…Limoges, that is.

I would be remiss if I failed to point out that the deadly violence discussed in this report was part of an enricher vs. enricher encounter, Pakis vs. Turks.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from France Bleu:

Limoges: A young adolescent Turk (16) stabbed to death in the middle of town on Christmas Eve.

A tragedy on Monday at the end of the day in Limoges. A 16-year-old adolescent, of Turkish nationality, was stabbed to death in the middle of Limoges. An investigation for voluntary homicide has been opened. Five persons, Pakistani minors, have been placed in custody.

A young man of 16, of Turkish nationality and living in an educational and social support home for minors in Isle, was stabbed to death on Monday 25 December in the late afternoon in downtown Limoges, on rue Amphitheater, between Winston Churchill Square and Orsay Garden. According to a source close to the investigation, a group of four persons, Turkish minors, including the victim, were attacked by a gang of 6-7 persons at Winston Churchill Square.

According to the same source, the 16-year-old youth, stabbed with two knife cuts in the back, collapsed a few meters further on along rue Amphitheater, where passersby saw him and called emergency personnel. He was treated (at the scene) around 5pm on Monday evening and then transported to CHU [Central University Hospital] of Limoges where he died an hour later from his wounds.

Several people in custody

The use of video surveillance cameras confirmed that there was a fight between two groups before they separated and fled in two opposite directions. The Anti-Crime Brigade (BAC) subsequently arrested five Pakistani minors, of no fixed abode, in the same sector, who corresponded to the individuals from the video surveillance images. They were taken into custody Monday evening. No knives were found in their possession.

An investigation has been opened by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Limoges into voluntary homicide, and the Interdepartmental Directorate of the National Police (DIPN), formerly the Judicial Police, has been assigned.

“Property is robbery! Smash the state!”

It looks like the old communist slogan has been updated for Modern Multicultural Germany, with culture-enrichers filling in for the Vanguard of the Proletariat.

Left-wing politician justifies theft by migrants: “They get back what they are entitled to”

Asylum seekers clear out an Edeka store in Regensburg in an organized manner. A left-wing politician from Berlin celebrates this and approves of the theft: the criminals were only taking back “what they are entitled to.”

The operator of an Edeka market in Regensburg made an angry post on Facebook. In it he complains about systematic thefts by asylum seekers from North Africa and speaks of “organized crime”. Asylum seekers from the nearby reception center were always walking into his shop, fill their pockets and leave. Chocolate, vodka and high-priced gourmet goods are among the stolen goods. For example, an asylum seeker who was caught stole goods worth around €140.

The story from Regensburg circulated nationwide and even made it into the Bild. This also drew the attention of the left-wing politician Ferat Koçak. Koçak sits for the Left in the Berlin House of Representatives, where, among other things, he is the parliamentary group spokesman for refugee policy. He now celebrates the mass thefts.

After all, the Edeka supermarket chain resulted from the merger of grocery retailers; the name comes from an acronym for “Purchasing Cooperative of Colonial Grocers.” According to the left-wing politician Koçak, it is this circumstance that allows asylum seekers to commit gang theft. “I would say that people are taking back what is rightfully theirs,” he writes. In his post he further explains that asylum seekers are essentially being forced to steal because “the authorities are overloaded and many refugees are not even paid what they need to live.” A theory without evidence.

Edeka once traded in goods from all over the world, including from colonies — nothing about that entitles a man from the Maghreb to steal, over 100 years later. The left-wing politician did not respond to outraged user messages. But the letters and suggestions in the comments section are creative: one user asks whether East Germans would then also be allowed to clear out the property of his party, the renamed SED. “I hope all the people who lived in the East during the GDR era will help themselves from you and your party comrades. After all, they stole money from these people.”

The Muslim Brotherhood in Sweden, Part 16

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from Fria Tider:

Charges filed against thesis that Sweden is infiltrated by Muslims

December 20, 2023

The thesis “Global political Islam? Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic Federation in Sweden” at Lund University is the subject of charges by the controversial Ethics Review Appeals Board (Önep).

In the thesis, which was approved earlier this year by Lund University, Sameh Egyptson writes about the way Islamists tied to the Muslim Brotherhood are infiltrating Swedish society.

He himself describes the 744-page-long study as the result of twenty years of work.

The Ethics Review Appeals Board (Önep), a controversial state board of leftwing activists, has now filed charges against the study. According to Önep, the thesis handles sensitive personal information connected with political and religious beliefs, as well as information concerning criminal court judgments without the necessary ethics review permission.

“I have not used a single interview or secret document; everything comes from open sources,” says Sameh Egyptson himself to Sydsvenskan.

Önep’s attempt to stop politically incorrect studies has drawn attention recently. Earlier this year, over 2,000 researchers signed an open letter to members of Parliament that demanded a change to the Swedish system of so-called ethics review.

Fria Tider has previously written about the way left-wing activists in Önep attempted to have Professor Kristina Sundquist of Lund University convicted of a crime because she researched immigrant rapes. The case ended with the prosecutor dropping the preliminary investigation this past summer.

