Your Sikhs today: Old Halifax druggie tries to murder his mother

Pictured above -- the one on the left -- is 58-year-old Satrajpal Singh Rai, a resident of Halifax NS, who seems to have problems with mind-altering substances and (perhaps) something of an Oedipus complex. He was convicted this week of attempting to murder his elderly mother by attacking her with a machete.

Mr Rai was held in custody since he was arrested just inside the door of a South Park Street apartment on 3 April 2024. When apprehanded shortly after midnight, he still had the machete in his hands, and his 80-year-old mother was on the hallway floor, covered in blood. Harbhajan Rai was so badly injured that responding officers at first thought she was dead. 

Mr Rai was charged with attempted murder, which, like murder requires a specific intent to kill. At his trial last year, the accused testified at trial last year that he was too impaired by cocaine and cannabis to be able to form that intent. Rather unusual for someone who was 56 years old at the time.

He conceded that he attacked his mother but said that at the time, he thought he was fending off a demonic being or entity that wanted to hurt him. He hadn't slept in three days, he said, and was lying on his mother’s bed when he heard voices outside the bedroom. When he rolled over, he saw the entity standing beside him holding a machete. 

But wait (as Vince Offer used to say), it gets better [or worse. Ed.] He said the entity had hair like Medusa, reptilian skin and yellow fangs for teeth. No wonder he didn’t recognize it was his mother! Mr Rai said the entity asked him a series of questions and he could not make out who it was. Fearing for his life, he said he grabbed the machete and began swinging.

He recalled moving into the hallway, falling down and scrambling to get up in fear that he would be killed. He told the court that he was yelling for help and trying to get to the door. He indicated that he was able to open the door, but that it started to swing closed. He then observed the police burst through the door. 

On cross-examination, Mr Rai admitted that as he swung the machete at the entity, which he now knows was his mother, he said, "Just die!" over and over again, like the alien in Independence Day. The Crown introduced evidence that about half an-hour before the assault, Mr Rai sent a text to his ex-wife in Dartmouth that said, "Pray for me and my mother." At trial, he swore that the text did not have a violent meaning but was just a request to pray that he and his mother would get through the worst of her schizophrenic conditions.

Judge Chris Manning said, "Mr Rai is indeed fortunate that the police arrived no later than they did, and a brilliant trauma team was assembled to save Mrs Rai’s life," said Hizzoner. The accused was the primary caregiver for his mother, who suffers from dementia, schizophrenia and memory loss. "She was the victim of a horrendous, brutal attack committed by her son...in the apartment that they shared. He utilized a machete, and the savagery and force ...resulted in massive injuries, including deep lacerations to her head and body, fractured bones, loss of teeth, and fingers were cut from her hands."

The judge stopped just short of calling bullshit on Mr Rai's defence, and found the drug-addled Sikh guilty of attempted murder, aggravated assault and assault with a weapon. He was sentenced only on the attempted murder charge. Mr Rai expressed remorse for his actions in his presentence report and in his plea to the court. The judge thought a sentence of 18-years in prison sentence would adequately address denunciation and deterrence while not losing sight of the possibility of rehabilitation. [sic!]

He deducted 1203 days as credit for remand time, leaving Mr Rai with a net sentence of about 14 years and 8.5 months before he can become, once again, the kind of citizen (or at least resident) which the Liberal government thinks make Canada a better place. As Emperor Trudeau II famously said, "Diversity is our strength".

If she's lucky, Mrs Rai will be 96 when her son gets out. No worries until then.

In the meantime, our friend Johnny Canuck would like to know: How did a drug-user like Mr Singh Rai and his aged and infirm mother get into Canada? As a "temporary foreign student" perhaps? Or a "temporary foreign worker"? Or maybe a "refugee" or asylum-seeker? How long have these parasites been in Canuckistan? Who supports them? No prizes for guessing the answer to the last question.

Your Sikhs today - Brampton ON edition

This just in from beautiful Brampton ON, the capital of Free Khalistan. 

Five men have been charged following a fight involving multiple tow truck operators in Brampton that resulted in three people being hit by a metal pole. The incident happened last Hallowe'en in the area of Kennedy Road South and Orenda Road. When officers arrived, they found three people who had been attacked with a metal pole. Two of those were also allegedly assaulted with bear spray. 

In a news release today, Peel Regional Police announced the arrest of five men in connection with the incident. They’ve been identified as 27-year-old Rishav Chopra, 34-year-old Jashandeep Singh, 27-year-old Harmandeep Singh, 20-year-old Tajinder Chopra and 32-year-old Varun Aul. 

Note from Ed.: Any resemblance between the Singhs and Chopras charged today and the Singhs and Chopras shown in the photos is purely coincidental. We just searched Google for "Singh+tow truck".

Tajinder Chopra has been charged with uttering threats to cause bodily harm or death, assault, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, two counts of assault causing bodily harm and two counts of administering a noxious thing with intent to cause bodily harm. Jashandeep Singh is facing charges of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm and three counts of assault with a weapon. The other three have each been charged with assault. 

The Peelers said all the suspects were released immediately aafter their arrest on an "undertaking with conditions", including not leaving Canada on the next flight to India. That, right there, tells you all you need to know about the immigration and justice "systems" of the Great No-longer-white North.

VIDEO: Your Sikhs today - Caledon & Dufferin County ON edition

Dr A.I. Google tells us that the Harman Group (HGC), headquartered in Caledon ON -- the town to the north of Brampton ON, headquarters of the infamous Singh School of Truck Driving -- is a large, family-run [read: Sikh clan] logistics and trucking company specializing in North American cold chain (refrigerated) and dry freight transport, including cross-border to the United States and Mexico.

The HGB website proudly proclaims: "We have always specialized in temperature control goods such as produce, chocolates, meats, pharmaceuticals, etc. We are proud to service our customers door to door throughout Canada, United States and Mexico." The emphasis is Walt's.

