A man named Walid Mustapha Chalhoub is on trial in a Quebec court for extortion, drugging and raping underage girls, pimping, and other offenses related to the “grooming” of teenagers. The alleged perp allegedly told a young girl that he would burn down her house and expose the video of her having sex to the world if she didn’t comply with his demands.

In other news, a car mysteriously exploded today on the M11 near Cambridge in England, creating a fireball and killing the driver of the car. RAF explosives experts were rushed to the scene, and the southbound lanes of the motorway were closed. Police say they are not ruling anything out.

Head of German Police Union: “Every Officer Knows That a Certain Political Expectation is Being Cultivated”

The following panel discussion from German television is evidence that the first cracks have begun to appear in the German political edifice, with the largest fissure opening between the police and the state. Other media reports have featured honest accounts by police officers involved in the Cologne Groping Jihad cases, but for obvious reasons none of them have been willing to go on the record about what is going on.

That’s not true of this clip The major players are Rainer Wendt, the head of the police union in Germany, and Hannelore Kraft, the leader of the Social Democratic Party and current Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia. In his interaction with Ms. Kraft, the union chief speaks with brutal clarity about the stifling PC regime that has been imposed on German police officers.

We’ve featured Mr. Wendt a number of times in the past few years as the “migration” crisis accelerated.

In the following exchange, pay attention to the politically incorrect responses of the studio audience — clapping and laughing at moments when they clearly are not supposed to. Either the TV producers didn’t hand-pick the attendees, or those good burghers have had enough and gone off-script.

So You Think You Know What Happened in Cologne?

JLH has translated and fisked an article by one of the Gutmenschen, a journalist originally from the DDR who now resides in the Czech Republic.

So You Think You Know What Happened in Cologne?
by JLH

Since you are reading this blog, you are probably a sour and angry person of limited mental capacity and distrustful of the more illustrious sources of news and opinion. Your thoughts, when you have any, rise directly from your viscera. What you need is exposure to an elite and enlightened view of the world, to help you unscramble your untidy reactions to what happened on New Year’s Eve in Cologne and other cities in Germany and beyond.

Good news! Here is just what you need, in the form of an introspective article by a cosmopolitan journalist. Born in East Germany, he lived there for the first ca. 45 years of his life. He studied journalism in Leipzig and joined East German radio, specializing in Eastern European politics and foreign affairs. In the 1990s, after the Wall came down, he moved to what was then Czechoslovakia, and is now the Czech Republic, where he still resides and writes for Die Sächsische Zeitung (Dresden), Die Welt (Berlin), a Czech news service and the German-language newspaper in Prague.

His article in Die Sächsische Zeitung will take you by the hand through the thoughts and feelings proper to this series of events. I will provide marginal remarks.

Am I a Racist?

Our correspondent in Prague is horrified by the events in Cologne. His opinion is that everyone has to assimilate in a foreign country — Everyone!

by Hans-Jörg Schmidt

The troubles in Cologne and elsewhere on New Year’s Eve recently impelled me to pour out my fury in a long comment on Facebook. I admit, not every word was chosen carefully. It was consistent: I had imagined how it would have been if women or girls from family or my friends’ or acquaintances’ families had been among the victims that night. I don’t believe I would have accepted that easily. Although naturally I see that vigilantism can belong at best in a plot for “Scene of the Crime.” And yet, my adult daughter could have been among those molested — even my two granddaughters. What a traumatic thought. You could blow your top. Fortunately only verbally.

In my rapidly written post, I became very agitated about the police in Cologne, who repeatedly failed to control the situation. When a policeman in a newspaper interview admitted he had been afraid, I thought, I’m in the wrong movie. How can it be that, in a country of laws, the police can tuck in their tails and look away when something goes completely haywire? Don’t misunderstand me. The police have many complex tasks to perform nowadays. That makes me think of the poor behavior of countless “soccer fans” on every weekend, wherever you are in Germany. None of that is any fun. I don’t envy the police their job. Nevertheless, they are the keepers of order on whom a citizen absolutely must rely.

Die Kanzlerin und ihre Koran

I hope I got that little bit of German right…

I made the following graphic this morning, for no particular reason:


(Click to enlarge)

I happened upon a good high-res photo of the Chancellorette against a near-uniform background, taken face-on with no foreshortening of the lectern in front of her. A shot like that is perfect for making composites against alternative backgrounds. Add to that the fact that she had one finger pointed skyward (or maybe Allahward) in the well-known tawhid gesture that serves as the gang-sign of the Islamic State.

So how could I resist?

