What do you call police officers who confront Africans just because they had been sexually molesting a girl? That’s right, racist. From Presse Portal, translation complements of Allah’s Willing Executioners:

In the late evening hours of July 4, an 18-year-old woman was allegedly first molested and then attacked by a group of five people on the platform at Radolfzell [Germany] station. Surrounded by this group, a 27-year-old Nigerian is said to have held the victim against her will and tried to kiss her.

She managed to free herself and call the police. Because this didn’t happen in the USA, where the police are currently sheltering from a blitzkrieg assault by the liberal establishment, officers were actually dispatched.

At first, the men refused to hand over their identity papers. In the further course of the inspection, they are said to have called the officers “racists” and “bastards”, among other things.

Africans learn fast regarding the totemic power of the word “racist.”

However, this time it didn’t work. So, an African bit an officer’s finger, leaving him “incapacitated.” Two Nigerians ended up facing charges, confirming that Persons of Politically Preferred Pigmentation continue to face racist oppression at the hands of the police, not only in America but in Europe as well.

America is going to a bad totalitarian place at an incredible speed.

A California duo was charged with a hate crime for defacing a newly painted Black Lives Matter mural outside of a courthouse, officials announced Tuesday.

Painting over a political message you oppose is not a hate crime. Authorities who support that message using hate crime regulations to suppress protests are blatantly using the law to enforce their political affiliation. 

As Anderson painted within the lines, allowing the letters “B” and “L” to remain visible, Nelson told onlookers: “we’re sick of this narrative.”

“The narrative of police brutality, the narrative of oppression, the narrative of racism,” Nelson declared. “It’s a lie.”

“I said no one wants Black Lives Matter here!” he added. “That’s what I said. All Lives Matter, you punk.”

This might at most be vandalism. It’s not a hate crime. There’s no expression of hatred or hostility for black people. There is a rejection of Black Lives Matter, a political movement.

Conflating the political movement with black people and then treating hostility to BLM as a hate crime makes opposition to a political movement into a crime. Treating it as one, while members of the racist Black Lives Matter movement tear down statues and terrorize people, is enlisting local authorities in that same campaign of political terror, punishing people for the political content of the vandalism, rather than for the act itself.

Anyone who engages in vandalism ought to be treated the same regardless of their political motives.

Instead, authorities are protecting BLM vandals while illegally throwing the book at opponents of BLM.

This is the same thing that blue state authorities did when they ruthlessly went after Reopen protests, while endorsing BLM riots.

There are effectively two justice systems and two sets of laws now for people based on the political context of their crime. 

Anderson and Nelson were charged with vandalism, violation of civil rights and possession of tools to commit vandalism of graffiti.

2 out of 3 of those charges are illegitimate, a troubling precedent, and a reminder that the country is going to a very bad place that Russia, China, and Cuba have gone to before us.

Four “youths” that boarded a bus in Bayonne, France, without tickets and without masks violently attacked a bus driver on Sunday. The driver passed away today. Yet another sad story totally ignored by the system media that illustrates the impoverishment of French society as a result of “diversity”.

In France, the scourge of violence continues to spread, leaving in its wake its innocent victims. After the death of a gendarme, then that of young Thomas , the savage assault of a bus driver in Bayonne once again underlines the worrying rise in immigrant delinquency and crime. The latest victim is Philippe Monguillot, 58 years old and father of three, attacked and savagely beaten for having pointed out to immigrant youths that they were violating the law.

The four thugs that got into Philippe’s bus, were without masks and without tickets. After pointing out the illegality of their situation, one of the young Africans approached the driver and started beating him. Just like Mélanie Lemée, a gendarme killed last week by an African motorist, Philippe died for wanting to simply enforce the law.

His wife Veronique confided in French tabloid le Parisien on Monday: “We were destroyed in a few seconds, I have the impression of living a nightmare. A nightmare which is getting worse by the day.” She told the media that her husband’s cranium had been totally deformed due to the extremely violent assault.

Following this heinous attack, an African in his thirties was arrested on Sunday evening and four other individuals were placed in police custody on Monday. Unsurprisingly, their profile is not that of the average citizen: the first person arrested in the apartment of Mohammed A, is known to the police.

“These are people who live on the margins of society, who regularly drink alcohol and take drugs,” Olivier Lahet, a deputy departmental police union secretary told LCI. But no race-obsessed media outlet dared to speak the truth about the ethnicity of the attackers – contrary to their feverish reporting over the death of African-American George Floyd.

