Well, that didn’t take long. I was a bit off with my Thursday prediction.

As I mentioned the other night, I really have to move on from the Londonistan attack.

And I had planned a little finale. I’ll just run the headlines here and now:

I planned some sort of tie-in with the Orlando shooting (not ISIS – that we know of) today and something about guns and crime. Use your imagination on all that.

I was going to mention the London bartender who fought the jihadis with bottles (because he can’t have a gun) and the ridiculous information known, now and previously, about the three dead attackers. TeeVee celebrities almost. Literally in one case. Had them but let them go. Nothing to see there. Their names are now public knowledge: I think it’s Swiss Cheese, Pig Fodder, and Thank God That Other Son Of A Bitch Is Dead – or something.

Then there’s the Congressional Cajun that wants to hunt the savages down and kill them. He’s new to Congress – only in his first six months – and still talks some sense.

But I can’t get into any of that now because, as predicted…

ISIS Strikes Melbourne

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the shooting and hostage situation that left two men dead in Melbourne overnight.

Live Melbourne siege: Turnbull questions how Yacqub Khayre was on parole – live
One man died, three police officers were injured and a woman taken hostage before police shot Khayre dead in Brighton, south-east of Melbourne. Follow all today’s developments

The gunman, named by police on Tuesday as Yacqub Khayre, took a woman hostage in an apartment building in Brighton, 11km south-east of Melbourne’s central business district, on Monday night.

Police shot him dead after he emerged from the complex with a sawn-off shotgun, shooting at officers. They then discovered the body of another man in the foyer of the apartment block.

Three police officers were shot during the siege, although their injuries were not life-threatening. Two police suffered hand injuries and a third was injured in the face and neck area.

The hostage had been called to the apartment through an escort service on Monday, police said. On Tuesday police said the woman was traumatised but not hurt. The dead man had been working at the serviced apartments.

Isis published a statement via a news agency linked to the group, saying the attack had been carried out by one of its soldiers.

“The attack in Melbourne, Australia, was carried out by a soldier of the Islamic State in response to the call for targeting the subjects of the coalition states,” said a statement published on the group’s Amaq news agency and translated by Reuters.

The Seven Network reported the gunman called the organisation saying “This is for IS [Islamic State]. This is for al-Qaida.”

Not as dramatic as London, or London, or Manchester, or Orlando, or San Bernardino, or Paris, or Brussels, or Paris again, or 7/7, or Egypt, or Afghanistan, or 9/11 (kind of a pattern, huh?), or any of the other hundreds of recent attacks. Only three injured and one dead, Down Under. The “soldier of the Islamic State” doesn’t count. Ef’ him.

And, of course and AS ALWAYS, the SOB, one Yacqub Khayre, was well known to authorities. In his case he beat a previous terrorism charge from 2009. Then, SOB and his three accomplices (all either Somali or Lebanese Australian “citizens”) were just trying to kill soldiers at a barracks in Sydney. Nothing to see there. SOB dodged a bullet back then. Luckily he wasn’t so fortunate this time.

Australian “citizen” Yacqub Khayre seen here leaving court for PREVIOUS TERRORISM CHARGES! Julian Smith/AAP/The Guardian.

Our wise apologists might note that the IRA never carried out attacks in Australia. These monsters do. They’re in a war against all the West, not just London.

No word on whether any idiot pop stars are planning a vigil but we can rest assured they want unity – especially with the people trying to kill us (and slowly succeeding). The media will likely move right on past this one. Muslims are already planning fake indignation about “Islamophobia” stemming from the next attack. And that one is coming soon…

As usual, as always, at least one of the London terrorists was previously known to authorities:

One of the three jihadists who murdered revellers in central London on Saturday had been reported to the anti-terror police on at least two occasions, it has been claimed.

A former friend of the terrorist, who was shot dead by police along with two accomplices, claimed he had been radicalised while watching YouTube videos and said he contacted the authorities ­after becoming concerned over his friend’s extremist views.

A neighbour also claimed she had contacted police in Barking, east London, after the suspect tried to convert her children to Islam and radicalise them. The man is not being named at the request of the police.

Every. Single. Time. Think about that. There’s another attack coming soon, maybe by the end of the week. The police, MI5, MI6, or someone knows who’s behind that too – before it happens. Will I. Am and Ariana Grande left that thought out of their “we won’t be divided” fundraiser vigil.

