I’ve been on this for some years now: Perrin’s First Law of Terrorism: Terror suspects are ALWAYS known to authorities in advance. Always. And, again! In Vienna, while the story keeps predictably shifting around after yesterday’s attack(s), it is no surprise that the prime suspect was just released from prison early. He had been locked up for suspected TERRORISM!

The Islamist marauded through the streets wearing a fake explosives belt and injured 22 as he fired at random before he was ‘neutralised’ – shot dead by police at 8.09pm.

Fejzulai killed an elderly man and woman, a young male passer-by and a waitress.

A 28-year-old police officer was shot but is said to be in a stable condition, while seven civilians who were injured are in a critical, life-threatening condition.

Fejzulai had been jailed in April 2019 for trying to join Islamic State but he was granted early release in December under juvenile law because he was under 19-years-old at the time of his offending.

Fejzulai was not deemed capable of carrying out an attack and Interior Minister Karl Nehammer admitted that the terrorist had fooled the country’s judiciary be enrolling on a de-radicalisation course.

He even broadcast his plans on social media. And, a “de-radicalisation course????” Fool us once, huh? How about this: a rope is impossible to fool, and it guarantees no follow-up attacks. Diversity rope is our greatest strength!

I hope to remember this one, after the “big day” for the prepper newscast, which is proving much more popular than one would think.

And, as for popular, my but we have some interest around here, lately. Thanks. Quality will improve tomorrow. I promise. I suppose some of you might be looking for my final pronouncements on the circus. I made those months ago, though I will try (and today I’m kind of tired) to come up with one more something or another.

Diversity in Vienna

It’s becoming so common one can just change the dates and the cities and have a close enough version of the full story.

At least two people have been killed and 15 others injured in six gun attacks and a reported ‘suicide bomb explosion’ near a synagogue in Vienna on the city’s final night before coronavirus lockdown.

A huge manhunt is currently underway for multiple attackers armed with rifles following the horrific shootings, with the first near the synagogue reported at 8pm local time.

One attacker is thought to have ‘blown themselves up’ during the rampage with another arrested and one shot dead by police. A police officer is also thought to have been shot and seriously injured. Vienna mayor Michael Ludwig said 15 people were admitted to hospital, seven with serious injuries.

The rampage comes on the last evening before Austria goes into lockdown, with bars and restaurants in the country closed from midnight tonight and people flocking to enjoy one last night of freedom.

Shocking footage showing a man carrying an assault rifle and sprinting through the streets of Vienna and firing off shots was shared on social media, shortly after reports of the attack. More distressing footage appears to show the moment a man is shot by an attacker.

Interior Minister Karl Nehammer told Austrian broadcaster ORF: ‘It appears to have been a terror attack.’

He added that the perpetrators are on the loose and ‘heavily armed and dangerous’ and the army had been asked to guard key locations in the city to allow police officers to pursue the attackers

Of course, Johnson, Macron, and the rest say they are “shocked,” and that “we will concede nothing.” How this scenario playing out for what, the 500th time, could shock anyone is beyond me. And, too much has been conceded already. You’re in a damned war. Fight like it and win!

Happy All Saints Day

You learn something every day. Yesterday, I learned several things. First, in the age of anti-social distancing, people improvised delivery chutes on their porch rails, pipe sections designed to expedite candy to the little goblins waiting below. Second, despite the doomsaying, a large number of families carried on as normal last night. And third, I learned that October 31st is Saint Luke’s Day in the Serbian Orthodox Church. Happy belated St. Luke’s, all! And, today, we celebrate all the others.

Hello, and happy November.

On Friday afternoon, I received a communique from Freedom Prepper high command. For unspecified TOS violations, Facebook issued a temporary (two-month!) restriction on “complex entities interactions” by FP’s hierarchy. This may have a moderate impact on material promotion. I’m going on three years of Facebergbook sobriety and I couldn’t be happier, though this was a crystal-clear reminder as to why I left and why I’m so happy about it. It also came the same week that an FP daily news video was inexplicably banned by YouTube.

Again, I am not on Facebook so I don’t know what, exactly, goes on there beyond spying, pitiful sales conversion, and low-IQ idiocy. Earlier this year, I removed the ability to link directly from this site to Facebook, along with a few other limitations which were received with minor reader protestation. It appears I made the right call. Accordingly, I want to do it again, even if that means a minor reduction in traffic (which is okay, because again, pitiful [nonexistent] sales conversion).

