PFLP activist Ibrahim Ibrahim has mobilized Muslims in Berlin and thus ensured the electoral victory of the Left. Now the Palestinian terror supporter is already insisting on "further cooperation" and demanding concessions. PFLP stands for Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. This is a Palestinian organization founded in 1967 (Marxist-Leninist, Pan-Arab), which belongs to the left wing of the Palestinian movement. It is considered a terrorist organization in the EU, the USA, and other countries. It became known, among other things, for hijackings in the 1960s and 70s (e.g., Landshut 1977) and further attacks.

“Between 1979 and April 2024, we recorded 66,872 Islamist attacks worldwide. These attacks caused the deaths of at least 249,941 people. • 1979-2000: 2,194 attacks and 6,817 deaths. • 2001-2012: 8,265 attacks and 38,187 deaths. • 2013-April 2024: 56,413 attacks” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “The military is the main target (34%) of Islamist terrorists, ahead of civilians (27.7%) and police forces (15.3%). • 1979-2000: military (343 attacks, 15.6%), civilians (530 attacks, 24.1%), police forces (408 attacks, 18.6%). • 2001-2012: military (1,410 attacks, 17.1%), civilians (2,506 attacks, 30.3%), police forces (1,424, 17.2%). • 2013-April 2024 : military (20,556) - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “Most (86.3%) of Islamist terrorist attacks have occurred in Muslim countries1. Similarly, the vast majority of deaths from Islamist terrorist attacks (88.9%) occurred in Muslim countries” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “Number of Islamist terrorist attacks in Muslim countries: 57,726 attacks (86.3% of Islamist terrorist attacks worldwide). Number of deaths caused by Islamist terrorist attacks in Muslim countries: 222,236 deaths (88.9% of deaths caused by Islamist terrorist attacks worldwide)” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “In this study, we define “terrorism” as political acts that meet the principle and criteria of the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START). In this context, a terrorist act is presented as “the threat of the effective use or use of unlawful force and violence by a non-state actor in order to achieve political, economic, religious or social objectives, through fear, coercion or intimidation”8. This definition is extended to the enumeration of a set of characteristics specifying the nature of the terrorist act: – it must be intentional and result from a conscious calculation by the perpetrator; – it must include some level of violence or threat of imminent violence, whether physical or material; – the perpetrators of the incident must be non-state actors” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “To complete without unduly complicating matters, one can refer in particular to the definition proposed by Edward Walker, because of its relative clarity and conciseness: “By ‘Islamism’, I mean the normative political ideology that has as its core program the establishment of Islam as a state religion and the implementation of Islamic law (shari’a). Militant Islamism, then, is any form of Islamism that advocates the use of violence to achieve Islamist objectives. This same distinction is made by Islamists themselves, who refer to ‘Parties of the Islamic Call’, or al-da’wa al Islamiyya (i.e., Islamist groups that do not advocate violence) on the one hand, and ‘Parties of the Muslim Revolution’, or al-thawra al-Islamiyya (i.e., Islamist groups that do advocate violence) on the other hand14. Acknowledging that there are no universally accepted definitions of Islamism and terrorism, some researchers characterise it as an ideology whose key tenets include: – Belief that Islam is not only a religion, but also a holistic sociopolitical system; – Advocacy of shari’a (Islamic) law as divine state law; – Belief that a transnational Muslim community, known as the Ummah, should unite as a political bloc; – Advocacy of an ‘Islamic’ state, or Caliphate, within which sovereignty belongs to God” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “We have recorded 66,872 Islamist terrorist attacks that killed at least 249,941 people between 1979 and April 2024. Number of attacks: 66,872 Number of wounded: 192,598 Number of deaths: 249,941” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “The possible estimate” should be between 300,000 and 400,000 deaths considering the victims of Islamist terrorism in Algeria, according to the hypotheses based on the best-known sources and the most reliable studies” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024

Loredana Bertè and Adriano Panatta strolling in 1976: when the style of the '70s meets one of the most iconic and captivating love stories of all time! (translated)

A comment made by journalist Maria Cristina Fernandes has sparked debate on social media. In a Globonews program, the journalist spoke about the existence of a movement of evangelicals pressuring for a bill (PL) to remove the title of Patroness of Brazil from Our Lady of Aparecida, pointing out the possible political impact of the action. Pressured by Bolsonaro supporters, the broadcaster backed down and apologized for the statement, but the bill mentioned by Maria Cristina did indeed exist. Presented in 2007 and archived in 2008, the bill demanding the revocation of the title of Patroness of Brazil was introduced by deputy and pastor Victório Galli, who was appointed special advisor to the presidency by Jair Bolsonaro. For decades, the figure of Our Lady of Aparecida has suffered attacks in Brazil. One of the most well-known episodes of this phenomenon was the attack on the image of Our Lady of Aparecida, which occurred in 1978. An iconoclastic evangelical invaded the Basilica of Aparecida, removed the image of Our Lady from the niche, and hurled it to the ground, shattering it into more than 200 pieces. The restoration of the piece was done by the Museum of Art of São Paulo (MASP). The attack on Aparecida and the evangelical right's crusade against the Patroness of Brazil are the themes of our article today for @operamundi.

Václav Havel was arrested on January 14 and released on May 20, 1977. In those four months, something perhaps fundamentally significant happens in his life: a meeting with power and the feeling that he will achieve something through dialogue with it, that he will score some points. He scores nothing, even writing a well-known letter to the prosecutor and renouncing the role of spokesman for Charter 77, which causes him a terrible crisis, guilty feelings, and even thoughts of suicide.

WARNING!!! A lie!!! The announcement of the District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw about the dismissal of proceedings against Lech Wałęsa on September 24, 2026, will be the subject of more than one analysis in the future. I want to draw attention only to its final fragment, which illustrates the scale of manipulation, foul play, or plain ignorance of the prosecutor's office. At the end of the announcement, we read that: "The only witness who directly testified that Lech Wałęsa was TW 'Bolek' was the late Edward Graczyk. He made such a statement only during his last interrogation. However, the prosecutor deemed it completely unreliable, not only in light of his previous contradictory statements but also considering the opinion of the psychologist who participated in his last interrogation and noted his tendency to confabulate due to organic dementia disorders. Above all, however, the prosecutor reached such a conclusion in light of a note prepared by Edward Graczyk on February 16, 1971, which was revealed in the case files of the Provincial Office of Internal Affairs in Gdańsk with the codename "Autumn 70," from which it followed that Lech Wałęsa did not begin cooperation as a secret collaborator, which is why further control of his activities was proposed." The first lie is that Graczyk was the "only witness" who testified in the investigation that Wałęsa was "Bolek." This is a glaring untruth. I have repeatedly quoted the records of the investigation of the Białystok branch of the prosecutor's office of the IPN and even published fragments of the interrogations of SB officers who directly identified Wałęsa as "Bolek" in my book "Wałęsa. The Man with the File" back in 2013 (13 years ago!!!). It is enough to quote the testimony of Maj. Jerzy Frączkowski from June 2, 2009 (case file no. S 49/08/Zk, pages 718-719): "As part of my official duties, I dealt with the file of TW 'Bolek'. The materials indicated that this was Lech Wałęsa. It was a personal file. I remember that this file was sent to Warsaw probably in 1988. I dealt with this file in previous years. We became familiar with this file as Wałęsa rose to positions of power in labor unions. This must have been around 1980. At that time, I worked with Zenon Ratkiewicz, who handled TW 'Bolek'. This file definitely contained a note from the recruitment interview, there were obligations of the TW, and there were handwritten receipts for the receipt of money." In the same investigation referenced by prosecutor Żurek, Capt. Romuald Chlaszczak added (file no. S 49/08/Zk, statement from June 2, 2009, page 721): "In the summer of 1983, my superior Major Andrzej Sieniuc handed me a sealed envelope marked 'open only at the direction of superiors.' I was to keep it. Sieniuc said that this was Wałęsa's personal file. The file was with me for a day or two, and I was instructed to send it back to the Bureau of Studies in Warsaw. The file had previously arrived in Gdańsk from the Bureau of Studies. It was a personal file of a secret collaborator. From what I heard, this file circulated between Warsaw and Gdańsk. In previous years, it was said in the department that Wałęsa was a secret collaborator." I could go on like this almost endlessly... but one thing is certain: the prosecutor's position that "the only witness who directly testified that Lech Wałęsa was TW 'Bolek' was the late Edward Graczyk" is a blatant LIE!!! And the question of the second lie is even more important! In the prosecutor's statement, reference was made to an alleged note prepared by Edward Graczyk on February 16, 1971, stating that "Wałęsa did not begin cooperation as a secret collaborator." This document was fabricated at the UOP delegation in Gdańsk, inserted into the case files of the object with the codename "Autumn 70," and the entirety of the files was paginated anew. In the book "SB and Lech Wałęsa" on pages 213-214 (and this manipulation was also confirmed in the prosecutorial proceedings in Gdańsk), we described the circumstances of this document being planted as well as the document itself: "In volume XXII of the case files with the codename 'Autumn 70,' there is a document paginated as page 269. It was allegedly prepared by Capt. Edward Graczyk on February 16, 1971. (...) The content of this very laconic note seems strange. Documents concerning attempts to recruit a person as a collaborator were typically directed to the corresponding file of the 'candidate for a Secret Collaborator', and not to any object file. Moreover, such a document was usually very detailed: it generally described the circumstances of the meeting and the motives for which the person refused contact or resigned from further cooperation. Even more doubts arise regarding various details concerning the pragmatics of the SB office. The paper on which the document was prepared is atypical and distinguishes it from other documents in the file. Although it was labeled 'secret', it lacks information regarding the copy number. At the bottom of the note, there is no separator indicating where the note was sent. Even if this was the only copy of the note, it would have to contain information about the position and signature of the creator. Here there is not even the SB unit in which the alleged author of the note served. Therefore, the creation of such a document in the SB office seems rather improbable. Its credibility seems ultimately undermined by two important elements of the case. The TW codenamed 'Klin', mentioned in the note, does not appear in any other SB documents concerning department W-4, the Gdańsk shipyard named after Lenin, and object cases with the codenames 'Autumn 70' and 'Arka.' Furthermore, thanks to the analysis of the SB registration journal, we know that there was no agent with the pseudonym 'Klin' in the operational records of the III Division of the Gdańsk SB at that time. He appears only in the alleged note by Graczyk in order to surveil L. Wałęsa following the refusal to cooperate with the SB. Equally important for assessing the credibility of the aforementioned document is the pagination of the entire volume XXII of the case files with the codename 'Autumn 70', in which this document is located. This mentioned volume was paginated three times. The oldest pagination was likely created when transferring the files to the archive during the existence of the SB. The next one also comes from this period or was prepared already in the times of the UOP. The last pagination, stamped, was made by employees of the Institute of National Remembrance. The discussed document has only one pagination, that coming from the times of the IPN. The conclusion is quite obvious: the alleged report of Capt. E. Graczyk about not beginning cooperation with the SB was not in the discussed volume of files at the time it was handed over to the archive in 1978. It ended up here later, probably in the 1990s. (...) Everything indicates that this dubious authenticity 'Graczyk's note' may have been planted in the file during the UOP, most likely after June 1992." In the meantime, other documents have also emerged showing that the document cited by prosecutor Żurek is a forgery! Mr. Minister, you are irreplaceable, as in the justification for the dismissal of the proceedings, you referred to a falsified UOP document! Fragment of the book "SB and Lech Wałęsa" 👇 (translated)

Stevie Ray Vaughan (Dallas (Texas), 3 oktober 1954 – East Troy (Wisconsin), 27 augustus 1990) was een Amerikaanse blueszanger en -gitarist. Geïnspireerd door zijn oudere broer Jimmie begon Vaughan op jonge leeftijd gitaar te spelen. Hij bleek getalenteerd en trad toe tot een aantal lokale bandjes. In 1972 stopte Vaughan met studeren om zich volledig te kunnen concentreren op muziek. Hij wist niet goed wat hij voor carrière wilde; naar eigen zeggen was muziek zijn enige uitweg. Daarom verhuisde hij naar Austin, Texas en werd daar beroepsartiest. https://hvdommelen.nl/v/Vaughan.html

Attention: the minister of justice's lies! Dear Minister @w_zurek, I call you to an open discussion about what you wrote in the post below and what your prosecutor's office stated in the announcement! As a constitutional minister, you are publicly using historical falsehoods that must be confronted with facts. I inform you that the SB never used forged (let alone "massively") signatures of Wałęsa and documents in correspondence with the Nobel Committee! These are known facts established by historians and even by the prosecutor's office, which on March 31, 2015 (during the Civic Platform's government!) stated that in the years 1982-1983, there was an attempt in the SB to create documents (based on "Bolek"s files from 1970-1976) indicating that Wałęsa "is" an SB agent during the "Solidarity" period (after 1980): "after taking this position, in an unspecified period in 1982-1983, Władysław Kuca instructed the Deputy Head of the II Department, Józef Burak, to prepare forged documents indicating that Lech Wałęsa is a secret collaborator of the state security organs. Józef Burak, together with Adam Styliński, prepared texts representing reports from a secret collaborator, suggesting that they come from Lech Wałęsa. Władysław Kuca analyzed the content of these documents and made corrections to them. The materials were copied by Kazimierz Maraszkiewicz, delegated to the Office of Studies from the Department of Technique, who based on the documents handwritten by Lech Wałęsa, forged his writing. The fabricated materials were then examined by experts in handwriting identification. The experts' opinions unequivocally indicated that these were forged documents. In this situation, Władysław Kuca ordered the destruction of all fabricated documents. Józef Burak and Adam Styliński personally destroyed the materials produced by Tadeusz Maraszkiewicz". Consequently, the ORIGINAL information handwriting of TW pseudonym "Bolek" from January 12, 1971, was passed to the Nobel Committee in 1982. How do we know this? From the "Kiszczak files," which is the work file of TW pseudonym "Bolek" found in the apartment of gen. Cz. Kiszczak. At the place where the original information TW pseudonym "Bolek" from January 12, 1971, was originally archived, an envelope with a copy of this document was inserted (preceding it in the file is a typewritten version of the information from January 12, 1971) accompanied by a special report from Major Adam Styliński and Captain Józef Burak to Colonel Adam Malik (all from the Office of Studies SB MSW) dated November 4, 1986, stating: "We kindly ask for the approval of the disposal of the original report TW pseudonym 'Bolek' from January 12, 1971, removed from file no. archival I 14713, card 2, pages 25 and 26 (a photocopy of the report is attached). This document was used in special actions codenamed 'Ambassador,' carried out in the first decade of 1982, no. 00377/86". The report was approved by Colonel A. Malik on November 4, 1986 (see IPN BU 3333/1, vol. 2, p. 78). Thus, as part of attempts to compromise Wałęsa, who in 1982 was first a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize (which he was ultimately awarded in 1983), the Office of Studies SB MSW used the original reports of TW pseudonym "Bolek" as part of the operation codenamed "Ambassador," which were passed to the ambassador of the Kingdom of Norway in the PRL. Regardless of the "Ambassador" operation, the information TW pseudonym "Bolek" from January 12, 1971, was circulated as part of SB actions directed against Anna Walentynowicz and Marek Mądrzejewski, which has been described earlier (S. Cenckiewicz, P. Gontarczyk, SB a Lech Wałęsa..., pp. 140-141 and 154-155; S. Cenckiewicz, Anna Solidarity. Life and activity of Anna Walentynowicz against the backdrop of the era (1929-2010), Poznań 2010, pp. 299-300 and others). The Minister does not know what he is writing, or he is lying deliberately! Therefore, I publicly demand a confrontation! Let him publicly defend his theses! It can be a university confrontation, it can be on @KanalZeroNews or anywhere else (I know he will not come to @RepublikaTV)! Anytime today, anytime tomorrow! (translated)

So that you can understand well (because I see that many do not comprehend this): Tusk's madmen from the prosecutor's office concluded that Wałęsa was a "secondary illiterate" not only during the period of 1970-1976, that is, during his cooperation with the SB as "Bolek", but also as the chairman of the NSZZ "Solidarity"! Do you understand!!! These madmen claim that at the head of the 10-million "Solidarity" movement stood a "secondary illiterate". Evidence, that is, a quote: "at that time he was a secondary illiterate, he did not use writing and read poorly, and the documents he signed as chairman of the Trade Union 'Solidarity' were written for him by other people". Be careful in this @Prok_Okreg_Wawa because after your pseudodeterminations, someone might think that you are defending Wałęsa against the charge of collaboration with the SB during the period of 1980-1989!!! And even I do not know anything about it! I wouldn't have expected such PR for the "Polish brand," which - as Tusk always repeated - is Lech Wałęsa! Was the Nobel for an illiterate? I strongly protest!!! (translated)