Dr Google adds that the Harman Group has had considerable media attention recently for being targeted involved in suspected extortion incidents. "Like what?", Walt hears you ask. Well, just this past week the mayor of Caledon told the meeja she was worried after "a local business" -- that's what she and the lickspittle meeja called HGC -- was shot at for the second time in two weeks. Thanks to "X", we have video!

The Ontario Provincial Police say the shooting could be related to an ongoing series of extortions in the area. They were called to the same location around 0100 on 26 December for a "targeted" shooting in front of the business. No injuries were reported. No one was hurt in this latest incident, which investigators are also calling "targeted". 

Their post on "X" says there have been >45 extortion investigations in the area since 2023. These crimes appear to follow a "pattern of extortion" where victims in Caledon and Dufferin County receive phone calls or text messages threatening violence against them, unless a large quantity of money is handed over. "The callers often demonstrate knowledge of the individual’s home or workplace and the offences appear targeted toward members of the South-Asian community."

Throughout 2024 and 2025, the OPP have investigated numerous weapons incidents where several properties in the Caledon and Dufferin County areas were damaged by gunfire. "(We) believe these shootings are linked to threatening communications and extortion attempts," he said. Walt sez: Ya think?

Your Singhs... errr, no... Muslims today (Greater Toronto edition)

Apparently not all the criminals of a non-white hue infesting the western part of the Greater Toronto Area (i.e. Brampton and Mississauga ON) are Sikhs. Agent 3 has just sent us a video (not worth posting here) of a presser given by the Peel Regional Police’s Central Robbery Bureau patting themselves on the back for taking down an organized criminal network responsible for more than 15 violent home invasions involving high-end vehicle and jewellery thefts across the GTA.

197 charges have been laid. The total value of stolen property is estimated at $1.8 million (about $1.3 million in real money).13 men, including five yoofs, were arrested. Here's the rogues gallery.

We're lucky to have this. It was quickly scrubbed from the cops' police blotter and from the stories on CTV News and CP24. I can't imagine why. Can you? Ed. found it elsewhere. Well done! If you can't read the names, scroll down for the lsit.

In their press release, the Peelers said that Project Ghost, as the Peelers call it, was initiated when a criminal network was identified to be connected to the following violent incidents: 

* On Aug. 1, 2024, at about 2:45 a.m., three suspects attempted to break into a home on Maybeck Drive in Brampton after targeting a BMW parked in the driveway. The suspects fled in a white Acura after failing to gain entry. About 30 minutes later, the same suspects broke into a Boathouse Road home and demanded keys to a Mercedes-Benz. Though the victims complied, three were stabbed – one critically, with a wound narrowly missing his heart. The suspects fled in the white Acura. Two were arrested after surveillance, and a third was later arrested with stolen property recovered following a search warrant. 

* On Sept. 10, the driver of a Lamborghini was shot and seriously injured in a targeted attack in Mississauga. Two suspects were arrested and charged with attempted murder. The project was able to link the shooting and home invasions to the same criminal group, along with other home invasions and luxury vehicle and jewelry thefts across Peel and Halton. 

Evidence from seized phones and an accused’s statement connected the network to 13 additional incidents and identified the culprits involved. As a result, the following men and youth have been arrested and charged with a total of 197 criminal charges related to organized crime, robbery, attempted murder, firearms and more. Here's the list of the accused, who of course are presumed innocent.

From Mississauga: Muhammad Munzir Sultan (21) Ounali Hussain (25) Muhammad Raed Abbasi (20) Mirza Arfeen Baig (22) Melad Barghouthi (24) Mustafa Alabd (20) Young Person (16) 

From Toronto: Arbaaz Amir (22) Ngor Neli Deng Akuk Ngor (20) Young Person (17) 

From Brampton:  Young Person (15) Young Person (16) Young Person (16) 

The accused were held for a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton, at which five of them walked back out through the revolving door. So don't leave your fancy cars out on the driveway, or leave your doors unlocked, just yet. We post this story as a public service. You're welcome!

UPDATED: "Allahu akbar!" in Germany, again?

Walt had no sooner posted "Fasching season cancelled in Munich for fear of another Muslim attack" (see below), when the mojo wire spat out news of... wait for it... another Muslim attack!

In Mannheim, in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, die Polizei have arrested a man, so far unidentified, who "allegedly" [as they always say. Ed.] drove a black SUV into a crowd of people this morning, seriously injuring many, including one who was possibly killed.

Police have ordered the public to keep away from the area shown in the picture above, near Mannheim's city centre. A local newspaper spoke of a "rampage" by the alleged driver and of at least one fatality. The Stuttgarter Zeitung reports that "debris was visible at the scene and at least one person was lying covered under a tarpaulin."

Die Rheinpfalz notes that officers "confirm rampage" and that one person has died. No further information has been made public yet, but Bild states police sources say the death toll has risen to two, and that 25 are injured. Frankfurter Runschau states University Hospital Mannheim has been activated, with trauma teams set up to deal with a "mass event".

Police have yet to make any comment on the cause of this incident or whether there is any known motive. Readers will forgive us, I think, for jumping to the usual conclusion. As I said in the previous post, the driving of vehicles at high speeds into crowds is something that has become all too familiar in German cities recently. There's no denying that adherents of "the Religion of Peace" are engaging in jihad -- a holy war against us "infidels"!

UPDATE added 4/3/25: According to media reports, the perpetrator of the Mannheim atrocity is Alexander S. from Ludwigshafen. He only posted dog videos and a video of a street artist painting over swastikas. 

He did not share any political content on his Facebook page, so it's difficult to attribute any ideology to him. One can't say that he's a jihadi. So also, one can't he isn't a jihadi. Perhaps we'll learn more if he faces trial, instead of being confined to a mental institution to avoid embarrassment of the authorities. Stay tuned.

"Project 24K" proves Greater Toronto a really multicultural city

Today, 17 April 2024, is the first anniversary of the Great YYZ Gold Heist. (Regular readers will know that YYZ is the airport code for Toronto's Pearson airport.) This was the largest theft of gold in Canadian history, and possibly the sixth-largest in the history of the world. Here's a CCTV image of (police say) the robbery in progress.

