The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the Berlin truck attack, and has described the driver of the truck as a “soldier” of the jihad terror group.
Lone wolf jihad attacks can come anywhere, anytime, and inflict incalculable damage and the tragic and violent loss of loved ones, as we see in the marketplace Berlin truck attack. These attacks are inspired by ongoing Islamic State calls to jihad against the West.
Yet Charles Hecker, a senior partner at Control Risks, claims that the terror threat level to Germany is low, despite the Berlin market truck attack. Hecker’s reason for this claim is that the Berlin attack “appears to be the act of a lone wolf”; he is just another so called expert trying to earn his keep. The horrific “lone wolf” jihad truck attack in Nice, France in mid-July took the lives of 86 people and injured about 434 more. Perhaps this is insignificant for Hecker, who seems to have no interest in how “lone wolves” may be heeding the calls of the Islamic State.
“Germany Expects ‘Further Significant Attacks’, Warn Police Chiefs”, by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, December 21, 2016:
“We need to work on the assumption that an armed perpetrator is still on the loose. As a result of this we are on high alert,” Mr. Münch said at a press conference delivered by federal prosecutors.
“Currently we have one suspect but we are not sure whether he is the perpetrator and we don’t know whether there is only one. We have not found the weapon and that leads us to being in a high state of alert.“Our investigations are on-going to see whether there are other perpetrators that we need to arrest.”
The warning came as Germany’s top prosecutor, Peter Frank, said more than one person could have carried out the massacre.
He had also conceded that the then-suspect in custody “may not have been the perpetrator or belong to the group of perpetrators” before the Pakistani migrant was released hours later.
Yesterday, German police said they were “working on the assumption that the truck was steered deliberately into the crowd”, with Chancellor Angela Merkel saying it must be “presumed” to be a terror attack.
The anti mass-migration AfD party did not mince their words. “Germany is no longer safe,” AfD co-chairman Frauke Petry commented.
Adding: “We must be under no illusions. The breeding ground in which such acts can flourish has been negligently and systematically imported over the past year and a half.”……

miriamrove says
you dont have to be a police chief or chief of an intelligence Org.to know this. It is coming. m
Johan elzinga says
You are exactly right. The coming ten years will show at least one auch attack every two months, then every month, then every two weeks…
Angemon says
It would help if police chiefs knew it, though.
somehistory says
“Lone wolves” are *alone* because they don’t have a pack any longer. All wolves have a pack…made up of wolves having differing levels of pack authority. If something happens to the pack, the wolf that survives is a *lone wolf.*
In the world of terrorism, terrorists, there is seldom a *lone wolf.* That would mean that he/she developed their reasons for committing terror apart from others…maybe being truly mentally ill, or having a personal grievance against a person, group, institution, etc.
Most terrorists have a group of like-minded people with whom to plan and carry out terror attacks. There may, on occasion, be someone who reads about, listens to videos, etc. a group to which they wish to belong…and some groups work that way..(see ELF and ALF) to encourage like-minded people to do things according to the ideology of the group.
The moslim who is carrying out violent murderous attacks is not…not…not…a lone wolf. He/she has a group…everyone who believes islam should rule the world…and with whom he/she can communicate without being revealed to the authorities.
Those who say it was a *lone wolf* attack have not studied terrorism/anti-terrorism enough, didn’t learn anything, or they are throwing out what they think is expected of them to say.
davej says
Exactly. This is another term used to deceive and divert us, like “Islamophobia”. Almost all of these so-called lone wolves are inspired and possibly aided by the Islamic creed of jihad, endorsed by millions of Muslims.
Therefore they are not “lone” in any meaningful sense.
Oliver says
Not nice. But in my opinion. Better in Germany then the US
.
Payback is hell Germany murdered Jews. Now Muslims are murdering Germans. And the Germans invited these slime in.
Bill says
i cannot agree at all with that. The average German citizen does not deserve this. What Jews did they kill? They have been cheated, gulled and betrayed by their own governments in the interest of forging a global enterprise from the chaos that has been created by the elite. They need to rise up and hold their governments to account. They must take to the streets in protest. They must go to the ballot box. They have precious little time to do it because their own governments will not defend them and they have allowed government to deprive them of the means of self-defense.
