The capital of Germany, ruled by a coalition of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, The Left [Die Linke], and The Greens, is embroiled in a new mega construction scandal. This latest scandal comes in the wake of two senior lawmakers from German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative alliance resigning after accusations that they had profited from the Coronavirus pandemic through kickbacks for state purchases of face masks.

In Berlin, almost 50 “modular accommodation units for refugees” (MUF) have swallowed up a total of more than a billion euros in construction and other costs. According to the Senate, the production costs an incredible €1 600 to €2 600 per square meter — far too expensive and dubious for simple prefabricated buildings. It should be lower than the average cost, which is around €1 400.

Thus, with the monthly salary of a German taxpayer, one square meter of living space is created for people who for the most part are not even allowed to be the country.

But the project is also legally questionable, according to the AfD magazine Kompakt: “We have never experienced such a brazen abuse of special building rights as in Berlin in all of Germany,” said a lawyer. Meanwhile, there is even speculation about demolitions being carried out, because the migrant accommodation is only allowed to be inhabited by asylum seekers and Berlin wants to transfer them to the regular housing market.

Also in connection with alleged Corona fraud, the state security and public prosecutor in Berlin are investigating around 60 Islamist groups with more than a hundred individuals, associations and mosque associations involved in criminal dealings. In several cases there is even “the suspicion of direct terrorist financing”, reported German daily Die Welt, citing “circles of Berlin’s law enforcement authorities”. It is yet another example of how ordinary self-employed Germans and employees have to suffer their corrupt elites.

The unprecedented failure of the Federal Economics Minister Peter Altmaier (CDU), who has himself been drowning in scandals, does not end there. Only a few days ago it was reported that Altmaier had to put the Corona aid on hold because an IT botch in his home enabled systematic abuse of the funding. Altmaier’s reputation has suffered from his unconditional courting of Angela Merkel and the metamorphosis of the CDU to a left-wing party, AfD insiders say.

Jennifer W., accused of being an IS terrorist, described her former husband as violent before the Munich Higher Regional Court (OLG) on Monday. He had beaten the Yazidi woman and the girl who had lived in their house in Iraq – for reasons that were getting more and more null and void.

The Federal Prosecutor’s Office accuses the young woman from Lohne (Vechta district) in Lower Saxony of becoming a member of the terrorist organisation Islamic State (IS) in Iraq and keeping a mother and her daughter in her house as slaves.

The 29-year-old had also recently testified about her allegedly violent husband before the Frankfurt Higher Regional Court, where the Iraqi is charged with the same crime as she is: A little Yazidi girl allegedly died in the courtyard of their house in Fallujah (Iraq) in 2015 – tied up in the burning heat. The man allegedly tied her up and Jennifer W. stood impassively by.

She did not dare to untie the child, the accused said. About the day the child is said to have died, she had already said in Frankfurt that she had not dared to intervene. “I then thought about what I was going to do, but didn’t dare.” Then she had looked after the child again. “I saw that she was getting weaker.”

In Munich, Jennifer W. has so far only made a written statement, which her lawyer read out in court. She announced, however, that she would answer the court’s questions herself – but not those of the Federal Prosecution or the plaintiffs. It is possible that this will be continued on the next day of the trial on Friday.

The current dispute among members of the British Royal Family goes far beyond private family matters concerning Queen Elizabeth II, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and the Cambridges.  It is about more than personality differences, hurt feelings, and tears about flower girl dresses.

The current battle royale is a symbolic and real struggle between opposite worldviews.  On the one side is the constitutional monarchy of Britain, headed by Queen Elizabeth II and all that the monarchy and the commonwealth stand for: lineage, history, tradition, and nation.  On the other side are arrayed converts to “woke” ideology who are committed to modernism embracing radical change, egalitarianism, and supranational global interests.

Tellingly, among the allies supporting the Sussexes’ rebellion against the queen, the prince of Wales and the Cambridges are progressives who also have considered the Trump presidency and his supporters illegitimate: Oprah Winfrey; Hillary Clinton; Michelle Obama; and Joe Biden, who called Meghan Markle’s charges against the Royal Family an act of “courage.” 

It seems the attempt is being made by Meghan and Harry to portray the royal leaders of the commonwealth as irretrievably racist.  The Sussexes’ insinuative comment about someone in the Royal Family pejoratively mentioning son Archie’s skin color — if indeed such a comment was made at all — became a means for a general condemnation of British royalty.  The “firm,” as Markle called the Royal Family, has been judged as systemically racist.

The alliances so carefully held together by Elizabeth II are seen as infected by systemic racism that needs to be cleansed by the infusion of fresh blood, by those who will eradicate the remnants of racist colonial oppression by completing the decolonization of the British commonwealth. 

The Sussexes’ accusations of racism among the Royal Family, if they succeed in being taken seriously, would effectively delegitimize the British monarchy and the commonwealth.

