Stabbing attack at Paris police HQ: What is known
A knife-wielding assailant killed four French officers inside police headquarters in Paris before being shot dead by a first responder. Here is what is known about the attack that put France’s capital on high alert.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The perpetrator entered the Paris police headquarters shortly before 13:00 local time (11:00 GMT). He carried a ceramic knife with him, which wasn’t picked up by the metal detectors.The man swiftly made his way into one of the offices where he engaged in an argument with a policeman. At some point during the quarrel, he got his long-blade knife out and stabbed his interlocutor and others around him. Four officers, three men and a woman, suffered mortal wounds in the attack, authorities announced.
The suspect was only stopped when another policeman shot him dead with an automatic rifle.
WHO WAS THE ATTACKER?
The attacker was described as a staffer at the police headquarters, who had worked there for around 20 years and had never caused any problems. The man was said to be an administrator in the intelligence unit. He had all the security clearances, which allowed him to enter the police HQ without causing any suspicions and roam freely around the building.
The person reportedly converted to Islam months before the incident, but this is yet officially to be confirmed.
THE MOTIVE BEHIND THE STABBING
The motive for the attack isn’t yet clear, but police union leader Jean-Marc Bailleul said that it was likely a criminal rather than a terrorist incident. “It was a moment of madness,” Bailleul told BFM TV. Another police official told Franceinfo radio that there were “tensions” between the attacker and his direct supervisor, who may have been among the victims.
WHERE DID IT HAPPEN?
The Paris police headquarters occupy a historic building on Ile de la Cite, a natural island in the Seine River in the very heart of the French capital. The HQ is located just a few buildings away from the iconic Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral and other well-known historical landmarks.

HOW DID THE GOVERNMENT REACT?
The high-profile attack saw top officials rushing to the scene shortly after it happened. French President Emmanuel Macron arrived at the HQ as soon as a secure perimeter was established. Prime Minister Edouard Philippe and Minister of the Interior Christophe Castaner, who postponed his visit to Turkey, were also there.
Trump Jr: ‘Adam Schiff Is Basically the Jussie Smollett of Congress on Steroids’
By Jeff Poor – Oct 3, 2019
During an appearance Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” first son Donald Trump, Jr. criticized House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) for his handling of the early stages of the impeachment inquiry into his father, President Donald Trump.
Trump said had he “lied” as Schiff had, he would have wound up in jail for perjury.
“If I lied, even a little bit in front of those guys like Adam Schiff has lied to the American people, and in front of Congress the other day, they’d throw me in jail for perjury,” he said. “He’s done it over and over. He’s probably the person that magically leaked my emails and edited them, which was the big CNN bombshell which made it seem like I got the WikiLeaks stuff a week before as opposed to a week after.”
He went on to categorize the California Democrat as “Jussie Smollett of Congress on steroids,” referring to the disgraced “Empire” actor.
“I was in there for about nine hours, and magically when I got done at about 7:30 in the night, I go look at my Twitter feed to catch up on the news of the day,” the younger Trump said, “And starting at about the first bathroom break, CNN is live-tweeting essentially the contents of the hearing.”
“Adam Schiff has never been afraid of a microphone,” he added. “He’s never met a camera he didn’t love. And frankly, he’s never met a camera he didn’t lie to. Adam Schiff is basically the Jussie Smollett of Congress on steroids.”
BRILLIANT! Corrupt Congressional Dems Ask Trump State Dept for Ukrainian Docs – Get Crooked Hillary and Biden Docs Instead! (VIDEO)
By Jim Hoft
The House Congressional Democrats wrote the State Department last week to request testimony from career officials on Ukraine and to demand the Trump State Department turn over requested documents on Ukraine.
Yesterday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced he would refuse to allow State Department officials to testify before the Congressional committees on impeachment.
This was after Democrats in the House violated fundamental principles, contacted State Department officials directly and told them NOT to contact legal counsel.
Democrat lawmakers also requested documents from the Pompeo State Department on Ukraine.
Today the State Department sent over the documents and announced they would brief Congress on their findings.
But the documents weren’t what the Democrats were expecting!
The Trump administration sent over documents on Hillary Clinton’s collusion with Ukraine in the 2016 election and the Biden Family’s massive pay-for-play with the Ukrainian regime!
Zing!
Rudy Giuliani discussed this major Trump troll on Hannity tonight.

TWITTER REMOVES VIRAL BIDEN MEME POSTED BY TRUMP
Nickelback-themed video showed Biden & son meeting with Ukraine gas exec.
OCTOBER 3, 2019
Twitter removed a viral meme posted by President Trump which highlighted Joe Biden’s duplicity on his son’s business dealings in response to a claim by the copyright owner.
The meme showed Biden denying that he had ever spoken to his son Hunter about the latter’s overseas business dealings.
