Deviant Opinions About Sexual Deviants Are Forbidden

If you’re in Germany and hold unapproved opinions about deviants and perverts, you’d best keep them to yourself.

“Incitement to hatred”: Trans-critical blogger targeted by police

The blogger Rona Duwe was summoned for identification and must face an investigation for “sedition” — all because the 53-year-old made critical comments about the transgender hype and the Self-Determination Act. Duwe is certain: she is to be “silenced”.

“Incitement to hatred” — Because of this accusation, the Dortmund police are conducting an investigation against the blogger Rona Duwe. And that was probably only because the 53-year-old had made critical comments about the transgender hype and the planned self-determination law on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter). For Duwe, this is an obvious “attempt to intimidate”.

On November 5, 2023, the mother of two and graphic designer received a letter from the police summoning her for an “identification procedure for preventive law-enforcement reasons”. She is accused of equating “transitioning people” and people with pedophilic tendencies and spreading negative comments about an association for trans and intersexual people.

Her lawyer, Roman Lammers, emphasizes that there is no legal basis for the summons because Duwe operates under her real name on the Internet and expresses her opinion openly. Duwe sees herself as the target of a political campaign to silence her. She argues that the identification subpoena is an attempt to intimidate. “I’m to be silenced because some people don’t like my opinion,” the blogger told Die Welt.

From November 2021 to May 2023, several investigations are said to have been conducted against Duwe — without the blogger, who has been “controversial” for years because of her critical views, knowing about it. Although she was informed about various complaints from trans activists, she was not informed of any investigations.

Duwe’s lawyer therefore contacted the police to clarify the matter, but according to Die Welt, he has not yet been able to access the files. Duwe’s only option now is to file a lawsuit against the identification process before the Gelsenkirchen Administrative Court.

Redbeard Speaks

Posted on by

The following video features a disquisition by a gentleman named Omar Ould Hamaha on the importance of dyeing one’s beard with henna in order to accord with the wishes of the prophet of Islam, who considered the matter of great importance.

RAIR foundation includes this note on Mr. Hamaha:

Omar Ould Hamaha, a devoutly religious Muslim and proud jihadist in the North of Mali, shares why Muslims dye their beards red/orange with Henna, which was done by the Prophet Muhammad, who advised his followers to do the same. He delves into the symbolism behind the colored beard and once again shows Islam’s incompatibility with non-Muslims.

You’ll notice that the esteemed Omar jitters like a speed freak with Parkinson’s in this video. That’s due to a technical issue with the number of frames per second in the original video. I don’t quite understand it, but Vlad may be able to explain the problem.

Another Allahu Akhbar Moment in Milan

Posted on by

A convicted people-smuggler in Italy moonlighted as a mujahid. Who would have suspected?

Milan is the #1 hotbed of cultural enrichment in Italy as far as I can tell, based on the various translated articles posted here in the past fifteen years or so.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from the Italian-language service of MSN:

Milan: Attacked three passersby shouting, “Allahu Akhbar”. The ex-smuggler will be deported to Egypt.

Wednesday afternoon he was accompanied by police on board a departing flight from Malpensa airport destination Cairo and repatriated to his country of origin, Egypt. Ibrahim Tawfik, a 34-year-old, who on October 14 attacked three passersby at the end of viale Monza, almost at the border with Sesto San Giovanni, while wearing an Islamic tunic and holding a Koran, was deported.

In the course of the attacks in rapid succession, which fortunately did not lead to serious injuries, the man also shouted, “Allahu Akhbar”. The 34-year-old was then arrested by investigators from Digos, charged with violence with racial, ethnic, national, or religious motives, and transported to San Vittorio prison to be evaluated for eventual deportation.

A procedure now completed, on the basis of a measure issued by Prefect Claudio Sgaraglia and executed by officers of via Fatebenefratelli [Milan police headquarters] under Police Commissioner Giuseppe Petronzi.