According to the Peel Regional Police, the take was 6,600 gold bars, valued at over C$20 million ($14.5 million in real money) and roughlyC$2.5 million in folding money. The gold and currency was ordered from a refinery in Zurich, Switzerland, then transported in a container through an Air Canada flight that landed at YYZ at 1556.EDT.

The cargo was then offloaded to an Air Canada cargo facility, where, a couple of hours later, a suspect arrived at the facility with a "fraudulent airway bill...for a legitimate shipment of seafood that was picked up the day before." A police spokesthingy told the meeja today, "This duplicate airway bill was printed off from a printer within an Air Canada cargo facility." 

Shortly thereafter, a forklift arrived with a container of gold and foreign currency and was loaded into the rear of the suspect’s truck. He then hauled ass with the haul. [You're not quoting the copper, right? Ed.] Almost six hours after the plane landed, Brink’s Canada employees arrived at the Air Canada cargo site to collect up the shipment of gold and currency, only to be told it had already been picked up. Everyone had a good think overnight, and called the cops the next morning.

An investigation dubbed "Project 24K" was launched right away... kind of... and has now identified nine suspects, who have been arrested, charged or had Canada-wide warrants issued against them. Let's see who they are.

Durante King-Mclean, a 25-year-old resident of Brampton ON, has been identified as the driver who allegedly stole the cargo from the airport. It was his bad luck to be stopped last September by a Pennsylvania state trooper, who found dozens of illegal firearms inside his rented car. 

Police say the driver ran away but was arrested shortly after. He appeared to be illegally in the United States, and when they checked him on the police database, it flagged him as wanted by Peel police. 

When troopers opened the Nissan’s trunk, they didn’t find gold bars, but 65 guns instead, that were destined to be smuggled into Canada, according to an indictment filed in the US of A. Besides the guns, American investigators found messages between King-Mclean and Prasath Paramalingam, 35, another Bramptonian. Paramalingam sent King-Mclean a photograph of large amounts of Canadian currency wrapped in stacks with rubber bands. 

Paramalingam and another unnamed person from Toronto flew from Toronto to New York City to deliver money to King-Mclean. Five days later, Paramalingam flew back to Toronto via Miami. King-Mclean stayed in Fort Lauderdale, where he allegedly took several photos of guns and large amounts of real money. He left Florida in August 2023 in a rental vehicle and drove north. That's when he was stopped just outside Washington DC by Pennsylvania state troopers. 

In today's presser, Peel police named nine people identified and/or charged as a result of  Project 24K. Arrested in Canada were: 

Parmpal Sidhu, 54, of Brampton [Again? Ed.] who was named as an Air Canada employee. He is charged with theft over $5,000 and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence; 

Amit Jalota, 40, from Oakville, charged with possession of property obtained by crime, theft over $5,000, and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence; 

Ammad Chaudhary, 43, from Georgetown, charged with accessory after the fact; 

Ali Raza, a 37-year-old jewelry store owner from Toronto, charged with possession of property obtained by crime; and 

Prasath Paramalingam, charged with accessory after the fact.

Durante King-Mclean, the alleged getaway driver, is formally listed as wanted by Peel police, although he is in custody in the United States.

Peel police are also searching for:

Simran Preet Panesar, a 31-year-old Brampton man who was an Air Canada employee at the time of the theft but resigned after the heist. He is wanted for theft over $5,000 and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.

Archit Grover, 36, from Brampton, pictured at right [Sorry, Walt, this is the only photo I could find. Ed.] is considered a fugitive in Canada and the United States. In Canada. He is wanted for theft over $5,000 and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence. In the US. he is accused of helping King-Mclean after his roadside arrest and hindering the investigation, including removing possible evidence from the Floridea Airbnb where King-Mclean stayed, and arranging a $1000 payment to the car rental agency for an amended rental agreement. 

Arsalan Chaudhary, 42, from Mississauga, wanted for theft over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime and conspiracy to commit and indictable offence.

Reading through that list of names, Walt is struck by the apparent ethnicity of the suspects. Not an Irishman among them! With the exception of "Jimmy" Durante King-Mclean, they all appear to be... errr... south Asian. Paramalingam is a Lankan name. The rest are probably Indians, some of them Sikhs. By their turbans ye shall know them, and large numbers of them work in and around Pearson Airport.

I mention this because I'm reminded of Project Kraken, about which I wrote in "'Project Kraken' proves Greater Toronto a really multicultural city", WWW 29/6/19 -- one of our most-read articles. Project Kraken had to do with drugs and guns. I've asked Ed. to find out if any of the same names appear in the list of those charged in that case, but he hasn't got back to me yet. [Don't hold your breath. Our readers got the point already. Ed.]

Speaking (or NOT speaking) of black crime...

In "What the mainstream media don't like to report" (WWW 23/10/22) Walt gave an example (passed along by Agent 3) of how the lickspittle media turn a colour-blind eye to crimes committed by members of the so-called Black Community.

In the Greater [sic] Toronto Area, everyone knows that the majority of violent crimes in certain localities is committed by Persons of (Black) Colour. Yet the legacy newspapers and TV stations omit the names and/or pictures of the accused, so as not to feed the politically incorrect stereotype. 

Toronto, like most large North American conurbations, has problems other than murder, rape and armed robbery. Chief among its crime problems is the trafficking in drugs, which ties in with guns and gangs. At the street level -- the gang level -- lots of the perps are black. But when you go up a little higher, the diversity on which Toronto prides itself is more evident. The blacks may provide the brawn, but people of other hues provide the brains.

In the interest of fairness, then, Agent 3 suggests that we publicize a report from Hamilton ON station CHCH-TV, whose website headlines it "Peel police make biggest bust in force's history with over $25M worth of drugs seized". (Peel Region, mentioned as well in our earlier post, is the suburban sprawl immediatelyn west of Toronto.)

