Gates of Vienna News Feed 4/30/2014

A CSX train pulling tanker cars of crude oil derailed today in downtown Lynchburg, Virginia. At least three tankers were breached and caught fire, and burning oil flowed into the nearby James River. The city of Richmond, which lies downstream from Lynchburg and draws its drinking water from the James, is on alert over the incident. The Richmond area may be temporarily forced to use water from other sources.

In other news, Gerry Adams, the leader of Sinn Fein, was arrested today for his alleged part in the murder of a woman who was executed as a spy in 1972 by the IRA.

A Moral Duty to Join the Lawful Resistance

On April 26 we published a translation of Michael Mannheimer’s “Call to Collective Resistance”, which earned the author and activist a penal order from the German judicial system. Below is Mr. Mannheimer’s follow-up call, which was published last week on his website, as translated by Rembrandt Clancy. The translator also includes an introduction by Michael Stürzenberger.

Michael Mannheimer’s Second Call for Collective Resistance of the German People against the Planned Abolition of Germany

Introduction by Michael Stürzenberger

Original Source: Politically Incorrect (21 April 2014)

After his first call to resistance on 9 April 2011, which received much attention and brought him a penal order [Strafbefehl] for “incitement to hatred” [Volksverhetzung], Michael Mannheimer today published his second Call. He considers that we are in the midst of the third attack of Socialism against the citizens of Europe, and that we are at the same time in the middle of the third attack of Islam against “Fortress Europe”; both attacks being directly connected with each other.

Michael and I are both members of the “2012 Re-establishment of the White Rose [Weißen Rose] of 1942” [Gates of Vienna reported], and I now emphatically join with him in his Call. The resistance must immediately become clearly visible on the streets through large demonstrations, through critical contributions to discussions at events which collaborate with Islam, through effective counteractions at rallies of Islam-appeasing parties and organisations, as well as through the distribution of leaflets in the spirit of the White Rose…

The resistance of the German people must therefore in the first instance be directed against the Islamisation of our country and at the same time against those who eagerly aid and abet it. These are chiefly the anti-patriotic, German-hating Left-extremists, who in their 40-year “march through the institutions” have established themselves everywhere in our country: in parties, churches, “social” organisations, the judiciary, police, unions, and above all also in the media.

The problem is that for the Germans at the moment, everything is still going very well. The day before yesterday [19 April 2014, Bild.de] it was announced that two-thirds of all Germans had no worries about money. As long as the German Michel [ordinary German] can uninhibitedly shop in the shopping malls, the many aberrations in our country will not be apparent to him, and it is these that the mainstream media in its mass indoctrination makes every effort to conceal. Next to no one realises the insidious infiltration which is now massively accelerating through the wave of mainly Muslim asylum seekers. At the same time the German people undergo a veritable hammering in the media, telling us that we now have to be good people and must receive this Biblical stream of “refugees” among us. Note: Very many of these are followers of an ideology which is antagonistically disposed toward us. And only about 1.5% of asylum seekers are actually politically persecuted; the rest consist entirely of economic refugees who wish to have a go at our money troughs.

Here is Michael Mannheimer’s second call to resistance. Be active! No longer allow yourself to be stultified. Resist!

The Second Call for Collective Resistance of the German People against the Planned Abolition of Germany

By Michael Mannheimer

Original Source: Michael Mannheimer Blog (21 April 2014)

“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes a duty!” — Bertold Brecht (1898-1956)

If we Germans do not rise up now, we will perish as a nation and as a culture.

For a long time now we Germans have had every reason to rise up against injustices, lies and chaos brought about by a politics which, together with most of the media, has raised our abolition to a matter of top priority. Ever more frequently the law exists only on paper. Policy, politicians, judges and executives bend it almost daily. Whether it be re-unification; whether it be the abolition of the hardest currency in German history, the German mark; whether it be the handing over of constitutionally inalienable sovereign jurisdiction to the EU administration in Brussels, elected by no one; or whether it be multiculturalisation prescribed from above, which in truth is Islamisation and represents a cultural and freedom-diminishing impoverishment of Germany, in none of these cases were the people asked for their approval as is prescribed in the Basic Law; whereas in all of these cases, policy has violated the firm statutory foundations of our society, and politicians have broken their oath, according to which they have solemnly declared the following:

“I swear that I will dedicate my efforts to the well-being of the German people, promote their welfare, protect them from harm, uphold and defend the Basic Law and the laws of the Federation, perform my duties conscientiously, and do justice to all. So help me God.” [“Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany”, Article 56 (Oath of Office), Official Translation of the German Bundestag.]

