The Cologne Central Railway Station (Hauptbahnhof) is well-known to readers who have been around since the Great Migration Crisis of 2015, because that’s where the notorious culture-enriching groping-and-raping festival took place on New Year’s Eve.
Last Sunday a different sort of cultural enrichment made itself felt at the Hauptbahnhof when a teenage mujahidette went on a stabbing rampage at the station.
Actually, there’s no indication from the report below that the young perpetrator is an immigrant, but I’d bet my bippy that she is, especially since the media emphasize the assertion that she has psychological problems. Islamic terrorists in Europe (and elsewhere in the West) are almost always said to be mentally ill.

November 19, 2019Knife attack at the central station! It was Sunday evening, at 9:30 P.M., in front of McDonald’s near Breslauer Platz. Suddenly, a young woman pulled out a long dagger and began to scream something very loudly. As a traveller came toward her, she waved around with her blade and cut his hand. The shocked man immediately loses a lot of blood and collapses.

A statue of Polish King Jan III Sobieski that was originally intended to be erected near Vienna has been put on display in Krakow instead. The statue was supposed to go up on the Kahlenberg, the mountain adjacent to Vienna from which the king led the charge that broke the Siege of Vienna in 1683. Unfortunately, the Austrian government decided that it was too controversial for that location.
I’ve held off posting this wrap-up about the Autumn fundraiser because I was kind of waiting to see if more of my thank-you notes would bounce. However, I’m still writing them, and I’ve got quite a ways to go. So this is an interim update, and if anything else bounces, I’ll post a further update.
