Tatjana Festerling: “Germans are Prisoners in a Trap of Propriety”

In previous reports on the German Counterjihad we’ve featured Tatjana Festerling, a prominent PEGIDA leader. After making public remarks about the weakness and sedition of German political leaders before and after the Groping Jihad in Cologne, Ms. Festerling has joined the growing ranks of German dissidents who are being targeted by the state with legal action due to their activism in opposition to mass Muslim immigration.

The following report by Rembrandt Clancy includes a subtitled video clip and translated excerpts from the speech by Ms. Festerling at a LEGIDA rally in Leipzig on January 11, along with an analysis of the speech in its larger context.

Introduction
by Rembrandt Clancy

Frau Tatjana Festerling, one of the most visible members of the PEGIDA leadership team, delivered a speech in Leipzig on 11 January 2016. It concerned the recent sex-jihad in Cologne on New Year’s Eve. Below is a translation of the highlights of that speech, in the forefront of which lies not the events themselves, but rather their analysis.

Frau Festerling, whether conscious of it or not, might be said to be establishing the metapolitical foundation necessary for a successful counter-revolutionary party politics (cf. Thor von Waldstein: Metapolitics and Party Politics, Gates of Vienna). Metapolitics is the building of a shared civil and ‘cultural’ nexus in the body politic. Frau Festerling shows at least three characteristics for the establishment of such a metapolitical cultural hegemony: the courage to posit her own narrative, engagement in the battle for language, and the courage for provocation.

Frau Festerling hails from Hamburg. She is 51 years old with two grown children (Tatjanafesterling.de). Having been a member of the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) when it was under Bernd Lucke, she left the party amid controversy over her support for Hooligans against Salafists (HOGESA) in October of 2014. In June of 2015, Frau Festerling ran for the office of Chief Mayor (Oberbürgermeister) of Dresden under a PEGIDA ticket garnering nearly 10% of the vote, which was considered a respectable showing. She dropped out of the race after a first indecisive round.

Frau Festerling begins her speech by reminding her audience that the occasion is the anniversary her first LEGIDA speech, LEGIDA being the Leipzig offshoot of PEGIDA. It is also the first anniversary of LEGIDA itself. On that occasion there were 4,800 participants according to police reports. One year later the estimate ranges from 2,000 to 3,000 participants (Epoch Times’ Live-Ticker).

Tatjana Festerling Reported to Authorities for Incitement

Before getting to the full speech itself, we draw attention to a single sentence in Frau Festerling’s talk, which in a climate of free speech might have gone unremarked, but has provoked complaints to the prosecutor’s office in Leipzig:

Were the majority of citizens in full possession of their faculties, they would take up pitchforks and beat these traitors and demagogic, people-agitating elites from the parliaments, from the courts, from the churches and from the publishing houses.

This statement, although hypothetical and properly expressed in the subjunctive, nevertheless provided an opportunity for a Berlin-based organ of the mainstream press, the Federation of German Newspaper Publishers (BDYV), to lodge an official complaint. The BDYV is an umbrella organisation for German daily, Sunday and weekly newspapers. Here is the report of the situation as it appeared in the Sächsische Zeitung (12 January 2016):

The Federation of German Newspaper Publishers [BDYV] condemned the statements which the Pegida front woman, Tatjana Festerling, made at a Legida-demo on Monday evening in Leipzig. ‘In this case, it was clearly a question of incitement of the people [Volksverhetzung] and a call to violence’, declared BDZV chief executive officer, Dietmar Wolff. Wolff requested that the Saxon judicial authorities put a stop to the activities of the Pegida leadership.

The prosecutor’s office in Leipzig, according to a spokesman, is examining whether there is a reasonable suspicion of ‘incitement of the people’. Moreover, on account of Festerling’s speech, a complaint from a Berliner has been received. It pertains to an accusation of public incitement to criminal behaviour, added the spokesman.

The following lines constitute the immediate context of the offending sentence:

And to ask the question in a completely cynical way: this time it was MERELY a sex-terror attack; AS YET there were no dead bodies, but what is lacking for the Cologne Cathedral plaza to become a slaughter plaza?

To us one thing is clear: between the capitulation on our frontiers and the collapse of the constitutional order at the Cologne’s Hauptbahnhof there exists a direct connection.

And yet de Maizière stands up at the federal press conference and stammers: “We have not made any mistake”.

Were the majority of citizens in full possession of their faculties, they would take up pitchforks and beat these traitors and demagogic, people-agitating elites from the parliaments, from the courts, from the churches and from the publishing houses.

But this is not happening, because an unbearable, ideologically moralising propriety is being forced on Germans, a moral-terrorism, which causes the reticent Germans, who believe in humanism, to crouch in their homes out of fear of “being called right-wing”. Germans are prisoners in a trap of propriety, and for that reason, the majority of Germans remain at the window behind the curtains and hope that the chalice of slaughter might pass them by [emphasis added].

The following two-minute video is contains the above segment of the speech.

The highlights are presented in segments to allow for a brief establishment of background.

Following her introductory remarks Tatjana Festerling connects the sex-jihad of New Year’s Eve in Cologne with Chancellor Merkel, referring to her in a manner reminiscent of the affectionate appellations for Stalin: Uncle Joe or Papa Stalin:

New Year’s Eve will never again be the same. Hardly had Asylum-Mutti-Merkel delivered her New Year’s message to the German people when the first rockets flew toward the Cathedral and policemen. The unfettered mob grew to around 1,500 refugees… And these Muslim “refugees” then began a widespread terrorist attack on German women, — on white, blond women [emphasis added]

Do you know what an over 1,000-strong organised group is called? It is called a paramilitary terror group; and these terrorist cells are in the country by the thousands, distributed in a militarily tactical way in more than 10,000 asylum locations in Germany. And I have not included the Antifa in this calculation. And at the same time, these Muslim bands are declaring war on us, in Cologne, in Hamburg, in Berlin, in Stuttgart, in Bielefeld, in Helsinki, in Salzburg, and I am certain that this numeration is incomplete.

What appeared to be co-ordinated sexual attacks on women in these cities prompts Frau Festerling to mention a terrorist alert that had closed down two train stations in Munich on New Year’s Eve, the main train station and the one in Pasing. Officials attributed the closures to a planned suicide attack by men with connections to the Islamic State. But since the closures occurred at the same time as the New Year’s Eve sex-jihad in Cologne and several other cities, Frau Festerling is prompted to ask questions:

And in this connection, the question arises as to what was really behind the closing of the two train stations in Munich. Were they closed due to the danger of terrorism? Herr de Maizière [Federal Minister of the Interior], what kind of terrorist danger was in Munich? Was it, perhaps, that a mob was gathering there too, and to prevent a worsening situation the train stations were sealed up? What did the security authorities in Munich know that those in other cities did not know?

Frau Festerling now makes her first reference to an organisational potential among the stream of migrants:

Viktor Orbán had already warned us, when in September, an a very large, determined mob attacked the Hungarian border fence while responding to commands given in Arabic and English. That these invaders have long been organised with military precision is reflected in the fact that during their transport by rail, they pull the emergency brake somewhere between stations and leave the trains for the fields in the thousands. It is to be assumed, that they fix their location with the use of Google Maps and receive their signal to leave the train directly on their smart phones…

Frau Festerling predicts, in respect of the sex-attacks, that the organisational component will reveal itself over time, while the state abandons its social contract with its citizens:

… [U]nder no circumstances should we dismiss these attacks, these harbingers of a sex-jihad, as isolated incidents. No, there will be more. That was merely the starting signal. They have simply tested the limits. And what is the answer of the German constitutional state? The mayor of Cologne, the politician responsible for a city of a million inhabitants, gives women rules of behaviour for Carnival, along with the celebrated arm’s length rule. This bit of advice is to the highest degree disgusting, arrogant, ignorant and misogynous. It mocks the victims, and it shows capitulation to highly untrammelled violence and a submission to Islam…

… The state is no longer in a position to provide security for its citizens. It is not even willing to change that… Germans are only good as worker bees, for generating revenue for the politicians to pump hand over fist into the asylum industry [tumultuous applause]. Beyond that, the German citizen is expected to kindly keep his mouth shut. Politicians and the press declare German citizens to be quasi-outlaws and are at the mercy of the unfettered mob of Muslim invaders. The barbarians have no consequences to fear from the state.

