Once again, the public is betrayed by authorities who were reluctant to even so much as mention that the Lyon bombing was suspected to be a jihad attack. Jihad Watch reported that it pointed to a possible jihad attack. And, while early stages may not have confirmed it, surely it was suspected by authorities, but — ahead of French EU elections– those authorities only announced that they were investigating a “terror conspiracy“.
Then came more news that pointed to a likelihood that the attack was indeed jihad-motivated; no confirmation, however. We all know the price of accusing without proof if indeed suspicion is never confirmed. The suspect was identified as an IT student of Algerian nationality”. He was arrested “along with his mother and father and another Algerian student who is a family friend”. The implication was that he was the suspected bomber and that it was a jihad attack, but still, no word from authorities that they were even investigating a possible jihad attack.
Had it been a “white supremacist” family arrested in the Lyon nail bomb attack, the world would be in uproar, as it still is over the Charlottesville attack that saw one woman tragically killed. But this was an Algerian Muslim arrested, along with his parents. He and they are a protected class in society. In France alone, over 250 innocent people have been murdered in jihad attacks since 2015, and over 900 injured. Their lives and well-being have not seemed to matter the same as the one sad case of the Charlottesville woman.
Now, days later after public impact of this jihad attack has lessened….
The 24 year-old IT student admitted to fabricating the parcel bomb, stating that he planned the attack weeks ago. He claims to be a lone wolf attacker, with no outside assistance.
BNL News identified him on Twitter as Mohamed Hickem. Furthermore….
Investigators also searched his computer, finding documents about jihad. The suspect reportedly admitted having links to jihadist groups during his interrogation…He bought a remote control device and batteries two weeks later in May. It was one of these purchases that gave the police the critical clue.
“Lyon bomber finally confesses to French police”, France 24, May 19, 2019:
The suspect in the Lyon bombing finally confessed after 48 hours of intense questioning by French police, admitting that he planted the device that left 13 injured on May 24.
The 24 year-old IT student admitted to fabricating the parcel bomb, stating that he planned the attack weeks ago. He claims to be a lone wolf attacker, with no outside assistance.
In late March, he bought the explosive triacetone and steel ball bearings, before purchasing electric wiring in early April. He bought a remote control device and batteries two weeks later in May. It was one of these purchases that gave the police the critical clue.
“We have enough evidence – including his DNA – to get him,” a police source told Reuters
Jihad documents found
Investigators also searched his computer, finding documents about jihad. The suspect reportedly admitted having links to jihadist groups during his interrogation.
According to French law, he can be detained without charge until Friday morning. The police are currently still questioning his parents and one of his brothers.
Bomb planted in heart of historic city
The package bomb was placed in front of a bakery near a busy corner of two commercial streets at around 17:30 pm (1530 GMT) on a sunny Friday evening.
The area was promptly evacuated and cordoned off by police and emergency services.
The blast occurred on the narrow strip of land between the Saone and Rhone rivers in the historic centre of the southeast city. Lyon is the third-biggest city in France with a population of 2.3 million.
“There was an explosion and I thought it was a car crash,” Eva, a 17-year-old student who was about 15 metres (50 feet) from the blast site, told .
“There were bits of electric wire near me, and batteries and bits of cardboard and plastic. The windows were blown out,” she added.
“I was working, serving customers, and all of a sudden there was a huge ‘boom’,” said Omar Ghezza, a baker who works nearby.
“We thought it had something to do with renovation work,” he said.
France on high alert
France has been on high alert owing to a wave of deadly jihadist terror attacks since the country’s worst such attack on November 2015 in Paris. Over 250 people have been killed in the terror attacks…..
ToBeFrank says
This has been the NEW NORMAL in western Europe for quite sometime now. Underscore Jihad attacks and promote right wingers (Patriots) as the real threat.
Rufolino says
Absolutely, it’s become predictable.
In W Europe, governments are conspiring to conceal the truth about jihad, hoping the People won’t notice what’s going on. Many people don’t.
Governments are betraying the people they were elected to serve.. It’s criminally manipulative.

Not only Western governments are concealing the nature and the reality of the islamic jihad against their own people but they are actually collaborating with these same jihadists, arming, training and funding them and even transporting them from one location to another to further their own satanic globalist agenda! As reported a few days ago, US-led coalition aircraft dropped food and medicine to ISIS remnants in western Iraq! This is indeed a factual news witnessed and reported by the people on the ground who saw the whole thing and yet no Western media has reported this:

Firstly, the *only* reports I have seen of this is from Shi’ite propaganda sites like the Iran state mouthpiece christianblood cites above.
Then it is interesting that the very worst thing that christianblood can think of is that the West might be providing food and medicine to anyone.
Does he have any actual problem with the Jihad terror attack above? Not so you’d know–he has many times in the past refused to condemn Jihad terror attacks.