The clip then cuts to a Nickelback video with the lyrics, “Look at this photograph, every time I do it makes me laugh.”
A photograph of Biden, his son Hunter, and a man identified as a “Ukraine gas exec” on a golf course together appears on screen with hearts drawn around their heads.
The meme was removed by Twitter this morning in response to a request from the copyright owner.
Warner Media Group owns the rights to Nickelback’s music and it is likely they who asked Twitter to take it down.
The copyright claim is completely without merit as the meme is clearly transformative and therefore fair use.
This clearly seems like a political move to prevent more people from seeing the meme and uncovering Biden’s duplicity.
An alternate version appears below.
Source: State Department IG Has Been Sitting on ‘Urgent’ Ukraine Matter for 4 Months
By Edwin Mora
The inspector general (IG) at the U.S. Department of State has requested to provide an “urgent” briefing related to Ukraine to congressional staffers on Wednesday afternoon on a matter that he was made aware of four months ago, Breitbart News has learned.
A Trump administration official told Breitbart News that Steve Linick, the IG at the State Department who began his tenure under former President Barack Obama in 2013, “has been sitting on the alleged ‘urgent’ matter for four months.”
Citing anonymous sources, ABC News first reported the upcoming IG briefing to staffers from various committees in the House and Senate, noting that it came at the behest of Linick.
Linick is expected to focus on “documents obtained from the department’s Office of the Legal Adviser related to the State Department and Ukraine,” ABC News reported.
The administration official indicated to Breitbart News that the documents were initially turned over to a non-political lawyer in the civil service, who in turn gave them to Linick four months ago.
Echoing ABC News, the administration official identified the subject of the briefing as Rudy Giuliani, U.S. President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, and Ukraine.
The details behind the “urgent” briefing “remain unknown,” ABC News acknowledged. However, it added:
Linick is expected to meet with congressional staff in a secure location on Capitol Hill.
The unusual nature and timing of the briefing – during a congressional recess – suggests it may be connected to a recent intelligence community whistleblower allegation which describes, in part, the State Department’s role in coordinating interactions between Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal attorney, and Ukrainian officials.
On Wednesday, hours before the briefing, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo confirmed that he was on the July 25 call between Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky. The call is at the center of imminent impeachment proceedings that Democrats in the House have vowed to pursue.
Democrats argue that Trump pressured Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
Schiff Learned About Deep State CIA Spy’s Accusations Several Days Before ‘Whistleblower’ Filed Complaint
October 2, 2019
House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) learned about the Deep State CIA spy’s accusations against President Trump several days before the officer filed a whistleblower complaint.
It is blatantly obvious that Adam Schiff is one of the main architects of this coup against Trump and worked with the Brennan protege to help him craft the complaint.
Then just days after the whistleblower filed a claim of wrongdoing by President Trump, an aide to Schiff flew to Ukraine.
The trip by a staffer on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, on which Schiff serves as chairman, was “sponsored and organized by the Atlantic Council think tank,” Breitbart reported. “The council is funded by and routinely works in partnership with Burisma, the natural gas company at the center of allegations regarding Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.”
So Schiff knew about the accusations well before the CIA spy filed a whistleblower complaint and planned accordingly.
Schiff colluded with the Deep State CIA spy. This is a conspiracy against President Trump.
The New York Times reported:
The Democratic head of the House Intelligence Committee, Representative Adam B. Schiff of California, learned about the outlines of a C.I.A. officer’s concerns that President Trump had abused his power days before the officer filed a whistle-blower complaint, according to a spokesman and current and former American officials.
Before going to Congress, the C.I.A. officer had a colleague convey his accusations to the agency’s top lawyer. Concerned about how that avenue for airing his allegations was unfolding, the officer then approached a House Intelligence Committee aide, alerting him to the accusation against Mr. Trump. In both cases, the original accusation was vague.
The House staff member, following the committee’s procedures, suggested the officer find a lawyer to advise him and file a whistle-blower complaint. The aide shared some of what the officer conveyed to Mr. Schiff. The aide did not share the whistle-blower’s identity with Mr. Schiff, an official said.
“Like other whistle-blowers have done before and since under Republican and Democratic-controlled committees, the whistle-blower contacted the committee for guidance on how to report possible wrongdoing within the jurisdiction of the intelligence community,” said Patrick Boland, a spox for Schiff.
The CIA spy filed a whistleblower complaint in order to remain anonymous under the Whistleblower Protection Act.
The Deep State spook filed a complaint on August 12 based on second-hand knowledge and hearsay of Trump’s July 25 phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, yet the Democrats are using this hit to push to impeach President Trump.
The ‘whistleblower’ alleged that Trump used quid pro quo to pressure Zelensky to investigate the Biden crime family — the Trump-Zelensky transcript was released and showed evidence to the contrary.