Prior to this, Önep was reported to JO [Parliamentary Ombudsman] by Academic Rights Watch, which explained the members’ leftwing activist commitment and comical fight against “racism”.

Chairperson Ann-Christine Lindeblad herself, as a member of the judiciary, among other things, handed down a controversial decision in 2019 that made it significantly more difficult to deport convicted immigrant rapists. In the meantime, the 69-year-old was forced out of her position after she was caught shoplifting.

Forget Having White Children — Import Culture-Enrichers Instead

Posted on by

Verena Brunschweiger is an Austrian author and progressive activist who advocates for white European women to remain childless, while the inflow of “migrants” from Africa and the Middle East should be increased, all in order to save the planet.

Below is a video in which Ms. Brunschweiger speaks her mind, and the accompanying article from the Austrian portal Heimatkurier, both translated by Hellequin GB. The translator’s comments are in square brackets.

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

ORF “expert” considers European children to be “racist”

African immigrants instead of Austrian children — this model was recently openly called for by a climate activist in the ORF news program Zeit im Bild. Driven by the cult of guilt, she wants to persuade whites and Europeans not to have children. In the “ZIB3” program on Wednesday, a climate activist tried to explain why it would be racist for a European to have children. Consumed by self-hatred, she is allowed to express her crazy theses on ORF [Österreichischer Rundfunk, Austrian public broadcasting], while opponents of population exchange do not receive a minute of airtime.

Children as “Aryan CO2 flingers?” [Does that mean only white children exhale CO2? Well I guess now we know which race we have to thank for our survival; after all, CO2 is LIFE.]

The actors on the German-speaking left keep overtaking each other when it comes to who wants to wipe out their people the fastest. From NGOs helping migrants storm the European continent as quickly as possible, to absurd ethnomasochistic statements. Such a particularly disgusting statement was allowed to be broadcast directly on ORF last Wednesday.

A climate activist suggests not having European children and instead wants to bring people from Africa, Asia and Latin America to Europe. This is even our duty: “What do we say to those who come to us? Do we say, no, we have so many Aryan people of our own that we can’t use you? I find this incredibly racist and ruthless without equal — and it is our damn duty that we take back our production method…”

Guilt cult in practice

In effect, Brunschweiger is calling for people to commit suicide. In their twisted world, every white child born is merely a burden on the climate. As is often the case with leftists, in their worldview Europeans are responsible for all the world’s ills. This thinking and the resulting undermining of one’s own self-assertion and reproduction are direct consequences of the guilt cult that has been instilled for decades.

Collective suicide as a duty?

For a people that wants to exist in the world, this situation is a catastrophe. Right-wing politicians such as Roger Beckamp and Maximilian Krah have made it their mission to break with this thinking. A task that will by no means be easy, but must be completed if we want to give our people a chance for a future.

Merry Christmas, everybody!

The weather at the moment doesn’t look anything like the photo at the top, which was taken here at Schloss Bodissey in February of 2006. It just seemed seasonally appropriate. Right now it’s actually quite mild, and semi-overcast. There’s been almost no snow so far this season.

The future Baron is here. We’ll be having a nice Christmas dinner in a little while, so posting will be light. I hope you all have a joyous Christmas.

Woe to Cologne

Ah, nothing gets me in the Christmas mood quite like Jersey barriers, body armor, and automatic weapons at the Christmas markets!

Back in 2015 and 2016, in the wake of the Great Migration Crisis in Germany, we reported here extensively on all the culture-enriching doings in the area around the Cathedral in Cologne, especially the gropin’-and-rapin’ high jinks on New Year’s Eve (Silvesternacht). Now it looks like the good citizens of Cologne are going to have to grit their teeth and endure a new round of security precautions in preparation for another youthful onslaught at the Dom.

Terror danger during Christmas at Cologne Cathedral? Heightened vigilance and sniffer dogs

December 23, 2023

Cologne — The police have received indications of danger at the Cologne Cathedral and other Christian sites. For this reason, over the holidays, there are heightened security measures there.

Visitors to religious services at the Cologne Cathedral and tourists will have to deal with heightened security measures in the coming days, dpa reports. Due to an indication of danger, the police will take special protective measures, the Cologne police reported on Saturday evening. State Security, which is involved in politically motivated crimes, has begun an investigation.

“Even if the information concerns New Year’s Eve, we will take everything into account this evening for the security of cathedral visitors on Christmas Eve. In coordination with the security official of the Cathedral chapter, after the evening mass, the cathedral will be searched by sniffer dogs and then closed,” said the chief of Cologne Police, Michael Esser. On Christmas Eve, all visitors will be subject to search upon entry to the house of worship.

Bild reports: Austria, Germany, and Spain have received indications that an Islamist terror cell possibly intends to carry out several attacks in Europe on New Year’s Eve or Christmas. Der Spiegel also talks about “indications of possible attack plans by Islamists in Europe,” and further writes: “In this connection, there were also reports from security circles over the weekend of a house search in Germany.”

