How much have you packed into the last 3 days and nights?
Here is a little background of Ilan Halimi:
Some Background Information about Ilan Halimi, taken and translated from the book by Alexandre Lévy, published in 2009: "Le Gang des Barbares". pp 17 - 20.
Ilan Halimi, born in 1982, is the youngest of the family; He has two sisters, born like himself, in Paris. His mother, Ruth, comes from a family of Sephardic Jews from Morocco; His father, Didier, comes from a mixed marriage: a mother of Armenian origin, a Jewish father. Ilan's two parents separated when he was only two years old.
Like all children of divorced parents, Ilan lives in both of these two worlds, with a clear preference nevertheless for that of its mother, to whom he is very close.
His friends remember Ilan as someone very kind, uncomplicated and generous: "he was crunching life to the fullest," said one of them. Handsome guy, seducer, it was easy to get along with, loved girls and to party...[...]...
From the beginning of 2006 Ilan works in a mobile phone shop, the "5 Com" Boulevard Voltaire, near (Place de la) République. There are about twenty of this type on this artery, each just a few square meters big, mainly managed by young people from the Jewish community ...[...]... "It was a bit like the Jewish Street" remembers Jeremy, who also worked there and knew Ilan since the earliest school days at the École Ozar-Hathorah. "We felt at home there. We could make between 2000 and 2500 euros a month. But we were working like crazy ...[...]... among our customers, many Africans ... "
It is in this environment that Ilan evolves, while increasingly interested in Israel to where he made at least one trip the year before his death. According to his mother, he was saving up to make his aliyah, like some of his French coreligionists.
...[...]... He was an ordinary young man, a little macho too, but with a "heart big like that", say those who knew him."
Ilan has now been held and tortured for 3 days, 72 hours, 4320 minutes.....like this:
24 hours have passed since I posted about the kidnapping, torture and ultimate murder of Ilan Halimi and told you that I would post something about him every day until the 13 February, the date in 2006 on which he died after 3 weeks of torture. I try this to see if it can give us a sense of the long long long days and weeks Ilan was held and tortured by the muslim gang "Le Gang de Barbares".
Gang leader Youssouf Fofana
The bait they used to catch Ilan was described later by a colleague of Ilan like so: "Look north-african, around 20, clear skin, a pleasant face, long brown hair with a few highlights...".
She was actually only 16 at the time of the crime, her name was Yalda and she had tried to seduce some colleagues of Ilan before settling on him.
Today I bring you some excerpts fom an article by Deborah Freund in Aish.com who interviewed the mother of Ilan:
"January 20, 2006
It’s a regular Friday, and I’m on my way home from work. Passing by a store I see a pair of shoes in a style that I know Ilan would like, with a buckle. I stop to purchase them. They are final sale, neither exchangeable nor refundable. I then do some shopping for our Shabbat meal. Even though I am not Orthodox, the Shabbat meal is something I will not give up for any price. It’s the only time of the week we get to all sit peacefully around a beautifully set table. When I reach our building I glance up to see if Ilan is at the window. He usually he looks out for me and runs down the stairs to help me bring up the packages. Ilan sings the Kiddush. My children were bought up in the Jewish tradition and know all the Jewish prayers. After we wash, Ilan cuts the challah and distributes it. We wish each other Shabbat Shalom. Dinner is over by 9:00 p.m.
A while later I hear Ilan answering the telephone in his room. I will later learn that that was the fateful call from his new acquaintance inviting him out. I see him putting on his windbreaker. I don’t like it when he goes out on Shabbat and he knows it. “Don’t be angry, Maman,” he says, an apologetic smile playing on his lips. As if having a premonition that this would be the last time I would ever see him, I try to keep him from leaving. “You didn’t try on your new shoes,” I remind him. He gives me a hug. “Tomorrow,” he says, and clatters down the stairs.
The shoes are still lying untouched in their box.
January 21
The nightmare starts the following day when we realize that Ilan hasn’t come home. None of his friends have heard from him either. I’m reading a story to Noa, my granddaughter, when I hear my daughters’ piercing screams in the next room. They’re looking at a photo of Ilan on the computer screen that has just been sent by email. My son’s face is covered with black tape, and there’s a pistol pointed at his temple. “We are holding Ilan,” the email reads. “We are demanding 450,000 euros for his release.”
