Germany: Masked Leftist Terrorists Threaten Police Family

Posted on by

The following article from Politically Incorrect reminds us just how routinely violent the anarchist Left in Germany is. Only when the antifa go too far — which in this case is WAY beyond the bounds of civilized behavior, and directed at the police themselves — does the government dare to call them on their behavior.

Masked Leftist Terrorists Threaten Police Family

May 20, 2018

There is a “new quality of violence against police and their relatives,” say the police in their report on an attack by leftist street gangs against an officer and his family. After an anti-atomic power demonstration on Friday evening, approximately 60 masked persons in the district of Lüchow-Dannenberg are reported to have stormed onto the property of a police officer. According to the police report, the family, alone in the house, was intimidated by the masks, attaching of banners and loud rioting.

After police forces were alerted, they were able to push out the perimeter. In the process, it came to fist fights and physical resistance. The police detained persons from the local as well as the further-flung “leftist scene” on the spot, pending identification, and initiated in consultation with the Lüneburg prosecutor charges of disturbing the peace, threatening, verbal abuse, theft and resisting arrest. Some individuals were taken into custody on the basis of assessed potential for danger. All others were prohibited from returning to the area.

“The police in the area condemn most strongly the aggressions and attempts at intimidation directed at our police officials and their families. Targeted attacks on police officers as private persons, and on their families achieve a new dimension of violence against police officials in the region. This requires total societal opposition, by all legal means.”

That’s a mouthful! We are already acquainted with words like “total societal opposition” from statements in reference to the AfD or “right populists.” As to the photophobic leftist mob, we must be understanding of their “excited protest” which has been exaggerated by “the Right.” So what’s new?

It all seems to be new and surprising for Lower Saxony’s Interior Minister Boris Pistorius, sturdy warrior against the Right and shield of the Left. He writes on Facebook: “I am absolutely appalled by this. It is an incomprehensible violation of limits by this group.” Pistorius says “it’s an incomprehensible violation of limits by this group.” He is clearly at pains to emphasize “this group” rather than leftist terrorism in general in Germany, as expressed last year by an unspeakable act of violence at the G20 Summit.[1]

No one is “appalled” even when the leftist mob harasses AfD campaign booths, physically attacks AfD politicians, burns their cars, defaces their houses, or pummels peaceful demonstrators on their way to Pegida demonstrations

No, of course not, for most of them are, after all, victims “of our society,” and have a right to bring their “understandable” rage to the streets in an act of, so to speak, artistic freedom and thereby make it that much more colorful. And the threatening of the officer and his family was presumably just an application for political office. Beating up on police officers can get as far as the Foreign Minister.

Geert Wilders in front of the British embassy: “I stand here in solidarity with Tommy Robinson”

Posted on by

Yesterday Geert Wilders, the leader of the Party for Freedom (Partij voor de Vrijheid, PVV) in the Netherlands stood in front of the British embassy in The Hague and recorded his outrage about the arrest and imprisonment of Tommy Robinson:

The international coverage of Tommy’s case is unprecedented — he never had anywhere near this much publicity after any of his previous arrests and incarcerations. Maybe his stint at The Rebel has given him a high enough profile in North America so that the word got out.

While I was watching videos about Tommy this evening, I noticed the YouTube sidebar was crammed with clips about the case made by well-known people, not all of them from the “Counterjihad community”. This time is definitely different.

Now we’re all hoping for a Trump tweet about Tommy…

The End Times of Albion: Interacting with the Staatliche Gedankenpolizei — A Survival Guide

Posted on by

The essay below by Seneca III is the latest in the “End Times of Albion” series.
Previously: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

Interacting with the Staatliche Gedankenpolizei — A Survival Guide

The End Times of Albion, Part Four

by Seneca III

Staatliche Gedankenpolizei is German for ‘State Thought Police’. Hereinafter they will be referred to by the acronym ‘STAPO’.

Previously, records released to The Times newspaper under the Freedom of Information Act show that by October 2017 more than 3,400 people had been arrested under the provisions of section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 for online comments alone…

…and therefore it should come as no surprise that many others have been arrested and prosecuted for committing Thought Crimes in person in real time such as in the recent case of the middle-aged lady in London who was initially arrested for wishing someone a ‘gay day’ in what might even be a carefully orchestrated set-up in revenge for her public online humiliation and exposure of the fearful Dhimmitude of the Metropolitan Police in Hyde Park some weeks previously, as was reported here, and the consequences explained in the immediate aftermath here.