LB says
“They need to rise up and hold their governments to account. They must take to the streets in protest.”
I don’t think you realize just how hard the average native German has been oppressed into Nazi PTSD because of Hitler. The very thought of being labelled as “racist” or “neo-Nazi” is enough to make them afraid of their own shadow. Conveniently enough, opposing to limitless muslim immigration is the equivalent of being labelled as such, Merkel made sure of that.
I know this because I met some of your average Germans — young, highly educated, successful — and basically their view on this is something like “they (muslim immigrants) are just in a new environment, they’ll get used to it eventually.” The only ones who dare speak up are working class, middle-aged citizens who actually have to deal with muslims on a daily basis in their not-so-rich neighborhoods.
Lawrence says
These people voted for Merkel. They are not innocent. But they are no worse than the rest of the West including America.
marina says
Hecker’s reason for this claim is that the Berlin attack “appears to be the act of a lone wolf”
Why doesn’t this idiot realize that there could be hundreds of these “lone wolf” attacks.
Lea says
I agree….for sure we don’t have “hunderds of those “lone wolfs” but with the millions of “not” (!) refugees we could have thousends of those “crazy lone wolfs” They don’t know how to spend theire time in Europe, so they need something to do to keep themself busy, and if it isn’t rape or steeling, than it must be killing our people….
So the only way, our politicians should do what Muslims do in their own Arabic country, f.ex. in Saudi Arabia : murders, rapers and thiefs : cutting theire heads, the hands or lash them.
An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth……that’s the best way to stop them!!!!!

Hi Folks, some news from Europe & Germany
Commencing with Germany, a parson spoke out, he did so several times before, about Merkerl and her policies. His entire sermon published in “Politically Incorrect”. The key or most important statement (IMHO) of Pastor Jakob Tscharntke: “…You brought again, Mrs. Merkel, hundredfold misery over the very people, for whom you swore in your oath of office, that you will work and give your best for their well being. I personal count you, Mrs. Merkel, already as one of the greatest criminals of mankind. I do not know if there ever was in the history of mankind a person, with the responsibility to rule, which has acted so directly/brazenly with the deliberate aim to cause as much harm to her own people, her own nation, as you did and do for at least the last 1.5 years….” This being a small excerpt from his sermon. My apologies if it sounds a bit clumsy, but it’s practically a life/ad hoc translation or transliteration.
There was also a picture published in the article, which is precisely to the point: http://pi-news.net/wp/uploads/2016/12/merkel_knast.jpeg the caption in the left picture, her profile reads: Wanted for High Treason against the German people/nation.
Also from Germany: The police of Munich will test if a case for the legal prosecution of the AfD-Landesvorsitzenden (“county government”) of Nordrhein-Westfalen, Marcus Pretzell. His crime? He tweeted the following: “When will the German Law strike back? That accursed lying has to stop. These are Merkel’s dead!” Wow! Isn’t the police force of Munich on the ball???
From Europe generally: The gun laws have just been tightened, for Europeans of course. Even the strikers of rifles have now to be registered and marked separately. Single fire auto loaders are now outlawed. In all 28 EU nations, even theatre weapons require now registration – and that was a **compromise **! What can one say? Perhaps the terrorists will now register their weapons and wont use fully automatics any more, just bolt actions and double barrels… In a way that move by Brussels is understandable, Europe’s brooding, and the scum wants Europeans to be helpless! Anybody who doubts that, just look at this law and think!!!!
How dies the saying, originally from the Ukraine, go? ‘Don’t forget to oil your petunias and roses.’ For American readers, the advice was to bury your guns well oiled and in oil paper, otherwise someone might get suspicious if you oil your….

Germany: Police chiefs warn of “further significant attacks”
……………………………..
Fröhliche Weihnachten, filthy Infidels!
Stan Lee says
The German police departments must become significant, they cannot wait for Merkel to order them to be significant, if she ever would order aggressive enforcement of German laws.