A phone call ensues. A young man speaking French with a heavy African accent says, “You have 20 minutes to bring the money. If you contact the police, we will kill him.” My two daughters, each holding one of my hands, drag me down the stairs to the police station. Didier, Ilan’s father, is already there, having received the same phone call.
The police try to figure out why Ilan was targeted. None of us can pay the sum of 450,000 euros. I’m a secretary. Ilan earns 1,200 euro a month. His father doesn’t have any money either. Our profile certainly doesn’t mark us as a target for kidnappers....."
11 years ago today, Ilan Halimi, a 23 year old French Jew was abducted by a Parisian Muslim gang who called themselves "Le Gang des Barbares". During the next 24 days, the handsome and charismatic young man was slowly tortured to death.
Ilan Halimi
He was held for 24 days in an apartment on the 11th floor of a residential building, bound, with his head covered entirely in duct tape except for a small gap for his mouth.
He was subjected to three weeks of beatings and torture, while gang members attempted to extract a 450,000 Euro ransom from his family. Ilan's uncle, Rafi Halimi, reported that "the gang phoned the family on several occasions and made them listen to the recitation of verses from the Koran, while Ilan's tortured screams could be heard in the background."
Halimi was found naked, handcuffed and tied to a tree three weeks after his capture, but died from his wounds on the way to hospital.
Twenty-three people participated in torturing Ilan. Another twenty were involved indirectly. The custodian of the building gave them the key to an apartment where they said they wanted to "keep someone." French journalist Guy Millière reported that the thugs cut bits off his flesh, cut his fingers and ears, and burned him with acid.
The autopsy reportedly revealed an incision of between six and seven inches on Ilan’s left cheek.
On the final day, Youssef Fofana, the leader of the Barbarians, slit Ilan's throat, twice, and poured a flammable liquid on him to try to set him on fire. But this reportedly did not burn him to death, because Ilan walked for perhaps one hour trying still to find a way to live. Source
I will post something on Ilan Halimi every day until the 13. February, day of his death, to get a tiny inkling of how long his torture lasted.
Extract from a speech by Björn Höcke MP of the AFD (Alternative für Deutschland) presented on the 12. 11. 2016, a few days after the election victory of Donald Trump (8.11.2016).
Mr. Höcke, on behalf of the AFD, invites Donald Trump spontaneously to Germany, while Angela Merkel, whose government shamelessly contributed to the Election campaign (in words and dollars) of Hillary Clinton, barely managed a thin-lipped "congratulation" in the direction of the President Elect, while hectoring him about how he should conduct himself as the POTUS.
And here is what the new President of the United States thinks of the media:
Watching the Australian tax-payer funded Al Jazeera Branches, the ABC and the SBS, and even their poorer commercial counterparts, I am not one to disagree with President Donald Trump.
"...Before leaving office, US President Barack Obama prepares to release terrorists referred to as "Nuclear weapons of the jihad", some of al -Qaeda's most notorious hate preachers and "top explosive experts", to Saudi Arabia."
Orders from Obama's "King" ?
(a picture = a thousand words)
Another "Thousand Words" about the race-baiting fortunately-soon-to-be-EX-POTUS:
+ another 1000 words
I think that Obama's actions were due neither to incompetence nor do I think that he is a windbag. I fear it's much darker than that and I hope that we will get to know the true motivations behind Obama's actions and attitudes rather sooner than later. Meanwhile, as the man said: "When the consequences of incompetence are the same as the consequences of malice, it is wiser to assume malice...."
It is reported that Angela Merkel contributed very generously, (raiding the piggy banks of the long-suffering German tax payers who were not asked nor told about it) to the so-called "Clinton Foundation".
Australians would say: "This guy cracks me up" !!! I just love him !!!
! and this one is one of his best ever, I think !
This Poster was produced by the "Identitäre Bewegung", a pan-European Youth movement that started in France a decade ago. It's THEIR future that is sold out cheaply here! And, of course, they get the labels starting at "Extreeeeeeeme Right Wing" all the way to the boringly predictable "Nazi". They are neither! The latest of their always non-violent actions was to go to the top of the "Brandenburger Gate" in Berlin. THEY are "ON the official Police radar" while certain Jihadists who drive Trucks into folk celebrating the 14. July in France, or enjoying themselves with their children on a Christmas Market in Berlin seem to have taken up residence UNDER the "official Police radar".