Here's the nub of the story. "Members of Peel Regional Police's Specialized Enforcement Bureau joined forces with U.S. Homeland Security to bring down an international drug trafficking enterprise and seized the largest quantity of illegal drugs in the force’s history. The investigation called 'Project Zucaritas' lasted for 11 months and resulted in the seizure of over $25 million worth of drugs."

Now we come to the part about race. "The 11-month investigation identified several group members at various levels of the organization:

Khalilullah Amin, 46-year-old man from Caledon has been charged with two counts of trafficking in controlled substances.

Jaspreet Singh, 28-year-old man from Brampton has been charged with one count of trafficking in a controlled substance, and one count of possession of property obtained by crime.

Wray Ip, 27-year-old man from Richmond Hill has been charged with four counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Ravinder Boparai, 27-year-old man from Mississauga has been charged with one count of possession of property obtained by crime, and one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Gurdeep Gakhal, 38-year-old man from Caledon has been charged with one count of trafficking in a controlled substance."

Oh... The names (which we applaud CHCH for publishing) don't tell you anything? You think maybe those guys might be Irish? Here are the mug shots, courtesy of the Peelers. (British readers will get that.)

How's that for a  nice diverse group. Looks to me like one Muslim (Idi Amin's cousin?), one Chinese, and three Indians, including at least one Sikh. Coincidentally, statistics from the 2021 census of Canuckistan, released today, showed that the majority of immigrants in recent years come from those very same Asian communities. As Just In Trudeau would say, "Quelle surprise!"

The report continues: "Investigators have also identified two transfer hubs allegedly involved in the distribution of illicit drugs:

North King Logistics, a commercial trucking company located at 50 Steeles Ave. in Milton.

Friend Furniture, a business located at 2835 Argentia Rd. in Mississauga."

Milton ON has in recent years become the new home of 1000s of Muslims from the Mid-East and South Asia. Argentia Road, in the notheastern quadrant of Mississauga ON, around Toronto's main airport, has for decades been populated mainly by south Asians of the Sikh persuasion.

This is not just a Canadian problem. The report concludes: "To disrupt and dismantle this group, SEB liaised with the U.S. Homeland Security Investigations in Detroit and Chicago, and Border Enforcement Security Task Force in Buffalo."

The fact that Detroit, Chicago and Buffalo have large black populations is irrelevant, as is the fact that all three cities have been run for decades by fairly elected Democrats.

UPDATED: If Canadians are Islamophobic, perhaps there's a reason

The Canadian mania for self-flagellation ["Is that a sin, Father?" Ed.] continued last week with back-to-back conferences on anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, which, as everyone knows, are hard-wired into all "old stock" (read: white Christian) Canucks.

Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, MVS (Master of Virtue Signalling) told a "national summit on Islamophobia" on Friday that "government agencies need to do more to help end the problem." Canadians [as well as Americans! Ed.] cringe when they hear words like that. "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you," is one of the Three Greatest Lies in the English language.

What does Blackie McBlackface have in mind? This, for starters. Now that the Americans are admitting defeat and getting out of Afghanistan, there are 1000s of Afghans who collaborated with them (and the Canucks, who hauled down their maple leaf flag years ago) clamouring for asylum before the Taliban can behead them.

On Friday, M Trudeau announced that those Quislings and their families will be "welcomed" to Canada as refugees. Who will do the welcoming is unclear, as are specifics of the plan, but (Just in sez) his minions are on the ground in Afghanistan, working to identify those eligible for a new "path to protection." 

The Canadian public seems not to share their leader's sentiments. Comments in the Groan & Wail were unavailable due to "technical difficulties" within an hour of the story being posted.

In his opening remarks at the snorefest, Mr Socks called on the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and federal security agencies to stop practices that "target" Muslims. He repeated the "diversity is our strength" mantra, calling on weary Canucks to fight for a Canada "where we celebrate diversity, where we stand together." 

How the CRA and federal security agencies will "help" is as unclear as anything else M Trudeau says, but Agent 3 warns that if anyone dares to write, say or even think anything even vaguely anti-Muslim, they can expect visits from the tax guys and/or the Mounties. M-106 is still in effect!

When he spoke of "security agencies",  the Canuck PM somehow failed to mention the Toronto Police Service, one of whose members -- Constable Jeffrey Northrup -- was laid to rest just a few days earlier, having been killed by a vehicle in the city hall parking garage while trying to apprehend Umar Zameer, who now faces a charge of first-degree murder. PC Northrup's bosses have declined to released any information on Mr Zameer's nationality, ethnicity, religion or immigration status. M-106.

Yesterday saw the opening of an inquest into another "interaction" between police and a follower of the Prophet, although this time it was the civilian who got killed. Ali Zaraeeneh was shot by a York Regional Police sniper on 13 December 2017, inside a bank in the city of Vaughan, just north of Toronto. He was armed with a gun and claimed to be wearing an explosive "suicide vest". Negotiators were called to the scene to reason with the "emotionally disturbed" man, but police were ultimately forced to "use lethal force in order to gain control of the suspect."

Three years ago last week, another "emotionally disturbed" "new Canadian" shot and killed himself in Toronto's Greektown, after first shooting and killing 10-year-old Juliana Kozis and 18-year-old Reese Fallon, and wounding 13 other people. Faisal Hussain opened fire on people sitting on restaurant patios and walking along Danforth Avenue, for no apparent reason. 

The so-called Greater Toronto Area is the destination of choice for 1000s of immigrants, "refugees" and asylum-seekers fleeing the Muslim civil wars in the Middle East. There's no news from there this morning, but in Montréal -- preferred by Muslims from North Africa -- police have just cancelled an Amber Alert for 16-year-old Zahraa Jaafar, after she was found alive. She had reportedly been abducted by her brother, Mohammad Jaafar, 22, in what was undoubtedly an affair having to do with the family's honour.

