Austria Throws Out Its Presidential Election and May Throw Out Jihadists, Too

AT: Europeans are revolting against their transnational elites, with Austria now throwing out its presidential election that cheated the nationalist candidate of victory.  Friday last week took Austria through a roller-coaster of emotional news — alarming, then exhilarating or depressing, depending on one’s perspective.

It was first announced that Akhmed Chatayev, the Chechen Istanbul airport terror suspect, had been given asylum in Austria since 2003, then an Austrian passport that allowed him free travel within Europe and beyond. Yet, at the same time, he was on Russia’s wanted list.  In multiple incidents that took place in various countries between 2003 and 2015, Chatayev was caught with explosives and ammunitions, or photos of victims killed in a blast. Astonishingly, he would either be acquitted, or released on ‘humanitarian’ grounds. Just once, he served a brief one-year jail sentence in a Swedish prison.

Russia repeatedly demanded his extradition, to no avail. The European Court of Human Rights and Amnesty International advocated twice on his behalf, fearing he would face torture. It is only when Chatayev entered Syria to join the Islamic State in 2015, that he was finally placed on the terror list of both the US and UN.

Chatayev’s case was by no means an isolated one. Austria had for years been a hub for global jihad — a “de facto base for Islamist extremists from southeastern Europe, a place to radicalize, recruit, raise and hide funds, thanks to Austria’s permissive laws and weak enforcement mechanisms.”  MORE

  1. Austria also welcomed the Nazis with open arms in the Anschluss of 1938. Good for the Nazis, bad for the Juden. Austria fiercely resists all attempts to reunite hundreds of millions of $$ in Jewish art work with the kin of its rightful owners who were gleefully turned over for internment and destruction. Almost 200,000 Jews lived in Austria prior to Anschluss; there’s maybe 12-15,000 there now.

    I see the Muslim invasion as payback.