This is the point where the sentence which prompted the complaint to the Leipzig prosecutor occurs (translated above). We continue Frau Festerling’s speech from that point:

The Herrenmenschen in politics, in the media, in the unions, in the violent black blocs on the streets and the silent, cowardly masses have created the mental climate in which it is possible to humiliate, degrade and rape women in a mass attack. And the Lügenpresse, as accomplices to the politicians, try to hide what is monstrous, even though the foreign media reports that this sex attack was planned and organised. … And then the German media employ the usual methods: … deception, tricks, trivialising, relativisation and turning meaning on its head: yes, they even tried to declare the perpetrators as victims and attempted to deride the victims. Out of all barrels, the government fired upon us with their propaganda. …

… And look at the parallels. The media are using a procedure practised in Islam, taqiyya, the obfuscation of the hushed up lie. And what we experienced on New Year’s Eve is exactly what unfolded in the summer of 2014 in Tahrir square in Egypt. And the German press, in outrage, reported on that at the time. No, the dominant theme of the politicians, the press and the usual representatives of the Muslim organisations was (and is) to warn that the terror attack of the unfettered Afro-Arabian sex-mob could play into our hands and the hands of PEGIDA and the AfD, that is to say, into the hands of the right-wing populists who are allegedly so dangerous. And it is that which must seep into the brain. It is not the sexual degradation of women by the mob of Muslim men which is the problem for the politicians. No. We are the problem, our possible reactions to violent excesses.

In this situation reality is distorted. No clear thinking citizen in Germany requires the international media, or PEGIDA, or the AfD in order to understand, to sense, and to experience how, in Germany, policy is turned against the majority, and meaning of the facts is upended to reflect what is the very opposite. And that makes people furious…

The speaker now follows up with an analysis of one of the “killer phrases of political correctness”, the prohibition against directing “general suspicion” against a whole population, namely, not all Muslim migrants are perpetrators, therefore one is not to notice that all the perpetrators were Muslim migrants. She establishes her own narrative.

… Merkel, de Maizière, Gabriel and Gröhe want no general suspicion against refugees and asylum applicants. But we have never expressed that here. On the contrary, we have always spoken for the acceptance of persecuted Christians from the Arabian war zones. But a general suspicion of politicians is slowly on the increase.

“General suspicion”: that is one of these killer phrases of political correctness. There is nothing condemnable about a factually-based general suspicion. On the contrary, it is an indicator of intelligence. Only if we have a suspicion at all, and harbour it, can we prepare and protect ourselves. And naturally we stand by the suspicion that hordes of young Muslim men, who come fresh out of the archaic, brutalising sharia culture in the Near East, and having just burned down tents in Slovenia in order to extort their way to Germany, will continue to live here according to the same principles. And that is a legitimate general suspicion.

It is interesting to compare what Baron Bodissey wrote on 8 January with what Tatjana Festerling said on 11 January. In his post, “The Larger Motive Behind the Groping Jihad”. Baron Bodissey writes:

Silvester night was a probe. Islam targeted the enemy’s most vulnerable and valuable property: its young women. The nature of the enemy’s response will inform the subsequent actions of the invading organism.

Based on the weak and vacillating response of the German authorities, we can expect another attack relatively soon from the muhajirun, the new migrants who have made hijra to Europe.

The next action will be stronger and more audacious. The jihad will take into account what it has learned from the feckless response in Cologne and elsewhere, and act accordingly.

Islam understands something that we Westerners seem to have forgotten: A society that refuses to defend its women will defend nothing [emphasis original].

Frau Festerling:

… New Year’s Eve was a test, an initial paradigmatic play, a general rehearsal. How well are we functioning at the organisational level? How is the state reacting? How are the public reacting? What consequences will follow?… Because of the publicity, ever more women are feeling the courage to file a complaint… Then there is the converse. The attack worked — with no consequences… What actually happened here? When one degrades, humiliates and disgraces women, by the fact alone that one does it to women, one degrades, humiliates and disgraces above all the men who did not manage to defend their women, and thereby one disgraces the entire society.

At this point Frau Festerling mentions the doorman, Ivan Jurcevic (44), who was on duty on New Year’s Eve in front of the “Excelsior Ernst”, a five-star hotel near the main train station. After the native Croatian gave a video interview describing how he had protected some women from “people that we welcomed just 3 months ago, with teddy bears and water bottles at the Hauptbahnhof in Munich”, Henning Matthlesen, the director of the hotel, said: “I distance myself and my team from xenophobic statements which are currently circulating on the Internet from a member of the external security firm.” (Kölner Stadt Anzeiger)

What a repugnant gesture of submission! Ever lengthier is the list of politicians, journalists and personnel managers, to whom one wishes a good and proper fickie fickie experience.

