On Sunday, there were exceptionally more Germans than Turks at a German-Turkish cultural association in the Hamburg district of St. Georg.Because the police stormed the place with a large number of police officers and arrested 20 Turks who were apparently gambling for large sums of money.No, the Turks in Hamburg St. Georg do not have the state licence to rip off, and so it happened as it had to happen: their Corona party ended abruptly. In addition to a preliminary investigation on suspicion of illegal gambling, they now face administrative offence proceedings for an apparent violation of the Corona Containment Ordinance.The broadcaster RTL reports, based on a report by the news agency dpa, that one of the suspects was carrying a large sum of cash and is therefore suspected of money laundering. The search was carried out on the basis of an anonymous information, according to the report. The multi-cultural background of the cultural association is not mentioned by dpa and RTL.This was remedied by the tabloid portal hamburg24.de, whose editor Fabian Raddatz obviously is familiar with the club and consequently added useful information to the selective information provided by dpa.

This election isn’t going to stand.

It will not stand up to the facts pouring in from every quarter that a fraud of unprecedented magnitude has been perpetrated on the American people — or, at any rate, on those who may still be considered, and who consider themselves, as loyal Americans.

It will not stand against an unmitigated force of a million or more American patriots flooding the streets of Washington, DC in a massive display of support for a legitimate president and a threatened Republic.

It will not stand against the raw determination, the Jacksonian character, and the astute and resourceful intelligence of a president like none in modern American history, despite the orchestrated campaign of unrelenting media slander launched against him

Licit resistance against a pervasive electoral hoax will, of course, be contested by a veritable army of those either too invested in pulling of a swindle that dwarfs anything ever seen before — not excluding the 1824 “corrupt bargain” that cheated Andrew Jackson of the presidency — or those too cowardly, fearful, indifferent and morally invertebrate to oppose the “Olympian” machinations of the elite classes or to face down the specter of mob violence.

Licit resistance is also potentially undermined by many well-meaning, ostensible “pragmatists” who have already conceded victory to a flagrant impostor in the belief that it is inevitable and that various subsequent “workarounds” may be possible to dilute or parry the political repression of a Democratic administration. The delusion persists. But in the last analysis loyal Americans in their multitudes will not be daunted by domestic enemies or confounded by ideological fissures in their own ranks.

If the word “American” is to mean anything at all, including the pledge to defend the Constitution against enemies both domestic and foreign as per the Oath of Office, to contribute to the nation’s prosperity and maintain its traditions, to preserve its history, to defend its borders, and to love the ideal of greatness which is its patrimony, then the word does not apply to those who practice treachery or who are too timid and abject to rise to the defence of the nation in its time of trial and turbulence, wherever such tergiversators may be found.

This election will not stand. It is too corrupt to withstand scrutiny. Many may regard it as too big to fail. But it is not big enough to stand against the will of those who still consider themselves American.

“De la question raciale à l’Opera national de Paris” is the title of the manifesto by which, in the wake of Black Lives Matter, four hundred employees of the Paris Opera ask for “diversity” in the three hundred year old institution. The George Floyd case motivated them. The arrival of a new director provided the opportunity.

Alexander Neef comes from Toronto, where he directed the Canadian Opera Company, and across North America, multiculty is pervasive in the arts. Thus in the “Bayadère,” the “Dance of the Negroes” became the “Dance of the Children”. Enough “practices of colonial or slave heritage,”. they said.

An investigation by Le Monde says that Neef foreshadows the disappearance of “certain works” included in the repertoire by Rudolf Nureyev, director of dance at the Paris Opera from 1983 to 1989. Neef names “Swan Lake” and “Nutcracker”.

“Some works will undoubtedly disappear from the repertoire,” says Neef. The director asked a group of experts to reflect on “white ballet, the archetype of classical ballet that requires a homogeneous dance troupe”. These are the tutu ballets that abound in the works set to music by Pëtr Ilicč CČajkovskij (Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in the West).

France, Europe in general, is “Americanizing” at top speed. After the decolonization of films, museums and universities, it is time to “decolonize the arts”. Including classical music. The New York Times accuses symphony orchestras of being “the least diverse institutions” and of hiding “a problem of racism”, while New Music USA claims that “classical music is inherently racist”.

Major works are already under review. A clean version of Mozart’s “Magic Flute” was staged at the Compagnietheater in Amsterdam, after director Lotte de Beer discovered racist expressions there. The Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona has rewritten Rossini’s “Il viaggio a Reims”, replacing the word “cross” with “love”, while in the Maggio Fiorentino it is Bizet’s “Carmen” that kills Don José.