Of course not all the "refugees", asylum-seekers and other Muslim immigrants are like that. Some of the followers of the "Religion of Peace" (TM) are actually peaceful people who work as Uber drivers or run shawarma shops or halal butcheries. But with a federal election almost certain to be called for the fall, and immigration being a top-of-the-mind issue for Canuck voters (so much so that pollsters won't even ask about it -- M-106), M Trudeau will probably not show up for a photo-op with the next planeload.

UPDATE ADDED 29/7/21:  Toronto Police are looking for the public's help in find someone who our old friend Mark Steyn would call "yet another Mohammed". Mohammed Maboob is a suspect in an investigation into two instances of sexual assault that took place over the course of this summer. 

It is alleged that on June 9th, a 49-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in the Firvalley Court and Warden Avenue area. In a second incident, police say a 27-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in the Victoria Park and Danforth avenues area. 

Mr Maboob, age 55 [Really? 55?! Ed.] is wanted for two counts of sexual assault and one count of fail to comply with a release order. (That means he was already out on bail.) Police have said nothing about his ethnicity, religion or immigration status.

MUSIC VIDEO: Susanna Heystek fiddlin' around: Foxtrot Rag

There's still snow on the ground around Walt's cabin in the pines, but I heard a cardinal when I made my way out to the little house this morning. Makes the ole heart beat just a bit faster. Here's something cheerful for a grey end-of-winter day: fine fiddle music from a young Susanna Heystek.

   

Susanna and her family are Boers, and proud of it. They left the "New South Africa" some years ago for what they thought was the Great White North. How disappointed they must have been if they arrived at, say, Toronto. But they followed Horrors Greeley's advice and made their way west to Alberta -- Canada's version of Texas -- where they are doing well. 

The Heysteks are the kind of immigrants Canada needs... but not the kind the Liberal government of Blackie McBlackface wants. In recent years the major source country for legal immigrants to Canada has been... wait for it... India. 

That's why the so-called Greater Toronto Area and parts of British Columbia's Lower Mainland have become Liberal strongholds. But just to be sure, Mr Socks has directed his minions to find another 400,000 of them this year to swell the ranks even further. If you're a white Sef African or European, his plans for Canada don't include you!

"British" man convicted of having sex with chickens, not all of them alive

Every now and then we get a bestiality story, usually involving large quadrupeds, like donkeys. This year it's (as John Cleese would say) "something completely different." This story appeared Monday in the Sun, a British tabloid. We're sure they didn't intend to incite hatred or contempt for any identifiable group of people, nor to disgust members of PETA and other animal lovers. 

A depraved "British" man has been jailed for three years for having sex with chickens, even after he killed them, while his wife filmed it for their "family vids". 

Rehan Baig, 37, was busted after a tipster told the British National Crime Agency that he had child porn, after which Inspector Knacker found "a number of indecent images of children" at his home in Bradford, according to Crown Prosecutor Abigail Langford.

She told Bradford Crown Court, "Also located among the devices interrogated were moving images showing the defendant engaging in penetrative sexual intercourse with a number of chickens. The defendant caused the death of the chickens on each occasion."

One of the videos even showing Baig having sex with one of the animals in his basement after it had died. Mr Baig's wife, Haleema, filmed him with a phone and GoPro, and the clips (which also included abuse of a dog) were kept in a file called "family vids". The prosecutor told the sentencing hearing that Mrs Baig was a "willing participant", and was "heard to make sexual encouraging remarks towards the defendant and engages in sexual intercourse with him."

Judge Richard Mansell called the "depraved, perverted and despicable" acts "beyond comprehension," saying they would make anyone "sick to the stomach." He told the accused he was guilty of "unspeakable cruelty to the animals he abused for his own sexual gratification," saying that the "pain and suffering was horrific."

Mr Baig was sentenced to three years in prison after admitting three counts of intentionally performing an act of penetration on live chickens, as well as possessing extreme pornographic images, making indecent photographs of children and possessing cocaine and cannabis resin. He was also banned for life from keeping any animal and he must be on the sex offender register for life. 

Mrs Baig pleaded guilty to three aiding and abetting counts for filming her husband. She was sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for 18 months, during which she must get rehabilitation. Despite prosecutors calling her a "willing participant", her defence team insisted she was coerced by an abusive husband whom she has since left.

In keeping with the British Code of Fair Play and Political Correctness, the court was told nothing about the ethnicity or religion of the loving couple, nor about their status in the Disunited Kingdom. Walt accepts that the abhorrent actions of two people should not be allowed to reflect badly on the majority of South Asian Muslim immigrants, who are undoubtedly decent, honest people of which type Britain needs 1000s more.

Further reading: Florida Republican hopeful Laura Loomer called Islam "a cancer on humanity". Click here to read her interview with Britain's Daily Mail, 20/10/20, in which she tells how she was banned From Twitter, PayPal and Uber, and had her bank account frozen. Such is the price of political incorrectness.

Let us not forget

Yes, I know what day this is. It's the 19th anniversary of the dastardly, scurrilous, infamous attack on America, which was now call simply "9/11".

On this solemn anniversary, let us not forget who did this. The attackers, who came to the USA to learn to fly just well enough to crash into their targets, were Islamic terrorists -- nationals of Saudi Arabia for the most part -- Muslim jihadis bent on killing as many "infidels" as possible. They are now in Paradise, presumably, being serviced by 72 virgins. But there are hundreds of thousands of them still out there.

The threat of Islamic terrorist attacks is higher today than it was 19 years ago, if for no other reason than that Western politicians (Hello, Angela Merkel! Hello, Justin Trudeau! Hello, Barack Hussein Obama!) have stupidly welcomed millions of Muslims into their countries. See "Merkel reveals she has no regrets over 2015 migrant influx, claims she would let 1 million into Germany again", rt.com 28/8/20.

But surely (I hear you say) they can't all be fanatics. In reply I say, is there any such thing as a moderate Muslim? Those who follow the news from Europe can read every day stories about gangs of Muslim immigrants, "refugees" and asylum-seekers raising hell in the countries that took them in. See, for example, "Sweden's right seizes on crime to warn of 'second pandemic'", ft.com 30/8/20.