Translator’s note: As context for the paragraph which follows, a rider is attached to the above quoted Article 56 of the Basic Law which states: “The oath may also be taken without religious affirmation.”]

This oath has degenerated into a mere payment of lip service without any moral and legal binding force. Federal Chancellor Schröder refused, for example, — without legal basis [ohne Rechtsgrundlage] — the concluding phrase “So help me God”; and the Greens and Left Party [Linkspartei] wish to eliminate the oath of office altogether, but particularly the formula “the well-being of the German people”. One wonders to which well-being and to which objective these politicians wish to devote their power.

Not since the dark period of 1933-45 have we West Germans been as lacking in freedom as we are today. The democracy in which we currently live has degenerated into an empty husk of a word. Power (Gk.: kratia) neither emanates from the people (Gk.: demos), nor does the media inform us truthfully and objectively about world events or about the quite flagrantly planned abolition of Germany. What has become undeniable over the course of time is this: the Left have been conspiring with the politicians and countless leftist groups (unions, antifa) against their own people.

We find ourselves in the middle of the era of the third attack of socialism against the citizens of Europe, and the contemporaneous, third attack of Islam against “Fortress Europe”. Both attacks are directly interrelated.

The first large attack of the Socialists against Germany occurred in the name of its national variant, National SOCIALISM. It was not only statements by prominent Nazis like Hitler or Goebbels which verify that the Nazis understood themselves as the genuine variant of the hated socialism of the Soviet type. Millions of KPD [Communist Party of Germany] and SPD [Social Democratic Party] voters were of the same opinion in 1933: they voted for the NSDAP [Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei] and thereby helped the Nazis to their ultimate political breakthrough.

As more and more historians view it, and as the world economist, Ludwig von Mises, demonstrated from the economic standpoint, the enmity between Hitler and Stalin was not simply a war between contrary ideologies, but had all the character of a civil war between similar ideologies, not unlike the subsequent mortal enmity which arose between the USSR and the China of Mao Zedong. The Nazis were in reality Left. That this has been concealed is probably one of the most successful historical distortions in modern times.

The second and more successful attack of the socialists against Germany occurred in the former DDR (German Democratic Republic, GDR) with the support of the Soviet Union. As we know today, both attempts by the socialists to turn Germany into a Communist state-form of everlasting duration failed in the end.

However, since 1968 the Left have made their famously infamous “March through the Institutions“ and have been spurred on by German reunification, which gave the West German Left millions of the best socialistically schooled DDR-citizens, brought to them a party structure seasoned over decades (SED-PDS-Left party); and above all, bestowed on them an unexpected financial injection of GDR-billions which has been “lost” until now. With all of this, the Left finds itself in an unexpected ascendancy and in a few years they have been so successful in carrying out their project for the final abolition of Germany, that our country is now endangered as never before in its glorious and also painful history.

My first call on the German People to Resistance of 9 April 2011

Against this renewed, ground level attack upon our people, I published on 9 April 2011 a first call to resistance, which found national and international attention. However, it brought a penal order (Strafbefehl) against me for “incitement to hatred” (Volksverhetzung). The plaintiff was an Imam in Düsseldorf, a fact which my enemies intentionally conceal. Until today, three years after my Call, no court date has been entered.

We Islam-critics are defamed by the media as “Islam haters”, “xenophobes”, “racists” or “the New Right”. Nothing is more untrue than these defamations. On the contrary, we stand in the Enlightenment tradition of Voltaire, Immanuel Kant, Thomas Hobbes or René Descartes. All of them understood by “Enlightenment” that the highest accomplishment of human reason is to liberate itself from erroneous patterns of thinking, ideologies or rationales. We Islam-critics refer to Kant’s famous definition of what constitutes Enlightenment:

Muslim Community of Knoxville — The Facts

Below is the latest newsletter from the Tennessee Council for Political Justice.

Muslim Community of Knoxville — The Facts (Part 1 of 2)

Until now, little has been written about the Knoxville Muslim community. Considering the Muslim Brotherhood ties and extremist associations of some Tennessee community leaders, no one should be surprised about what is being taught to Muslim students in the Knoxville Islamic school.

