Go on, share me your prescribed list.

Literally the worst “source” on twitter. The imbecile spin doctor of Malaysian Maga. An absolute moron of galactic proportions that live to scam money out of those even less informed than he is. Even Elon Musk and Maria Zakharova are better sources.

I don’t say that lightly.

You’ll be pleased.

Slow clap

Anyway, I shrug to that. Read what you’d like. It’s your brain.

Can you stop posting this crap if you don’t have anything useful to add.

From what I have seen from official sources, the perpetrator is a Saudi national, aged 50, who has worked as a doctor since 2006 and is not known to have any islamist connections.

One would assume that the police are now trawling through his effects.

This would partly account for why the existing security measures failed to show any warning.

I don’t expect to hear a full assessment for a few months, mainly because this would prejudice any criminal trial.

Yes, by several sources.
I doubt Bild has something as serious as this wrong, despite being Bild, as an example.

I’m not familiar with who ‘Ian Miles Cheong’ is. That said, not that important either way, when the tweet is essentially a video of someone else, more or less.

I usually scroll down on the sources I use on twitter to see who they are, what else they post and if I think I can trust them. But that’s me.

He is just an opinion megaphone, not a source. But anyway, I don’t want to spend time discussing him or sources. I have my girlfriend here and I am leaving back home tomorrow.

Take care, all.

Crap. Please.

Perhaps you can’t see the wood for the trees.

Perhaps you can read German from first hand sources?

That might be linked to the alkiline attack at Winter Wonderland earlier in the week

What we now know…The perpetrator is an Islam critic and a big AFD fan.

From Der Spiegel. I used Google translate for some bits

Suspect was a fan of Elon Musk and Alex Jones
Taleb A. apparently shared the resentment of conspiracy ideologists and agitators such as the US podcaster Alex Jones or the British right-wing activist Tommy Robinson. The entrepreneur Elon Musk, who has been increasingly open about his sympathies for right-wing parties, was also one of his role models: “If you listen to someone like Tommy Robinson or even Elon Musk, and even if you don’t want to know/hear anything about Islamization, you will think that the two of them are conspiracy theorists,” said A. in an interview. "But I can say from experience that everything Robinson says, what Musk says, what Alex Jones says, or anyone who is described by traditional media as a radical or right-wing extremist - they are telling the truth

On Friday evening, Elon Musk called for the resignation of the German Chancellor in response to the suspected attack in Magdeburg. “Scholz should resign immediately,” wrote the richest person in the world on his platform X, criticising the German head of government as an “incompetent fool”. In another post, Musk shared video footage that appeared to show emergency vehicles at the Magdeburg Christmas market. “Horrible,” he commented on the footage.?

Taleb A. speaks in video about crude theories
In a video interview published eight days ago on an anti-Islamic US blog, Taleb A. speaks for over 45 minutes about his crude theories: The German state is running a “covert secret operation” to “hunt down and destroy the lives of Saudi ex-Muslims” around the world, while at the same time Syrian jihadists are being granted asylum in Germany

So he escaped extremism only to use the most extreme methods to display his anger?

RIP to the victims.

The cynic in me has always felt as though many of these are false flag operations often designed to increase support for the far-right. It’s a well-known effect by now, that such acts have that effect, it’s not a big leap for someone who wants to muddy the waters to do that.

It’s just a propagandist reposting a video of another propagandist.