Now the speaker turns the manipulative function of certain political slogans, specifically the neo-Communist or totalitarian aim of forming a “consensus”, of collectivising the population by bypassing reason and breaking down boundaries. The example is Frau Merkel’s “Wir schaffen das“:

When was the last time we actually heard a truly political statement from one of our leading politicians currently in office? And I am not even speaking of a clever statement. “We can do it!” is not a political statement. It is a hollow phrase, which is supposed to spin into existence a social consensus for a completely unsound, law-breaking decision which has been taken in complete isolation. It is a statement which is supposed to make us all collectively liable, together with our neighbouring countries in the EU. Frau Merkel: your demand for an EU allocation mechanism, ha ha; an EU-quota, — once again, ha ha. The neighbouring countries are completely correct. Nay nay, Frau Merkel, keep your rapists to yourself. It was you who invited this mob to Germany. … And for us that is as bitter as it is true.

Frau Merkel, you know where you can stick your “We can do it” slogans! Frau Merkel, you cannot even secure a train station forecourt. And you, Frau Merkel, it is you who is breaking the law on an ongoing basis. Even worse, you are constraining others to break the law and to commit criminal offences.

In following two sentences, Frau Festerling is alluding to an attack Frau Merkel made on the PEGIDA leadership in her New Year’s Address of 31 December 2014: “I say to all those who go to such demonstrations: do not follow those who have called the rallies because all too often they have prejudice, coldness, even hatred in their hearts” (RT):

And we must call upon our neighbouring nations: do not follow the German politicians! They have coldness in their hearts, and even hatred…

The speaker draws attention to the implications of Islamic migration for Germany as an organised criminal state:

Instead of relentlessly exhausting all the means available to the constitutional state, the elites here in the middle of Europe are creating out of Germany a country with authorized, controlled criminality. They are all criminals. And one European country after another will (and must) close their borders to Germany. They have to protect themselves from the terrorist breeding ground of Germany. And the dream of many European patriots of a Fortress Europe, that is, the protection of our external frontiers, recedes for us Germans far into the distance, because inside Europe people must defend themselves against Germany’s open borders.

In her closing remarks, Frau Festerling suggests that Merkel has become isolated. The last sentence is a play on one of the Chancellor’s well-known slogan that functions to shut down thought alternatives:

… And even our American friends are dropping Merkel. The American Bilder are looking in bewilderment at Germany and, Frau Merkel, at your Germany-snuff-policy; and you are becoming anxious, for also — also the Americans are putting up a fight against the Obama-inspired invasion of Muslims. This law-breaking (partially inaudible) has changed everything, in Germany and in Europe. And we already said it earlier: the fish stinks always from the head down. (inaudible)… Merkel’s formula, “We can do it!” has led completely ad absurdum. Merkel has failed completely. Merkel’s resignation is alternativlos!

  1. I’ve always liked the aphorism regarding how a fish rots. That is why fishermen cut off the head, so as to keep the meat fresh.

    Are states similar? The brain rot starts with those in charge? Certainly appears to be the case.

    Can you think of a Western leader (omitting Eastern Europe) who actually leads??

    • “Can you think of a Western leader (omitting Eastern Europe) who actually leads??”

      No.

    • Germany seems to be an example of “Anarcho-Tyranny right now. Very sad. May God bless and protect the German people.

      • Ref to Tet take two article by Matt Bracken: When the cold winter sets in, the invaders will push their way into houses for warmth and shelter. Pushing the inhabitants out, I say: very doubtful police will act or do anything. Anyone know if this has happened yet? I’m assuming it is starting to happen or will soon. Europeans are lacking their mental faculties for sure, with very few exceptions. The few opposing this invasion aren’t enough to make impact or change anything.

  2. Thank you, “Rembrandt Clancy”, good job. I don’t really see the point of opening up oneself to a criminal charge, as she must have known would happen with that line about pitchforks. Unless it’s to raise her profile as a “martyr” to political correctness when she is put on trial. It seems to work for Marine Le Pen, but I am skeptical that it will work for Festerling.

    • Using the subjunctive in German doesn’t really have a parallel in current American language. Our subjunctive has disappeared gradually over my adult life, now residing primarily in the courts of law.

