According to the Hamburg Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the illegal Islamist Hizb ut-Tahrir is becoming increasingly popular in the Hanseatic city. While in 2018 there were still 220 and last year about 250 German or Afghan and Turkish-born supporters, the “Party of Liberation” today has about 300 members, said Marco Haase, spokesman for the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.The reasons are the general influx into the Islamic communities as well as the new insights into the dark field by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. A total of 1660 people in Hamburg currently belong to the Islamist grouping, which also includes the new grouping “Muslim Interactive”.

This is represented in the social media, currently has almost 4000 subscribers on Instagram and the target group is primarily young Muslims living in Germany. The circle of supporters for the media campaigns is around 100 people, said Haase. The organisers and supporters of the actions come from Hamburg, according to the findings of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, or at least the videos are usually staged against the Hamburg backdrop. The use of language in the films shows clear parallels to the networks Generation Islam (GI) and Reality Islam, which in turn can be attributed to the ideological context of Hizb ut-Tahrir.

Muslim Interaktiv had drawn attention, inter alia, by protest actions in front of the Austrian and French embassies in Berlin and by a motorcade in Hamburg downtown, all of which were subsequently distributed online. Haase emphasised: “In such actions and campaigns it is not the thematisation of social grievances or the advocacy of those affected for certain population groups that is questionable, but the misuse of important topics while concealing the real intentions.

Hizb ut-Tahrir – which originated from the Muslim Brotherhood – supports the use of violence as a means of achieving political goals according to the Federal Ministry of the Interior’s decree banning the use of violence, spreads anti-Semitic hate propaganda and calls for the killing of Jews. It is striving for a worldwide caliphate and wants the complete introduction of the Sharia. The prohibition of activities issued in 2003 was confirmed by the Federal Administrative Court in 2006. The European Court of Human Rights had rejected an appeal against it in 2012.

Recently, public demonstrations by Islamists in Hamburg, organised by several groups in response to the murder of a Parisian history teacher, had caused a stir.

The British army has chosen to go to “war” against opponents of the upcoming mass vaccinations that are planned. It is the 77th Brigade, the so-called DCSU, or “Defense Cultural Specialist Unit” that will monitor and counter “online propaganda against vaccines”.

According to the Sunday Times, vaccine dissidents will be hunted down by pinpointing adversarial physical, virtual and cognitive behaviours. The unit was founded in 2010 and worked with psyops teams in Afghanistan by studying the behaviors and cultural characteristics of the Afghan people and then providing cultural and linguistic advice to the British ground troops, the brigade noted on its own website.

But the department’s work has continued and now focuses on influencing people via social media. Ahead of the planned mass vaccination campaigns that will be launched in the UK, the brigade’s collective experience and capabilities are said to play a major role in counteracting and combating opponents of the vaccines that the authorities want to force the population to take.

According to the newspaper Newsweek, at least one of those in charge on Twitter has direct links to the 77th Brigade. This individual is Gordon MacMillan who started working for Twitter in 2013 and is responsible for the editorial work that Twitter puts out in the Middle East and North Africa. At the same time, he also worked for the 77th Brigade as an “active reservist”, but both Twitter and the British military have played down their cooperation.

Twitter has denied sharing information with intelligence services. The 77th Brigade said in a brief statement to Newsweek: “There is no relationship or agreement between the 77th Brigade and Twitter, other than that we use Twitter as one of many social media platforms for engagement and communication. The army does not comment on the specific activities of reservists working within the division.”

According to the Sunday Times, the brigade is already monitoring the network for Covid-19-related material and analyzing how British citizens are affected by this. The brigade denied that it was actively trying to influence British citizens in a specific direction, instead claiming that it “collects evidence of vaccine information from hostile states, including Russia”.

But the brigade’s activities do not stop at gathering information, but also consist of direct surveillance and countering of “enemy actors”, which in this case includes what is called “militant vaccine opponents”. How vaccine opponents become “militant” seems unclear, however, instead it seems to be about all groups and individuals who are opposed to the vaccines, regardless of whether this comes from conspiracy theories about the dangers of vaccines.

The British authorities will thus soon launch a massive and comprehensive campaign to combat vaccine resistance, which is also large in the UK, where every third Briton – similar figures as in Sweden – is hesitant to take the rapidly evolving vaccines that will soon be available, experience Times. The work of the 77th Brigade will then be to attack and fight vaccine opponents in various ways so that only a positive image of the vaccines will reach the population through various information and misinformation campaigns. Even when one chooses to call vaccine critics and opponents “militants”, one can assume that these campaigns have already begun.

