The Beatification of St. Angela

Posted on by

The great thing about secular sainthood is that a doubleplusgood dignitary doesn’t have to die, but instead is permitted to enjoy the perks of beatification and canonization before he or she shuffles off this mortal coil.

Now seems to be the turn of St. Angela the Bountiful. She lavished so many boons on millions of arriving culture-enrichers from 2015 to 2021 that she has been granted the privilege of dwelling in resplendent radiance for the remainder of her time here on Earth.

Merkel receives prize for refugee policy

“A lesson she leaves to history”: In 2015, ex-Chancellor Merkel decided to open Germany to refugees. Now she has been honored for it.

Former Chancellor Angela Merkel has been awarded the Peace Prize by the UN cultural organization UNESCO. “The entire jury was touched by her courageous decision in 2015 to take in more than 1.2 million refugees, particularly from Syria , Iraq, Afghanistan and Eritrea ,” said the president of the jury and 2018 Nobel Peace Prize winner Denis Mukwege in Paris. “It’s a lesson she leaves to history.” [Just like Adolf, Josef, Vladimir, Attila…]

UNESCO Director General Audrey Azoulay also paid tribute to Merkel’s commitment. “Peacemaking is also about opening doors for those who are suffering,” she explained. [And then slammed the door into the face of the victims of her policy afterwards.] “The jury’s decision is a reminder that welcoming migrants and refugees is a key concern.” [Especially when your crime rates are far too low if you want to expand the police to a State Thug Force for the better control of the law-abiding citizens.]

The prize is named after the former head of state of Ivory Coast, Félix Houphouët-Boigny. The Peace Prize has been awarded every year since 1989 to people, organizations or institutions that have made special efforts to promote, research or secure peace. It is not yet clear when the prize will be awarded to Merkel.

Culture-Enriching Nightmare in Piacenza

Posted on by

Early last Sunday morning a 55-year-old female Ukrainian refugee was raped by an African culture-enricher on the street in the Italian city of Piacenza. Giorgia Meloni, who is the leader of Fratelli d’Italia and will likely be prime minister after next month’s elections, used a video of the attack in one of her campaign ads. By doing so she caused a storm of controversy, with critics accusing her of “electioneering” with the Ukrainian woman’s suffering — as if the horrific incident were something voters should remain unaware of.

The following video report provides details about the incident in Piacenza. Many thanks to HeHa for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling:

RBB: A Family Affair

Posted on by

Below is another article in the “Nice Work If You Can Get It” series, this time focusing on the corrupt use of taxpayers’ money by the employees of German public broadcasting.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from JournalistenWatch. The translator’s comments are in square brackets:

Nepotism and lies: RBB [Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg, Berlin-Brandenburg Broadcast] has been paying employees who have left the company salaries for doing nothing for years

The public ulcer seems to be hemorrhaging: the affair surrounding RBB boss Patricia Schlesinger is expanding. Internal documents now incriminate the longstanding administrative director and new director Hagen Brandstätter. It seems that employees who have left the public self-service shop have been paid for doing nothing for years.

The news site Business Insider — operated by Axel Springer SE — not only brought down the top parasite Patricia Schlesinger, but is now also revealing a secret bonus system. After Schlesinger’s departure, RBB is said to have promoted the wife of legal director Susann Lange to the management board, despite internal criticism. Susanne Lange’s wife, HR manager Sylvie Deléglis, was responsible for the bonus system, from which the RBB executives benefited like leeches. Only recently, due to Schlesinger’s departure, the head of human resources was promoted to Administrative Director. The lesbian couple is now jointly on the management board.

Nepotism also seems to be an essential element of everyday work at NDR, which is affiliated with ARD. There, the partner of the director of the broadcasting center in Hamburg, Sabine Rossbach, has received up to €50,000 a year for “external advice” since April 2018. As Business Insider further reports, the Public Broadcaster — i.e. the compulsory fee collector — has been paying salaries to retired employees for years for doing nothing under the responsibility of the impertinent and aloof Mr. Brandstätter. People familiar with the process confirm to the intelligence service, under assurances of anonymity, that internal plans are in place to continue this practice in some cases until the beneficiaries retire. [No wonder they need to squeeze more money from the people all the time.]

In the meantime, new anomalies come to light every week, all of which prove how the public broadcasters are leeching off the money of the contributors and have long since made the shop their prey. It is the management team and not the little cameraman who, in shameless self-enrichment, stuff their pockets full. Apparently one has gotten rid of all control mechanisms. “Forcibly financed broadcasting is morally and politically finished,” sums up the AfD Politician Wolfgang Wiehle. It is a system — funded with €8.4 billion from compulsory contributions in 2021 alone — that has degenerated into a largely uncontrolled self-service shop for decades.

