Gagged in The Netherlands

The current crackdown on free speech is occurring simultaneously virtually everywhere in the Western world. The following example is from The Netherlands, but similar instances could be adduced from other countries. The worst offenders are probably Canada and the UK, but it’s hard to say for sure.

As Al Stewart sang (in “Rain Barrel”):

It’s only when the empire’s breaking
That you see their teeth.

Raisa Blommestijn criminally prosecuted due to her tweets

March 24, 2024

The Public Prosecutor’s Office has filed a criminal prosecution against the legal commentator Raisa Blommestijn. The reason for this is her comments on social media from last year. “This is indicative of the state of the West,” Blommestijn wrote on X.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office filed the prosecution last year due to Blommestijn’s tweets about migrant violence. This was confirmed by the legal commentator herself on X after an earlier report by the opinion maker Ashley St. Clair.

Violent video at Bijimar Arena Station

The reason for this is the tweets that Blommestijn wrote after a violent video went viral last year. In the video, an Italian tourist at the Bijimar Station was beaten and thrown onto the tracks by a group of youths with a migration background. The images went all over the Internet.

Blommestijn devoted a number of reports to it on X (formerly Twitter). “Every day, people are raped, beaten, intimidated, and slaughtered by migrants. The elite have opened the borders and deliberately forfeited our safety. Our home destroyed. And we let it happen. We let it happen. When is enough enough?” wrote the legal commentator, among other things.

For years, people with a migration background have been overrepresented in crime statistics. Not just in the Netherlands, but also in Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, and Sweden. meanwhile, the Hungarian capital, Budapest, where there is hardly any mass immigration, is considered the safest place in continental Europe.

“Negroid primates”

Shortly afterward, the Forum for Democracy MP Gideon van Meijeren denounced the violent incident in the Tweede Kamer [House of Representatives]. Here he used the term “Negroid primates” to describe the rioters at the station. A ruckus arose over this terminology, to the dissatisfaction of Van Meijeren. He did not think it was racist, but a factual designation: “Primates” referring to the primitive behavior of the youths, “Negroid” referring to their skin color.

To show support, Blommestijn decided to use his terminology in her tweets. But a few months later, she noticed that her tweets were deleted because she was reportedly in conflict with Dutch law. Therefore, the legal commentator decided to repost the tweets, in her words, “to show how far censorship now goes”.

Criminal prosecution

For the Public Prosecutor’s Office, this was a step too far. In August, Blommestijn received a telephone call saying that a criminal prosecution was being filed against her on suspicion of insulting a group of people and provoking hate and discrimination (Article 137c of the Criminal Code).

At Easter: “High” terror danger — Karner increases police presence

Due to the danger of terrorism, Easter celebrations will be monitored by more police. Reportedly no indication of concrete dangers.

March 23, 2024

The danger of terrorism remains high in Austria, according to Interior Minister Gerhard Karner. Therefore, during the days of Easter, more police will be deployed. In particular, the Easter markets and Easter masses will have increased police monitoring.

There will likely be a larger contingent of police in uniform and plainclothes in the coming days, the Interior Minister reported on Saturday. However, there are currently no indications of a concrete danger.

“High” threat level for terrorism and extremism

The risk level in relation to Islamist extremism and terrorism continues to be rated as “high” by the State Security and Intelligence Service. This is the second-highest level. Although “to date, there is no indication of a concrete danger,” Easter celebrations and Easter markets are “symbols of a high Christian festival combined with gatherings of people in public spaces.”

The Federal Police Directorate has ordered special protective measures, “in order to ensure as safe a process as possible for participants”, they state. This also applies to the Jewish Passover festival from 22-30 April.

“The police work around the clock for the safety of Austrians, and this is also required at Easter. Everything will be done there to ensure the safety of Easter markets and Easter celebrations as best as possible,” Interior Minister Karner assured.

Due to attack plots against the Vienna city center, the police had already increased security measures shortly before Christmas and warned of attack plots against Christmas markets and worship services. During the Christmas holidays, St. Stephen’s Cathedral was guarded by elite police.

The following video reports on illegal mosques that are operating in the Italian city of Monfalcone, one of them in the oratory of a church.

It’s important to note that the church facility could not be used for Muslim prayers without the permission of church officials, who are at least nominally Christian. The issue here is not what the Muslims are doing, but what the Christians are doing — that is, their pre-emptive surrender to the hosts of Mohammed.

