Iran's military guard behind attacks on Jewish centers in Germany?

Germany's top law enforcement officials reportedly believe that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is behind a series of attacks on Jewish centers inside the country. The IRGC is a designated terrorist organization by the U.S. but not so much for Democrat Reps. Ilhan Omar (MN), Rashida Talib (MI), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), and Ayanna Pressley (MA).

Iran International reported that Iran hires criminals outside of Iran to conduct operations. 

Police have launched a probe investigating a terrorist cell in North Rhine-Westphalia, the report said. At least one of the suspects is believed to have been radicalized a while ago. By converting to Islam in its radical form, this gives these scumbags a religious license to kill non-believers of the religion of peace.

German intelligence believes that the IRGC is behind some of the anti-Semitic attacks inside the country, the report said.

Some of the attacks include a synagogue shooting, arson at another synagogue, and attacks on other synagogues. The religion of Islam is ripe with anti-Semitism in the Koran, so it's no wonder why Jews [and to a lesser extent, Christians] are often the primary targets of jihad. 

“We’re talking about state terrorism here,” an investigator said in reference to a German-Iranian suspect referred to as Ramin Y.

“Ramin Y. [aka "The Noodle"] is the founder of the Mönchengladbach branch of the rocker club Hells Angels and is wanted on an international arrest warrant for, among other things, a murder in the rocker milieu,” German TV Tagesschau reported.

Y's motorcycle of preference is the 49cc Honda Ruckus with a top cruising speed of over 31 mph and gets almost 115 miles to the gallon. He is accused of chucking a Molotov cocktail [using the gasoline that he saves] as a school that's directly adjacent to the Bochum synagogue, the German report said.

“He is also said to have tried to persuade another man to carry out an arson attack on the Dortmund synagogue,” the report added. “According to Kontraste information, he is said to have threatened the man if he did not cooperate. However, this man revealed himself as a witness to the police.”

German lawmakers have in recent days pushed to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization, following in the path of the United States.

Iran stoked international outrage late last month after an Iranian man who honked the horn of his car to celebrate Iran’s defeat by the United States in the World Cup was reportedly murdered by the despotic regime’s security forces, who appear to take their soccer too seriously.

Iran takes its soccer seriously: kill Iranian who cheered when US won

Mehran Samak, 27, an Iranian man who honked his horn in celebration of the U.S.'s 1 -0 defeat of Iran at World Cup was murdered by local authorities in the city of Bandar Anzali, Oslo-based Iran Human Rights reported.

When Iran's team returned home, the welcome was as cold as a well-digger's butt in February due to their loss to the United States while ongoing anti-government protests were in full swing in Iran, the number one sponsor of global terrorism. But when one man cheered the U.S. victory by a simple horn honk, that was too much for local sharia enforcement to tolerate and they shot the driver dead.

Anti-government protesters, considering the team a symbol of Iran’s clerical rulers, had celebrated the loss in some Iranian cities with fireworks and cheers all while many Iranians protested the killing of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who was taken into custody by the ironically-named morality police for not wearing a head covering known as a hijab.

Recently, the family home of Iranian rock climber Elnaz Rekabi had been demolished because she competed in South Korea without wearing a hijab in protest of Amini's murder. OMG! Her hair was showing and it drove Iranian men into a sexual frenzy.

In this latest case, in which even the Iranian soccer team refrained from singing the Islamic Republic's national anthem during the World Cup opening ceremonies, the government will be looking into the situation, although the team did sing the anthem in subsequent matches.

A few dozen fans greeted the national team’s return at Tehran’s international airport late Wednesday, with people cheering and waving the Iranian flag. It was too noisy to ascertain whether they were chanting "Death to America!" "Death to Israel!" but it shouldn't surprise us if they did.

The players have also faced fierce criticism from anti-government protesters who were angry with them for not being more outspoken over security forces violence toward protesters. Human rights groups estimate over 400 protesters have been killed in the crackdown, with thousands more arrested.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has likened protesters to “flies” and dismissed the movement as a foreign plot, without offering any proof, much like the mainstream legacy media and the women of "The View."

Ex-CIA spook who worked for DNC spied on US citizens to help Mid East gov.

Kevin Chalker, a former CIA agent working for Qatar, spied on top soccer officials as the tiny Middle East country sought to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup, according to the Associated Press. [H/T Western Journal]

The AP said Chalker was contracted to help give a country that was not his own an advantage in securing the tournament by using spies and malicious software. 

It sucks, but at least it isn't treason.

