Two BBC headlines…

Then they amended it….

Well, this is a tricky one for Al Beeb.

A failed Syrian asylum seeker has blown himself up and injured 12 other people with a backpack bomb near a festival in the south German town of Ansbach.

How to sanitise?

The state of Bavaria’s interior minister said the 27-year-old man had detonated the device after being refused entry to the music festival.

If only he had been let it, right? Also, if only he not been turned down for Asylum. The sheer frequency of these acts of violence by Muslim immigrants is getting the BBC to the point where it can no longer cover for them. The Lone Wolf explanation is wearing very thin.

Morning all! A new week ushers in the opportunity for us to nail the BBC on its daily rancid bias! Here is where you detail it!

An Islamist Muslim, Obama’s half-brother no less, says he will vote for Donald Trump…..

President Obama’s half-brother Malik announces he is voting for Donald Trump

President Obama’s half-brother Malik has announced that he is voting for Donald Trump in the next election.

In an interview with the New York Post from his home in Kenya, Malik said he was voting for the Republican candidate because ‘he speaks from the heart.’ 

‘Make America Great Again is a great slogan,’ he said. ‘I would like to meet (Trump).’

The former Democrat voter said he was voting for a Republican after feeling ‘deep disappointment’ at his half-brother’s presidency.

God really does have a sense of humour.

Kelvin McKenzie got himself into a lot of trouble in recent times by writing an eminently sensible column on the utter crassness of Channel 4 using a Hijab wearing news presenter to cover the slaughter of 84 innocents by a Jihadist on the promenade in Nice.

The BBC has picked up on this and is running with the notion this is somehow “hate speech” because a bunch of bed wetting snowflakes have had their feelings hurt. I have been on BBC London twice in the past few days to a/ Defend freedom of expression b/Suggest that Channel 4 are professional media provocateurs and c/ The Hijab is arguably a political as well as a religious expression and has NO place in a publicly funded broadcaster such as the BBC. I went on to add that so many of those who bleat about the need for “diversity” seem to have  a nervous breakdown when that is extended to diversity of opinion! I bet the BBC would love to emulate Channel 4!

The BBC really is wretched. In the past few days, Germany has been at the receiving end of two terrorist attacks carried out by Muslims. The BBC’s treatment of these attacks has appalled me.

The Munich shopping centre massacre posed a few problems so initially the BBC postulated that the attacks was most likely carried out by some “far right neo Nazi” type, enraged about the wonderful multiculturalism Merkel has visited upon the country. That balloon popped when it became apparent the killer was a Muslim, or a “German-Iranian” as the BBC prefers. His name was Ali Dawed Sombol or “David Somboly” as the dhimmfied BBC prefer to call him. Nine lives lost. BBC narrative morphed from him being initially a “far right neo Nazi” to instead being a sort of bizarre “Anders Breivik” tribute act. God forbid he is described as JUST another angry murderous Muslim. I spotted this earlier, NOT on the MSM.

“Investigators are now discounting previous statements the shooter had researched the massacre by A. Breivik”

Gosh, I never seen that coming. So, the new media narrative is the poor fellow was bullied and had a keen interest in massacres. I see. He was also a lone wolf. Until….

Munich police arrest 16-year-old friend of the attacker who killed nine people in the city on Friday

Two lone wolves?

Then came the news that a pregnant woman was hacked to death and two others injured in the German town of Reutlingen by a  …Syrian “refugee”. The BBC chose NOT to cover this story in ANY way on its 6.30pam and 10.00pm TV News . This cartoon sums the whole damn thing up well.

The BBC does everything possible to sanitise Islamic Jihad across Europe. In that regard it IS part of the problem we face. Agree?

Record breaking weather?

Monthly Outlook

Summary

The BBC’s reaction to the shootings in Germany by Ali Sonboly is fascinating….they absolutely avoided any mention of early reports that suggested an Islamic angle to the killings but did publish reports that he shouted he was German and that he also shouted racist abuse…failing to tell people of the context and that he wasn’t shouting racist abuse against foreigners….the BBC immediately going for the interpretation that this could be a Far Right attack.

Now it seems that the BBC is being rather circumspect when it comes to reporting his name….downplaying the fact that he is called ‘Ali’…even though pupils at his school called him that.  The BBC has history here as it frequently alters the names of Muslims to engender sympathy or to avoid links to Islam and radicalism.