Several dozen of the driver’s colleagues marched to the hospital where Philippe died after being announced in brain dead. Jean-Philippe Paulmier, CFDT delegate, contacted by France Bleu Pays Basque, recalled the violence suffered daily by bus drivers: “There are verbal attacks all the time, the atmosphere has been hyper-tense for a few years. Bus drivers have been exposed more and more in recent years, and Philippe’s aggression, marked by violence, is far from being an isolated case.”

In February 2019, a bus driver was hit in Sartrouville (Yvelines) for refusing to stop immediately. Times are difficult for the drivers whose unions increasingly denounce the incivility and the violence they suffer.

Drivers of the Chronoplus bus network, colleagues of Philippe Monguillot, say no bus has been running since Monday morning, with the exception of certain subcontracted lines.

The attack on the driver elicited angry reactions from opposition politicians. “A man, a driver, tried to enforce basic rules and he lost his life, ” Julien Aubert, LR deputy and president of the Oser la France movement, tweeted.

“When the honest man must lower his eyes in front of thugs, of savages, collapse is not very far away. Living together is an illusion,” Aubert added. His colleague Valérie Boyer, denounced the increase in violence and the lack of media outrage: “Once again, barbarism is spreading. I am scandalized when I learn of the assault of a bus driver in Bayonne. I am scandalized by the cowardice, the savagery which has become daily violence with selective indignation.”

Céline Pina, former elected Socialist and contributor to the new magazine Front populaire by Michel Onfray, even speaks of the “return of the law of the jungle”. The multiplication of violent attacks committed by immigrants and the domination of immigrant youths in the “no-go zones” of the Republic are now indisputable facts.

“Not a day without this gratuitous and unleashed violence that hurts and kills. The worrying generalization of the savagery is a fact that that can no longer be only ‘disparate’. They are becoming the norm in a country whose elites have abdicated,” said the manager of Marine Le Pen’s RN, Jean Messiha, who happens to be an Egyptian immigrant himself.

For his part, the identity activist Damien Rieu wanted to recall that the victims of crime did not enjoy the same compassion from the media, cultural and political class. “Who will kneel for Philippe, a bus driver massacred in Bayonne? Who will set up a committee? A mural fresco? Which star will launch a petition against the country’s impoverishment which kills dozens every day? Omar Sy?” he remarked, in an allusion to the Adama Traore affair.

Rare African victims of alleged police violence are entitled to all the tributes of the progressive system but those who suffer daily violence are ignored.

The local mayor of Bayonne was praised by the New York Times for sheltering illegal African migrants crossing the Spanish border into France last year. The newspaper called Jean-René Etchegaray’s city in the French Basque Country, “refined” because it fulfilled its “humanitarian obligation” since Italy all but closed its borders. The mayor has been providing the illegals with cosy beds, hot meals and heating in winter.

Spain has now become the prime gateway into Europe for migrants from Africa, with more than 57 000 arriving last year.

“I saw that the frontiers were closing, and as far as I’m concerned, there are some fundamental rights that can’t be trampled on,” Etchegaray truimphantly declared last year. He alluded to the attack on the driver as an isolated act this week. Etchegaray was re-elected recently.

From 1915 to 1923, the Ottoman Empire, the forerunner of modern Turkey, systematically killed more than 2 million Christians — 1.5 million ­Armenians and half a million Syriacs, Assyro-Chaldeans, Greeks and Maronites. During that ­period, half the populations of Tur Abdin and Mount Lebanon, among the Middle East’s final Christian strongholds, were slaughtered or died of famine.

To this day, the Turkish government denies this genocide. Now, what remains of the country’s Christian heritage is under attack from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The latest ­assault: The Islamist strongman wants to convert the Hagia ­Sophia, his nation’s most recognizable landmark, from a ­museum to a mosque. The move would all but complete the erasure of Turkey’s Christian heritage that began with a genocide a century ago.

Consecrated as a Byzantine ­cathedral in the 6th century, the Hagia Sophia (“Holy Wisdom”) was once Christianity’s largest cathedral and the historic seat of the Orthodox patriarch of Constantinople, as Istanbul was known for much of the last two millennia.

Eastern Christians for centuries viewed the cathedral as an unparalleled pilgrimage destination. Its relics included supposed pieces of the original Cross of Jesus Christ, as well as the lance that pierced the Nazarene’s side. Pilgrims sought healing from these and other items. You might say the Hagia Sophia was the Saint Peter’s Basilica of Eastern Christianity.