Are these guys always just to be a reactionary force? Niklas Halle’n/AFP/The Telegraph.

And, Mrs. May, it’s not the YouTube. One can learn just about anything on-line. It’s the mindset of a certain brand of people. Ban the later, not the former.

This blurb also explains away the idiots’ Islamist apologies and excuses expressed by comparing them to the IRA. The IRA did not, the New IRA does not, seek to convert and radicalise anyone. Theirs was (is) a struggle for independence in their own land. They want to be left alone by the Crown. The Jihadis want to invade and conquer a place where they don’t belong. The equivocating helps them.

The IRA was (is) geo-political. It has nothing to do with “Catholic vs. Protestant” anymore than the American Uncivil War had to do with “Church of Christ vs. Episcopalian.” ISIS is geo-religious. That’s why, wherever they are, they commit their evils in the name of Allah.

The IRA operated in some form or fashion for about 100 years. The Islamists have been active in the UK for about 15. That’s why the IRA has a higher death count (in the UK) – and ISIS is catching up at warp speed. And ISIS/al Qaeda/et al is an international movement; their global numbers dwarf the IRA’s, to approach even state actor levels.

Diversity-mongers, please quit with the excuses and write-offs.

And please stop the denials and the “shock” when these things happen. “We don’t know if the truck driver was Muslim. White-Hispanic? Not even sure it’s terror related.” BS. The police know. They even have names and files.

Always.

More Thoughts on London and May

Vox Day commented on Theresa May’s comments about last night’s attack: (My reactions in red);

While it beats the usual “diversity is stronger than hate” ritual, the UK Prime Minister’s new anti-terrorism program falls well short of one with any chance of success:

‘We cannot and must not pretend things can continue as they are. Things need to change and they need to change in four important ways.’

Defeating the extreme Islamist ideology to make them understand ‘pluralistic British values’ are superior

Ending the ‘safe space’ online for the plotting of terror attacks

Continuing military action against ISIS terrorists in Iraq and Syria

Tougher prison sentences at home for terrorist offences

First, the problem is not “the extreme Islamist ideology”, the problem is Islam. Period. The West will continue to suffer these attacks so long as Muslims are permitted to reside in the West. There is a reason why Western nations periodically expelled troublesome minorities, and they will have to do so again if they prefer peaceful societies to diverse ones. The West will either embrace Reconquista 2.0 or it will cease to exist.

Amen. The pot itself is now melting.

Second, pluralistic British values are not only not superior, they are not even coherent. “Pluralistic values” is a self-contradiction.

Yes. The “native” values never differed that much at all, as to nearly seem identical to the non-British, from Nottingham to Wales to Scotland. E Pluribus Unum. Multi de Bellum.

Third, the problem is not safe spaces online, but the safe spaces in the West. It’s very difficult to commit an attack in London or Manchester if you reside in Libya and your travel is banned. Not so tough if you reside in Bradford.

I thought May’s attack on socials was as stupid as Kathy Griffin’s attack on “old white men.” It’s not Farcebook and the Twits, Mrs. May; it’s you and your policies.

Fourth, fighting them there instead of here hasn’t worked since 2001. It’s not going to work in 2017 either. Military action against Islam is needed in the UK, Europe, and the USA, not in Iraq and Syria.

As I noted last night, as always, Iraq and Syria (et al) do not matter. Bombing there does nothing except create more “refugees.”

Fifth, imprisoning terrorists has historically proven counterproductive everywhere from Egypt to Germany. It usually leads to more terrorist attacks and hostage-taking. Even simple deportation is probably preferable. And the prospect of prison is not likely to dissuade suicide bombers. Only severe reprisals will suffice to do that.

The leaders of the West are still shirking their duties. They’re trying to win a war without fighting it. That is why new leadership is required. And that is why the God-Emperor should now declare martial law and imprison the judges who are illegally attempting to tie his hands.

A slight disagreement, here. The “leaders” aren’t just shirking responsibilities – they are actively adding to the problem. Trump has ancient precedent to round up dissenters, to include judges and members of Congress, but he will not do it. He won’t even stop the enemy from Taqiya-ing in the street in front of his home. The same goes for May. Instead I foresee some more pointless missile strikes in the near future in the usual pointless places.

***

On Farcebook I’ve seen people echoing Trump’s sentiment that the courts need to “give us back our rights.” That’s not going to happen and it shouldn’t be expected or welcomed – completely the wrong mindset. The Constitution is dead and gone and the rules you whoop to follow are all rigged against you.

