Not Quite the Götterdämmerung I Expected

Posted on by

Update: Thank you all for your kind words. That was not quite the response I expected!

Your comments have given me a lot to think about for future twentieth-anniversary posts.

We’ll be coming up on the twentieth anniversary of Gates of Vienna later this year, and the process of preparing for an anniversary post has induced a sort of reverie in me as I contemplate the events of the past two decades.

Things have changed a lot, both externally and internally. I often feel like I’m too old to be doing this sort of thing. I’m over seventy now, and should be relaxing somewhere pleasant, enjoying the time that remains to me before I shuffle off this mortal coil.

And I sometimes feel like I’m close to burning out — I’ve just seen too way much information, most of it horrible. I wish I could return to the naïve, idealistic state of mind that I had when I started this job, but, alas, that’s not an option. Once you walk through the door of greater awareness, there’s no turning back. And, worst of all, I don’t think I’ve reached the limit of ghastly understanding. It seems likely that the worst is yet to come.

I’ve been working with Vlad for more than fifteen years now, and he says he’s feeling the pressure of burnout, too. We talk on the phone fairly frequently about all this stuff, in an effort to keep each other sane. With mixed results.

Anyway… for the time being, I’ll continue trawling through the hideous news every day and presenting it here, for your delectation (or horror, as the case may be).

The worst part of the recollection process is the growing awareness that all my efforts at Counterjihad have for naught. It’s been coming on gradually, and has intensified over the past few years, as the incidence of jihad in Europe has increased to the point where I can’t cover it all. It used to be that I could post about every major incident when it occurred, but that’s no longer possible — most of the stories get relegated to the news feed, if I have any coverage of them at all. There are just too many of them.

As Islamization has increased, the persecution of those who criticize it — or even just point it out — has intensified concomitantly. A number of Europeans that I worked with have been prosecuted; once again, I can’t keep track of them all. Many of them have now ceased their Counterjihad activities — when the choice is between losing your livelihood and giving up your Islamophobia, it’s not surprising that people decide to quit this line of work. If I actually lived in Europe, I might well have been driven out of it myself.

I used to think that making more people aware of what’s happening would help turn the tide. If a critical mass of understanding could only be reached, especially among elected representatives, the process of Islamization might be reversible. Back in 2007 and 2008 I said I thought we had a window of ten or fifteen years in which to begin the process of reversal. Unfortunately, that window has now closed. The demographics of Western Europe have passed the point of no return. The white natives are having fewer children, while the Muslims are having more, and all the while additional “asylum seekers” are pouring in. Tomorrow belongs to them.

Central and Eastern Europe may well be able to avoid the worst, at least for a while, but Western European countries will metamorphose into Muslim societies. Sweden, the UK, the Netherlands, and France will be the first to become Islamic republics, with Germany, Austria, Spain, and Italy following close behind. It’s too late to stop the process; it’s only a matter of time.

No one in a position of political power will take action against the inevitable. Anyone who is inclined to oppose Islamization finds out as soon as he rises high enough in the hierarchy that opposition is not permitted. The order comes down from above, and you either give up your opposition (relevant example: Giorgia Meloni), or your career comes to an end. There are always multiple ways to make an independent-minded politician an offer he can’t refuse. I can’t say exactly who the shadowy unelected globalists are who give the orders, but they’re out there giving them. Their gravitational influence is large enough to shift the orbits of our elected leaders.

As we approach 2050, the Islamization process will intensify to the point where civil strife will break out in Western Europe. If nuclear war can somehow be avoided, it may be possible for white enclaves to form where the worst of the Islamic excesses are kept at bay. However, based on the current demographics, the Caliphate will have control of the major cities. If the welfare jizya ceases to flow to the urban ghettos, then the Muslims living there will have to resort to razzias, which is their traditional way of dealing with privation. We can expect well-armed masses of them to descend on the suburbs and rural areas, where they can rape and pillage to their hearts’ content.

They will have the arms, and, sad to say, they will have more military-age men than the white natives will. By that time most of the remaining whites will be geezers. Thus we can expect that their enclaves will gradually shrink, while the culturally enriched sharia banlieues will gradually expand.

And that’s just the Islamization aspect of the coming collapse. One of the ghastly realizations I’ve come to during the past two decades is that Islamization is just one tool in the demonic toolbox accessed by our globalist masters. The culture wars that are raging all across the West feature several other lytic agents designed to break down traditional societies and render them unable to resist the planned apocalypse — Build Back Better, the Great Reset, or whatever they choose to call it.

