The Mosque of Amontillado

Posted on by

Last week, during the dead of night, someone — possibly heterosexual white-skinned patriarchal racist xenophobic neo-Nazis — bricked up the entrance to a mosque in Germany.

Many thanks to Nash Montana for these two brief translations. First, from Politically Incorrect:

Mosque entrance cemented shut in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Last week on Thursday night unknown persons cemented shut the entrance to a mosque in Parchim (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). They attached Erdogan’s quote, “The mosques are our barracks, the minarets our bayonets, the domes our helmets and the believers our soldiers,” as well as the quote: “You call yourselves ‘believers’ — we call you invaders.” The police report from August 28th speaks of “xenophobic slogans”.

The police report:

Property damage to mosque in Parchim

Rostock — On the night of August 25th, a mosque that is used as a community house in Parchim Westring was damaged. Using aerated concrete, unknown persons cemented the entrance shut of a building that was at the time under construction. Furthermore they left flyers stuck to the meter-high wall on which xenophobic slogans were printed. The criminal police are investigating.

A big thank-you to Vlad Tepes for the title of this post.

Gates of Vienna News Feed 8/28/2016

Posted on by

A man carrying a knife and shouting “Allahu Akhbar” went on a rampage at a music festival in Germany, attacking a married couple and gravely wounding the wife. The husband, despite his injuries, managed to fend off the attacker until he was arrested by police. The motive for the man’s rampage remains unknown.

In other news, a would-be suicide bomber failed in his mission to blow up a church in Indonesia during Sunday services. The bomb flamed, but did not explode. The attacker was also carrying an ax, which he swung at the priest, injuring him slightly in the hand. Parishioners subdued the suspect until police arrived. The motive for the attack remains unknown, although the attacker was reportedly carrying objects bearing the logo of the Islamic State.

A BAMF Employee Tells of Her Daily Life in Asylum Hell

Posted on by

The German acronym BAMF is short for Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees. It is the agency responsible for processing the asylum applications of the millions of “refugees” that are now pouring into Germany. It also handles the housing and maintenance for the migrants while they wait for their asylum cases to be processed, which can take years.

The following video features the reading of the words of an unidentified female BAMF employee as she describes the horrors and frustrations associated with her job. Notice that despite her extensive experience with the downside of cultural enrichment, despite her hard-bitten cynicism and realistic assessment of what is happening, she still expresses dismay that the right wing might gain political traction from the migration crisis.

Britain’s Anti-Democratic Electoral Commission

Posted on by

As Paul Weston and Liberty GB recently learned, the British people are not allowed to determine for themselves what is offensive and what isn’t. That job is left to the Electoral Commission, which cleanses ballot papers of offensive words before any voters can see them and be psychologically damaged by them.

The letter from the Electoral Commission described in Mr. Weston’s essay may be downloaded here (in PDF format).

Britain’s Anti-Democratic Electoral Commission

by Paul Weston

The slow slide into national suicide continues apace in Britain. One particular example of Left lunacy this week applies to my party Liberty GB, which has just been torpedoed amidships by a certifiably demented harpy called Jenny Watson. Unfortunately for us, Ms Watson is without the asylum and within the community — in point of fact, she is ‘chairperson’ for the Electoral Commission and is therefore taken seriously by the powers that be, rather than carted off pronto for a nice soothing injection.

Ms Watson’s Electoral Commission wrote to Liberty GB a couple of days ago in order to make sure we fully understood what rabid, revolting haters we were. The letter [pdf] informed us that since the murder of Batley and Spen MP Jo Cox, politics must now become an altogether kinder and gentler entity, which we were clearly in breach of, courtesy of Liberty GB’s hateful and divisive party description — which was supposed to be on the ballot papers in the upcoming by-election.

Would you like to know what the description said? In terms of bigotry, xenophobia, irrational hatreds, incitement to mass murder or even racial/religious Armageddon it seems quite mild to me, but then again I am a self-confessed racist and baby eater. Anyway, all it said was this:

Liberty GB: Promoting Western Civilisation, British Culture and Free Speech.

Ms Watson’s Electoral Commission considers this description to be “offensive” and it must be removed from the ballot papers. In Britain! In the very cradle of Western civilisation! I’m not really sure what to say about this, other than to question why Ms Watson is not in prison on treason charges or otherwise happily ensconced in a cell with tremendously thick padding on the walls.

One question that desperately needs asking though, is: Who exactly would find the notion of Western civilisation offensive? Apart from Muslims, that is, many of whom despise it. What about British culture? Who in Britain could possibly find that offensive, apart from Muslims again? And free speech? Well, free speech could be used to suggest Islam isn’t really a religion of peace at all, and might be better described as a supremacist ideology of total war… which again, is not really something the Muslims would like to hear stated by beardless, uppity infidels.

