Loud clanging noises woke a 59-year-old man from Billerbeck from his sleep on Saturday night (around 3.30 a.m.). He looked out of the window (facing the church square) but could not see anyone because of the darkness. He only heard two voices moving away in the direction of Lange Street. The next morning he noticed that the glass weather protection of the “Saint Anthony” ( statue) had been smashed and reported this to the sexton in charge of St. John’s Church.

Information to the police in Coesfeld by calling 02541-140.

Legal scandal in a German court about thugs belonging to an Arab clan – 30 Arabs attacked construction workers and seriously injured them, but will probably get off without punishment

A mob of about 30 thugs could apparently attack workers at a construction site with impunity, beat up three victims and stab a man!

Seven and a half years after the unbelievable construction site attack by a family clan at Hohentorsplatz square (in Bremen’s Neustadt district), the trial finally opened in court on Tuesday. For dangerous bodily harm committed as a group.But there were only two men in the dock. Kemal M. (39) and Walid C. (37). And the judge did not conceal the fact that he would either quickly stop the trial or otherwise impose a lenient sentence in exchange for confessions.The barbaric attack horrified the people of Bremen in August 2013: Four clan members carelessly walked through a cordoned-off construction site. The workers tried to scare them away. According to the police, they ” informed the pedestrians of the wrong behaviour”.According to the defence lawyer, it sounded like, “Get your asses off the construction site!”

30 minutes later, the two adults and two juvenile troublemakers returned with about 30 members of the clan. They beat three victims to the ground, kicked one in the head and upper body, causing bruises to all of them. A fourth construction worker was cut in the back by a perpetrator and suffered a wound 15 centimetres long.

After the cowardly attack, the mob fled and hid in nearby flats. The police arrived with twenty emergency vehicles and searched a block of flats with the Special Police Unit (SEK). Twelve suspects were investigated, 21 men had fled.

Because there were so many thugs, most of them could not be charged with any specific crime. The knifeman is still unknown. Five men were to be charged. But the investigations against three suspects have now been dropped after negotiations behind the scenes!

And the two remaining defendants waited for years for their trial because the district court had too few staff. The few judges had to take care of “more important” trials and cases in which the defendants were in custody, it is said.

The fact that an amicable settlement was not already reached in court on Tuesday is thanks to the defence lawyers, of all people. Before their defendants testify, they want the construction workers who were injured at the time to testify as witnesses.

The trial is to continue.

Five million right-wing extremists in Germany?

The Bertelsmann Foundation in Gütersloh has classified the political attitudes of around five million Germans as “right-wing extremist”. This has emerged from a study published by the foundation established in 1977 as a tax-evasion scheme.

The authors see right-wing extremist potential in the voters of all parties, even in the Greens, the SPD and the Left, but above all – the AfD.

In the past, there was a consensus that political extremism was a matter for the fringes, the splinter parties that only represent a few per thousand of the population. This basic understanding of what the term “extremism” actually means, is evidently changing to include everyone who does not slavishly follow mainstream dictates.

For example, anyone who dared to say that “their country should have the courage to foster a strong national feeling” immediately aroused suspicion. If instead one were to speak of a “normal national feeling”, then the sentiment was deemed to be correct. Many respondents in interviews naturally did not pay attention to these linguistic details.

“Right-wing extremists” were also those who agreed with the sentence: “The [German] Federal Republic is dangerously being swamped by the many foreigners.” This happens to be true, but apparently stating the obvious, is an extremist stance.

Furthermore, “right-wing extremists” were also those who agreed with the statement: “If jobs become scarce, the foreigners should be sent back to their homeland.”

The thrust of the study is evident: While the CDU/CSU, SPD, FDP, Greens and Left were only mentioned a dozen times in the study, the AfD party members gave the “wrong” answers more than all the other parties combined. The study, which supposedly meets “scientific requirements” is therefore nothing more than an extended campaign against the AfD.

The Bertelsmann Foundation’s tax-evasion scheme has been particularly useful in keeping the political class in power. Apparently, the authors do not even shy away from blanket insults against large sections of the population.

Presenter Peter Hahne, a former employee of the ZDF public broadcaster, has meanwhile accused public broadcasters of a one-sided guest selection. AfD politicians – the largest opposition in the Bundestag – are being totally marginalized there, Hahne told Berlin weekly Junge Freiheit. “The fact that talk shows mutate into high government offices despite their complete failure in Corona and vaccination policy shows that the parallel society of media makers has absolutely no sensitivity to the world of AfD voters: teachers, police officers, unconventional scientists, soldiers, workers.”

It is apparently easier to “pay homage to the ruling line of the mighty” than to familiarize oneself with any matter to counter it.

In the evaluation of guest lists of the various talk shows, until mid-December, the most frequent representatives were politicians from the CDU and CSU (94), followed by the SPD (83), the Greens (32), the FDP (28) and the Left Party (19). The AfD as the largest opposition party in the Bundestag was lagging behind with a mere six appearances in last place.

Even in the first month of the German election year 2021, the four biggest talk shows did not change their invitation policy, as an evaluation by Junge Freiheitof the guest lists from January showed. The Union made 14 appearances, the SPD eleven, the Greens four invitations and the FDP three. Politicians from the AfD and the Left Party, on the other hand, were not allowed to sit in the panel discussions once.

Claudia Tenney Finally Wins 22nd-NY Seat in Congress for GOP … Not So Fast

A New York state trial court judge has ruled that Republican Claudia Tenney has won New York’s 22nd Congressional District election, an outcome that has been tied up in court since November. New York Judge Scott J. DelConte issued a final order finding that Tenney gained votes after her narrow November win, thus increasing her lead to 123 votes over Anthony Brindisi and thus is the winner of the November election.

