Three junked buses were upended in front of a church in Dresden as a work of “art” and a symbol of… Well, a symbol of something or other, something high-minded and progressive and multicultural.
Whatever the ostensible meaning of the exhibit was, the city fathers of Dresden really screwed up, because it turns out that the three ugly vehicles had a not-insignificant connection with a hardcore Islamic terrorist group in Syria.
Many thanks to Nash Montana for translating this article from Politically Incorrect (which is back up):
PI resistance seems to work: Media reports about the terror buses: disassembly for “environmental” reasons planned?
On Tuesday three junk buses were planted in front of the Dresden Frauenkirche (church), in the name of art. In honor of the art installation, the press and the dhimmi Dresden Mayor Dirk Hilbert and his minions were ecstatic in their agreement about the way a Syrian could bring Aleppo to Dresden. The citizens protesting against this however, were of course vilified as right-wing radicals. And now after PI and Pegida created a ruckus, the general back-pedaling has begun. PI reported that the barricade in Aleppo 2015, which this “monument” evokes, was not created by the populace is their search for safety, but by the second-most dangerous terror militia after the Islamic State, the Ahrar ash-Sham terror militia. Dresden is therefore paying tribute to Islamic terror. And now the Sächsische Zeitung as well as tag24.de are reporting about this.
Pegida leader Lutz Bachmann immediately announced that he would proceed with legal action. As PI learned from a well-informed source, they now want this whole affair to disappear from the spotlight as quietly and as quickly as possible by any means.
The Syrian “artist” Manaf Halbouni claims he didn’t know that the terror militia Ahrar ash-Sham was behind the bus barricade in Aleppo, since he of course rejects all violence, according to Halbouni. A glance at his webpage , however, leads to the conclusion that everything he says is simply a typical case of taqiyya. In 2015 he presented a piece of art under the name “What if”, which shows a “fictitious world” created by him. In this dream world of his, Europe is an Islamic colony:
[picture of map/maps he scribbled his Muslim Utopia on]
Halbouni wrote:
During my map project ‘what if’, I imagine an entirely different flow of world history.
In this fictitious world that I have created, the Industrial Revolution took place in the Arab as well as in the Ottoman Empire. Therefore two powers have emerged which have supplied the world with weapons as well as technological advances.
In the search for resources and new markets, the colonization of Europe began. During the colonization new borders were created in order to divide Europe among the two powers without any regard for the various existing peoples living there.
The following fight maps show the march of the troops and their various units as well as important military targets. The newly conquered European cities are either renamed or translated. Only a few larger cities are allowed to retain their original names.
All that has made its way to the ears of Mayor Dirk Hilbert. Good advice doesn’t just lie around on the street, but in this case maybe it does. Because conveniently, a photo suddenly appeared in which an oil spot is clearly visible under one of the buses:
[photo of bus and oil spot on ground]
As PI has learned, this oil spot will now, in the coming days, serve to save Dirk Hilbert’s hide. This way they can preempt a possible charge and remove the buses very quickly under the pretext of “environmental reasons”, and hope that Pegida and the annoying “opposition press” with their right-wing echo chambers will keep their mouths shut. One shouldn’t want to wish for too little, as an old adage says. Except Pegida isn’t going to make it that easy for the inept politicians and their water carriers in the media. The beauty is that even the Truth Ministry cannot just erase an entire day from the internet nor from the memory of citizens who can still think for themselves.
We are anxious to see how this circus in Dresden will play out. Basically it would be very easy to just take the appropriate steps and force all involved, with the circus director, er, Mayor Hilbert at the lead, to face the consequences and resign. We will not only not let grass grow over this, even if all the junk including the oil stain were to be gone by tomorrow; on the contrary we will be on this as long as everything about it has been uncovered, including the cost, and we’re sure Pegida will do the same.
A second PI article, also translated by Nash Montana, on the “terror buses”:
Ex-Muslim Imad Karim: “What exactly is the reason for these ugly buses in this particular location?”
This “monument” by Manaf Halbouni should only have one function, and that is to remind Germans to finally send such “monuments” to hell. Germany, Dresden and the people here have absolutely NOTHING to do with this ongoing 1,450-year-old Islam vs. Islamic barbarian war. It’s enough! The event in Dresden, showing symbols used by Ahrar al Sham and other Islamists, are just another ‘modern’ attack on Dresden.