In 1453, following the defeat of historic Byzantium, the Ottomans converted the cathedral into a mosque as a symbol of their dominion over Turkey’s ­indigenous Christians. In the process, they desecrated and plastered over the early Christian icons, mosaics and frescos — though some pieces remain.

In 1934, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the secularist founder of modern Turkey, converted the Hagia Sophia from a mosque into a museum, as “a monument for all civilization.” This allowed people of all faiths to marvel at the Christian icons and the sheer beauty of the site without a religious litmus test to enter.

Erdogan, however, is unapologetically nostalgic for the days of the Ottoman Empire. His plan to convert the Hagia Sophia into a mosque is of a piece with his ­Islamist vision for the country, a vision that sits uncomfortably with the Hagia Sophia, a gigantic monument to what used to be called Christendom — right at the heart of Turkey’s most ­important city.

He mustn’t be allowed to go forward.

Clear statements from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Ambassador-at-Large for Religious Freedom Sam Brownback supporting the preservation of the Hagia Sophia as a museum are encouraging. But they lack the weight of the Oval Office. Now is the time for President Trump to recognize Turkey’s barbarous recent history — and to compel Erdogan to respect the heritage of his country’s indigenous Christian population.

Trump has made religious pluralism a centerpiece of his foreign policy. The seriousness of that commitment stands or falls in Turkey, a country that has ­become increasingly hostile to religious liberty. It’s why Trump should press Turkey to honor the status quo of the Hagia Sophia. This would follow his successful application of pressure on Ankara to secure the release of American pastor Andrew Brunson, a former prisoner of conscience in Turkey.

Last fall, Congress made history with bipartisan recognition of the Armenian Christian Genocide. Ankara wasn’t pleased, but Team Trump must follow suit: Recognizing the Armenian Christian Genocide would be another major ­religious-liberty victory for this president — not to mention the right thing to do.

Beyond these historic and cultural issues, the United States should more broadly reassess its relationship with Turkey — a move that is long overdue.

The world’s most notorious genocide denier, Erdogan, is also infamous for imprisoning journalists and public intellectuals. Turkey’s egregious human-rights violations also include the ethno-sectarian expulsion of Syriacs in northern Syria and the destruction of more than 500 Greek Orthodox churches in Turkish-occupied areas of Cyprus.

At one point, Turkey was a reliable, pro-Western ally. But that is no longer the case, and the American people are always better off when foreign policy deals with reality as it is, rather than as we would wish it to be.

Persuading Turkey to maintain the Hagia Sophia’s status quo would be a monumental step in the right direction — and cement the president’s legacy as a stalwart advocate of religious pluralism in the Middle East.

Speaking in Velehrad, the most important Czech pilgrimage site, on the occasion of celebrating the arrival of the Christian missionaries to the Czech territory, Cardinal Dominik Duka talked about divisions in today’s society, stressing that in democracy, there has to be morality and respect for others.

However, Duka began his speech by saying that Velehrad is a place that helped Czechs find their national identity.

“According to tradition, St. Ludmila was also baptized here by St. Methodius and received a Marian medallion, later called the Palladium, which found its place on the chest of St. Wenceslas, her grandson and became part of our national and spiritual identity,” said Duka, commemorating the arrival of the first Christian missionaries Cyril and Methodius celebrated on July 6.

Duka then pointed out that in the current situation, many people feel lost and wonder how to carry on.

“The current unrest, acts of violence, and vandalism during mass demonstrations affect the world. What should we do? Politicians, economists, entrepreneurs, but also our families and friends are asking. We, the Christians, also ask ourselves this question,” said Duka.

“Currently, interpreters of the Word of God have more authority than the power of the Holy Spirit or the words of Jesus. Society is not only divided by the fragmentation of political conceptions accompanied by a decline in values, but this fragmentation is also supported by hostile attacks of some media, especially social networks. They send protesters to the streets and call for demonstrations. We build statues and then we tear them down. It is legitimate to ask whether this is a phenomenon of the end of our Western but also our Christian civilization,” suggested Duka.

In this context, he stressed that freedom cannot exist without responsibility as well as love cannot exist without forgiveness, and democracy without morality and respect for others.