But (I hear you say) that's Europe, not America (or, by extension, Canada). Foolish Norte Americanos, take a look around you! Mosques are springing up everywhere, even in the small communities of "flyover country". Parts or all of large American and Canadian cities are majority Muslim, at risk of turning into the no-go zones which already exist in Sweden, France and the Disunited Kingdom.

Right now we are preoccupied with the nonsense of BLM and "anti-Black racism", but when all the pandering is over and the police defunded, who will protect us when the jihad comes to our streets? And who (let me ask you) would you rather have in the White House when the next wave of Islamic terrorist attacks begins?

Man starts new job, steals $17,000, then disappears

I'm sure Agent 17 would agree that it's time for me to stop gloating about Still-President Trump's excellent week, and write about something else, maybe something on the lighter side. Consider it done, 17! Here's a story from Hamden CT which is good for at least a bemused smile.

The man in the picture, whose identity, ethnicity and religion are unknown, was hired by the owner of the Go On gas station in Hamden CT to work the midnight shift, on his own, under the watchful eye of the store's security cameras.

When the store owner used an app on his phone to view the cameras and check on how his new employee was doing, he was shocked, shocked to find that his brand-new employee was nowhere to be seen.

According to Hamden cops, "[The owner] quickly ascertained that the new employee had left. [He] immediately responded to the store and ascertained that the new employee had stolen numerous items including lottery tickets, 89 boxes of cigarettes and money." Yes, money -- some $17,000 in cash -- plus the cigarettes and, oh yes, some lottery tickets as well. On his very first day at work.

But wait, as Vince Offer used to say, there's more! The suspect also managed to steal the employment folder containing all of his personal information. So the store owner not only has no way to identify the man, but doesn't even know his name! [Any bets on "Mohammed"? Ed.] In a FaceBook post, the Hamden PD warned people "Careful whom you hire!"

Browning of Canada - 1 pic = 1000 words

The first baby born in Toronto in 2020 was little Ameer Deeq Mohammed, son of Ikran Ahmed Mohamed, left, and Deeq Mohameed Farah, born at 0000, the stroke of midnight, on New Year's Day.

Looking at the Greater Toronto Area [sic], the "miracle baby", as his father called him, narrowly beat out a Hindu baby, Aryan [sic] Walia, who was born 50 seconds after midnight at Credit Valley Hospital in Mississauga ON.

That's all ye know and all ye need to know about how things are trending in the Great No-longer-white North.

UPDATED: Toronto-area honour killing (?) claims 4 family members

First, the version of this story published by the state-owned, ultra-PC CBC (Canadian Broadcorping Castration).

Four people found dead in a Markham, Ontario, residence on Sunday afternoon were killed, York Regional Police have confirmed as a man arrested at the scene is set for a court appearance Monday. Const. Andy Pattenden told CBC Toronto that the man, 20, is in custody and will appear in court "at some point today." Pattenden also said the identities of the four would not be released until after post-mortems.

An earlier version of the CBC article said police would not disclose the relationship, if any, between the residents of the house and the man taken into custody. UPDATE added at 0750: That man has now been identified (even on the CBC!) as 23-year-old Menhaz Zaman, of Markham. He is charged with four counts of murder in the first degree.

Markham is a burgeoning town just northeast of the Little Apple. The majority of its residents are Chinese. Agent 78 tuned in to Fairchild Radio, the local Chinese-language outlet, and learned that the family -- for they were all related -- were south Asians. Another source quoted a family friend named "Rafiq" as saying they were a happy family who had just that weekend had a lovely picnic at Bluffer's Park in nearby Scarborough.

South Asian family. Domestic violence. Murder. Don't be surprised if, as Walt hereby predicts, this turns out to be an "honour killing" -- some sort of domestic situation arising from someone not following the strict laws of Islam regarding dress and deportment, or choice of spouse.

Such things are not unknown among the Middle Eastern and south Asian immigrant communities of Toronto and Vancouver. See, for example, the still-shocking Shafia murder case, in which an Afghan immigrant to Canada, his second wife (in a polygamous marriage) and his son, all devout followers of the Prophet, were convicted of the murder by drowning of the man's first wife and three of his daughters by his second wife.

Don't be surprised, either, if Walt and others who dare to suggest that people who believe that such atrocities are justifiable if it's a matter of honour or fidelity to one's religion shouldn't be admitted to our supposedly Christian countries are called "racists", "Islamophobes" and all the other pejoratives hurled at those who make the link between barbaric cultural practices and heathen religions. Lifetime pct .988.

UPDATE added at 1145: Walt is not the type to say "I told you so." Keep that in mind as you look at this pic of the murder victims -- Menham Zaman's father, mother, grandmother and sister. Why would a young man kill not only his parents, but his granny and his sister too? It may be some time before we learn the answer... if ever.

"Project Kraken" proves Greater Toronto a really multicultural city

The Toronto Police Service [sic] (not exactly as pictured) assisted by forces from around the Greater Toronto [sic] Area, had a busy time in the pre-dawn hours of Thursday morning.

Following an eigh-month-long investigation -- dubbed "Project Kraken" -- into drugs and guns in the GTA, the boys in black did what they love to do -- dress up like soldiers and break into people's houses and apartments. The raids resulted in the arrest of 55 people. Add in 18 previously arrested for a total of 73, now charged with a grand total of 599 offences.

Who are these people (I hear you ask)? Where did they come from? Are they "old-stock Canadians", or perhaps "new Canadians" imported from the shitholes of the Caribbean, the Middle East and Africa. Inspector Knacker does not keep (or, perhaps, disclose) details of race, religion, or citizenship status.

Errr... that's it. Don't be telling me it's all those damn Muslim refugees. I only counted 3 Mohammeds and a couple of Abduls. The others are a real mixed bag, a fine fine example of the inclusivity and multiculturalism that makes "Greater Toronto" what it is today. "Diversity is our strength!" (copyright, J. Trudeau)

POTUS: Why should USA accept immigrants from "shithole" countries?

