A 21-year-old Iranian migrant bit an Austrian police officer inside a detention cell in Vienna on Sunday right after police tried to come to his aid.

According to police spokesman Markus Dittrich, the young man began raging inside his holding cell and tore off his T-shirt. After wrapping the scraps of his torn T-shirt around his neck, he passed out inside his cell.

The police came inside his cell to aid him, when he sprang up and attacked them, according to Kronen Zeitung. The Iranian migrant then bit one of the officers on his back before officers managed to subdue him a violent struggle. The officer required hospital treatment for the bite wound.

The Iranian was originally arrested for undisclosed administrative offenses.

Police have not been the only victims of rising migrant crimes. Some experts pointed to Afghanistan migrants as particularly troublesome given the background of their country.

The New York Times also wrote in the lead up to 2016’s presidential elections in Austria that migrant crimes were starkly dividing the country. According to the Times:

By any measure, the string of crimes has been terrible. A grandmother of three, walking her dog, raped along a riverbank. A 10-year-old boy sexually assaulted at a public swimming pool. A 21-year-old student gang raped near the giant Ferris wheel at Vienna’s famed Prater park. A 54-year-old woman beaten to death on the street.

The fact that the crimes were committed by recent migrants from war zones and an immigrant who had lived illegally in the country for years added an especially volatile element to the political climate ahead of the presidential election.

That same year also saw nine Iraqi migrants were also arrested for the gang rape of a 28-year-old German woman in Vienna on New Year’s Day.

Neighboring Germany has also seen a dramatic rise in the proportion of migrant crimes, including attacks on police officers.

In March 2019, it became known that the North Rhine Westphalian Office for the Protection of the Constitution was monitoring the Khaled Mosque, which belongs to the Islamic Cultural Association Bochum (IKV). This was triggered by published research on the association’s relations to persons from the network of the Muslim Brotherhood. On Sunday, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) of Bochum wished the Muslims a happy breaking of the fast – and praised the new mosque of the IKV in particular as ” bringing people together”. The message of greeting is also a rejection of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. Normally, democratic parties distance themselves from associations that are monitored by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

“Innovative, environmentally friendly & connecting. Thanks to an initiative of the Islamic Cultural Association Bochum e.V., a mosque with the character of an intercultural meeting place is to be built on Castroper Street. A real benefit for Bochum. We wish all Muslims a happy breaking of the fast: Eid Mubarak!” With these words the CDU Bochum addressed the Muslims of the city on its Facebook page on Sunday. “Our wealth is called diversity. We are looking forward to the Green Mosque Ruhr”, was the title of the graphic attached to the text.

However, this message was probably not directed at moderate or secular Muslims. For only in March 2019 major media had reported that the North Rhine-Westphalian Office for the Protection of the Constitution was closely observing the Khaled Mosque, which belongs to the Islamic Cultural Association Bochum (IKV). “Personnel and structural connections of the association to extremism are being investigated as part of the legal mandate of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. Thus, the Islamic Cultural Association is also monitored as a contact point for persons with links to possible Islamist activities.

In addition to Salafist activities, this includes above all activities from the spectrum of the Muslim Brotherhood,” was the title of a report by Herbert Reul (CDU), the Interior Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, to the Interior Commission of the state parliament. “These measures ensure that the Office for the Protection of the Constitution of North Rhine-Westphalia keeps an eye on further developments regarding young people and refugees, also in connection with the Khaled Mosque,” Reul added in a response to a parliamentary question of the AfD parliamentary group.

About two months later, on the 13th of May 2019, Ahmad Aweimer, spokesperson of the IKV and representative for communication of the Central Council of Muslims (ZMD), described the author in the student monthly newspaper “akduell” as the “central trigger for the accusations”. This might have meant an article published here on the 10th of February 2019 and a press release sent out on the same day. It was about the fact that in the Khaled Mosque two long-standing and pertinently known actors from the network of the Muslim Brotherhood have appeared as lecturers.

The activities of IKV imam Hedi Brik also suggest such a direction. The author recently proved that the community imam not only occasionally meets invited members of the Muslim Brotherhood’s network but has also been working with them in various ways for a long time and is obviously welcomed by them as one of their own. Involvement and activities of the Community Imam indicate that the extremist connections of the IKV go much deeper than was known in 2019 and that the ideological orientation of the community has not changed since then.

The greeting message of the CDU Bochum on Sunday also represents a rejection of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution – and of course also of the CDU Minister of the Interior. Normally, democratic parties distance themselves from associations that are monitored by the Verfassungsschutz. The fact that the CDU Bochum knows nothing about the monitoring of the IKV is hardly likely, according to the media coverage. In this case, a democratic party is in fact ignoring the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. This is probably an unprecedented occurrence.