In addition to Cyril and Methodius Day, on July 5, Czechs also commemorated the 605th anniversary of the burning of Czech preacher Jan Hus who sought to reform the Church. While the legacy of Jan Hus is closely interwoven throughout crucial parts of Czech history, in the Vatican, it was not until 1999 when Pope John Paul II declared that he regretted Hus’s cruel death and recognized him as a reformer of the Church.

Going for the wokester cred, Meghan Markle’s husband, Prince Harry, would like you to apologize, or rather, ‘reflect’ on the colonial sins of his ancestors.

Here’s how bad it was: 

Prince Harry today faced criticism after he appeared to take a swipe at the British Empire by saying the history of the Commonwealth ‘must be acknowledged’, even if it’s ‘uncomfortable’. 

The Duke of Sussex, 35, made the comment as he joined wife Meghan Markle, 38, for a video call with young leaders from the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust last week that was made public today.

As part of the discussion on ‘justice and equal rights’, Harry said the Commonwealth needs to follow others who have ‘acknowledged the past’ and are ‘trying to right their wrongs’, and also admitted to having his own ‘unconscious bias.’

Meghan joined in on the fun:

Meanwhile Meghan said it is also a time of ‘reckoning’ when individuals should be putting their hands up to ‘own’ their past wrongdoings. 

Speaking from his Los Angeles home, Harry, whose grandmother the Queen is head of the Commonwealth, said: ‘When you look across the Commonwealth, there is no way that we can move forward unless we acknowledge the past. So many people have done such an incredible job of acknowledging the past and trying to right those wrongs, but I think we all acknowledge there is so much more still to do.’ 

The statement appears to be a swipe at the British Empire, which was ruled over by his ancestors and led to the creation of the Commonwealth, and goes against protocol of royals not wading into politics.

There was also this, from Meghan:

“We’re going to have to be a little uncomfortable right now, because it’s only in pushing through that discomfort that we get to the other side of this,” Harry’s biracial American wife told the group.

Who is this ‘we’ you speak of, Kemosabe?

As Americans, we don’t have a dog in this fight, as we took care of business with Britain back in 1776.

But obviously, it’s pretty unseemly to see Prince Harry, seventh in line to the British throne, go on an apology tour for his own ancestors – while he’s still living off dad’s money, at least for his pricey security. Does he really mean that? Because if he really means that, then it’s time to cut ties to dad’s cash and get a job as a dishwasher somewhere in Los Angeles like anyone. If it was all bad and now in need of an apology, what exactly was he doing risking his life for his country as a military man? Who’d want to die for a wicked empire that needs to apologize for its projection?

Once upon a time, Britain had a second empire, it spanned the globe, the sun never set on it, it served as a projection of Great Britain’s power on the world stage, drawing in capital, resources, immigrants, and cultural power. And oh, yes, all this pith-helmet projection was done in the service of the queen, Harry’s own great great grandmother, Queen Victoria. The only reason anyone still pays attention to Britain today instead of dismiss it as another Belgium, or Romania, or Denmark, or some other pea in the E.U. pod, is that powerful colonial heritage, for good and bad.

Intelligent people can discuss its pluses and minuses, what it brought compared to what it took, whether it was a ‘racket’ as George Orwell concluded, or a point of great pride as Rudyard Kipling saw it.

It can even be argued, as British propaganda, at least until recently, held that the states colonized by Britain, with its tradition of rule of law, and its useful lingua franca, the English language, are better off now than the places that never saw a colonizer from the West. (Just ask Afghanistan).  While not a perfect thing for everyone, it certainly could be put forward as a certain amount of comparative perspective. 

Here’s one study, there have been many.

The authors also compare the experiences of separate Pacific islands with eight different colonizers: the United States, Britain, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal, Japan, Germany, and France. * Their verdict is that the islands that are best off, in terms of income growth, are the ones that were colonized by the United States—as in Guam and Puerto Rico. Next best is time spent as a Dutch, British, or French colony.  At the bottom are the countries colonized by the Spanish and especially the Portuguese.

And here’s another thing: No Gandhi could do what Gandhi did in India, with his non-violent resistance movement for independence, if the colonial backdrop was, say, Russia, or China. (Just ask the Dalai Lama). The Brits could be appealed to for their better nature. Oh, and Gandhi, by the way, was an Anglophile, as was Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew, also known as “Harry.” 

So now we have the sorry specter of Prince Harry wanting to go on an apology tour for his own ancestors, except that you’re the one who’s going to apologize, while still living off the fat of the British royal family. Somehow, we’ve got the makings of a hypocrite, no doubt driven by the wokester impulses of his hideous wife Meghan.

