There are rumours, and even a video that suggests the Turks have set up some of the people amongst the migrants with actual guns and are firing them into Greece. I hope to have some quality information on that next week. But here are two videos for the moment that should raise some serious questions.
A court in a German city has ruled that the Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany (MLPD) will be allowed to erect a statue of Vladimir Lenin, the mass-murdering founder of the Soviet Union.
The administrative court in Gelsenkirchen overruled the city’s decision to halt the construction of a monument to Vladimir Lenin, the architect of the Russian Revolution of 1917 which birthed the Soviet Union — a state responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of innocent people.
The city had argued that the statue would detract from the historical value of the adjacent savings bank building, but the court ruled that objections over Lenin’s historical atrocities were irrelevant as the statue is to be constructed more than ten meters away from the bank, Deutsche Welle reports.
The Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany hailed the decision by the court, saying: “A few weeks before his 150th birthday, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin has once again won a great victory.”
The move by the court was slammed by Marco Buschmann, a Free Democrats (FDP) member of parliament from Gelsenkirchen, who said: “A Lenin statue would be a disgrace for Gelsenkirchen” as “Lenin stands for mass murder and totalitarianism.”
“Anyone who wants to erect a Lenin statue should ask themselves whether they are still grounded in liberal democratic principles or not,” he added.
In 2017, following the controversy over Confederate memorials in the American South, activists tried to remove a statue of Vladimir Lenin in the city of Seattle. The statue was first installed in the city in the early 1990s after a local man purchased the statue following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Benedict Evans, a local venture capitalist, and over 900 people in a Facebook group named “Seattle, Tear Down This Lenin Statue!” called for the removal of the monument to the communist dictator.
“If one wanted to pull down statues of profoundly evil people, responsible for uncountable human suffering, this one might be on the list,” Evans wrote.
Lenin’s reign as the head of the Soviet Union was marked by mass starvation, the internment of political enemies in gulags (concentration camps), the mass executions of the Red Terror, and the invasion of neighbouring countries.
In his persecution of the kulaks — peasants with over eight acres of land — Lenin orderedhis men in one instance to: “1) hang without fail, so that the public sees, at least 100 notorious kulaks, the rich, and the bloodsuckers. 2) Publish their names. 3) Take away all of their grain. 4) Execute the hostages.” “This needs to be accomplished in such a way, that people for hundreds of miles around will see, tremble, know and scream out: let’s choke and strangle those blood-sucking kulaks,” Lenin commanded.
Three vegan activists from Spain have shocked the public these days with their unusual actions.
They are convinced that the roosters intentionally rape the hens, so they are firmly determined that the animals need to be separated from each other!
Vegan activists from Almas Veganas say we must not differentiate between human and animal species – which is why they believe animals can also be raped.
Activists say they plan to end the abuse and rape of chickens who are constantly running away from the roosters. “Roosters intentionally rape chickens and don’t think it’s an animal instinct,” activists say, and they will do everything in their power to prevent such acts. For the start, they suggest seperating the hens from the roosters.

Legal action launched by prominent German Jewish lawyer Nathan Gelbart and the US-based Lawfare Project caused the head of communications for the giant German Hesse Broadcasting Company to unblock his Twitter account that prevented a Jerusalem Post reporter’s access.”I consider it as highly problematic if a state owned broadcasting station, funded by the taxpayer, is blocking journalists because of unpleasant reporting or inquiries. This behavior is unacceptable and constitutes a severe violation of the freedom of press and information. I am happy that HR[Hesse Broadcasting] answered our complaint and unblocked my client without court procedures,”Gelbart told the Post.
Christoph Hammerschmidt, who oversees the communications department for the Frankfurt-based broadcaster blocked the Post’s European affairs correspondent Benjamin Weinthal in January in connection with his questions about the news outlet allegedly blaming Israeli Jews for antisemitism and its ostensible stoking of Jew-hatred in the federal republic.Brooke Goldstein, Executive Director of the US-based The Lawfare Project, told the Post that “It was bad enough when a reporter at a state-owned news outlet blamed Jews for antisemitism. It was even worse when the official spokesman for that same news outlet blocked a Jewish reporter for asking questions about it. We’re glad The Lawfare Project could be of assistance in overturning this absurd ban.”The Post article reported that Hesse Broadcasting journalist Sabine Müller wrote on the website of the German public broadcaster Tagesschau (ARD) that the memorial event at Yad Vashem was “a missed chance in the fight against antisemitism,” leading to the view among experts on contemporary antisemitism that Müller argued that Israeli Jews were not combating Jew-hatred.Müller wrote that it was unworthy “how Israel and Russia partially kidnapped this commemoration day” with respect to the 75th commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz. She accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of “egoism,” suggesting the Jewish state exploited the Holocaust.Weinthal had turned to Christoph Hammerschmidt’s Twitter account to ask him questions about alleged antisemitism at the broadcaster after he stopped answering Post email media queries on January 30.
Isabelle Fried, a Hesse Broadcasting representative, said in an email that “Mr. Hammerschmidt met the original request to remove the block at the beginning of the week. Mr. Hammerschmidt is fundamentally willing to make a corresponding cease and desist declaration for the future.”Fried and a second Hesse representative, Steffen Janich, wrote in a letter to Gelbart that Hammerschmidt’s account is a private Twitter feed.However, Hammerschmidt’s Twitter biography identifies him as the “Director of Communication for the Hessischer Rundfunk and Managing Director hr-media.”He joined Twitter in 2010 and as of Friday has 223 followers and follows 124 accounts. The Hesse letter complained about an “offensive” on Hammerschmidt’s Twitter account from Weinthal. It is unclear what this means.