This is an article by political blogger, Jose Atento, who is a watcher of all things in the Portuguese speaking world. In this case, the extraordinarily democratic words of Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, and the threat he faces from other branches of the legislature. 

Last time, I reported how the Brazilian Establishment was doing everything possible to overthrow Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro. At that time I mentioned the incident created by the early departure of Justice Minister Sergio Moro. Moro became a Brazilian national hero as the judge who led Operation Car Wash that put jailed powerful politicians and entrepreneurs, including former president Lula. Bolsonaro invited him to be his justice minster because Moro represented one of his causes: the fight against corruption.

Some pointed out that even though he was aligned with the fight against corruption, Moro was against some of Bolsonaro’s other positions. Contrary to Bolsonaro, Moro was in favor of abortion and in favor of disarming the population.

Let us jump to the present and the COVID-19 crisis. The Supreme Court, mostly composed of judges appointed during the 16 years of socialist rule, decided that the guidance, administration and control of how to tackle the pandemic was the responsibility of the state governors. One may argue that was correct, since public health is prerogative of states and municipalities, but, in practice, that made the federal government like the “Queen of England” whose only duty was to print money. Nonetheless, Bolsonaro made his opinion heard loud and clear, that, based on the Brazilian reality, where most of the population eat based on the money they make every day, the best approach would be a vertical lockdown of those in higher-risk groups (the elderly and those with health conditions); otherwise, the social consequences of the lockdown would be huge.

Some states, particularly those governed by the socialist Labour Party (PT) and the state of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, whose governors are pre-candidates for the 2022 presidential election, opted to force a full lockdown upon the population, calling it “social distancing.” Here comes the newspeak: everything was closed, and everyone told to stay at home, but it was not a lockdown. God knows what a lockdown would mean to them. At the same time, they began to bombard Bolsonaro with all sort of accusations, such as that he was anti-science, and the mainstream Brazilian media (that includes the newly created CNN-Brazil) blamed Bolsonaro for everything, even though his power had been removed by the Supreme Court.

Probably, the most outrageous of all was the way state and municipal police forces began to treat citizens who allegedly “disrespected social distancing” even if they were alone in an empty space. The brutality of a police-state became visible in videos that flooded social media (but not mainstream media) where working men, the elderly and women, even in bikinis, were brutally handcuffed and arrested. Meanwhile, governors are releasing criminals from jail, even drug-trafficking leaders and unrepentant rapists.

During this time of crisis, Justice Minister Moro resigned, claiming Bolsonaro was trying to interfere with the work of the Federal Police, even attempting to change some of its directors. Vague as this accusation was, as it is a constitutional prerogative of the president to appoint people to senior positions, the Establishment began to ask for Bolsonaro’s impeachment. Moro claimed that the content discussed during the last ministerial meeting would prove that. the Supreme Court opened an investigation based on Moro’s accusation, and requested the tape of the meeting.

Normally, Ministerial meetings are recorded, portions of them are kept, and the tape is destroyed. But in this case, Bolsonaro ordered the tape not to be destroyed, and handed the tape, unchanged, to the Supreme Court for analysis. To the surprise of many, one of the Supreme Court judges made the tape public last Thursday, just erasing the mention to one country, obviously China. This unprecedented action was an attempt to hurt Bolsonaro. It backfired.

The tape not only vindicated Bolsonaro against Moro’s accusations, but it was very good for Bolsonaro, as it showed him defending the positions that led to his election. It showed that Bolsonaro is the same person in public and in private. Indeed, character is what you do when no one is looking.

In the tape he complains to his ministers that he wants them to defend his positions: family, God, Brazil, guns, freedom of speech and the free market. And if any minister is not happy with that, they can leave the government.

Well, that is what Moro did a few days later, trying to create a crisis. He failed.

This tape is so powerful and so positive for Bolsonaro, that left-wing parties now are asking for its distribution to be censored.

Too late.

A new law being proposed in the municipality of Berlin would make civil servants who are accused of racism guilty unless they can prove themselves to be innocent.

The law is being put forward by the Senator for Justice of the State of Berlin, Dirk Behrendt of the Greens party. Representatives of the German police are objecting to it, saying that it would turn officers into “fair game,” according to a report by Die Welt.

Jörn Badendick, the Vice Chairman of Germany’s police union, voiced his objections. He provided an illustration of the sort of trouble police would encounter if the law were to be passed. He pointed out that, since the majority of Berlin’s illicit drug dealers are black, the dealers would only need to accuse officers of racism when they try to control them in order to derail the entire process.

