"Allahu akbar!" in Vienna: Islamic terrorist kills four before shot dead

Walt didn't hurry to post this story yesterday, when it broke, because it would be embarrassing to cast suspicion on Muslims, only to have the attackers turn out to be, errr, non-Muslim, twice in one week. So I waited until my suspicions were confirmed.

Yes, it's another terrorist attack on innocent civilians. This time it happened in Vienna, the civilized and delightful capital city of Austria, where Islamic extremists rampaged through the entertainment district on Monday night, killing four people. One of the attackers was shot dead by police, but a personhunt [the PC term for "manhunt". Ed.] is on for others. 

After the customary dithering over whether to utter words like "Islamic" or "Muslim", the polizei identified the Muslim who is now in Paradise being serviced by 72 virgins. He was 20-year-old Kujtim Fejzulai, a dual citizen of Austrian and North Macedonia [Where dat? Ed.], seen in this selfie taken shortly before the attack.

In April of 2019, he was sentenced to 22 months in prison for trying to travel to Syria to join ISIS. He was released in December because, hey, he was just a juvenile. Boys will be boys.

Dressed in white coveralls and armed with an automatic rifle and a fake explosive vest, the late Mr Fejzulai ran through Vienna's cobblestone streets, firing off bursts at random. Two men and two women died from their injuries. A police officer who tried to get in the way of the attacker was shot and wounded, and another 14 people were wounded.

Chancellor Sebastian Kurz told the meeja, "It is now confirmed that yesterday's attack was clearly an Islamist terror attack," Kurz said. "It was an attack out of hatred -- hatred for our fundamental values, hatred for our way of life, hatred for our democracy in which all people have equal rights and dignity." Note: not "Western values" or "Christian values", just "fundamental values". But at least he called out Islamism.

Anti-immigrant party tops polls in Czech election

Liberals, "progressives", Democrats, one-worlders and bleeding hearts take note! The anti-immigrant (more specifically, anti-Muslim immigrant backlash) is sweeping over Europe! Last week saw the victory in the Austrian parliamentary elections of Sebastian Kurz's rightist People's Party (ÖVP) and the even more populist Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) led by Heinz-Christian Strache. As Walt told you in "Anti-immigrant Austrian voters won't be denied this time!", the ÖVP and FPÖ look set to form a coalition determined to keep the Muslim hordes out of the land of the edelweiss.

Today comes more good news, this time from the neighbouring Czech Republic (aka "Czechia" -- the western part of the Czechoslovakia that was), where the ANO party led by the populist billionaire Andrej Babiš, has topped the polls in elections to the national legislature. Mr Babiš, sometimes described as "the Czech Donald Trump" (he's even more wealthy than the Donald!), turned the former movement "Action of Dissatisfied Citizens" (Czech: "Akce nespokojených občanů", ANO) into a political party in 2011. "Ano" means "yes" in Czech.

Isn't "Action of Dissatisfied Citizens" a great name? Makes you want to join up right now, doesn't it?! The slogan "Bude lip!", means "It will be better!"

Mr Babiš succeeded in giving a powerful voice to the millions of Czechs who oppose the European Union's forced relocation of "refugees" and asylum-seekers to their country. Speaking on the importance of national heritage, Mr Babiš said, "The biggest added value of the European Union is the national identity of each country. We have to fight for what our ancestors built here. If there will be more Muslims than Belgians in Brussels, that' their problem. I don't want that here. They won't be telling us who should live here!"

Today, with counting 99% complete, the ANO is reported to have attracted nearly 30% of the vote, a significant proportion given that the largest party in the last election (2013) -- the Social Democrats -- placed first with just 20.45%. This time the socialists got just 7.7% of othe vote, putting them in sixth place.

In second place, with 11.31% last count, is the former giant of Czech politics, the centrist Civic Democratic Party. Behind them in third is the leftish Pirate Party (seriously!) at 10.78%. Close on their heels, in fourth place with 10.64%, is the Freedom and Direct Democracy Party. Their Eurosceptic stand against Islamization and mass migration should make them natural partners in an ANO-led coalition.

Germany, Austria and now the Czech Republic. Which country is next? Which people will be the next to rise up in defiance of the New World Order? Stay tuned!

Anti-immigrant Austrian voters won't be denied this time!

The last time I wrote at length about Austrian politics was in the middle of 2016, when a conspiracy of the mainstream parties robbed the right-wing populist Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) of victory in that country's presidential election. On 1 July 2016 the Constitutional Court ruled that there had been some "irregularities" and ordered a do-over. The result was a clear(er) win for the pro-EU former Greenie Alexander Van der Bellen.

The liberal meeja were all cock-a-hoop over the defeat of FPÖ leader Norbert Hofer, saying that Austrian voters had "decisively rejected the possibility of the EU getting its first far-right head of state, instead electing a former leader of the Green party who said he would be an 'open-minded, liberal-minded and above all a pro-European president'." (The Grauniad, 4/12/16) All very well, but liberals and one-worlders lost sight of the fact that the presidency of Austria is a ceremonial position. The president is just a figurehead. Real power lies with the Austrian parliament.

Today, Austrians voted in a general election in which the main issue was immigration. Overwhelmingly negative public sentiment has forced even the mainstream political parties to call for tougher immigration policies, and the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) is expected to increase its representation in parliament significantly.

The frontrunner, according to the latest polls, is the conservative People's Party (ÖVP), led by 31-year-old Sebastian Kurz, another selfie-loving glamour boy in the mold of Canada's Trudeau or France's Macron. Herr Kurz seems likely to become the next chancellor (= prime minister) of a coalition government in which his party will be joined by... wait for it... the FPÖ! The Social Democrats, who were the junior partners with the ÖVP in the last government, will challenge the FPÖ for second place, but even if they finish second, the ÖVP will have little choice (because of the immigration issue) but to work with the FPÖ, leaving the liberals in opposition.

Immigration has been a dominant issue in the campaign, and the election comes amid anxiety in Austria (and Europe as a whole) over the huge influx of illegal migrants, "refugees" and asylum-seekers which fuelled an electoral breakthrough by the AfD (Alternativ für Deutschland)in neighbouring Germany last month. See "German election results 'a political earthquake'", WWW 24/9/17.

Since the beginning of the refugee crisis in 2015, the political landscape of Austria has shifted to the right. Just how far it has shifted should be known in the next six hours. Stay tuned.
