‘Islamic State’ Murders Christians in Terror Attack, Killing Four.

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has strongly condemned a deadly bombing that took place in the southern city of Marawi on Sunday, attributing the violence to “foreign terrorists” in a post on X (formerly Twitter) shortly after the incident. Islamic State terrorists claimed responsibility for the attack which killed four and injured over 50.

Marawi City had previously been the site of a five-month conflict between government forces and Islamist militants in 2017. President Marcos deemed those responsible “enemies to our society.”

Security measures have been heightened in response to the explosion, particularly in the south and around the nation’s capital, Manila. According to Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro, the pursuit of the perpetrators will “continue unabated.”

Amid the continued investigations, classes at the Mindanao State University have been suspended until further notice. Security at ports and police checkpoints has been bolstered to counter any potential subsequent incidents.

Paris Terror Suspect Declared ISIS Support, Was Jailed in 2016 for Terror Offenses, But French Govt Says He Has ‘Psychiatric Disorders’.

The main suspect in Saturday’s terror attack in Paris has been named as Arman Rajabpour-Miyandoab, who was imprisoned for terror-related offenses in France in 2016, and has been in contact with multiple other Islamic terrorists, according to reports.

Rajabpour-Miyandoab, a 26-year-old French national of Iranian descent, killed one and injured another two as he screamed “Allah-hu Akbar!” this weekend. He was previously jailed for plotting a terrorist attack in the Paris’ business district of La Defense in 2016. He received a four-year sentence and lived with his parents after his release.

The suspect released a video shortly before the attack in which he declared himself a supporter of ISIS and pledged his allegiance to Caliph Abu Hafs, leader of the “Islamic State” terror faction. Rajabpour-Miyandoab confessed to launching the attack to “avenge Muslims” and said he could not watch “Arabs being killed in Afghanistan and Palestine.”

French Interior Minister Gerald Darmian told the press, “He is known to the intelligence and justice services… He had already wanted to carry out violent action but had been arrested before being able to do it.”

“He is being monitored as a person with very significant psychiatric disorders. He was also under psychiatric and neurological treatment,” Darmian added.

Before his imprisonment, Rajabpour-Miyandoab was reportedly in contact with jihadist fighters who had traveled to Syria to fight for ISIS. He allegedly also communicated with Abdoullakh Anzorov, who was responsible for beheading French teacher Samuel Paty in 2020.

Child Pneumonia Spreads in U.S. After Starting in China, GOP Senators Tell Biden to BAN Travel from China.

Massachusetts is the second U.S. state to report an increase in child pneumonia, following similar outbreaks in Ohio. A recent surge in pneumonia cases and other respiratory illnesses first began in China.

Denmark has already declared an epidemic, with the pneumonia outbreak there also linked to the Chinese surge. So far, however, health officials say they believe the spate of respiratory illnesses is nothing out of the ordinary.

Nevertheless, five GOP Senators led by Marco Rubio called on President Biden to temporarily ban travel between the United States and China as a precaution.

“We should immediately restrict travel between the United States and (China) until we know more about the dangers posed by this new illness,” said a letter signed by Rubio alongside Senators J.D. Vance, Scott, Tuberville, and Braun.

The rise in cases became a global issue last week when the World Health Organization asked China for more information, citing a report on clusters of undiagnosed pneumonia in children by the Program for Monitoring Emerging Diseases.

“This is the season for RSV and we’re seeing a whole lot of… kids with upper viral respiratory infections, cough, runny nose, some fevers,” said Mass. pediatrician Dr. John Kelly. “And the thinking with RSV is that it can cause lower viral respiratory infections, so they get spread to your lungs.”

China, too, has told the WHO it is dealing with common illnesses. Their spread is said to have been exacerbated by this being China’s first winter since Covid restrictions were fully lifted.

Germany Has Given Visas to 25 Afghani Sharia Judges.

Germany has recently accepted 25 Sharia judges from Afghanistan as part of a larger resettlement program introduced by the far-left government, which pledges to bring tens of thousands of Afghan nationals to the country. Roughly 200 family members are expected to accompany the judges to the country.

The Federal Foreign Office and Ministry of the Interior initially pledged to relocate 44,000 Afghanis to Germany last year, with the aim of prioritizing “human rights activists” and homosexuals. However, the program was quickly halted due to widespread evidence of people abusing the system.

Despite warnings and evidence from the German security services that the resettlement program was being abused by people making dubious claims or completely falsifying their identity, the scheme was quickly re-established earlier this year and has proceeded to hand out at least 3,000 visas so far.

Alongside sharia judges and identity fraudsters, the German embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan, has also received applications from Islamists and even suspected terrorists since it announced the scheme.

Germany already hosts nearly 400,000 Afghani nationals across the country, 176,000 of whom rely on state handouts to survive.

Russia Outlaws ‘International LGBT Movement’.

Russia’s Supreme Court has designated the “international LGBT movement” as an extremist group. Being tagged as “extremist” could result in hefty prison sentences for LGBT activists if they are perceived by the authorities as affiliates of the “international LGBT movement”.

