WHY WAS A BRITISH MP DEFENCELESS AGAINST A SOMALI KNIFEMAN?

Victim of racial offsetting?

by Colin Liddell

The question above is guaranteed to draw different answers from different people. Those of us on the patriotic right will be inclined to say it is because of Britain's "open doors" immigration policy. And of course that is true. But we have long since passed the point where we can expect things in the UK to go back to the time before mass immigration. Thanks to decades of undemocratic two-party government, coexisting with various exotic Third World nationalities is now baked into the cake.

The ignorant probably think that all politicians everywhere are defenceless against such knife attacks, unless, of course, they are being explicitly defended by police or secret service guards. But this is not the case.

When murders like this happen there has usually been plenty of warning beforehand, and the same is true in the case of Ali Harbi Ali. Whatever the killer's reasons and even justifications, this is an act that should have been pre-empted. Sir David should have been perfectly safe to go hobnobbing with Qatari royalty one week and then attend his local constituency the next. Remember, we now live in a heavy surveillance state, one in which our emails and social media are routinely scanned by algorithms and police eyeballs for signs of "crimethink" and future "crimedeed." Young Ali had clearly triggered a few of these early warning systems, but had been allowed to continue on his merry way to the surgery where he performed his own 'autopsy' on Sir David, with one unconfirmed report saying that he had delivered 17 stab wounds "between the head and shoulders." 

The reason Sir David was defenceless was because the British state doesn't like to pick on dangerous people from those races and ethnicities that tend to be over-represented in such things. In fact, they would much rather have a few MPs slaughtered than have anyone, no matter how unsympathetic or disingenuous they might be, claim that the British authorities were the tiniest bit "racist." As a fully paid-up supporter of Black Lives Matter, I'm pretty sure Sir David would have been right behind this policy if it had been one of his colleagues getting butchered instead of himself. Indeed, last year the Metropolitan Police's idiotic anti-terror chief Neil Basu ludicrously warned that the "far right" is Britain's fastest growing terror threat. 

Yes, all this political correctness has created a very serious security blind spot in the UK, something that was noticed by a recent review of "Prevent," one of the four arms of the UK's anti-terrorist strategy. This revealed that anti-terrorist 'resources' were being over-concentrated on relatively harmless radicalised Whites. 

As reported by the Daily Mail:

 

The UK's flagship anti-terror strategy is being undermined by a politically correct emphasis on right-wing extremism over more dangerous Islamist radicalism, critics have said - as a review prepares to overhaul the 'broken' system. Prevent has come under fresh scrutiny after it emerged Ali Harbi Ali, the suspected terrorist accused of murdering Tory MP David Amess, was referred to the programme but his case was not deemed enough of a risk to be passed on to MI5. In recent years, much of its resources have been diverted to tracking suspected right-wing extremists, which made up 43% (302) of cases considered among the most serious last year compared to just 30% (210) concerning Islamism, official data shows. 

One might be wondering what sort of cases of "right-wing" extremism they are referring to. Well, an excellent recent example made it into the news recently, with a young British man, Ben John (21), arrested, prosecuted, and convicted in what the police described as a "long and complex investigation over the course of 11 months."

"So, how many people did he stab to death?" you ask. The answer: zero. In fact, his main offence seems to have been downloading The Anarchist's Cookbook, basically an antifa manual on how to concoct bombs and other nasty things. The only catch here, however, is that this book is available for next day delivery on Amazon UK.

Yes, the British anti-terrorist police is more interested in the mean tweets and dodgy downloads of White kids than actual acts of horror our vibrant Somali community are contemplating and carrying out. 

For weeks before the attack on Sir David, the murderer's father, Harbi Ali Kullane, was tweeting constantly about how evil the Qataris are. This alone should have been a warning to Britain's anti-terrorist forces, reminding them that any politician too close to the Qataris -- like Sir David, who had just returned from yet another all-expenses-paid trip to Qatar -- could be in danger.

In fact, there was a very obvious Twitter trail leading all the way to the surgery where Sir David met his brutal end. This was collated by The Turbulent Times:

"...on 18 March of this year, he wrote: “Former President Farmajo does not want any form of elections to take place in #Somalia. Not now or in the foreseeable future. His term expired on 8 Feb 2021”.

On 13 April, he tweeted further on the subject: “So malice that Farmajo utterly ignores the constitutional requirement of the Upper House approval. This man is tearing down the fabrics of this recovering nation, #Somalia”. This was in response to a report that Farmaajo had signed a law extending his terms of office for two years, without the approval of the Upper House of Parliament.

On April 22, Harbi Ali Kullane responded to a tweet from Ahmed Hassan, who had written: “Farmajo’s feat: brought back anarchy to Mog, bred contempt for the rule of law, politicised the security forces, botched constitutional review & failed to prepare the country for elections, tried to stay beyond his term & is currently awaiting to be driven out of VS by force”. To this, Harbi Ali Kullane comment was: “Makes you ponder how he is still in power?”