Cazart! The (((controlled media))) have their hair all on fire because President Trump asked the question that millions of Americans are asking, in exactly the words millions of Americans use every day. In rejecting a bipartisan deal on immigration earlier today, POTUS questioned why the US of A would accept more immigrants from Haiti and "shithole countries" in Africa rather than places like Norway.

His pointed question startled the PC lawmakers in the meeting, and immediately revived charges that President Trump is a racist. The White House didn't deny his remark but issued a statement saying Mr Trump supports immigration policies that welcome "those who can contribute to our society."

Walt congratulates POTUS on having the stones to use the word "shithole" to describe the country/continent in question. I've been there -- to Africa that is, not Haiti -- and can confirm that the description is accurate. Haiti, by all accounts, is even worse. Those who emigrate from such places to Europe and North America do so in search of better lives for themselves. They don't come here to make our lives better. So all the President is doing is telling it like it is... at last!!!

Note from Ed.: This is a developing story. Walt may have more to say tomorrow. Right now he's making popcorn to munch while enjoying the evening news.

UPDATE added 12/1/18: The latest Tweet from President Trump says "The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used." I leave it to you, dear reader, to figure out what that means, since POTUS didn't say the word he didn't say! If he didn't use the specific word "shithole", that's too bad. I thought "shithole" was just the right word to describe places like Haiti, Somalia, Nigeria... the list goes on. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself.

Canuck cops cover up terror attack outside Toronto

Agent 3 gave us this story yesterday but Ed. thought we should sit on it for 24 hours to see if the Canadian "authorities" would tell their people the whole truth, but they didn't, so we will!

Vaughan ON is a fast-growing bedroom community which sprawls along what was once good farmland to the north of Metropolitan Toronto. Apart from a third-rate theme park called "Canada's Wonderland" [not "Canada in Wonderland?" Ed.], it has the usual collection of ticky-tacky tract homes, strip malls and what have you. "What have you" includes a large population of immigrants and a minority of "old stock Canadians".

On Wednesday afternoon, a man walked into a bank branch in a strip mall in the Woodbridge area, just north of the boundary with Toronto, with a gun in his hand and, around his torso, a belt to which was fastened what appeared to be an explosive device of some kind. A serious armed robber, you might think, but nooooo....

Nasir Labib was standing in the doorway of his dental office at around 1300 Wednesday when a customer from the bank just across the plaza came looking for help. Dr Labib picks up the story. "She said there was a young guy inside the bank, had a gun in his hand and had a belt, I think with explosives. And he wasn't asking for money, he was asking for, I believe, a bag of drugs and to talk to Donald Trump by five o'clock or otherwise he's going to blow everybody away."

Dr Labib said the middle-aged woman was traumatized after coming face to face with the gunman, who then asked a customer to give him his cell phone so he could call police. Dr Labib again. "What the lady told me he made them sit down and tied their hands, but she wasn't tied. When I asked her, 'How did you run away?' she said, 'I wasn't tied and then he found out that my hands are free and he asked one of the tellers to tie my hands.' While the teller was doing that, the alarm went off. So her and the teller managed to run out from the fire exit and that's how we found her in front of the office here."

13 staff and customers were in the bank at the time of the incident. York Regional Police officers first on scene were able to get some of them out. The cops, including members of the emergency response unit -- that's what they call SWAT teams these days -- tried trying to negotiate with the suspect, while about 50 children from a daycare centre just a few doors down were escorted into Dr Labib's dental office.

Negotiations failed or at least broke down, so two York Region cops shot the suspect... fatally. And good for them, sez I. Now here's what we know about the deceased. He was a 25-year-old man who lived about 5 miles from the scene of the "incident". That's all the York Region PD would say. Their excuse for not naming the late perpetrator or saying anything about his ethnicity, religion or citizenship status was that the Ontario Special Investigations Unit was in charge of the case, investigating (of course) the conduct of the cops who shot the hostage-taker.

So we have a man armed with a gun and an explosive device entering a bank, not to rob it, but demanding to be put in touch with President Trump. (Some drugs too, please.) We also know that the RCMP were called in. In Ontario, the Mounties only get involved with things like, errr, threats to national security and, errr, terrorism. We also know that the so-called Greater Toronto Area is "home" to 1000s of "refugees", asylum-seekers and other migrants -- legal and illegal -- a large percentage of whom are followers of the Prophet. Mosques, halal butcheries and shawarma shops are springing up everywhere.

Can we then say with any degree of certainty that the attacker or hostage-taker was a "terrorist"? Certainly the lady who told her story to Dr Labib was terrified, as were the other hostages and innocent bystanders. OK, but was the perp an Islamic terrorist? Was he a "Mohammed"? None of those whose mission is "to serve and protect" (ha!) is saying. Perhaps they are constrained by M-103, a motion of the Canuck parliament intended to stop the spread of Islamophobia, by which they mean stopping anyone from saying anything negative about Muslims.

Fortunately for seekers of the truth, a reporter went to the suspect's home and got talking to a man outside of the house who identified himself as the 25-year-old's uncle. According to the uncle, the suspect was a young child when he came to Canada from Iran with his family. Walt will update this post as the truth leaks out. For now, that's all ye know and all ye need to know.

UPDATED: Black racist shoots up Nashville church

No, we're not talking about how Dylan Roof, an avowed white supremacist shot up the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston SC, back in June of 2015. He killed nine people and wounded three others, in hopes (the state alleged) of starting a race war. Mr Roof was found competent to stand trial in federal court, and in December 2016 was convicted of 33 federal hate crime and murder charges stemming from the shooting. On January 10th of this year, he was sentenced to death.

Mr Roof was separately charged with nine counts of murder in the South Carolina state courts. This past April, he pleaded guilty to all nine state charges in order to avoid a second death sentence and was sentenced to life imprisonment for each, clearing the way for his eventual federal execution.

