Good evening, everybody! This joyful prayer resounded on Fridays in the Swabian town of Spaichingen, south of Stuttgart. Endowed with such a spiritual edification, it can be enjoyed all the more easily in the state capital. How beautiful it is in Germany in 2020!
As of today, a 48-year-old man and his 22-year-old son have to answer to the Weiden Regional Court. They are accused of kidnapping. The 22-year-old is accused of dangerous bodily harm in several cases and rape in 4 cases.It all focuses on a young woman from Syria, who was still a minor in the spring of 2018 and who, according to Islamic law, was married to the defendant Ahmad E. from abroad. The two defendants smuggled her to Germany, where the marriage was renewed once again. Since, according to the indictment, the young woman did not ” work” in the sense of the defendants, she was put under massive pressure. This ultimately culminated in her being severely beaten repeatedly with a belt or with her fist. Sometimes to the point of unconsciousness. This was followed by rape and further humiliation.In the end, the woman was to be brought back to Syria via Turkey in order to separate her permanently from her baby, which she bore to the accused. In Ankara she was picked up and taken to the women’s shelter for victims of human trafficking there. On September 11 last year, she was then brought back to Germany by air from Ankara.
The ordeal of the young Syrian woman is over. With her testimony she wanted to draw attention to the way things often happen behind closed doors in her country, according to Birgit Hofmann, lawyer for the civil suit.
The trial will continue on the 7th of July.

Around 60 percent of EU citizens said in a survey on behalf of the European Union that they did not feel they were represented by “mainstream parties”.
At least 52 percent of Germans also believe that established parties are not interested in them, according to a study by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), which was published on Wednesday.
Differences became apparent in income levels. Some 73 percent of respondents with a lower level of education, unemployed and low-income workers felt neglected by established parties and politicians, while 45 percent of EU citizens, on the other hand, who stated that they made good or very good earnings agreed. “Sometimes the lack of trust is blatant,” FRA boss Michael O’Flaherty warned.
This also applies to the judiciary. Around 29 percent of the participants took the view that judges could work “only now and then” without political influence. In Germany, 40 percent said that the judiciary could mostly make independent decisions, while 51 percent, on the other hand, believed that judges were only sometimes or even rarely or never free of political interference.
German study participants also took a leading position on the question of whether they were afraid of being intimidated by parties or organizations during campaign times. Thirty-seven percent agreed, seven percent said they were even very afraid of it. Possible reasons for the fears were not investigated.
The participants were also asked about the importance of human rights. While 88 percent of EU citizens described it as an important step towards a fairer society, this view received the least approval in Hungary, Poland, Romania and Czechia. Less than half of the Hungarian respondents also believed that protecting minorities was important for democracy.
According to the results, the largest gap between the beliefs of young and old is in Germany, Luxembourg and Ireland. For older EU citizens, the freedom of the opposition to criticize the government is more important than for the younger generation. In Germany, 76 percent of those over 65 years of age rated freedom to criticize government as very important; only 16 percent of 16-29 year-olds agreed.

When he saw the pictures from the riot night in Stuttgart, he was reminiscent of the attack on himself. “That was a strange feeling,” said the police officer (29 years old) on Wednesday at the Freiburg Regional Court.
The Turkish man Mithat O. (22 years old, previously convicted of theft, threat, assault) had jumped the policeman in August 2019 with his knee against his head, but was already sentenced to three and a half years in prison by the Freiburg District Court at the end of January.
Now the 22-year-old is begging for a more lenient sentence at the regional court.
The crime happened on August 14, 2019 at about 9 pm. “It had come to a quarrel between my father, my brother and me”, the accused has his defense counsel declare.”I became angry and violent. Neither my brother nor I wanted the police to intervene in our fight.”While Mithat O. looked into the auditorium and smiled at his family members, the defense counsel continued to read: “In my rage I ran off and into the police officers. My brother called me. I acted spontaneously and quickly. “I am very sorry for the harm my behavior has caused.”
With full force he rammed his knee against the head of the police officer, who collapsed unconscious.
The 43-year-old colleague of the chief of police was also hit: “I thought a train was going to knock me down”, he told the judge on Wednesday. “The blow went just past my face. Then I saw my colleague lying lifeless on the ground. Blood was running from his mouth. I shouted, “Buddy, buddy, what’s wrong?”The other two police officers tried to arrest Mithat O. On the recordings of their body cams, one of the policemen with his gun drawn ordered the Turk to lie down on the floor. Mithat O. just replied: “Shoot me”.
The seriously injured police officer was taken to the hospital with a bruised jaw, concussion, laceration, bruises and abrasions. “I was worried that I couldn’t do my job anymore,” he told the judge.
On Thursday the judge wants to deliver a verdict.
During today’s municipal council meeting, a man stormed into the Vienna City Hall on Wednesday, shouting “Allahu Akbar” according to eyewitnesses. The security guard called for backup. The fire brigade also had to move in. The man threatened to set fire to everything.
As soon as the 32-year-old arrived on his bicycle, he threw it down and stormed into the Vienna City Hall shouting “Allahu-Akbar”.
Thereupon he splashed petrol around him and threatened to set everything on fire. The fire brigade – as well as the police – arrived with a considerable number of men and neutralised the accelerant. At this time a meeting of the Vienna City Council was taking place in the City Hall. Nobody was injured due to the professional and quick action of the security guard, who was provided by the police.Sharp criticism of the political reaction on the part of the Social Democratic Party (SPÖ) mayoral faction was voiced by state party secretary Michael Stumpf of the Freedom Party (FPÖ). The fact that the socialist Christian Hursky spoke of the fact that the attacker did not carry a lighter with him anyway, would “scandalously downplay” an obviously Islamist-terrorist motivation.Moreover, the latter would instead have referred to Norbert Hofer’s statements on the Koran.
He also criticised those in charge of integration in the red-green city government, saying that the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) could not “bear the results of the excesses of its uncontrolled immigration policy from the Islamic world” and was therefore acting instead “in the role of an infantile kindergarten gang”. The Freedom Party, on the other hand, would like to thank the town hall guards for their courageous commitment.The suspect himself could still be arrested at the scene. The police have promised the magazine “Wochenblick” to release more information about the suspected attack later today. Currently, the press team of the Vienna police would still be investigating how and why the incident occurred.