The stated purpose of the law is to make it easier for migrants and minorities to defend themselves if they feel they have been victimised by racial discrimination or harassment by civil servants, including police officers. The bill includes a so-called “presumption rule,” which says that the burden of refuting an allegation falls upon the accused.

“This is an absolute insult towards our emergency services,” said Hans-Jürgen Kirstein, the Chairman of the police union for Baden-Württemberg. “We will ask the Ministry of the Interior to stop sending our personnel to Berlin.”

Michael Stübgen, the Minister of the Interior for Brandenburg, also said that the law would be tantamount to a reversal of the burden of proof to the detriment of first responders.

The ruling coalition in Berlin’s city government, which includes the Greens, is standing by the proposal despite these criticisms, however, claiming that it is only about protecting minorities from discrimination. They are further accusing those who oppose it of distorting the facts about the law. All of the opposition parties in Berlin’s Senate are against it, however.

Berlin’s police frequently clash with the city’s migrant communities, who often specifically target law enforcement and emergency services personnel, as previously reported by Voice of Europe.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo today notified Congress of a finding that should make China think hard about its next move with regard to Hong Kong.

The United States is not abandoning Hong Kong. Pompeo makes that clear in the second half of his tweet.

His report is mandated by a law Congress passed and President Trump signed last year. That law, the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, builds on existing American law under which Hong Kong is treated separately from mainland China in trade and travel.

The Department of State shall certify annually to Congress as to whether Hong Kong warrants its unique treatment under various treaties, agreements, and U.S. law. The analysis shall evaluate whether Hong Kong is upholding the rule of law and protecting rights enumerated in various documents, including (1) the agreement between the United Kingdom and China regarding Hong Kong’s return to China, and (2) the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The Hong Kong Human Rights Act went onto the books as China was making early moves to clamp down on Hong Kong’s unique status. Pompeo’s report is the first such certification done since the law was passed amid China’s provocations.

Since 1997, Hong Kong has lived under “one state, two systems,” in which the former British colony’s citizens enjoyed democratic rights including free speech despite being part of communist China, where there are no democratic or individual human rights. Hong Kong is the gateway through which most foreign investment flows into China, helping fuel its rise as a superpower. But because Hong Kong has been the goose that laid China’s golden eggs, previous regimes in Beijing were reluctant to change Hong Kong’s special status.

Current Chinese Premier Xi Jinping has not seen fit to preserve Hong Kong’s autonomy. In February 2019, Hong Kong’s security bureau (under orders from Beijing) recommended its government pass amendments to extradition laws that would allow Hong Kongers to be extradited to mainland China for prosecution. This would begin the process of putting Hong Kong under Beijing’s very strict repression of free speech and protest. It would effectively end “one state, two systems” and make Hong Kong subject to Beijing’s whims, where human rights are of no value.

Hong Kongers took to the streets in protest. Those protests went on for months, until the Hong Kong government withdrew the extradition amendments in late October 2019.

Hong Kong’s pro-democracy protests continued and earned global support including from the Trump administration.

The coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China, took the spotlight off Hong Kong. China covered up and misdirected its role in the pandemic, but continued moving against Hong Kong’s freedom. Just this month, the communists passed a hugely oppressive national security law aimed at Hong Kong.

The law, which is expected to ban sedition, secession and subversion of the central government in Beijing, will be introduced through a rarely used constitutional method that could effectively bypass Hong Kong’s legislature.

News of the plans was met with immediate criticism by opposition lawmakers in Hong Kong, human rights groups and the US State Department.

While this was happening in Beijing, communists set about physically removing pro-democracy lawmakers from parliament in Hong Kong itself, so the city’s rump government would acquiesce to the mainland by vote.

Secretary Pompeo’s report does not by itself change Hong Kong’s status. It is a strong signal that the United States stands ready to act, short of war, on Hong Kong’s behalf.

Under a series of laws passed before and after the British returned Hong Kong to Chinese rule in 1997, the United States treats Hong Kong differently from the mainland in a number of important ways. One of those involves investment. Hong Kong recognizes basic rule of law; mainland China, in keeping with communism, does not. The vast majority of foreign investment funnels into China by way of Hong Kong because Hong Kong provides a safe and reliable conduit. Beijing’s subjugation of Hong Kong changes everything.

If Congress or President Trump move forward with Pompeo’s report, Hong Kong’s special status will go away. Sanctions and tariffs imposed on China will also be imposed on Hong Kong. The cities and China’s economy will suffer. International divestment from China will likely speed up, as foreign companies operating through Hong Kong are at greater risk of arbitrary treatment by the communists. The pro-Beijing South China Morning Post:

Under the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act passed by the US Congress last year, the administration must decide annually whether governance of Hong Kong is suitably distinct from China.

