutors say he has already left the country.

German intelligence and their European counterparts in the Netherlands and elsewhere were able to identify Volodymyr S., a diving instructor, through witness testimony and photographs.

Previous reports claimed Nord Stream was sabotaged by Ukrainian special forces who rented a yacht that sailed from Germany to Denmark, Sweden, Poland, and then back to Germany around the same time as the sabotage. Ukrainian special forces commandos are believed to have dived down to the pipeline and attached explosives at a depth of around 260 feet. Some explosive residue was found on board the yacht.

Dutch intelligence is said to have been the first to warn that Ukraine was behind the attack, which many Western leaders initially blamed on Russia—despite the lack of any obvious motive for the Russians to destroy lucrative pipelines bypassing Ukraine and going directly to their customers in the European Union.

The Dutch claimed Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky did not give the order to destroy the pipeline, with the operation allegedly headed by the now-former head of the armed forces, Valery Zaluzhnyi.

Poland’s foreign minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, has previously suggested that U.S. President Joe Biden knew about the attack plan against NATO infrastructure before it was carried out but allowed it to take place.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) allegedly knew about the attack as much as six months in advance.

As Olympic Truce Ends, Macron Under Pressure to Appoint Prime Minister.

France’s President Emmanuel Macron is facing pressure from opposition groups in the National Assembly to finally appoint a new Prime Minister now that the Paris Olympics are over, but no clear candidate has emerged. Outgoing Prime Minister Gabriel Attal has written a letter to several factions in the legislature, excluding Marine Le Pen’s populist National Rally (RN) and the far-left France Unbowed (LFI).

In the letter, Attal calls for an alliance to form a working majority to select the next prime minister. Such an alliance would exclude the RN, which won the most votes of any single party in the July parliamentary elections, and the LFI, which won the most votes of the parties within the far-left New Popular Front (NFP) bloc.

The parties that make up the New Popular Front, including the LFI and the Socialist and Communist parties, have the most seats in the legislature but do not have enough seats to govern alone. The ‘Macronist’ faction of globalists loyal to the president, including Attal, has the second-most seats, with the RN in third despite placing first by share of the popular vote.

The bloc supporting Macron has already managed to re-elect Yaël Braun-Pivet as the legislature’s president by securing the support of the establishment right Les Republicains (Republicans), a RINO-like minor faction.

The far-left and globalist parties successfully conspired to keep Le Pen’s RN out of all key positions within the National Assembly, which Marine Le Pen and many members of the public believe to be anti-democratic.

TRUCE OVER, NO COALITION. 

Now that the so-called Olympic truce is over, the Socialists are demanding President Macron immediately appoint a new Prime Minister.

Socialist spokeswoman Chloé Ridel says Macron cannot delay this for much longer, as a new budget needs to be finalized by the end of September. Ridel acknowledges that forming a working coalition in the legislature will take time, but she warns the current caretaker government cannot last forever.

If a coalition can be formed, it will likely involve the second-placed Macronists peeling away parties within the far-left New Popular Front, such as the Socialists, from the left-populist LFI, possibly with the support of the Republicans.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, predicted before the Olympics that if France’s leftist and globalist parties Macron cannot form a durable coalition, another snap election is likely.

DATA: Migrants Committing 80% of ALL Welfare Fraud.

Around 80 percent of all welfare benefit fraud money in Sweden goes to foreign-born migrants, according to research from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, who claim migrants are vastly overrepresented in fraud cases.

The report, which was initially only published internally, shows that migrants are particularly overrepresented in cases of “assistance compensation” as well as child benefits and parental benefits.

Regarding assistance compensation, migrants are eight times as likely to receive money they are not entitled to.

The report categorizes fraud into two categories: intentional and unintentional. One reason migrants are overrepresented is that many still claim welfare benefits after leaving Sweden and moving abroad.

While the number of unintentional welfare fraud cases is higher, the report highlights that the amount of money in intentional cases is much higher, averaging around $2,000 per case.

Across Europe, migrants tend to have both higher rates of unemployment than natives as well as higher usage of welfare systems.

In Germany, 60 percent of all the welfare recipients in the country are from migrant backgrounds, with the number as high as 70 percent in some areas of the country.

During the migrant crisis in 2015 and 2016, Germany saw a massive influx of Syrian nationals, and despite many having now lived in the country for nearly a decade, most are still on welfare benefits.

Parts of the United States have an even higher rate of migrant welfare use. In the city of Westbrook, Maine, 95 percent of the welfare dependents are illegal aliens.

Earlier this year, local Democrats were considering an ordinance to allow private homes, churches, and community centers to serve as homeless shelters, essentially creating an immigration resettlement program funded by taxpayers.

Male Boxer Fighting for Women’s Gold at Paris Olympics.

Male boxer Imane Khelif, who has failed several gender tests, is set to face Yang Liu of China in the final round of the women’s welterweight boxing division at the Paris Olympic Games on Friday, August 9. The Algerian is a single victory away from a gold medal.