So the Electoral Commission is proscribing words, just as George Orwell predicted in his dystopian novel 1984. The Electoral Commission is telling political parties they cannot use certain words if those words are frowned upon by the current ruling political elite! How can this possibly be happening in what we like to think of as democratic Britain?

The beneficiaries of this totalitarian behaviour are foreign Muslims, and the victims are both democracy and native Brits. Needless to say, this is not a good situation. Our democracy wasn’t handed to us on a plate without historical sacrifice. Our graveyards are littered with the tombs of soldiers who gave their lives for our democratic rights — and these rights are now being stripped away by the very people who have been entrusted with our democracy!

Ms Watson has form, of course. She is part of the hard-Left’s Long March through the Institutions which is now more of an infestation than a march. These crazily destructive people are everywhere today. Ms Watson was in charge of the Electoral Commission in 2010 and did nothing to clean up its act, even after Baroness Warsi claimed Muslim electoral fraud had cost the Conservative party a majority government.

One prominent judge was so appalled by the levels of Muslim fraud he compared Britain to a banana republic, something which Ms Watson also chose to ignore because in this particular banana republic of Britain, the fraudulent votes were going to the party of her choice — the Labour Party.

Was the Burkini Bust on the Beach a Setup?

Posted on by

Several days ago a young woman on the beach in Nice was fined by the police for wearing a burkini. It was obvious from the moment the first news stories came out that the incident was going to be maximally exploited by the Islamophilic press, taking care to tug gullible readers’ heartstrings about the cruel treatment of an innocent woman, with an emphasis on the violation of her civil liberties.

A similar incident occurred on the beach at Cannes. The following TV news report makes sure the audience knows where its sympathies should lie. Many thanks to Ava Lon for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

But now it seems that the burkini incidents may have been more than exploited: they may well have been intentionally manufactured. Someone — I’ll leave readers to speculate about who that someone might be — arranged in advance for press reporters and photographers to be there, recruited a photogenic burkini-clad woman, made sure the police showed up to play their part, and then milked the result for all it was worth in the media.

Below is a report from F. Desouche discussing this possibility. Thanks once again to Ava Lon for the translation:

Veiled woman fined: Philippot and Dray suggest a manipulation

by the fandetv 25/08/2016

Florian Philippot [Front National] said ironically, on Wednesday morning on RTL, the woman fined “was lucky” that a journalist from France 4 happened to be there. “So it was a great coincidence for her,” he averred.

Gilbert Collard, [Rassemblement Blue Marine — supporting Marine Le Pen from the Front National] for his part reacted on France Info on women in burkinis: “When in the current context a woman goes to the beach wearing a burkini, sometimes with photographers who will take pictures, we know that it makes the religious dress propaganda, and serves the controversy ISIS wants to initiate.”

Julien Dray, a former member from the Essonne [department in the Île-de-France region], believes the pictures of a woman forced to remove her veil in front of police in Nice were devised for the purpose of dividing the French. “No need to be a rocket scientist to understand that the photos on the beach in Nice were not surprise-pictures…”

Contacted by Scan, this insider close to François Hollande says: “I wonder; I am suspicious. If these pictures are sponsored, the one who did it wanted to create the buzz that we see these days. The objective is to divide the French.” And then this government official proceeds to point out some items that are suspicious in his eyes: “The images are very clear, probably made by telephoto. The woman wears no glasses, near a police station … It’s weird to see her lying like that, with no towel on a pebble beach. She doesn’t seem to be there to tan, because she’s covered, but she hasn’t brought an umbrella.” “A photographer was dispatched to be on hand to take these pictures. For what purpose? By whom? No sooner had they been uploaded, the images already went around the world and could be found in all the press, especially in the media of the Middle East. It was my buddies who alerted me, when they saw the thing spread,” says Julien Dray.

“These images appear to have been prepared. If true, this is very serious. This confirms that people are deliberately trying to undermine the unity of society, liberty […] When we enter this debate, we are already in the trap that tends to divide the country between the naive and the alarmists. We are caught between two extremes,” said the former MP for the Essonne. Without going so far as to identify a sponsor, Julien Dray wonders who would benefit from the deal. “We have to see how the Committee Against Islamophobia in France (CCIF) plays it in the coming days; we know how they operate.” On social networks there’s a shared suspicion that the event was staged, which also includes the Cannes episode relayed in Obs.

Is Cultural Enrichment Coming to Japan?