The Long Hot Autumn

Posted on by

The following article looks ahead to the coming cold season in Germany, when a fuel shortage and severe price inflation are expected to fuel popular discontent, which may include violent street protests.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Die Welt. The translator’s comments are in square brackets:

Defense of Constitution

Right-wing extremists stir up fears of a “hot autumn”

Refugees, Corona and now energy prices? The Office for the Protection of the Constitution warns that extreme groups and Russia could use the current crises specifically for mobilization. Saxony could once again become a hotspot, says a social researcher.

The Office for the Protection of the Constitution warns that extreme groups and Russia want to use the current crises to split society in Germany. [I guess they don’t like competition when it comes to splitting society.] It is observed that a radicalized minority of right-wing extremists, so-called “delegitimizers”, Reich citizens and conspiracy theorists are positioning themselves, said the president of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Thomas Haldenwang, on Wednesday.

The groups, which partially overlap, tried to use issues such as the war in Ukraine, high inflation and the Corona pandemic to mobilize. “To make matters worse, Russia uses instruments such as cyber attacks and disinformation as hybrid levers to divide society in Germany,” said Haldenwang.

However, it is still unclear how large the mobilization potential actually is. “So far there have been no signs of widespread anti-state protests or even violent mass riots,” said Haldenwang.

Energy crisis is seen as a consequence of the sanctions policy

Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz had also said that, despite rising energy prices, he did not expect a “hot autumn” and unrest in Germany. However, there are warnings from various federal and state ministers that a “hot autumn” could be on the horizon, for example if the price increases for energy take full effect or there is a gas shortage. There were indications that protests such as the Monday demonstrations could increase again.

The situation is being observed very carefully, and it has been seen, for example with right-wing extremists, that the resentments and problems in everyday life among the population are being exploited and fears are deliberately fanned “in order to undermine trust in the state, government and democracy in the long term,” explains the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV). Inflation and the energy crisis are presented as direct consequences of the current Western sanctions policy and not the Russian attack on Ukraine. [Because the WEF-approved shoe fits perfectly.]

In addition to the Corona pandemic, which has been driving the so-called Querdenker (“lateral thinker”) movement since 2020, other groups are now also exploiting the Ukraine war and fears of inflation. The deliberate spread of conspiracy theories plays a role in this. [How can these be conspiracy theories when the players are quite open about their intentions?]

Michael Stürzenberger Bashed in Gladbeck

Posted on by

We’ve been reporting for more than ten years on the activities of the German Islam critic Michael Stürzenberger, who is most famous for his presentations on Islam staged on Saturdays in downtown Munich.

Mr. Stürzenberger has been prosecuted multiple times for his “hate speech”, and is no stranger to physical attacks at the hands of angry Muslims. In the past I’ve posted at least one video of him being beaned with a rock by an irate culture-enricher.

Last week Mr. Stürzenberger was beaned again, this time in Gladbeck, a town in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Below are excerpts from his own video footage recorded at the event.

Malmö: Caught in the Culture-Enriching Crossfire

Posted on by

On Friday two groups of rambunctious “Swedish” “youths” in the city of Malmö got into a disagreement, and by the time their issues had been settled, one person was dead and another was severely wounded.

The badly wounded victim was a passerby who just happened to be in the shopping center when the squabble broke out, and got caught in the crossfire (it sounds like Chicago or Philadelphia to me). In the following video, Malmö Police Chief Petra Stenkula answers reporters’ questions about the violence in Malmö.

Below is an article about the incident from Samhällsnytt (also translated by Gary Fouse):

One of the shooting victims in Malmö was a female passerby

August 20, 2022

One of the two persons shot Friday in the middle of the Emporia Shopping Center in Malmö was a woman who was just passing by when a criminal migrant opened fire with a gun.

Criticism is now directed at the government, which maintained that the risk for third parties of being in the way of immigrant gangs’ bullets is, “very, very small,” and for the fact that deadly shootings are breaking record after record under the rule of the Social Democrats.

The woman is now being treated in the hospital for serious gunshot wounds and is likely to suffer lifelong injuries. The 31-year-old man who was also shot and later died was, like the shooter, a non-Western migrant and involved in serious criminal gang activity.

The arrested suspect is reportedly only 15 years old. He will, therefore, under the Swedish rules for reduced sentences for youth which the Social Democrats pushed through and chose to continue to maintain, be sentenced to a very short prison sentence or eventually only juvenile custody.