Victor Orbán is one of the very few real political Leaders today who, unlike most of the others, is not a mere shiver in search of a spine. I admire his often raw courage in the face of the pack and all his speeches are worth listening to. This is his latest with English sub-titles.
Go East, young man, Go East !!!
And à propos "flash mob" : there is obviously more, much more talent in Moscow than in London these days -( Psssst, Theresa May, DO something about it, you have got it in you ! )
H/T for this goes to my friend Yucki from VladTepes
"…The world as a whole, not just the occasional liberal brat, will continue being disappointed in Israel for not having magically and non-violently resolved the dilemma of people shooting at it no matter what it does. After all there's already a book titled, "How to Make Peace in the Middle East in Six Months or Less" on the shelf. Why not just read it and do what it says?"
Here is a direct message to the sad clowns that are sitting around, as we speak, in an onanist circle they call in total absence of self-awareness the "Paris Peace Summit". It is an outstanding article from the brilliant Sultan Knish Blog by one of my very favorite writers, Daniel Greenfield. I am reproducing it here in full, only the bolds are mine.
“Is the two-state solution dead?”
The two-state solution, a perverse euphemism for carving an Islamic terror state out of the land of Israel and the living flesh of her people, is in trouble. The solution, which has solved nothing except the shortage of graves in Israel and Muslim terrorists in the Middle East, is the object of grave concern by the professionally concerned from Foggy Bottom to Fifth Avenue.
Obama set up his betrayal of Israel at the UN to “save” the two-state solution from Trump. The media warns that David Friedman, Trump’s pick for ambassador, is so pro-Israel that he’ll kill the “solution.”
But you can’t kill something that was never alive.
The two-state solution is a zombie. It can’t be dead because it never lived. It was a rotting shambling corpse of a diplomatic process. If you stood downwind of the proceedings, it looked alive.
Up close there was only blood and death.
Like the Holy Roman Empire, the two-state solution didn’t solve anything and it wasn’t in the business of creating two states. Not unless you count a Hamas state in Gaza and a Fatah state in the West Bank.
What problem was the two-state solution solving?
It wasn’t the problem of terrorism. Turning over land, weapons and power to a bunch of terrorists made for more terrorism. It’s no coincidence that Islamic terrorism worldwide shot up around the same time.
The consequences of giving terrorists their own country to play with were as predictable as taking a power drill to the bottom of a boat or running a toaster in a bubble bath. The least likely outcome of handing guns to homicidal sociopaths was peace. The most likely was murder. And that was as intended.
The problem that the two-state solution was solving was the existence of Israel; the Jewish Problem.
Spray the two-state solution over an irritating country full of Jews who managed to survive multiple Muslim genocides. Apply and wait for as long as it takes until the Jewish Problem is solved again.
The two-state solution didn’t end the violence. It turned it up to eleven. It didn’t even create a Palestinian state. But it did a moderately decent job of solving the Jewish Problem by killing Jews.
It killed thousands of them. It filled cemeteries, ethnically cleansed towns and villages, and brought war to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv for the first time in a generation. It turned terror from an aberration into a routine. It made death into a way of life for the Muslim population controlled by the terrorists and the Jewish population targeted by them. It endangered the existence of Israel for the first time since 1973.
The two-state solution isn’t dead. It is death.
The “solution” has turned children into orphans and left parents weeping at the graves of their daughters. It has sown hilltops with dragon’s teeth of rockets and sent cities fleeing to bomb shelters. It has ushered in an endless age of wars against terrorists who can’t be utterly defeated because that would destroy the two-state solution.
And it can’t get any better. Only worse.
Death is the only thing that the two-state solution has ever accomplished. That’s the only thing that it was meant to accomplish. It’s all that it will ever accomplish.
The two-state solution is a zombie. Its existence has no purpose except death. As long as it goes on moving, it will go on destroying. But, like a zombie, the two-state solution is weak. It’s a slow and shambling thing. It’s absurdly easy to escape it. The only way it can catch you is if you let it.
In the nineties, the two-state solution looked like a living thing. There were negotiations and big plans. There were ceremonies and Nobel prizes being handed out like party favors. There were equally big bombings and mangled body parts smeared along sidewalks and storefronts. But it was easier to listen to another round of peace songs and pay no attention to the ghastly carnage.
