Probably over the course of the past weekend, unknown perpetrators broke five window panes at the Sacred Heart Church in Singen am Hohentwiel (photo), causing considerable damage to property. Some of the broken windows at the church on Herz-Jesu-Platz squate in the street Alpenstraße are so-called lead glass windows. The Singen police ( Tel. 07731 888-0) have conducted an investigation and are asking for any relevant clues about the perpetrators.

On a late Saturday afternoon, French police in the Val-Fourré district in the city of Mantes-la-Jolie were attacked from participants involved in the filming of an unauthorized rap video.

Images leaked on social media show about a hundred young people ready to attend the filming of the clip of Niaks, a rapper from the city.

The crowd is seen without face masks or any respect for social distancing regulations, and is believed to consist mainly of locals, but some attendants had also arrived from Creil and Aubervilliers.

As Le Parisien reported, for some reason, the mood was intense, and, in the rush that followed the video shoot, a police patrol on duty nearby was targeted. No arrests were made, and, fortunately, there were no injuries.

According to a police source, clashes with the crowd led to several episodes of violence. Just before midnight, the police were attacked by about 30 people. However, there were no injuries.

Clips of the film shoot were also posted online in the lead-up to the clashes with police.

It is not the first time that the Val-Fourré has served as a backdrop for rap clips. In 2014, fifteen police officers were attacked by 50 young people who were filming a video in the neighborhood. Three minors had been arrested, then.

On the same evening, the police station in Trappes became a target of eight mortar shots.

On Saturday last week, 600 doctors and practice staff from the city and region of Hanover should have been vaccinated. In fact, only 200 “vaccinated people” turned up, reports the NDR.

The others let the appointment pass without cancellation, as the Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung (HAZ) reported on Saturday. According to the Hanover region, the appointments had been agreed in writing between the individual practices and the vaccination centre. However, the medical staff on hand in the vaccination centre on the exhibition grounds waited in vain for their medical colleagues.

Cordula Drautz, who is responsible for the vaccination centre’s finance department, told the HAZ that two thirds did not come to the vaccination, and it was a “worrying number and a terrifying signal – we would have liked to give the appointments to others”. It is normally accepted that ten percent of those registered do not come to the vaccination appointment.

According to the Lower Saxony Medical Association, fear of the vaccine from the British-Swedish manufacturer AstraZeneca are the reason for the low vaccination rate among doctors. A week ago, complications from the vaccine became known. Therefore, President Monika Wenker told the HAZ that said she could understand the reluctance.

However, the vaccine has now been declared safe again, but trust in AstraZeneca has yet to be rebuilt. Some 700 doctors and staff from the practices were registered for vaccination this past Saturday. Information on how many of them actually came to the appointment this time is not yet available.

Thomas Morf is back. For ten years, he was CEO of the Bucherer watch brand, then of the Hanhart brand, which belonged to Philippe Gaydoul’s group of companies, and later, until the end of 2018, he was head of the traditional Favre-Leuba for the Indian conglomerate Tata.

Now the patent number 712725 has been granted by the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property (IGE) as of December 30, 2020, about four and a half years after the application: “Module for incorporation into a wristwatch, comprising a direction indicating means for a mechanical direction indicator”: Under the brand name Aramedes, Morf and two partners want to sell wristwatches to Muslims that provide central information for the practice of Islam; when fully equipped, there are three of them.

The small dial at “3” shows the most important information, the respective direction to Mecca, where the believers are directed to pray. The one at “9” shows the next prayer time, which depends on the position of the sun and thus the location, and the totaliser at “6” shows when it is allowed to eat and when it is necessary to fast during Ramadan.

The information is provided by software on an integrated circuit board that uses mobile phone triangulation to calculate the wearer’s location and control the hands of the mechanical movement – an absolute innovation in the watch market. The watch is produced in Switzerland and the movements are made by Sellita and Vaucher.

Morf estimates the market potential to be very large, “after all, there are 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide, with around 15 million pilgrims in Mecca alone every year”; Saudi Arabia wants to increase this number further. Target customers are “global urban Muslims” à la London’s mayor Sadiq Khan, religious and modern, but who enjoy classic “Made in Switzerland”. Of course, there are apps that display such information, but the watch is “clearly a lifestyle product”. Steel or platinum are the materials of choice for the case, with prices starting at 5,000 Swiss francs and going up to 80,000 at the highest level, including a tourbillon.

One of the things about living in a totalitarian society is that, once something has been identified as problematic, everyone ends up competing to attack in the most aggressive way. Fail to do so, and you may find yourself being the next person identified as problematic. Perhaps that explains why the University of Oxford, founded in 1096, is contemplating ending sheet music because it’s part of white supremacy.

To be honest, it’s a little bit hard to make sense of the story because it’s so screamingly stupid. Apparently, music professors are claiming that all Western classical music has “complicity in white supremacy.” This seems to include such composers as Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, and Handel, all of whom were living in continental Europe in the 17th through 19th centuries and none of whom had anything whatsoever to do with Blacks, Africa, or the slave trade.

The problem is that they and their musical notations existed at the same time as the African slave trade. And that’s not a typo:

University staff have argued that the current curriculum focuses on ‘white European music from the slave period’, according to The Telegraph.  

Documents seen by the publication indicate proposed reforms to target undergraduate courses.
It claimed that teaching musical notation had ‘not shaken off its connection to its colonial past’ and would be ‘a slap in the face’ to some students.
And it added that musical skills should no longer be compulsory because the current repertoire’s focus on ‘white European music’ causes ‘students of colour great distress’. 

A couple of comments. First, this strikes me as being profoundly insulting to “students of colour,” who are presumably so dull-witted and hypersensitive that they are incapable of coping with anything from the past. The reality is that Africans have been enslaving each other since time immemorial because all people enslaved each other.

The only ones to break from this idea were the Jews (think Passover, the celebration of the world’s first slave revolt). It took the Christian world until the late 18th century to catch up with that idea. The Muslim world still hasn’t. The reality is that slavery has always been part of the human condition and it’s only because of White Jews and Christians (with or without musical notation) that it ended in the West.

Second, I think the Oxford music teachers know this is bunkum. They’re raising it only because they feel that, unless they chime in on the Black Lives Matter issue and show themselves to be on board with it, they will be the next target. Under the tyranny that is BLM, if you’re not with them, you’re against them, and if you’re against them, you will be destroyed in the next purge (and there’s always a next purge).

As I watch the endless waves of BLM stupidity in corporations and academic institutions in the English-speaking world, I’m reminded of nothing so much as the mourners at Kim Jong-il’s funeral. They knew that the secret police were watching and that anyone showing insufficient grief was at risk of being carted off to a concentration camp. That’s why you see videos such as the one below showing thousands of people engaged in hysterical weeping. Yes, they were told that their communist godhead had died, but what you’re seeing in these videos isn’t grief, it’s fear:

That same stench of totalitarian fear is, quite disgracefully, oozing out of Oxford. An institution with over a thousand years of solid academics behind it shouldn’t be groveling before the Marxist BLM thugs.
