Left-Wing Activists Rush To Defend Islamic Migrants After Attack On Berlin Pride Parade

Is "suicidal empathy" the real cause of the western world's immigration crisis?  Or, is the political left completely devoid of empathy?  Is the multicultural agenda so important to them that they're willing to sacrifice their own people to protect it? 

The problem of "intersectionality" and engineered mass immigration is that progressive ideals are not shared or respected by most cultures.  Leftists envision a sweeping coalition of socialist and minority groups joining forces to destroy the "evil colonial west", but they seem to be ignoring the fact that foreign elements entering Europe and the US hate liberals as much as they hate conservatives.   

This might not be stupidity - it might be a calculated risk on the part of woke leaders who are happy to throw a few of their "comrades" to the third world wolves in the service of the "greater good."  A common tactic of Antifa and related organizations in the face of a terror attack or criminal event that makes them look bad is to counter by diverting the public discourse.  The pattern is undeniable and undoubtedly well planned. 

For example, public information on the assassination of Charlie Kirk was immediately diverted with false claims that the shooting suspect (Tyler Robinson) is "right wing".  When that narrative fell apart, they fabricated an elaborate conspiracy theory blaming Israel, Kirk's own organization and his wife. 

As it turns out, Robinson confessed to his family members and his transgender partner that he committed the murder.  The fraudulent theories have been destroyed by the evidence, but the mission was already accomplished - Leftists and their allies were able to derail public outrage and avoid retribution.

When a minority or migrant commits a heinous crime against a white person, activist groups organize protest events against "whiteness", as if white people are liable for the actions of minorities.   

When attacks on LGBT groups are committed by Muslim suspects, progressives often step in and protest:  Not against Islam, but against western conservatives as the cause of the violence.  The slaughter at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida is often associated with US conservative movements; the fact that the perpetrator (Omar Mateen) was Muslim is completely washed over.

Someone else is always the culprit and leftists and their "allies" always escape scrutiny.

Now, we see the same pattern in Germany where a Muslim (Abdul Ballout) was shot and killed after ramming a vehicle through a pride parade, killing one person and injuring 29 others.  Leftists are desperate to divert attention away from the Islamic issue and they are brazenly blaming conservatives for the attack. 

The organizers of the parade have made a public statement admonishing anyone who points out that the attack once again proves that Muslim immigration into Europe is a problem.  They assert that the attempted mass murder should not be used to "create division" and at no point did they cite Islam as a potential motivating ideology.

"People are trying to divide our society and set some people against others. As the CSD in Berlin, we will not allow this."

The organisers of Berlin Pride say yesterday's attack must not be used "for political ends".

Activists have rushed to social media to scapegoat the right wing.  In many cases, simply acknowledging the connections between constant attacks in Europe and the mass immigration of third worlders is treated as a trigger for further violence.  In other words, the more conservatives point out the source of the threat, the more responsible they are for the violence against LGBT groups. 

As expected the deranged left wing liberal blames White men for the Islamic terror attack at the Berlin pride event

Of course, Christians in Europe are also the regular targets of attack by Muslim migrants.  Numerous Christmas festivals in Germany have been cancelled in recent years for this very reason.  Muslims keep driving trucks into them and killing people.  But that's of no concern to progressives, and neither is the murder of their fellow activists.  They simply cannot allow conservatives to be right about immigration.

“Hearing the news that a car — a man in a car [drove into the crowd]… the first thing I thought was: ‘Hopefully it’s not a Kanake (Muslim foreigner)… hopefully it’s a Christian white person.’  But it wasn’t.  That’s where intersectionality comes into play again. We don’t all fight the same battles, but we’re there for each other in moments like these. And that’s beautiful.”

That's right, whenever these attacks occur, leftists are hoping it was a white conservatives behind the wheel or on the trigger, but this is rarely the case.  When it's one of their own or a migrant, they call for unity and intersectionality and shift the blame. 

It's obvious that the multicultural agenda is more important to progressive leaders than the LGBT agenda.  If the woke left actually gets what they want (which is total invasion of the west by the third world) many of their supposed principles will face elimination by those same migrants.  Leftists don't care.  What they want is to burn the west to the ground.  The ends justify the means.

If This Isn't Treason, What Is?