The most recent destructive fad is the “trans” craze, which is dissolving every social institution it touches so rapidly that it’s hard to take in what’s happening. And that’s certainly not the last such craze — it’s already clear that bestiality, polygamy, incest, and pedophilia are coming up soon. For all I know, necrophilia, necrophagia, and cannibalism may be next on the menu. Cannibals have rights, too!

The Emir of Sint-Joost Fails to Stop NatCon

Posted on by

The mayor of the Brussels municipality Sint-Joost-ten-Node is named Emir Kir. That tells you all you need to know: Brussels (at least that district) is ruled by an emir. It’s a province of the Caliphate.

Yesterday the police raided National Conservatism Conference (NatCon) in Sint-Joost on the orders of the mayor, in an attempt to shut the event down. However, they did not actually halt the conference. Judicial intervention allowed the proceedings to continue.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from the Flemish daily De Standaard:

Police raid during conservative congress blows up in the face of Mayor Kir

By sending the police to disrupt a congress of right-wing conservatives in Sint-Joost, Mayor Emir Kir gave those present the chance to make their point about structural censorship in front of the cameras. Premier De Croo also called Kir’s action “unacceptable”.

by Pieter Van Maele
April 17, 2024

“Belgium is bowing under the weight of sharia,” said the French radical-right politician, Éric Zemmour, Tuesday afternoon. “It is once again clear that in Brussels, a dissenting voice cannot be heard,” said Filip Dewinter (Vlaams Belang party). The Brexit advocate Nigel Farage said, “This undemocratic behavior has now convinced me that Brexit was the only correct choice.” Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian premier, tweeted that he was again reminded of his struggle against the communist regime in the 1980s. “We didn’t give up then, and we shouldn’t do that now.”

All four were supposed to take part in the National Conservatism Conference (NatCon) in Brussels on Tuesday and Wednesday, a two-day right-wing conservative congress. That was originally supposed to take place in a hall in Brussels-City until the manager got wind of the content and canceled the event. Then the organizers switched to Etterbeek, where the same thing happened. On Tuesday morning, they were forced to settle on Claridge Hall in Sint-Joost-ten-Node. The manager of the hall said that after “consultation with his lawyer,” he had decided the event could go forward.

Event not stopped

That was strictly against the wishes of Emir Kir (independent) the mayor of the Brussels municipality, who sent the police in Tuesday to put an “immediate” stop to the congress. He did that on the basis of a threat assessment by the anti-terrorist service Ocad, De Standaard learned, in which there was a warning of a possible disruption, not just by the right-wing event itself, but also by extreme leftist counter-demonstrators. “Racists are not welcome in Brussels, nor in Etterbeek, nor in Sint-Joost,” Kir also tweeted Tuesday.

Then around noon — Nigel Farage was speaking — a handful of police officers entered the hall, the meeting having been in progress for some hours. That took place literally behind closed doors. On the thickly-sealed roll-down shutters hung a note with the telephone number of someone in the organizing Mathias Corvinus Collegium, a right-wing think tank from Hungary.


Éric Zemmour stated to the press: “Belgium is bowing under the weight of sharia.”

The police did not completely stop the event. They did set up a cordon of about twenty riot police in front of the entrance to the hall. Whoever was outside the hall at that moment, like Zemmour, was not allowed back in by the officers. Inside, the congress went on virtually undisturbed.

Requiem for a Culture, Part 6: The End of Reconciliation

This is the sixth essay in an occasional series. Previously: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5

Requiem for a Culture

Part 6: The End of Reconciliation

The past is never dead. It’s not even past.

— William Faulkner, Requiem for a Nun, Act I, Scene III (page 80 in the Vintage paperback edition)

Southern partisans, especially those who have ancestors who fought in the War for Southern Independence, are well aware of the depredations that have been visited upon Southern monuments in the last three or four years. The process culminated late last year with the desecration of two cherished monuments, the statue of General Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. I’ll give a brief recapitulation of these events for readers who may not be familiar with what happened.

A bronze statue of General Lee, the commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, had stood since the 1920s in a little park next to the library in downtown Charlottesville. The “Unite the Right” false-flag fiasco in 2017 started the ball rolling on the statue’s removal. Late that summer General Lee and his horse Traveller were covered with a burka to prevent passers-by from being triggered by the sight. Then in 2020 the fentanyl overdose of Saint George Floyd provided the coup de grâce: the following year the statue was finally removed from its plinth. To make sure that the South would never rise again, last October the revered general was cut into pieces and melted down.

The widely-published photo of General Lee’s molten bronze face was like a knife in the heart for Southern partisans (or at least for this one).