      Briefly: subjunctive says If Something WERE to happen, then…other things MIGHT happen (“Were I to win the Lotto, I would give a lot of money to X”). Which is Frau F’s entire point. Rhetorically, she is blameless.

      However, the Press and Politicos are looking for trigger words, and her text can be interpreted to include trigger words. Thus the hot water. 🙁

      • Please. I am the last person here you want to “educate” on finer points of German grammar.

        No, use of the subjunctive mood (more specifically in this case: use of Konjunktiv II) is not a “get out of jail free” card. Freedom of speech is more circumscribed in Europe than in the U.S. (though even there can be found troubling exceptions, witness the lawfare waged by Penn State professor Mike Mann against Mark Steyn). In addition, German judges have more leeway to interpret evidence to their liking. It’s called freie Beweiswürdigung (freedom to weigh — or even disregard — evidence as plausible, or not).

        So, if a German judge considers Festerling’s statement as incitement then she is looking at a fine north of 1000 euros. By the way, even in the U.S. the legal system might take a dim view of a mafia goon who pays a visit to a restaurant owner, telling her “nice joint you have there, be a shame were something to happen”.

        • You might be the very person to help me with a question: what was the news case in the late ’60s/early ’70s which ended up *requiring* Sub I/Sub II in reportage?

          My college German advisor said that use of the subjunctive/conditional had been diminishing until a reporter wrote indirect speech in the indicative. The arresting authorities said that this was *evidence* of the reporter’s pre-/post-knowledge of the crime he reported. (I think it was the use of “ist” vs. “sei.”)

          I don’t write (necessarily) to “correct” an original commenter. 🙂 I often wish to expand the original comment for Americans who may not “get” the linguistic point(s) involved (e.g., Gavin Boby addressing PEGIDA as Ihr vs. Sie).

          And it is quite sad (and wrong…) that there seems to be no legal protection for Fr. Festerling’s statements, which are as true as the day is long.

          Danke schön for your expansion of *my* comment. The liberties I take with other commenters’ statements, I expect others to take with mine (e.g., expansion, opposition, what-not).

          Alles gute. (all the best…)

          • Afraid I’m going to have to disappoint you, I have never heard of such an incident. It sounds crazy and made-up to me. Now, even crazy things have been known to happen. But I think I would have heard about it if so.

            [redacted]

            I will also have to disagree with you about what Festerling said (“pitchforks”) being true. A well-known legal principle in libel law is that “truth is an absolute defense”, i.e., while someone may correctly complain that you defamed him or her by publishing derogatory information, you are immune from prosecution or civil action if what you published was true. I suppose this principle could be extended to cases of (alleged) incitement, but claiming that a sane populace would run pols out of office with pitchforks held high is not what I would call “true”; it is opinion and possibly not only opinion. As mere opinion, it ought to be protected by free-speech guarantees in the constitution and Festerling should be safe. But as a thinly-disguised call to action (if that is how a judge interprets it — we’re not there yet), she risks a fine (as a first-time offender) and successively harsher punishments (if she persists).

            I am not a lawyer so take what I say about the potential legal consequences for Festerling with a few grains of salt. However, I think that most non-lawyer Germans would agree with me that she was courting trouble when she said that.

            Best wishes to you, too.

          • I don’t know whether the connotation of “pitchforks” is the same in German as in English, but as the term is used by political commentators in America like Patrick Buchanan, “peasants with pitchforks” is a *cinematic* reference, referring to villagers storming Schloss Frankenstein with torches (actually not pitchforks, but “peasants with pitchforks” is more alliterative). See this clip from the 1931 movie (skip to 1:00):
            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLvGnro4Cgw

            That is, “peasants with pitchforks” is a metaphor for any popular uprising.

  3. Brave lady! Two senior constitutional judges have clearly stated that Frau Merkel ILLEGALLY declared Germany’s borders open to the third word influx (& as de facto “Emperess” of the EU the rest of Europe’s too). Also she was responsible for the financial crucifixion of Greece earlier. Yet she is still strutting the world stage spewing her usual platitudes “we can do it etc”, having time for ” selfies” with so called refugees but no time to meet the victims of the mass sexual attacks on New Years Eve! Why has she not been impeached and imprisoned? Can you wonder that ordinary citizens thoughts might just be ” our politicians are corrupt and cannot protect us, the forces of law and order have given up, our medical facilities cannot cope with diseases (long eradicated prior to the third word influx) newly prevalent, women can no longer walk the streets or use public transport in safety & our taxes will rise to pay for those who have paid NOTHING into the system” Revolutions have been caused over far less.