It is not the first time Tawfik has been kicked out of Italy: It had already occurred in 2018 when the prefect of Catanzaro ordered his removal from Italy as a danger to the public. The Egyptian had arrived at Pozzallo four years previously on board a ship, but a few days afterwards was arrested for aiding illegal immigration, accused of being one of the smugglers who had ferried the migrants from one shore of the Mediterranean to the other.

AfD Supporters Must Be Silenced

Posted on by

As the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany) grows more and more popular, the German political establishment is becoming increasingly alarmed, in much the same way that the Deep State in the USA views the popularity of Donald Trump with growing dismay.

The solution, of course, is to crack down on AfD supporters who voice their opinions on social media.

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

Kretschmer calls for restrictions on “new media” due to high AfD polls

Current surveys show the AfD in Saxony with 37%, ahead of the Union [CDU (national) + CSU (Bavarian)]. The incumbent CDU Minister-President Michael Kretschmer sees social media as a reason for this and is therefore calling for strict regulation of the “new media”.

The latest survey results from Saxony have caused a stir in the political landscape in Germany. With 37%, the AfD would currently be the strongest force there — even ahead of the CDU. A great danger for the incumbent Minister-President Michael Kretschmer. At a New Year’s reception on Friday, the CDU politician blamed social media, among other things, for the Alternative for Germany’s current rise. [And I’m pretty sure that he would’ve blamed the Printing Press 500+ years ago, since it’s never their own fault that people turn away from them and their LIES.]

“We do not yet have an enlightened approach to these new media,” explained Kretschmer in a speech to the Saxony Industry Club. Kretschmer sees an explanation for this in the fact that many people in Saxony no longer regularly read daily newspapers, but rather get their information via social media. He calls for stronger regulation of the “new media”. [That’s funny, the propagators of darkness calling for enlightenment. I guess that’s going to be by striking a “lucifer” and lighting the faggots for an Auto da Fe with freedom at the stake.]

CDU is preparing for state elections

The AfD’s current poll numbers should be taken “seriously,” but the situation could still be changed, explained Kretschmer. Elections will take place in Saxony in September. The tone of all parties is becoming more tense. On Friday evening, during a closed meeting in Bad Schandau, the CDU state executive committee agreed on a proposal for the state list for the state elections on September 1st. Accordingly, Minister-President and party leader Michael Kretschmer will run as the top candidate in first place on the list.

The other places planned are Culture and Tourism Minister Barbara Klepsch, Secretary General Alexander Dierks, state parliament member Susan Leithoff, parliamentary group leader Christian Hartmann, as well as state parliament members Ines Saborowski, Georg-Ludwig von Breitenbuch and Sandra Gockel. Also on the list is Minister of Education Christian Piwarz. Oliver Schenk, head of the State Chancellery, was nominated as the Saxon CDU’s top candidate for the EU elections.

The final confirmation of the CDU lists for the state elections and the European elections is to take place at a representative meeting on January 20th in Dresden. There is a possibility that there will be opposing candidacies for some places on the list.

Kajal Hindustani: “Jihadis Are Putting a Target Mark on Every Hindu”

Posted on by

The following video from India shows a speech by a Hindu nationalist named Kajal Hindustani. RAIR Foundation has posted this background on the speaker:

In a powerful speech in Kalol, Gujarat, on December 23, Kajal Shingala, popularly known as Kajal Hindustani, addressed a crowd of Hindus and emphasized the importance of unity against Muslim jihadis. Her speech resonated with the audience, urging Hindus to stand up for themselves and their country. However, Kajal Hindustani’s journey as a vocal advocate for the rights and well-being of the Hindu community has been fraught with controversy and threats by Muslim jihadis and their left-wing enablers.

The Iceman Cometh

Posted on by

The National Weather Service forecast for Saturday here at Schloss Bodissey includes a “winter weather advisory”: we are to expect “mixed precipitation”, with “snow accumulations of up to one inch and ice accumulations of one-tenth to two-tenths of an inch.”