They’re also wondering how much worse this all has to get before the masses look up from the idiot boxes. I would say “much worse” but I just have no real idea; TeeVee is a powerful drug.

Finally, if Theresa May is still in denial, some Britons are not. This morning I received excellent ideas from the UK on what to do. “Want would Winston do?” More on that later.

Multiple, Massive Diversity Events in Londonistan

And I had so wanted to either cap the evening with a tale about the beautiful, blonde and based French woman I met at the gym this morning or one about my friend’s incredible new craft beers. No.

No. No. No. No. No. No.

ISIS. Terror. London. Dead. Wounded. War. Defeat. Death. Civilization crumbling. Again and again and again and again.

GOD DAMN IT!

(Sorry about that…). Now:

I’m not posting any links with this one – maybe the one coming this Thursday but not this one. Here’s some Drudge:

nimbus-image-1496533399535

You’d have to live under a rock on Mars not to know at least a little about what is unfolding in London tonight/this morning. And I’m not sure I can say any more or anything new that I haven’t already typed a dozen times.

A few thoughts:

1. Islam and radical Islamic terrorists are enemies of the West. Not our only enemies but perhaps the most visible; they are: here, active, deadly, and damned-near unopposed. If you can’t grasp that at this point, then you’d best get back under your rock.

2. All of our political leaders are worse than useless. All of them – May, Trump, Merkel, Macron, etc. Treason!

3. Donald Trump, this evening, admitted defeat:

nimbus-image-1496537742096

We need a leader who will ban the terrorists and then ban the judges and anyone else who gets in the way. A few more bombs in Syria, Afghanistan, and Yemen won’t help London, Paris, or New York. All my optimism has left the Trump Train. And, while we’re at it, May Day!

4. As such, there are no political solutions – yet. One hopes a second Charles Martel is out there somewhere but we haven’t seen him so far.

5. The British government armed their police even as they disarmed the public. Coincidence? No.

6. The armed police tell the unarmed masses stupid shit like this:

nimbus-image-1496537777598

Where ya going to run to? These are coordinated attacks (plural – more than one). You run from one right into another. Hide? These bastards like that. They get to play hide and seek with you. Then they get to use their deer knives with a rousing “Aloha Snackbar!” And who exactly will you tell? THEY, none of them, give a damn.

You, my dear civilized friends, are on your own. Might I suggest, instead of “Run, Hide, Tell”:

FIGHT

KILL

ANNIHILATE

It is now time to turn the tables. And the barrels. Maybe a few fuel trucks.

7. How bad is it now? London is an ultra-modern metropolis with the most state-of-the-art security apparatus on Earth. That city and all of England is already on red alert, condition critical, attacks imminent, the highest possible level of alertness. And it does nothing.

The bobbies and the rifles of the Met were already backed up by 5,000 army soldiers. Now, the SAS is deployed in the city center. For the tattoos, television, and Budweiser crowd in the U.S.: “SAS” stands for “Special Air Service.” This is the most elite special forces group in the UK. Because of the (entirely predictable) possibility of events like this, 2 squads are stationed in the capital at all times – no word as to whether they are all completely mobilized tonight.

For the shit-stupid, see-no-evil, dullards in Plato’s electronic cave, this is tantamount to Navy Seals being deployed to NYC after an attack. In other words, this is about as serious as it can get without breaking out the Polaria.

8. Candles, vigils, Farcebook flags, thoughts and prayers, etc. are useless.

9. If you dare to use this event as another excuse to excuse Islamic terrorism and berate whites, Christians, and natives as Nazis, mean-spirited, haters, Islamophobic, xenophobic, racist, and “the real problem,” then you are the problem. You, the sympathizer, are just as bad and just as guilty as the actual terrorists.

10. There are other, more institutional enablers of this Satanic garbage. They must be annihilated along with the Jihadi scum. Not bannished, not punished – annihilated.

11. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse.

12. Finally, please look at our people in the following picture: rudderless, leaderless, and clueless. They are also victims: scared, fleeing, panicked. This is beyond pitiful and reprehensible.

TELEMMGLPICT000130836691-large_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqWy_u4a9GUNQgLIY2EGV3qovR0qvPmQyEFl0PC-XDya0

Y’all run, hide, and tell…. The Telegraph.

I probably won’t be able to say more about this one due to the imminent approach of the next attack(s). Until then…

Concert Terror Attack Foiled in Germany?