Posted on by

Japan has long been held up as a role model for those who oppose mass immigration into Western countries. The Japanese have managed to create and maintain a prosperous high-tech economy without importing millions of culture-enrichers. Like the West, the Japanese face a catastrophic demographic decline, but they have not responded to the aging of their population by inviting in a horde of illiterate young third-worlders.

Not yet, anyway.

The people who control your financial future and mine — the central bankers of Japan, Europe, and the United States — met last week in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The banksters are deeply concerned by the failure of their current policies to maintain the global financial system in the smoothly-functioning state they prefer. Zero interest rates and massive “quantitative easing” have not restored the growth-generating conditions of the 1990s. So the world’s financial leaders are pooling their brain power in an effort to find a solution. Formerly fringe ideas such as negative interest rates — which effectively means the abolition of cash — are now on the table.

One of the proposed solutions for global fiscal anemia is that Japan should change its immigration policies and allow in significantly more migrants. It worked so well for Germany and Britain — why shouldn’t the Japanese jump on the bandwagon? The head of Japan’s central bank is apparently trying to persuade Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of the wisdom of importing youngsters en-masse from the Third World. Cultural enrichment plus financial enrichment — what could possibly go wrong?

By the way — this is the way the most crucial decisions that affect your life and mine are made. The real action is not in all the glitzy election contests and parliamentary debates. It’s right there in those plush climate-controlled venues where the global banksters meet. No one elected them, and none of us has any control over what they decide. Elected leaders can only plead with the banking wizards to adopt their preferred policies.

And the banksters are generally able to make offers that political leaders can’t refuse. So keep an eye on Japan — if the Third World starts flowing into the Home Islands, you’ll know who really rules in Japan, just as they rule everywhere else.

Below are excerpts from a Reuters report from Jackson Hole (emphasis added):

Stephen Coughlin: Yes, the Truth May Constitute Hate Speech

Posted on by

On August 21, the American Freedom Alliance presented a conference in Los Angeles, “Islam and Western Civilization: Can they Coexist?” One of the speakers was Major (ret.) Stephen Coughlin, the author of Catastrophic Failure: Blindfolding America in the Face of Jihad.

Note: In his talk, Maj. Coughlin refers to OSCE events that he attended. The response by CSP and ICLA to the use of the term “Islamophobia” at OSCE is here. The video of his encounter with the globalist enforcers of the OSCE narrative is here.

The PVV Presents Its Program

Posted on by

As reported here last night, Geert Wilders, the leader of the Party for Freedom (Partij voor de Vrijheid, PVV) in The Netherlands, has unveiled his party’s program for the upcoming elections. Needless to say, the PVV’s platform has caused controversy both inside and outside The Netherlands. In the following essay, our Dutch correspondent H. Numan provides some of the political context for Mr. Wilders’ proposals.

The PVV presents its program

by H. Numan

Not only Americans are going to the ballot box soon: in March 2017 so will the Dutch.

One by one political parties are presenting their latest sets of lies, with which they hope to dazzle the dumb or woo the ignorant. The PVV party presented their program a few days ago. It’s not a lot, a mere A4. That’s all. It was enough to stir up the hen house, though. Impossible! The PVV doesn’t want to govern, this is the proof! Left and right are up in arms to fight the evil PVV and all it stands for. Let’s have a look at what the PVV wants, shall we? Have a look at what the Baron posted yesterday for details.

Well, folks. That’s it. If you’re Dutch, this is what the PVV wants. And what just about anyone else doesn’t want. Those in nice comfy jobs, that is. Political, semi-government, non-profit, with-prophet, and don’t forget those nice comfy jobs available in private enterprises. They all don’t want that.

Now, this is their electoral program. Not the koran or a hadith, nor is it chiseled onto a set of stone tablets. It’s what they want to start negotiating from when elected. All across the board righteous people are up in arms about it. Both left and right. This is unconstitutional! You can’t do this without changing the constitution! That will never ever happen!

Nonsense, of course. First of all, nobody knows our constitution. Yes, we have one. That sums up the knowledge we have about that constitution, or grondwet, as it is known in Dutch. It’s not a big deal as the US constitution is. It is also vastly different. Our constitution is not a nice little pamphlet that can be memorized at school. It’s massive complicated legalistic bookwork. Only law students study it. I can absolutely guarantee you that those above up in arms about infringements of that constitution haven’t read any of it, apart from a Wikipedia article or two. As soon as Europeans start yammering about the constitution, beware! It usually is a thinly disguised Godwin.

