Pundits Blame Sydney Slaughter on Protest Slogan

Australian officials are still learning about the individuals who carried out the Bondi Beach attack, killing more than a dozen Jews celebrating Hanukkah in Sydney. But the pundits, with their magnifying glasses and meerschaum pipes, have cracked the case. The culprit is: pro-Palestine protesters.

“When people chant ‘intifada revolution,’ they are revealing something important about their goals and methods,” wrote noted Iraq War enthusiast David Frum (Atlantic, 12/14/25). “Yet in many Western countries, public authorities have been reluctant—or unwilling—to hear the message.” Frum went on:

It is helpful to possess a lexicon of what is typically intended by these vocabularies. Armed struggle means shooting people or blowing them up with bombs. By any means necessary means targeting the most defenseless: children, the elderly, other civilians. Globalize the intifada means shooting or bombing people in Sydney, London, Paris, Toronto, Los Angeles and New York City, as well as in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. From the river to the sea means the annihilation of a sovereign democratic state and the mass murder, expulsion and enslavement of much of its population.

Oxford University student, 20, is charged with stirring up racial hatred after allegedly promoting an antisemitic chant at pro-Palestine demonstration

An Oxford University student caught on camera allegedly making antisemitic chants at a pro-Palestine demonstration has been charged with a public order offence.

The Metropolitan Police said Samuel Williams, 20, was charged with stirring up racial hatred at a Palestine Coalition demo in Whitehall, central London, on Saturday, October 11.

He was charged today and will appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court in the new year.

Williams was identified by the Daily Mail after footage emerged of a man allegedly chanting an antisemitic chant at the pro-Palestine protest.

Williams was arrested at a property in Oxfordshire on suspicion of inciting racial hatred following an investigation launched by Scotland Yard detectives.

The philosophy, politics and economics student at Balliol College was also suspended by Oxford University.

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said there had been an ‘unacceptable increase in anti-Semitism’ at universities and added that many Jewish students did not feel safe on campus.

She called on universities to strengthen protections for Jewish students and said the Government was funding training to help staff and students ‘tackle this poison of antisemitism’.

Thousands march in Hungary in protest over child abuse scandal

Thousands of Hungarians marched to Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s offices on Saturday, led by opposition leader Peter Magyar, ‍who ​urged the veteran nationalist to resign over ‍an abuse scandal at a juvenile detention centre.

Protesters walked through Budapest’s frosty streets ​behind ​a banner reading “Protect the children!”, carrying soft toys and torches in solidarity with victims of physical abuse in a case dating ‍back several years.

The prosecutor’s office said on Wednesday that seven people ​had been detained at the ⁠state-run Budapest juvenile centre so far.

Orban, who faces what could be the toughest challenge to his 15-year rule in an election likely in April, condemned the ​abuse in an interview with news outlet Mandiner, calling it unacceptable and criminal.

“More and ‌more revolting things keep surfacing ​on a daily basis, which I did not think were possible in this country,” said Judit Voros, one of the protesters marching to Orban’s offices on Castle Hill in Budapest.

Earlier this week, the government placed Hungary’s five juvenile correctional institutions under direct police oversight while prosecutors ‍investigate the case.

ICE Says Democrat Rep. Adelita Grijalva ‘Joined the Rioting Crowd’ During Major Bust of Transnational Criminal Ring in Arizona, Attempted to Impede Agents, Lied About Being Pepper Sprayed

Democrat Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva has been accused by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of joining a violent mob that attacked federal agents during a major operation targeting a transnational criminal organization in Tucson, Arizona.

The raid, which resulted in the arrest of 46 illegal aliens, including a convicted sex offender, exposed a network involved in human smuggling, labor exploitation, tax violations, and immigration crimes.

Unfortunately, it was rocked by chaos as over 100 leftist activists arrived on the scene, assaulting officers and slashing their tires.

The operation took place on Friday, when ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Arizona team, along with partners including the IRS Criminal Investigation, Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), U.S. Border Patrol, and other federal, state, and local agencies, executed 16 federal search warrants.

These warrants targeted nine family-owned restaurants and seven associated stash houses in the Tucson area, including locations in Sierra Vista, Green Valley, Casa Grande, and Apache Junction.

The multiyear investigation aimed to dismantle a criminal syndicate exploiting American labor and commerce systems.

Among the arrests was a previously deported illegal alien who had served five years in prison for sexual assault and now faces charges for unlawful reentry.

The mission turned dangerous when rioters intervened at one restaurant location and over 100 agitators locked a gate to trap agents inside.

In a press release, ICE explained, “At one of the locations, over 100 agitators descended and attempted to impede law enforcement operations, locking a gate to trap agents within the perimeter of the restaurant. Agitators quickly turned violent, assaulting officers and slashing tires. An HSI Special Response Team was mobilized to regain control of the situation, where they were forced to deploy countermeasures.”