Putting the AfD Behind Bars

Posted on by

I posted last night about the case of a 16-year-old German girl named Loretta, who was pulled out of school by police after her principal reported her for obliquely supporting the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany).

Neither the previous article nor the one below discuss what got Loretta in trouble. Here’s a reminder of what caused her to be arrested:

At the end of February, the girl was taken out of class in front of her fellow students and questioned by police, as first reported by German newspaper Junge Freiheit.

In her TikTok post, she asked “What do Germany and the Smurfs have in common: They are both blue.” The post was in reference to the AfD, which has blue party colors.

The appalling actions by the government of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania have drawn international attention to the state. In response, the state government is attempting to do damage control by hiding all of its internal deliberations.

Schwesig government keeps school instructions under lock and key

The “Loretta case” concerns the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. New, explosive details have become known in a special meeting. The Union and AfD accuse Manuela Schwesig’s state government of a cover-up.

Schwerin

The state government of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, led by Manuela Schwesig (SPD), is keeping a memo under wraps in which school principals were informed about how supposedly extremist students should be dealt with. This was reported by the education policy spokesman for the AfD parliamentary group in the state parliament, Enrico Schult, following a special meeting of the education committee on the “Loretta case”.

“It is not helpful at all that the Ministry of Education is withholding ‘case scenarios’ sent to all school management, in a memo, on February 22, 2024, to which the headmaster referred and which are intended to clarify how to proceed in alleged cases of danger. Why exactly? Do these systems contain politically tinged requirements?” criticized Schult after the meeting.

He asked whether “the police should be called for every politically unpopular post.” “Or what happens when teachers accidentally come across critical posts in the media made by their students? Should they make a report?”

Criticism of the school principal and the state government

The AfD politician renewed his criticism of the behavior of the director of the Ribnitz-Damgartener Richard-Wossidlo-Gymnasium, who contacted the police at the end of February and had 16-year-old Loretta picked up from class after he was given screenshots of the 16-year-old’s social media appearances . These were not criminally relevant. Nevertheless, the officers carry out a “kind of threat address,” as they told Junge Freiheit.

No Longer Welcome in Arnhem

Posted on by

I’ve reported a number of times on the Islamophobic actions of Edwin Wagensveld (the leader of the Dutch branch of Pegida), most recently his attempt to burn a Koran in Arnhem. His activities sometimes provoke a violent response on the part of “Dutch” culture-enrichers, and on more than one occasion have caused him to be arrested by police.

Mr. Wagensveld has become persona non grata in Arnhem, to the extent that he is now banned from entering the city. The ban was issued by the mayor — whose first name is Ahmed, which tells you all you need to know.

Pegida leader gets 6-month local ban in Arnhem

March 21, 2024

Edwin Wagensveld, the leader of the radical-right group Pegida, cannot enter the city of Arnhem for six months. Mayor Ahmed Marcouch has imposed a local ban on Wagensveld. The ban goes into immediate effect.

Marcouch will reconsider the ban after three months, he has informed Wagensveld.

The Pegida leader wanted to burn a Koran next Saturday on Jans Square in Arnhem. On Wednesday, Marcouch forbade that on the advice of the police out of fear of chaos and because there would be concrete terrorist fears.

Wagensveld said on social media that he would definitely come to Arnhem on Saturday. The mayor reacted that the Pegida leader would definitely not enter Arnhem. Now Marcouch has imposed a local ban on him.

Wagensveld is not allowed to appear anywhere in Arnhem because of the ban. He is allowed to travel through Arnhem by train or bus but is not allowed to get off. Arnhem is a central station for trains to and from Germany, where Wagensveld lives. There is also an exception in the case that he might have to appear in the courthouse in Arnhem.

Police cannot guarantee safety

The mayor of Arnhem fears that the arrival of Wagensveld will attract groups and individuals who will try to stop him with violence or try to prevent his actions.

In addition, there are probably groups who also want to commit acts of violence. Marcouch speaks of a “high degree of probability.” There are concrete threats against the Pegida leader.

Marcouch expects that many more counter-demonstrators will come to Arnhem via calls on social media shortly before the demonstration, “which increases the unpredictability and thus, the uncontrollability of the anticipated serious disorder.” Police say safety cannot be guaranteed, even with the deployment of a large police presence.