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

Chancellor Merkel has surrendered her country and her people to the enemy. And not just any ordinary enemy, but a barbaric, backward, depraved, brutal enemy. An enemy that is as different from a German as a snail is from a horse.

It is as if Kaiser Wilhelm II, after firing Bismarck, had invited the armies of Czar Nicholas II to occupy the German Empire. And told the Russian soldiers to bring their wives and children along. And if they didn’t have any wives, why, they could just rape any German women they wanted without facing any consequences.

Oh, and then offered to pay all their expenses and provide them with a stipend of 500 Goldmarks per month.

It’s insane. It’s madness on a scale that can scarcely be comprehended. The fact that the German people haven’t staged an armed uprising against their treasonous state is a sign that the German people are also infected with this collective madness. As is the rest of the West — we are all afflicted with a bizarre mass insanity that has developed so gradually and is so pervasive that ninety-nine out of a hundred people can’t even detect it.

May God help us all.

Last night, after a LEGIDA walk and demonstration in Leipzig, a group of protesters broke off from the larger demo and attacked businesses owned by immigrants, including kebab shops. The mayor of Leipzig condemned the violence and promised that the perpetrators would be severely prosecuted.

In other news, two patrol boats of the U.S. Navy have been detained by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards in the Persian Gulf. Iran said that crewmembers from the vessels would be promptly released.

“Italy Doesn’t Want Them Any More” — But the Parish Priest Disagrees

Below is a video report about a recent culture-enriching incident in Italy. A Pakistani molested a 14-year-old girl in a neighborhood of Salerno. The angry locals tried to lynch the perpetrator, who holed up in the asylum center until the police arrived.

The parish priest, however, is more tolerant and inclusive about the “outsiders”. He hopes for better “integration”. He even believes that “by their presence they enrich us”.

“This is the Start of the Conflict Between Civilisations”

The following panel discussion took place last Saturday on Polish State TV. The topic was the recent Groping Jihad in Cologne and other German cities.

Green Infidel, who translated the program for subtitles, includes this introductory note:

The discussion was on Polish state TV’s TVP Info channel — in the “Po przecinku” (“After the comma”) program, shown on 9 January 2016.

The guests were Dr Magdalena El Ghamari, an expert on terrorism from Białystok University and Dr Ryszard Żółtaniecki, a sociologist and former diplomat.

Polish state TV has been the subject of some discussion recently. After the Polish elections last October, won by the right-wing, Eurosceptic “Law and Justice” party, the new government have proposed large changes to the state television broadcaster, which would see government ministers directly nominating TV chiefs. Previously, the board which nominated the heads of TV was largely composed of liberals, now in opposition. As a result of the proposals, there have been some protests by the opposition, also on the streets, by the “Committee for the Defence of Democracy”.

Pushback in Germany

The following news report from RT offers a better overview of the situation in Germany than can be found in other mass-media outlets. If you discount the Russian propaganda slant — which focuses on popular discontent and unrest in Europe, while labeling as “far right” any nationalist group that mobilizes to protest mass immigration — it provides a reasonable account of what has been happening in Germany since the Groping Jihad on New Year’s Eve.

This report also features clips (at 3:20 and 4:55) from an interview with Tommy Robinson, the former leader of the English Defence League and now one of the coordinators of the Europe-wide PEGIDA movement:

A “youth” attacked and wounded a Jewish man with a machete in southern France today. The 15-year-old Kurd shouted “Allahu Akhbar” when he carried out the attack, and said that he did it for the Islamic State. A spokesman for the Islamic community in France said that the incident had nothing to do with Islam, and expressed concern about a possible backlash against Muslims.

OK, so I made that last sentence up. But still…

In other news, a vigilante group attacked culture-enrichers in the area around the main train station in Cologne, seeking rough justice for the New Year’s Eve Groping Jihad and sending at least two migrants to the hospital. The Cologne police promise that the perpetrators will be prosecuted vigorously for causing bodily harm.

Steyn: The Difference Between England and Europe

It’s time we had a good laugh…even several of them.

This video is from 2013. But that’s Mark Steyn for you: his truths don’t stale-date. If you look at the comment section, you’ll notice that people are still coming in to respond. The latest one is dated yesterday.

Come to think of it, YouTube’s comment sections are the perfect place to be as free as you want with language. [Of course they will take down videos that violate some p.c. norm or other. I never have quite gotten the hang of YouTube’s rules.]

Provocateurs in Cologne, Part 3: Making an Example of PEGIDA

Below is a third report (previously: Part 1, Part 2) on the apparent police provocation that forced a premature shutdown of last Saturday’s PEGIDA demonstration in Cologne. It was published previously at Vlad Tepes in a slightly different form.

