New Years Eve cancelations - a sign that the global intifada is here
There’s only one way to react to the news that Paris, Germany, Australia, Belgrade, Serbia, Tokyo and Hong Kong have all canceled their outdoor New Year’s Eve celebrations. And that would be to acknowledge that the global intifada is here.
If you’re asking why many major world cities have come to this bleak decision, it is as a result of serious security concerns over the fear that they can no longer guarantee the safety of their citizens at a moment in time when surprise terror attacks are rampant in so many places.
In the case of Paris, police cited worries over “unpredictable crowd movements” at the iconic site of the Champs-Elysées, where the festivities are generally held. But given that they still intend to display their annual fireworks show at the Arc de Triomphe, it’s not clear how they expect to keep the public away.
Belgrade’s mayor has not only canceled the New Year celebrations of midnight on the 31st of December but also celebrations for the Serbian New Year, traditionally observed from January 13-14, again, over security concerns.
Hong Kong has decided to change the venue of their celebration without providing for a specific reason, while a particular district of Tokyo, which apparently intended to hold an event this year, has also nixed it, citing potential crowd problems.
If you’re a dot connector, this one might not be too difficult to figure out. An unsuspecting world has opened the doors of their countries to individuals who are not exactly lovers of mankind.
Skipping the crucial step of checking to see who they’re allowing in, they took it for granted that the many newcomers would not include those who view public gatherings as a great opportunity to plan a terror attack, resulting in massive casualties.
In short, ringing in the New Year will not be the worldwide annual event it’s always been, because no one wants to see the year start off with a “big bang” of the tragic type. Sadly, this is the reality of the ushering in of 2026 – a wake-up call to humanity, with a cancelation of life as we’ve known it.
Those carefree days, where gathering together to watch a ball drop, as the New Year approaches, may now be a fond but distant memory. Sadly, it will also affect other annual events, such as Christmas markets, fairs, Independence Day commemorations and even sports events, where thousands of people have always gathered. Because, unlike other years, they may not return home, the same day, in one piece.
The recent tragedy which occurred at Sydney’s Bondi Beach has left everyone with the frightening reality that catastrophe can strike at any moment, as extreme, radicalized Muslims believe that they are doing God’s holy work by killing Jews and infidels (a/k/a Christians and most anyone who is not an adherent of Islam).
They have continued the work of their 7th century prophet, Muhammad who fought one battle after another in the Arabian Peninsula, not even hesitating to wipe out his own tribe in Mecca. Dedicating his life to Islamic expansion and the setting up of caliphates (governments under the leadership of an Islamic cleric), today’s modern-day terrorists are promoting those same objectives.
This means that nothing and no one, not even other non-radicalized Muslims, will be a deterrent in their goal to wreak terror in the hearts of people who are simply out for an enjoyable evening with friends and family. After all, if their own people are the unintended casualties of a mass attack, it was all worth it just for the sake of murdering infidels.
That enormous miscalculation and lack of understanding was responsible for the welcoming of migrants into Western societies who actually boasted about their high level of morality, generosity and empathy for those less fortunate.
As their actions were seen to be the humane and decent thing to do, other countries followed suit, allowing uncivilized, subhuman types to be absorbed into societies that valued the sanctity of life, the advantages of democracy, freedom of choice and personal liberties.
Thinking that those ideals would rub off on them, Western governments provided every imaginable advantage to make sure that migrants could enjoy the same privileges as everyone else. It could have been a dream come true!
But few understood the lethality of the violent ideology which had become a part of their DNA from early childhood, preventing them from ever looking at the simple joys of life as blessings to be cherished.
So, it became a waiting game. Knowing that given enough time for a convergence of Islamic empowerment, through seizing local governing positions, as the deterioration of Western society occurred, they would finally be able to begin their takeover.
And now they have. The very fact that authorities are suddenly fearful and wary of allowing mass gatherings to take place, is a sure sign of our times. We are all at the mercy of these monsters whose perverted religion has sanctioned them to take out precious lives.
Brainwashed to believe that their deity demands the blood of innocents, they view this charge as a worthwhile duty, which will earn them the greatest rewards in the next life. Won’t they be in shock when they discover that the tormenting fires of hell, instead, awaits them.
But, it will be too late to make amends for those unconscionable acts which they committed with absolutely no pangs of conscience, personal anguish or self-reproach.
In truth, it is incumbent upon world leaders who made the colossal mistake of thinking that darkness could share the same space with light, to do some soul-searching. Their feeble attempt to properly vet these people who were let in en masse and sent to live with respectable citizens, who welcomed them, was a great disservice done to their constituents.
Now, each one of these countries are paying the steep price of knowing that they are literally living with ticking time bombs that could go off at any moment. No one is guaranteed returning home safely to the arms of their loving families, because there are terrorists among us who hope that we don’t.
The global intifada has begun, and no one is immune, because its goal is to harness as much death as possible, with no one being off-limits!
