German Chancellor Angela Merkel has boasted that she would repeat her actions in 2015 which opened the gates to Europe and led to the migrant crisis.

Chancellor Merkel made her statements at an annual summer press conference in Berlin on Friday, saying she would “make essentially the same decisions” after she was asked if she had any sort of regret for opening Germany’s borders in the summer of 2015.Merkel argued that asylum seekers stuck at the frontiers of Germany or Austria “have to be treated like human beings,” France24 reports.

According to the broadcaster, Merkel has seen a surge in support domestically following the coronavirus outbreak and the German federal government’s handling of it.

But while Merkel may have favourable polling numbers over her handling of the coronavirus, the mass migration of hundreds of thousands of migrants since 2015 has not been a popular policy in Germany among large sections of the German public.

The opposition to Merkel’s migrant policy has been reflected in the rapid growth of the anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which went from having no seats in the German parliament in the 2013 federal election to becoming the official opposition following 2017’s national election.

Merkel’s decision was also followed by the Berlin terror attack in December of 2016 that saw bogus asylum seeker Anis Amri kill a dozen people and injure over 50 others when he hijacked a truck and drove it through a crowded Christmas market.

Murders of young women and girls by migrant men has also been a major issue in Germany since 2015, with high profile killings of young women like Maria Ladenburgerand Jewish teen Susanna Feldmann making headlines internationally.

Germany’s mass migration policies have also impacted the country’s demographics, with a report from earlier this year suggested that as many as a quarter of all German residentsnow come from migrant backgrounds.

Germany’s Federal Statistical Office stated in July that at least 26 per cent of German residents had one or more parents born outside Germany, with Turkish-background residents being the largest minority at 13 per cent of the overall population.

Merkel’s open-door policy has also been blamed for the rise in antisemitism across Germany by Hungarian foreign secretary Péter Szijjártó.

Earlier this week, Szijjártó slammed German insinuations that antisemitism was “rampant ” in Hungary, saying: “Our Jewish compatriots have no reason to be afraid.”

“Their cultural festivals don’t require the presence of soldiers armed to the teeth, their synagogues and cemeteries were rebuilt with state funding, and we were the proud hosts of the European Maccabi Games last year,” he added, suggesting German politicians should “take a look around [their] own backyard.”

Because he allegedly stabbed two men at Riebeckplatz and in a streetcar at Rennbahnkreuz in Halle (Saale), the trial against a 20-year-old man from Syria began last Friday at the regional court. He is accused of grievous bodily harm as well as attempted manslaughter in unity of crime with grievous bodily harm.

The first crime took place on November 8 of last year. In a supermarket on Riebeckplatz, he is accused of having stabbed a fellow countryman several times with a jackknife. The victim allegedly stole money from him.

The second crime took place on March 6. Here he is said to have provoked an argument in a streetcar at Rennbahnkreuz and then stabbed a 32-year-old man nine times in the back with a knife from behind. The German suffered life-threatening injuries.

According to the court, the defendant partially admitted to the crimes. Because the accused was an adolescent at the time of the crime, the use of juvenile criminal law comes into consideration. Here sanctions up to a youth penalty of 10 years are intended.Initially, 9 trial days are planned. 27 witnesses have been summoned by the criminal court.

German extremism expert Christian Jung has published a new book on Antifa, a result of years of meticulous research. The author shows how far the left-wing extremist scene and its activists are networked with mainstream parties, authorities and the media in Germany.

After Jung’s bestseller Der Links-Staat, which he co-authored with Torsten Groß in 2016,  the new study reveals how the rot has set in, without the general public noticing this development.

The election victory of red-green in the federal election in 1998 heralded a turning point for Germany, according to Jung. Because in the new cabinet of Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, politicians were represented for the first time who came from the 1968 movement – including those who had been active in terrorist groups.

The “influence of the Communards, Maoists and communist cadre organisations reached the top of the state,” Jung points out. Together with his Foreign Minister and Vice Chancellor Joseph [Joschka] Fischer, once a street fighter and activist in the left-wing extremist organisation Revolutionärer Kampf[Revolutionary Struggle], Schröder proclaimed these individuals to be “decent” in 2001.

Since then, millions and millions of taxpayers’ money have flowed into the “fight against the right,” which, contrary to political assurances, actually benefit left-wing extremist and often violence-oriented groups, Jung argues.

Before the fall of the Wall, the GDR leadership had been the most important financier of left-wing extremism in Germany. Today, it is the German taxpayer who has to support the enemies of the state. Antifa, a beneficiary of public funding, even expanded significantly under the leadership of “bourgeois” Angela Merkel.

The group has experienced an unprecedented boom in the last 20 years and is increasingly aggressive both against the rule of law and its representatives as well as against political dissenters.

But state support is not limited only to financial support for the left-wing extremist scene. With their one-sided information policy, authorities for the protection of the constitution and criminal investigation offices of both the federal government and the federal states play down the danger that radical leftists in Germany pose.

Based on a critical analysis of the official data, Jung shows that not only the left-wing extremist potential, but also left-wing criminal and violent acts are systematically reduced or covered up by those responsible. At the same time, the criminality of the far right is being exaggerated. Even the extent of left-wing violence against police officers, who are exposed to increasingly brutal attacks by Antifa and anarchists in everyday life, is glossed over with the help of fake data, according to Jung.

Opinion journalists in the editorial offices of the mainstream media like to pick up on the falsified official statistics and, with their manipulative reporting, help to deceive the public about the real extent of the threat that left-wing extremism poses to the free and democratic basic order in Germany.

In a historical retrospective, the author shows how not only many of the former 1968 activists, but also sympathizers of the terrorist organisation, the Red Army Fraction (RAF), who emerged from the left student protest, are currently generously showered with taxpayers’ money, also in the asylum industry.

Jung reveals how they view their task primarily as preventing criminal foreigners from being deported from Germany, aided by a law on foreigners, which, under the influence of left-wing politics, has been increasingly eroded to favor of illegal migrants.

One of Jung’s particular merits is to expose the numerous cross-connections between the left parties represented in the Bundestag and the left-wing extremist scene.

Die Linke, the SPD and the Greens, have joined forces in various alliances with left-wing extremist groups and often make joint statements. Above all, Green Youth and Young Socialists make no secret of their sympathy for the left wing. Jung provides numerous well-researched examples of this in his book.

Jung also examines the case of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), to which completely different standards are applied when it comes to classifying the party as a “suspected case” of anti-constitutionalism. He explains in detail in his book how the obvious double standard is further evidence that the domestic spy service is not an independent authority, as the law requires.

After reading the fact-rich book, it should be clear to every reader that Germany has been drifting further and further to the left under Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU), and is heading towards an alliance with the left-wing extremist Greens in the federal government.

In the former East Germany, leftists are brought into the highest state offices with CDU aid. One example is the case of Barbara Borchardt, a founding member of the Antikapitalistischen Linken [the anti-capitalist left] who was elected constitutional judge in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania thanks to the support of the CDU parliamentary group.

In Thuringia, similarly, the CDU made the re-election of the radical left Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow possible. In fact, today the Christian Democrats have become the de facto drivers of the “anti-fascist united front”.

Following the conclusion of the Republican National Convention, the far left’s “fiery but peaceful” protestors had a pretty disgusting plan: Instead of just yelling at the top of their lungs from the outside, or attempting to disrupt the convention from the inside, or burning and looting nearby shops to give the whole thing a bad public relations odor, they decided to physically attack Republicans as they exited the convention. That was the plan.

They certainly attacked random nobodys exiting the front, but when Sen. Rand Paul attempted to get to his hotel two blocks away on foot after waiting 45 minutes at the wrong hotel, the mobs recognized him and got really excited, first swarming him and his wife in a group of 30, and then swelling to 60, and then to a 120-sized turba mob. They made lunging attacks at the senator and his luckily-spotted police escort who were trying to protect Paul and his wife and deflect the “protestors.” 

It was a travesty. Paul described it very well here.

Some excerpts: “We cannot go outside now, it’s too dangerous.”

“The United States is going to become Portland.”

“We’ll eff you up.”

“This is happening in all our cities, thank God for the police.”

“I want to live the life of a normal person, where I go to the grocery store and buy groceries, or stop at the Minute-Mart.”

Paul’s most important statement came here:

“This also is not normal. There’s something is going on here. This is like, the FBI needs to be involved.”

 And more specifically as the Fox News reporter probed:

“My feeling is there is interstate criminal traffic being paid for across state lines, but you won’t know it unless you arrest them. Otherwise you just think oh these are just some normal hoodlums from a big city. I promise you that at least some of these members and people who attacked us were not from D.C. They flew here on a plane, they’ve all got fresh new clothes, and they were paid to be here. It is a crime to do that and it needs to be traced. The FBI needs to investigate. But the only way you can do it is you have to arrest people. And usually we say ‘oh, well, you didn’t get hurt, so we’re not going to arrest them.’ They were inciting a riot, and they would have killed us had the police not been there. They all need to be arrested, and I’m not saying forever, but they need to be arrested, questioned, they need to say where you’re staying, and the bills need to be subpoenaed by a judge, to say ‘who paid for your bill, how did you get here on a plane and staying in a fancy hotel, and yet you’re acting like a criminal.’ Something’s going on here and it’s much bigger than people think. But the bottom line is, we can’t let the United States become Portland and that’s what my fear is…

Which is pretty much the most important question that can be asked of any of this lunacy engulfing the country.

