Armand Rajabpour-Miyandoab, the Franco-Iranian terrorist who stabbed a tourist to death and injured two other people with a hammer on Saturday, not far from the Eiffel Tower in Paris, had contact with the perpetrators of no less than three recent French terror attacks. One of these contacts was the assassin of Samuel Paty, the history teacher who was stabbed to death and whose body was then decapitated in 2020 after he showed his students caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad in a civics class on freedom of expression.
In 2018, Rajabpour-Miyandoab was already convicted of forming part of a plot to attack the Parisian business district of La Défense. In addition, citing police and judicial sources, both the French daily Le Parisen and the news channel BFM report that Rajabpour-Miyandoab had contact with the following three perpetrators of notorious French terror attacks:
- Larossi Aballa, who in June 2016 killed the police officer Jean-Baptiste Salvaing and his wife Jennifer Schneider, also a police employee, at their home in Magnanville near Paris. After taking her hostage, Aballa would slit Schneider’s throat in front of the couple’s three-year-old son who survived the attack.
- Adel Kermiche, who, just one month later, along with an accomplice, killed Father Jacques Hamel, stabbing him and slitting his throat following a mass at the Saint-Étienne church in Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, also not far from Paris.
- And Abdoullakh Anzorov, the killer of Samuel Paty. Paty was killed outside his school in the Parisian suburb of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine.
More alarmingly still, Rajabpour-Miyandoab is reported to have had contact with Anzorov in early October 2020, shortly after his own release from prison and just two weeks before the assassination of Samuel Paty.
Much has been made of the fact that Rajabpour-Miyandoab is a French citizen who was born in France. But it should be noted that of the three aforementioned terrorists, only Anzorov was not a French citizen who was born in France.
According to Le Parisien, “Armand” Rajabpour-Miyandoab, who was in fact born Iman Rajabpour-Miyandoab, has since adopted the name “Amine”.
It appears, indeed, that he does not come from a religious family, and, in any case, the overwhelming majority of Iranian Muslims are, of course, Shias, who are themselves regarded as heretics by Sunni fundamentalist groups like Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State. Speaking in Arabic in a video recorded prior to his attack, Rajabpour-Miyandoab pledged allegiance to the latter.
The main victim of the Paris attack has been widely described as a “German tourist”, but he appears in fact to be a native of the Philippines who, according to Le Parisien, only recently moved to Germany to take up employment in a nursing home. The fact that the victim is Filipino could be of significance, since just hours after the Paris attack, a Catholic mass was struck by a terror attack on Sunday morning at Mindanao State University in the Philippines. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the latter attack.

The guy is just an imbecile totally out of his depth. You’d get more sensible advice from the drunk down yr local boozer than you’d get from our Paddy.
Totally disagree. He is a big fat liar. As Yeadon points out, these guys knew exactly what Yeadon knew, they just chose to take a different position, for reasons we may never be fully informed about, none of them honourable.
I dunno commies are pretty delusional. Most will believe it right until the system comes to kill their own fam.
Maybe so, though for senior commies communism works pretty well – until you are purged…
With you tof. The so-called advisers are lying. Dr Mike Yeadon knows the level of these people and when he says they knew what they were up to it’s because he’s right.
At some point the likes of Witless and Unbalanced were given their orders by a Davos Deviant minion and all of a sudden their stories changed. The facts haven’t changed though and they are still despicable liars as they are proving in the Hallett pantomime.
He is bought and paid for.
He’s not incompetent and neither is Witty they’ve known the truth all along as tof say’s they’re both disgusting liars. I think the change of direction is due to them being either weak or more likely got at and brought.
I’ve always wondered what the compromat is on Witty he always looked nervous about the nonsense he was spouting.
Remember that youth….Witty you are a liar!
I hope yr right but in the case of unbalanced I believe he’s a crack pot commie.
Something changed big time around mid March, globally.
Jeffrey Tucker has looked into this area quite deeply in case of Trump/USA
Most have come to the conclusion that the military&co must have taken charge then.
So much for cockups, that’s for sure.