Here’s the video again. It was posted with Part 2, but is also referred to in this new account.

Below is the translated post from Facebook. Many thanks to Oz-Rita for the translation:

Here we have prepared a video recording which clearly shows that the police let the firecracker thrower, who in part provoked the collision between police and Pegida, escape through the barrier despite my request to hold him in order to check his identity.

The excuse from the police that they did not know is wrong, because shortly before the video started I had alerted them to his presence by shouting it out to them, loudly. When he realized that he had been recognized, he pulled out a green card in check card format, which means it was a police badge. Their assertion that he was from the press is therefore just a protective claim.

All the other videos have shown that the demonstration provided absolutely no reason to cancel it and pursue the citizens with batons, to beat us up with batons, to bomb us from behind with the water cannons while we were retreating and to injure the citizens with tear gas.

Provocateurs in Cologne, Part 2: “The Game is Played Under a False Flag”

As a follow-up to our earlier post, here is a first-hand account, accompanied by a video, of how the Cologne police allowed a suspected provocateur and firecracker-thrower to escape through their cordon.

Many thanks to Oz-Rita for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

Below is a first-hand account of the provocateur’s police-assisted escape, also translated by Oz-Rita. It was published earlier at Vlad Tepes in a slightly different form.

From sources here and here:

I have just come from Pegida Cologne. The police made us run an unbearable gauntlet.

The way the police behaved today, I have never experienced anything like it. I am completely speechless and still so angry that, even as an adult man, I feel like crying. I have never seen so much hatred as several policemen have thrown at us today.

One woman in our group tried to leave the demonstration because the police aimed the water canon into the crowd of the participants, moms and dads. A policeman hurled her back into the crowd by the arms with the words: “Your own fault, if you go to such a demonstration!”

Already when we arrived, the police pulled us to the side and COMMANDED us to show the contents of our pockets and bags.

A paper bag was ripped out of the hands of an acquaintance. No friendly word was spoken, not even a reasonable tone. It was then that I told people in our group I feared bad things would happen today. And I was right.

If the media everywhere now report that the mood was heated from the outset, I can only say that these are blatant lies. The place was so packed with people that it was a joy to behold. The speeches were super, the calls “Merkel must go, we are the people, Jäger must go” echoed across the square. It was a super atmosphere.

When the march was about to start, the police stopped it every few minutes. We were stopped every 100 meters. In between one firecracker exploded. ONE FIRECRACKER! ONE SINGLE ONE! After ten minutes, the march was stopped completely.

We stood on the same spot for about 20 minutes without anything happening. We just stood around. Shortly afterwards some more firecrackers exploded, no more than five or six, I guess, from memory.

Attention: mark well my next point: Only a few meters from us, a man threw something with his hand to the side. We did not see what it was. We only saw the movement of his arm to the left. I personally did not pay much attention to it, I probably thought of a fag (cigarette). Two seconds later there was a blast next to us so strong that I thought my body would be torn to pieces. I immediately looked at the man, he walked away. What a g*****n a*****e, I thought to myself, is this idiot completely sick in the head?

Provocateurs in Cologne, Part 1

Last Saturday’s PEGIDA demo in Cologne was broken up early by police using water cannons and tear gas, ostensibly because some of the demonstrators wore face masks (against the rules) and set off fireworks (against the rules). However, PEGIDA supporters were convinced at the time that the incidents prompting the shutdown were staged by provocateurs, and not any of the legitimate participants in the demo.

Since then evidence has surfaced supporting these assertions. The following material was originally posted at Vlad Tepes in a slightly different form. First, a note from Oz-Rita, who translated the brief article:

I just came across this article and video regarding last night’s PEGIDA demo in Cologne, which asserts that the demo was manipulated. I did a quick translation of their text, and you will also find the video there which they say is the proof that journalists provoked police with firecrackers that had been banned. I cannot see on the video, however, WHO ignited the firecrackers, but you might.

Now watch the video. I see a guy with a camera who is almost certainly the one who lit the firecracker and threw it. Watch him stroll across the frame from right to left, do something you can’t quite see, and then turn to take pictures of the effects of his action as the firecracker goes off:

The translated article from Press Censorship:

SENSATION: In the demo in Cologne on 01.09.2016 the police, after repeated notice, used tear gas and water cannons, as requests from the police to ignite no firecrackers were ignored!

The firecrackers were not fired by the demonstrators, but by a person with a press pass and a camera, so probably a journalist. Due to this action, police used tear gas and water cannons and the demonstration escalated and was disbanded later! Here in slow motion the proof: (Unmistakably “press people” who lit firecrackers).

There’s much more to come on this in Part 2. Stay tuned.