She hasn’t the gumption to enforce law to protect Germans in their own country. The Germans have become her sacrificial lambs in order to make her avoidance of strong leadership work. Yet, one hears rumblings that she could even be reelected by a people she has not elected to protect against a foreign presence that knows nothing but to follow the dictates of their quran.
These foreigners “bite the hands that feed them”, rightfully believe that German lives are worthless and it is the foreigner right to do as it pleases, with no German rights considered.
Wellington says
Further significant attacks? I’m shocked, shocked I say, that further significant attacks, most likely by a member of one of the following nefarious and unholy trinity: Buddhist monks, Orthodox Jewish rabbis or Lutherans, is in the offing.
Oh the humanity! And curse Buddhism, Judaism and Christianity for this wretchedness, this barbarism. And while you’re at it, be on your guard against the greatest malevolence of our age———Islamophobia.
Oliver says
Wellington. Love it. Reminds me of a Tampa Bay talk show host some years back
Some black. I mean Jesse Jackson pc. African American person complained that people seemed scared if they saw several black men or teens walking towards them. This commentator responded. Something like. I see 4 Hasids
Religious Jews
Walking towards me. I better cross thw street and hope that they don’t see me.
Right
somehistory says
Sometimes it’s just the actual words that are used that control the conversation.
For instance, you wrote “Tampa Bay” regarding a talk show. When I was a kid, spending a great portion of my life in and around Tampa, the bay was the water and the water only, of the “bay.” We might say “bay front” or use the word with other things in the area of the “bay,” but we never called it “Tampa Bay” for the town itself or businesses there.
That began with the football team, the Buccaneers who used the term.
Language means a lot. That is why many will not say moslims are involved heavily in terror or…that islam is at the root of most, maybe even all, of the terror actions in the past few years.
Oliver says
I live and primarily work in Clearwater. Nobody really knows where it is
So say Tampa Bay
Covers three counties.
somehistory says
I have been to Clearwater. I have gone swimming at the beach. I have sailed in Tampa Bay. I’ve crossed the bridge to St. Pete more times than I can count.
What I was saying, you may have misunderstood.
I am a native of Florida. When I lived in Tampa, no one called it Tampa Bay…not until the NFL guys did. But they changed the language for their own purposes…just as the language about terrorism has been altered…for a purpose.
I don’t call the City of Tampa “Tampa Bay”. Just like I don’t copy the language of those who wish to hide what islam is and islam does.
When I hear someone say, or read where someone has written Tampa Bay, I immediately think of the water…the bay…not the city. When I hear or read where someone is covering for islam, my mind says they wish to hide the truth of that foul creepy code of misbehavior.
I don’t care what you call Tampa. I was just making a point about the use of language…to hide things people don’t wish to be revealed, or to change the thinking…to change the conversation.
Oliver says

You are corrrct. I misunderstood what you meant

Heard a few minutes ago
The pope’s spokesman said the Berlin murders and the assassination of the Russian Ambassador had nothing to do with religion.
Due to inequality and prejudices.
How off the wall are these people
Damocles Junior says
Last night in Canberra a vehicle packed with gas cylinders exploded outside the offices of The Australian Christian Lobby. This is an organisation that lobbies the government on behalf of concerned Christians, needless to say gay marriage is high on the agenda.
Needless to say the explosion did considerable damage but somehow the driver survived, he is now in police guard in hospital. But the current explanation from the local police is; “This attack is NOT politically, idealistically or religiously motivated”!. But note, the Australian capital territory has it’s own legislature and is known to be very liberal. Obviously police forces everywhere say what they are told to say.and likewise the Pope will say what his political leanings dictate.
By contrast the director of the ACL made it quite clear that the organisation receives hate mail and death threats all the time. Surely the Vatican has security advisers who could tell the Pope what is happening in the real world.
Anne Smith says
I suppose in their own minds they are right – their idea of religion does not include murder and mayhem and mass killings, wife beating etc.
When they say this has nothing to do with religion, it doesn’t actually co-incide with their version of religion.
They just can’t accept that murder and evil can constitute a religion.
dumbledoresarmy says
From the article – “The breeding ground in which such acts can flourish has been negligently and systematically imported over the past year and a half.”