But by the oughts, the Muslim settler population in ’67 Israel, for whose benefit the two-state solution had been crafted, made the same “democratic” decision that the Egyptians and other Arab Spring countries would later make. They chose the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic law that demands that non-Muslims must surrender and be ruled by Muslims as before. Or be massacred and subjugated.
And then the zombie solution began to rot from the head.
The two-state solution was kept alive by pretending that Hamas had never won. An illegal takeover by Fatah, the “good” Islamic terrorists who were willing to pretend to negotiate in exchange for enough foreign aid from the United States, led to two Islamic terror states, one in Gaza and one in the West Bank. These states occasionally tried to form a united government, but couldn’t even get along with each other. Never mind getting along with Israel.
The two-state solution had become a ghoulish joke.
Some two-state solutionists urged embracing Hamas. A crazed collection of leftist activist “Rabbis” even signed a petition calling for outreach to the Muslim Brotherhood terror state despite a charter which called for exterminating all the Jews. Kerry aided a Code Pink mission to Hamas.
Most two-state solutionists decided to pretend that nothing had gone wrong. The zombie solution was in the best of health. Pay no attention to the stench of decay and the way it keeps trying to eat you.
They wanted to strengthen the “good” Islamic terror state in the West Bank to discredit the “bad” Islamic terror state in Gaza. Anyone who opposed the “good” terror state was accused of trying to kill the “two-state solution” which had already killed more people than the average natural disaster.
But then the “good” terror state stopped even pretending to negotiate.
Since the terrorists wouldn’t negotiate, Obama and Kerry just propped up the corpse of the two-state solution on their shoulders, Weekend at Bernie’s style, and tried to pretend it was still alive by negotiating with Israel on behalf of the terrorists without telling either Israel or the terrorists.
But the “good” terrorists rejected the unsolicited deal that Obama and Kerry got for them.
Obama and Kerry solved that problem the way that the solutionists had been solving it for decades. They blamed Israel. The insane logic of the two-state solution demanded it.
An Islamic terror state is the “solution” offered by the two-state solution. If you blame the terrorists, you undermine the credibility of the solution. If you admit the terrorists don’t even want to negotiate, you kill the two-state solution. And then how will you justify destroying Israel?
The great two-state solution began incrementally with an autonomous territory of disarmed terrorists. This fantasy led to a two-state solution of heavily armed terrorists inside Israel. The next stage is a one-state solution in which Israel will be forced to take in every single Muslim claiming to be a refugee.
And you can’t get from one stage to the next without blaming Israel when the previous stage fails. As it was always intended to. Each planned failure advances a more extreme incarnation of the “solution”.
All the way up to the final solution.
Each failure has to be blamed on Israel to justify an even more extreme solution. Each attack on Israel, like Obama’s UN treachery, is justified as a defense of the two-state solution. As long as the lie that the two-state solution is a pro-Israel policy lives, it can be weaponized as a pro-Israel attack on Israel.
In its terminal stage, the solution zombie will kill Israel and then die. Unless we kill it first.
The two-state solution hasn’t solved anything. It is the problem. And now it’s time to solve the problem of the two-state solution. Like the rest of the Jihad, the two-state solution is not a potent threat. It is a lie that we have become too weak to resist.
Lies die when we see them for what they are.
Like the old Monty Python bit, the two-state solution is a dead parrot. The shopkeepers of the press who keep trying to sell us its stiff unmoving body insist that the peace process is just pining for the Norwegian fjords of the Oslo peace accords. Feed it some more of Israel and it’ll fly back to life.
It’s never worked before, but there’s always an Nth time.
Lies are zombies. They are mimicries of the truth that feed off what we wish to be true.
The two-state solution is a parasite that thrives by feeding off our hopes and fears, our optimism on the one hand and our inability to imagine an alternative on the other. When we see the lie for what it is, when we turn our hopes and fears to sustaining what we truly care about, then it will fall.
The two-state solution however never existed. There will only be one state in Israel. The question is whether it will be a Jewish State or an Islamic terror state.
This has been in my "to post" folder for 4 months, but, although much blood has flown down the Tigris meanwhile, it is still as valid as then, if not more so. I wrote then:
I shall refer to them as "Merkel Muslims" although others call them "refugees", "asylum seekers", "invaders", "illegals", "rapefugees" and then some. They seem to be organised ......in some way....... by some eminence grise in the shadows? They all seem equipped with the latest Iphones and many are dressed better than Westerners who welcome them.