The sitting Social Democrat single-party government and the earlier red-green coalition, which also included the Environmental Party, have received scathing criticism for what many consider their left-liberal, lax criminal policy and lack of concern concerning armed, immigrant-related gang crime.

2022 new record year for number of shooting deaths

The number of gang shootings resulting in death during the last two years of the mandate period during which the Social Democrats have ruled the country has broken one record after the other, and 2022 is on track to be the year with the most murders and armed gang violence ever. Ever more often, these disputes also take place in public places without regard to the fact that there are a large number of people present who risk death or injury.

A number of such cases have also occurred in recent years. In Botkyrka, south of Stockholm, a girl just 12 years old was shot to death in connection with a criminal gang drive-by shooting. She was out walking the family dog. In the Stockholm suburb of Flemingsberg, even younger children were hit by bullets as they played in a sandlot, and criminal gang migrants showed up with weapons in hand.

Welcome to the Machine

Posted on by

The following essay and translation by our Hungarian correspondent László is a follow-up to last month’s report on chipping.

The chip-loving Hungarian celebrity Vanda Schumacher reminds me of Nicole Kidman, who made a PSA video recently in which she eats yummy mealworms (using chopsticks). Don’t watch the video of her feast if you have an overactive gag reflex.

An actress of her stature doesn’t do that sort of promo for free, and Nicole Kidman is VERY expensive. She is known to have a taste for insects, but we may still assume that somebody paid a lot of money to videotape her promoting the consumption of mealworms by humans. Hmm…

You Vill Merge With Ze Machines, Like It or Not

by László

The latest round of the cringe-inducing microchip implant propaganda in Hungary. The point is that it is not some fringe piece hidden in a dark corner of the Internet: 24.hu, which published it, is a huge mainstream media outlet. The general public is now being bombarded with this nightmarish globalist dystopia that is being gradually introduced. No need for further explanations: just turn on your implanted new-normal decoders.

Chip implanted under the skin is not satanic, and it is not a surveillance device

People tend to be irrationally afraid of new technologies anyway, but recently no development has provoked such strong emotions as the subcutaneous chip. But whether you like it or not, this is the not-so-distant future.

Although this summer, with its austerity measures, the collapse of the forint exchange rate, extreme heat waves and other frightening symptoms of climate change, is not the least bit like the usual silly season news frenzy, the TV presenter and actress Vanda Schumacher still managed to blast a huge news bomb when she said she wanted to have a chip implanted in the back of her hand because she believes it is the future.

She has since had the tiny operation in Zurich and now feels like a real cyberpunk. Here’s a quote from her Instagram post about the procedure:

“I have a 28mm chip implanted in my hand, that contains a transmitter similar to a bank card, which allows me to pay anywhere with a swipe of my finger without a phone, money or card. It may seem strange at first, but it will make my life a lot easier, because you see how much I travel, what adventures I go through, and because I get mugged every three months or so, it makes me feel safer.”

If you want to follow in the footsteps of Vanda Schumacher, you don’t necessarily have to travel all the way to Switzerland.

Gábor Zagyvai, who is the only one in Hungary who deals with extreme body modifications other than tattoos and piercings, will soon also be doing chip implantation. He says that although there are several types of electronic implants that can be inserted under the skin, the chip that Schumacher chose for payment is currently the most popular.

Money under the skin, too

The pay-chip and the IT background behind it are the product of London-based Walletmor. Their application is a virtual wallet connected to the chip. You can load as much money as you want into it from your bank account, and you can manage as much money as you want without having a bank card, phone, smart watch or anything else.

The biocompatible coating of the chip, which means that it can be implanted under the skin, is provided by a US company called Dangerous Things. They made the world’s first NFC implant available to anyone in 2013. NFC (Near Field Communication) technology works by generating a small magnetic field from a receiver, such as a bank card terminal, which, if the implant is close enough to it, induces enough energy from the field to communicate with the terminal for a short period of time. This means that the implant has no energy source of its own and does not emit any radiation. It is like a contactless bank card, but much smaller.

The implantation process is simple, and it takes about fifteen minutes: proper preparation of the skin surface, a tiny incision, then two stitches after the careful insertion of the implant. According to Zagyvai, replacing the chip won’t be any more complicated — he doesn’t think the silicone shell will adhere to the connective tissue, but as it’s a completely new thing, there’s no experience with this yet.

Replacement will be necessary, because the implant has an eight-year expiry date. This does not mean that when it expires, the device will start to cause damage to the body, it will just stop working because it will not be compatible with the constantly evolving technology.

