The FBI and Department of Homeland Security have issued an advisory bulletin warning of possible Islamic Terror attacks against Churches and Christmas events. Simultaneous to this warning, Arizona federal officials arrest a Phoenix man who was plotting a Jihadist attack in support of ISIS.

Heavily armed police now guard the Nativity in Europe

First the warning:

WASHINGTON – Federal authorities warned Friday that ISIS sympathizers “continue aspirational calls for attacks on holiday gatherings, including targeting churches.” The bulletin was issued by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security and issued to law enforcement agencies and private security companies around the US.

During the height of the 2016 presidential election a church in Mississippi was burned and the wording “Vote Trump” was painted on the outside of the building.

“The animus of this election cycle combined with the potent racial history of burning black churches as a political symbol makes this event something we must not ignore”.

The media sold the narrative of ‘Trump supporter hate’ as the origin of the crime.  Today, it is revealed the arson was a politically motivated manufactured hate crime.

MISSISSIPPI – An arrest has been made in the Greenville church burning.
Andrew McClinton, 45, of Leland, was arrested Wednesday for setting Hopewell Baptist Church on fire and scrawling “Vote Trump” on the side in spray paint, according to Warren Strain with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation. McClinton has been charged with one count of first degree arson of a place of worship, Strain said.

Do the math within the timeline provided in this story and you will find the substance for the headline. Since the 2009 Obama speech in Cairo we have discussed the consequences against the backdrop of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria and the larger mid-east.
Within the accompanying research and discussion – years ago Zurich Mike coined the phrase: “Obama killed the Mid-East Zookeepers, unlocked the big cat cages,  and just walked away”…

The coded messaging within the June 2009 speech in Cairo was a message to the Middle East that America would no longer protect the various dictators, and it was safe to attack them.  The Obama administration would accept their replacements, regardless of how they assumed power. The message (speech here) was transparently obvious to those who understood the ramifications.

Well….
(Via Daily Mail) The Tunisian terror suspect wanted in connection with the Berlin Christmas market atrocity spent four years in an Italian jail before moving to Germany, his father revealed today.

Sad update.  The death toll has now climbed to 12 in the Berlin terrorist attack.  It is also being reported the Jihadist was an Afghan “refugee” who arrived in February during one of the numerous waves of refugees accepted by Angela Merkel.

(Via Daily Mail) – A refugee is thought to have been behind the wheel of a 25-tonne articulated lorry which mowed down and killed 12 people – and injured 48 others – as it sped at 40mph through a busy Christmas market in Berlin.
The vehicle laden with steel cargo mounted the pavement at 7pm, before tearing through stalls and shoppers on Breitscheidplatz Square, outside the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in the German capital’s main shopping area.

Reading from partly prepared remarks, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin spoke briefly to state media in advance of a meeting with key officials of the Russian government.
Worth noting is how, within the remarks, President Putin verbally places Turkey between Russia and Iran regarding the Syrian conflict.  Structurally, this is not accidental.

(TRANSCRIPT) “News came today from Turkey where the ambassador of Russia was cowardly killed, Karlov Andrea Genadievich.
First of all I would like to give my sincere condolences to the family and friends of our fallen comrade. I request the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to award him posthumous and offer proposals for making a memorial.  He died on duty. (more…)

This is the second terrorist attack within hours following the recapturing of Aleppo Syria from the control of ISIS and Islamic extremists.
Initial reports from Berlin Germany state at least nine people killed and more than 50 injured after a semi-truck ploughed into a crowd of shoppers at a busy Christmas market. According to European Media German police at the scene indicate the incident is “likely to be a terrorist attack”.
The truck is reported to have originated in Poland.  The attack is similar to the earlier terrorist attack in Niece France.  The jihadist drove into the large crowd at approximately 8pm local time (2pm New York).

(Via Daily Mail) […]  The vehicle sped through a crowd of shoppers at the Christmas market on Breitscheidplatz Square near the Kurfuerstendamm Avenue in west Berlin.

A rather bizarre interview between Fox News Tucker Carlson and a seemingly unstable Senior Editor for Newsweek Kurt Eichenwald.

At the conclusion of the interview Eichenwald went on a sketchy twitter rant defending his preposterous claims.  And then things got even more weird. –SEE HERE–

The date on the calendar might say December 2016, but the activity by the U.S. State Department, and the propaganda broadcast on CNN, is identical to February 2011.
The current propaganda geography is Aleppo Syria.  Consider this:
Because all 7-year-olds in Aleppo Syria have verified twitter accounts useful for broadcasting on CNN right?   Think about it.
In February 2011 the State Department tenet called “Responsibility to Protect”, or R2P was formed.  Specifically, Susan Rice, Samantha Power and Hillary Clinton were the salespeople.  (more…)

The jury in the case against Officer Michael Slager is deadlocked. No decision was able to be reached. The judge has provided an Allen Charge giving the jury a final instruction to go back and deliberate, try again. A “mistrial” is entirely possible.

Many of us anticipated this outcome because prosecutor Wilson overreached with the initial charge of murder. However, on the day the jury was given the case the prosecution knew/accepted they were not going to get a murder conviction, and convinced Judge Newman to provide a secondary option of voluntary manslaughter.

The judge instructed the jury that they can acquit Slager, convict him of murder or convict him of voluntary manslaughter. A murder conviction carries a sentence of 30 years to life. (link)

If you have not followed the CTH research on this case you might be surprised with this outcome.  The MSM presentation is completely false.  However, long-time CTH readers and contributors will not be shocked.  You can find all prior CTH research HERE

THIS IS CNN.  During a conversation about yesterday’s OSU terrorist attack carried out by a Somali refugee using a machete to attack students, CNN suggests that American women wear hijabs to show their solidarity with Somali Muslim terrorists.
