Terrorist Suspects in Europe Got Welfare Benefits While Plotting Attacks

Wall St. Journal ^ | 8/4/2016 | By MARK MAREMONT and VALENTINA POP

[Mr. Mojo]

Belgian financial investigators looking into recent terror plots have discovered a disturbing trend: Some of the suspects were collecting welfare benefits until shortly before they carried out their attacks.

At least five of the alleged plotters in the Paris and Brussels terror attacks partly financed themselves with payments from Belgium’s generous social-welfare system, authorities have concluded. In total they received more than €50,000, or about $56,000 at today’s rate.

The main surviving Paris suspect, Salah Abdeslam, collected unemployment benefits until three weeks before the November attacks—€19,000 in all, according to people familiar with the case. At the time, he was manager and part-owner of a bar, which Belgian officials say should have made him ineligible.

Many of the participants in a disrupted Belgian terror plot also had been on the dole, according to the judge who sentenced more than a dozen people in the so-called Verviers cell last month. Police thwarted the plot early last year, finding explosives, weapons and police uniforms after a shootout that killed two people.

The revelations raise a difficult conundrum for Europe….

They were helped by CLINTON and Obama.
IS THERE NO JOURNALISM, anymore? [/s you know there is not]

Hacked Emails: Obama and Clinton Armed ISIS, in Syria

Wikileaks: Hillary Clinton Knew Weapons Supplied to al Qaeda

Wikileaks: Hillary Clinton Got Wealthy By Arming ISIS Militants
Assange told Democracy Now that Clinton was director of French company Lafarge
whilst simultaneously serving her term as Secretary of State.
Lafarge attempted to topple President Assad by arming ISIS
and supporting their efforts in destabilizing the country.
Daily Pakistan reports: “Hillary’s hacked emails include info
on Hillary arming the rebels in Syria – which ultimately
became the Islamic State militant group ,” he went on to say while responding to a query..

Lafarge also has close ties to Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Apart from being a regular donor to the Clinton Foundation,
Clinton herself was a director of Lafarge in the early 1990s,
and did legal work for the firm in the 1980s.
During her connection to Lafarge, the firm was implicated
in facilitating a CIA-backed covert arms export network to Saddam Hussein.
An investigative report by the French daily Le Monde
revealed in June that the corporation, the world’s leader in construction materials,
had paid taxes to Isis middlemen, as well as other armed groups in Syria,
to protect its cement business operations in the country.
But the Le Monde story only covered a fraction of the revelations.
Previous investigations by Zaman al-Wasl, an independent news outlet
run by elements of the Syrian opposition, revealed that Lafarge
had even regularly bought oil from Isis.

Similar to the Tsarnaev brothers who committed the Boston Marathon bombings. It has been reported that their family received every manor of welfare benefits for decades

"The revelations raise a difficult conundrum for Europe…."

What an absolutely asinine comment to make.

France and England started letting muzzies into their countries about ten years ago at an ungodly rate.

What's so difficult a conundrum in admitting you're an asshole and kicking the muzzies out ?

NO ONE on the planet (except equally asinine assholes) would say a THING about a nation that finally showed some common sense and balls.

[rbg81]

Is anyone really surprised by this? Sadly, this type of suicidal stupidity is SOP in the West.

[OttawaFreeper]

I recall a “60 Minutes” story done not long after 9/11, in which it was revealed some of the plotters were living in Canada (helping out with the planning and preparation of that attack) and living on welfare. This caused the typical sanctimonious comments from my country’s talking classes about how racist and insensitive showing this was and that GW Bush was still an idiot, etc.

Really shows what sort of dreamworld that these people live in. Would not be surprised that there will be a similar reaction concerning this story in particular.

btt

[sport]

They get welfare benefits while plotting attacks over here[ The United States of America] too.

[Original Lurker]

Correct.
Plus, the Governor Patrick Duvall sealed the records so the extent of their “entitlements” wouldn’t be known to the public.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Which leads to the position, that all the “sanctuary cities” deserve everything they get.

Don’t go to those places.

[moovova]

The government welfare checkwriters should be charged with sponsoring terrorism.

Hang a few of these politicians.

[allendale]

The real story is that historians one day will document that a post Christian, neo pagan epicurean Europe subsidized the Muslim migrations and colonization of Europe that was the final blow to their culture, heritage and civilization. Of course it will only be documented if a faithful remnant survives that will record the truth.

[uncitizen]

Of course they’re collecting welfare! That’s part of their strategy. Make their victims pay for their own demise!

[Katya]

Watched a german investigative report on migrants and refugees who register with numerous german states under different names to get benefits from each. As with the German axe terrorist who turns out had fingerprints on file in Hungary, the euros are doing little to cross check identities.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

There’s a lot of wishful thinking going on in Europe. The citizens believe the Muzzies will eventually become European.
Fat chance.

[GailA]

And all the isis refugees will get the total American welfare package to fund their next American attack, rape or some 1 on 1 killings, next target will be more Police Officers and blame it on Black Lies Matters.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

They are getting welfare benefits here, sometimes in many different names along with their many different wives and kids.

[P.O.E.]

suspects were collecting welfare benefits

Why not? That's the whole idea. The more uneducated and dependent future voters, the better.

[hal ogen]

So what? Terrorist implants here get all sorts of handouts/welfare. That is America “transformed” by these traitors.

[Mr. Mojo]

The one-world statists aim for a post-voting society where unelected bureaucrats reign. They want serfs, not voters. And they’re not far from their goal.