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity News,

A newly revealed internal memo from the final days of the Biden administration exposes a calculated scheme to grant de facto amnesty to more than 3 million foreign nationals through Temporary Protected Status expansions, explicitly designed to block President Trump from carrying out the mass deportations the American people voted for.

Senator Eric Schmitt obtained the document, which laid out options to shield vast numbers of Guatemalans, Ecuadorians, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans and others from removal.

The plan aimed to force everything through activist judges and trap the incoming administration in years of litigation. As one post put it bluntly, this was a last-minute bid to protect foreign invaders before Trump took office.

? HOLY CRAP. A bombshell new memo exposes Biden officials in their final days plotted to grant DE FACTO AMNESTY to 3 MILLION FOREIGN INVADERS via TPS, in a last-minute bid to block President Trump from deporting them, forcing everything through activist judges

The memo, dated around January 2025 though erroneously marked 2024 in places, estimated potential new TPS eligibility for roughly 1.5 million Guatemalans, 600,000 Ecuadorians, 464,000 Nicaraguans, 455,000 Venezuelans, plus smaller groups from Ukraine, Sudan and Afghanistan.

The total exceeded 3.1 million people. Senior advisors recommended creating 2.1 million new TPS designees in the administration's closing weeks, even while acknowledging that TPS applications take six months to process.

Schmitt commented, "My investigation uncovered that the Lame Duck Biden White House tried to keep millions of illegal aliens in our country by abusing the 'Temporary' Protected Status program."

"After the American people voted for President Trump's promise to end the TPS scam, the Biden administration tried to subvert the will of the American people," he continued, adding "This was mass amnesty-by-decree. America is for Americans, and it is our home - it is not a permanent refugee camp."

Schmitt further urged that "Biden tried to turn TPS into a 3.1-million-person deportation shield, protect Tren de Aragua members, and trap President Trump in years of litigation."

The most disturbing part, Schmitt noted, was the push to create millions of new designees so late in the term. "Luckily, that never happened and we have been deporting Ecuadorians and Guatemalans."

The memo itself referenced past court battles. It noted that prior federal litigation during Trump's first term had successfully halted efforts to terminate TPS for countries including Sudan, Nicaragua, Haiti, El Salvador, Nepal and Honduras, largely because of incomplete factual records.

It suggested the Biden team was prepared for more of the same under the new administration. Stakeholders, including a list of Democratic senators, had requested new designations for Ecuador and Guatemala in particular.

One week after the memo's circulation, the Biden administration extended TPS protections for nearly a million noncitizens. The full 3-million-plus plan was not fully executed, but the intent was clear: leave Trump with an even larger protected population and a thicket of lawsuits.

The contrast with what Trump has already delivered could not be sharper. Under this administration, migrant encounters at the southwest border have collapsed to historic lows not seen in more than half a century.

Fiscal year 2025 recorded just 237,538 Border Patrol encounters - the lowest annual total since 1970 - after years of Biden-era peaks above 2 million. Monthly southwest border apprehensions have stayed under 10,000 for consecutive months, with June 2026 at 9,848, a 94 percent drop from the Biden monthly average and 96 percent below the previous peak.

Fourteen straight months of zero releases by Border Patrol have turned the border from a free-for-all into a controlled line. Would-be crossers are staying home because the message is finally clear: you will not be released into the interior.

Trump Administration senior official Stephen Miller has recently made plain that every single Haitian migrant is going back to Haiti under Trump. The administration is not playing games with "temporary" status that somehow becomes permanent.

We have seen the dire consequences of the open-borders years stacking up. Most recently, an illegal alien was alleged to be the ringleader in a terror plot targeting government officials at the UFC White House event.

The real price of this mass illegal immigration is measured in American lives destroyed. Young women, fathers, toddlers, ordinary citizens going about their days have paid the ultimate price because politicians and bureaucrats treated the border as a suggestion and enforcement as optional.

The pattern repeats without mercy.

 

In one case, an illegal alien bit a portion of a toddler's face off and ate it. The horror is almost beyond comprehension, yet it occurred on American soil under policies that prioritized foreign nationals over citizens.

Biden officials wanted to facilitate more of this.

 

Democrats empowered sick criminal illegal alien predators to prey on women and children. The record is clear and damning.

