The Fundraiser That Wasn’t

Posted on by

This fundraising post was “sticky” for two weeks. Scroll down for lots of posts that were put up after it first appeared.

Update August 30 5:30pm EDT

I’m struggling with the new payments service, trying to find out how to make a form, or get a quick link, for a donation button. Until I manage to do that, snail mail is the only option. If you would like to make a postal donation, please email me at gatesofvienna {at} chromatism {dot} net, and I’ll send the address to you.

Since the last time I posted an update, more snail-mail donations have come in from the following places:

Stateside: Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New Hampshire, New York, Texas, West Virginia, and Washington

Canada: British Columbia

A big thank you to everyone who sent in their contributions. Your generosity is astonishing!

Email acknowledgements have gone out to most of the donors, and the rest will be sent shortly.

The Fundraiser That Wasn’t

Update August 25 8:00pm EDT

A week ago I thought this was going to be a normal quarterly fundraiser. I started it in the usual fashion, with an opening post on Monday for the fundraising “octave”. Then I woke up on Tuesday morning and discovered to my dismay that I’d been shut out of PayPal. After a conversation with the lady in the Terminations Department (as I think it was called), I was left in no doubt that I had been cancelled for my political opinions.

This eventuality was hardly unexpected; it’s not like I’m the first to be cancelled by PayPal. Over the past couple of years I watched the big guns go down one by one — Jihad Watch, Tommy Robinson, and numerous others. Since I’m just a tiny popgun in the “racist” scheme of things, my day of reckoning was delayed. But it had to come someday.

Hitting this speed bump made me decide to keep this post on top for a few extra days, to make sure that everyone gets a chance to see it. Newer stuff will continue to accumulate below it.

For the time being I’m fundraising by snail mail. Those who want to donate and don’t already have the address, please email me at gatesofvienna {at} chromatism {dot} net, and I’ll send it to you.

So far the results have been encouraging — a fair number of envelopes have arrived in the mail. I’ve already started writing the thank-you notes. I really appreciate your willingness to pitch in. And at least five people who have never donated in the past were affronted by what PayPal did, and wrote to ask for the address.

Even so, there’s no doubt that PayPal’s heinous actions will reduce the amount I can successfully raise. Not everyone will be willing to send money by regular mail, and the logistics for overseas gifts will be tricky.

The big question is whether the reduction will be significant enough to threaten the continuation of this site. Everything should proceed as normal for at least another quarter — I have enough savings to cover that.

In the meantime, I’m determined to find a substitute for PayPal. I’m in the throes of attempting to set up an account with a new service, but the interminable process of account verification is still incomplete. So keep your fingers crossed, or send up a smoke signal to the fire god, or say a novena for me — I need all the help I can get.

White People as Prey

Posted on by

There has been an increasing flood of news stories from Western Europe about brutal attacks on elderly people by “persons with a migration background”. Muggings, assaults, rapes, and the occasional murder — such is the state of cultural enrichment in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, and other European countries. I’ve been publishing translated videos and articles about such attacks, and there have been dozens more articles about them in the news feed.

The targeting of old people is nothing new; similar stories have appeared here over and over for more than a decade. But the frequency has increased in the past few months, as if COVID-19 or Black Lives Matter were somehow a factor.

The vicious actions of culture-enrichers in Europe are examples of tribal behavior. Most third-world immigrants have no loyalty to anyone other than members of their own tribe. If a group outside the tribe is larger and more powerful, then the attitude towards that group will be one of fear and avoidance. If an outside group is small and weak, however, then it is regarded as prey.

Europeans used to understand tribal norms, but they have been civilized for so long that they have forgotten them. Twelve hundred years ago the Svear and the Götar were separate and distinct tribes, and would prey on one another as the opportunity presented itself. Then they merged into Sverige, becoming a nation instead of separate tribes. A hundred years ago that nation became a socialist utopia. Sweden has now discarded even the idea of a nation, welcoming the whole world into its open arms.

