The German People Must Suffer for the Sake of Ukraine

Posted on by

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from the German-language service of the Epoch Times. The translator’s comments are in square brackets:

Steinmeier: “Yes, there are tougher days ahead in Germany, too”

Federal President [Vice-regent for the WEF] Frank-Walter Steinmeier prepared people in Germany for economic losses as a result of the war in Ukraine.

According to Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the severe sanctions against Russia will inevitably also bring uncertainty and losses for Germans. This was announced by the Federal President, who was suffering from Corona, on Sunday in a video message that was broadcast before the concert “For Freedom and Peace” by the Berlin Philharmonic in Bellevue Palace.

“Yes, there are also tougher days ahead in Germany,” said Steinmeier. However, Germans would have to bear the uncertainties and losses if solidarity with Ukraine is to be taken seriously.

“And the whole truth is: there are still many hardships ahead of us,” said the Federal President. “Our solidarity and our support, our steadfastness, also our willingness to make restrictions will be required for a long time to come.”

Steinmeier appeals for reliance on the strength of freedom and democracy

At the same time, Steinmeier appealed for people not to rely on fear, but on the strength of freedom and democracy. After his re-election on February 13, he told Russian President Vladimir Putin that he should not underestimate the strength of democracy. Today it is clear that Putin underestimated it. “He underestimated the strength, the courage, the love of freedom of the Ukrainians — as well as the unity and determination of our alliances, the European Union and NATO.”

At the solidarity concert with Ukraine, the musicians involved — from Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and Germany — played pieces by Ukrainian, Russian and Polish composers together.

Afterword from the translator:

The “war” is a war between Ukraine and Russia. If this comedian had implemented the Minsk Agreement in the service of the USA so that the attacks on Donetsk and Luhansk and the oppression of the local population would cease, then the Russian invasion would probably not have come. And the losses and uncertainties are the responsibility of the federal government and the EU policy driven by Washington, which the citizens now have to bear, but Steinmeier & Co. certainly not.

Mass Surveillance and the Klepto-State

The German-language video below discusses the EU’s plan to remove privacy protections from much of social media and messaging services, all in the name of combating child pornography.

Many thanks to MissPiggy for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling:

The following article seems to fit in with the video somehow. If the state is going to monitor all your financial transactions and expropriate a percentage of your wealth, isn’t total surveillance of your digital activities a prerequisite?

In any case, it seems that the German and Austrian governments are aiming to get their sticky fingers into their citizens’ virtual pocketbooks.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from the Austrian weekly Der Wochenblick:

Expropriation threatened just like in Cyprus in 2013

This is how the government gets your gold and your savings — “Crisis Security Act” planned

Government plans mass expropriation: freezing of savings, confiscation of gold coins, confiscation of apartments. The Great Reset is being implemented more and more openly. Soon we really won’t own anything if the plans of the turquoise-green government [coalition of the ÖVP (turquoise) and the Greens] have their way. A proposed “crisis security law” could give the government scary powers.

The problem here is the very definition of a “crisis”. Because for turquoise-green, this not only includes a “pandemic”, terrorism or “massive national and international human movements”, but also a danger to “the environment, public order and internal security, national security and economic well-being”.

So the alleged “climate crisis” is probably a suitable pretext for the total disenfranchisement of the population. As early as December 2020, Germany’s current Minister of Health, Karl Lauterbach, called for measures to combat climate change similar to those used to combat the pandemic.

On the national holiday, the Council of Ministers passed a so-called “Crisis Security Act”. “In a crisis, everyone has to stick together and work together — the new Crisis Security Act defines the rules for this,” said Interior Minister Karl Nehammer on October 26, 2021 after the Council of Ministers meeting. It is a milestone for an efficient “procedure in crisis situations, such as a pandemic, a blackout or hybrid threat scenarios,” Nehammer explained. A federal situation center is to be set up as a center for crisis management in the Ministry of the Interior.

