One Killed, Three Stabbed At German Train Station By Knife-Wielding Assailant Screaming “Allahu Akbar”
I heard about this attack on my local MSM radio station this morning. It’s funny. They didn’t mention anything about the killer being Muslim and yelling Allahu Akbar. I guess that would damage the MSM storyline of loving Muslims integrating into German society. The MSM is nothing but a fucking joke at this point.

One man was killed, and three were stabbed A German national stabbed three passengers at a train station near Munich early on Tuesday, after a 27 year old knife-wielding assailant reportedly shouting “Allahu Akbar” attacked people at Grafing train station 32 km southeast of Munich at about 5 a.m. local time.
The attack might have an Islamist motive, officials said. “The perpetrator made remarks during the attack which point to there being a political motive,” Bavarian police said in a statement, adding he had been arrested and there were no further suspects. Apart from “Allahu Akbar” the man was heard shouting “unbelievers,” Das Bild newspaper reported, citing local witnesses.
The prosecutor has confirmed the death of a 50-year-old man. He added that “two people are badly wounded, one is in critical condition.” The three injured are aged 58, 43 and 55. The “assailant made remarks at the scene of the crime that indicate a political motive – apparently an Islamist one,” Ken Heidenreich, spokesman for the prosecutor’s office, told AFP. “We are still determining what the exact remarks were.”
The Myth of the ‘War on Cops’
The storyline about cops under fire is complete and utter bullshit spewed by the statist press and those who want to further take away you liberties and freedoms. It’s the people who are under fire by the government and their police state thugs who bully, abuse, and shakedown the citizens. The storyline is obliterated below.

If there really is a war on cops, whoever’s fighting it seems to be losing.
With the “war on cops” narrative on the rise again, you might be wondering: When it comes to lethal violence against police officers, how does 2015 stack up against other years? Mark Perry of the American Enterprise Institute took a look at the annual number of cops who died of non-accidental gunshots, as measured by the Officer Down Memorial Page. This year isn’t over yet, obviously, but if the trend thus far continues, 2015’s rate will be higher than 2013’s. It will also be lower than every other year since 1870:

DECEMBER RETAIL SALES – UNEQUIVOCAL DISASTER
In case you hadn’t noticed, the MSM storyline was obliterated this morning with the December retail sales report. There is absolutely no way for the shysters and charlatans in the media, Wall Street or government to spin this data in a positive manner. The shit is hitting the fan. A recession for the average American is confirmed. Plunging gas prices haven’t done shit to motivate people to spend money they don’t have.
And guess what you won’t hear from CNBC or any of the corporate media?
POLAR VORTEX
You see, that was the storyline last year to explain the terrible December and January retail sales. So let me get this straight. Last December the country was buried under snow in sub-zero temperatures versus a tranquil, calm, non-snowy December this year. Not a peep from The MSM about last December’s Polar vortex
Shouldn’t this great weather, “fabulous” plunge in the unemployment rate, and billions of dollars put back into pockets by collapsing gas prices, have spurred an awesome retail sales surge this year? The Wall Street shysters drove the stock market to record highs in December based on this false storyline. The decline in real wages in November revealed the falsehood of the jobs recovery. Any savings from lower gas prices is being used to pay down credit card debt and pay for the dramatically higher healthcare costs caused by Obamacare.
This economy is in the tank and headed lower. The GDP numbers are a sham. The employment numbers are a sham. You know it. I know it. And now the sheep are waking up and realize they have been lied to. Stock market records are meaningless to people trying to get by on a daily basis.
After perusing the data on the Census Bureau website, here are my observations:
- Year over year retail sales only rose 3.2% in December. That is before inflation, which the BLS says was 1.7% and I say is above 4%. Either way, real sales sucked. Then take into consideration there were 3 million less employed people and a polar vortex last December.
- The MSM said consumers had a windfall from the $6.5 billion decrease in gasoline sales. We were all supposed to buy a new HDTV or iGadget with our newly found riches. Oops. Electronics and appliance sales FELL in December versus November.
- Retail sales simply don’t fall in December versus November unless you are in recession or headed into recession.
- It seems even the subprime auto loan scheme is petering out. Auto sales (7 year rentals) declined in December. Maybe the fact that auto loan debt delinquencies are approaching 2008 levels is giving them pause in selling autos to people without the means or inclination to make the payments.
- Anyone looking for a JC Penney, Sears, Macy’s led department store revival is sad. Clothing store sales dropped. Department store sales dropped. Sporting goods store sales dropped.
- And drum roll please. On-line store sales DROPPED. The Amazon revolution is dead.
It seems the markets don’t like it. The pain has just begun. A global recession is underway. It’s a deflationary unwinding of debt and mal-investment. There is no cure except for collapse. Central bankers have shot their load. Their credibility is shot. No one believes more debt will cure a debt problem – except for a few Ivy League educated economists. A shitstorm is a brewing. Get ready.