Yep.
See the Snowden papers.

Believe it or not, the Guardian actually was a paragon of investigative journalism – until this….
Spot on. I can also remember his earlier output via the BBC News channel back in early 2020 (I don’t watch it now). It may be that he changed his mind later on, but appears to have been “economical with the truth” at the Inquiry, perhaps just answering the questions that the barrister has asked; legal skills on display.
Anyway, the same barrister is interviewing his mate today, so we’ll see what the outcome is. An hour or so ago, GBN was reporting in it (split with the Korean visit to Buckingham Palace – so a bit disjointed).
“Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.”
In good King Charles’s golden days,
When loyalty no harm meant,
A zealous High-Churchman I was,
And so I got preferment;
Unto my flock I daily preached
Kings were by God appointed,
And damned was he that durst resist
Or touch the Lord’s anointed.
And this is law, I will maintain,
Until my dying day, Sir,
That whatsoever king shall reign,
I’ll be the Vicar of Bray, Sir.
When royal James obtained the crown,
And Popery came in fashion,
The penal laws I hooted down,
And read the declaration:
The Church of Rome I found would fit
Full well my constitution,
And had become a Jesuit,
But for the Revolution.
And this is law, I will maintain,
Until my dying day, Sir,
That whatsoever king shall reign,
I’ll be the Vicar of Bray, Sir.
Seems simple to me. In March 2020 it became (for whatever reason) good for one’s career and pocket to promote lockdowns.
Whatever is steering the inquiry that way, it is clear to the same people that preaching earlier and harder lockdowns is the key to preferment now.
The Vicar of Bray analogy is sound – outside of fiction, one can see the prelates doing such repeated back flips throughout the troubled times of the Tudor Reformation, as I often remembered during COVID itself.
One bonus from this nonsense. Millions of us now completely distrust the PTB in both government and “public health”. Next time this all comes round again, lockdown etc. , we will just say – “fuck that, no way”.
Wishful thinking. If my friends are representative of the population then tens of millions need only to be given the nod and they will all dig out their Karen uniforms and insignia and shut their churches, pubs and gatherings, while banging saucepans, flaunting their masked faces on social media and refusing to mingle with the unvaxxed.
Sadly and reluctantly I think you’re correct.
Snowdon was one of the covidiots!
We operate under the assumption that people with good jobs where their opinions have value – that they must have the cohones to hold to these views. If you’re surprised by the stupidity in our society then you will be more more surprised by the cowardice. Not to mention the venality and whorishness of such people, The fact is that we grew up convincing ourselves that the people in charge had at least some integrity. In a sense it was a compulsion because to admit otherwise would undermine the very framework of our own existence. As horrible as all of this is at least it shows things up in the cold light of day.
They wanted to segregate society. That is bad enough in itself. But the badge of being acceptable was to get yourself shot up full of poison. It is like a ‘think of the most evil plan in the world’ exercise. And that’s before you even mention infertility etc. This is no joke. This is the biggest assault that we will ever face even if we come face to face with a nuke in the future.This was cold and calculated and nasty and designed to injure or kill.
You had old men who had let flawlessly conscientious lives who had abstained from the drink all their lives being found in a pool of their own urine and vomit and dead from despair and dejection. The spririt which they pushed forth destroyed the mental health of countless millions from pensioners to small children. And it wasn’t even given a mention as it was happening. A remarkable acceleration in terms of the deterioration of dementia patients. That tells me a lot and all I need to know.
Watching Sir Patrick Valance this morning made me unhealthy angry. I don’t like to think I have it in me to hate anyone, but these people make me sick to the stomach even writing this is making my blood fucking boil.
They have to be hated because anything less is moral failure. You should never carry around hatred in your heart because it is bad for your health. But in termns of awarenss of the situation, you can’t really pretend that this hasn’t happened. And it is an ongong very nasty situation.I am still dealing with the attack of the bioweapon. I don’t think it has permanently reduced me. I don’t care it has done immense damage and I don’t forget.We shouldn’t allow any diminution.