No weapon against the Royal Family could have been more successfully forged or so cleverly and manipulatively employed.  That is because racism is seen by progressives as ubiquitous as original sin and therefore as infecting every act and word of the royal family, no matter how seemingly charitable.  Since racism is systemic, it does not require proof.  It just is there and is removed only by the newly “woke,” who see it clearly and who, as the true heirs to the throne, will eradicate it.  It may only be exterminated by a replacement of the entire order.

The battle is essentially a religious and political fight, as fights for the throne have almost always been.  The contest is just as significant as the centuries’ long fights among Protestant and Catholic monarchs, one of which was the struggle between Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots.

The irony is that Meghan Markle and her husband Prince Harry, while clinging tightly to royal titles and privileges, apparently are true believers in the current egalitarian democratic movement that is anti-monarchical and anti-hierarchical in general.  Progressivism reflects the influence of the anti-monarchy radicals of the French Revolution.  Liberté, égalité, fraternité demanded freedom from all hierarchical restraints, monarchical and religious.

The difference is that the Sussexes give every indication of wishing to retaining the power and wealth of the monarchy but imitate Evita Perón or Imelda Marcos.  Retain the designer wardrobe, the 3,000 pairs of shoes and the popular influence, but ditch traditions and protocol. In short, embrace the “woke” idea of equality: access to all the privilege and wealth without retaining the history of the nation, the monarchy, or the church.

Their rebellion also may be seen as an attempt to take advantage of the global reach of the commonwealth and to put its remaining influence under the banner of globalist progressivism.  The “woke” routinely seek to eliminate present day “rulers,” and to elevate themselves by means of an omnipotent media and partisan mobs that seek to overshadow what crowns still survive.  They ignore the words of B.G. Niebuhr, who wrote, “Our hereditary dynasties are our good fortune, which we will realize once we have lost them.”

Ironically, some royals like Prince Charles already have some rather progressive but apparently insufficiently radical beliefs, and are considered unqualified by the Sussexes to lead the nation and commonwealth in a more radical direction.  The goal may be not to totally destroy the institution, but to retain the riches and privileges while changing the ideological direction and employing the structure of the monarchy and the commonwealth as an instrument of globalism.

No one should be surprised about the current battles royal.  The same battles are being fought in every Western institution, including academia, the media, and the churches. 

It is noteworthy that the University of Leicester has announced that it may stop teaching Geoffrey Chaucer’s work and other medieval literature in favor of courses on race and sexuality.  As the Daily Mail has reported, England’s foundational texts like The Canterbury Tales and the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulfwould no longer be taught under proposals to scrap medieval literature altogether as a part of decolonization.  Scholars who have spent a lifetime on research and teaching would be replaced.  The halls of the University of Leicester would not be torn down, but they will, if the plan is implemented, be occupied by new order courtiers who will utilize academia to promote “woke” ideology.  

Last and not so incidentally, the Sussexes have mounted an attack on the Church of England.  Queen Elizabeth is the head of the church, which for good or ill has been allied with royal authority since the time of Henry VIII.  Markle dissociated herself from the wedding ceremony of the Church of England, which numbers some 85 million members around the globe, by insisting she and Harry were married privately and that the lavish ceremony was just a public spectacle.

One can scarcely avoid the conclusion that the archbishop of Canterbury was seen as a bit player to be moved onto a backyard stage set.  But it appears Welby is unwilling to be moved about like a Hollywood extra, entering stage left to perform sacred rituals on command.  While he has demurred from accusing the duo of falsehoods, officials of the church have made it known  no such wedding took place and that the archbishop believes that the established protocol and liturgy surrounding marriage was properly observed. 

The Church of England deals with the gospel of wokeness with varying degrees of success and failure on an almost daily basis.  However, it appears unwilling to subject itself to leveling pretenders who are ignorant of the church’s history, talking of it with arrogance, and superficiality in order to subject it to lower ends.

There is an answer to the problems the “woke” Sussexes present to the throne of England and the commonwealth. 

The anti-hierarchical ideology they promote while seeking to retain royal privilege and wealth should be utterly repudiated by the British monarchy.  They also should be given the freedom they continually have asked for: release from any royal title or role and freedom to be merely private citizens.

Otherwise, the English crown will remain uneasy as it is continually beset by rebels against it.

A police patrol in Connewitz, a district in Leipzig that’s become closely associated with far-left extremism over the years, was attacked by a mob of 30 to 40 alleged left-wing extremists after they responded to report that several garbage bins had been set alight at the Herderpark.

After arriving at the scene early Sunday morning at roughly 1:15 a.m., the police quickly realized they had been lured into an ambush, when dozens of alleged left-wing extremists hurled glass bottles and other projectiles at their vehicle before the group split up into different directions, local German newspaper Leipziger Volkszeitung reports.

“When informed police officers arrived on site, their patrol car was pelted with bottles by a group of around 30 to 40 people,” a spokesperson for Leipzig police told BILD, Germany’s most widely-circulated newspaper.

An investigation into the breach of peace has been launched. Given that a political motive could not be excluded, apparently, the possibility of the State Criminal Police Office taking control of the case is being considered.