The past year and a half?
No, **the past fifty years or so, or however long it is since the first large contingent of Muslims was allowed to enter and settle in Germany**. Those Turkish Muslims may have caused, at that time, less trouble than the current influx. But letting them in was a bad idea nevertheless. Because they created an ‘entering wedge’. People got used to the idea of mosques, women in hijabs, etc. And now.. the deluge.
Matthieu Baudin says
Not only do we see our quality of life and optimism corroded by these random ongoing attacks against scattered individuals; there is also a loss in the world at large when once relatively peaceful and ordered centres of civilisation are reduced by the common denominator of violent insecurity. In particular our cities; Berlin, Paris, Brussels, London, Amsterdam, Moscow, Tokyo, New York and others have been citadels of civilisation, places to inspire those who live in relative insecurity around the world and wish to build better lives for their families and communities. The world as a whole will benefit from our survival and success, something that will not be possible if we tolerate potential assassins living amongst us.

-Little story from south of Germany, close to Stuttgart. Three refugees try to rape a 15 year old, getting two years on probation. Her grandfather, commented open: why the government does not provide goats for these people if they all ready allow them in. Okay, not smart to say, but fine with the quran. He now serves a one year prison time for hate speech.
-A family friend, lawyer and professor at a law school, told he know from 60 families, where the parents
spoke worried about the safety of there kids. The government took there kids, to protect them from right winged mindset.
-The refugee crises totally relied on volunteers: but only 3%of the volunteers had migrant background. So where in this case is this united Muslim brotherhood? No donations from mosques or muslim communities.
-Helmut Schmidt (SPD – the left winged party of Germany) stated already in the early 70s: if the muslim immigration is not stopped, we risk peace in Germany/Europe. Nobody seemed to have listened.
The violence is going since decades… and if you are a victim and you wonder why the news do not report, you get the answer: this does not fit into the picture we want to paint from our migrant citizens.
Painting vs truth!
-Own experience: Workers from asylum homes do recommend males from Africa, to go downtown and search for the less attractive girls, try to get get them pregnant and there for get the allowance to stay.
-the brother of a coworker, was send to France for student exchange, the teacher demand that the German pupils and only the German native once, had to knee down and ask the French for forgiveness and promised never again to attack France. a) You really wonder why Germans do not act? b)question yourself how popular French is getting for them.
– Sorry was a bit more, but I need to get it of my soul. It hurts to see my nation die. close to 100 years of socialism and still not called out for what it is….
davious says
I’ve been reading a lot about post-WW2 lately. There was a lot of debate as to what to do with Germany, since they kept starting these big wars. One of the plans presented to Truman was by a Dr. Hooton of Harvard. The plan called for “genetically transforming the German nation by encouraging mating of German women with non-German men, who would be brought into the country in large numbers”. This way they could breed out the German mindset. Merkel has put this plan into place. There is no way anyone could be this stupid – this had to be intentional social engineering.
John Doe says
If You watch German commercials: TV and printed, the new ideal family is mixed race. Black man, blond woman. What was the average IQ of an African 80? (Ignoring the problem mixed race families have in general: higher in family violence, higher divorce raid,…)
Even the UN report on human resources stated: 80% of the African population is considered mental disordered and totally unfit for any work in the west. But welcome!! If You see a state as a family or a company… would you accept your daughter getting pregnant from a handicapped person? Would you employ somebody that only does cost you money? Germany is not an immigration country otherwise we would have laws for it. Canada: does not matter if you are a professor from Havard or a refugee, if you or a family is seriously sick, you are not going to stay. The cost on the healthcare system for somebody that never paid in is not acceptable. But in Germany… Does not matter that close to 1.5 million retired people who worked all their life no life with out electricity. The gov tells: no money to balance out retirement money but agrees on billions to help refugees who are: 90% not able to read and write in their own language, show zero interest to integrate. Friend of mine teaching refugees German, as a paid teacher, she has classes of 20 students. She never had more than 3 at the same time, never staying longer than 30mins, coming and going how they like.