Madness is in the air, with mobs terrifying guilt-ridden government officials, corporate leaders, educators, and the heads of all our significant institutions into violating previously sacred principles in an effort to prove their wokeness. The Constitution and basic concepts of justice are out the window, and we face a grim new normal in which “getting whitey” becomes acceptable behavior from governments.
How else to explain this “Face Covering Directive” from the “Health & Human Services” mandarins of Lincoln County, Oregon, signed by Rebecca Austen, Lincoln County Public Health Administrator and Dr. David Long, Lincoln County Health Officer.
The relevant portions read:
And the exceptions allowed:
· Persons with health/medical conditions that preclude or are exacerbated by wearing a face covering.
· Children under the age of 12. Children over the age of 2 but under the age of 12 are encouraged to wear face coverings but not required to do so.
· Persons with disabilities that prevents them from using the face covering as described in this Directive. These persons must be reasonably accommodated to allow them access to goods and services.
· People of color who have heightened concerns about racial profiling and harassment due to wearing face coverings in public. [emphasis added]
My understanding of the expression “people of color” is that it includes everyone who is not Caucasian. (This expression is offensive to me because it implies that as a Caucasian, I have no color – am I transparent?) If this is the correct interpretation, the order is obviously in violation of the equal protection clause of the Constitution.
There are no enforcement provisions attached to the directive and it states that it is intended to be voluntary:
‘No person shall intimidate or harass people who do not comply. This Directive is intended to induce voluntary compliance and compliment education and encouragement of use of face coverings to protect ourselves and our community.’
That probably exempts the directive from litigation, which makes it all the more insidious, for it establishes a precedent of official blatant racial discrimination with no recourse.
The bulwarks that protect our civil rights are being eroded by the day.
Lincoln County is a coastal enclave with a population of around 50,000, whose county seat s Newport. According to the 2010 Census, the population there was 87.7% white and 0.4% black. The largest racial minorities were, in order, two or more races (3.7%), American Indian or Alaska Native (3.5%) and two or more races (3.4%). I am unclear if the two or more races people are exempt, but the “one drop rule” popular in the Jim Crow South may well be coming back into use, this time to discriminate against Caucasians.
The ugliness of the architecture (find the human spirit in it, I challenge you) of the Lincoln County Courthouse reflects the ugliness of the bureaucrats inhabiting it:
With a strange-looking proposal, German authorities now want to prevent a reoccurrence of the devastation of the weekend: A ban on alcohol in downtown Stuttgart should fix it.
Up to 500 people recently rioted in Stuttgart, and numerous videos show both the extent and the fact that mainly immigrants took part. Later, even the police admitted that among 24 arrested – eight are in custody – the majority had an immigrant background and that a ” multicultural mix throughout the world” was responsible for the riots.However, one obviously doesn’t want to completely separate oneself from the initial and much-criticized narrative of the “party scene” that is supposed to be responsible for the devastation. Because in the black-green governed Baden-Württemberg they now want to work out a ten-point concept.According to the newspaper Krone, the measures include not only the usual control measures and video surveillance but also bans on alcohol and residency in the catalogue.State Interior Minister Thomas Strobl of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) also wants to support the city of Stuttgart in developing its own security concept. He gave the following reasons for his push for restricted zones: “I hope the night from Saturday to Sunday has opened some eyes.” Whether he is among those who now see, may the well-disposed observer judge for himself…
In fact, the arrested persons were found to be heavily intoxicated. A 23-year-old man had about 2.23 per thousand alcohol in his blood. In view of documented “Allahu Akbar” shouts, however, the question arises whether such a ban really works. Because drinking alcohol would be “haram” – i.e. religiously forbidden – at least for the Muslims among the rioters anyway…