    • Paying nothing into the system; we work all our lives and will receive the same national pension that an immigrant who arrived the day before their pension age would receive.

  4. Thank you for the text of this important speech. I am puzzled by a few points in the last paragraph:
    “The American Bilder are looking in bewilderment at Germany … Merkel’s resignation is alternativlos!” This is heard beginning at 11:28 in
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt0VsjEXvY0
    What does “Bilder” mean here? American photojournalism magazines which in German would have a title like “Bild”? Or maybe a reference to the real-estate “builder” Donald Trump and his colleagues? And is “alternativlos” (= there is no alternative but for Merkel to resign) a pun on Alternativ fuer Deutschland?

    • “Bilder” is the irregular plural for “das Bild”, its basic meanings being rendered as “picture”, “photo” or “image” (also in the sense of “metaphor”). These renderings would of course be meaningless here. Hence you use the term “photojournalism”, which brings us to the German tabloid-style newspaper “Bild”. Here is a typical example, but it is the UK “Metro”: http://metro.co.uk/2016/01/13/horrific-details-of-cologne-migrant-sex-attacks-emerge-5619548/

      As for “Alternativlos”, this is just a German cognate to “alternative-(less)”. It refers to Chancellor Merkel’s now well known expression “There is no alternative”, which she has used repeatedly in respect of the euro common currency. Tatjana Festerling is playing on that.

      • Thanks for the “alternativlos” explanation. Understood.

        But I still don’t understand the use of “Bilder”, even as a plural of “picture”. Let’s look at the original sentence: “die amerkanischen Bilder schauen fassungslos auf Deutschland”. Could you paraphrase this, please? Does it mean “The American tabloids are looking at Germany in bewilderment”?
        You link to http://metro.co.uk/2016/01/13/horrific-details-of-cologne-migrant-sex-attacks-emerge-5619548/ as an example of a British tabloid, but I notice toward the bottom the headline “There’s a vacancy for your dream job: Lego is hiring model builders”. Is this a clever reference to Bilder, or just a weird synchronicity?

  5. Thanks for publishing these excerpts from a brilliant speech by a very eloquent and brave woman.

    • Hear hear, I couldn’t agree more, James. It is absolutely wonderful. She is expressing the way I feel exactly, only the difference is that I can only feel, and she has the gift to put it into words. Angela Merkel should read this speech, but unfortunately, I don’t think that it would resonate with her because her mind set (and those of her cronies) is fixed, and, I regret to say, they are the ones with the power to change the awful situation in Germany.

  6. I still think the first battle in the ongoing fight will be “the people” vs. “the po-lice” (in order for them to GET TO the enemy), BUT yesterday’s video gave a glimmer of hope.
    The Politzei seemed to be protecting the protestors from a sparse bunch of well-motivated (financed?) attackers.
    Maybe, just maybe, the cops are figuring out that when push comes to shove THEY TOO are ‘the people’, and some of them might even have blond daughters.

    Well I can hope, can’t I? Otherwise–lock and load, boys and girls.

    • In the early stages the police will only act as far as their paychecks allow them to. Soon enough the police will feel caught between a public under siege by “migrants” and the protected elites and opinion makers. Over time, the police and similar agencies will side with the public. Better hurry. The first enemy of the people is ultimately and always those who govern them.

      • Good point about the paycheck.
        Expect a BIG wake up call when the so-called money on that check is going down the drain.
        Which it currently IS, and WORLD-WIDE at that.
        ALL the monies.

        Of course not on the MSM hoe-networks. But hardly anybody left who believes a word on there, even from the “older ones”.
        Right? 😉

    • Police have the same concerns as the rest of us normal people. They, like us, do not live in cloud cuckoo land or an ivory tower. They are there dealing with the worst of situations day in and day out. They see first hand what is going on. Which is why, although infrequent their complicity in politically activity is so wrong.

  7. Neighboring countries closing the borders to Germany is pointless, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden and the UK are in even worse shape than Germany, and have been for much longer.
    Colonial Guilt© must be even worse than Nazi Guilt™.
    Why the Scandinavians are also insane remains a little bit of a mystery.
    I like her pitchfork analogy, I’m afraid that’s probably what it’s going to take to get rid of this bunch of traitors.
    Unfortunately, Germans are not the revolutionary type, which also means things would have to completely careen out of control for German police and military to side with anyone other than the government.
    I haven’t looked into his background very much ,but Herr de Maizière looks evil to me, he’d make an excellent sadistic movie villain.

    • ‘Germans are not the revolutionary type.’ Most people aren’t. Look at the Germans under Hitler. Look at the French under Vichy. Churchill had to drag the British into war. Americans had to be provoked by Pearl Harbor, years after Hitler was ransacking Europe.

      It’s hardly surprising. Most people want a quiet life and feel powerless to change events – which they are, unless they’re united, which is why leaders like her are important.

      • Many Germans were very revolutionary, before and during Hitler. About as revolutionary as a people can get. 1848 provided a glimpse. The seeds of the French Revolution had a terrible harvest, not only in France but all over Europe, where peoples east and west began taking radical, modern ideas more seriously; ideologies that today stretch across what are called “Left” and “Right.” This includes the obvious examples of Spain, Italy, Germany, Russia, much of eastern Europe…. The intelligentsia in these places were able to rally huge masses to their causes, sometimes by telling lies, and sometimes not.

        Islam, while it is a serious danger today, is far from the largest. The globalist projects are much more harmful, by destroying nations and economies, using underclasses as weapons, and creating a new form of totalitarianism. Their danger is also compounded by how so many people today are in thrall to Bread and Circuses.

        And it’s a shame that Britain got dragged into WWII. WWI fatally wounded the Empire, and WWII finished it off. Neville Chamberlain and other voices of caution were absolutely right to not jump into Europe with guns blazing, until they had to live up to their commitments in ’39. And Americans were very sensible in trying to stay out of WWII. There were wise to avoid “entangling alliances,” until Pearl Harbor forced their hand. Today, we’re deeply entangled in extremely harmful links, with the EU and NATO, and in the Middle East. Charles Lindbergh was right about more than aviation matters.

  8. I think there is also room for another kind of campaign to help undermine the ‘moral terrorism of PC’ perpetrated by the present ‘axis of evil’ between the political elites and the Muslims. And that is a campaign calling for DISCUSSION between Muslims and the West. If the media were doing their job, there would be many forums where this ought to be happening on a daily basis.

    The purpose would be to examine the differences in Muslim values and those of the West. Muslims would be welcome to explain their ideas of the perfect society and we can do likewise and then examine what both systems have to say about the value of human life, personal freedom and the dignity of the individual.

    This would also put the political elites on notice that they are supporting an ideology which, in the end, will also give them no quarter. Look at how Muslims still hate Obama even though he bends over backwards to promote their (his) cause! In other words, Muslims only USE infidels, but do not restrain from killing them when their use is no longer required.

    But more importantly, it would help the West feel morally justified in hating the VALUES of Islam, not the Muslims themselves. Muslims can’t help being born into a ‘religion’ of excrement and being brain-washed from birth, so we don’t have to despise the people, but abhor their stubborn adherence to beliefs which turn society (including their own) into Hell on Earth.

    Of course once they begin to threaten, rape and decapitate, there can be no doubt that the perpetrators must be slaughtered immediately, but the MORAL TERRORISM which is paralyzing Western people as they hide behind their curtains, would be destroyed by the separation of the Muslim from his ‘religion.’

    From personal experience of having such ‘civil’ discussions with (educated) Muslims, in the end we could agree on a sympathy towards each other as human beings, but there was no doubt that we were also ‘enemies’ and in a different situation, would seek to kill each other. That is what ‘loving one’s enemy’ is, so one feels absolutely no moral guilt for criticizing Islam while acting warmly within a human interaction, for as long as aggression is absent. It has the added benefit that, with intelligent Muslims, you can see that they struggle to justify their beliefs and a chink of doubt opens. (In fact, many Muslims are leaving Islam and converting to Christianity.)

    The wider problem is that we are all stuck on this planet and we can’t turn the globalization of the world economy backwards! Eventually we are all going to have to get along somehow, but that will only be when Third World nations are educated in the absolutely superior values of democracy, the rule of law and human rights. It’s a travesty that our own political elites are not leading the way in this, but doing the opposite – trying to enslave their own citizens whilst giving a free pass to the most barbaric cultures ever to pollute the earth!

