(Daily Mail) Four of France’s most revered cartoonists – Stephane Charbonnier, Georges Wolinski, Bernard ‘Tignous’ Verlhac and Jean Cabut – were among 12 people executed by masked gunmen in Paris today at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Two masked men brandishing Kalashnikovs burst into the magazine’s headquarters this morning, opening fire on staff, also shooting dead contributor Bernard Maris, 68.
Police officers were involved in a gunfight with the ‘calm and highly disciplined men’, who escaped in a hijacked car, speeding away towards east Paris. (more…)

(Via Gates of Vienna) On Christmas Eve, in the Vesterbro district of Copenhagen, a group of teenaged culture-enrichers set upon a young Danish couple and beat them severely for no apparent reason. The young woman, Nanna Skovman, suffered serious damage to her face and head.
She decided to post the story of what happened on Facebook, and from there it made it into the newspapers and Internet news sites. The story is currently “most read” on both of the main tabloids BT and Ekstra Bladet, as well as on the TV2 news site.
Below is the Facebook entry on which the news stories are based. Many thanks to Haensel Klein for the translation:
Christmas Eve. The day which has joy, roast pork and presents at the centre. But that wasn’t to be for me and Mads. I’d like to tell you how our Christmas was turned into a nightmare.

After getting out of a taxi, we’re walking along our street when a young second-generation immigrant approaches us. He is very unappealing and clearly wants conflict. Without any reason at all, he hits Mads on the head with a bottle. Mads defends himself, but now two or three more second-generation immigrants come running towards us along with a Somali. They are coming out of the basement of a building carrying the kind of chain locks used for scooters and motorcycles. The are attacking Mads together, kicking him and hitting him with the chains. Mads screams that I must run away. (read more)

Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley was the 28 year old radical supporter of the FTP movement who assassinated two New York Police officers.  Bassem Masri is a Palestinian antagonist and principal member of the Ferguson “F*ck the Police (FTP) movement – currently in New York.  Jessica Lane Chambers was a 19-year-old girl murdered in Courtland Mississippi.

In a bizarre twist to a complex dynamic they could well be connected.
♦ One of the overlooked aspects of Ismaaiyl Brinsley the New York police murderer was what was found in his pockets after he killed himself on a New York subway platform following the cold blooded murder of the officers.  He was carrying dozens of $100 bills.
How does an unemployed essentially homeless, “transient” character like Brinsley gain such significant amounts of cash.   “Where did he get his money, who does he hang out with?   [he] doesn’t seem to have been employed,” Police Commishioner Bill Bratton asked curiously when appearing on CBS’s show This Morning.
♦ Similarly Bassem Masri, a professional agitator from the Saint Louis area, has no job – but can spend months leading angry, often extremely vulgar, tirades against various Police Departments; and still have money to fly, travel, pay his expenses, eat, etc.  It was not long ago when Masri put $15,000 cash up for his own bond in Saint Louis -after his arrest for spitting on a police officer- and hired a private attorney.
Where does he get his money?
When we first began looking into the Jessica Chambers murder, something didn’t seem right.   Within 72 hours it was brutally obvious something was very odd about Courtland Mississippi early December. (more…)

Many people were wondering how the U.S. Marshalls office was so quick to join the murder investigation of Jessica Lane Chambers considering the U.S. Marshalls rarely, if ever, join murder cases that are not connected to federal officials or federal threats therein. Perhaps this FBI release explains their involvement.
As elvis, walter, czar and others had previously stated, the Chambers murder would provide a convenient cover for an ongoing regional investigation that was only indirectly connected. Occam’s Razor would indicate they were correct. The sunlight upon the Panola County Yemen angle may indeed have accidentally exposed something already being watched.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (FOX13) – – The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Memphis Division is warning police officers about a threat to blow up the Memphis-Arkansas Bridge sometime in December. FOX13 News obtained the FBI bulletin sent to Mid-South Law Enforcement agencies warning about a possible Islamic State terror plot targeting the I-55 Bridge.
“According to an anonymous complainant, as of December 2014, ISIS instructed an ISIS member, a presumed USPER in Memphis, with a direct order to blow up the Memphis-Arkansas bridge on an unknown date, activating ISIS terror cells in the United States,” the warning reads. (more…)

“OFFICERS DOWN ….”
Developing ….
Local journalists are reporting that the gunman who executed two NYC police officers as they sat in their patrol car has been identified as 28 year old fugitive Ismaaiyl Brinsley, who allegedly resided in Baltimore, and had traveled to New York City with the specific intent to kill police officers as a type of race based hate fueled twisted “payback” to avenge the recent deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.
Brinsley is reported to have approached the two officers as they were sitting in their patrol car in the notorious crime ridden Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn, New York and began firing rounds into the vehicle before fleeing on foot to the closest subway station where he later committed suicide.  The two officers were transported for Woodhull Medical for treatment, but sadly, both had lost their battle for life as of 5 pm tonight.

(Via Telegraph) AS HIS eyes started to close around 2am today, the hostages inside Lindt Cafe in Martin Place realised this may be their best chance to escape their armed captor.

After 17 hours, fake sheik Man Haron Monis began to nod off when the 12 remaining hostages staged what in police parlance is a “bomb burst”. They all ran together for the exit.
In those vital last seconds, Monis “came too and realised what was going on,” sources close to the siege have revealed to The Daily Telegraph.
With his shotgun already in his hands, he began shooting. (more…)

Mr. Haron Monis is the Muslim terrorist who took control of the Cafe’ in Sydney Australia earlier today. In addition to Monis, two people were killed when police stormed the cafe’ after a 17 hours hostage standoff.  Mr. Monis has a rather odd history in/around the area, and reports are surfacing that his intention was to prove Islam is the religion of peace.
(14 December 2014) – MONIS: Islam is the religion of peace, that’s why Muslims fight against the oppression and terrorism of USA and its allies including UK and Australia. If we stay silent towards the criminals we cannot have a peaceful society.

The more you fight with crime, the more peaceful you are. Islam wants peace on the Earth, that’s why Muslims want to stop terrorism of America and its allies. When you speak out against crime you have taken one step towards peace. (link)