Khelif has dominated the female athletes at the Paris Olympics, not losing a single round to any of her opponents.

The International Boxing Association (IBA) released a statement on August 5 regarding Imane Khelif, explaining that the Algerian was disqualified from previous tournaments for failing tests meant to determine whether or not he was eligible to fight in women’s boxing.

The IBA conducted multiple tests in 2022 and 2023 and both tests showed that Khelif failed to meet the gender requirements to compete with women. Khelif also signed a paper acknowledging the test results.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) split with the IBA despite being given the test results, and allowed Khelif to compete with women at the Paris Olympics. The IOC later claimed it had not been informed about Khelif by the IBA, but the IBA says this is a lie.

Khelif’s opening fight with Italian female boxer Angela Carini  caused controversy after the Italian quit the bout in just 46 seconds, saying Khelif’s blows “hurt too much.”

Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni spoke out on the case, slamming the IOC for allowing Khelif to compete with women in the first place.

“Athletes with masculine attributes shouldn’t be allowed in women’s competitions,” Meloni said.

The IOC, which determines the gender of boxers based on whatever their passport says, is defending Khelif’s participation in the Olympics, claiming that the Algerian is a victim of “aggression” in the form of criticism.

Populist Who Survived Murder Attempt Has Car Set on Fire.

Police in the German city of Bremen state that unknown suspects set fire to a vehicle owned by a former populist lawmaker who was almost murdered in 2019. In the early morning of Thursday, August 8, a Volkswagen was set on fire in a public parking lot in the city. Firefighters were able to contain the blaze before it could set fire to a nearby apartment building.

The vehicle is said to belong to Frank Magnitz, a former member of the German parliament for the anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Police say they are investigating a possible political motive for the attack.

In 2019, Magnitz was savagely beaten, nearly to death, while walking down a street in Bremen after leaving a local theatre. Antifa militants took credit for the attack on a platform associated with far-left extremism. However, no arrests were ever made, nor were any suspects named in the case.

The attack matches similar assaults carried out by the notorious Antifa-aligned Hammerbande (Hammer Gang) group. The Hammer Gang terrorizes political opponents by beating them bloody with claw hammers.

Members of the Hammerbande traveled to Budapest, Hungary, last year, where they attacked both populists and random bystanders in a rampage across the city.

An Italian national connected to the gang was arrested by Hungarian police but was later elected as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP), giving her immunity from prosecution.

Taylor Swift Concert Canceled After Islamic State Bomb Plot Uncovered.

Taylor Swift has been forced to abandon concerts in Vienna, Austria after police uncovered an Islamic State-linked terror plot involving three teenagers. Bomb material was found at the home of the alleged ringleader. Vienna police released information on the teenagers, two of whom were arrested on Wednesday. Taylor Swift was set to perform on Thursday.

The plot’s ringleader, a 19-year-old born with Austrian citizenship but born in North Macedonia, is said to be a radical Muslim who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State in July. Investigators say they found explosives, knives, machetes, and 21,000 euros in counterfeit money during searches of his home.

He is said to have been radicalized online and used encrypted messaging apps to communicate with the other suspects, aged 17 and 15. The 17-year-old is an Austrian citizen with a Turkish and Croatian background and was employed at a company that provided services at concerts. The 15-year-old is said to have been involved in preparations for the attack, but he was only questioned, not arrested.

Austrian authorities say the attack was likely to occur outside of the concert as people gathered, with the 19-year-old intending to blow himself up. A similar attack was carried out in Manchester, England, at an Ariana Grande concert, leaving 22 dead and over a thousand injured, including many children.

The Vienna plot comes just months after a mass killing of concert-goers in Moscow, Russia, blamed on ISIS-K, an Islamic State offshoot. This attack saw 130 people killed.

It also comes just over a week after the fatal stabbing of three young girls aged six, seven, and nine at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, in the United Kingdom. The suspect in these killings, which have sparked nationwide protests, is the son of two African migrants.

More U.S. Personnel Injured in Middle East Base Attacks Under Biden-Harris.

At least five U.S. personnel were injured on Monday in an attack on a military base in Iraq, according to U.S. officials. The incident comes amid high tensions in the Middle East due to senior members of militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah dying in Israeli strikes last week.

Two Katyusha rockets hit al-Asad airbase in western Iraq, per Iraqi security sources. Any connections between the attack and Iran’s threats to retaliate for the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh remain unclear.

Speaking anonymously, U.S. officials confessed that one American sustained severe injuries and warned the initial casualty reports may change. Base personnel are currently assessing the damage post-attack.

Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, was assassinated in the Iranian capital of Tehran last week. Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah commander, was also killed by a strike in Beirut, Lebanon, risking broader conflict in the Middle East.

The U.S. has been closely monitoring Iran’s potential responses to these events. U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant discussed the situation, describing the attack as “a dangerous escalation,” according to the Pentagon.