As many of you know or suspect, I am not an agent of the Empire nor a member of the worshipful bankster class. As such, I think protection under 18 USC §§ 1030, 2319, et seq, is essentially off-limits to me – not that I really want or need it. Here’s what I can do: I can tell those of you who care about it.  I had toyed with the idea of requesting that no one post any material from this website to Facebook at any time or for any reason. Of course, I have no way to enforce that, so there we are. Not that it really matters.

As I will explain on tomorrow morning’s FP newscast (barring further censorship), I get why some are still (quasi-justifiably) on Farcebook. Enjoy yourselves if that’s possible, just know that Zuck and friends are not your friends.

Thank You,

PL

PS: We did it! October was the heaviest, best month at the old blog in two and a half years. Thanks.

“Halloween” Music 2020

The following list is unchanged from 2019 and will be the final edition of this series. I’m moving on from popular culture, especially the materialistic, the hedonistic, and the (even partially) occult. It is, somewhat to my dismay, not 1982 anymore. Looking around, even as to “kids’ activities,” we simply cannot continue to ameliorate darkness. Still, some of these songs are good, great even. Enjoy for what it is. Happy All Saints Eve and All Saints Day, in advance.

Note: some of these links may have been disabled or changed. Sorry. Think of it as a suggestion list if nothing else.

The music:

Werewolves of London, Warren Zevon, 1978.

Werewolves, Alternate Take, Zevon, 2007 Release. I know more than a few people don’t like this version. Then again, more than a few people can be wrong. Cool, jazzy, and you always have the ability to listen to the damned original…

Long Cool Woman, The Hollies, 1971. No Halloween, per se, but fits with:

Devil Woman, Cliff Richard, 1976.

Evil Woman, ELO, 1975. All these women…

Witchy Woman, The Eagles, 1972. More women…

Self Control, Laura Branigan version, RIP, beautiful, 1984. The best-looking artist on the list.

Legend of Wooley Swamp, Charlie Daniels Band, 1980. Lucius Clay approves.

David Pumpkins – Elevator Skit, SNL and Tom Hanks, 2016. Not a song. Just funny.

Monster Mash, Misfits, 1997. Yeah, I have trouble understanding the words too.

Mash, Original, Bobby Pickett (with Dick Clark), 1962. Classic; those facial expressions.

Dragula, Rob Zombie, 1998. Burn through ’em.

Thriller (Full), Michael Jackson, 1982. Before we knew the real MJ (RIP) horrors. With commentary from Price (RIP).

Poison, Alice Cooper, 1989. A few Cooper songs I could have gone with; I chose this one.

House of Fire, Cooper, 1989. And this one.

Ghost Riders in the Sky, Johnny Cash’s Version, 1979. Scary with a message.

The Time Warp, RHPS Version, Richard O’Brien, 1974. No need to suffer a theater full of freaks. (They still do that?) You’re welcome.

Sweet Transvestite, RHPS Version, Tim Curry, 1974. Probably the only trans-friendly post I’ll ever make.

Blue Moon, The Marcels, 1961. Shout if you know why I included this one.

The Zoo, Scorpions, 1980. Why not?

Nightmare on My Street, DJ Jaz Will Smith, 1988. Just remembered this one!

Pet Sematary, The Ramones, 1989. My personal favorite – possibly tied with Werewolves.

Sematary, Last Live Show, 1996. You don’t know this…

Stranger in Town, Extended Studio, Toto, 1984. Is your hero a criminal?

Uprising, Sabaton, 2010. Scary history. Great gym song!

Dr. Demento Halloween Special, Demento, Westwood One, 1986. Hour and a half of crazy.

Little Red Riding Hood, Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs, 1966. For the g-g-g-generation.

Swamp Witch, Jim Stafford, 1974. Wonder if she knew Lucious?

Purple People Eater, Sheb Worley, 1958. Currently seeking the DNC nomination…

Ghostbusters, Ray Parker, Jr., 1984. Can’t believe I didn’t have this one earlier.

…and…

Here Comes Santa Claus, Gene Autry, 1947. Oops. Too early – for another week or two…

Have a great All Saints Eve!

The cigar-chomping, government-bashing, culture-questioning madness shall resume soon. Oh, curious about how Tom Ironsides spent a Halloween evening in 2018? Check out Chapter Ten of The Substitute.

I never ask anything of you cheapskates beloved readers. However, tomorrow is the end of the month and we’re really close to a traffic record of sorts (five visitors, two views…), so kindly lend a hand. Get to clicking and maybe spread the word with a few links here and there. Then, repeat that next month and forever. Thanks. P

At some point, for a small price(?), there’ll be a little something (else) in it for you:
