Mohammedan Megaphones in Melbourne

I know they are calling them emergency loudspeakers, but I think they’ve been secretly installed to broadcast the Muslim call to prayer, for when Victoria eventually submits to Islam…

Early jihad warning loudspeakers, or as we call them here at Aussie Madness, “Mohammedan Megaphones”, have been installed and tested in Melbourne, although strangely they didn’t use them for the Flinders Street attack…

The new CBD emergency siren system was ready to go during last week’s Flinders Street carnage, however, police decided not to use it.

Acting Police Chief Commissioner Shane Patton said police chose not to activate the alarms last Thursday when a driver allegedly drove into a crowded intersection, injuring 18, as they were able to quickly contain the incident.

Some media outlets are referring to it as a “terror warning system” which is terribly racist. We all know it should be called a “mental health warning system”. Or simply the Melbourne Muezzin.

Long list of terror-related vehicle attacks

Wikipedia has a page on vehicle ramming attacks which lists recent terror and non-terror related incidents. It is instructive on many levels.

Firstly, the list of non-terror related events is almost as long as the terror-related events, the impression given that non-terror related vehicular events are just part and parcel of modern life in a big city, as London mayor Sadiq Khan once said. But some of these non-terror related events are suspicious, to say the least.

• For example, the Bourke Street rampage in Melbourne last year, and the recent Flinders Street incident are both in the list, despite both of the perpetrators referring to Islam, Allah and Muslims during their interviews…
• An attempted incident in Antwerp in March 2017 is classified as non-terror related, despite the car containing a gun and several knives, and the driver was named Mohamed…
• A car ramming in Heidelberg in February 2017 is also classified as non-terror related, despite the driver being armed with a knife. The police brushed off any suggestion this was terrorism, but refused to name the suspect or provide any further information…
• The attack in Graz, Austria, in 2015 is listed as non-terror related, but the driver was a Bosnian Muslim who had recently “shifted to a stricter interpretation of Islam”. After crashing the car, he exited the vehicle and attempted a number of stabbings…
• In 2006, an Afghan Muslim killed one and injured 18 by ramming his car into bystanders in the San Francisco Bay Area. Once again, this is listed as non-terror related. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity, although Islam and insanity are not mutually exclusive…

Secondly, the list of terror-related incidents is long, and the years 2016 and 2017 are highly over-represented in the list.

Thirdly, vehicular attacks were almost unheard of until the last decade, and have increased in frequency considerably in the last few years. Correlation is no indication of causation, but ISIS encouraged vehicular attacks in a September 2014 document:

If you are not able to find an IED [improvised explosive device] or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him. Do not lack. Do not be contemptible. Let your slogan be, “May I not be saved if the cross worshipper and taghūt (ruler ruling by manmade laws) patron survives.”

Finally, whenever there are multiple causative factors, the media and governments will choose the least inconvenient – mental illness, drugs, intoxication etc – despite them frequently being combined with some religious motivation.

Mental health sculptures

Clearly those in authority in New South Wales don’t think that the global Islamic jihad, sorry, mental health crisis, will be resolved anytime soon. In Martin Place, outside the Lindt Cafe, scene of a previous outbreak of mental illness, roadwork-style temporary concrete blocks have been replaced with permanent sculpted concrete spheres.

Surely in this time of acute jihad threat, sorry, mental health crisis, in Australia the government should be funneling millions of dollars towards better healthcare, rather than just treating the symptoms.

The mother of Melbourne jihadi, sorry, “driver with a drug and/or mental health-induced impairment causing accidental impact with pedestrians”, has blamed drugs for his actions. From under her hijab, she said ($), “Beautiful son, drug no good. Three years sick, very sick. All the time he’s sick.”

At least the Victorian police aren’t falling into the racist and bigoted trap of thinking that any of this had anything to do with terrorism. They are still firmly of the opinion that this was all about drugs and mental health. Sure, he rambled on about Allah and Muslims in the hospital, but we all know that’s irrelevant to this investigation. I mean, who doesn’t ramble about Allah and Muslims after they’ve mown down innocent people in a car?

Islamic motives and drug problems with mental health issues are mutually exclusive – he was a just a good Afghan Muslim refugee who was the victim of drug pushers and a failing mental health system.

So we can all stop worrying – this was just another unfortunate random act, which has no link to anything, especially Islamic jihad, just like the Lindt Cafe siege, the murder of Curtis Cheng, and all those plots to kill and maim which were foiled by security services. All of this is a great relief to our governments and police, because if they weren’t, we might have to do something about it.

Mental health bollards

A sudden outbreak of ‘mental health issues’ across the globe has required the rapid installation of ugly concrete blocks and bollards in our cities.

The bollards have been installed to stop normally peaceful Australians from committing mass murder whilst experiencing unexpected episodes of mental illness.  It is important not to believe that these measures have anything to do with protecting innocent people from jihadi terror – they are only there to deal with this random uptick in mental health issues and drug problems.

The fact that most people who commit such acts are either Muslim or have ties to Islam, and wear long beards with shaved moustaches, should not distract anyone from the shocking and unprecedented epidemic of mental health issues that is afflicting Australia and the rest of the world, such as in Nice, Westminster, London Bridge, Berlin etc etc.

The man that drove into a crowd in Melbourne yesterday was a normal ocker Aussie bloke (from Afghanistan) who practises an unspecified religion, who has a long history of mental health issues and drug problems, and also has a long beard with a shaved moustache. But the only issue here is the mental health issues and drug problems. Any suggestion that this is a terror incident is just racist and xenophobic, and stirring up hate.

The fact that there was another guy who was filming it all on his phone and was carrying a bag of knives should not in any way be seen as evidence of a conspiracy to commit a terrorist act and film it for jihadist web sites. People take bags of knives out in the middle of Melbourne all the time.

Victorian government spokesmen have said that there must be a full inquiry into the mental health and drug situation of the state, in particular cracking down on ice dealers. Because that’s the real issue here. Drugs and mental health issues.

Denial is a river in Egypt.