Details are scarce at this point; it seems the police received some sort of tip or other evidence. A “concrete” threat shut down the concert in Huerburg. A successful evacuation, even if due to a false alarm, is better than what happened in Manchester.

A MUSIC festival in Germany has been evacuated after cops warned of a “terrorist threat”.

Organisers asked all attendees to leave the Rock am Ring festival in Nuerburg, Germany, following what they say was a security warning by police.

Koblenz police said they had received information of a “concrete threat” against the event.

In a statement, cops said they were in possession of “concrete elements, in the light of which a possible terrorist threat cannot be ruled out”.

It added: “As safety is the key priority and any danger to festivalgoers has to be avoided as much as possible, a decision has been taken to suspend the festival for today.”

A statement on the event’s official Facebook page asked revellers to remain calm and vacate the site in an orderly fashion.

The statement said: “Due to a terrorist threat the police have advised us to interrupt the festival.

“We ask all festival visitors to leave the festival site in a calm and controlled manner towards the exits and camping grounds.

“We have to support the police investigations.

Of course, it would be best if Germany was still for Germans, eh Herr Merkel? The “skinheads” in your army are not behind this; you know who is – likely to the man (or Imam).

nintchdbpict000328667279

Show’s over – for the concert and possibly for Deutschland, The Sun / EPA.

Frau Merkel, das ist es, was du bekommst, damit Millionen von wütenden, heftigen Primitiven in dein Land eindringen kannst. Bitte resigniere dich, du hag.

Likely ISIS Truck Bomb in Afghanistan

A tanker or other large truck hit embassy row in Kabul today. 90 are know dead and more than 400 injured.

A suspected Islamic State (Isil) truck bomb tore through the diplomatic quarter of Kabul on Wednesday, killing at least 90 people including a BBC driver and badly damaging the German embassy.

If confirmed that Isil was behind the bombing, it would mark a significant escalation of the jihadists’ violence in Afghanistan and the latest in a string of deadly attacks at the beginning of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

The massive explosive was hidden inside a sewage tank on the back of a truck and went off during the morning rush hour, wounding around 400 people and leaving a large crater. The attack was one of the deadliest in Kabul since the US-led invasion in 2001.

Sixteen years of entanglement and this is what still happens – in the most secured part of the country.

I’m thinking a little closer to home. Not about the U.S. minding its own business but wondering when the car/truck bomb fad will hit America.

The Humanity of It All

Two stories of late, slightly related:

First, a federal judge overturned Lee Boyd Malvo’s life sentences without parole. Malvo was one of the “D.C. Snipers” who reigned terror around the nation’s capital back in 2002. I remember this episode, one because it was in close proximity to 9/11 and, two because it figured slightly (perhaps notoriously) into my original white paper on Posse Comitatus (it certainly got John Anderson’s attention).

A federal judge threw out a convicted D.C. sniper’s four life sentences Friday because he was 17 when he was originally sentenced.

U.S. District Judge Raymond Jackson in Norfolk, Virginia, ruled that Lee Boyd Malvo has a right to be re-sentenced in new sentencing hearings due to a 2012 Supreme Court ruling that made it unconstitutional for juveniles to receive mandatory life sentences in prison without parole, the Daily Mail reported.

He will likely be sentenced to life again – with the possibility of parole (which probably won’t ever happen). Malvo was the co-defendant with and likely catamite of John Allen Muhammad; both were Muslims with a bone to shoot with white, Christian America. The “better-than-that” mercy of the American justice [SIC] system.

Lee-Boyd-Malvo-ap-640x480

If Obama liked rifles…. Breitbart News.

Second, no such mercy was shown to the 28 Coptic Christians gunned down recently on a bus in Egypt. By some sort of odd coincidence the shooters in this case were also Muslims.

As many as 10 attackers in 3 SUVs stormed the bus dressed in military uniforms and wearing masks, before demanding that the passengers recite the Muslim profession of faith, according to witnesses. Then, the gunmen opened fire. Some 22 people were wounded.

Only three children survived the attack, the Copts United news portal reported. The victims were on their way to visit a monastery to pray.

Survivors claimed the killers left behind flyers about the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, which begins Friday evening.

The religion of peace, leaving orphans to read pamphlets.

This is a war. It’s a war of annihilation directed at all the West. Little has changed in 15 years. When will come the awakening?

 

A Case of Blowback? Or was it Bomb-back?