What is particularly suspicious about this incident is the fortuitous (for the STAPO case) appearance of an eventually hostile witness who appears to have at first presented himself to the accused as a witness for the defence. That is what led to her unnecessary violent arrest and eventual prosecution for ‘perverting the course of justice’, which in itself is rather ironic when one considers the way the STAPO went about the process of her arrest, interrogation and charging. As they do.

However, I do note some inconsistences or lacunae in the account the victim gave in the taxi going home, possibly owing to the lack of a specific time scale of events throughout this story or her understandable distress having immediately prior to the journey escaped from an ordeal that she had neither experienced before, expected nor understood.

For example: When was her phone confiscated, and when was it returned so that footage could be posted on the Internet? Who was the second person in the taxi with her on the way home, and why and what was her motivation? At what stage did the victim speak with the person whom she presumed was a witness on her behalf, and whose eventual recantation appears to have given grounds for the charge of ‘perverting the course of justice’?

These things give me cause for concern as to what precisely was going on there.

Whereas over the years I have come to understand and thus become inured and hardened to the ways and means by which the Establishment and its enforcement arms have gradually turned my homeland into a Marxist-Islamofascist tyranny, I can nevertheless empathise with this woman’s distress, fear, confusion and susceptibility to intimidation.

Although she is at least a couple of decades younger than I, she will also have been born into and grown to maturity during a time when the police, on the whole, adhered to the rule of law and its prescribed procedures as applicable to their authority and actions, still much in line with the original precepts as laid down by Sir Robert Peel, founder of Metropolitan Police in 1829, but, alas, no more. (See Annex).

Admittedly, the Met does have a long history of a certain amount of corruption within its ranks, but the majority of it, with certain notable exceptions, has been in pursuit of personal financial gain. That is not unusual within large groups of people who have been vested with powers and authority beyond those of the man in the street — Parliament is a perfect example of this syndrome. And now, thanks to the machinations of these two entities, Parliament and the Police, we face a future of harshly imposed subjugation to the ideologies and activities of various alien multicultures and their equally deviant enablers and protectors.

A New Wave of “Refugees” is Heading for Austria

Posted on by

The Austrian government is worried.

The following map and article were published yesterday in Österreich:

Many thanks to Egri Nök for helping me translate the captions on the map:

This is the new route

Old path through Serbia

18,222 border-crossers into Greece — 145% increase compared with the same period in 2017

New trek through Albania — New path for traffickers: From Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia all the way to Austria

Egri also translated the accompanying article:

This is the New Refugee Route

Traffickers found a new route, after the closing of the Balkan Route

Government raises the alarm: Refugee numbers are on the rise, the refugees found a new route to Austria

Stream of refugees

Through May 20 a total of 18,222 people made it across the Aegean to Greece — those are, according to the government, which published new figures on the refugee streams yesterday, 144.8 percent more than in the previous year. Many of them risk their lives by trying to get across the “river of death” Evros between Turkey and Greece. 3,986 people were apprehended there in April — in the month before there were 1,658.

New Route

It is obvious to the experts: The traffickers, after the closing of the Western Balkan route, moved from Macedonia to Albania. This new “Albanian Route” leads from Greece across Albania and either Montenegro or Serbia to Bosnia-Herzegovina. These two countries, however, are just classical “transit countries” — afterwards, the route continues across Croatia and Slovenia to Austria.

Concern

Last year the strongest stream of was refugees unleashed — still via the old route — only in the second half of the year. The government is accordingly worried about the dramatic increase: in Bosnia-Herzegovina, since the beginning of the year, approximately 4,000 illegals have arrived. In the past three weeks alone, there were roughly 1,200 refugees. In comparison: during the entire year of 2017 there were only 755 refugees who were registered in asylum centers in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Slovenia, the final way station before Austria, has recorded an increase in refugees of 380 percent, to 1,500.

Apprehensions

In Austria, the apprehensions of illegal migrants were on the rise: In the week before May 17 there were 352 people, 75 more than the week before.

Kurz and Kickl want to close “Albania Route”

Chancellor Sebastian Kurz gathered his cabinet together on Sunday in summer temperatures in the idyllic Mauerbach (Lower Austria) — but the topic aren’t as idyllic: today, the new welfare measures are introduced [to the press]. But mainly the government is warning of a second wave of refugees, which Kurz, Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl, and Interior Minister Herbert Kickl think they are seeing in the Balkans: According to Kneissl, currently, there are about 30,000 to 40,000 refugees waiting in the Balkans. This new route should be closed preventively:

Solzhenitsyn Time

Posted on by

Paul Weston calls it Orwellian, but this event is far beyond Orwell’s wildest nightmares. It is a place where one’s lawyer is lied to; a place where you can find yourself in the slammer surrounded by murderers who’d be happy to kill you for nothing. Solzhenitsyn would have understood this exactly for what it is: brute force against an unarmed populace with an undercurrent of murderous intent.