Even CNN has been forced to concede that Democrats are now cooked on immigration. The public saw the chaos, the crime, the costs, and rejected it.

These are the predictable results of deliberate policy choices that flooded communities with unvetted people, stretched law enforcement thin, and treated American citizens as an afterthought.

TPS was never meant to become a permanent shield for millions. "Temporary" was the operative word. Turning it into a mass-protection racket against the explicit will of voters crosses a line that should alarm anyone who still believes sovereignty matters.

The memo's authors understood the stakes. They knew Trump intended to end the TPS scam. They prepared litigation strategies in advance. They calculated the numbers. They recommended action in the lame-duck window.

That is not ordinary bureaucratic inertia. That is an attempt to lock in the results of open-borders policies after the public rejected them at the ballot box.

President Trump's team is already moving to reverse course. Deportations are underway. Extensions are being challenged and terminated where the law allows. The Supreme Court has cleared paths in key cases. The era of treating TPS as a backdoor amnesty is over for those serious about restoring the rule of law.

Mass deportations must be supercharged, not slowed by leftover bureaucratic landmines. The people who wrote and advanced this memo sought to aid and abet the continued presence of millions who have no right to remain.

If that does not qualify as a profound betrayal of the constitutional order and the citizens it exists to protect, the word has lost its meaning.

Intern At NATO Military Headquarters In Belgium Faces Spying Charges

Belgian authorities arrested an intern working inside NATO's military headquarters, accusing her of spying.

The intern was working at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe, (SHAPE), in Mons, Belgium, where NATO commanders plan operations and coordinate the alliance's response to threats across the continent.

"A Canadian national of Chinese origin, an intern at SHAPE, was served with an arrest warrant on Friday 24 July 2026," the The Belgian Federal Prosecutor's Office said in a statement. "She is suspected of spying on behalf of a third country and of being a member of a criminal organization."

Investigators withheld her name and offered no details about the country she allegedly served or the criminal organization prosecutors say she joined.

According to the Associated Press, the Federal Prosecutor's Office "launched an espionage investigation after NATO's security services tipped off Belgium's military intelligence."

More from AP:

The arrest in Belgium comes at a crucial time for the alliance as it weathers deep criticism from President Donald Trump who has drawn down the U.S. security role in Europe. Trump has been pressing allies to spend more on defense and join the conflict in Iran while at the same time threatening to seize by force Greenland from NATO-member Denmark, a move that rattled Europeans and the alliance.

Last year, following pressure from Trump, 32 NATO nations agreed to invest 5% of their gross domestic product on defense - 3.5% on defense items such as jets and missiles and 1.5% on infrastructure, including roads, bridges and ports, as well as cybersecurity.

Investigators searched the intern's home and her workplace the day before her arrest, according to the prosecutor's office. The raid and the arrest that followed suggest Belgian authorities moved with unusual speed once SHAPE flagged the concern, though prosecutors have released none of the evidence that triggered the case.

It is not entirely clear what kind of sensitive information the intern had access to, if any at all, but NATO downplayed any fallout from the arrest.

"At this time, there is no indication that NATO or SHAPE operational readiness, command and control arrangements, or ongoing tasks have been adversely affected," SHAPE spokesperson Martin O'Donnell said. "SHAPE continues to fulfil its responsibilities without interruption."

That reassurance arrives from an organization with every incentive to project calm, and NATO offered nothing to explain how a single intern managed to draw suspicion of espionage in the first place. The vagueness extends to the identity of the country prosecutors believe she served. Belgian officials named neither the nation nor the criminal organization, leaving observers to guess whether Beijing sits behind the case or whether the "Chinese origin" detail amounts to a red herring prosecutors chose to disclose regardless. Last year a Chinese cyberattack against Belgium's own intelligence services came to light, and Belgian police detained one of their own officers on suspicion of spying for both China and Russia at once.

Even Canadian officials kept their public comments thin. "As the matter remains under investigation, we are not in a position to comment on specifics at this time," Public Safety Canada told CBC News. The department added that "Canadians can be assured that all Government of Canada law enforcement and intelligence agencies maintain strong relationships with partner agencies that assist in addressing threat-related activity like those described in relation to the arrest made in Belgium on Thursday."