The BBC’s pro-Hamas Jon Donnison changed the name of his Palestinian friend and colleague when a Hamas rocket fell short and killed his son [Donnison and Co reported falsely that it was an Israeli bomb], changing it from Jihad to Jehad in the hope the readers wouldn’t think the worse.

Then we Alyan Kurdi, the young boy drowned in the Med.  The BBC changed his name to ‘Alan’, not a bad name but it wasn’t the boy’s.  The BBC wanted desperately to make him seen less foreign so that people would connect more to him and thence other immigrants in a similar plight and so disrespectfully changed his name in an act of political propaganda intended to make people scared to criticise open borders in case they seemed heartless or racist.

Alan was not the boy’s name, Alyan was…a fine Arab name …

Meaning of Alyan

Alyan is an indirect Quranic name for boys that means “one who climbs upwards”, “one who ascends”, figuratively meaning “high”, “supreme”, “exalted”, “great”. Alyan is an ancient Arabic name used since before Islam. It is derived from the AIN-L-A root which is also the root for the common name Ali.

Utterly different to the Celtic, or is it French, name Alan.

The BBC now reports the Munich killer as ‘David Sonboly’ more often than not, missing out his name ‘Ali’ for some reason…

Munich shooting: David Sonboly ‘planned attack for year’

They do later admit he was also called ‘Ali’ but relegate it to his middlename…

David Ali Sonboly

Ahhh…Breitbart says the addition of ‘Ali’ was in response to its own story on this subject.

UPDATE 1520 EST: The BBC has now edited it’s article to add in the name “Ali” following Breitbart News’s expose. READ MORE HERE

The Telegraph calls him Ali Sonboly and when referring to his full name uses this…

Ali David Sonboly

Just why did the BBC swap his names around?

Even the Guardian calls him Ali Sonboly….

Bavarian investigator Robert Heimberger said Ali Sonboly had visited the scene of a previous school shooting in the German town of Winneden

On Saturday we had the ever more hopeless Frank Gardner, supposedly the BBC’s expert on security issues.  On the Today programme he gave us his analysis of the Munich shootings telling us that as the killer was an Iranian [so possibly Shia] there was almost certainly no chance that he was with the Sunni Islamic State.  He made no mention that a witness reported him shouting Allah Akbar nor that the Islamic State were praising the killings on social media.

As for the killer being Iranian and therefore not at all likely to be in ISIS…The Iranian population is around 20% Sunni….who are pretty well persecuted by their Shia rulers….and therefore one could surmise that the boy just might be from Iranian Sunni refugees.  It’s a possibility that Gardner just didn’t bother to consider as he determinedly tried to scrub out any perceptions that this may be a terrorist event telling us that there were no religious or political overtones [remember this was long before we had an official German briefing on their conclusions] and that there was no IS connection and that the boy clearly held a grudge, was probably mentally disturbed and this was more like the US than IS.

This was Gardner jumping to conclusions very early on, conclusions based as much on wishful thinking as much as fact and is pretty much the narrative that the BBC churns out every time we have an attack that looks like it may have an Islamic link.  Remember Nice?  No links to the Islamic State and a lone wolf who was mentally unstable and had become an instant Jihadi, quickly self-radicalised?  Turns out he has links to IS and had planned the attack for over a year with several likeminded fellows.  The BBC got lucky this time in Munich, their default narrative turned out to be true, but that doesn’t hide the fact that they failed to report all the claims which were just as credible as the ones the BBC did choose to report and that they now seek to scrub Islam from the killer’s name.

The BBC is possibly not the worst offender here though.  It started off with overheated claims of links to Breivik and added in long sections on Breivik and his crimes for good measure…turns out they were wrong….the killer was obsessed with mass murder not Breivik’s politics…and why would an Iranian, Muslim, son of immigrants, take up with someone who was against Muslims and immigrants?

The gunman who killed nine people in Munich was obsessed with mass shootings and had an obvious link to Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik, German police say.

Police who searched the 18-year-old’s room say they found written material on attacks.

This changed today to…

Police had not found the manifesto of Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik when they searched the gunman’s room at his parents’ flat.

A day earlier, officials had raised the possibility of a link to Breivik, whose own attack was carried out five years earlier to the day.

However, there was no evidence of any political motivation.

Odd how keen the BBC were to publicise those ‘possibilities’ of a link to Breivik and yet didn’t report ‘possible’ links to ISIS.