“Qatar sought an edge in securing hosting rights from rivals like the United States and Australia by hiring Chalker, who became a private contractor, to spy on other bid teams and key soccer officials who picked the winner in 2010, the AP’s investigation found,” the AP’s Alan Suderman reported.

“Chalker also worked for Qatar in the years that followed to keep tabs on Qatar’s critics in the soccer world, according to interviews with Chalker’s former associates as well as contracts, invoices, emails, and a review of business document,” Suderman wrote.

Chalker's surveillance work included hiring someone posing as a photojournalist to spy on rival countries and their respective bids to win the rights to host the 2022 tournament. The USA was one of those countries which came in second behind Qatar, according to the AP.

Under his company, Global Risk Advisors, Chalker agreed to accept $387 million for his work for the Qatar government, but it isn't known how much Global Risk Advisors was finally paid.

The ex-CIA spook also promised he could assist Qatar as it sought to “maintain dominance” over foreign workers who were used to build the facilities needed for the World Cup, the report said. So not only would they get the rights as host, but they would also get the labor rights as well.

Although the AP cited many sources and strong verification efforts on all published information, Chalker claimed the documents were forged and denied all findings.

Chalker was employed by the CIA for five years before spying on behalf of Qatar, the report stated.

“The CIA declined to comment and does not usually discuss its former officers,” Suderman wrote. “But the agency sent a letter to former employees earlier this year warning of a ‘detrimental trend’ of foreign governments hiring former intelligence officers ‘to build up their spying capabilities …'”

But whether it's true or not, at least he wasn't at the overthrow of the entire US government on January 6th and Trump.

Qatar: 6,500 migrant workers died in preparation for World Cup.

Qatar -- They came from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka as migrant workers, just a small step above a slave, to help build a stadium in the middle of a desert to host the World Cup. It began 10 years ago and since then, more than 6,500 migrant workers have died, according to the UK Guardian.

The data was extracted from government sources and indicates that the mean average of weekly deaths from these five South Asian countries came to twelve since December 2010 when Doha's streets overflowed with celebrants of Qatar's victory.

Data from India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka revealed there were 5,927 deaths of migrant workers in the period 2011–2020. Pakistan's embassy in Qatar reported an additional 824 deaths between 2010 and 2020.

Mohammad Shahid Miah, 29, from Bangladesh, died when floodwater in his room came into contact with an exposed electric cable, electrocuting him.

And the death toll quoted doesn't include figures from other countries which send large numbers of migrant workers to Qatar, such as the Philippines and Kenya, nor were the 2021 deaths included in these figures.

Over the past 10 years, Qatar has been building feverishly, mostly in preparation of the 2022 World Cup. But there are also seven new stadiums and scores of major undertakings that have been completed or are under way, such as an airport, new roads, public transport systems, a new city and hotels that will be hosting the big game.

Death records are not explicit in terms of the deceased occupation or place of work, but it's probable that many of those who died were employed on the World Cup's infrastructure projects, according to Nick McGeehan, a director at FairSquare Projects, a labor rights advocacy group. “A very significant proportion of the migrant workers who have died since 2011 were only in the country because Qatar won the right to host the World Cup,” McGeehan said.

There have been 37 deaths among workers directly linked to construction of World Cup stadiums. Of these, 34 are categorized as "non-work related" as per the event's organizing committee, who has skin in the game of not looking responsible for the deaths.

But some experts have questioned the use of the term "non-work related" is accurate as it has, at least in some cases, been used to describe deaths which have occurred on the job, including a number of migrant workers who have collapsed and died on stadium construction sites.

The findings expose Qatar’s inability or indifference to protect its 2 million-strong migrant workforce, or even investigate the causes of the high rate of death among the largely young workers, many of whom were the main breadwinners of their respective families.

In one case, Ghal Singh Rai from Nepal paid nearly £1,000 in recruitment fees for his job as a cleaner in a camp for workers building the Education City World Cup stadium. Within a week of arriving, he killed himself. 

The family of Madhu Bollapally of India never understood how the healthy 43-year old died of “natural causes” while working in Qatar. His body was found lying on his dorm room floor.

Many deaths were caused by blunt injuries due to falls from height. Others were caused by hanging, and undetermined deaths were due to decomposition of the bodies. 

The most common cause thus far, is listed as "natural deaths" often attributed to acute heart or respiratory failure.

Based on the data obtained by the outlet: 69% of deaths among Indian, Nepali and Bangladeshi workers are categorized as natural. Among Indians alone, the figure is 80%.