In a video posted on X, Grijalva described the targeted restaurant, Taco Giro, as a “mom-and-pop” spot she visits weekly and claimed she and her staff were aggressively pushed and sprayed while simply seeking clarification, invoking her congressional privileges.

Was The J6 “Insurrection” A Government-Sponsored Seditious Conspiracy?

Cold Case Heats Up

“[The current FBI] was competent at cracking the case; [Christopher Wray’s] was competent at corruption and obstructing it.”

– Mike Benz

Do you have any idea what tapestry of corruption and crime is attached to the little thread of the J6 / DNC / RNC pipe bomber suspect arrested yesterday by the FBI? Consider this: suspect Brian Cole, Jr., is alive and probably talking, unlike, say, Jeffrey Epstein and Thomas Matthew Crooks in other matters of public interest. Let’s hope he is under FBI protection in custody, lest something. . . say. . . happen to him.

As of early this morning, the country knows next to nothing else about Cole and what he was up to the night of Jan. 5, 2021.

The FBI has not even said how he is employed. But his photo shows a young man dressed for office work. . . he lives in a nice house in the DC suburbs of Virginia. . .and you might infer that he is, possibly, a federal government worker. Oh, and the FBI was unable to catch him through the whole four years of “Joe Biden?”

You can suppose at this point that the story of that four-year botched investigation will be a way bigger thing than the pipe bomber’s little prank itself.

It probably leads to the story of wholesale corruption in Christopher Wray’s FBI, and even more consequentially, to the realization that the so-called J6, 2021 “insurrection” was a government op from top to bottom, aimed at eradicating Trump and Trumpism.

First, what was supposed to happen in a joint session of Congress that day?

Answer: certification of electoral college votes in the 2020 election. What else was liable to happen that day? Answer: under the Electoral Count Act of 1887 (3 U.S.C. §§ 5–6, 15–18) — as amended, and by the rules laid out in the U.S. Constitution (Article II and the 12th Amendment) — objections to several states’ slates of electors were expected to be entertained, triggering debate and possible rejection of those states’ electors on the basis that the votes were not “lawfully certified” (under 3 U.S.C. § 6), or not “regularly given” (meaning the vote was marred by fraud, corruption, or violence). Any state’s electoral votes could be rejected if both the House and Senate voted by simple majority, after up to two hours of separate debate.

At mid-day, objections meeting the written requirement (one House member + one Senator) were filed for Arizona and Pennsylvania. The objection to the Arizona vote (Rep. Paul Gosar + Sen. Ted Cruz) was the first scheduled to be debated shortly after 1:00 p.m. It was not allowed to happen. Instead, Congress evacuated the chamber. When Congress returned at 8:00 p.m., votes objecting to Arizona and Pennsylvania slates failed and no others were taken up. Senators who previously had committed to debating the votes of several other swing states demurred, citing the breach of demonstrators into the Capitol. The full tally concluded at 3:44 in the morning, Jan 7, “Joe Biden” and Kamala Harris were certified as winners of the 2020 election.

Here are some things to know about the pipe bomb subplot in the J-6 story.

Kamala Harris, vice president-elect, still a sitting Senator (CA), was not in the chamber for the certification process. She arrived at the DNC headquarters some blocks away from the Capitol by motorcade at 11:30 a.m. and stayed until she was evacuated from the DNC at 1:14 p.m. Couple of questions about that? 1) did she not want to be present in the chamber at the momentous instant that her election as veep was certified? 2) Did she not have a duty to be present for voting on any of the procedure? Weird, a little bit. She has never explained what she was doing at the DNC that day.

Kamala Harris was in the DNC building when the pipe bomb was discovered there, around 1:07 p.m. The pipe bomb at the RNC had been discovered some 20 minutes prior, and it was the discovery of that bomb, at 12:44 p.m. that prompted the evacuation of the joint House / Senate session in Congress, not any breach of the Capitol building, which did not occur until 2:13, p.m., more than an hour later.

Pipe Bomber Unmasked: Affidavit Reveals How FBI Identified Brian Cole

After nearly five years, the January 6 pipe bomber was arrested by the FBI on Thursday.

Brian Cole, 30, of Woodbridge, Virginia, was taken into custody and charged with use of an explosive device and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials.

Cole planted pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5, the night before the Capitol riot.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said during a press conference on Thursday that the FBI solved the case without any new tips or witnesses.

The FBI identified Cole based on his phone pings and transaction history on his credit cards, according to an affidavit:

The FBI has identified one bank checking account and six credit cards (the “Accounts”) used by COLE. The FBI obtained records for the checking account and three credit cards for the time period January 2018 to January 2021. Three additional credit cards were obtained for the time period of January 2018 to November 2025. The FBI reviewed the transaction history for all of these Accounts.

Here’s an Update on the J6 Pipe Bomb Suspect. It’s Not Good.