In 1984, Rafiq Mahdi helped establish the Annoor Mosque, also known as the Muslim Community of Knoxville Community (MCK). It works in “close cooperation” with the Annoor Academy Islamic school, the UT Knoxville Muslim Students Association (MSA) and the Islamic Education Foundation of Knoxville. Services listed include the “Roots (Muslim Youth of Knoxville)” program, “Convert Connection” and “Friday Sermon.”

Mahdi, (formerly known as William Henderson), is a black American convert to Islam who first joined the racist and anti-Semitic Nation of Islam. Later he left the NOI and completed his Islamic training in Saudi Arabia at the University of Medina, the same school where Memphis Imam Yasir Qadhi (who calls Christians spiritually filthy), was trained.

Before becoming the “unofficial Imam of the MCK,” Mahdi led the Masjid Al-Iman in Florida, after his colleague Raed Awad stepped down. This “small fundamentalist mosque,” gained national attention because it was the spiritual home of the “dirty bomber” Jose Padilla who had ties to al Qaeda and was convicted of planning a jihad attack in 2002.

Mahdi’s buddy Raed Awad, described as “an Islamic fundamentalist Palestinian” was also the registered agent in Florida for the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) during the time HLF was funneling money to Hamas, the military branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Awad was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF prosecution and identified as a member of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood.

In 2002, Mahdi helped fundraise for the KindHearts Foundation which was shut down under suspicion of raising money for Hamas.

Mahdi says…

Mahdi “envisions an Islamic empire, a place where, if you don’t follow Muslim rules, you are free — to leave the country….[he says], Islam is Islam, and it has been since it was revealed 1400 and some odd years ago, and it is not the right of any individual to take it upon themselves to change it based on their own rationale or want or desire. We want to keep it in the truest form.”

He claims that most Muslims do not see Hamas as a terrorist organization, and he would like to hear Osama Bin Laden’s “side of the story” because he’s not convinced he was behind 9/11.

Mahdi back in Knoxville

Mahdi returned to Knoxville in 2005. In 2010 he became Director of Community Development at ICNA Relief USA, the charity arm of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) named by the Muslim Brotherhood as a likeminded “organization[s] of our friends” in the 1991 Muslim Brotherhood Explanatory Memorandum plan for North America. ICNA is also closely linked to a Pakistani Islamist group.

The Only Good German…

It’s not so much that This Turkish writer wants Germans dead, it’s that he wants them no longer to be born. Blu-News has a few choice (and very politically incorrect) words to say in response. Many thanks to JLH for the translation:

The Only Good German is a Dead German

Good luck to the Germans in their auto-dematerialization

A Turkish journalist recommends extinction for Germans. Even good education does not protect form extremism. And how racism works against itself.

It has always been crystal clear to me — and anyone who is equipped with more than just a cerebellum — that Leftists are plain or garden-variety racists, just too cowardly to admit it. In addition, the base Left has succumbed to an incurable mental illness, which it paradoxically wears as proudly as a crown and displays on every occasion, as if it were the patent for the ultimate cure for cancer: racism against itself.

The preferred T-shirt for empty-headed, white, European Leftists, with the super creative motto “Good Night, White Pride,” has for a long time been the bestseller among the marginal idiocies, next to the faces of Che, Mao, Marx and the later adolescent sayings of the [punk rock group] Die Toten Hosen, naturally.

Leftover Khmer Rouge Mentality

Racism writ large in full blown Communist magazines is a reflection of the truth, but only when directed against whites, Europeans, white Americans, Israelis and above all naturally, Germans. And of course, this means real Germans and not those who — during the darkest time of our republic’s history, volume 2, the red-green regime phase — more or less had citizenship handed to them, regardless of how criminal, stupid or unemployed they were. In the most disgusting of all the garishly red pulp magazines, the favored piece-of-crap publications of all the leftover Khmer Rouge — or those who would have liked to be — all the talk is about “taz” (Tageszeitung, the-news-of-the-day). They never get tired of the same old thing — you could almost imagine they are buoyed up by “consciousness-expanding substances.” Those evil Germans, who, to be sure, make the best cars in the world, but then on vacation on the Côte d’Azur, reserve their beach chairs with a handkerchief — “damn Nazis”!

Deniz Yücel — journalist and editor at the publication mentioned above — is a little outside the legal and customary variety of racism, for he is not taking the measure of his own people, the Turks, but another — the Germans, in a commonly racist manner. He is just happy as hell that our folk is being destroyed by its infertility, and in his opinion, it serves us right, because a people that has created words like [each of the following is one word in German] “quitting time, congeniality, gummy bears, custodian, homesick, kindergarten, kitsch, culture war, cohabitant, sustainability, whistle-blower, regulatory agency, maverick, realpolitik, hit song, joker, profundity, last minute panic, coming to terms with the past, ethnic community, worldview, economic miracle, zwieback” should definitely disappear from the face of the earth.