The masochistic tendencies of Germans are beginning to disgust me. What exactly is the reason for these ugly buses in this particular location? Nothing, absolutely nothing! The artist should put his buses in front of the Saudi embassy, then he would show bravery, and not here in this place that has been a place of freedom for the past 70 years and that is continuously abused by the filthy left, the poisonous Greens and the devout CDUers and other sympathetic losers.
I know what I am talking about, because I am half Syrian and half Lebanese, and as an agnostic due to an Islamic background, I’m telling everyone: Stop treating Germany, the home of my values, so disrespectfully. These ugly buses and their “art connoisseur” admirers represent the pinnacle of cowardice and hypocrisy.
Stop this absurdity!
Imad Karim
Ex-Muslim, agnostic and crazy for Germany
“Dresden is paying tribute to Islamic terror.” why would you be surprised that communists would do that?” they brought the islamist colonists to your country to terrorize and conquer you.
Goodness knows how much money was spent on reconstructing the church and surrounding buildings to repair part of the altstadt and transform the area from a communist era dump into a baroque cityscape and yet upending three busses is considered (culturally) appropriate?
Even ignoring the symbolism of the busses and who the vandal is, it’s an eyesore that should never have been permitted.
It reminds me of an “art installation” that was erected alongside the motorway into Wellington, NZ many years ago. The artist complained after the council sent out a work crew to remove the work after local residents complained of heavy refuse having being dumped.
Actually the Frauenkirche (destroyed by Allied bombing in 1945) was restored in 1992-2005, ie after the fall of communism.
I agree about the despoilation of beautiful public spaces by so-called “art”; when I was in Venice in 2013, the view of the church of San Giorgio Maggiore was disfigured by an enormous inflatable sculpture called “Alison Lapper* Pregnant” by one Marc Quinn (the smaller and less obtrusive version had been shown in Trafalgar Square). Piazza San Marco opposite had a large electronic billboard advertising (I think) Gucci, so the Venetians are prostituting their heritage as well.
*A victim of Thalidomide
I’m not sure I can express it correctly, but I feel some sort of shadow of murder in it.
Western females are now both objects of top desire and strongest possible urge of deconstruction, distortion, dismemberment, involving grotesque exaggerations, in this case through that monstrous scaling, and certainly via implied karmic punishment by dysgenics, by reduction to the piece of poultry of an innocent, – for White men’s sins.
anyway, we will never see any black or/and muslim females presented with such incisive cold cruelty, – and many thanks to artists for saving the public from that horrible racism, what an enlightened sensitive people they are.
…
Contemporary “art”, one of the biggest scams ever.
You are right. I went once to an exhibit with my “liberal” friends. One of the piece of art my friends went crazy over:
an empty floor and a bunch of dirty socks all over… that’s it!
When I expressed that this is nothing (I used a more expressive phrase), then I looked at like an escaped monkey from the zoo… This art scam could not exists without the bonker leftist lunatics.
Yes, the king couldn’t strut around naked without the complicity of his advisors who were too concerned they would be jeered as fools for admitting they couldn’t see his garments…
Modern art is the same way; everyone knows it is a steaming pile of excrement, but among the leftist classes, no one wants to be thought of by their peers as uncultured for not being able to see what all their fellow snobs claim is visible…
There’s a funny story from 2015 about how an Italian cleaner trashed an art installation in a museum, thinking it was garbage left over from a party.
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/italy-museum-cleaning-lady-mistakenly-throws-away-rubbish-modern-art-by-goldschmied-chiari-1525775
well, here is Christmas tree hanging upside down in Tate Gallery.
I wonder if these artists would dare to do something like that with islamic crescent.
Also in the Tate some years before, there was Harrier and Jaguar fighters also hanging and turned upside down.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10434348
also the “Israeli wall” built to hide St.James Picadilly church from view for several months.
the very presence of islamic settlers will inevitably generate such two-pronged civilization jihad motions, one is debilitating, defaming, de-conceptuaizing the West, another is promoting islam in any form, extent and by any means possible.

Today appeared a comment by the brilliant patriotic writer Thorsten Hinz
https://jungefreiheit.de/debatte/kommentar/2017/solidaritaet-mit-den-toten/
Here is my rough translation of one paragraph:
There is no guilt of a whole country or a city. There are those who are
guilty and those who are not, and even guilt often depends on tragic
circumstances and is in no way clear. What Hilbert [Mayor of Dresden]
does is a collective assignment and sentence, which are features of
totalitarian thinking. When he warns in the same context the
“totalitarianisms from those days” threatens to re-awake and warns to watch
these tendencies, he obviously does not understand what he is talking
about. Except if he wants to refer to himself as an object of study.