There’s a reason why we emphasized the if regarding the January 6 pipe bomb suspect that was named in an article from The Blaze in early November. The publication stressed that several intelligence sources confirmed its information. They cited gait analysis to identify the person involved, who was reportedly a former Capitol Police officer. It was a significant ‘whoa’ moment, but only if true. If The Blaze hit the bullseye, it would’ve blown this story wide open. As it happens, it’s becoming clear they shanked the field goal. This individual provided an alibi, and now litigation concerns are brewing (via CBS News).

A federal security officer linked to a thwarted Jan. 6 pipe bomb attack cleared her name by providing an alibi: video of her playing with her puppies at the time the devices were placed, sources told CBS News. The FBI has now ruled her out as a suspect in the 2021 plot, according to three sources — but only after her name circulated on social platforms and a conservative news site. 

How an innocent woman’s name came to be publicly linked to the unexploded pipe bombs is a question that has raised concerns among some senior officials in the Trump administration. 

CBS News is not naming the security officer or her workplace. The federal agency she protects declined to comment.

Multiple sources said that a unit overseen by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard drafted a memo identifying the woman and describing allegations that she had placed the explosive devices outside Democratic and Republican party offices. The memo was written after ODNI was made aware of allegations from an outside source, an ODNI spokesperson said.

Canadian Muslims Take to Streets in Anger After Quebec Pushes Forward With Ban on Public Prayer

The Canadian province of Quebec is planning to ban all public prayer as part of an aggressive push toward secularization.

Quebec’s secularism minister, Jean-François Roberge, said the laws were designed to accelerate his push toward secularization.

The Guardian reports:

Quebec says it will intensify its crackdown on public displays of religion in a sweeping new law that critics say pushes Canadian provinces into private spaces and disproportionately affects Muslims.

Bill 9, introduced by the governing Coalition Avenir Québec on Thursday, bans prayer in public institutions, including in colleges and universities.

It also bans communal prayer on public roads and in parks, with the threat of fines of C$1,125 for groups in contravention of the prohibition. Short public events with prior approval are exempt.

CAQ has made secularism a key legislative priority, passing the controversial Bill 21 – which bans some public sector employees from wearing religious symbol – in 2019.

It plans to extend that prohibition to anyone working in daycares, colleges, universities and private schools. Full face coverings would be banned for anyone in those institutions, including students.

Quebec’s secularism minister, Jean-François Roberge, said the laws were designed to accelerate his push toward secularization.

“It’s shocking to see people blocking traffic, taking possession of the public space without a permit, without warning, and then turning our streets, our parks, our public squares into places of worship,” he explained.

He added that schools are “are not temples or churches or those kinds of places.”

30K students actually absent Monday from Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools despite initial reports, officials say

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools on Tuesday, Nov. 18 said that 30,399 students were absent from school on Monday, Nov. 17. Officials initially reported that 20,935 students were absent on Monday.

According to the district, the number of absences was updated overnight Monday into Tuesday. The new number — nearly 30,399 — was reportedly unofficial.

The data still needed to be finalized by the state, the district said.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools did not say whether the absences were connected to a Border Patrol operation underway in the city.

Hundreds of students stage walkouts

Border Patrol agents launched an immigration operation in Charlotte and surrounding areas on Saturday, Nov. 15. The operation, dubbed “Charlotte’s Web.”

Hundreds of students staged walkouts on Tuesday to protest the federal immigration operation. The walkouts happened across four different schools in the area.

Students from East Mecklenburg High School, Philip O. Berry Academy, Ballantyne Ridge High School, and Northwest School of the Arts left class to protest.

“I think this is a direct contact for students to be able to say something and voice their opinion in a positive way,” said parent Portia Jones.

NGO-Backed Groups Train To Obstruct Immigration Arrests In North Carolina

It has been said over and over again the past few months:  Progressive activist groups sabotaging ICE operations are far too organized to be grassroots and always seem to know exactly where immigration authorities are going to show up and make arrests.  Someone is creating these mobs from thin air, training them, funding them and letting them off their leash to attack when the opportunity is presented. 

The establishment media consistently runs interference for these networks, insisting the protests are grassroots and completely spontaneous. 

One such case of propaganda is the Rachel Maddow Show on MSNOW (formerly MSNBC) and their coverage of training camps organized in Charlotte, North Carolina as federal immigration officers arrive on the ground to arrest illegal migrants. 

As we have seen across the country, anti-ICE mobs have followed a near identical playbook of disruption, provocation, sabotage, stalking of agents, blocking roads and creating general chaos in order to impede the arrests.  In some cases, direct violence is used when activists think they can get away with it.  These tactics have been employed extensively in Chicago in the past month.

Disruption groups threaten the safety of ICE agents, creating the necessity for the deployment of the National Guard, which Democrats then call “authoritarianism”.