On 27 April, he complained: “Farmajo is buying more time in order to fulfil his cunning delusions. It should not be allowed and the wacko should be omitted ASAP from been (sic) part of #Somalia politics. With the walls caving in he turns back again to brew another fake scenario”.

On 6 May, we see an accusation that Qatar is lining president Famajo’s pockets, in return for an energy investment deal. Then, on 9 June, although he doesn’t name him, Harbi Ali Kullane is effectively accusing Farmajo of deploying young #Somali soldiers in Tigre via #Eritrea, which he describes as an: “insurmountable national treason and should not be swept under the carpet”. There should, he says, “be accountability and retribution. We want answers now”.

In July Amess accepts £700-worth of hospitality and accommodation to attend the Goodwood horseracing festival, which Qatar sponsors.

On 24 September, Harbi Ali Kullane writes: “Farmajo is not Deity who determines our future. He is mentally handicap with dictatorial tendencies. Now that he is compromised lets fast forward elections. The sooner the better chance of ejecting him”.

On 5 October, he writes on Twitter that: “Since the Feb 17 we have unfortunately witnessed the unhealthy direct involvement of Qatar in the Somali political arena. It is time this notorious and ill-conceived relation was eliminated and utterly diminish its influence”. Amongst his complaints is that Qatar is sponsoring a president who assumes he is “here for life”.

On 9 October, the All-Party Parliamentary British-Qatar Group tweets: “UK Parliamentarians were de-briefed on UK talks with Taliban by @MlongdenUK following his visit to Kabul – he praised Qatar’s role in assisting evacuations and warned of dire economic situation”.

@MlongdenUK is Martin Longden, Chargé d’Affaires of the UK Mission to Afghanistan in Doha.

On 10 October, the ILO Project Office for the State of Qatar tweets: “Today we met with 15 United Kingdom MPs during their visit in Doha. They asked pointed questions about Qatar’s labour reforms, the progress and challenges”. One of the photographs posted features David Amess, with colleagues, at the meeting. Amess retweets the post.

On 11 October, Amess tweets: “As chairman of @QatarAPPG I was very pleased to receive an update from @MlongdenUK regarding the situation in Afghanistan and hear about Qatar’s continued effort to help British families in Afghanistan”.

On 12 October, Yousef Al-Khater, former Qatar Ambassador to the UK, tweets: “Many thanks to my friends from the UK Parliament for their noble sentiments during our meeting last night, and for their congratulations on my elections as a member of Qatar’s first elected Shura Council. I look forward for fruitful cooperation in the future”. On the same day, Amess tweets his congratulations.

On that day, Amess (or his staff) also advertises on Twitter the MP’s next constituency surgery, to take place on Friday 15 October at Belfairs Methodist Church, Leigh-on-Sea. The tweet invites appointments, publishing an email address and a telephone number.

On 13 October, Amess returns from Qatar. The following day, he tweets: As Chairman of @QatarAPPG, I was very pleased to meet the Emir during our recent delegation to Doha. The subject was “strategic cooperation between Qatar and Britain”. Amess posts a photograph of himself and the Emir."

Only too late are some of the people in British Intelligence (an oxymoron?) waking up to the real danger. 

Back to the Mail and the misallocation of anti-terror resources: 

Today, an intelligence source said that 'although some right-wing extremists are dangerous people... by and large they are hoodlums. They do not present the same risk as Islamists by any distance, by a factor of four or five to one,' the source told the Telegraph. 'Everyone was trying very hard to be politically correct and not Islamophobic. But the whole process has become unbalanced. 'More time has been spent than appropriate on right-wing extremism and not Islamism. There needs to be some honest appraisal about where the threat is actually coming from.' 

But maybe the intelligence services can get out of this mess by doing what all low-performing public organisations do, that is blame it on Covid:

It comes amid fears of a growing threat from so-called 'bedroom radicals' who have soaked up extreme beliefs from the Internet over lockdown. Intelligence agencies are struggling to monitor these people because of the difficulty of distinguishing between those spewing hate-filled propaganda and genuine terrorists, security sources told the Times. 

What is clear is that much of the so-called "hateful" rhetoric of "radicalised" White kids is just that, namely rhetoric, a way of blowing off hot air. The same cannot be said for people of Third World backgrounds. Here their religious beliefs and tribal feuds from their countries of origin combine with the alienation that is inherent in living in someone else's country to create a toxic violent cocktail. 

Despite their relatively low numbers, people of Islamic background make up the vast majority of those actually imprisoned for terrorism offences. Figures from a study published this year by the House of Commons Library shows there were 157 individuals in prison classed as 'Islamist extremists', with a further 44 categorised as 'extreme right-wing'. 73% of prisoners in custody for terrorism-related offences declared themselves to be Muslim, while a mere 12% identified as Christian.

Imagine how many terrorists would be behind bars if Britain's anti-terrorism services had actually been trying to catch terrorists instead of wasting resources on people making mean tweets and downloading books that are available on Amazon. Like Ali Harbi Ali was, those terrorists and future terrorists are still out there.