She wears a long white blouse and a dark hooded jacket, her long black hair is open. But she hides her face behind a folder.
Trial start at the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court: Carla-Josephine S. (32 years old) is said to have gone with her three children (at that time 3, 6 and 7) to the ISIS territory in Syria. Her little son died in 2018 in a missile attack. This is not the only reason why the woman is on trial.
The German woman (32 years old) from Oberhausen has had to answer as a suspected ISIS terrorist since Friday. According to the indictment, she allegedly made her children (whose custody she did not have alone) subject to the threat of war.
She is even said to have handed her son Hazam over to a camp for child soldiers.
At the beginning of the trial S. spoke about her life. She was the child of a divorced couple and had left school after 12th grade. Her first husband was Tunisian. With him she had three children. She believed in Islam, wore the burka and wanted to emigrate to Tunisia. She had designed books like “Our beautiful Islamic holidays”.
But her husband had beaten her. “I just wanted to escape,” says Carla-Josephine in court. She then collected all the money she had from the employment office, sold her car and flew to Turkey with her children. Final destination: the war zone of Syria.
This is exactly what she is accused of, among other things: She put her children in mortal danger and gave them ideological training. When her little son expressed doubts about Salafism, she reported him to the religious police and had him chastised! S. is said to have worked in Syria as a driver for a female combat unit and to have been in possession of a hand grenade. With her children she is said to have attended public executions. S. defends herself: “It was coincidence. We had just come from the dentist.”
The judge goes, “Did you want your 6-year-old son to walk around with a Kalashanikov?” She said, “I couldn’t stop it.” When the boy had to go to camp, she advised him to bed-wetting at night so that he would be sent home again. And that’s how it happened. But supposedly the boy wanted to go back to camp on his own.
The woman is now facing up to 15 years in prison. She has already been in custody for eleven months. The Higher Regional Court has scheduled eleven trial days until the end of April.
Austria’s Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP) has warned the European Union against admitting migrants at the Turkish-Greek border. Other European leaders have sounded a similar warning.
“If these people, some of whom are also prepared to use violence, ultimately get through to Central Europe, [the number] will not remain at 13 000. Then there will soon be hundreds of thousands and maybe millions later. In the end, we would have the same conditions as in 2015,” Kurz told the Friday editions of the newspapers of the Funke media group and its French partner newspaper Ouest-France.
He defended Athens’ move not to accept asylum applications for a month. “The people who are now arriving at this border are largely not refugees who are fleeing from the Syrian war zone. Most of them are migrants who have been living in Turkey for years,” emphasized the ÖVP chief.
These people have no right to asylum in Greece since they are not persecuted in Turkey. “But they are being abused, their suffering is being exploited. And they are being used to put pressure on the EU. We cannot play this game,” warned Kurz.
Every country is free to accept asylum seekers. Austria had processed 200 000 applications in recent years and, in relation to its population, accepted more migrants than almost any other EU country. “We have to integrate them now. It’s a big challenge. We cannot allow excessive demands, because that would be irresponsible.”
Kurz spoke out clearly in favor of better protection of the EU’s external borders. “If the external borders do not work, there will be borders within Europe again.” In 2015, Germany was the first EU country to reintroduce border controls. “I very much hope that Europe has learned from it this time.”
At the beginning of the week, Austria’s Interior Minister Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) had already confirmed that the country would not accept migrants. He contradicted Vice-Chancellor and Green Party leader Werner Kogler, who had asked to take children and women from the Greek camps. “We have not agreed that we should bring women or children to Austria in addition,” clarified Nehammer. Austria has sent personnel and financial aid to Greece.
Hungary had also closed its transit zones on the border. The government in Budapest justified the move by saying that there was a link between immigrants and the corona virus. Many asylum seekers came from or via Iran, where the disease is particularly widespread.
A majority of Germans meanwhile oppose Germany playing a pioneering role in welcoming migrants to the Greek border. According to a survey by infratest dimap for the ARD Germany, 49 percent of respondents disagreed with the statement that countries such as Germany and France should set a good example when accepting refugees, even if other EU countries oppose it. On the other hand, 48 percent thought Germany should stand alone when accepting migrants.
While this attitude is particularly pronounced among supporters of the Greens (75 percent), the SPD (71 percent) and the Left (60 percent), it was met with strong rejection by AfD supporters (95 percent). This view also predominates with the FDP (69 percent).
Notably, Merkel’s Union supporters are divided on this issue: 49 percent are in favor of receiving border migrants, while 46 are against it.
Only 41 percent of the citizens surveyed, on the other hand, disagreed with the statement that the Greek external EU border has to be closed to migrants from Turkey. Some 57 percent believe that they should be allowed to cross the border so that they can then be distributed to the individual EU countries.
In the meantime, seven German cities have asked the German government to create the conditions to accept children from migrant camps in Greece. In addition to the Lower Saxony Interior Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD), the appeal was signed by the Mayors of Cologne, Düsseldorf, Potsdam, Hanover, Freiburg, Rottenburg am Neckar and Frankfurt (Oder).
They also refer to the “Cities of Safe Ports” alliance, in which 140 cities have come together that have agreed to accept additional migrants.
The leader of the Swedish Democrats, an anti-immigration Swedish party, is however determined to discourage migrants. Jimmie Akesson traveled to Edirne, a border town with Turkey and distributed leaflets discouraging migrants from coming to Sweden. “Don’t come to our house. Sweden is full. We cannot give you more money or provide you with housing. Sorry,” says the leaflets.
Akesson told RT: “We have spoken to many of them and Sweden, Germany and France are often mentioned as destinations.”