More powers for the army

This federal situation center should be on standby around the clock and “continuously create situation reports on the current situation in the areas of energy, security and health”. The creation of so-called crisis camps under the leadership of the federal army “as a strategic reserve of the republic” is also planned, according to the website of the Ministry of the Interior . Apart from that, measures for crisis prevention and management should be transferred to the army in the event of a crisis.

“Listen, Viktor!”: Hungary Berated by the Deep State for War Hesitancy

Posted on by

A couple of days ago Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a video in which he addressed stern and officious remarks to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in an attempt to pressure the latter into joining the sanctions regime against Russia and otherwise assisting Ukraine in its cause. Our Hungarian correspondent László provides an analysis of Mr. Zelensky’s statements as they relate to the goals of the New World Order.

“Nazi” Hungary Berated by the Deep State for War Hesitancy

“Listen, Viktor!”: Ukrainian Deep State Puppet Reprimanded the Hungarian PM for War Hesitancy, Branded Hungary as Nazi

by László

If you’ve ever wondered what the voice of the global Deep State would sound like if it were a person, listen to the Ukrainian puppet-president Volodymyr Zelensky calling on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to stop “hesitating” and get his country more deeply involved in the war in Ukraine.

The Globalist media outlet Telex published a subtitled portion of the video that Zelensky had posted on his Facebook page. It is a condescending and manipulative message sent to Hungary, delivered by Mr. Zelensky.

Before you watch the video (translated from the Hungarian subtitles, kindly subtitled by Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation), here is some context to help you understand the sinister insinuations he made:

Hungary has been one of the more reluctant European players to take sides in the Ukraine war. I’ll call it “war hesitancy”, referring to the now established pattern of Deep State psyops that seek to psychologically “inoculate” everyone with their current poisonous substance — this time with warmongering. Previously one’s intention to remain unharmed and free was officially called “vaccine hesitancy”, and it also had to be mocked, criminalized and subdued for “the greater good”.

To that end, the Deep State tool Zelensky specifically addressed Hungary and PM Viktor Orbán, as a part of his longer speech at a recent EU and NATO summit, in an effort to guilt-trip Hungary into joining the war by bringing up the country’s involvement last century in the persecution of Jews.

In his speech, Zelensky refers to the so-called “shoe memorial” on the bank of the River Danube in Budapest, where Jewish people were shot into the river in 1944 and 1945 by the Nazis.

“The memorial was erected in 2005 to commemorate the systematic killings of Hungarian Jews by Hungarian fascists (Hungary allied itself with Nazi Germany in the false hope of regaining territories lost in WW1),” writes Budapest Danube.


Video link

The text of the video (the highlights are mine):

Hungary! I must stop here and be honest. You must decide once and for all whose side you are on. You are an independent country. I’ve been to Budapest; I love the city. I’ve been there several times; I loved it, it’s hospitable, like the people. You have been through tragic moments. I went to the quay where I saw your memorial. I saw the shoes on the Danube bank where a mass murder had taken place. I was there with my family. Listen, Viktor, do you know what’s going on at Mariupol? Please go to the riverbank, and look at those shoes! And you will realize that genocide can happen again in the world, even today. And that is what Russia is doing now. Mariupol has the same shoes and the same people. Adults, children, grandparents. Thousands have died already, thousands are gone. And you are hesitating whether to impose sanctions or not?! And you are hesitating whether to send the guns or not?! And you are hesitating whether to trade with Russia or not? There is no time to hesitate. It is time to decide now. We believe in you, we need your help. We believe in your people. We trust in the European Union, and we trust that Germany will be with us in the crucial moment, as well. Thank you! Slava Ukraini! [Glory to Ukraine]

It is obvious that Zelensky’s masters were trying to emotionally blackmail Hungary — by covertly branding Hungarians as ‘Nazi mass murderers’ unless the country gives her expected contribution to the war, on the side of Ukraine.

Yet, while accusing Hungary of Nazism, Zelensky concludes his video with the now infamous battle cry that is also used by the Ukrainian Nazi Azov Battalion: “Slava Ukraini” [Glory to Ukraine]. This is the same current of double-dealing Internazi politics that has endeavoured to flood Europe with huge masses of murderously Jew-hating Muslims — recently Hungary too, a country that is still a safe haven in Eurabia for Jews.