Two things stand out.

One, dangerously intransparent foundations, such as the Tides Foundation which takes cash in big amounts from anonymous donors, and has been known to contribute to terroristic organizations such as Earth First! and the “Ruckus Society” have stepped up their donations to “social justice” and “criminal justice” and “racial justice” organizations. George Soros’s Open Society Foundation, while less intransparent, given that its money comes from Soros’s vast fortune as a currency speculator, is in this category too. Here is what the New York Post, via the Center for Consumer Freedom noted:

The New York Post reports today that the secretive Tides Foundation began organizing attacks on President Bush after receiving millions of dollars from foundations controlled by presidential candidate John Kerry’s wife. Tides’ role in this “charitable money-laundering” operation is hardly surprising. After all, for over two decades it has been a major financial clearinghouse for radical activist groups. Many major philanthropies like the Ford Foundation and Pew Charitable Trusts fund projects through Tides to disguise themselves as the funding source.

Anti-consumer beneficiaries of Tides’ “anonymous” funds include Greenpeace, the
Ruckus Society, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), and Earth First!. Earth First! spun-off the FBI-certified “terrorist” Earth Liberation Front in 1992. Tides was instrumental in NRDC’s now-infamous (and unfounded) health scare about Alar on apples. NRDC paid the PR firm that was promoting the scare through the Tides Foundation.

Second, the Democrats, who also take money from the donors to these foundations that may be behind these riots, have been curiously silent in their failure to condemn the violence, even on people they know and work with from the Senate building. Joe Biden made a general condemnation of violence after poll numbers showed that rioter violence was not playing well with the American voters, but he hasn’t said a thing about the attack on Sen. Rand Paul. His running mate, Kamala Harris, is even worse, witchily cackling that the violence will never stop, as noted in this well-written blog item today by Bill Dunne here.

Paul noted the irony of his own role in attempting to get justice for Breonna Taylor, who was killed in a no-knock raid on apparently the wrong apartment, writing a bill to ban no-knock raids. But he came off as a little naive there — these mobs aren’t interested in reform. They want to tear the whole edifice down and some huge billionaires are behind them. More than tanks in the streets, there needs to be an investigation into who’s funding these mobs, and arrests of the foundation executives and moneybag billionaires found to be involved. We still don’t know precisely which ones are doing this, but it’s critical that we find out, because as Harris says, the attacks won’t stop (and we need to know how Harris would know this, too). Some big swoopdowns need to happen, and one hopes the Trump administration is willing to take on the task, or is already on it. Paul would be wise to initiate some Senate investigation too, because someone’s getting away with this and the attacks are growing more brazen, targeting not just shopkeepers but now police and elected officials.

Jewish immigration to Germany from the states of the former Soviet Union has been temporarily halted due to the Corona pandemic. The German embassies in Moscow and other capitals of the former USSR states have not been granting entry visas to Jews for some time. This was reported by the Berlin newspaper “Tagesspiegel” on Thursday. The Foreign Office confirmed the restrictive practice.

Recently, the Corona-related restrictions on entry to Germany have been relaxed for certain groups, including students, family members of refugees and so-called ethnic German repatriates with German ancestors. However, an “exception to the acceptance stop” for visa requests could currently “not be granted” to Jewish immigrants, according to the scheduling system of the Foreign Office for the German Embassy in Moscow. Anyone who tries to do so, however, will be temporarily blocked, according to the “Tagesspiegel”.The Chairman of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster, has already called on the federal government to “examine the facts of the case in order to put an end to this intolerable state of affairs as quickly as possible” and to allow those persons concerned to enter Germany as soon as possible.In a letter, 30 Jews living in Russia and Belarus have now addressed the federal government and criticized the negative practice. They had already been promised by the German government before the Corona crisis that their emigration to the Federal Republic was possible and had therefore already signed off in their old homeland, which was a formal requirement for immigration to Germany.However, this currently makes it impossible for them to find a temporary job. The same applies to apartments and school places, reports the “Tagesspiegel”. The medical care of those people affected is also so severely restricted.