Now, about that derided PVV program. It’s exactly what the electorate wants. Not the people who make more than three times the average income, but the ones well below. Common folks like you and me. They bear the brunt of what the rich and politically correct have decided. They often live in social housing, and are surrounded and replaced by muslims. If they can, they try to find alternative housing, but usually they can’t. The better-offs have more options. They simply move to a nice house in the suburbs. No muslims there, perhaps a muslim garbage collector twice a week or a muslim ambassador who lives next door.

The rich don’t have to send their kids to a black school. What’s more: they don’t. Mixing cultures is for the morons. Not for them. Femke Halsema was the leader of Green Left, previously known as the CPN, the Dutch Communist Party. She hit the news in 2014 when she moved her kids from a black school to a strictly whites-only school. We don’t have a sign ‘slegs vir blankes’ but ‘school fee: € 500 monthly’ is just as effective.

The same lady has hobby. She loves old-timers. She owns a Mercedes 200 D from 1984. It created an outcry (and very little else!) when it became known. Her super-green party had given her a Toyota Prius, but she would much rather drives around in that smoke-belching chimney. That’s the party chair of the party that has integration and the environment as no 1 issues. Her party bans advanced diesel-powered cars in Utrecht as they cause (debatable) too much pollution.

The most often heard complaint about the PVV is that it’s a populist party. Every democratic party should be a populist party! If they aren’t, they are not democratic. As the chairman of the (former) communist party clearly demonstrates. The Labor party used to be populist, and they still are. If you are a muslim, that is. How are they doing in the polls? They hold currently 30 seats, and have for the entire last year consistently polled below 9. Being populist seems a very good idea to me.

Et Tu, Bohuslav?

Posted on by

Regular readers are familiar with Miloš Zeman, the president of the Czech Republic. Mr. Zeman has drawn favorable attention from “Islamophobes” all over the globe for his unwavering stance on immigration and Islamization. Like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, he is adamant that Islam is incompatible with Czech culture and values.

Czechia has a parliamentary system of government, however, and the president does not wield any significant political power. His role is largely ceremonial, similar to that of the presidents of Italy and Germany. Important decisions are made by the parliament, under the leadership of the prime minister and his cabinet.

Bohuslav Sobotka is the leader of the Social Democratic Party and the current prime minister of the Czech Republic. On Thursday German Chancellor Angela Merkel paid a visit to Prague. While she was there, Prime Minister Sobotka told the Tin Chancellor that Czechia would not accept any “refugees” under the EU’s mandatory migrant quota system.

Well, that was Thursday. By Friday — yesterday — Bohuslav Sobotka was making arrangements for the care and feeding of an expected 6,000 migrants allocated to the Czech Republic by the European Union.

Xanthippa has been charting Mr. Sobotka’s instantaneous reversal of position. Here’s what she wrote this morning on her blog:

Czech Prime Minister tells Merkel ‘NO’ to migrants and quotas, the next day, his government starts looking for a contractor to look after 6,000 refugees for 3 years

Politicians lie.

We all know this.

Yet, there is a difference between ‘bending the truth’ and ‘not living up to unrealistic promises’ and a 180 degree reversal in, oh, a day or so.

OK, let me paint the background.

A year ago today, the German government, lead by Chancellor Angela Merkel, sent out a tweet saying (in German):

“The #Dublin procedure for Syrian citizens is at this point in time effectively no longer being adhered to”

In other words: come to Germany, the rule of law no longer applies to illegal migrants… All are welcome, all will be let in and given extremely generous handouts.

This tweet was, understandably, the trigger for the tsunami of migrants coming to Germany. All of them claim to be ‘Syrians’ — even though the vast majority of them are not. But, they had destroyed all their documents and, in Germany, innocence/truthfulness is presumed until found guilty/proven fraudulent…which is extremely difficult to do with people with no documentation whatsoever.

Soon, Germany began to be inundated by so many mostly military-age, male, Muslim migrants that its infrastructure began to fail. And the criminality — especially sexual attacks and property damage/theft went through the roof.

Unable to cope with this influx of migrants who do not respect the ‘law of man’ — but only the ‘law of Allah’ = the Shariah, Germany swiftly switched its position as THE ONLY country that invited both refugees from war AND illegal migrants (its laws deny Germany the right to differentiate between true refugees and opportunistic migrants) to the position that all EU nations must take in their ‘fare share’ of migrants who are unwilling to assimilate nor are they willing (or able, education wise) to work.

As if ‘Germany invites them, everybody else must take care of them’ were somehow ‘fair’.

But, there is reasoning behind this madness.

Yes, I said ‘reasoning’ — not ‘reason’.

Because this ‘reasoning’ is anything but ‘reasonable’.

To understand it, we must look to the EU and the philosophy that underlines it.