But what is the real motivation of those million+ muslims that have flooded Europe over the recent past - and are still streaming in? Originally, when they really came from Syria one theory which made sense to me went something like this: "Those behind the war in Syria, whose aim is to get rid of the Syrian President Assad, (I point the finger at Obama and his little acolytes like Hollande, Merkel etc.) are trying to lure away all the young men who have the potential to fight as soldiers for the embattled Syrian President".
This made sense to me because, although the propagandist media were flooding us with "women, children and families pictures", less manipulated images showed the overwhelming majority of these "Merkel Muslims" to be males in fighting age.
But, when these mostly Male Merkel Muslims of fighting age that kept flooding Europe started to come from increasingly different countries (eg only 1 % of the 10,000+ in the Jungle of Calais were Syrians) this theory bit the dust as did the murderous dreams of our corrupt political leaders who were aiming fore the trifecta of sending Assad to join Saddam Hussein and Colonel Gaddafi.
And then I came across this most astoundingly intelligent analysis I have yet heard.
"...[This is].... an interview with László Földi, a Hungarian intelligence specialist. What Mr. Földi has to say is exactly correct, as far as I can tell. His analysis is widely assumed to be true by Counterjihad activists, but you will never see such a lucid explanation on any television program west of the former Iron Curtain..."

As a child I was told never to accept sweets from a stranger, because "they are poisoned and you will die if you do". When I got to the age where my faith in the absolute truth of my parents' word started to wobble a little I thought, "why would a stranger want to poison me?" I did not see what could possibly be in it for the stranger. And so I started to rebel a little. Our mountain village attracted some tourists who often would distribute lollies to us village kids and I joined the eager queue of the little gourmands. None of us ever died. (well, not of the sweets in any case). But that was many many years before the story told in Gates of Vienna today. If this reliable and respected site was not of the high calibre it is, I might have dismissed the story as a horror tale told to frighten the gullible.
The author is Zsolt Bayer, a popular Hungarian journalist and opinion writer whose translated material has featured several times already on the Gates of Viennawhere the story (below) was published today. CrossWare is the translator of this op-ed from Napi Migráns (Daily Migrants):
"Will We Get Used to This Slowly?
by Zsolt Bayer
December 14, 2016
“Mohammed wanted to rape little girls from kindergarten then poison them”
Essen — 17-year-old Mohammed and Yusuf, who was the same age, decided to express their gratitude toward the German people for their hospitality in a very special way. Not only did they try to blow up a Sikh temple in Essen, but they planned to sell poisoned ice cream to children in kindergarten, whom — if Allah willed it — they would also rape.
The staggering plan of the extremist teenagers — organised into the ranks of the Islamic State — was brought to light by the German authorities after a bomb exploded in a Sikh temple in Essen. Fortunately, the explosion resulted in injuries to only four people. However, it probably gave Mohammed and Yusuf the idea that in order to increase the destruction they should sell poisoned ice cream to young children in preschool, then subsequently rape them, and finally carry out suicide attacks in a kindergarten.
Given the fact that after the bombing of the temple the two teenagers were caught by the authorities, the plan did not ultimately become a tragic reality. However, from the correspondence between the two boys, the authorities found out that Mohammed worked as an ice cream vendor, and had special insight to how to dose the dessert efficiently with deadly poison to kill small children. He wrote a letter to Yusuf asking for permission and theological guidance, wanting to know whether, based on Sharia law, it would be OK to give arsenic-laced ice cream to the kids, and maybe even rape some little girls?
Mohammed Yusuf and are currently awaiting judgement by the German government while they are still maintained on taxpayers’ money. The charges of course include religiously-motivated attacks. According to press reports, Yusuf has very much regretted his actions and would like to work together with the German authorities.
Are we slowly getting used to this, or are we finally going to do something about it? Are we going clear out all these animals once and for all?"
I have stopped believing that this or that event, big and dramatic though it may be - Paris, Nice, Cologne, Berlin etc - will bring the big awakening of the herd, or a change of direction – let alone revolution; physical comfort has softened us too much…..but there are images, pictures and moments that get to me and mark me, personally, for ever – this one will be one of them.
So far, Adolf Erdogan and Angela Merkel's other friends have obviously not succeeded in fully decapitating the famous German sense of Humour ;) enjoy it while it lasts....
Thanks to Vlad for the video and to Gates of Vienna for the script and more details.