Options available to the administration – which may in part depend on Beijing’s reaction, analysts said – include higher trade tariffs, tougher investment rules, asset freezes and more onerous visa rules.

Individuals who violate the human rights of Hong Kong can also be targeted for sanctions individually, according to the summary of the law.

The State Department shall notify Congress if any proposed or enacted law in Hong Kong negatively impacts U.S. interests, including by putting U.S. citizens at risk of rendition to China.

The President shall impose property and visa-blocking sanctions on foreign persons responsible for gross human rights violations in Hong Kong.

A predictable left-of-center reaction foreshadows the political discussion to come in the U.S.:

“I believe that this will hurt Hong Kong people in myriad ways,” said Richard Bush, a fellow with the Brookings Institution and author of Hong Kong in the Shadow of China: Living with the Leviathan. “Among other things, it will confirm the People’s Republic of China view that the US wants to undermine its rule of Hong Kong.”

Beijing has spent the past 17 months undermining Hong Kong’s special status. The United States has consistently reacted and condemned China’s actions. Bush’s comment may as well have come from the Chinese foreign ministry. The United States has an obligation to respond if that status becomes a fiction. Hundreds of American companies operate in and through Hong Kong. It is one of the world’s financial hubs.

The next move is China’s to make.

Xi met with the heads of the People’s Liberation Army this week and told them to “scale up battle preparedness.”

You probably don’t need any more reasons to avoid the lousy junk food served up by the moonbats running Burger King, not after feminist fries and the way it encouraged sociopathsto throw its milkshakes at Brexit supporters. But just in case:

A select group of Burger King customers now have a safe new way to enjoy their Whoppers — and make a fashion statement in the process.

It’s all thanks to the chain’s all-new “social distance crowns,” which are designed to help in-store customers stay six feet apart from one another.

Available in Germany, where the social distance crowns may have to compete with pool noodle hats:

If 39 million Americans hadn’t been thrown out of work, this whole farce would almost be funny.

A new movie depicting the 2015 German migration crisis is a good example of how the liberal mainstream is in effect brainwashing the country’s population to embrace liberal pro-migration ideas, Georg Spöttle, a security policy analyst at the Nézőpont Intézet think-tank, told Magyar Nemzet in an interview.

He was referring to the movie “Die Getriebenen” (The Driven Ones), which aired on German national television channel ARD on April 15, which portrays the crucial autumn of 2015 when German Chancellor Angela Merkel decided to open Germany to an immigration wave of one million people. ARD is publically funded by German taxpayers with a fee they are required to pay every year.

The film is based on the eponymous 2017 book by journalist Robin Alexander. While the book itself is a strongly critical look at the events as suggested by its title, where the “driven ones” are the politicians caught in the stream of the events, the movie is widely regarded as an ode to Chancellor Angela Merkel. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is also negatively depicted in the film.

Spöttle said that while strong economic ties — such as the presence of BMW, Audi and Siemens in Hungary — are a potent stabilizing factor in the two countries’ relationship, attacks against the conservative government of Hungary will likely remain a permanent fixture of the liberal media and political circles. 

“These [attackers] include Die Welt, Spiegel and the young Brusselite elite, most of whom have no appreciable life experience. They have probably only seen migrants in the Homeland TV show, and they still recite a pro-migrant liberal dogma,” Spöttle said in the interview. “[But] overall, bilateral relations between the two countries will remain balanced in the future.”

Answering a question about how these left-radical ideas are making their way into the liberal mainstream, Spöttle said it was a kind a brainwashing.

“This is the result of the so-called ‘sensitization’, which in practice equates to brainwashing. The liberal doctrines — from gender theory to refusing the conservative family model — are being pounded into them from middle school to graduating from university and those who voice opinions different from these are being marginalized.”

The Hungarian analyst pointed to disturbing trends in Germany for those who deviate from accepted opinions or voice dissent.

“During the so-called ‘Aktionswochenende’ (action weekend), police and secret services can detain people and confiscate their storage media for as little as posting things on social media which do not conform with the democracy concept of the liberal mainstream,” Spöttle said. “Presenting the dark side of immigration has become a very strong taboo and a single such post can break a career. That is why many of my police officer colleagues have deleted their Facebook accounts.”

He added that traditional expressions of national pride can also be a reason for branding someone.

“If someone is proud of their national identity, their flag, wants to live in a traditional way or drink beer after the Bavarian fashion, they are immediately branded Nazis.”