Vienna police have also issued a press release, and explain: “Based on a current danger assessment by the Office of Protection of the Constitution [security police], as well as continuing increased terror warnings, there is generally a heightened threat in Austria during the Christmas holidays. There are calls for attacks on Christian events around Christmas. For this reason, there will be heightened security measures in Austria, such as entrance controls to the churches and more security personnel at the Christmas markets.”

Creeping Food Jihad in Germany

The halal industry has now gained a secure foothold in Germany. This article doesn’t mention it, but in the long run, the Islamization of the food industry means that pork will eventually become a black-market commodity.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Boris Reitschuster’s website:

The main course is “halal”: Muslim fundamentalists determine what is eaten

Germany is also eliminating itself with food now.

“Islam also belongs to Germany.” What former Federal President Christian Wulff announced in 2010 was most recently confirmed by his successor on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Association of Islamic Cultural Centers in September. “The diversity of Islam belongs to Germany,” said the SPD politician. “The Muslim religion, Muslim life and Muslim culture have taken root in our country.”

Given this background, it is hardly surprising that the Muslim dietary rule “halal” plays a very special role in this country. The proportion of the population who eat according to these rules is growing from year to year. The Arabic word means “permissible” and “pure” and describes all things and actions that are permissible under Islamic law. Accordingly, Muslims are only allowed to eat what is halal.

According to the consumer advice center, the term is not protected under food law in the EU. There are therefore no uniform standards for halal products that are checked during certification. As a result, there are numerous different halal seals on the market from traditional or manufacturer-oriented certifiers. “It is rarely clear to consumers how these differ or what specific criteria they are based on, as each seal sets its own guidelines,” the consumer advocates point out.

(Still) small market — and high growth rates

Halal is not just a guideline for the everyday life of Muslims. It is also a business that can make good profits. Because more and more German companies are getting a piece of the halal cake — which of course corresponds to Allah’s rules — the Federal Republic is, according to an analysis by the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, one of the world’s largest producers of food that meets the strict Islamic standards.

Although the market is currently still manageable, the high growth rates show where the journey is headed. The number of new introductions of meat, fish and egg products with halal claims grew by an average of 21% annually between 2018 and 2022, according to a study by the Federal Association of the Food Industry. According to Statista, the global market volume is forecast to increase to almost $1.67 trillion by 2025.

In Germany, spending on halal food in 2021 amounted to almost €260 billion. The halal business largely takes place behind the scenes. It is fitting that inquiries from Die Welt to certifiers who inspect companies and award seals have so far remained unanswered.

Beware of the Bare Naked Ladies

Posted on by

A middle-school teacher in France has been threatened by culture-enrichers for showing her class a Renaissance painting featuring bare naked ladies.

The pupils told their parents, who were outraged that the teacher could so blatantly offend their children’s Islamic values. The only acceptable devout religious response was, of course, to threaten the teacher with death. The situation was so alarming that the minister of education paid a visit to the school in an attempt to pour oil on the turbulent waters.

Forget the Windmills — We Like Nukes

Posted on by

The French are well-known for bucking the zeitgeist and opting for nuclear power to provide the bulk of their electricity requirements. Now they are going further: they’re dismantling windmills in order to preserve the traditional French cultural landscape.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from the German outlet Apollo News:

Energy Transition the Other Way Around

France is dismantling wind turbines again

While Germany is wasting billions on the transformation to renewable energies, France is doing very well with its nuclear power. Now Paris is resisting EU plans and is even dismantling wind turbines.

Even on a day as windy as Friday, when Germany achieved record-breaking wind energy production levels, Germany emits significantly more CO2 per kilowatt hour than France.

France is taking a completely different approach from Germany’s: our western neighbor is even dismantling wind turbines in order to protect the landscape from damage. As a French energy expert reported to the French magazine Boulevard Voltaire, more and more wind turbines are being dismantled in order to protect France’s landscape culture.

The featured expert, Fabian Bougle, reported to the magazine that there were now numerous resolutions from several French state councils to give priority to respecting French cultural heritage. A few days ago, the appeals court in the French city of Nîmes ordered the dismantling of seven wind turbines that had been installed for seven years in the city of Lunas in the Hérault department because they had caused too much environmental damage.

It is not the first of its kind. A state council had previously decided to cancel the construction of wind farms because it would destroy the landscape that Marcel Proust describes in his work. Another French prefecture also canceled a wind turbine project because it would damage the landscapes that inspired Camille Pissarro’s paintings.

Expansion targets by 2030 — France rejects it

And politically France does not adhere to the rigid regulations of the EU. There is currently a real dispute between France and the European Commission because France does not want to commit to the expansion goals in renewable energy issues. It was only on Monday that the European Commission in Brussels published its recommendations on the member states’ energy-climate plans (PNEC — predicted no-effect concentration) for 2030.

The EU’s basic idea behind these recommendations is that countries must present their plans in detail and demonstrate the means by which member states want to achieve the European goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030. However, according to the European Commission, with the plans presented so far there would only be a reduction of 51% at the European level, not the desired 55%. “The 21 draft plans received so far in their current form do not enable us to achieve our goals,” the commission wrote critically in its statement on Monday.