The second destructive event is not as well-known as the immolation of General Lee, but may well turn out to be even more of an outrage from the perspective of those who revere the memory of the men who fought and died for the right of Southern states to be free of Federal tyranny. I refer, of course, to the renowned Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery.

The national memorial for Confederate soldiers was commissioned by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in the early 1900s. It was designed by the widely acclaimed sculptor Moses Ezekiel, a Confederate veteran as well as the first Jewish cadet to be enrolled at the Virginia Military Institute. Completed in 1912, the monument was unveiled in 1914 in a ceremony that featured a speech by Woodrow Wilson, and was attended by numerous grandees from both the North and the South.

A full account of Moses Ezekiel’s monument would be too long for this space, and would require a deeper knowledge of the topic than I possess. For an excellent overview, I recommend this article by Richard Hines at Chronicles.

Last December the Arlington monument was dismantled and removed from its pedestal by the Army (which owns it) and moved to an unknown location. Its final destination has not yet been announced, and it may or may not eventually be melted down (see this article from The Northern Virginia Daily).

The national Confederate Monument was above all intended to be a memorial of reconciliation, bringing together the two sides in the Recent Unpleasantness so that they could coexist in the same polity without rancor and recrimination. Southern soldiers were thereby honored as patriotic and courageous fighters for their home states, and accepted as such in the official collective memory of the new (and now completely Federal) republic.

Mind you, the Northern hegemonists had an ulterior motive for embracing reconciliation: they needed the fighting prowess of Southern soldiers for their new wars of Manifest Destiny. Confederate soldiers had shown themselves to be a superior fighting force, and only lost to the Yankees because they were so badly outnumbered and so ill-supplied. Southern boys, especially the pugnacious Scots-Irish of the southern Appalachians, have been the mainstay of the U.S. military ever since. Whenever Uncle Sam deployed troops abroad to make the world safe for democracy, the descendants of the Confederacy were in the van bearing the brunt of the fighting.

That’s what reconciliation was for. But reconciliation is now officially dead.

For the first time since the late 1800s, Southern “cracker” families are discouraging their sons from serving in the military. The U.S. government and the armed services have made it clear that they have no respect for the Confederate heritage, and nothing but contempt for the descendants of those who fought for the Stars and Bars from 1861 to 1865.

So they’re on their own now. When the pink-haired correctly-pronouned trans creatures go forth to fight the next war with Russia, or Iran, or China, or whomever our neocon masters decree to be the enemy, they will do so without the assistance of Southern partisans.

If the rebel yell is ever heard again in combat, it will be in a completely different kind of war.

Today is the 159th anniversary of the Confederate nakba, the surrender of Robert E. Lee to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9th, 1865.

In honor of the occasion, I present the story of the encounter between General John Brown Gordon, CSA, and General Joshua Chamberlain, USA, that took place at Appomattox three days after the surrender. More than any other occasion, that incident exemplifies the spirit of reconciliation that the Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery was intended to convey.

This is quoted from “The Last Salute: Gordon and Chamberlain at Appomattox”, published by Ultimate Flags:

Whose Face Will Be on the Trillion-Dollar Bill?

Posted on by
19

Some of the things that President Biden and the Democrat Party have been doing over the past few months are pretty bizarre, considering that this is an election year.

Hispanics and even blacks are shifting away from the Democrats. Young people — the parti-colored Zoomer TikTok generation — are increasingly drawn towards Donald Trump. The way things are going, there won’t be enough dump trucks available to haul in the “found” ballots required to put Joe Biden over the top on the night of November 5th. The Democrats are virtuosos at rigging elections, but even in the dystopian twilight of 21st-century America, elections can only be stolen at the margin. The race has to be at least somewhat close in order to pull off an effective steal.

The Democrat apparat seems utterly unconcerned with making sure the race is a tight one. One unpopular policy after another is being pushed — open borders, criminals released without bail, the promotion of sexual perversion, the war against the internal combustion engine, uniformed soldiers with pink hair mincing around in high heels…

And, to top it all off, there was the “Transgender Day of Visibility” on Easter Sunday. Don’t they even want to win the election?

Well, maybe they really don’t.

I’d been thinking along those lines for a while, and then last week I happened to read something similar at ZeroHedge, an essay saying that they’re going to let Trump win.

These are the key paragraphs:

Let Trump back in, and fight him on home turf — in the maze of the executive bureaucracy. Some of his backers have announced their intention to become politically competent in the event that he wins — but compared to the alternatives, that’s a very manageable risk.