Wagensveld tried to burn a Koran in Arnhem on January 13. That did not occur because there were many counter-demonstrators. The demonstration turned into riots and fights.

The Muslim Brotherhood in Sweden, Part 17

Preliminary investigation against Egyptson dropped

The preliminary investigation against Sameh Egyptson’s attention-grabbing and debated dissertation on political Islam has been dropped, Prosecutor Pia Björnsson tells TT News.

In February of last year, the researcher Sameh Egyptson presented the dissertation, “Global Political Islam? The Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic Federation in Sweden” at Lund University.

In his dissertation Egyptson advanced the thesis that the Islamic Federation is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, which means that Sweden is infiltrated by political Islam.

In the dissertation several persons were named as being active in the Islamic Federation in Sweden or some of the Islamic Federation’s sub-organizations, which led to several reports to the Appeals Board for Ethics Review (Önep).

Önep prosecuted the dissertation since it was considered that Egyptson used sensitive personal information without ethics review permission, and in February, Prosecutor Pia Björnsson initiated a preliminary investigation into Egyptson’s dissertation to determine if Egyptson had permission to conduct the research.

“I consider that I did research within the framework of academic freedom. This is an attempt to deter researchers from working on important societal issues,” said Egyptson to Dagens Nyheter when the investigation was launched.

But now the investigation has been dropped. “This was expected since I began my dissertation before the law (2003:460) on ethics review even existed, something my critics didn’t care about when they reported me,” Egyptson writes in a posting on the X platform.

“My hope now is that the Ethics Review law will be reworked so that researchers will be able to feel free without fear to choose controversial and debated topics, and that it will be possible to research public persons in leading positions, based on public sources and their own public statements, without this being deemed as ‘sensitive personal information’ and being forbidden from researching it,” Egyptson further writes.

I Was Only Following Orders

The walls of censorship are closing in now in all Western nations. Some countries have it worse than others, notably Canada, the UK, and Germany. The following example illustrates the DDR-like conditions that exist now in the German Federal Republic.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Politically Incorrect:

An ordinary school principal and the Eichmann complex

The school principal Jan-Dirk Zimmermann from the northeast German province of Ribnitz-Damgarten has made national headlines in recent days. His unexpected popularity arose from his sucking up to the supposed spirit of the times, which demands political conformity.

He called the police to “his” school. Not because a crazy gunman threatened to massacre his classmates and teachers. No. Because of the student “Loretta”, who allegedly announced on social networks that Germany was not a speck on the map, but rather her home, and shared a Smurfs video on TikTok, he had the police called for no apparent reason to publicly expose and humiliate the student in front of her classmates. She was taken away by three police officers. The student’s desperate mother contacted the weekly newspaper Junge Freiheit about it. In his defense, Zimmermann said he was just following “rules.”

In doing so, he makes his sinister motives clear. The journalist Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) described this behavior, the reliance on regulations to suppress one’s own responsibility for evil, as the Eichmann complex. Arendt followed the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem in 1961 and published many articles about it.

Adolf Eichmann was a German-Austrian SS officer who had neither a degree nor completed professional training, but who fit seamlessly into the machinery of the organized extermination of Jews and took a leading position there. After successfully escaping to Argentina at the end of the war, he was arrested by the Israeli secret service and taken to Israel.

This happened because the words of the Frankfurt Nazi hunter and Attorney General Fritz Bauer fell on deaf ears by the German authorities, who showed no interest in Eichmann’s arrest and extradition. Adolf Eichmann denied his responsibility during the trial and stated that he had only followed “regulations”. He was sentenced to death and executed shortly afterwards.

It is symptomatic, both for National Socialists and for eco-socialists, not to take personal responsibility for the obvious evil they have caused and to denounce and report other fellow citizens who do not march in step. Yes, Zimmermann from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania found it really nice to report his student to the police for no reason, knowing full well that there was no crime. He was obviously comfortable with it.

This may not be an isolated case at this school. It seems to be a system. Also at other schools. There you also have “regulations”. The countless informers who anonymously report their fellow citizens to the numerous reporting centers set up by the state also feel good, even if it’s just out of spite. All these little Zimmermänner and all these little Eichmanns. The Eichmann complex is visible and audible everywhere. It’s always someone else’s fault or, if necessary, the “regulations”.

Culture-Enriching “Germans” Thwarted in Their Planned Attack on Sweden

Two Afghans have been arrested in the German city of Gera, in Thuringia, for plotting an attack on the Swedish parliament.

Thuringia: Two terror suspects arrested in Gera

by Nadja Lissok and Alex Ruele
March 19, 2024

The two men from Afghanistan allegedly planned an attack not far from the Swedish parliament, according to the accusation by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office.

On Tuesday, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office ordered the arrest of two alleged Islamists in Gera (Thuringia) on suspicion of terrorism. The two men are accused of planning an attack near the Swedish Parliament with firearms, a spokeswoman in Karlsruhe reported.

The attack would have been a reaction to the Koran-burnings in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries last summer. The two Afghans reportedly received directions from an affiliate of the Islamic State (ISIS) in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the prosecuting authorities report. Their mission was reportedly to kill police and other people in and around the Swedish Parliament. According to the Federal Prosecutor’s Office, the two suspects scouted out possible attack sites on the Internet and unsuccessfully attempted to obtain weapons. In addition, they allegedly collected donations in Germany for the Islamic State of some €2,000.

Revenge on behalf of the Islamic State

In December of last year, two Syrian brothers who were living in Germany were sentenced to prison for planning to detonate an explosive belt in a Swedish church. Their motive was revenge for the repeated Koran-burnings. The Islamic State had given them the assignment to target a church. In October, a Tunisian Islamist, who was living illegally in Brussels, shot two Swedish football fans on the street and injured two others during a qualification game. In a confessional video, he also claimed to be acting in the name of ISIS. The man was shot by police.

The accused from Gera are expected to be brought before an investigating judge on Tuesday or Wednesday. There the arrest warrants will be opened, which were issued almost two weeks ago. The question of possible pre-trial detention will also be decided. Specifically, the investigators accuse the two of belonging to and supporting a terrorist association abroad and conspiracy to commit a crime, in this case, murder, as well as violations of the Foreign Trade Law.

A Historic Event Just Happened

Posted on by

I reported last week on the intifada staged outside of the Holocaust museum during its official opening in Amsterdam. The incident was organized by the demonic convergence of Muslims and the far Left. Our Dutch correspondent H. Numan sends this report with details and historical background for what happened in Amsterdam.

A historic event just happened

by H. Numan

A week ago the extreme Left blew any chance of governing the country for the foreseeable future. Femke Halsema, the mayor of Amsterdam, denies everything. However, she was deeply involved in the anti-Semitic demonstration during the opening of the Holocaust museum in Amsterdam. That museum was not something set up in an available building. Nope. It was set up in the exact building where the deportations were organized. Inside the king, the government, the president of Israel and the elites were painfully embarrassed by the pogrom going on outside. You know, because it was reported here. However, there is much more going on than just a national humiliation of epic proportions. This wasn’t a demonstration; it was a pogrom. And like the one in Germany, orchestrated by the (municipal) government. A real, full-blown pogrom.

During WW2 the Dutch elites and entire civil service were, as we call, it ‘fout’ (wrong). They served the Germans far better and much more efficiently than our own quislings. Almost all Jews were rounded up and exterminated. Our national railway company NS was praised by Himmler himself for her excellent work and superior management in shipping Jews directly to concentration camps deep inside Germany. The police had to be reorganized after the war to regain popular support. It took them until the early ’70s before that happened. The Dutch ID card was the most difficult to forge of all ID cards in Europe issued on German orders.

Westerbork is the most infamous concentration camp in The Netherlands. Westerbork was set up near a remote village in Drenthe (itself a remote province) to house Jewish refugees from Germany. It should have been Het Loo. Somewhat too close for comfort for queen Wilhelmina, who had a residence, the palace Het Loo, in the area. She explicitly forbade building a Jewish refugee center. She didn’t want to have ‘that’ kind of people, even ten miles away, from her royal palace. The Germans were pleasantly surprised to find it, full with refugees. Saved them a lot of work.

After the war people realized what had happened and made amends. Since WW2 The Netherlands has been a staunch ally of Israel. Even the Labor party strongly supported Israel during the Six Day War. The (Labor) prime minister personally called his counterpart and said: “Don’t worry. We’re behind you all the way.” The minister of defense ensured vital military cargo was sent to Israel. Even though it was outright illegal. He was a reprehensible guy for defense, but morally commendable. That’s something you have to know why the Dutch as a nation are such strong Israel supporters.