It is good that Mr. Weston can still speak of this; I am becoming mute, as gradually happened during Tommy Robinson’s last incarceration…

It’s Come to This

Posted on by

That’s right, it’s come to this,
yes it’s come to this,
and wasn’t it a long way down,
wasn’t it a strange way down?

— Leonard Cohen, from “Dress Rehearsal Rag”

I’ve used the title and epigraph for this post several times in the past. I expect I’ll need to use them again in the future. And, given the current freefall of Western political culture, they could well become so clichéd that I’ll eventually have to abandon them.

Just step back for a moment and contemplate how far we have fallen in the past decade or two. Tonight’s focus is on Great Britain, but the situation in Sweden, or Canada, or Germany — or even in the United States, from time to time — could be as easily adduced.

The façade of liberal democracy is still being maintained everywhere, but the institution itself is actually a corpse. It’s like that old movie Weekend at Bernie’s, where two guys carry around a dead body, propping it up and manipulating its limbs to make it seem alive.

At some point, however, the smell will become noticeable…

As you all know by now, the renowned Counterjihad activist Tommy Robinson was arrested last Friday while he was doing a live-stream report on the final phase of a “grooming” trial at Leeds Crown Court. The suspected crime for which he was apprehended was “breach of the peace”, even though it is widely assumed that he was picked up for violating the ban on reporting about the trial.

Since Tommy was still on probation for an earlier (and similar) offense, his arrest was a violation of the terms of his probation. He was immediately taken before a judge, convicted, and sentenced to thirteen months in prison, reportedly in Hull. Since then there has been at least a partial media blackout on reporting about his arrest.

On Saturday morning my good friend Steen, the proprietor of the popular Danish blog Snaphanen, emailed to ask me if there was anything he could do to help, besides writing about the case. Like the rest of us, he was worried about what might happen during Tommy’s incarceration amongst mostly Muslim prisoners.

I told him it would be a good idea to donate to Tommy (here). However, I’m afraid that money alone may not do the trick like it did a few years ago. In that previous case his supporters mounted a big fundraising push and raised enough money to hire a QC (which is like a high-powered defense lawyer). Thanks to his improved legal representation, he was acquitted of the ludicrous charges that had been laid against him.

Given the rate at which people are donating to him, he should be able to hire competent counsel this time, too. His arrest has generated a lot of attention among us deplorables — despite the media muzzle, the word got out, to the point where at least three major demonstrations have been mounted in London over the weekend.

This case is different from previous ones, however. The arrest was obviously planned well in advance, and the “breach of the peace” charge is a just vague catch-all term that comes in handy against troublesome dissidents who need to be suppressed. The goal was to whisk him in front of judge for violating his probation and get him bunged inside as fast as possible. And if his culture-enriching fellow inmates happen to rough him up a little too much and cause his unfortunate demise — well, that will save the State a lot of trouble and inconvenience. “We deplore this cowardly act, and will act firmly to bring the perpetrators to justice under the full severity of the law…” etc blah yak.

The authorities seem to have him sewed up tight, and I’m not sure that a QC will be enough to engineer his release. This was a political arrest, and the only thing that could spring Tommy now would be the same thing that got him put away: political pressure.

There is no doubt in my mind that the Home Office — under the leadership of the recently appointed Home Secretary, Sajid Javid — gave the orders and arranged the banging-up of Tommy Robinson in Leeds. And putting political pressure on the Home Office is the only way his imprisonment could be reversed.

So who will put pressure on the Home Office? Obviously not the Tory leadership, who are neck-deep in the conspiracy to silence Tommy Robinson. And Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party would be at least as glad to see Tommy rot in prison. The Lib-Dems — in the unlikely event that they were to take a principled stance on the issue — no longer have any meaningful clout. And UKIP has even less.

Even if Tommy weren’t a Catholic, I doubt the Archbishop of Canterbury would intercede on his behalf. And I don’t expect Pope Francis to take an interest in his case.

So who does that leave? Who can hold the government’s feet to the fire?