Furthermore, “Precipitation is expected to begin as a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain between 4 and 7 AM, then change to mostly freezing rain between 7 AM and 10 AM. Precipitation may mix with or change to rain by late afternoon, before ending during the early evening.”

It doesn’t sound serious enough to cause a power outage, but you never can tell. So if Saturday evening comes along and this is still the top post, and comments aren’t being approved, you’ll know why. Just assume that I am sitting here drinking wine (an Alvarez de Toledo Mencia, probably) by candlelight, keeping the temperature in the house above freezing by using the propane range in the kitchen…


Dymphna’s stove

Update 1:00pm EST: There was a little freezing rain, nothing significant, before I got up this morning. Since then it’s pretty much just been rain. It’s raining hard now, but not much ice on the trees. So it looks like the electricity may stay on, at least for the time being.

It’s the Religion, Stupid

Posted on by

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this German-language post from Twitter:

Thought experiment shows: Climate narrative has long since become an ideology

Let’s assume for a moment that science finds out that temperatures on earth are falling, that CO2 is not the main driver of the climate, or that climate change has a positive impact on crop yields and prosperity will impact worldwide. In other words, the climate panic would be canceled for one of the reasons listed.

What would sound like good news would have massive consequences for the course chosen. The agreements between states to reduce emissions would be invalid, and the restructuring of industry and energy supply that has taken place so far would be meaningless in the new context. Capital flows amounting to thousands of billions of dollars would suddenly be called into question. Party programs would have to be rewritten.

In the thought experiment we can now test how realistic it is to assume that these new scientific findings would actually become widespread. Would the truth be stronger than all party-political, industrial and ideological interests? No, of course not. This assumption would be naïve. No one in power would simply agree to change the climate narrative and put their own interests aside. There is far too much at stake for that.

If this is not the case today, what year was the “point of no return”? When did the climate course become set in stone? The course was set at the latest with the Paris climate agreement in 2015. Presumably already with the establishment of the IPCC in 1988, which had the task of proving man-made climate change.

When viewed from a meta-level, the matter is clear: the climate narrative is an ideology. Science is no longer open-ended. Since probably 1988, at least since 2015. Everything else is wishful thinking. The harsh treatment of critics, the censorship we experience, the massive propaganda in the media underline this result of the thought experiment.

Don’t Call Them Parasites, or You’ll Do Time

Refugees called “parasites” — Twitter user sentenced to three months in prison

Because refugees are “more likely to be parasites,” a man in Baden-Württemberg was given a suspended sentence for incitement to hatred. The process seems dubious.

A 50-year-old man from Heinstetten in Baden-Württemberg wrote on Twitter (now X) on November 15, 2022: “Refugees and displaced people are probably more like parasites.” The public prosecutor’s office then began investigations into sedition. In doing so, the accused is said to have disturbed the public peace, violated people’s human dignity and made them contemptuous.

The case has now been heard at the Albstadt district court. The court found the man guilty of sedition and, at the request of the public prosecutor, imposed a three-month prison sentence, which was then suspended. In addition, the man, who says he is currently unemployed, has to donate €1,500 to a charitable organization.

The man pleaded innocent in court. “I’m innocent,” he said, as the Südwest Presse reported, “you post a lot, right?” He wasn’t aware that anyone could see this post. And: “That was satire. For me, that’s freedom of expression.”

The public prosecutor reportedly replied: “So you thought that was OK? This won’t do you any good.” The punishment would only increase, as three months in prison would be the minimum sentence for sedition. The defendant then said: “Then I withdraw the objection.”

This seems very dubious: such a minimum sentence only refers to a part of the sedition paragraph, which is about “disturbing public peace.” Other forms of sedition can also be punished with fines. To what extent a tweet by a non-prominent person against “parasites” is supposed to endanger public peace is a mystery. But the defendant withdrew his objection because of this statement, apparently out of fear of receiving an even more severe sentence. However, this concern seems completely misplaced.