The Mirror manages both…

Who’s to blame for Munich shopping centre massacre? ISIS gloat online but right-wing extremists also suspected

Some German news outlets have claimed right-wing nationalists are behind the incident while others have pointed the finger at Islamic State after a witness claimed the killer shouted “Allahu Akbar”.

Supporters of the Islamic State militant group have been celebrating the attack on social media.

“Thank God, may God bring prosperity to our Islamic State men,” read one tweet in Arabic on an account that regularly favours the radical Islamist movement.

A witness to the horror also claims the gunman shouted “Allahu Akbar” – God is Greatest – as he opened fire after bursting out of a McDonald’s toilet.

Even the Times of India notes a possible IS link…

Islamic State supporters hail deadly Munich shooting on social media

Not sure how the BBC managed to miss all that.

The Telegraph is possibly worse though as it links the Munich killings not only to the Far Right as a whole but to nationalist groups as well…which can range from the mild UKIP to the SNP and the BNP and on…..

Munich shooting: link to Anders Breivik is reminder of rising tide of far Right anger

Nationalist and far-Right groups are enjoying a surge in support across Europe, propelled by the migration crisis, sluggish economic growth and waning confidence in the EU.

And although their ideas have moved into the mainstream, a violent hardcore remains on the fringes responsible for a string of “lone wolf” attacks.

The German police and politicians seemed all too quick to pronounce the killings in Munich as the work of a lone madman and to link it to a right wing mass murderer….any chance they were trying desperately to pull Merkel out the brown smelly stuff?

Here’s what the arrogant and dismissive German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière says about immigration…essentially saying Merkel and Co in their armoured cars, bodyguards and 24 hour protection, don’t give a stuff that the poor old public are open targets on the streets of Germany because of their immigration policies….

SPIEGEL: Was it a mistake to allow so many migrants to enter into Germany last year without knowing who they were?

De Maizière: We were shocked by the murders of the NSU. We have also seen young people commit massacres in schools. Such instances leave you stunned and asking yourself: Is it not possible to recognize this earlier? Can it be prevented? That there are such excesses of violence is, unfortunately, a fact of life. We do everything we can to prevent something like that, but to a certain extent, a society must endure it — as bitter a pill as that may be to swallow.

Do any of the BBC’s Journo’s that get the plum job of reporting from the good ole US of A actually like America?  It seems doubtful.

Katty Kay certainly has some reservations and Donald Trump is the lightning rod that draws her wrath.  Here she is slagging off the Trump and his supporters and declaiming their dislike for Clinton…all without a single mention of the siege that Clinton’s lefty stormtroopers lay to any Trump appearance, not to mention the attempt to kill Trump…made by a Brit who no doubt overdosed on BBC anti-Trump ‘journalism’ that paints him as the Devil.

Here’s a taste of Katty Kay….

I’ve never heard a speaker booed on the stage or a party this beset by internal strife or a wing of a party drag the rest out to the fringes of political respectability. It’s stunning and begs the question: Are we watching the death throes of the Republican Party?

Many people around the world may be surprised that the most vocal challenge to Donald Trump comes not from the American political centre but from the right of the Republican Party…….Ted Cruz.  {Yep I guess all those violent anti-Trump demos just passed Katty by….and limiting this to ‘vocal challenges’ of course misses out the one where someone tried to shoot Trump].

In some ways the delegates at this convention seem to have gone beyond even Mr Trump on politically extreme rhetoric.

The subject of their ire is Hillary Clinton.

I honestly don’t know if it’s because Mrs Clinton is a woman. It may be because she’s been around as a political figure for so long or because her email server makes her look like she thinks she’s above the law but the hatred of her here is vicious and visceral. This has become the “lock her up” convention. Ask individual delegates about Mrs Clinton and they get a glint in their eye – she’s “evil”, a “liar”, “dangerous.”

They really, really hate her. On that they can agree.

Oh yes..not once but twice in the article we heard that Trump and his crowd are  ‘on the fringes of political acceptance/respectibility’

  ‘A crowd that was willing to be pulled into the fringes of political acceptability.’

  ‘A wing of a party drag the rest out to the fringes of political respectability.’

And the end of the Republican Party?  Analysis or complete overheated bunkum…and she seems to have totally forgotten the Tea Party…once the object of so much BBC ire….it was apparently the future once…and yet the Republican Party is still standing.

I suppose all this Democratic Party internal  strife  just passes the Katty one by…