Implants are usually placed in the back of the hand because that is where they are most practical, but they can basically be placed anywhere. If you use the back of your hand a lot, like in martial arts, and you hit the bamboo with your bare hand all day, it might be better to put it a little higher up in the forearm, says Zagyvai, adding that the implant is so thin and flexible that anything can happen, but it’s hard to imagine an accident that could cause injury. It is safer than an earring or any kind of body jewellery.

Blaspheming Against Gaia

Posted on by

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Report24. The translator’s comments are in square brackets:

1,100 scientists declare in manifesto: There is no Climate Emergency!

A total of around 1,100 scientists from all over the world are opposing the climate madness, which not only threatens global prosperity, but is also being used by the World Economic Forum and its supporters for a dystopian agenda.

Is the global climate changing? Yes of course it is. And has been for billions of years since we have had an atmosphere on this planet. Does man have any influence on it? Most likely, although obviously not to the extent that the followers of the new Climate Religion would like it to be with their prophetess Greta, who is largely promoted by the elites. [And makes tons of money through it, wink, wink…]

At least approximately 1,100 scientists and experts from all over the world are of this opinion. So much more than one would expect if one follows the common media narrative, which claims that the so-called “climate emergency” caused by anthropogenic climate change is a global scientific consensus.

The Global Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel Group) has released a statement entitled “There is no climate emergency”. This declaration was signed by more than 1,100 scientists and experts from around the world, led by Norwegian-American Nobel laureate and physicist Professor Ivar Giaever. It says:

  • Warming caused by natural as well as anthropogenic factors — The geological record shows that the Earth’s climate has varied throughout the planet’s existence, with natural cold and warm periods. The Little Ice Age didn’t end until 1850, so it’s not surprising that we’re now experiencing a period of warming.
  • Warming is much slower than predicted — The world has warmed significantly less than projected by the IPCC based on modeled anthropogenic impacts. The gap between the real world and the modeled world shows us that we are far from understanding climate change. [Just because they managed to convince the gullible that they can see into the future.]
  • Climate policy relies on imperfect models — climate models have many flaws and are not remotely plausible as global policy tools. They inflate the effect of greenhouse gases such as CO2. They also ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial. [It should be obvious to even the dumbest, that since these are computer models you can get the outcome you want every time with the numbers you give in. Just like in 2 x 2 = 4.]
  • CO2 is plant food, the basis for all life on Earth — CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential for all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is good for nature because it makes the Earth greener: Additional CO2 in the air has promoted the growth of global plant biomass. It’s also good for agriculture, increasing crop yields around the world.
  • Global warming has not led to more natural disasters — There is no statistical evidence that global warming is increasing or making hurricanes, floods, droughts and similar natural disasters more frequent. However, there is ample evidence that mitigation measures are as harmful as they are costly. [But only for the slaves.]
  • Climate policy must take into account the scientific and economic realities — There is no climate emergency. Therefore there is no reason for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero carbon policies proposed for 2050. As better approaches emerge, and they certainly will, we will have plenty of time to reflect and re-adapt. The goal of global politics should be “prosperity for all” by providing reliable and affordable energy at all times. In a prosperous society, both men and women are well educated, the birth rate is low, and people care about their environment. [You just said it, “prosperous society”, not something the Church of Climate-Theology wants. They managed to get those in certain high-IQ demographics to an almost extinction level through “education” and the jab, while in the low-IQ demographic they made them flourish. Dumb slaves are certainly easier to manipulate.]

More Ructions at Ter Apel

Posted on by

I posted on Tuesday about ructions at the asylum center at Ter Apel in the Netherlands. Apparently the situation there has deteriorated further, with culture-enrichers now openly carrying knives in front of the facility.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from Algemeen Dagblad:

Ter Apel mayor: “People are walking around in front of the asylum center with bladed weapons”

In front of the reception center in Ter Apel, people are walking around with bladed weapons. That is the opinion of Mayor Jaap Velema from Westerwolde, who has designated the area in front of the asylum center as a risk area. He wants the cabinet “in the coming days” to devise measures to relieve the asylum center. Otherwise, a partial closing is coming.

by Sander van Mersbergen
August 19, 2022

In the last two weeks, the situation has gotten worse than it was, Velema says in a conversation with this site. “There are more and more people, and there are more and more violent incidents. Therefore we must take a step forward and designate the area in front of the reception areas as a safety-risk area.”

