Stabbings in Finland, Germany, Taiwan and Russia in two days

Re: Stabbings in Finland, Germany and Russia in two days

some eye witness allegedly saw a Blackwater/Craft tattoo/insignia on the man. This is still unconfirmed but it is highly unlikely Finnish MSM will reveal or confirm any of these other allegations.

Where did you read this? Only source i found was this "NWO-blog guy", who mostly posts disinformation and makes all kind of claims without any evidence - this time also.

Though according to eye witnesses from the mosque in Turku it's true that he has huge tattoo in his arm. They didn't specify what kind of tattoo.

On the Finnish front, the authorities are now saying that they want to put the new surveillance law on the 'fast track' for approval. "They" have been drooling to get this law approved, but so far most parties have been against it. Besides, to get it through, they need to make changes to the constitution, because it will violate some of the basic individual rights of citizens. But now, voila, almost all parties are in favor!

Yes, this has been on the agenda for some time and now they got the perfect excuse to push the law. Finnish Security Intelligence Service Supo came forward and said it had received tip earlier this year that Abderrahman Mechkah, the identified knife attacker, "appeared to be radicalized and was interested in extreme ideology."

Few months ago Supo raised its assessment of terrorist threat from "low" to "elevated":

_https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/security_police_raises_finlands_terrorist_threat_level_to_elevated/9669067

In a brief report on the new assessment in English, Supo said that the most significant terrorist threat in Finland is posed by "individual actors or small groups motivated by radical Islamist propaganda or terrorist organisations encouraging them."

Re: Stabbings in Finland, Germany and Russia in two days

One eyewitness describes the attacker (translation from Finnish):

The behavior of attacker was found odd by civilian helpers and police who were at the scene.

The suspected young man didn't say a word when he was catched and when lying on the ground, but instead smiled and looked in front of him with empty stare in his eyes.

"the man didn't say a word and didn't complain even though he had been shot and was being handcuffed and handled by police. It was really strange. Police said that he was either in shock or under the influence of some drug. He also didn't yell anything when my friends were chasing him all the way from the marketplace."

Re: Stabbings in Finland, Germany and Russia in two days

What I've noticed recently is the increasing number of horrific acid attacks in the UK, particularly in London. Probably nothing to do with Greenbaum types 'going off' early and perhaps a reflection of societal breakdown and of some individuals 'losing it' or/and low grade psychopaths becoming more embolden. The last 2 to 3 years has seen a sharp rise in such incidents, details below - (...)

At this crazy rate it may be more effective to divide these attacks by choice of weapon (van, knife, etc.) rather than location

Here's one more from London:

Man with 4ft sword arrested in Buckingham Palace terrorist incident shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ – police

https://www.rt.com/uk/400977-london-terrorist-attack-police/

London Police say the man who attempted a sword attack outside Buckingham Palace repeatedly shouted “Allahu Akbar” before he was taken down by officers with pepper spray.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that Friday’s events outside the palace of the British monarchy is being treated as a terrorist incident.

A 26-year-old man from the Luton area has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, and is being held on terrorist charges, according to a Met Police statement.

“Officers from the Counter Terrorism Command are now investigating and searches are being carried out in the Luton area today [Saturday],” said Commander Dean Haydon, of the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command.

“We believe the man was acting alone and we are not looking for other suspects at this stage. While we cannot speculate on what the man was intending to do - this will be determined during the course of the investigation - it is only right that we investigate this a terrorist incident at this time.”

The terrorist threat in the UK remains high, following three major attacks in London and Manchester recently.

However, it is still difficult to stop terrorist attacks in the UK because “93 percent of police officers in the UK are unarmed,” David Lowe, a terrorism expert, told RT, adding that the British authorities need to think about increasing “the number of armed officers in locations like that area around Buckingham Palace as well as in other areas that have been identified as subject to a high risk of attack.”

He went on to say that having “24-hour surveillance” to prevent such attacks is “physically impossible” as “there are a large number of police officers, who would have to be engaged in that.”

Lowe said terrorism prevention is “about all of us working together,” adding that there is a terrorist hotline in the UK and the number of calls to it “increased by 100 percent since the attacks, because people realize that passing on any form of information can be of use.”

In June, eight people were killed and scores more injured when a van was deliberately driven into pedestrians on London Bridge. The three perpetrators fled into Borough Market, Southwark to carry out a stabbing spree where they were later shot dead by armed police.