One explanation could be an Inferiority Complex

Mr. Yücel doesn’t like Ossis either [former residents of the German Democratic Republic — East Germans] because they are not so quick as the Wessis [West Germans] to adapt to the idea that Murat, Mohammed and Bilal also want to be the uninhibited kings of disco-kickbox-I’ma-frick-your-family in the East. Mr. Yücel has trouble processing the fact that little oriental princes in Magdeburg, Leipzig and Rostock are more likely to get a well-deserved poke in the nose for unseemly behavior, and he is happy about the even lower birthrate among the potato-heads of Middle Germany.

Lies

MC’s latest essay discusses mendacity in the popular culture and politics of the 21st century, especially in the United States.

Lies
by MC

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” — John 8:44

I suppose the reality of today’s society is that just about everything is a lie. Scientists lie to gain grants and maintain ‘consensus Science’, the medical profession lies to maintain funding and freebies from Big Pharma, Churchmen lie, Rabbis lie, Imams are taught to lie. Governments lie and local authorities lie. Few are those who do not lie.

This is no different from history, except for that strange aberration that we call Judeo-Christianity. For the short time that Judeo Christianity held sway, lies became unacceptable, and the person caught out in a lie was punished.

Not so now.

Socialism is the opposite of Judeo-Christianity, it exists solely for the purpose of eradicating Judeo-Christianity from the planet; it fights Judeo-Christianity wherever it finds it, it fights against them until ‘bigotry’ is no more and Marx’s religion reigns supreme. … Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them (with apologies to Sura 9 verse 5).

For Judeo-Christianity, the end did not justify the means and each individual (subject to appropriate age and mental condition) was responsible for his/her own behaviour, and this lead to a society of prosperity for anybody with the will to put in a good days work for a fair wage.

Judaism and Christianity (and to a certain extent Atheism) are personal belief systems where ‘unbelief’ is not a threat to the individual. Not so with Socialism (and Islam; an ancient form of theistic socialism) where the whole of society must be forced to conform to the core fundamentals (which are not necessarily static), and are dictated by “the great and the good” of the society.

At times Christianity has been hijacked by Socialism (the Inquisition, social gospel, revolutionary theology to name but a few) but it has up until now been a temporary set of deviations.

Jamaat ul-Fuqra Lawfare: Case Dismissed

As reported here last month, the Muslims of America (a.k.a. Jamaat ul-Fuqra) sued Marty Mawyer and the Christian Action Network over Marty’s book Twilight in America . Marty had the temerity to investigate MOA and expose some of the details of their history and current activities in the United States, so the group unleashed its lawyers in an attempt to bankrupt CAN and put it out of business.

Now comes some good news: on Friday a federal judge dismissed the case against Marty, citing a lack of standing on the part of the Muslims of America. Here’s the report from The Washington Times:

N.Y. Muslim group’s libel lawsuit against Christian organization dismissed

ALBANY, N.Y. — A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit accusing a Christian organization of defaming a Muslim group in a book that alleged that the Muslim group conducted terrorist training.

Judge Thomas McAvoy says The Muslims of America, which incorporated last year, failed to prove it has the legal standing to sue.

He granted Christian Action Network’s motion to dismiss the suit filed last year but rejected its request for sanctions against the Muslim group for allegedly seeking $18 million in damages with no legitimate legal basis.

The suit had accused Christian network founder Martin Mawyer’s 2012 book “Twilight in America” of falsely portraying the Muslim group. The Muslim group says its communities in upstate New York and around the U.S. are peaceful.

Christian Action Network has prevailed, but their legal expenses up to this point have been substantial. Please consider contributing a few bucks at their defense fund page to help them recover their costs. Or you could buy a copy of Marty’s book — see the Amazon link on our sidebar.

Jamaat ul-Fuqra (“Community of the Impoverished”, also known as “Muslims of America”) was founded by a known terrorist, the Pakistani Sheikh Syed Mubarak Ali Hasmi Shah Gilani. Over the past thirty-five years it has established a network of dozens of rural training compounds across the United States and Canada. It recruits new members primarily through proselytizing in the prison system.