Karim said: “During the colonization new borders were created in order to divide Europe among the two powers without any regard for the various existing peoples living there.”
He’s being sarcastic, because THAT is E X A C T L Y what the Europeans did in carving out the borders of the Mideast!
So, his vision would be a reflection of what Europeans did to others in the 1800s.
Go complain to the INDIVUDUALS who did it. Oh, wait … they’re dead. Yes, the events at the Berlin and London Conferences, as well as at Versailles, were criminal. The UN guarantees the borders. There’s your problem.
to the question of European borders.
the main clause, is that borders are of lesser significance than ethos.
achievements of Europeans are unparallel to, and incomparable with anything else in terms of enhancing and inspiring both humanism and inhumanity.
whereas non-Europeans were (and are) focusing exclusively on inhumanity, – be it traditionalist tyrannical type, or cave-age tribal barbarism, or demagogy-powered psychotic srtains imported from modern West.
strange property of today’s globalism is that the construction itself is fractioned and fractured.
but, there is very clear way out of this mess, via action of like minded people – yes, globally.
namely –
– social philosophy in the spirit of “Amsterdam declaration”.
– universal moratorium on use of lethal violence, with gradual enforcement via education, trade/aid preferences and multi-apartheid mechanisms.
– raising of the new orders in the spirit of “people’s meritocracy”, essentially combining competence, hierarchicity, and voluntariness of association and donation.
I think existing political class is doomed – as whole, its “business”, MSM/celebrity, and ideological branches.
recent events – Trump, Brexit, Putin – just demarcate an onset of this self-destruction.
strictly all political figures in the West are deeply disgusting.
(one notable exception is Geert Wilders).
another exception is for the scientific/technical and part of artistic elite – these guys will learn lightning fast, politically.
many of them, willingly or not, are already driving the change.
again, the borders of West.. – they are there, where you find cruelty, ignorance and degeneration.
this rupture is a ghost raising before everyone’s eyes hundred times a day, becoming more and more evident and impossible to ignore.
…
I can make no sense of your posting.
well, I don’t like both religion and nationalism.
I also detest corporate mafia (aka oligarchy) and realpolitik.
so for me the state of the West looks quite dim because
– Brexit is lesser evil, and not at alll a blessing
– Nigel Farage is a spin doctor sodden in realpolitik
– Trump chaotic (and ignorant) oligarchic narcissist
– Mike Pence is creationist cretin
– Putin organized crime boss and war criminal
– Obama crypto islamo marxist creep
– Clinton sociopathic corruptioner
– Merkel – indecisive, inconsistent and self-centered fool
– Theresa May and Francois Hollande are hostages of animal-style nihilism of degraded, consumerist electorate on the one side, and islamization on the other
alas.
and what is your opinion?
…
Well, thank you for your clarification. I read through your original posting several times, and still didn’t know where you were going.
I left a fairly long post at
https://gatesofvienna.net/2017/02/the-total-cringing-dhimmitude-of-the-prime-minister-of-quebec/#more-42187
which has not yet been approved, but unless Dymphna sees a problem with it, I expect it to appear fairly shortly. It gives a more in-depth exposition of my position on the state of western civilization.
I agree with a lot of the characterizations you made, although I have specific disagreements. I don’t see how Brexit is an evil at all. It’s true that Theresa May will undoubtedly screw it up and put England under effective EU authority, but Brexit was absolutely vital for there to be any hope of English nationalism.
I totally disagree with your denigration of Trump. I happen to think that even Trump’s personal liabilities serve him very, very well as President…and serve us as US citizens.
Mike Pence is serving his role as chief assistant CEO. He brings a different knowledge set to the Trump administration, is competent, and has Trump’s back. I’m beyond delighted that Trump chose someone to actively support his administration in the limelight. Pence is obviously being very well used in Trumps administration and looks to be one of the best vice-Presidents in history. Who cares if he’s creationist or not?
Pence reflects a major part of Trump’s constituency: the fundamentalists. They know Trump is not one of them, but he, along with Pence, will look out for their interests.
Uh oh. I don’t see it. Maybe the Baron let it in? I’ll get back to you.
I can’t imagine excluding your comments. I always learn something new.
Best summation of Pence’s value to Trump that I’ve seen. None of the old guard would have considered him as he doesn’t meet their leftist social values. Cynically, he is also a kind of life insurance for Trump since the people who hate him would hate even more having that “true religion” believer as their President…
Actually, the map of the Levant was redrawn in the 20th century with the 1916 Sykes-Picot Agreement and went in effect after the Ottoman Empire had been defeated. And please, don’t get all self-righteous about some country doing some other country wrong. Islam has been conquering and reshaping countries since after a certain pedophile died in the 7th century. Or, did you forget about the Byzantium Empire, the Balkans, Sicily, Spain, etc.?