Russia’s Ministry of Justice petitioned earlier this month for the “international LGBT movement” to be designated extremist. Some have criticized the broadness of the ruling. “Despite the non-existence of an actual international LGBT movement, it is evident that all legal undertakings of LGBT organizations will now be impossible in Russia,” said Igor Kochetkov, head of the Russian LGBT Network.

Earlier this year, Putin endorsed a law prohibiting “LGBT propaganda” targeting adults. This effectively criminalized activism and materials perceived as promoting “non-traditional sexual relations”. Following the ruling, Russia’s Bolshoi theatre eliminated a ballet about Russian dancer Rudolf Nureyev. Various bookstores and cinemas withdrew content featuring LGBTQ+ themes.

Similar laws “for the Purpose of Protecting Children from Information Advocating a Denial of Traditional Family Values” passed in 2013.

German Cops Arrest 2 Teens Plotting Terror Attack on Christmas Market.

German authorities arrested two teenage boys in North Rhine-Westphalia who planned to carry out a deadly terrorist attack on the Cologne Christmas market or a synagogue in the same city in an online chatroom.

The boys, one aged 15 and the other 16, are considered to be sympathizers of Islamic State (ISIS), according to authorities.

The 15-year-old is considered a “relevant person” on the Islamist scene. From the same medieval town of Wittstock in Brandenburg, he had already been on the counter-terrorist police’s radar for spreading jihadist propaganda. He carried a knife on his person when arrested on Tuesday morning.

Following the arrest, the President of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Thomas Haldenwang, told the media the danger of Islamist terrorist attacks in Germany “is real and as high as it has not been for a long time.”

This is not the first incident in which Christmas markets have been the target of terrorism, as the annual Berlin market witnessed an Islamist terrorist drive into the event’s attendees with a truck, killing 12 people and injuring dozens more in December 2016.

Milei Taps Ex Central Bank Chief as Economy Minister.

Argentina’s incoming President Javier Milei confirmed the selection of Luis Caputo – the former chief of the nation’s Central Bank – as the future Economy Minister. The announcement, made by Milei during a radio interview, is said to affirm his commitment to instituting a more market-oriented economic team in the face of Argentina’s surging inflation, running at a yearly rate of 143 percent.

Caputo previously served as finance minister and Central Bank chief during the tenure of former conservative President Mauricio Macri, overseeing a significant debt restructuring. His appointment has met opposition from Milei’s libertarian base. Since Milei’s electoral victory, Argentina’s market has responded positively, and the nation has recorded a rise in stocks and bonds accompanied by a marginal strengthening of the peso.

In addition to revealing Caputo’s appointment ahead of his Dec. 10 inauguration, Milei praised Caputo’s ability to navigate the country’s critical economic issues, such as the short-term notes known as ‘Leliqs’. Milei has publically stated his goal to “dismantle the ‘Leliqs’ ball,” which he deems as potentially instigating hyperinflation.

Just 1 in 9 Migrants Who Gang-Raped Teen Will See Prison.

Only one of nine migrant men who gang-raped a 15-year-old girl in the German city of Hamburg in 2020 has been sentenced to prison, with the rest having received suspended sentences, allowing them to walk free after their conviction. The only one to be imprisoned received just two years and nine months.

The men, who have a wide range of backgrounds including German, Armenian, Afghan, Kuwaiti, and Montenegrin, took advantage of a drunk teenage girl in a Hamburg park during the height of the Coronavirus pandemic by leading her into a bush and taking turns to rape her over two and a half hours, while also videoing the incident.

One of the rapists also stole the girl’s phone and purse. Sperm from the nine men was found on the girl’s body shortly after the incident.

The trial began in May last year, with the court hearing 96 witnesses and experts.

“This was a mammoth-circumstantial process in which it was not clear for a long time what would happen on the night of the 19th to the 20th. September 2020,” explained the trial’s leading justice, Anne Meier-Göring.

“European girls are fair game. Sold out by our establishments,” vented Dutch philosopher and conservative commentator Eva Vlaadingerbroek following the court’s decision.

Putin Tells Russians To Have 8+ Kids Amidst Population Crisis.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has recommended that women have eight or more children in an effort to offset the looming population crisis the country faces, caused by casualties suffered in the Ukrainian war as well as abortion.

Putin, who has two daughters, made the announcement at the World Russian People’s Council in Moscow on Tuesday, in which he explained the Russian people has [sic] to return to a time when larger families were the societal norm.

“Many of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers, had seven, eight, or even more children,” he stated. “Let us preserve and revive these excellent traditions. Large families must become the norm, a way of life for all of Russia’s people. The family is not just the foundation of the state and society, it is a spiritual phenomenon, a source of morality.”

“Preserving and increasing the population of Russia is our goal for the coming decades and even generations ahead. This is the future of the Russian world, the millennium-old, eternal Russia,” Putin continued.

Russia, like many other Western countries, is suffering from low birth rates, at around 1.5 per woman – far below the required 2.1 to maintain its current population. It also has extremely high rates of abortion, regularly above half a million  per year. Yet, those figures represent an improvement compared to the beginning of the century in which there were an estimated 2.1 million abortions per year.

Worse still, Western estimates place the number of casualties caused by the War in Ukraine at around 325,000 as of late November.