Unfortunately for the Swedes, most of the rest of the world still has a tribal nature. More than seven years ago I wrote the following as part of a lament for Sweden-That-Was:

The most important prerequisite for a functioning welfare state in Sweden is that it be run by Swedes, for Swedes. The mindset of those whose taxes fund it and those who receive its benefits needs to be, well, Swedish. They must be people who value labor over idleness; who are congenitally indisposed to game the system; who have a basic understanding of their duty to contribute to the general welfare. Absent such characteristics, the system could do nothing but fail.

Why was this fact so difficult to recognize? Why was it so hard to understand that Somalis and Kosovars and Iraqis are not at all like Swedes? How could anyone with an IQ above room temperature fail to predict that the newcomers would extract everything they possibly could from the Swedish benefits system, whilst putting as little as possible into it?

Inviting in the Third World is not the same as importing Finns, or Norwegians, or even Danes. The “New Swedes” originate largely from predator cultures, those benighted societies in which anyone outside the tribe, or even the immediate clan, is an object to be exploited. From their perspective, the Swedish welfare system is manna from heaven, a windfall just waiting to be harvested and consumed by the family and the clan. Such bounty! Such abundance!

Let Them Come to Berlin — To Protest the Coronavirus Restrictions

Posted on by

Last Saturday a huge demonstration against the government’s Wuhan Coronavirus restrictions took place in Berlin. If I understand it correctly, the sequence of events went as follows:

The demonstration was at first denied a permit by Interior Senator Andreas Geisel.

Then the Berlin Administrative Court overturned the ban, which allowed the demonstration to proceed.

After the march started on Saturday, police “dissolved” the demo due to violations of coronavirus restrictions.

Then the court (the same court? or a different one?) ordered the police to allow the demonstration to continue.

Below are nine videos and two articles about the events leading up to and during the demo. All translations are by MissPiggy, except for the Guido Hofmann video, which was translated by Hellequin GB. Many thanks to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling.

First, a report by Bild on the initial ban against the demo:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke at the demonstration (possibly only by video link, it’s not clear). He talked about the health of children, the danger of mercury contamination in vaccines, and the corruption of science and government by the pharmaceutical industry. He said, “Governments love pandemics,” because they induce fear in the populace, which allows them to exert greater control.

The Cultural Enrichment News From Spain

Posted on by

Greece, Italy, and Spain are currently overwhelmed by increasing waves of migrant invaders who are brought to Europe by people traffickers. The situation was bad enough already, but the onset of COVID-19 has added a new layer of restrictions and quarantine, pushing migrant reception systems to the breaking point.

The two videos below show the latest cultural enrichment news from Spain. Many thanks to FouseSquawk for the translations, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling.

Video #1

The following video is a news report about an incident last week in which migrants at a detention center in Melilla (the Spanish enclave in North Africa, bordering Morocco) rioted, attacking police and forcing the evacuation of staff members at the center:

Video #2

Rocío De Meer Méndez is a member of parliament for the populist Vox Party. The video below features remarks that she made recently on the floor of parliament about mass immigration. Among other incidents, she mentions the attack on the fence in Melilla described in the previous video:

Video transcript #1:

00:08   What began this morning as the second day of protest in the CETI [migrant center] of Melilla,
00:12   asking for transfer to the peninsula [mainland], has ended in a pitched battle
00:20   The demonstration began around ten in the morning, and, like yesterday, dozens of people
00:24   banged on the door of the center yelling, “Out!”
00:27   “Out! Out! Out! Out! Out! Out! Out!”
00:33   Later, around midday, the situation exploded into disturbances inside the center.
00:37   The demonstrators used rocks, trash cans, and a fire extinguisher against the police officers.
00:44   “Out! Out! Out! Out! Out! Out!”
00:49   The workers of the center were trapped and had to take refuge
00:53   in an office until they had the opportunity to leave.
00:57   Meanwhile, the anti-riot police, protected against rocks by shields, the Civil Guards,
01:01   National Police, and local police entered to put down the protest.
01:05   According to government information, the number of injured officers
01:08   at this time is among civil security and national police.
01:11   On the other side, the number of detained is 26 residents of CETI
01:15   who were, little by little, taken to vans beginning at one in the afternoon.
01:19   Also needed was the presence of 061 [ambulance service], who took a young Egyptian
01:24   to the Comarcal hospital. When the situation was more under control this cleanup service was called
01:29   to pick up the remains [unintelligible]
01:32   [unintelligible] … banners
01:38   Over several hours one could see officers of different agencies entering and leaving the center,
01:42   since there were people who had the intention of continuing to protest.
01:48   CETI is a temporary reception center with a capacity of 782 people.
01:54   Principally for asylum-seekers, it passed its capacity years ago,
01:58   and since the decree of confinement for the Corona virus pandemic,
02:02   there has been an increase in the number of residents.

The Monkey Comes Out of the Sleeve!

Posted on by

Our Dutch correspondent H. Numan sends this update with the latest monkey business from the Dutch political scene.

The monkey comes out of the sleeve!

by H. Numan

That’s a literal translation of a Dutch proverb: de aap komt uit de mouw. In the Queen’s English: now we get to the point. Admit it, (double) Dutch can be fun.

I told you about the election of a politically correct incompetent clown as leader of the Dutch Christian Democrats, in two articles. Here’s a follow up. We know that the election was rigged. That’s a given. The politically most correct candidate had to win. Which was Hugo de Jonge, alias Pipo the Clown. The wife of his opponent, Mrs. Omtzigt, now complains openly of election fraud.

It gets even better. Saturday Pieter Omtzigt was in The Hague, where he was accosted by extreme left wing demonstrators. He was threatened, and had to flee into a ministry for safety. One of his assailants was Claudia ter Schuur. A lawyer-cum-political activist. She’s of course whiter than snow and firmly committed to Black Apartheid. When blacks are racists, they aren’t racists, says whitey Claudia.

She was fully exposed on GeenStijl.nl. Which — something we know so well from progressive activists — is all a lie, she claims. Despite video evidence, and later an interview on TV in which she ‘hoped she had changed his mind’. Claudia wrote a letter to GeenStijl denying she was even there.

Pieter Omtzigt tweeted about his assault: “My colleague Geert Wilders certainly does have a point. This is not normal.” [about parliamentarians needing bodyguards] Which makes it all obviously clear to me.

As I wrote earlier: Hugo de Jonge had to win. Omtzigt cannot be manipulated as easily as de Jonge, and is not even remotely as much in favor of the EU and integration as the party elite is. The powers that be (in this case, VVD* and CDA*) have already decided they will follow a very progressive course. Hugo will do as he is told, Pieter definitely not. Hugo would rather see his party fade into oblivion than work with the PVV* and FvD*.

The conservative party VVD has, for the last couple of decades, firmly moved to the left. The same goes for the other big parties, to a slightly lesser extent. Every attempt to change the course was nipped in the bud. The last prominent VVD conservative was Rita Verdonk. When she was ousted from the party, the remaining conservatives were either ousted as well or silenced into obedience. The conservative party is now a moderately progressive party in disguise. It wasn’t Rutte who began the shift towards the left; that was Ed Nijpels, a generation ago. Ed is now a prominent VVD retiree. However, Rutte is the one who solidified and consolidated it.

That creates a problem for Mark Rutte. He wants to win the elections. His leadership during the CCP virus crisis, especially that of CDA vice premier Hugo de Jonge (yes, that’s the same Pipo the Clown), is slipping. The VVD is slowly but surely declining in the polls. The election of Pipo didn’t do the CDA much good. So far it costs four (virtual) seats. On the other side of the spectrum the PVV and FvD are steadily growing in the polls. The PVV currently polls at 21 seats. Not as much as the VVD (32 seats) but the gap is narrowing. Left-wing parties aren’t winning anything at the moment. Only the PvdA* (labour) is climbing out of the pit. They poll at 16 seats, and hold 9. It possible but not likely they will gain that much during real elections.