Mr Roof was white. His victims were black. The massacre was undoubtedly a hate crime, and rightly denounced as such by all right-thinking people (and I mean "right-thinking" in a moral, not political sense). Let us see what happens now that the roles have been reversed.

Yesterday, in Antioch TN (just down the road from Nashville), one woman was killed and seven other people were hurt after a suspect identified as a Sudanese immigrant opened fire at the predominantly white Burnette Chapel Church of Christ.

Law enforcement officials identified the the perp as Emanuel Kidega Samson, 25, who immigrated, with his family, from Sudan in 1996. The family qualified as refugees from the civil war which was then (and still is) raging in that impoverished and backward country.

Mr Samson is suspected (LOL - "suspected") of bringing at least two pistols to the church, along with a ski mask which he donned before opening fire. An usher, Robert Engle, confronted the gunman at one point and was pistol-whipped, causing significant injury around his head. During the scuffle, Mr Samson too was injured. It was initially reported that he had shot himself, but police now say it might have been that his gun discharged unintentionally.

Nashville police took Mr Samson to the hospital. Following treatment he was released, and is expected to be charged with murder and attempted murder. The FBI and the US Attorney's office have opened a civil rights investigation. It is not yet clear whether the "civil rights" which may have been violated are those of Mr Samson or his victims. In today's America, who knows...

No word has reached us, yet, of demonstrations being planned by SPLC, BLM, the masked marauders of AntiFa or other SJWs.

UPDATE ADDED 30/9/17: The Washington Post reported yesterday that a note in Mr Samson's car indicated a possible plot spurred by the fatal 2015 shootings at Emanuel AME church in Charleston. Reuters tried to get confirmation or at least a comment from representatives of the US Attorney's Office, the FBI and the Nashville police. No-one would utter a word because, as we all know, racism is a white thing... only a white thing.

Somali tribesmen of MN (!) fall for anti-vaxxers' BS, get sick and die

Among the barbaric cultural practices that refugees, asylum-seekers and other immigrants from Third World shitholes bring with them is a belief that modern Western medicines are designed to kill them, or at least keep them from reproducing like brown rabbits.

Let Walt remediate the inspecificity. The Western medicine we're talking about is the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine given to over 90% of North American kids in early childhood. And the community of ignorant immigrants in question is the tribe of Somali "refugees" imported by the Obama administration from one of the world's worst failed states.

In a story headlines "Measles outbreak sickens dozens of Minnesota Somalis who avoid vaccine", the Chicago Tribune reports on a serious outbreak of measles in Minnesota, where 34 cases have been confirmed in the last two weeks alone. Why? Because the Muslim invaders -- 99% of Somalis are Muslims -- are refusing the MMR vaccine because, in their ignorance, they believe the canard being circulated by the crazy anti-vaxxers that the vaccine causes autism.

The story quotes the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to the effect that measles, which was declared eliminated in the USA in 2000, has now gained a foothold in the larger community because of the intransigence of the clannish immigrants. Nearly everyone infected is unvaccinated, and all but a few are of Somali descent. So far, 11 children have been hospitalized. A spokesthingy for the Department of Health says the source of the outbreak is unknown, but that such outbreaks in the US are typically caused when international travellers are infected overseas and bring the virus home.

According to the Health Department, 42% of Minnesota-born Somali toddlers had received the MMR vaccine as of 2017. But the take-up rate hasn't always been that low. In 2004, 92% of Somali kids had thir shots. But the community's immunization rate fell to 70% in 2008 amid a perception that autism was becoming more common among Somali children. A 2014 study by the American Board of Family Medicine found 35% of Somali parents surveyed believed the measles vaccine causes autism, something believed by only 8% of non-Somalis.

Other communities with low vaccination rates have also been affected by measles in recent years. Nearly 20 people in the Orthodox Jewish community in Los Angeles were sickened by measles in December. 58 came down with the disease in 2013 when measles swept through Orthodox Jewish communities in New York.

MI doctor charged with female genital mutilation; guess which religion?

Should be an interesting afternoon in beautiful downtown Detroit. [Eh??? Ed.] Protesters with "NOCIRC of Michigan" plan to gather about noon EDT outside the US District Courthouse to raise awareness of the barbaric "cultural" -- read "Muslim" -- practice of female circumcision, more accurately described as female genital mutilation or "FGM".

"The genitals of both girls AND boys needs [sic] to be protected from the harm of any genital cutting practice," said (((Norm Cohen))), executive director of NOCIRC of Michigan. "Michigan has one of the highest rates of circumcision in the world. This unnecessary custom violates a child's right to bodily integrity and normal functions."

The occasion for the protest is the bail hearing, scheduled for 1300 today, for Jumana Nagarwala, M.D., a Detroit doctor with performing genital mutilation on two 7-year-old girls, in what is believed to be the first case brought under a law prohibiting the procedure. Dr Nagarwala, an emergency room physician at Henry Ford Hospital, is alleged to have performed the procedures at an unnamed medical clinic in the Detroit suburb of Livonia.

"Female genital mutilation constitutes a particularly brutal form of violence against women and girls," said acting US Attorney Daniel Lemisch. "The practice has no place in modern society and those who perform FGM on minors will be held accountable under federal law."

Female genital mutilation typically involves the partial or total removal of the clitoris and is barred by numerous international treaties. The practice is common in several African countries, including Somalia, Sudan and Egypt, where it is often a cultural or religious tradition. What do these countries have in common? They are all Muslim countries, run according to strict interpretations of Islamic law. (Notice that Ethiopia, a predominantly Christian country surrounded by the others, is not in the list.)

Why does Michigan have one of the highest rates of FGM in the world? Because that state, and the greater Detroit area in particular, is the new home of hundreds of thousands of Muslim immigrants, "refugees" and asylum-seekers, who have brought their barbaric cultural practices with them. Yet it has taken two decades for the Justice Department to launch this first criminal prosecution under a law against such practices enacted in 1996!
