VIDEO: "Allahu akbar!" at Niagara Falls??? Questions arise

One of Walt's agents says that nothing ever happens in Niagara Falls NY. All the action, he claims, is on the pretty side of the river. Today was different. For those who missed it, we have some video from security cameras at the US side of The World's Longest Undefended Border (TM) crossing, timestamped about 1120 EST today.

What, dear reader, was your initial reaction to that video. Did you think it was probably just an accident? No biggie! Nothing here to see, folks!

That's the official party line [the Liberal Party and the Democratic Party. Ed.], which was rushed into print and onto the Web within a couple of hours of the "serious incident". The Powers That Be had to start the gaslighting PDQ because "right-wing" media had already starting using the T-word -- T as in Terrorism.

The T-word has been scrubbed from all the early reports in the lickspittle media, because in recent years people in Europe and North America have, for some strange reason, come to associate terrorism with the Religion of Peace (TM), Muslim jihadis, and, since last October 7th, Hamas. 

In Canada, the bought-and-paid-for media have been enjoined (by Bill M-106) from saying or writing anything that would stoke the fires of Islamophobia. See "If Canadians are Islamophobic, perhaps there's a reason", WWW 27/7/21. Most of the American media are no better.

But I digress. Here's what is known [admitted? Ed.] about what happened. The vehicle came from U.S. side of the border, travelled along Main Street at speeds estimated at 100 MPH, then became airborne and crashed into a US Customs and Border Patrol booth before bursting into flames. 

Two people in the vehicle that exploded were declared dead at the scene, and officials have said a third person believed to be a border employee was injured and taken to hospital, but has since been released. One of the occupants of the vehicle has been identified (but not named) as "a resident of western New York." 

Karen Kathy Hochul, the Democratic Governor of the Empire State, had this to say about that, "At this time there is no indication of a terrorist involved attack here at the Rainbow Bridge in Western New York." (My emphasis. Walt)

Later, Governor Hochul amplified her analysis. "If you can imagine this vehicle basically incinerated. Nothing is left but the engine. The pieces are scattered over 13, 14 booths. So it is a large scene, and it's going to take a lot of time… to be able to piece together the real story... It has not been determined to be an accident. You don't know whether the driver was intentional in how they drove… All I know is there was a horrific incident. A crash, an explosion, loss of life, but at this time, no known terrorist connection." 

I have some questions I'd like to ask.

* If the car wasn't "packed" with explosives" (as a law enforcement officer said before being silenced), what caused it to burst into flame? Even an EV wouldn't do that.

* How did police identify the "resident of western New York" whose body parts were "scattered over 13, 14 booths" by the force of the blast? And if his identity is known, why hasn't his name [not "Mohammed", surely! Ed.] and other information been released? 

* First reports said the vehicle was trying to get into the USA. It's clear from the videos that the opposite is true. So, if the occupants of the vehicle were trying to get out of the USA, why was that? 

* Were they on the run? From what? Or were they trying to get into Canada, to terrorize its famously Islamophile prime minister?

* Is it possible the deceased weren't Muslims, but Jews? (Just kidding.)

That's enough questions for today. Fortunately for Governor Hochul and all the other Authorities, whose ability to secure the World's Longest Etc border now seem even more suspect, the promised investigation will now have to wait until after the holiday weekend. Happy Thanksgiving, everone!

Suspicions confirmed: Liverpool bomber was a Mohammedan

If followers of Jesus Christ are called "Christians", what do you call followers of othe Prophet of the "Religion of Peace"? Why, "Mohammedans", of course.

Mohammedan (also spelled Muhammadan, Mahommedan, Mahomedan or Mahometan) is a term for a follower of Mohammed, the Prophet of Islam. It is used as both a noun and an adjective, meaning belonging or relating to, either Muhammad or the religion, doctrines, institutions and practices that he established. For some reason, the term "Mohammedan" has fallen into disuse, replaced nowadaysa by "Muslims", and sometimes "Islamists", although the latter term has a whiff of the Islamophobic about it. 

We mention "Islamists", in the sense of "Islamic terrorists", just in case it's not clear who Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the Disunited Kingdom, had in mind when he urged Brits to "be vigilant", as he announced that the UK's terror threat level was raised to '"severe" following the unintended suicide of a man who was trapped in a Liverpool taxi when the IED he was holding went off prematurely.

Why the alarm? Well, as Walt predicted (lifetime pct .990), the "man" turned out to be one Emad Jamil Al Swealmeen,a failed asylum seeker of Syrian and Iraqi heritage. He washed up on the shores of the UK several years ago, and in his bid to stay, changed his name to Enzo Almeni, in order to sound "more western". He also swore that he had converted to Christianity.

The late Mr Almeni (or Mr Al Swealmeen, whatever) was a pizza chef who police said had been living at a hostel for asylum seekers in Sutcliffe Street, Liverpool, for some time before renting what they called a "bomb factory" two miles away.

The sincerity of his conversion has no doubt already been tested in the next life, where, if the whole thing was a trick to gain entry to Europe for the purpose of killing infidels, he is doubtless being serviced by 72 virgins, even as we speak. 

But there will certainly be others. Inspector Knacker has advised Prime Minister Johnson that another attack on British soil is now "highly likely." This one came exactly a month after Conservative MP Sir David Amess was fatally stabbed during a constituency surgery in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. Let's see what happens in the two weeks or so before Christmas.

Remembrance Day bomber blown up in Liverpool taxi - "Allahu akbar!"?

 Since November 11th was a Thursday, the Brits decided to mark Remembrance Day today, Sunday. Queen Elizabeth II was supposed to attend a special church service but sprained her back so couldn't make it. Meanwhile, in Liverpool, this happened.

Inside a burning taxicab a "suspected terrorist" [Notice he didn't say "Islamic"... yet... Ed.] is being roasted, trapped there by a hero taxi driver who bailed out of the car and locked the doors moment before a bomb he was carrying exploded outside Liverpool Women's Hospital.

Britain's Sun newspaper reports that cabbie Dave Perry is in the hospoital, in stable condition with burns and shrapnel injuries, including damage to his ear. A colleague told the paper, "The driver is my mate, and spotted the passenger acting suspiciously, so he jumped out the car. This guy blew himself up, but my friend is OK."

Inspector Knacker of the Yard confirmed three men aged 21, 26 and 29 were later arrested under the Terrorism Act, elsewhere in Liverpoole. Being careful not to provoke Islamopohobia, detectives have not yet declared the blast a ­terrorist attack, but said "all options are on the table." 

A major investigation is under way as the bobbies try to find out the identity of the dead passenger to establish if he had appeared on any intelligence-led lists of terror suspects. Hint from Walt: try "Mohammed"! Lifetime pct .981.
