VIDEO: Latest on Bondi Beach terrorists, suspicions confirmed

It's just past 1400 FMT. Here's the latest information we have on the terrorists -- so described by the Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister of Australia -- responsible for the atrocity at Bondi Beach, near Sydney NSW, today. (Scroll down for our initial report, with video.) 

New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon told the meeja a couple of hours ago that the investigation into the shooting has "progressed" overnight and confirms officers aren't looking for a further gunman. He said the two shooters involved were a father and son aged 50 and 24. The father died at the scene -- apparently shot by police -- while the son remains in hospital in critical condition.

In response to questions from journos, Insp. Lanyon said the "50-year-old male" (he said "father" only once) was a licenced firearms holder and had six firearms linked to him. The cops think those six firearms were used in the "offences" on Bondi Beach, he said, adding that he vows to investigate the matter thoroughly. 

Oh really? When asked whether the two shooters were known to the police and whether he will comment on reports that a black ISIS flag was found at the scene, the inspector said he wouldn't go into specifics or speculation. "We will look at the motives behind this attack and I think it is important as part of the investigation," he said, adding that there was no indication suggesting that either of the men involved in yesterday's shooting was planning the attack.

On really? Are we to believe that they just happened to be carrying six (count `em, 6) firearms -- as well as two "active improved devices"! -- as they went to see the Jews celebrate Hannukah on the world-famous beach? 

When asked for the names of the perps, which must have been known to the police in order to obtain search warrants and find out about the firearm licences, Inspector Lanyon declined to answer, saying that was part of the investigation.

But... woops!!!... someone said the quiet part out loud. Listen carefully.

For those who couldn't quite understand the bingo-caller's accent, here's the name and the sources. The Jerusalem Post reported that the 24-year-old, whose name is Naveed Akram is a Muslim man of Pakistani origin, who had studied at Central Queensland University in Sydney. He was also previously associated with Hamdard University in Islamabad and the Al Murad Institute. 

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), citing a law enforcement source, said Mr Akram was a resident of Sydney's south-western suburb of Bonnyrigg. Police raided his home on Sunday evening as part of the investigation. According to the Daily Mail, the Akram family has owned the Bonnyrigg property for about a year.

I think that's enough for us to run, once again, the same old South Park meme.

Walt wishes (Don't you?) that the two non-Christian Abrahamic religions would confine their wars of extremination to their own turf... say no more than 1000 miles from Armageddon.

BREAKING! "Allahu akbar!" in Australia? VIDEO

It's way to early on a Sunday morning for me to deal with this. The mojo wire is spitting oud disturbing news from the Land of Oz. New South Wales Police say 11 people have been killed in a shooting at Bondi Beach targeting the Jewish community. 29, including a child, have been taken to hospital. 

Over 1000 people had gathered at the famous beach for a celebration marking the start of Hanukkah. One of the shooters was fatally shot by police and another was arrested after having been tackled by a bystander. Yes, we have video!

It's likely they were the gunmen were... errr... not Jews. So what were they, then? Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called an act of antisemitism and terrorism. He did not use words beginning with "M" or "I". Ed. put a question mark in the headline because we know what you're thinking. Prove us wrong!

Your Singhs today: "We're not gangstas; we're refugees!"

Walt resents suggestions that he thinks all Sikhs are actual or potential criminals and detriments to Canadian society. There are good people and bad people in every ethnic group, and of course there are good Sikhs trying to make better lives for themselves in Canada and the USA than they good have had back home in "Khalistan".

Sikhs can be not just the perpetrators but victims of brown crime. This coming Sunday, three Canadian Sikh organizations will hold a town hall meeting in Surrey BC to discuss "Indian transnational repression and extortion", which they say has reached "crisis level". In a poster promoting the event, the organizers say "Families, businesses, and community members are facing intimidation, threats, and violence that no Canadian should ever experience."

Who are the criminals terrorizing Sikhs, you might ask. The answer is, other Indians of a different religious persuasion... or none at all. Over a year ago, the RCMP warned that Indian government agents -- including diplomatic and consular officials -- were involved in "serious criminal activity in Canada", including extortion. But, in spite of the Liberal government's push to mend fences with India, the latter refuses to acknowledge its alleged role in violent crimes, never mind promising to stop.

Investigations into the extortions of  "South Asian" business owners in BC's Lower Mainland, Brampton ON and Edmonton AB, have led to several arrests and charges. Indian crime groups such as the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which Canada listed as a terrorist group in September, have been demanding exorbitant payoffs from business owners and others. After threatening victims by phone, gang leaders in India will then send local foot soldiers to conduct arsons and shootings to pressure them to pay up. 

The obvious way to put a stop to the criminality in the Indo-Canadian community [sic] would be to deport the criminals. But there's a small problem -- Canada's ridiculously liberal policies on asylum-seekers and "refugees".

Last September, the British Columbia government formed an extortion task force, led by the Mounties and immigration officers, to tackle "organized-crime activity involved in extortion-related threats." It is led by the RCMP and composed of police and immigration officers. As of last week, the Canadian Border Services Agency had opened 96 investigations into foreigners identified by the task force. Then this happened.

