I thought Australia had some of the strictest and most effective gun laws in the world. How can this be? /sarc

Sadly, there’s about 8 freepers who think this is great.

They’ll go quiet for a week or two and start up again. Claim this was a false flag.

We are so past time for a Viking Kitty party.

And Australia’s response is more gun control, not muslim control.

Murder of Jews.

Just for example, one poster suggested what was needed to end Islamic violence was a new 1492 Edict of Expulsion (where Spain expelled Jews and gave Muslims freedom of religion):

(In fairness, that poster might just be stupid and not know what the Edict did.)

But there are plenty posting lies about Gaza being genocide, eviction of Arab squatters on privately-owned Jewish land in Judea was “colonialism” etc.

Chapter 815.202 | Update & Analysis: 15 December 2025

Source link above :

Chapter 815.202 — The Known and the Unstopped

Subtitle: When Travel, Terror, and Silence Converge

There is a pattern that repeats itself so often in modern terrorism cases that it has become almost ritualistic.

After the blood is cleaned from the streets.
After the victims are counted.
After the press conferences end.

We hear the same sentence:

“The suspects were known to authorities.”

Chapter 815.202 belongs in that category — not because it is unique, but because it is tragically familiar.

The Australia Case

According to The Daily Telegraph, the father and son responsible for the massacre in Australia had traveled to the Philippines just months before the attack — specifically to regions where ISIS-linked training camps are known to exist.

This alone does not prove guilt.
Travel is not a crime.

But this detail becomes explosive when combined with a second fact:

Both individuals were already known to police.

That is the convergence point — the moment where coincidence ends and systemic failure begins to demand explanation.

Why the Philippines Matters

Southern Philippines, particularly Mindanao, has been a persistent hub for:
• ISIS-aligned groups
• Foreign fighter facilitation
• Weapons training
• Ideological indoctrination

For years, Western intelligence agencies have tracked:
• Australians
• Europeans
• Southeast Asians

traveling into these regions for radicalization and tactical preparation, often returning home quietly — until they don’t.

This is not speculation.
This is established counterterrorism history.

The Red Flags That Aligned

In modern threat assessment, the following combination is considered high-risk:
• Prior law enforcement awareness
• Travel to extremist-controlled or influenced regions
• Return without debrief, monitoring, or intervention

And yet — nothing happened.

No visible escalation.
No preventative disruption.
No apparent questioning before the attack.

The Uncomfortable Question

Chapter 815.202 does not accuse.
It asks.

Why were they not investigated?

Was it:
• Legal thresholds?
• Intelligence silos?
• Resource exhaustion?
• Political reluctance?
• A belief that the threat had passed?

Or something worse — normalization?

When “known to police” becomes a bureaucratic placeholder rather than a trigger for action.

A Pattern Across the West

This chapter does not stand alone.

It echoes:
• London
• Paris
• Brussels
• Nice
• Orlando
• San Bernardino

Different countries.
Same after-action reports.

Known individuals.
Known ideology.
Known travel routes.

Unknown urgency — until it is too late.

Ezekiel’s Watchman Warning

“Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.”
— Ezekiel 33:7 (KJV)

The watchman is not judged for the sword —
but for whether he sounded the alarm.

When warning signs are seen but not acted upon, responsibility does not vanish with silence.

The Shift in Modern Terror

ISIS no longer needs mass training camps or centralized commands.

Today’s model is:
• Short foreign exposure
• Ideological reinforcement
• Tactical inspiration
• Autonomous execution

This is harder to detect — but not invisible.

Which makes inaction more troubling, not less.

The Spiritual Parallel

In the 815 series, patterns matter.

Just as nations ignore warning signs before collapse, institutions ignore indicators before catastrophe.

Scripture warns repeatedly:
• Before judgment
• Before exile
• Before disaster

The signs were present — and dismissed.

Closing Reflection

Chapter 815.202 is not about hindsight outrage.

It is about accountability in the age of warning overload.

When every signal is normalized, none are acted upon.
When every suspect is “known,” no one is stopped.

And when watchmen stop warning, the sword comes anyway

Meanwhile the leftist a-hole who runs Australia is blaming loose gun laws. This in a country that has confiscated guns from their citizens.

Apparently the older shooter owned his guns legally. So maybe the gun control laws are not enforced equally.

Amen. I know SpartanSixDelta is closely connected to Amir and much of the content of his book is inspired by Amir’s teaching on eschatology. He makes very sound analysis without crossing the line between Biblical FACTS and modern news analysis. We are to be OBSERVING news through the lens of eschatology NOT changing Biblical prophecy to match modern news analysis! This is Amir’s strong suit by far.

Having read Daniel, Ezekiel and Revelation in perfect harmony THIS is the lens through which we must view HISTORY !

That said. It is time for a humor break : Completely OFF Topic. But here it is. To get the Answer you MUST visit:
