Yesterday Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán spoke at the dedication of a memorial to the victims of Communism. In particular, Mr. Orbán called for the remembrance of the Hungarian patriots of the revolution of 1956 who were killed and then buried in unmarked mass graves.

As we reported last Thursday, a German man will do jail time for creating two images — each clearly labeled as “satire” — that mocked politicians. For making the images and putting them on Facebook, he was judged to be guilty of “incitement”. The satirical content of those images involved Islam, so the prosecution for creating them may be seen as yet another instance of the implementation of UN Resolution 16/18 at the national level.
Now, however, the criticism of politicians for any reason whatsoever seems to have been criminalized in Germany. It’s as if the sharia code against criticism of Islam has been extended and generalized to include all criticism. In other words, the German government has become Islamic, so that criticism of political leaders is de facto criticism of Islam, and hence forbidden.
The video below shows a man angrily confronting Martin Schulz, the former president of the European Parliament and now the man who is favored to become the next German chancellor. The critic’s angry words in this video have been identified as “libel”, and he will be charged for them.
A summary from PolitikStube:
Halle: A citizen cusses out the SPD as “traitors against workers”
An incident at the visit of Chancellor candidate Martin Schulz in the University hospital at Halle. The man is accusing the SPD [Social Democrats] of betraying workers. Now the 46-year-old has been slammed with a charge of libel. The State Protection Agency has picked up the investigation.

An afterword from the translator:
I only find this interesting because the man accuses the SPD of traitors for the worker class and instead of just shrugging it off, they have filed a police report for libel. Kind of obvious that they apparently feel guilty and they’re now crushing this man with everything they have. I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes to prison for forty years or more.

Earlier today a man went on a rampage in the German city of Heidelberg, running his car into pedestrians and killing one person while injuring two others. After his car crashed, the perpetrator got out brandishing a knife. He ran away, but when police caught up with him, he refused to drop the knife, so he was shot.
There’s no indication of any Mohammed Coefficient to the incident. Police say the suspect is a mentally ill German citizen “without a migration background”.
The first video below shows the point where the attacker was surrounded by police, and includes the sound of a single gunshot. The second is a brief news clip from German TV.

The following two videos are about DITIB, the Turkish-German organization that purports to represent all Muslims in Germany.
It comes as no surprise to us “Islamophobes” that the two-faced functionaries of DITIB and the imams of DITIB’s mosques speak oily platitudes in German about “dialogue” and “integration” while preaching jihad and Islamic supremacism in Turkish. This fork-tongued behavior has now spread to Facebook, which is easier to spot and expose than the bloodthirsty sermons preached behind the closed doors of a mosque.
Nash Montana, who translated the videos for subtitles, includes this introduction:
DITIB stands for “Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs”.
Again and again DITIB members express themselves in anti-democratic and anti-Semitic ways. Reporters from “Reporter 3” have found astonishing posts on Facebook in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg.
And members of DITIB headquarters don’t even hide their anti-democratic, anti-Semitic attitudes anymore. When reporters confronted the chairman of a Wilhelmsburg mosque that is part of DITIB with his anti-democratic posts on Facebook, he played it down and said he was just being “emotional” because of events that are going on currently. One of his posts said, “Democracy is not binding for us, we are only bound by Allah’s book, the Koran.”
He also agitates against non-Muslims: “I spit in the face of Turks and Kurds that do not live Islam. What value do they have when they aren’t Muslims?”
One young pilgrim from DITIB celebrated Erdogan on his Facebook profile as an Islamic conqueror, saying: “My Führer, give us your command and we will destroy Germany!”
In DITIB mosques and sermons all across Germany, anti-Semitism and agitation against believers of other religions are taught. Christian rituals such as Christmas are ridiculed and the Western world is blamed for everything bad that has befallen Islam.

Below are the latest developments on the Geert Wilders case, from an article in yesterday’s De Telegraaf. Many thanks to El Rubio for the translation:
Another two top security guards at the Guarding and Safety Public Service (DBB) are rotten.
Amsterdam — The riot inside the Guarding and Safety Public Service (DBB) seems to have turned a lot more serious. Another two members of this unit who are supposed to guard politicians and the Royal House were apparently relieved of their duties on suspicion of committing a criminal offense.
One of them, Omar El M., was one of the direct guardians for Geert Wilders. This was reported to De Telegraaf by well-informed sources.
This concerns a big investigation into matters which were swept under the carpet. The two top guardians were relieved of their duties when they entered the picture in a fraud case. The FIOD (Ministry of Revenue) launched a laundering investigation that involved millions of euros through Curaçao. The Ministry says it is a very big investigation, and still ongoing. Omar’s brother Anouar was also relieved of his duties. His exact role in the DBB is unclear.
Geert Wilders was informed about the firing of these two individuals Friday morning, and apparently was furious that he had not been informed earlier. That was also the case with Faris K., who was apprehended last Monday on suspicion of money laundering and leaking of confidential information. Faris K. also worked for the DBB and is of Moroccan decent. The administration of the National Police confirmed to De Telegraaf that indeed these individuals were fired. Within the police ranks there is astonishment over these new developments.
Minister for Safety and Justice Stef Blok acknowledged Friday that these individuals were removed from the “physical shield around Wilders” in 2015 because of financial misconduct. At that time the DBB was already wrestling with the arrest of another guard.
This was Faris K, who, as already mentioned in De Telegraph, was already convicted for leaking information when he was still working for the regional police force Midden-Nederland. In spite of this conviction he was still able to get a job at the important DBB. The brother of Faris K., Mohammed K., was also fired for leaking information.
Rutte (Dutch Prime Minister): Campaigning to continue.
“Of course you try to prevent disciplinary actions at all costs. But if you have to, then we will do it, in the interest of the safety of our politicians,” is his reaction to the new developments. According to the Prime Minister the campaign can continue 100,000% he added, and continued: “there is no indication that this has to do with terrorism. These are all cases of financial wrongdoings. Serious, to be sure, of course. Just to stay on top of things, disciplinary actions were taken.”
Madeleine van Toorenburg, CDA member of Parliament: “We have had a couple of days of worries about the DBB. This is terribly serious, we have to be able to rely on the irreproachable behavior of the police and security services. We want an explanation from the minister why this happened and why the facts are only being made public now.”

Reactions from Geert Wilders:
Clare M. Lopez is a strategic policy and intelligence expert who focuses on national defense, Islam, Iran, and counterterrorism issues. She is a former career operations officer with the Central Intelligence Agency, and is now a Senior Fellow at the Center for Security Policy.
Ms. Lopez spoke at a CPAC event on Thursday. Below is a video of the brief talk she gave about stealth Islamization and sharia in North America:
Hat tip: Vlad Tepes.
The provincial legislature in Ontario unanimously passed a motion against Islamophobia. The measure, which passed 81-0, condemned all forms of “hatred, hostility, prejudice, racism and intolerance” towards any religion, with Islam being the only religion specifically mentioned in the text.
In other news, a prosecutor in Sweden decided not to charge an immigrant man with child rape for having impregnated his 14-year-old “wife”. The prosecutor reasoned that the act causing the pregnancy had occurred outside of Sweden, and was therefore not actionable under Swedish law.

The following article from El Pais, also translated by FouseSquawk, describes the situation in Ceuta:
Some 350 immigrants arrive at Ceuta in the second massive entry in three days
Eleven persons have been transferred to hospital, eight with injuries and three with possible fractures according to Red Cross
Approximately 600 immigrants attempted to enter this Monday at Ceuta; of these 359 were finally accepted onto Spanish territory. The Red Cross has informed us that 11 persons have been attended to in the autonomous city hospital, eight with injuries and three with possible fractures. This is the second mass entry in three days after 498 entered last Friday, of the approximately 900 who attempted.
The entry occurred shortly after 4am this Monday in the area of Finca Berrocal, the same border point at which the immigrants entered Spain last Friday. The Government Delegation states that they did not jump over the fence; rather these people utilized shears and metal clubs to break it. Sources in this institution explain that it concerns a zone of “reduced visibility” that impedes sight of the arrival of the immigrants on the security cameras. The Secretary of the State for Security, Jose Antonio Nieto, last week stated that the use of drones is being evaluated in order to augment security at the border.

Jürgen the German
In the light of the hysterical reactions to the justified and necessary speech by Björn Höcke concerning the German remembrance culture — which basically consists mainly of targeted spiritual and intellectual blackmail of everyday citizen in this country through the Left and left-extremists in politics, media and institutions — these videos are a look back at an ideology-free England of times past, where even twenty years ago German national sensitivities and hang-ups had tossed barbs at them.
With “Jürgen the German” the beloved and legendary comic Harry Enfield created a figure who represented the typical German from a British point of view. A German about whom one could only laugh, but who was damned close to reality, and, in light of recent discussions in this country, seems to be even closer to reality now. Jürgen the German is the embarrassing laughingstock, at whom everyone in Britain laughs, mixed in with a hint of pity, but which is also embarrassingly touching because that kind of German actually exists en masse in reality in Germany: uptight, narrow-minded and humorless!
On the one hand, Jürgen the German is ashamed and apologizes permanently for Germany’s role in a war with Great Britain, but on the other hand he outs himself as a notorious know-it-all; aggressive phrases and emotions continually break through in which he mirrors the conveyed image of the typical German “Nazi” perfectly. Even back then, Enfield portrayed the current behavior of German “elites” extremely well and openly: On the outside they play the moral and tolerant Gutmensch, but as soon as that’s met with a different opinion, “enemies of refugees”, “Europe haters”, and “enemies of Greece” are knocked into shape by the Left and the Green speech and attitude police with all the German severity and anger available, regardless of how it’s done. Typically German!

We reported in Wednesday night’s news feed that a Moroccan mole in Geert Wilders’ security detail had been caught leaking information to an organized crime group. The arrest made headlines in the Netherlands, and Prime Minister Rutte took the unusual step of meeting with Mr. Wilders to discuss what happened.
Our Dutch correspondent has prepared a report on this alarming incident, along with related Dutch political matters.
Wilders might be in serious danger
by H. Numan
Wednesday a political bombshell exploded in The Netherlands.
A policeman with dual nationality (Moroccan and Dutch) leaked information to Moroccan criminals and possibly to terrorists. He was employed in the Dienst Bewaken & Beveiligen. This is a special police security unit that protects the royal family and people in serious danger. This is the service that protects Wilders. It get far worse. This man, Faris K, was not only working for that service. He was also assigned to the IRIS team that protects Wilders himself. He was not working in the bodyguard team personally, but worked as an advance scout.
It gets even worse… Mr. Faris was arrested and released the very next day. He can await his trial at home. No, we aren’t done yet. Mr. Faris has a brother. Mohammed K. He also worked for the police in Utrecht. There he was suspended for leaking sensitive information in 2007.
So far, two police chieftains have resigned.
Theo van der Plas and Michel Beaten, who supervise the Dienst Bewaken & Beveiligen have resigned at the request of their superiors.
This comes on top of another scandal.
For some time now a sphere of corruption, abuse of power, and too much work have affected the service. The police officer in charge, Mrs. van den Berg resigned in November.
In a nutshell: Wilders wouldn’t be far wrong if he decides he’s better off making his own arrangements. The problem is that this is absolutely forbidden under Dutch law. The police, corrupt and inept as they are, have the absolute monopoly here. The law explicitly forbids it. You can’t even carry a Swiss army knife as a private citizen. Let alone something else. Much less use it, should it become necessary.
The PVV has canceled all public campaigning involving Wilders and other PVV parliamentarians. Until the ministry comes with a much better answer than ‘Wilders wasn’t in danger at any time’.
He was going to campaign in Volendam. You all know that charming little village. If you see typical Dutch costumes: the white cap for ladies, wide trousers for men, both on wooden clogs, that’s Volendam. The Volkskrant (virulent left wing newspaper) found it funny to make a cartoon about that visit.
[Note from the Baron: The original location for the Volkskrant cartoon was here, but the link no longer seems to work. An article where it once appeared times out when I try to access it.
I located a thumbnail of the cartoon in an Internet cache, so that you can get the idea:
…]
Half the country is up in arms. You can’t do something like that. Why on earth are you all offended? retorts the Volkskrant. It’s just an innocent joke. They refuse to withdraw the cartoon, or to offer apologies. Here’s another beauty, made by the NRC Handelsblad (nicknamed NSB Handelsblatt) a couple of years back.
Again, nothing wrong here. But heaven forbid if Wilders says “less, less, less…” That is a serious criminal offense.
Of course, the mohammedan community is outraged by the arrest of Faris K. It is a conspiracy by Wilders himself. There aren’t any Moroccan-Dutch criminal gangs. This is racism at its worst. That sort of thing.
A 26-year-old “Islamist” in Germany has been arrested for building a bomb in his home. The alleged radical extremist was allegedly planning to attack police and soldiers.