At the Sorbonne, the staging of Aeschylus’ “The suppliants” was prevented by indigenous activists, who had protested against the masks worn by white actors. Laurent Dubreuil, a French literary critic who teaches at Cornell University, in the US, has published for the prestiious Gallimard Publishing house an essay as short as it is powerful, “La Dictature des identités”, where he explains that having an identity now means having the identity of a victim, suffering, oppressed, traumatized, dominated.

Hence the idea of ​​revising the repertoire of the Paris Opera. “The ideological revisionism that claims to ‘decolonize culture’ is a hatred of culture in a broad sense: of classical, humanist and modern culture”, Isabelle Barbéris, author of “L’art du politiquement correct” (Presses Universitaires de France), told me. It is a desire to “transform art into social engineering”.

Do you remember the Soviet Union? That is just what they did there. And it is from there that Rudolf Nureyev himself fled.

Antiracism is the new word for Communism and tyrannic repression.

The year in Italian politics began with the threat of a government crisis after the smallest ruling party, Living Italy, issued an ultimatum to Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte that he must answer by Thursday, and the opposition collected 100,000 signatures in one day that call for the resignation of the prime minister.

According to Italian press reports, the fate of Giuseppe Conte’s government will be decided by Jan. 7. The generally well-informed affaritaliani news portal estimated the chances of a government crisis at more than 90 percent. Other sources, however, are considering the possibility of a change of government.

The ultimatum was led by Matteo Renzi, whose party, the Living Italy (IV), gives around 3 percent of votes to the governing coalition. The IV has announced that it will withdraw its two ministers from the government by Jan. 7 if the prime minister does not comply with the party’s requests. The IV’s demands include that the prime minister involve government parties as widely as possible in the use of the €209 billion economic recovery fund for the country, as well as the use of European Stability Mechanism (ESM) funds by the government. In addition, Matteo Renzi is urging Giuseppe Conte to hand over the leadership of the secret services, which the prime minister took in his own hands months ago.

Renzi made no secret of his willingness to “challenge” even Conte in parliament, who without the IV senators does not have the majority needed to govern in the upper house. Analysts say Renzi wants a change of prime minister, not a government. Commentators noted that Renzi was the spiritual father of the second Conte government formed in September 2019. At that time, the Five Star Movement (M5S) behind Giuseppe Conte continued to govern with the left-wing Democratic Party (PD) instead of the right-wing League.

However, Conte considers his position as head of government to be certain, arguing that no one really wants a crisis and early elections, so he is ready to ask for confidence in parliament.

Observers see tensions in the government the Democratic Party could use to its advantage to ask for new ministerial portfolios in exchange for the head of government’s support. President Sergio Mattarella has previously ruled out the possibility of a third Conte government, but the current health and economic emergency also makes it difficult to hold new elections. The head of state has the opportunity to dissolve parliament until July, as it will no longer be possible for him to do so until the next president of the republic is elected in 2022.

At the same time, Giorgia Meloni, president of the Italian Brothers (FdI), launched an online signature collection calling for the resignation of Giuseppe Conte, gathering 100,000 supporters by Sunday in just 24 hours.

In a review in the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the cultural representative of the Protestant Church in Germany (EKD), Johann Hinrich Claussen, declares the Holy Qur’an to be a ‘third Testament'”.

Jesus Christ is thus no longer the Son of God, but is downgraded to a prophet. The Trinity, which from the Muslim point of view is polytheism, is also invalidated. The EKD handout “Klarheit und gute Nachbarschaft: Christen und Muslime in Deutschland” (Clarity and Good Neighbourliness: Christians and Muslims in Germany) published in 2006 still contains an unambiguous Christian confession, with an affirmation of the missionary mandate, according to which the message of God’s justification is to be communicated to all the world.

Apparently, the EKD has revised its position in the meantime. The theologian Margot Käßmann is mentioned, who sees the relevance of Luther today in the fact that we can learn from other religions that there are other ways to reach God besides Christ.Although Luther himself did not really practise this, fortunately we are much further ahead today, argues Käßmann.The EKD is also adapting to this new trend: “The challenge is to speak of Christ, but in such a way that the faith of others is not devalued or declared to be untrue”. The church renounces “one-way communication”, no longer wants to act as “organiser” and “provider”, but will profile, concentrate and, if necessary, reduce its own offers in close and sustainable coordination with civil society partners.

In plain language, no longer speak of Christ. Because the exclusivity of Jesus Christ can be perceived as presumptuous and arrogant in a religiously plural society. Perhaps one wants to discuss the contents of the Christian faith with the Central Council of Muslims in the future?

One recognises a spreading disorientation.