The whistleblower’s complaint was not written by a CIA officer, said former CIA analyst Fred Fleitz — the whistleblower had help and it looks life Schiff may be one of the people who helped him write the complaint.
Schiff not only helped this CIA spy from the beginning, he libeled President Trump and read a completely fabricated transcript of Trump’s call to Zelensky during a congressional hearing.
President Trump called for Adam Schiff to resign from Congress for the “crime of fraudulently fabricating a statement of the President of the United States and reading it to Congress.”
President Trump said Adam Schiff should be charged and arrested for treason.
“Coup conspiracy against President Trump confirmed?” Tom Fitton said in response to the New York Times story on Adam Schiff.
DOUBLE WHAMMY: Calling Someone an Illegal Alien Could Strip You of Your Guns
By Jose Nino
The Strident Conservative reports that that New York City passed a new ordinance which criminalizes the threat of reporting someone to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the use of phrases like “go back to your own country” or “illegal alien” when these actions are allegedly motivated by hate.
This 29-page directive was published by the New York City Commission on Human Rights and details numerous examples of actions or comments that would be banned under this law. Violators of this law could be punished by fines up to $250,000 per violation.
According to one passage in the law, “The use of certain language, including ‘illegal alien’ and ‘illegals,’ with the intent to demean, humiliate, or offend a person or persons constitutes discrimination.”
The Commission is open about the fact that the directive intends to reject the federal government’s attempts to crack down on illegal immigration. However, Daniel Horowitz pointed out that no such crackdown has been attempted by the Trump administration.
The author of this Strident Conservative piece, David Leach argues that this law “could have long-term consequences on our liberty.”
First he believes that the NYC law is “a clear violation of free speech rights.” The Supreme Court recently ruled that so-called hate speech is constitutionally protected under the First Amendment. However, Leach sees the bigger picture:
But putting free speech aside for a moment, the growing movement by the Far-Left to ban hate speech — and even criminalize it — could give them a foot-in-the-door toward dismantling the Second Amendment as well.
Right before the entire impeachment drama started, Democrats, along with Trump and the GOP, were already pushing for anti-gun legislation. Bans on high-capacity magazines and red flag laws were featured on Pelosi’s gun control wish list.
Hower, Leach notes that “there’s been another piece of anti-Second Amendment legislation flying under the radar.”
He expanded upon this:
Named the Disarm Hate Act (DHA), this little-noticed bill would use hate crime laws to deny gun rights. Using similar laws already on the books in a few states as a template, the DHA would prohibit people convicted of certain “violent” hate crime misdemeanors from possessing a weapon. Currently, federal law only bans people convicted of felony hate crimes from gun ownership.
What would constitute a violent misdemeanor hate crime? Leach cites the words of Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey, the co-sponsor of the Senate version of the DHA:
“Most commonly this category includes low-level assault, threats, harassment, and property damage.”
Indeed, leftists have had trouble trying to subvert the Second Amendment directly. So they’ve turned to more indirect ways of doing so.
By linking it to assaults on free speech, they can now kill two birds with one stone. In doing so, they can eviscerate some of the most time-honored principles of American political freedoms.
HILLARY CLAIMS ‘REAL’ WITCH HUNT IS TRUMP QUESTIONING MISSING EMAILS
Clinton co-opts term straight from Trump’s playbook
OCTOBER 2, 2019
Hillary Clinton is now claiming she is the victim of a “witch hunt,” co-opting a term frequently used by President Trump in reference to partisan investigations against him.
In an interview with leftist media outlet Now This, Clinton attempted to flip the script on Trump by claiming his calls to investigate her deleted emails was the “real” witch hunt.
“It’s a witch hunt. It’s a real one, unlike the kind of things Trump talks about,” Clinton said.
“It is meant to raise the specter about my emails, which were investigated endlessly,” Hillary claimed, crediting Trump for being “crazy like a fox.”
“If the Republicans and Trump and his supporters in the media can muddy the waters and raise all kinds of crazy conspiracy theories, then maybe people won’t pay attention to the danger he poses to our country,” she claimed.
In 2016, FBI Director James Comey announced an investigation into the emails found that Clinton and her colleagues had mishandled highly classified information in an “extremely careless” way, however he made no recommendation to the Justice Department to pursue charges stating that “no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.”
While Clinton would rather put her emails in the rearview mirror, the Trump administration is still actively conducting an ongoing investigation into State Department officials who sent emails to Clinton’s private server, emails which have retroactively been deemed classified “and now constitute potential security violations,” according to the Washington Post.
Trump has frequently used the term “witch hunt” to refer to the now-defunct FBI probe investigating whether his campaign colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.
As other Democrat candidates continue to fall by the wayside and fail their litmus tests, Hillary is waiting in the wings hoping for a dark horse candidacy.