That pro-Israel stance changed in the Labor party when New Left (young far-left highly educated socialists) took over. A pro-Israel stance was never present further to the Left, in parties such as the Socialist and Communist Parties. It disappeared in the Labor party when they dropped the common man and picked up mohammedan migrants. It’s now completely gone since they were merged with the communist party. GL stands for Green Left, and is the communist party in all but name. The communist party was never popular here, with little support from the common man. Their support comes from the disenchanted upper middle class.

When Labor and the conservative VVD became more progressive, they electorally declined. Labor so much that they merged into GL. GL didn’t decline, or at least not as much, because they attract extremists and weren’t that big anyway. You can’t decline if there is nothing to decline, right?

Then the opening of the Holocaust museum happened. I was appalled. Not just me, the entire nation was flabbergasted. Humiliated. How did something like that happen here?? Not only that, but it is organized. Yes, Femke Halsema claims she didn’t know anything about it, but she almost always lies.

Olaf Scholz Meets With Benjamin Netanyahu

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday in Jerusalem. Below is a brief report on the press conference following the meeting.

Netanyahu and Scholz: Hamas must be eliminated

“We have no future if Hamas, which is determined to carry out genocide against us, remains intact,” stressed the Israeli head of government.

March 17, 2024

After a conversation with the German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu explains that he and his German guest are in agreement that “Hamas must be eliminated”.

There will be no peace as long as the Islamist terror organization remains in the Gaza Strip, said Netanyahu on Sunday in a joint press conference with Scholz in Jerusalem. “We have no future if Hamas, which is determined to carry out genocide against us, remains intact.”

On Friday Netanyahu approved a ground offensive in the town of Rafah on the Egyptian border. Before a planned offensive in Rafah, the civilian population will be brought to safety, Netanyahu said. Israel is also undertaking every effort to enable aid deliveries for the people in the Gaza Strip, “over land, over sea, and from the air.”

At a meeting with Netanyahu, Scholz emphasized that Israel has the right to defend itself against the terror of Islamist Hamas. At the same time, he expressed doubts as to the military action of Israel in the Gaza war in view of the high victim toll. He urged Netanyahu to rethink his strategy in the Gaza Strip.

In the five months or so of the war, the number of civilian victims has reached an extremely high level. “Many would say too high,” said Scholz. “No matter how important the goal may be, can such a terribly high cost be justified, or are there other ways to reach this goal?” Scholz asked.

Scholz arrived in Israel for a visit on the same day, the second since the start of the Gaza war on October 7.

In addition to Netanyahu, Scholz wanted to meet with President Isaac Herzog and Minister Benny Gantz, as well as relatives of hostages. It is believed that there are still about 100 of them alive. He previously met with Jordanian King Abdullah II in the Jordanian seaside resort of Akaba.

The federal Chancellor first traveled to Israel ten days after the Hamas attack to assure the nation of German solidarity. “Israel’s security and that of its citizens is a German state interest,” he said then. “Our responsibility growing out of the Holocaust makes it our duty to stand for the security and the existence of Israel.”

Whatever You Do, Don’t Mention “Remigration”

Martin Sellner is the leader of Identitarian Movement Austria (Identitäre Bewegung Österreich, IBÖ). Yesterday, during a visit to Switzerland, Mr. Sellner’s event was shut down and he was arrested, all because he advocates remigration — that is, the deportation of illegal immigrants.

Mr. Sellner posted about the incident on Twitter (in English):

Today the police in the Kanton of Aargau, Switzerland stormed a speech, turned off the electricity, handcuffed me and performed a push back. I am not allowed to enter Aargau for 2 months. The reason?

  • I presented my book about #remigration. The police claimed that this presentation was a danger to Swiss security and public order.
  • According to the police, it was the first push back like this in 10 years, while 50.000 Illegals entered the country in 2023!
  • This is a disgrace to Swiss democracy. But it still is a win for our movement. They can handcuff me, but not our ideas. Remigration is inevitable!

The AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany) is on the verge of being banned, if not at the federal level, then by one or more of the states. The German establishment has decided that the AfD is dangerous, and appears to be unleashing its full power to stop the populist upstarts.

The following campaign ad by the AfD features several immigrants who express their support for the party. It’s interesting and encouraging to see these advocates for political sanity, but I doubt it will have any effect on the push to destroy the AfD.