Where to start? Where to start? How about Williamsburg, VA? I was in a shop in that fine town on December 21, 1988, when news broke of the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. (Scotland is in the UK). Those of you who were alive 29 years ago – Lord, time flies – may recall the event. A 747 destroyed and 259 people killed; terrible.

A Libyan gentleman, name of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, was indicted by U.S. and Scottish authorities. After many years of hiding in Libya (his home), he was extradited to the Netherlands to stand trial on the Scottish charges. He was convicted and imprisoned in Scotland.

In 2009, following a bout with cancer, he was “compassionately” released back to Libya, where he received a hero’s welcome. Murder 259 people and you get compassion and you’re a hero – what a world…

My point with all of that is that the UK has a long, twisted relationship with Libya.

In 2011, you may also recall, England lent a heavy hand during the Libyan Civil War. In 2011 or 2012 the UK and its bankster criminal class looted the sovereign wealth of the Libyan people, some $200 Billion or so. There was more interference and looting than one could shake a blog at but that was the big-ticket item. The money is still safely held “for the Libyans” … in London.

This, by the way, was the incident that set off the legal wrangling with the Goldman Sachs.  That’s the same bank Hilary worked for and from which Trump hires for damned near every position in his administration. It’s spelled: c-o-r-r-u-p-t.

Anyway, the British bankers stole a mint. The American bankers won a paltry judgement. Col. Gaddafi was deposed and shot dead in the street. Thousands more were killed, maimed, or left homeless and destitute. Libya is ruined. And terrorists now run amok in the formerly half-way decent Arab country. Many of them travel back and forth between Tripoli and England. They have done that for decades, actually.

And now I get to it…

One lovely little family of Libya terrorists settled in Manchester (England, not New Hampshire). Momma and Pappa Jihad had some boys. One of the sons detonated a nail bomb at the Ariana Grande concert the other night. Salman Abedi was a son of a bitch. And his father and brothers and probably the rest of his family and most of his friends were evil bastards too.

ht-sun-cover-hb052317_4x3_992

Worse than evil: Satanic evil, all the worse for being blindly tolerated. The Sun.

Pappa Jihad Abedi, just today, was arrested back in Libya on terrorism charges. He has links to ISIS and Al Qaeda. Imagine that.

Manchester bomber Salman Abedi apparently wasn’t the only member of his family to harbor extremist views, as Libyan officials arrested the suicide bomber’s father and two brothers and uncovered what investigators called a plot for a new attack.

In this Wednesday, May 24, 2017 photo, Hashim Ramadan Abedi appears inside the Tripoli-based Special Deterrent anti-terrorism force unit after his arrest on Tuesday for alleged links to the Islamic State extremist group. Abedi is the brother of Salman Abedi, who has been identified as the man behind the bombing that killed 22 people and wounded scores at an Ariana Grande concert Monday night in Manchester. The Special Deterrent Force says that Hashim confessed both he and his brother were a part of the Islamic State group and that Hashim had been aware of the details of the attack. (Ahmed Bin Salman, Special Deterrent Force via AP)Expand / Collapse

Hashim Abedi, who was born in 1997, was arrested in Tripoli on Wednesday evening by the Libyan counter-terrorism force Rada on suspicion of links to the Islamic State, and was planning a new attack on the Libyan capital, a government spokesman told Reuters on Wednesday.

The father of the bomber was arrested in Tripoli on Wednesday, a Libyan security spokesman told The Associated Press. The father, Ramadan Abedi, had said another brother of the bomber, Ismail, was arrested Tuesday.

What’s more, two U.S. defense officials confirmed to Fox News that Salman Abedi spent three weeks in Libya prior to the Manchester bombing, returning to England just days before the Ariana Grande concert Monday, when he launched his attack at the concert venue.

Salman’s mother, Samia Tabbal, is believed to have returned to Libya, while the Facebook profile for his sister, Jomana, suggests that she still lives in Manchester. The mother was described in an article by The Guardian as a “very nice woman” who taught a friend’s daughter to read the Quran.

Lovely. Momma Jihad tutored from verse 3:151 (“Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers…”) while the menfolk read up on proper TATP concoctions. ISIS promotes literacy; I love it.

My theory is a little loose but it seems like cause and effect here. Pick up a serpent and hold it next to your breast. Don’t be surprised when it bites you.

