Germans Knew Berlin Christmas Market Terrorist Planned To Attack Nearly A Year In Advance

Germany's intelligence services knew Berlin Christmas market terrorist Anis Amri downloaded bomb making instructions on his phone nearly a year prior to a Dec. 2016 incident, German media reports.

German police were reportedly approached by an informant about Amri in Nov. 2015 and had his cell phone under surveillance when they learned of him downloading terror instruction manuals. Ten months prior to the attack German authorities also knew that Amri was using his cell phone to message Islamic State operatives in Libya...

German authorities rejected Amri's asylum application but did not deport him because the Tunisian government refused to confirm his identity. Amri was subsequently released, and allowed to remain unmolested in Berlin for months.

If the German people aren't willing to take harsh measures against the politicians stabbing them in the back, they deserve what they get. That advice goes for other countries as well. I have a favorite quotation by Hobbes...

The obligation of subjects to the sovereign is understood to last as long, and no longer, than the power lasteth by which he is able to protect them

When that power lasteth by which he is able to protect them is willfully put aside, citizens have a duty...to themselves. People have a duty to protect themselves,,,it goes beyond a right

If citizens have to punish their politicians in order to protect themselves, so be it. Politicians have a right to choose between service and betrayal. Citizens that do not punish those that harm them can expect further harm.

Europe is in such a decrepit state that it's easier for them to allow violent criminals to skate by on the grounds that they're a racial minority (soon to be majority) but they continue to imprison people for peaceful speech.

People make their own choices; if they want to walk off a cliff, we have to let them.

The only problem occurs when their foolishness affects your own safety

Well... He can't very well blow shit up from jail!

Hey buddy... I'm going to need your expertise again. Bitpay is fucking with people now, only taking money from approved wallets (which I don't have and Blocktrades isn't one) What's a nigga to do???

I saw that email and had a bad reaction; turns out they accept the wallet I already use, no biggie

I set up a post for this:
https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@stevescoins/using-electrum-wallet-to-move-funds-to-bitpay-card

I set up a wallet and my money still won't go through... I don't get it! I take it that Electrum takes their cut automatically (I hope)

did it complete?

there is always a mining fee ;> Its small enough to where I dont notice it

It says that it's sent from Electrum but it doesn't show up at Bitpay. Do you have to wait for the Blocktrades transaction to conform before you draw against it?

did you send it to the Bitpay address from Electrum?

Yes. I opened up my Bitpay account went to add funds and then sent it to the address given. Go to chat if you have a minute- I'll give you my phone number and you can give me a call tomorrow if you would.