Since the video was posted, Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán has rejected the demands, making clear that the effects of the sanctions to be imposed on the energy imports from Russia would seriously endanger the Hungarian economy. On Hungarian state radio, PM Orbán went even further, saying that if the country stopped buying Russian oil and gas, it would literally stop the economy cold very soon.

The English-language Hungary Today writes:

Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán rejected the demands to take sides: “Hungary stands on Hungary’s side in the Russia-Ukraine war, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said after the EU and NATO summit in Brussels. […] PM Orbán stated that if sanctions are extended to energy, “the Hungarian economy will come under intolerable pressure, while the Russians might hardly notice it.”

Saman Abbas’ Cousin Clams Up

Posted on by

I’ve posted a number of times on the case of Saman Abbas, a young Pakistani woman in Italy who disappeared and is assumed to have been a victim of an “honor killing” (see previously here, here, here, here, here, and here).

This latest report concerns the same cousin that was featured in the last report, who was captured in Barcelona and has been extradited to Italy.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from Il Giornale:

Saman’s cousin doesn’t answer the magistrates

by Rosa Scognamiglio
March 25, 2022

Nomanhulaq Nomanhulaq, the cousin of Saman Abbas, did not respond to the questions of the prosecutor. “My client claims he is unrelated to the facts,” the lawyer says.

Nomanhulaq Nomanhulaq, the cousin of Saman Abbas, under investigation for murder and concealing the body of the young girl who disappeared on April 30, 2021, from Novellara, Reggio Emiliano, invoked his right to remain silent. “My client claims he is unrelated to the facts,” stated the attorney for the 35-year-old Pakistani, Luigi Scarcella, at the conclusion of the interrogation.

The interrogation

The interrogation began at 12 this morning. Nomanhulaq Nomanhulaq preferred not to answer the questions of prosecutor Laura Galli and investigating judge Luca Ramponi, chief of the investigation into the homicide of the 18-year-old Pakistani girl. The 35-year-old, in video hookup from the jail at Reggio Emilia where he has been held since last Tuesday, invoked the right of not answering, using, in fact, the same defensive strategy of Ikram Ijaz (the other cousin of Saman) and of the uncle, Danish Hasnain, considered by investigators to be the “material perpetrator of the crime”. There are still fugitives in Pakistan, however, the parents of the girl, Shabbar Abbas and Nazia Shaheen, for whom there is an international arrest warrant outstanding. According to the investigators, they are alleged to have planned the homicide of their first child because she was reportedly opposed to the forced marriage to a cousin in her homeland.

“Unrelated to the facts”

“My client contested all the charges against him and stated he was unrelated to the facts,” attorney Luigi Scarcella, lawyer for Nomanhulaq Nomanhulaq, noted at the conclusion of today’s hearing. The 35-year-old, a fugitive for more than nine months, was captured in Barcelona on February 14 following intense activity by the Investigative Unit of the Carabinieri of Reggio Emilia, assisted by the Police International Cooperation Service (SCIP) of the Department of Public Security. The extradition was concluded Tuesday morning when the Pakistani landed at the “Marconi” airport of Bologna. Escorted by Carabinieri of the Provincial Command of Reggio Emilia, he was then taken to the Reggio jail awaiting interrogation.

Four Cultural Enrichment Tales From Germany

Posted on by

Hellequin GB has translated four articles about the recent surge of new immigration into Germany. Most of these new arrivals are there as a direct result of the Russo-Ukrainian war, but even so they mainly include the familiar roster of ethnic groups from the Third World.

The first report concerns a violent Afghan “youth” who was apparently drunk when he attacked his victims.

From the regional news website Tag24:

Adolescent (17) hits people, two women end up in the clinic

Chemnitz — Near the Konkordiapark in Chemnitz , a 17-year-old attacked several people and injured them so badly that they had to be taken to a hospital.