The Connewitz district in the Eastern German city of Leipzig, has over the years become well-known for its large population of far-left extremists who regularly attack the Connewitz police station.

The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) in Saxony has noted that violent left-wing extremism is particularly pervasive in Leipzig, Remix News previously reported.

“The violence-oriented left-wing extremist scene is reaching a new level of escalation due to the criminal and violent acts it has committed,” the BfV Saxony reported.

In 2019, Leipzig saw a string of highly organized, well-planned attacks against people and property by left-wing extremists. Individuals describing themselves as “anarchists” repeatedly attempted burning down multiple construction sites in the city. The attacks are said to have resulted in at least €10 million in damage.

In November 2019, an employee of the construction company that the self-described anarchists had been waging war against, was viciously beaten by members of the extremist group in her own home after they forcefully took it over.

These events prompted the creation of a special police taskforce named Soko-Linx whose sole task is to investigate left-wing crimes with a suspected political motive.

In January, an attempt to burn down the state registration authority in Braunschweig, Lower Saxony was made. Police assigned to the case say that the suspects have left-wing extremist backgrounds.

Last New Year’s Eve, a 38-year-old police officer in Leipzig was nearly beaten to death by a mob of ten or so militant Antifa members in the Connewitz district. The extremists beat the officers so badly that some of his injuries required him to undergo emergency surgery at a nearby hospital that same night.

The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) noted that a 22-page analysis carried out by the domestic intelligence service in 2020 indicated that a trend toward radicalization in the left-wing extremist or “anarchist” was growing. In the same 22-page analysis, published last year, the report cautioned against the “emergence of terrorist structures within far-left extremist scene”.

Scuffles broke out on the streets of Kassel as a COVID-sceptics march was countered by groups of Antifa on Saturday. Police were seen pushing back on COVID-sceptics as tensions arose. At least one fight briefly broke out between the two the anti-lockdown protesters and a member of the Antifa. The protest took place just days before Chancellor Angela Merkel is set to meet state leaders to discuss an extension of the lockdown restrictions initially imposed in December amidst fears Germany may be heading towards a ‘third wave’ of COVID-19 amidst mounting infection rates. According to the latest data compiled the Robert Koch Institute, Germany has reported over 2 and a half million COVID cases, and 74,565 related deaths.

Hundreds of anti-lockdown and anti-government protesters marched through the streets of Vienna on Saturday. Protesters were seen waving Austrian flags and giant banners reading: ‘Kurz must go,’ demanding the resignation of Chancellor Sebastian Kurz. Many were visibly not wearing masks nor following social distancing rules, leading the police to dissolve the protest for non-respect of safety and hygiene guidelines. According to reports, 11 people were arrested. Austria is considering relaxing some of its lockdown rules by allowing restaurant, cafe and bar terraces to open again on March 27. On Friday, the country reported its highest level of new infections since early December, with 3,500 registered cases.

After the councillor Nasser Zeaiter, who came under pressure in the Hezbollah affair, first had to admit personal contacts with leaders of the terrorist organisation, which is banned in Germany, and then resigned from the Green Party, the latter finally managed to ask him to resign from his council mandate and the chairmanship of the council on migration and integration. Even though the statement by the party and parliamentary group leadership of the Mönchengladbach Greens did not show any real awareness of the problem and was only aimed at maintaining the party’s own parliamentary group strength, the Junge Union explicitly welcomes its objective:

“Anyone who has contacts with leading terrorists and also stages these connections in the social media for publicity purposes disqualifies himself for any political mandate,” said JU district board member Roderich Busch. “The council for integration fulfils an important social function, which must not be burdened by such connections under any circumstances. For this reason, Nasser Zeaiter’s immediate resignation from all offices is more than overdue.”

If Zeaiter’s resignation from the parliamentary group remains unchanged while he retains his seat on the council, this is probably due to material reasons. Although politically completely meaningless, Zeaiter would still be able to receive the corresponding expense allowances totalling more than 25,000 euros for another four and a half years.

Furthermore, it should not go unmentioned that Nasser Zeaiter’s second deputy, Zeina Wehbe, is also an active member of the controversial Al-Ghadir Association and also acted as deputy chairperson there for many years. Her role must therefore also be critically questioned in this context and examined for possible entanglements in order to push for a replacement in her position as well, if necessary.

“Since, according to Interior Minister Reul, the problems of the Al-Ghadir Association and its protagonists had already been well known to Lord Mayor Heinrichs since December, it remains a mystery to any sincere democrat why this scandal was apparently swept under the carpet at first. swept under the carpet. We call on you, Mr Heinrichs, as well as the parliamentary group chairmen Jannan Safi, Dr Boris Wolkowski and Nicole Finger, to finally take action. Put an end to this deplorable charade when Nasser Zeaiter, as announced, asks for a vote of confidence in the Council of Integration and clear the way for deputies with a real sense of democracy, religious peace and integration.” Lukas Joeckel, JU Mönchengladbach candidate for the executive CDU district executive, concluded.