So what is Rutte planning to do? It looks he is gambling on an ultra-left many-party coalition. In theory he can work with both Wilders and Baudet. His minority cabinet Rutte II had support from Geert Wilders before his coalition partner CDA blew it up. Where they very capably put the blame on Wilders.

In reality Rutte prefers a left-wing coalition. Sure, if worst comes to worst, he’ll work with anyone. But his personal preference is progressive. The only way that can happen is a very broad — and unworkable — many-party coalition to get the required 76-seat majority.

Culture-Enriching Riots in Response to Koran Abuse in Malmö

Posted on by

The Islam-critical Danish politician Rasmus Paludan was invited by Dan Parks to burn a Koran today in the heavily culturally enriched district of Rosengård in the southern Swedish city of Malmö. However, Swedish authorities declared Mr. Paludan to be persona non grata, and would not let him into the country.

His supporters went ahead with the Koran abuse anyway, even without their mentor. The following news report describes what the rambunctious “youths” of Rosengård did in response to the mistreatment of the Koran.

Below are excerpts from a BBC article about what happened in Malmö:

Protest Against Koran-Burning Turns Violent in Sweden

Protesters against the burning of a Koran by far-right supporters in Sweden have clashed with police during several hours of rioting.

Cars were set on fire and shop fronts were damaged in the clashes in the southern city of Malmö which have now been brought under control. There were several arrests.

Earlier on Friday, police barred far-right Danish politician Rasmus Paludan from attending the Koran-burning rally.

His supporters went ahead regardless.

Swedish police turned Mr Paludan back at the border, saying there was a two-year entry ban for him.

Update on the Cemetery Torture in Solna

Posted on by

I reported on Wednesday about a horrific incident in the Swedish town of Solna in which two boys were kidnapped by culture-enrichers, taken to a cemetery, robbed, raped, and tortured. New details have now emerged about the case: the boys’ torturers also attempted to bury them alive.

Many thanks to FouseSquawk for translating this brief article from Aftonbladet:

Information: Boys buried alive — in a pit

New information on the night of terror in the Solna cemetery

During the night of torture in the Solna cemetery, the victims were also buried alive in a pit, according to information obtained by Aftonbladet.

At one point during the night, the two underage youths were compelled to undress, forced down into a pit in the ground, and the burial of them began, sources tell Aftonbladet.

Culture-Enriching Torture in a Solna Cemetery

Posted on by

Here’s another “humiliation crime” from Sweden. Many thanks to FouseSquawk for translating this article from Samhällsnytt:

Two men wanted held in custody for torture assault on boys in Solna

Two men are wanted held in custody for the torture-like assault on two boys in the Norra Cemetery in Solna north of Stockholm this past weekend. The men are 18 and 21 years old respectively, have a non-Western immigrant background, and are well-known to the police for earlier crimes.

It was about 11 pm on Saturday that two boys were kidnapped and taken to the cemetery, where they were forced to undress naked and were subjected to aggravated, protracted, abusive assault, sexual abuse, and aggravated robbery.

Two men were arrested shortly after the incident, and detention custody has been requested for probable cause on the higher grade of suspicion for kidnapping, aggravated assault, rape, and aggravated robbery.

Both suspects have non-Western immigrant backgrounds but are Swedish citizens. They are well-known to police and social services. The 18-year-old was previously prosecuted for theft, while the 21-year-old has been convicted of arson, unlawful driving, drunk driving, several narcotic offenses, and theft, among other things. Why the 21-year-old has not yet begun to serve his 18-month prison sentence for arson last summer is not clear.

The motive for the crime is still not clear, as well as what relationship, if any, the victims and perpetrators had with each other.