More importantly: let Trump hold the bag for the all-but-guaranteed economic calamity of the next four years. The regime could skate for another decade if they succeed in pinning the collapse on a dangerous, erratic right-wing upstart. [emphasis added]

Everything I say here tonight is pure speculation. I’m not an expert on any of these matters, and especially not on financial issues. I’m just a reasonably well-informed layperson who reads a lot of information from diverse points of view.

It’s undeniable that the country is headed towards some form of fiscal calamity. As I mentioned last month, money-printing is being taken to new extremes:

I swore off making specific predictions after the previous great fiscal crisis in 2009, when my prognostications were so completely wrong. I never would have thought they could keep the racket going for another fifteen years, but here we are. The Powers That Be have managed to do a lot with derivatives and real estate bubbles.

But the debt graph can’t keep going up with a steadily increasing slope — it just can’t. Someday the pyramid scheme will come crashing down, and the chickens will come home to roost. Based on the current debt acceleration, it won’t be much longer. It might take a week; it might take a decade. But the chickens will be roosting relatively soon.

The thing is, the people who keep the Ponzi scheme afloat know exactly what’s coming. They know the money-printing tactic will eventually stop working. It’s a complex process, what with cryptocurrencies, CBDCs, derivatives, paper and digital “futures” of precious metals, and now the BRICS alternatives. Keeping those plates spinning must surely be a tricky business.

And the people in charge know that a collapse of the dollar will eventually come. In order enrich themselves fully, and assure themselves an unbroken hold on the levers of power, they will need to time the crisis carefully. At exactly the right moment they will topple the pillars supporting the dollar-based economy, after having thoroughly prepared the replacement system that will be built on the smoking ruins of the old one.

So which patsy will be nominally in charge when the house of cards comes tumbling down? Who will preside over the Great Collapse?

Whose face will be on the Zimbabwe-style trillion-dollar bill?

For a long time I thought Brandon was being set up as the fall guy. He was always obviously a disposable president, a non-re-electable senile geezer who could be pushed aside when he was no longer needed. The people who crafted his policies and wrote his speeches clearly didn’t try to make him more popular. I assumed that when the time was right, he would be gently eased out (and Kamala, too, although that part would be tricky), and a substitute such as Gavin Newsom or Big Mike installed to run in 2024, someone who was at least plausible enough that the election could be rigged on his behalf.

But it never happened. And the scripts that Brandon has been following have been so damaging to him that it’s obvious that his handlers don’t really want him to win re-election. It is intended that he go down in flames, taking the Democrat Party with him.

Interview With Edwin Wagensveld

I’ve reported in the past (most recently here) on the actions by Edwin Wagensveld, the leader of the Dutch branch of Pegida, who has publicly torn up and burned Korans, provoking a violent response from “Dutch” culture-enrichers and causing him to be arrested by police multiple occasions. Mr. Wagensveld was recently banned from entering the town of Arnhem.

Below is an interview with Edwin Wagensveld conducted by Vlad Tepes. Many thanks to RAIR Foundation for uploading this video:

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.

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).

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.

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

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

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

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from Nyheter Idag:

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.

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”.

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 following video shows what happened when the event was raided by the police. Many thanks to Oz-Rita and Brunhilde for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling.

“The AfD is the Only Party in Germany That Recognizes Reality”

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.

Give Me That Phone!

The following video was recorded in the waiting room of a clinic in the Iranian city of Qom. When a Muslim cleric started to record a cell phone video (or take a photo) of a young unveiled woman who was there with her baby. When the woman saw what he was doing, she reacted with fierce anger, and demanded that he turn over his phone to her.

Notice that the unveiled woman receives active support from a significant number of veiled women, who join her in demanding that the cleric surrender his phone. As far as I can determine, one of them manages to snatch the phone and run off with it just before the end of the clip.

The subtitling wasn’t done by us, and the translator is unknown. Many thanks to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for uploading this video:

The video was posted by the Italian newspaper La Stampa. Below is a the written paragraph accompanying it, translated by Gary Fouse:

Mullah photographs woman without veil in a waiting room. She rebels and confronts him

“Show me your phone!” That’s how a woman confronted a cleric who was surprised while he was taking a photo, probably to report the fact that she was without a head covering. But the mother, at that moment in the waiting room of a clinic in Qom with her sick child, reacted forcefully and lashed out at the mullah, shouting at him to show her his phone. Other women came to calm her, but also to help her, and surrounded the man, who was filmed as he hurriedly left the clinic. It is unclear what occurred after the events recorded by the security cameras. The Iranian judiciary has stated that a case has been opened and that the incident is the object of an investigation but denied reports that the clinic was shut down or that arrests had been made.
