Tyler Durden's picture




 

Update: ISIS has now claimed responsibility for the attack.

Five months (nearly to the day) after a gunman stormed the popular resort of Port El Kantaoui, north of Sousse in Tunisia killing 38 people including 30 British citizens with a Kalashnikov, multiple sources are reporting that an explosion in the capital has hit a bus carrying presidential guards. 

Six people were killed and “many” are injured, an interior ministry official told Al Arabiya. who adds that “the explosion took place at the intersection of the two main streets of the Tunisian capital.” 

From local media:

Translated: "...a terrorist attack has caused a number of deaths on the Mohamed V Avenue in Tunis"

Reuters, meanwhile, says "at least 11 people have been killed" accordig to a source in the president's office while other sources put the death toll at 15.

If they had any balls they would go after 1600 Penn Ave. Otherwise, just a bunch of cowards going after weak targets, defininitely JV.

"Destablization" and "terror." In little pockets at first, and everywhere soon thereafter. Don't know if it's just me, but I feel "the big kahuna" coming soon enough.

Meanwhile the banks sneak away into the sunset saying "teehee - got 'em again."

The future looks to be a real shitty place. Go have a beer, amigos, and enjoy whatever remaining peace around you.

I'd love to be a reporter at one of these 'pressers'. Stand up and ask, "If these terrorists are so powerful, how are you still here?"

Yes the genetic damage is well known but-----it also might have something to do with the prophet Mohammad ordering the beheading of the just captured 900 men and boys of the Jewish tribe living in Medina. Lined them up by a ditch and beheaded them one by one. Then Mohammad took women of the just executed men as slaves and raped them that very night. Substantiated by Islamic scholars, none will disagree.

Sounds exactly like ISIL, don't it?

 

Wonder how the "moderate" Muslims square with their prophets murder, rape, pillage and tyranny? All substantiated by Islamic scholars? Don't hear much------'cept crickets.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but their is no more genetic inbreeding in Islam than there is in Christianity. It only occurs in groups with enforced matriachal or patriarchal chains of descent. For example some Jews believe that Jews are only truly Jewish if the person's mother was Jewish - a direct genetic link. The inbreeding is manifested by increased incidence of certain diseases such as Tay-Sachs in Ashkenazi Jews. Similar genetic problems would occur in groups with enforced patriarchal membership.

Hey no worries man, Obirdbrain led progressive assclowns will vet all the illegal aliens and Muslim terrorist refugees 100% as criminal. And double down on the breaking of existing immigration laws to let more in!

It's like  a big F-YOU American citizens, I, the progressive superhero OBirdbrain favor foreign criminals over scumbag law abiding regular American citizens like you.

So you think that shit over there is something, just wait, progressives of the Obirdbrain regime are working hard to bring it here! Yes actually working hard so American citizens die at the hands of illegally imported foreigners.

Oh and these same progressives want to take away all firearms from lawful citizens, "if it could save only one life"!!!!!!Ha Ha!

I don't know about you but between importing violent criminals and taking away the ability for defense it kinda looks like the progressive criminals usurping the US FEDGOV are willfully and intentionally conspiring to murder Americans. Unfortunately they have and will continue to succeed.

Just in the last week alone. There have been terrorist attacks in Caucasus, Yemen, China, Beruit, Paris, Tunisia, Nigeria, Syria and Bagdad. Egypt plane last week and a lockdown in Belgium

Sure glad that piece of shit in the Whitehouse has this contained.

Leaders of all Nations are going to have to pick a side. Either you support terrorist or you fight it.

It appears so:

ISTANBUL -- Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Turkey on Tuesday of directly supporting the so-called Islamic State after Turkish forces shot down one of Russia's fighter jets near Syria's border.

"Our military men are fighting terrorism, sacrificing their own lives, but today’s loss is  a stab in the back by the accomplices of terrorism," Putin said of Turkey, alleging that Ankara directly finances terrorism through illicit oil sales.

Guess we still can't say it's a Muslim problem. 

Meanwhile Americans have a world wide travel advisor to avoid all public places. But we can't profile muslims. My government just told us we are not safe anywhere.

Your government created this and all our taxes paid for it. And to top it off you're fucking arrogant about it. You sit here and bitch all day and all night about how your government fucks you, but it's not 1/100th of how much it fucks other people. It's Shock and Awe come home to roost. You understand, you stupid motherfucker?

The Magic Negro and his bosses need to stop funding, arming and training stateless terrorists. Plausible deniability is for pussies and cowards. Your pets attacking and killing innocent people can only boomerang on your own (not that you care, we're all expendable). 

Grow a pair of balls, interrupt the football games, and announce to the sheeple the Empire is on the march. Stop pretending the Constitution and buzzword slogans like "freedom" and "democracy" mean anything.