According to the mayor, the violence is mainly caused by asylum seekers from safe countries in North Africa. “They are in the asylum process, staying in Ter Apel, and are responsible for shoplifting, nuisance offenses, and also theft from other asylum seekers. Then they steal their cell phones, and that leads to disturbances.”

Tent pegs

The mayor states that some asylum seekers have “improvised stabbing weapons”, scissors, for example. “And also this: This week, we have taken away tents from in front of the reception center. A considerable number of pegs were left. The possibility exists that these could also be used as weapons. Therefore, we want the police to be able to preventively search risk groups and increase video camera surveillance.”

The aim of the operation is to be able to better guarantee safety for harmless asylum seekers and the employees of the Central Agency for Reception of Asylum Seekers and Immigration and Naturalization Service, for example. But the step taken this Friday is no solution, Velema warns. “The government must set up a central place in the country where asylum seekers are received, so that from there they only go to Ter Apel by appointment. Asylum seekers must have clarity concerning their procedure. That is missing now.”

Velema states that he wants to see a quick improvement. “The cabinet, the provinces, and the municipalities must take steps in the coming days. Two-thirds of the municipalities are still doing nothing upon reception. In the north, meanwhile, we have prepared an emergency order, which also provides for the partial closure of the application center here. That is a decision by the chairman of the regional security here in close consultation with me. As far as I am concerned the moment when that comes up is getting closer.”

It has been a busy week in front of the doors of the application center in Ter Apel. The people who are there during the day, are waiting for the first or next step in their asylum procedure. Due to a personnel shortage and a lack of flow in the asylum chain, the procedure is now very chaotic. The intention is that the asylum seekers who cannot go directly to a reception center could spend the night in an emergency shelter, but not all asylum seekers want that. They fear that they will lose their place in line if they sleep anywhere but Ter Apel.

Horny For Violence

Posted on by

The following interview with a serving German police officer highlights the increasing use of violence used by police against peaceful demonstrators, especially in Berlin.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Boris Reitschuster’s website. The translator’s comments are in square brackets:

Berlin police: conditions like those in an authoritarian regime

Terrifying insider report: “They feel themselves to be above the law”

These are statements that take your breath away. What the Berlin policeman Martin Schmidt (name changed) reports after 27 years in the senior civil service in the capital is unbelievable. And sheds a frightening light on the conditions of the law enforcement officers, who, because of their brutality in dealing with demonstrators, were even targeted by the UN report on torture at the time, who spoke of a “culture of police violence”; two people died after brutal police operations (see here and here). The interview with the police officer makes it clear: the police are really being incited; they are thugs out for violence. [That’s why I call them “State Thug Force”.] And, just as incredible: Alleged non-governmental organizations that are paid for with tax money for red-green hatred and agitation, such as the “Golden Aluminum Hat”, are used in “political education” to incite officials against government critics. The state of affairs is a description as if from an authoritarian regime, which the official delivers. And which makes it clear: the police and their political leadership feel themselves above the law.

Read the interview here, a guest article by Sophia-Maria Antonulas (text) and Tilo Gräser (image):

What was your motivation to become a police officer?

Martin Schmidt: I was concerned with justice, with protecting the weak and fighting crime. That’s why I went into the police. I’ve long had this notion that the police protect good from evil. But the police don’t do that anymore. I didn’t change, but the coordinate system shifted. Today I’ve come to the point where I cannot and do not want to do my job any longer.

After 27 years of service, it’s definitely going to take a lot to resign from your job soon. What was the trigger?

My inner resignation is a process that began a few years ago and reached its climax during the Corona crisis. The police operations conducted with merciless severity against critics of the Corona measures, the blunt action according to double standards and the disproportionate police violence, which I also had to see personally as an eyewitness, made me sick in the truest sense of the word. It has become painfully clear to me that I can no longer continue in my duty, which I have done with passion and great commitment for so many years.

As a police officer, you have taken an oath to uphold the constitution of the State of Berlin and the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Yes, that’s why I’m so shocked that since March 2020 it has been possible to enforce the abolition of the unchangeable basic rights without much resistance — all under the pretext of wanting to protect the population from a virus. This breach of law was legalized when Parliament passed amendments to the Infection Protection Act and declared a pandemic situation of national concern. Instead of insisting on compliance with law and order, on proportionality and the protection of fundamental rights, the police have unfortunately made themselves the vicarious agent of an encroaching state.

How do police officers feel when they have to enforce nonsensical measures, get people off the trains, close restaurants, or stop the forming of political parties, dissolve family reunions? Why are police officers chasing young people in the park with their police car just because they are hugging?