Today the people of Manchester mourn. Some have jumped to the defense … of the terrorists. If you don’t like terrorism, then you’re a “hater” and a Nazi. Sieg Heil. Others plan a candlelight vigil for the deceased, a show of solidarity (to include solidarity with the other [many] terrorists in their midst). ISIS, for their part, vowed to try to get a truck rental scheduled for the same day and time. This stuff almost writes itself.

The terror alert is at code red or code black or whatever correlates with “critical” and “imminent”. Soldiers, thousands of them, are armed and on the streets. Their first mission is to safeguard the Queen, Theresa May, and Parliament. Any platoons left available are helping the police in a frantic effort to not offend the “just-like-us” terrorist Muslims while at the same time attempting to retain some semblance of first world order.

Just another day in the multi-culti paradise. The Telegraph.

If the Brits want my advice – and, aside from Jon, Clive, and three others, it seems they do not – they would do two things.

First, stop picking up asps and vipers! Leave these damned crazy people alone. Leave them alone in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Pakistan, or wherever they are. They obviously enjoy a little turmoil. So let them have it. Leave them alone.

Second, get their remnants out of the UK! Use those soldiers to round them up. Interrupt the Quranic chemistry lessons if you have to. Those who vacation at ISIS bomb factories should simply be barred from ever returning. Throw them all out!

Otherwise, prepare for more bombings, more car and truck attacks, more stabbings, and more blood in Mr. Powell’s river.

In a Western country not the UK? Then just apply this same general scenario and solutions to your nation. Do so quickly.

And it was so odd. It was a gift shop and I was looking at those little metal model jet liners, including a 747, when I heard the news about the real one in Scotland. I think it snowed a little that day.

Another Terrorist Attack in Another Western City

Again and again and again. Seems like we’re averaging two a week now. More are on the way. It’s like someone is trying to tell us something.

Please take any one of my previous terrorism articles and update with “Manchester” and “May 22, 2017.”  I truly tire of these attacks and the utter lack of intelligent reaction, even acknowledgement, from the people of the West. And where is any meaningful response from our “leaders?”

This particular attack targeted young people and children at a Manchester concert. Right now, this morning, the tally stands at 22 dead and five dozen wounded. Many, including small children, are missing.

nintchdbpict000325974619

The Sun.

Dropping more bombs in Syria won’t help. That might kill terrorists in that country. It does nothing to stop the jihadis in Manchester, London, Berlin, New York, Paris, Brussels, Minneapolis, or your city.

A few approximate numbers just for the UK: this stuff just happens to work in orders of magnitude:

400+ combat veteran ISIS fighters;

4,000 known terrorists;

40,000 suspected or likely terrorists;

400,000 likely terrorist sympathizers;

4,000,000 Taqiya cover-up agents, liars, and deniers;

40,000,000 people either asleep, drugged, or otherwise completely oblivious.

Again, I’m not sure what I can say, here and today, that I haven’t said ten or fifty times before. I’ll probably be saying it all again soon.

Just how much worse does this have to get?

 

 

A Case for James Bond

Hackers are demanding money to unlock computers in multiple countries following a massive ransom-wear attack. England is particularly hard hit.

LONDON — Hackers exploiting data stolen from the United States government conducted extensive cyberattacks on Friday that hit dozens of countries around the world, severely disrupting Britain’s public health system and wreaking havoc on tens of thousands of computers elsewhere.

Hospitals in Britain appeared to be the most severely affected by the attacks, which aimed to blackmail computer users by seizing their data. The attacks blocked doctors’ access to patient files and forced emergency rooms to divert people seeking urgent care.

Corporate computer systems in many other countries — including FedEx of the United States, one of the world’s leading international shippers — were among those affected.

The kicker is that the malicious software used was developed by the NSA in America – to protect us and such. Just as similar hacking tools from the CIA were recently made public, so the NSA has a hard time keeping track of its cyber weapons. Way to go, government.

In this case, people’s lives are at stake. It sounds like no British NHS patients died but they could have. They were certainly inconvenienced. This is more than a breach of privacy. This is an act of terrorism or of war. It should be treated as such. Perhaps one government can clean up the mess caused by another.

Tracking down the hackers will be very difficult. Still, I imagine it could be done. And it should be. Theresa May should turn MI6 loose with orders to hunt down and eradicate the vermin – in Africa, Russia, Mexico – wherever they’re hiding.

And maybe the Military-Security Complex can do a better job of managing its monsters. That, or just not have them.