Despite Tenney’s victory, Democrat campaign lawyer Marc Elias has become the new Lin Wood – tying up the victory in courts and denying the obvious win for Tenney.

After Tenney’s win, Elias’ law firm sought a stay of the ruling, effectively blocking Tenney from taking her seat.

At issue for the last few months has been the role of provisional ballots. Under the Help America Vote Act of 2002, if an individual presenting himself to vote thinks he is registered, he has a federal right to cast a provisional ballot. Whether or not that ballot is counted depends on if that person proves ultimately to have actually been registered.

In Tenney’s case, Democrat lawyers only wanted 69 provisional ballots counted out of hundreds that were at issue.  Naturally, those 69 were registered Democrats.

Tenney’s legal team opposed the selective counting and a court in New York ordered all of the appropriate provisional ballots to be counted – an outcome that handed Tenney the win yesterday.

Not so fast.

In his best Kraken impersonation, Elias’ legal team vowed to gum up the outcome further by seeking a stay of Tenney’s win and filing what will prove to be a frivolous appeal.

Ironically, Elias just criticized the same approach in the presidential election:

“Part of the goal on Trump’s part was to delegitimize the election, because he’s a loser and he doesn’t want to be known as a loser,” Elias says. “The overwhelming majority of these cases were either frivolous or near-frivolous, in that they were procedurally infirmed or based on wild-eyed conspiracy theories. And that’s all borne out in the way in which the courts have treated them.”

Tenney has won a seat in Congress, but Elias and his team of 54 – that’s right, fifty-four – Democrat lawyers are trying to delegitimize her win with a frivolous stay and appeal. In January, interfering with the legitimate outcome of an election would get you kicked off Twitter and banned from polite company.

In February, that is no longer a concern, especially when the winner is a Republican who would shrink the Democrat majority in the House to the narrowest of margins.

In December, seeking a stay to block the legitimate outcome of an election would be an affront to Democracy. In February, when a Republican wins a House seat, seeking a stay and appeal is just a way to run up billable hours to the Brindisi campaign.

All of this illustrates a simple truth that everyone understood all along, both Republicans and Democrats. When Republicans win, the 54 lawyers at Perkins Coie like Marc Elias will leave no stone unturned to snatch a win from defeat. Just ask Norm Coleman in Minnesota.

But when Republicans exercise the same prerogative after an election, democracy is under threat. The depths of hypocrisy are bottomless.

Young French girls may not view ‘racist’ Peter Pan, but they may be veiled by Muslims

by Giulio Meotti 

“We feminists committed to women’s rights, social progress and equality…”. It is the appeal of 55 French feminists published in the weekly Le Point. They claim that polygamy is an attack on dignity and demand a ban on virginity certificates, both part of the Muslim French world. In fact, in France the law against Islamic separatism is under discussion, but the government of Emmanuel Macron has refused to ban the veil for girls.

A deputy from Macron’s “En marche” party, Aurore Bergé, had introduced an amendment to prohibit the veil for girls, but the amendment was rejected. On the day of the presentation of the bill in the Council of Ministers, Bergé denounced the veil for girls with these words: “Are they expected to be modest at 2, 3, 4 years old? This means that from an early age they are separated from the Republic”.

In October, the Moroccan journalist Zineb el Rhazoui had also asked the government to ban the veil in childhood: “No child in France should be deprived of her fundamental rights, reified and subtracted from the republican promise of equal rights”.

The harshest comment on the government’s surrender to the veil is by political scientist Fréderic Saint Clair:

“With this implicit authorization to impose itself freely in the public space at all ages, even the youngest chidren, the veil has just made a sensational entry into what the president emphatically calls it ‘the French art of living’. Cowardice? Yes of course. They tremble in the face of Islam, like the elite of Visigothic Spain in the eighth century in the face of the Umayyad advance. Emmanuel Macron and his supporters are organizing the subjugation of the Republic. Letting France’s base of civilization crumble through cultural Islam, Macron fails to see that he is participating in the downfall of the Republic. This fragmented base will be too fragile to support the Republic. And it will collapse”.

Disney Plus meanwhile has decided that “Peter Pan”, “The Aristocats” and “Dumbo” are racist and thus eliminated these cartoons from the streaming service for children under seven.In the French weekly L’Express, the Iranian writer Abnousse Shalmani, who fled Khomeini’s Iran to find shelter when she refused to wear the veil to go to school, notes that whistling at a woman in the street is a crime in France, “the unbearable heterosexual patriarchal injunction”, while “watching the ‘Aristocats’, ‘Peter Pan’ or ‘Beauty and the Beast’ undoubtedly transforms you into a future enemy of humanity, encourages a white supremacist tendency.  It seems that a veiled girl represents the pinnacle of satisfaction in our societies, suffering from the cancer of tolerance, and where the sexualization of the bodies of Muslim girls is accepted, defended and applauded”.

Shalmani finds pleasure in desecrating the short circuits of our tolerance. She writes in L’Express: “I laughed thanks to the new director of the Paris Opera who, with incredible lightness, announced that he wanted to remove the ballet classics from the repertoire. Because it is well known that the ‘Nutcracker’ or ‘Swan Lake’ are instruments of discrimination, propaganda works of white supremacy and that by continuing to propagate these fascist horrors we are promoting racial injustice. “

Shalmani’s reference is to Alexander Neef, who announced the disappearance of “certain works” promoted by Rudolf Nureyev, director of dance at the Paris Opera from 1983 to 1989. Neef names the names, from “Swan Lake” to “Nutcracker”. “Some works will undoubtedly disappear from the repertoire,” says Neef.

Shalmani is part of a group of dissidents in the Islamic world who are defending the West better than Westerners are. In an article in Le Figaro, the Iranian writer attacked the new anti-racists: “It is racism disguised as humanism”.