    • A clash of civilizations. A civilized culture vs. a savage culture. The savage doesn’t care about how he looks while going about his business. The civilized do seem to care how they look refusing to defend their business. An odd sort of virtue it seems….virtuous groveling.

      • Many people who agree with you that Islam is a savage culture would not agree that the shreds and shards of our western culture is ‘civilized’ anymore. However your summation about our caring how we LOOK to others is apt.

        • That’s probably true. What will prove to be worth defending is that which is most primal…the protection of our women. When that is the tipping point, all appearances go out the window. The savage will be met with savagery. I’m not above it even in my 60s.

          • The Baron agrees with you. Beyond whether individual women “deserve” protection is the reality of our hard-wiring.

            Our problem is the extremists of the leftist fems (who have so badly damaged the younger generation). They’ve produced vast waves of toxic mind-waste and the younger generations of women lap it up like Kool-Aid. How individual men are going to be able to move past the putrefaction in order to assume their place in the natural order of things is a conundrum I can’t see past.

          • I’m in my 60s, too, and will be happy to stand by you handing you ammunition/extra weaponry. My aim is terrible, but I’m an amazing support crew member.

            NOBODY gets my nieces, dammit.

          • Once again: One really major problem would be women who don’t want to be defended and will actually attack their defenders, verbally and perhaps even physically.

    • Muslims don’t have values, they have commands and orders and must submit. They are slaves to a 1,400 year old organized crime syndicate. You either 1) fight and kill them, 2) Isolate them totally or 3) become slaves yourself.

    • @ DiMu: This would perhaps work IF Islam didn’t also have doctrines like taqiyya available to it. Absolutely *nothing* stated by a Muslim in a public forum aimed at kuffars (us, non-believers in Islam) can be taken as true, at its face value.

      Taqiyya allows Muslims to lie, misrepresent, selectively represent, wiggle, etc., out of direct statements when speaking to non-Muslims. They will happily lie all day long about Islam, and the public–used to the Western tradition of being able to believe (mostly) what public figures say until proven otherwise–will just eat it up, become ever more ready for the coming onslaught.

      There’s one of these “public discussions” scheduled in Castro Valley, CA, next Saturday (30 January 2016) at 1:00 or so in the afternoon. Our friends CAIR and their affiliates are coordinating it. Naturally.

      Why Castro Valley??? one might wonder. Approx. six weeks ago, a white (Anglo) woman at an East Bay Regional Park (ebparks.org)–I think Lake Chabot–came upon a group of Muslim men praying on the trail where she was walking. She verbally accosted them for praying on public land and said other things with which many of us would probably agree.

      Then she went one step too far (for me, and in the eyes of the law): she tossed her hot coffee ON THEM.

      This has been quite a cause celebre in the S.F. Bay Area. I’ve been quite ill all month (injuries + actual illness) and seriously doubt that I’ll be able to attend, but I would probably just use my 2 or 3 minutes of public speaking time being shouted down. (And I wear a head scarf! not hijab of course.) I look short, dumpy, and slow, but I’ve always been able to marshall my words when I need them.

      I give this information so that others here may understand the danger of accepting at their word Muslim representatives, and I have a faint hope that someone from “our” side may be able to attend the Castro Valley meeting (http://www.contracostatimes.com/breaking-news/ci_29404761/castro-valley-forum-address-anti-muslim-sentiment).

  9. Not only is she eloquent and brave, but quite attractive. (See Google images) True beauty does not require youth.
    I am looking forward to the first time a “Cultural Enricher” tries that kind of thing here and gets a blast of lead and hot smoke in his perplexed face from a lady who packs.

      • Not many “civilized” places left on earth where a woman is allowed a concealed carry permit.
        US would be my guess, though even there it´s not in all states.

      • Here = most states in the USA. Note that gun sales are increasing at an ever increasing rate, and more and more of those are being acquired by women. I would like to see more women in short shorts and halter tops dealing with the newly arrived savages with lethal force whenever appropriate.

  10. Good speech, she made an error though.
    The Croat bouncer that saved many German women that night wasn´t fired by the hotel.
    That was a false, shoddy researched media announcement.
    Denied not only by the hotel but the “bouncer” himself, who actually runs his own private security firm.

    Hope she´ll be more thorough in the future.
    The Bolshevik traitor vultures in media and everywhere else just love to blow little errors like this out of proportion. So they can engage in endless straw-man arguments and ruthless character assassination.