APF, is there any connection with Jannat, and Janet Airlines (Area 51)?
gravenimage says
David, I don’t think a fleet of US government planes dating from 1972 would be named after the Islamic paradise.
Officially, “Janet” stands for “Joint Air Network for Employee Transportation”, which is what it is–a system for transporting government employees.
mortimer says
And did you notice that almost ALL police and news reports have STOPPED saying ‘NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM’ ? Most people would sneer at them now if they said it. Our leaders have consistently lied to us.
They realized that ISLAM has something to do with ISLAM.
mortimer says
It appears that French police are learning about the jihad doctrine. Finally.
They also need to learn the COMPANION TEACHING of JIHADISM which is the MOTIVE of jihad: “AL WALAA WAL BARAA”.
If they master these TWO DOCTRINES, investigators will have most of what they need to know about ISLAMIC TERRORISM.
Hugh Fitzgerald says
To be noted: while all the other newspapers– Le Figaro, Le Parisien – identified the bomber as “Algerian” in their early accounts, one paper, the prestigious and mendacious Le Monde (Ionesco called it, scornfully, “the paper that everyone reads'”), only identified him as having been a student of informatique (i.e, computer science). Two days passed, with Le Monde continuing to resist giving any more information, and then, finally, long after the other papers,, it identified the bomber as an algerien, one Mohammed Hicaam M. Le Monde has a long record of being hesitant about identifying terrorists as Muslims; it’s been a great defender of Islam since the days of Eric Rouleau, who always had such good things to say about the islamic Republic of Iran. Its coverage of Israel is unsurprisingly hostile. Its coverage of the “Palestinians” is — just as unsurprisingly — deeply sympathetic.
mortimer says
French Leftards are obviously still running the French media and they are enforcing SOLIDARITY on their party doctrine that ‘the NOBLE SAVAGES can do no wrong’.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
… Its coverage of the “Palestinians” is — just as unsurprisingly — deeply sympathetic.
Fitzgerald, do you recall how much of Israel’s property was bought by Zionists way back in the pre-1949 days? The buying was from absentee Arab landlords, but is there a percentage figure out there quantifying how much of Israel was “taken” by Jews the old fashioned way, in the mortgage office?
Hugh Fitzgerald says
As far as I know, all of the land owned by Jews in Mandatory Palestine — before the 1948-49 war — was bought and paid for, often at exorbitant prices, much of it from absentee landlords in Beirut, Amman, and Istanbul. Much of that land was bought not by individuals but by the Jewish National Fund (JNF), the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association (PICA). I remember reading — I think it was in Samuel Katz’s excellent “Battleground” –that in the early 1940s Jews in Mandatory Palestine were paying more to Arab owners for land than was being paid in the same years for the richest farmland in the world, in Iowa. It was only after the 1948-49 war that the Israeli government took over lands that had been abandoned by Arab owners who had left or led, fully expecting to soon return in the wake of victorious Arab armies.
As for the category of ownerless “state and waste lands,” Article 6 of the Mandate states that “the Administration of Palestine, while ensuring that the rights and position of other sections of the population are not prejudiced, shall facilitate Jewish immigration under suitable conditions and shall encourage, in co-operation with the Jewish agency referred to in Article 4, close settlement by Jews on the land, including State lands and waste lands not required for public purposes.” Those “state and waste lands” became the property of the Israeli government. As to the incredible feats of land reclamation by Jewish settlers in the 1930s and 1940s, the best account is by an American agronomist whose name, alas, escapes me; I remember only that he was from North Carolina.
Today the same exorbitant prices are being paid by Jews to buy Arab-owned land in Jerusalem. Of course, the Arab sellers are taking a terrific risk, that of being murdered by fellow Arabs opposed to any sale of land to Jews, so one could argue that those sky-high prices are justified.

Walter Sieruk says
That vicious jihad nail bomb that injured so many people in Lyon, France may serve as an example of Muslim ungratefulness and unthankfulness for letting them enter France to live. This this further exposes the Muslim’s Islamic contempt for people who are Westerners and Western civilization, Western laws.
This Muslim violence may be yet better explained by one of the fables of Aesop which is entitled THE FARMER AND THE VIPER. So here it is “Once in ancient Greece there was a farmer outside on a very cold winter day walking in if field to make sure that everything is in order and as it should be. The farmer came upon a half-froze viper about to die from the bitter cold. The kind yet foolish farmer took pity on the viper and in an action of kindness put it his is vest jacket to warms and up and thus save its life. The viper warned up revived and then bit farmer through the vest jacket. So the kind but foolish farmer died a slow painful death in awful agony because he felt sorry of the viper and saved it life. The point to this fable is the no amount of kindness will change and vicious and evil nature.
So it is with those Muslim migrants who were allowed to enter France to live . Those violent migrants who are Muslims will not be impress and change because kindness of Westerners. This is because those violent Muslims have that ungrateful dangerous viper nature because of their venomous and violent religion which is Islam.
Lilith Wept says
And when the farmer said to the snake “ why did you bite and kill me? I saved your life! “ and the snake said …..” you New I was a snake when you licked me up. When I bit you I was just following my nature and being a snake”
And this is what’s going to happen to all the liberal leftists that are supporting moslems and the spreading of Islam in Western countries.
It will be a poor comfort to the rest of us because after the Moslem obliterate their useful idiots who facilitated the moslems take over of western countries, then it will be our turn.
But we shouldn’t expect moslems to be grateful to western countries for allowing them to immigrate. Moslems are superior, kuffar inferior…and moslems are told in the Koran that Allah gave them the earth, and all its resources. So moslems consider that they are just claiming what’s already theirs when they immigrate to a western country.
Moslems are indoctrinated with a hatred of all non moslems.
Raymond Ibrahim says in his book Sword and Scimitar, that the Moslem ummah should be called a super tribe. That as a tribe ,all belonging to the tribe are humans and treated humanely, all outsiders are not human and not treated humanely. We see this in primitive human societies. Only your tribe are human. Islam was born in a primitive violent tribal society and it has remained primitive and tribal and become more violent .
One of moslems own philosophers Ibn Khaldun ( 1406) described the Arabs of his time ( let alone those from Muhammeds more primitive era 8 centuries earlier) as “ the most savage human beings that exist. Compared with sedentary peoples they are on a level with wild untamable animals and dumb beasts of prey. Such people are the Arabs”
And moslems haven’t changes since Ibn Khalduns time .
After the Gates of Vienna moslems were weak , now they are strong and are doing exactly what they did before the defeat at Vienna. They are resuming the jihad to make the world Islamic. They never stopped jihad it now they feel strong in the face of western pandering and constant giving in to Moslem demands and the jihad level has reached unprecedented levels. Not only do we have the violence and terrorism that Mohammed used, but we have the Muslim Brotherhood plan of Civilization Jihad, Lawfare, and enlisting the unbelievers to help Moslem in spreading Islam and taking over.
And it’s ironic that some Moslem immigrate to take advantage of all the West offers, education, opportunity, lack of discrimination, medical treatment, that’s NOT Available in their Islamic home country, or is only for the rich elite in their home country.
And then these Moslem start trying to obliterate everything that made the opportunities, medical treatment, education possible….even using the benefits they have received from living in our country, to help them spread Islam even more and take over our country , .and making the Western host country into a copy of the Crapistan they came from.
Other moslems immigrate with one express purpose, Hijra, to flood western countries wirh moslems, their women outbreed the native population , and all for the purpose of taking over this Western country and making it an Islamic country.
Never forget that moslems are commanded in the Koran to “ fight against the unbelievers until there is no religion but Allah’s” , to fight until the entire world is Islamic, every country is an Islamic country and every person a moslems ( or if the moslems are merciful then Christians and Jews have the option of becoming dhimmi).
This is why moslems are in our countries…….
And the so called moderate moslems will go along with the violent ones….to save their own skins and to benefit from anything that the violent jihadi achieve for Islam.
We should never trust a Moslem or any oath or promise they make. Not in any capacity ,not as a doctor, nurse ,not the “nice Moslem I work, with, live near or go to school with” ….,not as police and especially not as a politician. A leopard doesn’t change its spots and a snake doesn’t change its nature to bite and kill…..and either do moslems.
Walter Sieruk says
In the different nations of Europe as a whole 91% of the victims of Islamic violence ,as in many cases deadly Islamic violence .The jihadists use firearms as well as using bombs .Even using themselves as human bombs time bombs ,just waiting to go off in the many cities of Europe . It only takes a few out of many to inflect much murderous harm. Those jihadists engaging in Islamic suicide/homicide bombings attacks is for a large part, the outcome the extreme brainwashing that is performed in Islamic mind programming centers which are mosques and madrasas. In those jihad mind control places students are thoroughly indoctrinated into the jihadist mindset of committing murderous bombing attacks in the jihad for the advancement of Islam. As Islam’s “holy book,” the Quran instructs in 9:111. , for example, “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain they kill and are killed.” Therefore, those who come out of those Quran based mind programming centers .mosque and madrasas, are so terribly harmed and damaged that they are literally, as it has be rightfully called, “dangerous to self and others.” This results in jihad suicide /homicide attack in which those jihadists who commit such murderous actions are so very deluded that they think of that jihad mass murders as “martyrdom operations.” This is Islamic delusion of the most heinous and malicious kind.
This may be, somewhat, explained by the narrative from the fable of Aesop which is entitled THE SCORPION AND THE FROG So “Once upon a time there was a scorpion who really wanted to get to the other side of the river, but he could not swim. Therefore, the scorpion begged a frog to carry him on his back across the river. The kind but foolish frog agreed and then half-way across the river the scorpion stung the frog. In shock and horror the dying frog asks the scorpion “Why did you sting me since this means that we both are going to die” The scorpion replied “The reason that I stung you even though we both will now die is because that just what a scorpion, by nature, does.”
In conclusion, just as that scorpion in the fable had proven himself by the dangerous and deadly, to self and others, because of his nature. The violent and murderous jihadists of Islam are as that scorpion, dangerous so self and other because they is their nature because they have been thought programmed in the ways of the violent and murdering jihad of Islam. As always stated above ,this is the sad and tragic reality of Islamic terrorism in today’s world.