Not surprisingly, the Daily Mail reported that Harry looked ‘trapped’ and ‘awkward’ and ‘like a hostage’ in all that wokester self-made abasement, which isn’t a good look for him. Socializing the apologies while privatizing the life-of-luxury goodies is no way to get anyone’s respect, wokester or otherwise. Maybe he can grow up now and be a man. Stiff upper lip and all that, the pith-helmet thing he doesn’t seem to know about.

The big surprise of the new French administration after a reshuffle, is the appointment of the very mediatic lawyer at the Ministry of Justice, Éric Dupond-Moretti.

The announcement of the new government of Jean Castex on Monday June 6 at the start of the evening also included the next Minister of Justice. The most visible lawyer in France, who defended terrorist Abdelkader Merah, is a flashy (and divisive) personality in the world of justice.

Dupont-Moretti will be replacing Nicole Belloubet at the ministry. The choice elicited negative reactions from professionals in the field as well as from political figures.

After the official announcement, Marine Le Pen denounced his appointment. “At the Justice Ministry is appointed an activist from the far left who wants to ban the RN, the largest opposition party. This is really something… ” she wrote on Twitter.

In May 2015, Éric Dupond-Moretti had indeed suggested during an interview on France Inter that “the FN [was] not a republican party” and that it was necessary “to ban it”.

Céline Parisot, president of the Magistrates’ Union, told Franceinfo that the appointment of the lawyer at the ministry was “a declaration of war against the judiciary”. “This time it’s serious,” she said. The president of the USM said she did not understand how one can name “such a divisive personality, who despises magistrates to such an extent, […] who does not hesitate to insult them, who wishes the abolition of their school”.

On October 31, 2016, advised by the King of Morocco Mohammed VI , the lawyer took over the case of the Moroccan singer Saad Lamjarred accused of sexual assault and rape, with the attorney’s fees paid by the Moroccan palace. In 2018, and without giving the reasons, Dupond-Moretti declared that he would no longer represent the singer after a second rape complaint filed against Lamjarred in Saint-Tropez.

On February 6, 2017, the lawyer announced that he was representing the black drug dealer Théo, an alleged victim of “rape” with a baton by 4 police officers during his arrest in Aulnay-sous-Bois. The lawyer’s arguments led to violent riots.

Already in December 2008, he held the record for acquittals obtained on French territory. Many magistrates view him as a “courtroom terrorist”, French weekly Le Point reported.

In 2020, Dupond-Moretti joined the international defense team of Julian Assange.

As soon as his appointment was announced, the Elysee Palace announced that Eric Dupond-Moretti had chosen to withdraw the complaint he had recently filed in the Nicolas Sarkozy “wiretapping” affair.

In February 2014, the National Financial Prosecutor’s Office had actually asked for a scan of the lawyer’s telephone bills, as well as those of a dozen of his colleagues. The new minister had filed a complaint for “violation of privacy and the secrecy of correspondence” and “abuse of authority”.

The sudden withdrawal has led to rumours about the lawyer’s involvement in irregular activities and political schemes.

And while the new Prime Minister had announced that he would deliver his first general policy speech “in the middle of next week”, the Elysée quickly contradicted him.

Emmanuel Macron is already meddling in the work of his new Prime Minister. The first hiccup in the communication between the Elysée and Jean Castex did not take long to happen, reported French daily Le Figaro.

During his first television interview at 8pm on TF1, on Friday July 3, Jean Castex declared that he would deliver his general policy speech “in the middle of next week”. His promise was widely reported by the media. But on Sunday, July 5, the Elysee Palace announced that Emmanuel Macron would speak on July 14, “probably in the context of a television interview” and that the new Prime Minister would speak only “a few days after” him.

The departure of Edouard Philippe and the appointment of Jean Castex were welcomed by the opposition as the arrival of a collaborating “technocrat” at the Elysee Palace.

The mayor of Le Havre, Edouard Philippe, increasingly popular, had clearly constituted a threat to Macron. For president of the Union of Democrats and Independents (UDI) Jean-Christophe Lagarde, “the appointment of Jean Castex to Matignon, after Edouard Philippe refused to follow [Emmanuel Macron, Editor’s note] in his spending shift is a clear message. The president wants to govern alone and prepare directly for the presidential election”.