The Guardian has previously reported that such classifications, which are usually made without an autopsy, often fail to provide a legitimate medical explanation for the underlying cause of these deaths.

In 2019 it found that  Qatar’s intense summer heat is likely to be a significant factor in many worker deaths and the findings were supported by research commissioned by the UN's International Labor Organization. The research showed that for at least four months of the year workers faced significant heat stress when working outside.

Even the Qatar government’s own lawyers in 2014 recommended that a study be commissioned to look into the deaths of migrant workers from cardiac arrest, and amend the law to “allow for autopsies … in all cases of unexpected or sudden death.”

The government has done neither.

Since Sharia [Islamic law] is the primary source of Qatari legislation, according to their Constitution, perhaps they can use the stadiums that will be left standing after the World Cup is done for that purpose.

For example, if a Qatari Muslim woman commits adultery with a non-Muslim man [a kaffir], she can be given her 100 lashes at mid-field. If a Muslim man has an alcoholic drink, he can get his 40 lashes by the goal post of his choice.

U.S. women's members of highly boring sport: 'You're living under aa rock' if you don't think soccer is important

Soccer is a rough sport that takes a ton of stamina, lots of heart, enormous skills, and a modicum of luck. 

The object of the game is to run up and down a field, known as a pitch, and move the ball along to your opponent's goal without using your hands, and try to kick it past a goalkeeper who is allowed to use hands to stop the ball from getting into the goal. Each team has eleven players, just like in American football.

There are two halves of 45 minutes each and the clock never stops. Extra time is added onto the end of each half, depending on the referee's discretion, based on overall injury time.There is no time for commercial breaks during play and this is the main reason for the sport not catching on in the United States--it doesn't generate the money that the NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL does and sponsors aren't interested in only showing their wares during halftime.

Some folks, particularly those on the left who see something wrong with every aspect of American life, think it's unfair and sexist that women are paid less than men for playing the same game. Women's USA soccer players make between $25,000 to $85,000 per season, with the average being around $40,000.

But it isn't sexist. It's an indication of the relative commercial earnings of men's versus women's soccer and each one's ability to draw a consistent audience. If you understand that sports are part of the entertainment industry, you can see the relevance to this merit-based fact.

When judged on their merits and ability to generate money and interest, the Women's World Cup teams don't merit the same pay as their male counterparts. This is an inconvenient truth that people don't want to hear--especially the "everyone gets a trophy" crowd.

Athletic-wise, the women's teams aren't nearly as good as the men's teams--this is a fact, although not a politically correct fact, because there are biological differences between the sexes whether feminists want to believe it or not.

Check this out: the U.S. women's team has been ranked in the top three women’s teams internationally for much of the last several decades. Yet, in 2017, an under-15 professional men's academy team, an American club's team, beat them 5 to 2. Teenage boys beat the women's top players in the world. It wasn't even close.

That isn't the fault of the women's team and wasn't cause for alarm regarding their abilities to be beaten by boys. It didn't even indicate the women weren't highly skilled. It simply shows that even the best women soccer players do not have the same physical abilities with speed, strength, size and skill as the men's soccer at lower levels.

That's nature, not sexism.

Many more people throughout the globe watch men's soccer than the women's game and thus, they bring in much higher revenues. In fact, if you paid the men along the same percentages the women are paid relative to the money they bring in, the men would be paid many times higher than the women.

But two members of the U.S. women's team, Kelley O'Hara and Allie Long, were arrogant enough to put the needs of business owners aside and post on Instagram a call for them to give their employees the day off so the fans could watch the U.S. team's game against France [which they won].

They began by insulting the employers saying they were "living under a rock" if they weren't aware of the importance of the women's soccer team. 

Sounds a little self-serving and inconsiderate of the employer's needs if you ask me.

Here's what the note said:

Dear Bosses & Supervisors: In case you're living under a rock, this Friday, June 28 is our World Cup quarterfinal versus France and it's gonna be a Big One! We kindly ask that you give every employee the day off so that they can eat a hearty lunch, get emotionally ready, bust out all their USA gear, and mentally prep for what will be an EPIC GAME! They will be back on MONDAY. MAYBE.

The Daily Mail noted, “In the Instagram caption, the team's social media manager wrote: ‘we want you with U.S. tomorrow, no matter what, so Kelley and Allie wrote you a totally legit excuse note.'”

They forgot to add: "Hand over your heart during the National Anthem is optional."

Which is why I don't care a fig how much money they make, and while I'm a very patriotic guy, and I hate to say it, but I really don't care if they win or lose.