At around 8:50 p.m., the police had to respond to Limbacher Strasse opposite the skating park. The youth from Afghanistan had previously freaked out after a verbal altercation and attacked several people with his hands and a belt. A girl (15) and two young women (18, 20) were injured. Both women were taken to hospital for further treatment by paramedics. A 14-year-old boy was also said to have been beaten. It is not known whether he was injured, as he left the scene before police arrived.

The emergency services called in were able to locate the alleged attacker. This was under the influence of alcohol — a test showed 1.72 per thousand.

The second article concerns Hanover’s plan to rent entire hotels in order to put up Ukrainian refugees.

From RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland (RND):

The city of Hanover wants to rent five hotels for Ukrainian refugees

The city of Hanover wants to rent hotels for Ukrainian refugees for several months. The goal is to be able to accommodate 10,000 people in Lower Saxony’s state capital. Two exhibition halls are currently being used for this purpose.

Hanover — In order to accommodate refugees from Ukraine, the city of Hanover now wants to rent five hotels, as reported by the Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung (HAZ) on Wednesday. “We will rent five hotels for the rest of the year,” said head of the regulatory department Axel von der Ohe (SPD) to the newspaper.

In addition, it will be checked whether vacant buildings might be used. As a target figure, Sylvia Bruns (FDP), head of the social affairs department, told the HAZ that 10,000 people from Ukraine would be accommodated in Lower Saxony’s state capital. They are careful when arranging accommodation in private apartments — “We can’t just put women and children in unknown apartments,” says Bruns.

The risk of abuse should not be underestimated.

There had already been warnings about dubious sleeping arrangements in Berlin, for example. There was talk of people at the main station specifically targeting women and children who had fled.

Europol also recently warned of exploitation by criminals.

Mene, Tekel, Perish!

Posted on by

Our Dutch correspondent H. Numan draws on historical parallels to analyze the likely consequences of the Russo-Ukrainian war.

Mene, tekel, perish!

by H. Numan

We’re about one month into the Russian invasion. The fog of war covers everything. It’s pretty clear Russia is not winning this war. Let’s have a look at the big picture.

Germany, before that the German Empire, and before that the Kingdom of Prussia, developed Blitzkrieg. Not the word; that was coined by British journalists in 1939. The Germans called it (still do) Bewegungskrieg. It was their answer to most of their military problems. Attack aggressively with everything you’ve got as fast as possible. It worked pretty well for them.

Russia has a very different strategy. They made sure their borders were far, far away. Really far away. No matter who attacked, they would invariably get stuck in the snow before reaching Moscow. Even Napoleon capturing the city didn’t deter them. They burned it down themselves, and continued the fight. That worked pretty well for them. Supposing the Wehrmacht had captured Moscow, it certainly wouldn’t have ended the war.

After World War 2 the USSR set up a large security zone to extend that wide border. Most of it consisted of occupied countries and Nazi allies during WW2, turned into vassal states. Other states, Finland, for example, were forced into benevolent neutrality. All gaps were closed or under Soviet control. Mother Russia was finally secured!

Socialists know nothing about economics. That’s a given. All they can do is spend money. Eventually they run out of it. A major contribution to the collapse of the USSR was the Chernobyl disaster. The cleanup costs exceeds $700 billion. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The USSR collapsed soon afterwards in 1991. The Warsaw Pact was dissolved. Many former republics within the USSR gained their independence. Among others, Ukraine.

The date 1991 is important. That’s forty-one years, or in Gettysburg terms: two score and a year ago. In other words: a very long time. That’s where Putin got it wrong. You see, people change over time. So do nations. Wishing for something doesn’t make it right. Putin firmly believes Russia deserves secure borders. Nothing wrong with that. So do I. In my opinion, the Dutch borders are only secure when we can observe German and French movements from our trenches just outside Paris and Berlin. (That’s a joke, folks!) See where Putin is wrong? He looks at a map. Picks the largest extent ever of Russia’s borders and works to reestablish them again. Regardless of what others think about it. Most do not want to be part of Russia again.