Rescue Squad Targeted by Culture-Enrichers in Uddevalla

Many thanks to FouseSquawk for translating this article from Fria Tider:

SD: Attacks against blue-light [emergency] personnel should bring at least four years in prison

May 24, 2018

DOMESTIC. After yesterday’s stone-throwing incident against the rescue service in Uddevalla, the Sweden Democrats now want such perpetrators to be severely punished: at least four years in prison.

It was just before 11pm on Thursday that the rescue service in Uddevalla was alerted that “young people” had lit an uncontrolled fire in a barbecue area.

Upon arrival they were met by stone throwing and personnel were hit by stones, but without serious injury.

Now the Sweden Democrats want to put on the hard gloves against the people behind such attacks.

At least four years in prison, according to the party.

“Yesterday the rescue service was exposed to stone-throwing when they were on duty. One of the emergency services staff was hit.” For SD, it’s completely unacceptable to attack blue-light personnel. “We therefore propose a minimum sentence of at least four years in prison,” the Sweden Democrats wrote on Twitter.

More Information on Tommy — Another Demo Tomorrow at Speaker’s Corner

Posted on by

Information from Facebook, including Tommy Robinson’s address, and how people can help him:

Due to the reporting restrictions set down by the judge I am unable to report on anything said or done in the court room other than Tommy was given 13 months for Contempt of Court and immediately taken to prison.

Tommy’s solicitor is meeting Tommy on Tuesday to discuss what next steps can be taken, if any. She was deliberately misled by the police, who informed her on the phone that he was being released, and when she asked for confirmation that he would be released and that there was no need for her to travel to Leeds they informed her that was correct. The police immediately took Tommy to the court and appointed a Court Solicitor, who was useless.

Below are details to contact Tommy if you wish to send messages of support, money for postage stamps, phone calls and food/toiletries are always appreciated. Tommy is okay so far.

A report from today’s demo outside 10 Downing Street:

About 1,000 supporters turned up. The police were not expecting it. We managed to block Whitehall traffic both ways for a couple of hours with traffic piling back.

The police were unprepared, and when they did turn up were treated to chants of “scum, scum”. There was one moment when it looked as if they were moving in on the crowd, but the moment passed and the crowd marched up Whitehall, past the Houses of Parliament and into a nearby park where there were speeches by Raheem Kassam, Gerard Batten, Janice Atkinson MEP and a few others. Then the crowd dispersed quietly.

Another demo has been planned for 1pm to 4pm tomorrow (Sunday) at Speaker’s Corner. Anne Marie Waters is due to speak.

Paul Weston: Britain is Now a Genuine Police State

Posted on by

The following essay by Paul Weston was adapted from a comment he made on yesterday’s post about the imprisonment of Tommy Robinson.

Britain is Now a Genuine Police State

By Paul Weston

There are a number of court cases taking place in Britain which are subject to reporting restrictions. A good percentage of these — and we really don’t know how many, which I think is rather the idea — relate to Muslim gang-rape trials. Tommy was under a 13-month suspended sentence for previously reporting on a gang-rape trial subject to reporting restrictions. In other words, if he broke the law again he would then serve the jail time as per the initial sentence.

I’m not sure if the trial he was reporting on when he was arrested was yet another “reporting restriction” case, but if it was (which I think it was) the police have a duty to issue a warning before taking action if the warning was ignored. Again, I am unsure as to what happened here.

But the police made no mention of reporting restrictions or contempt of court; they arrested him for “breaching the peace” which would seem to be a total fabrication and therefore unlawful. His immediate hearing and sentencing suggests this was a planned action by the police (and our lovely government) in order to shut him down.

To further reinforce the actions of a totalitarian state, a reporting restriction has now been put into operation with regard to his arrest. Tommy has been “disappeared” in much the same manner as countless others were airbrushed out of existence in genuine totalitarian regimes abroad, but I think this is the first time in England that a citizen has been “disappeared” in such a blatant way.

Even more horrifying is the supine manner in which this grotesque act of totalitarianism has been received by our media and purported civil-liberties merchants, none of whom have raised a murmur of disapproval at the time of this writing.

Couple this with the video of the woman arrested a few days ago by the police who threatened to break her down if she refused to open it — “DO NOT RESIST US! DO NOT RESIST US!” and I think it is very clear that the government, given the choice of crushing Islam or crushing those who question Islam, have chosen to crush the latter.

So the decent, democratic Britain I was born into has now gone. I warned some years ago of the direction the British police were taking (“Multiculturalism Has Destroyed the British Police”), and it is time to realise Britain is now a genuine Police State.