In response to the threat, the Pentagon is deploying additional fighter jets and warships to reinforce regional defenses.

Iraq hosts 2,500 U.S. troops but has Iran-backed militias within its security forces. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are failing to ensure the safety of U.S. troops in the region, with three Americans dying and dozens wounded in a drone strike on a base in neighboring Jordan in January.

Biden-Harris Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is pleading with the Iraqi government to ask Iran to moderate its response to Haniyeh’s assassination in Tehran. U.S. troops are due to be pulled out of Iraq next month.

Christians Arrested in Paris Over Bus Protesting Blasphemous Olympic ‘Last Supper’ Parody.

Six members of the French group CitizenGo were arrested by Paris police this week for through the city in a bus calling for a halt to attacks on Christians, highlighting the mockery of the Last Supper at the opening ceremony of the ongoing Summer Olympics.

On August 6, CitizenGo posted on X saying that their activists had to spend a night in jail simply for driving the bus around Paris:

According to their lawyer, French prosecutors argued they did not have permission for a protest. However, simply driving a vehicle with a slogan on it does not qualify as an organized protest, and the lawyer says the prosecutor “pushed the law to its limits to stop the bus and limit their free speech.”

CitizenGo says the entire incident was “anti-Christian political and ideological persecution.”

Reports claim that three of those arrested were female, and police forced them to undress. The pretext for the humiliating search was that they may have been concealing drugs. They were also placed into custody without any food or water. Upon release, the Christians and their bus were escorted out of Paris.

The mockery of the Last Supper at the Olympic opening ceremony featured transgenders and drag queens in the place of Jesus Christ and his Apostles, prompting widespread controversy and condemnation across the globe.

Former President Donald J. Trump called the opening ceremony “a disgrace.” Olympic organizers issued a quasi-apology for offending people, but American Roman Catholic Bishop Robert Barron rejected its formulation as “woke duplicity.”

EU Globalists Call for Hungary to Be Ejected from Open Borders Agreement.

European Union politicians are calling to remove Hungary from the open borders Schengen Area after the country announced it would be granting work visas to Russians and Belarusians. The policy, effective from early July, enables those from Russia and Belarus to bring their families and potentially secure permanent residency.

The move has drawn criticism from some other EU member states, who fear it could jeopardize European security. Finland’s Social Democratic Parliamentary Group leader Tytti Tuppurainen has called for Hungary’s exclusion from Schengen Area, and EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson warned that the bloc might take action.

However, there are no calls for similar action against Western European member states like Germany and Sweden, which host hundreds of thousands of migrants from countries where radical Islamic terrorism is endemic, such as Afghanistan, Syria, and Somalia.

Over the weekend, 70 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) signed a letter urging the unelected European Commission to investigate Hungary’s decision, which they believe could create a security loophole. The letter also suggested that if Hungary does not amend its policy, the EU should introduce new border controls to protect European citizens.

Hungary’s Foreign Minister, Péter Szijjártó, dismissed security concerns as exaggerated and based on what he called “childish lies.” He asserted that the visa and residence permit process follows Hungarian law.

The move to grant visa access came after Prime Minister Viktor Orbán traveled to Ukraine and Russia in an effort to start peace talks amid the ongoing war between the two countries. Hungary neighbors Ukraine, and hosts hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees.

Orbam later met with former President Donald J. Trump in Florida. He has previously stated that Trump will end the conflict once he is elected.

United Nations Admits At Least Nine UNRWA Staff Participated In Oct. 7 Hamas Terrorist Attack.

The United Nations (U.N.) is acknowledging that nine members of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) were likely involved in the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel. “For nine people, the evidence was sufficient to conclude that they may have been involved in the seventh of October attacks,” Farhan Haq, Deputy Spokesman for the U.N. Secretary-General, said.

At least 19 UNWRA staff members were initially accused of participating in the terrorist attacks. However, the U.N.‘s Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) has concluded, following an investigation, that only nine staffers were likely involved.

“OIOS made findings in relation to each of the 19 UNRWA staff members alleged to have been involved in the attacks,” Haq stated, adding: “In one case, no evidence was obtained by OIOS to support the allegations of the staff member’s involvement, while in nine other cases, the evidence obtained by OIOS was insufficient to support the staff member’s involvement.”

Following the Hamas attack, Israel accused UNRWA of directly employing 450 individuals tied to terrorist groups operating in Gaza. The National Pulse reported in January that Western nations donated over $8 billion to UNRWA between 2013 and 2022.

According to data compiled by UNRWA, in the ten years from 2013 to 2022, the United States gave $2,558,830,210, the European Union (EU) and its member states collectively gave $5,246,475,932, and Australia, Canada, and New Zealand gave a combined $313,429,066 to the controversial agency—a total of $8,118,735,208. 

In May, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed to have recovered U.S.-made explosive charges from a UNRWA school in  Jabalia, Gaza. Batch numbers found on the explosive charges indicated they were likely from a weapons sale the U.S. government made to Egpyt in 2007.