Times change. As simple as that. Time hasn’t been kind to Russia. One of the reasons why Ukraine among others does not want to be part of Russia again is the economy. Russia and North Korea have more in common than Putin likes to admit. Both have a pathetically small economy supporting way too big an army. The only real difference is the number of nukes. North Korea has just enough to secure its existence. Russia has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world. Both use theirs to prop up their economy. It’s not a coincidence that from the start of the war Putin threatened to use nukes, if he doesn’t get his way. To give you an idea, the German economy is slightly smaller than the Russian economy. If the Benelux together with Sweden and Austria compete economically with Russia, Russia loses.

The invasion idea wasn’t a bad one. “Let’s march into Ukraine, stomp some people and change the government.” It worked very well in the past. Kazakhstan and Belarus were reconquered that way. They are independent countries in name, but in reality parts of Russia. It worked to a lesser extent also in Georgia and Moldova. There they didn’t change the regimes, but set up “independent” enclaves. Just enough for the moment. Georgia and Moldova are more independent than Belarus, but not a lot. By the way, reconquering Moldova was also part of the invasion plan for Ukraine. The troops are already there.

At first Russia did the same in Ukraine. The Crimean peninsula was annexed, after a rather silly referendum. A referendum the way dictators always want it: with a nearly unanimous yes vote. Had Hitler and Putin been really clever, they would have invited the entire world to witness the referendum. Made scrupulously sure the referendum was fair and honest. In both cases it was certain more than 65% would vote yes, far more than required. By going for the illusive 99% they showed the world it was all bogus.

Of Eyeballs and Face Masks

Posted on by

As most of you know, I have to visit the retinologist’s office every couple of months to get an injection in my left eye to treat choroidal neovascularization (wet macular degeneration). That’s where I was this afternoon, and, as usual, I’m not yet back to full functionality here at the keyboard. So I’ll just give my observations on the Corona situation as it is currently evolving.

When I got to the doctor’s office, I noticed that the “masks required” note was gone from the front door. That cheered me up no end, and I stuffed the mask back into my pocket. Everyone else in the place, however, seemed to be still wearing their face nappies. That didn’t bother me — if it’s not required, I’m not going to wear the [vulgar intensifier] thing.

I found out later that the change in rules had trickled down from the top: the retinologist himself was no longer wearing a mask, and he was the ONLY member of the staff who didn’t have one on. We got to see each other’s faces for the first time in two years.

I really like that guy, and I think his staff must like him, too, because a number of the highest-level technicians have been there since the first time I went in nine years ago.

All the patients in the waiting room were good little drones with their masks on. But after I had received my dilation drops and been ushered into the back waiting room, I noticed there was a woman there of roughly my age who was also unmasked. A few minutes later a married couple, also my age or maybe a little older, sat down opposite me. Both of them had their masks on. However, after we said hello, I think they must have noticed my (horrors!) bare face, and decided, what the heck, they’d live dangerously — they took off their masks, and the wife stuffed them into her handbag.

It made me wonder how many other people out there are like that: ready to be mask-free again, but too timid to bin the stupid things until they see someone else do it.

After my ordeal was over, with my shades on and the annoying air bubble dancing in my left eye, I went to Wegmans to do some shopping, especially for wine. I noticed that there were even fewer masked people in the store than there were last time. This maskless trend really seems to be catching on.

And, once again, people who were roughly my age — in their 60s or 70s — were more likely to be bare-faced than younger people were. I had noticed the same thing back during the height of the plague, when I was often almost the only maskless person in the store: if there were other unmasked customers, they were usually geezers in my age group. This was true both before and after the vax came in.

I don’t know why it’s that way, but it’s quite noticeable: old people are more likely to eschew the mask. Make of it what you will.

Michael Mannheimer’s Final Post?

Posted on by


Hans-Dietrich Genscher

Long-time readers will remember Michael Mannheimer, the German author and activist who was featured here a number of times beginning in 2010 (his archive is here).

A couple of days ago I received this note from a reader:

I think Michael Mannheimer (a.k.a. Karl-Michael Markle) has died. I know you have worked with him in the past.

I noticed he did not blog/comment for a week, I went looking.