A couple of years ago, my niece mentioned to me that she was planning to spend her honeymoon in Paris. She knew that I had traveled the world, courtesy of the U.S. Navy, and asked me what I thought…
I mentioned that Paris was “interesting” but that there are some significant security issues according to the US State Department website. I suggested, as an alternative, that she check out Budapest…
Ultimately, she and her husband spent their honeymoon in Paris. After she returned, I asked her how she liked Paris. She told me that she should’ve gone to Budapest.

And guaranteed that Macron, Merkel, May, the present pontifex maximus, the EU as a whole, Trudeau, virtually all of the Democratic Party of the USA, sad to say Sweden as a whole too, et al. continue in denial mode respecting what Islam intends for all of the West.
I know of no age in man’s history when those in charge of freedom, fragile as it has been in all ages, have been so abysmally deficient respecting what it will take to preserve freedom. The continued extension to Islam being given a pass, in light of how awful Islam truly is where really any kind of freedom is concerned, arguably functions as the “finest” example in all of history of continuing to stupidly characterize an enemy of liberty as not an enemy of liberty. Here Islam “wins over” both Marxism and Nazism.
Islam will destroy freedom whenever it can. Proceed from this assumption, and if you don’t then it is only a question of what the hell is the matter with you.

The jihadist or jihadists attacks in Western nations ,as seen in the recent vicious jihad nail bomb attack in Lyon ,France. Likewise there have been other murderous jihadist terror attacks in other cities
of other Western nations,as in Dusseldorf ,Germany, or be the Muslim terrorists in the other cities of the different nations of Europe as Strasbourg, Stockholm, London, Manchester ,Brussels , Paris, Nice, Berlin ,Madrid. Those jihad-minded Muslim terrorists who engage in those vicious Islamic terror attacks cannot be and will not be reasoned with. They will not respond to either logic or reason. They aren’t interested, at all, in reason or logic. So they have to be dealt with by the use a strong force of might. For the use of brute might is the only language that Muslim terrorists will understand . Therefore that is the language that should and must be used on them.

Well, it happened again , that is just after post my above essay I then went to log in on my Facebook account site .That Facebook entity announced that it put me on a thirty day ban for “hate speech ” under their Rules of community Standards” Which as all informed reader of this site know are politically correct pro -Islamic standards .
It might be asked “What twas my “affront ?” What had done on the date of 5/31/19 *I had strongly denounced that jihad nail bomb attack i n Lyon , France. That jihadist attack was real ,actual , vicious hate put ii into practice. Apparently ,Facebook cares nothing about that ,at all.
So with all this taken into account ,i therefore may consider that thirty day Facebook band as a ‘Badge of Honor’