What’s past is past. What we need to do now is bow out of the politics of the region and allow the natural tendencies and adjustments to manifest themselves. We dramatically stifle progress by insisting that Islamic societies take the forms of democracies. Islamic societies, particularly Arab ones, seem to do better under dictatorships which use Islam to bolster their authority, but are personally rather cynical towards it, and ignore or suppress its more retrograde provisions.
That sounds like it makes sense until you realise that those borders were kept after the locals took over, at which point you realise that the locals are to blame for the problems in the region and not Europeans.
I don’t think sarcasm ever entered his mind.
If the Allies had not been so vindictive towards Dresden, a civilian target, perhaps it would not now be such a pushover for Islamic State. The fire-bombing of Dresden on this day 72 years ago was a heinous war crime. Churchill & Bomber Harris were the guilty men.
excuse me RonaldB for writing out of comment – too many enclosed comments.
om Mike Pence again – if you support him and people he represents (fundamentalists), there can be only 2 reasons for that
either you are creationist yourself
or
you are practicing realpolitik
as I noticed above, both are unacceptable.
the way forward is via overcoming both archaics and hypocricy.
I find your excursion into “human genetics”, ehm, mostly irrelevant.
the whole point of human condition is to speed up evolution zillions times.
moreover, humans are the only animals on the planet who are fully aware of the reality and the mechanisms of evolution – and now understand physiology at the level of engineering.
I think some elements of humanistic eugenics will see the future, e.g. IVF and designer babies, however the most radical innovations in biology will effectively put the end to Darwinian evolution and replace it by something else – “intelligent design :)”? – and very soon.
the mankind as a set, or network, or a hierarchy, of competing human design projects – why not.
…
“the whole point of human condition is to speed up evolution zillions times.
moreover, humans are the only animals on the planet who are fully aware of the reality and the mechanisms of evolution – and now understand physiology at the level of engineering.”
Oh, really? That’s the whole point? Hmm, I would have to say you know less about science than you think you do. People that try to predict the future are never really right, unless their predictions are overly generalized. Name a book over the last 75 years that has postulated a futuristic scenario that has been right. The progress of science is excessively optimistic in all their predictions.
“the mankind as a set, or network, or a hierarchy, of competing human design projects – why not”.
Why? Because you read it somewhere or saw movie that promoted this? Competing human design projects? Why not? Oh, I don’t know. Maybe because humans can’t agree on a dialectic division like conservative vs. liberal, much less multiple design projects. You assume (make an “ass” out of “you (u)” and “me”) that somewhere along the line mankind will be perfect and will abolish war and harmful competition. Do you really want to bet on that?
I think the necessity to abandon violence simply follows from basic principles of stability and progress.
that doesn’t mean that violent societies will happily become extinct at once, – first they will be marginalized, isolated etc. eventualy deactivated.
at present, there is contradiction between quality and goals of the elites and main vector of developmnet, both technological and humanization-wise.
could it all collapse, like new dark ages will come? I can’t prove it but I suspect there are some some strong and objective counter-balances against that.
…
“I think the necessity to abandon violence simply follows from basic principles of stability and progress”.
Yes, and we can tell how well those principles work by examining how “stable” the world is right now. That was sarcasm, by the way.
“that doesn’t mean that violent societies will happily become extinct at once, – first they will be marginalized, isolated etc. eventualy deactivated”.
You mean like how say, Iran or North Korea have been marginalized, isolated, and eventually deactivated? I hadn’t noticed any success with that. Plus, you don’t seem to realize that these methods you promote often engender more violence.
“at present, there is contradiction between quality and goals of the elites and main vector of developmnet, both technological and humanization-wise”.
So, in spite of all the evidence that the elites control development of these things, you believe that there is some core element of humanity that promotes technological and humanitarian development independent of everything else?
“could it all collapse, like new dark ages will come? I can’t prove it but I suspect there are some some strong and objective counter-balances against that”.
No, you can’t prove any of your opinions. There is a God. That is the only counterbalance. However, there has always been a God and he has had no problem inflicting new dark ages. Just look at history.
What on earth is holding these things up? What stops them crashing down on people in a high wind? Or is that the jihadist concept to fully express the artist’s deep meaning?