His dying comments… He’d been “poisoned”, arsenic.

I don’t know where he lived (in exile), I think maybe Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam or somewhere like that. But he stated he’d never felt so bad, could not get medical assistance. And then all went silent.

It could be that he’s in hospital. But I fear the worst.

Then yesterday an obituary was posted on his website.

I have no independent verification of Mr. Mannheimer’s death. However, Hellequin GB has kindly translated what may be the author’s final post:

NATO expansion to the east: Russia was disgracefully deceived, lied to and duped. Now it is striking back in military self-defense

The reversal of what was once good into absolute evil

After the Bolshevik revolution in 1917, at the time of millions of mass shootings, at the time of the Jewish-run gulags, at the time of the three Ukrainian holodomors and later, in the time of the Cold War, the bad guys were the countries of the Soviet Union. And the countries of the West, above all the USA, were considered the good guys. But the further the Cold War recedes in history, the more information from the past decades emerges, and the more questionable the above-mentioned axiom of the good West and the bad East becomes. There is no question: for the majority of the people living there, the West as a whole was considerably freer than the East. But as far as politics is concerned, I see less and less of a difference between the two power blocs. Not the USSR, but the USA is by far the most warlike country in modern times.

USA: over 200 wars since its inception

In the 231 years since its founding, the United States of America has itself fought a total of 219 wars, intervened militarily or been involved in acts similar to war, for example through secret service involvement in terrorist attacks, attempted coups and coups on the territory of another state. The USA itself was not attacked once. The list below on the sources of this chapter makes it impressively clear that the aggressive policy currently being pursued against Russia in the Ukraine conflict is no exception, but has been a tradition for centuries. The systematic warfare of the USA and its vassals has now developed into an essential and important branch of the economy, comparable to mechanical engineering in Germany. Defense companies and the finance and investment industry earn billions from wars and armed conflicts. So we have every reason to be concerned. Because a war against Russia would be just one more item on a never-ending list of more than 200 acts of war committed. Everyone should now be able to answer their own question as to who is the number one terrorist state in the world. Since the end of World War II, from 1946 to the present, US government wars have claimed nearly seven million lives. Mind you, without the dead of both world wars.

The US has eliminated all of its opponents one by one with the help of the CIA, massive arms shipments, military and economic logistics. The US Vietnam War, which is said to have started with a ridiculous attack by a small Vietnamese boat on a US aircraft carrier in the Gulf of Tonkin, was a clear false flag action by the Americans.

Henry Kissinger launched what is believed to be the largest wave of bombings since World War II in all of world history against North Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. No country in the world, including Germany and Japan, has been as devastated by carpet bombing as tiny Southeast Asian Laos. Without these bombings there would have been no Pol Pot, no Khmer Rouge and no genocide in Cambodia. Nevertheless, Kissinger received the Nobel Peace Prize for his “peacekeeping mission”. This prize should be abolished for all time without ifs and buts. The mass murderer Arafat received it (billions of euros given to him by the EU for the construction of Palestine were found in his private accounts),Obama even received it before taking up his presidency — and as it turned out later, there was no president in US history who waged more wars during his tenure than the “Nobel Peace Prize Laureate” and Muslim-by-birth Barack Hussein Obama.

The current conflict in Ukraine also came primarily from the United States, which wants to weaken Russia and present it as an aggressor. The military media complex of the US Deep State works so perfectly that the vast majority of people fall for the lies of the media regarding alleged Russian atrocities. But it’s exactly the opposite: since Maidan 2015, the right-wing fascist government in Kyiv, which is close to National Socialism, has brutally slaughtered tens of thousands of Russians. ( I reported in detail: Ukraine: “The daily and bestial terror, including mass murder of Russians living in Ukraine, which was hushed up by the West”). All of them are citizens of Ukraine who have been living there for centuries — whereby the fascist government in Kyiv is massively supported by NATO and also by the unspeakable regime of the Federal Republic of Germany, in which the “fight against the right” and against “National Socialism” is evident in a strange way that is only limited to the FRG, while it is courted with all honors in countries like the Ukraine.