Here's the problem in graphic form.  11 of the ciminals were found to be in "non-compliance" -- not in Canada legally -- and were issued removal orders. Surprisingly, 5 of those were actually deported. 14 other individuals who attracted attention from the task force were referred to the Refugee Protection Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board, which stops the deportation process dead. 

Their cases are now on hold until the IRB decides what to do with them. A spokesthingy for the IRB told Canada's Global TV News he would not comment further on the matter. Nor would he respond when asked if all were citizens of India. 

The vice-chair of immigration at the Canadian Bar Association’s BC branch, whose name is Amandeep Hayer (no relation), said the suspects' alleged involvement in crime could still be raised during their refugee hearings, and the IRB could... maybe... possibly... reject their claims for asylum on the grounds they are inadmissible to Canada for criminality.

Meanwhile, according to Vancouver immigration lawyer Richard Kurland, the "suspects" have succeeded in delaying their deportations for years. Mr Kurland blamed a backlog of refugee cases, "because Ottawa refuses to resource the IRB to provide expeditious hearings to prevent four-year waits. They just bought four years in Canada, with subsidized health. If they want to go to school, that’s subsidized, and if they need public assistance, that's subsidized by the taxpayer."

O Cana-duh!

VIDEO: Canadiens hockey quiz

by Poor Len Canayen, National Sports Editor

Question: What does Jacob Fowler, the Montréal Canadiens hot rookie goaltender, have in common with Habs Hall of Fame* all-star goalies Ken Dryden, Patrick Roy, and Carey Price?

Ummmm... Can we have a clue? Who's Jacob Fowler? Ed.

Try to keep up, Hed! Jacob Fowler (born 24 November 2004) is an American professional hockey player who tends goal for la Sainte Flannelle. He was selected by the Habs in the third round, 69th overall, in the 2023 NHL entry draft, and played his first regular season game last night in the Canadiens' 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Here are the RDS video highlights.

Answer: Last night Jacob Fowler became the fourth Habs goalie to play and win his first NHL game in Pittsburgh. His predecessors were Ken Dryden, Patrick Roy, and Carey Price, all of whom went on to become superstars. 

*OK, unlike Dryden and Roy, Price never had his name inscribed on the Stanley Cup, and has not yet been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. But next year he's a sure-fire bet to be elected to the HHOF, on the first round of voting. For sure!

Tired of seeing those BLM graffiti?

Your Singhs today (not your typical Sikh trucker)

Not all of the many Sikhs appearing before His Majesty's courts in the Canadian province of Ontario are involved in drug smuggling or the dangerous driving of 18-wheelers. Some of them have other... errr... vocations. 

Police in Guelph ON say a man responsible for stealing more than C$300,000 ($215,000 in real money) worth of products from Liquor Control Board of Ontario stores across the province has been sentenced to five years in prison. 

A statement released yesterday says that in May of 2024, Guelph Police officers, along with LCBO officials, "identified a suspect believed to have committed more than 100 thefts from LCBO stores…including 10 in Guelph."

A spokesthingy for the cops told the Wellington Advertiser the list included a $600 theft from the Fergus LCBO in March 2023. Police say officers tracked the suspect to St. Catharines, where he was found sleeping in a stolen vehicle that was used in some of the crimes. "With assistance from members of the Niagara Regional Police Service the vehicle was blocked in," stated the press release. "The man was awakened but rammed several cruisers in an attempt to flee before he was finally arrested."

The man, now identified as Davinder Singh (not exactly as pictured), 28, of no fixed address. (The truck isn't "fixed", you see. Geddit?) He pled guilty in Guelph court to a long list of charges, including vehicle theft, dangerous driving, assault with a weapon and several counts of theft over $5000. He will spend the next five years (or less) of his life as His Majesty's guest (read: at taxpayers' expense). Whether he will be deported after his release is not clear.

Note from Ed.: For some reason, Canada's larger media outlets, such as the state-owned Canadian Broadcorping Castration, did not disclose the name of the perp. We are grateful to small local papers, like the Wellington Advertiser, for having the courage to confirm what everyone suspected.

VIDEO: "Making a Killing" - documentary on the residential schools hoax

If you watched Michael Matt's video on the Canadian Residential Schools Hoax, posted here earlier today, you may have noticed an image of the title screen for the documentary, "Making a Killing", produced by the OneBC Caucus and released on December 2nd. Walt is pleased to be able to bring this to you today. 

The subtitle of the full-length film is "Reconciliation, Genocide, and Plunder in Canada". It exposes the massive scandal behind the taking of wealth, land, and power from the Canadian public to benefit indigenous tribes. 

It debunks the worst lie in Canadian history: the lie that 215 bodies were found at the Kamloops Residential School and that Canadians committed a mass murder against indigenous children.

"Making a Killing" is the first documentary film produced by an elected caucus. To find out about OneBC -- a British Columbia party on the right side of many issues (geddit?) -- click here to visit their home page. If you decide to join or support them, tell `em Walt sent ya!