At the same day, there was also a knife attack in Brussels:

On the 24th of August there was this news item - https://www.sott.net/article/360055-Death-in-Venice-Mayor-says-that-anyone-shouting-Allahu-Akbar-will-be-shot-by-snipers

Venice's right-wing mayor has ordered cops to shoot ANYONE who shouts 'Allahu Akbar' - rather than risk a terror attack .

The phrase in Arabic for 'God is greatest' has been shouted in multiple terrorist incidents across the continent, but is more commonly harmlessly used by Muslims during prayers as a reminder of God's significance in their lives.

The Times reports that mayor of Venice Luigi Brugnaro has reportedly decided its an unacceptable phrase to be shouted in the city's St Marks Square.

He claimed Venice is safer than Barcelona - where 14 people died being run down by a van last week.

Speaking at a conference in Rimini, north east Italy, he further revealed the extraordinary order he has given to armed police at one of the most popular tourist attractions in Europe.

Brugnaro was applauded by delegates when he said: "In contrast with Barcelona, where they had not set up protection, we keep our guard up.

"If anyone runs into St Mark's Square shouting 'Allahu Akhbar', we will take him down," he continued.

Priming the public for what was to transpire shortly afterward?

Lo and behold, the very next day on the 25th of August, a total of 3 knife attacks occur ( London, Brussels and in Spain) with the perpetrator, right on cue, shouting 'Allahu Akhbar'

https://www.sott.net/article/360164-Man-detained-on-suspicion-of-attacking-two-London-police-officers-near-Buckingham-Palace-Update-terrorist-incident-as-man-shouted-Allahu-Akbar

https://www.sott.net/article/360161-Knife-wielding-man-shot-in-Brussels-after-attack-on-soldiers-Update-Prosecutors-launch-twin-probes

According to RTBF, the attacker was a Somalian man, who shouted "Allahu Akbar" during his assault.

https://www.sott.net/article/357334-Man-shouting-Allahu-Akbar-attacks-Spanish-police-officers-with-a-knife

"A man entered the border post and once inside, pulled out a large knife and confronted [police] shouting 'Allahu Akbar' [God is Great], slightly injuring a policeman," Irene Flores, a spokeswoman for the Spanish government's representative office in Melilla, told AFP.

A spokesman for Spanish police also confirmed the incident to the news agency.

Did these individuals actually scream 'Allahu Akbar' or was that 'fact' added later to the official narrative. Perhaps both scenarios were involved?

Anyway whatever ever happened, the least one can say, is that this looks planned and coordinated, osit.

Or is it all just coincidence?

Me thinks maybe not.

Another acid attack took place in London today:

6 injured in east London after acid attack near Stratford shopping center: https://www.rt.com/uk/404338-six-injured-in-acid-attack-london-stratford/

London police say they are investigating several attacks after “a noxious substance” was sprayed by a group of males near a shopping center in Stratford. Witnesses of the latest attack describe a victim having apparent acid burns.
“Police were called just before 20.00hrs on Saturday, 23 September to the area around Stratford Centre in Broadway E15 to reports of a group of males spraying what was believed to be a noxious substance,” the Metropolitan Police said in a statement on its website.

It said police in Newham are investigating “a number of attacks in Stratford where a noxious substance was used.”

One man has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. The incident is not being treated as terror-related, however.

“A number of people have been reported injured at different locations - believed to be six people. We await further details,” the police said. "Officers remain on the scene. A cordon is in place. Enquiries continue."

Meanwhile, witnesses told media they saw a group of people having an argument, and then at least one victim whose face was seemingly disfigured by acid burns.

“There were cuts around his eyes and he was trying to chuck water into them,” a witness called Hossen was quoted by The Guardian, describing a victim and his friend trying to “wash acid off his face” in a bathroom.

Videos shared on social media appear to show victims being treated for their injuries inside the train station, which is located next to the shopping centre.

London Ambulance Service and London Fire Brigade are at the scene.

London has recently seen a surge in acid attacks, which medics have described as an “epidemic.”

Acid has been used in strings of muggings and vehicle stealing attempts, as well as vicious revenge attacks. Muslims in particular have been receiving threats of acid attacks, including women wearing a burqa.

There happened two other knife attacks yesterday. One in Marseille, France and one in Edmonton, Canada. And a shooting in Las Vegas at a music festival today (forum topic here).