Sweden is also suspected of launching extensive mass vaccination campaigns through several authorities, such as the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) and the National Board of Health and Welfare, during the winter to, just like in the UK, influence people to take the new vaccines.

More migrants than Germans, permanently failed integration, indifferent politics: a politician of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) declares his native country, Altenessen, to have broken down.

What do you think his party colleague, North Rhine-Westphalia “refugee minister” Joachim Stamp, has to say about this?It’s an oath of disclosure that Thomas Spilker, chairman of the FDP in the northern Essen district of Altenessen, recently posted on Facebook: The man from Altenessen declares integration to have failed. The relationship between “new citizens and old-established residents” (newspaper WAZ) is said to be damaged. Spilker wrote:”That is why the citizens of Altenessen are moving away. The homeland is fading away.” Local politics had long since written off the north of Essen, ” at will by all fractions”. This is also shown by the recent decision to close a hospital. His shocking conclusion:

“I recommend everyone to move away from here, because politics does not want any change.”

Gabriele Walger-Demolsky, spokeswoman for integration policy of the AfD faction in North Rhine-Westphalia, commented:

“I am surprised that Mr Spilker is so open in his assessment. Unfortunately, Minister Stamp of the Liberal Democratic Party has been in charge for a longer period of time, so he carries on zealously practicing the very policy that is responsible for the situation in Altenessen”.

“However, the citizens of NRW cannot afford to wait until he and the rest of the FDP leadership also get their pennies dropped.

By then it could be too late – not only for the north of Essen, Duisburg’s Marxloh district or Gelsenkirchen’s Ückendorf district, where things look no different, but for the entire state of North Rhine-Westphalia.”

The total number of wanted persons recorded in the Police Information System (INPOL-Z) as of September 30, 2020, with an arrest warrant and arrest due to a crime, for execution of a sentence, accommodation or deportation/removal/return, amounted to 174,100.

This is the result of the German government’s response to a parliamentary question by the AfD parliamentary group led by Stephan Brandner. In addition, as of September 30, 2020, a total of 7,163 outstanding arrest warrants for 1,456 persons with a politically motivated background were issued in INPOL-Z or those of foreign authorities in the Schengen Information System (SIS II). Of these, 116 pending arrest warrants fall under the category “left”, 628 under the category “right” and 196 under the category “foreign ideology”. However, 5,767 pending arrest warrants could be assigned to the category of “religious ideology”.Stephan Brandner is alarmed by the further increase in the number of pending arrest warrants, especially in the category of religious ideology:

“Compared to March this year, the number of pending arrest warrants for politically motivated crime increased by 333. These figures are extremely worrying, particularly in view of the fact that 259 warrants for terrorist offences are included. The Federal Government is also aware of 169 persons with an unsealed arrest warrant, 165 of them from the PMK area of ‘religious ideology’ and 21 relevant persons with pending warrants, 18 of them from the category of ‘religious ideology’.

The figures clearly show that Islamism in all its forms is the greatest threat to our country and our democracy. Anyone who underestimates this and pours more and more money into the fight against the Right-wing, while other extremists can do their damage virtually unobserved, disregards the fact that we are on a ticking time bomb”.

On Thursday, December 3, Jean Castex presented France’s vaccination strategy to fight against the Coronavirus: A campaign in three phases which will begin in a few weeks and will run until the summer.

However, the French have not been convinced of its usefulness. According to an Ifop-Fiducial poll for CNews and Sud Radio, a majority (61 percent) of them are still reluctant to receive an injection and 28 percent are adamant about it. The remaining 33 percent will “probably not” get the vaccine.

In detail, the most reluctant ones are the voters of the National Rally (80 percent) and La France insoumise (69 percent). The supporters of the Socialist Party and the Republicans are very divided, since one half is in favor and the other is not.

Among supporters of President’s Macron’s La République en Marche, 62 percent are pro-vaccine.

Another lesson is that young people are the most reluctant to be vaccinated: 70 percent among those under 35 compared to 58 percent among those 35 and over. The reasons for this distrust? “There are fears about the harmfulness of vaccines, but also segments of the population susceptible to conspiracy theory. Many people also say they don’t need it, either because they have already been sick or because they do not feel in danger from the virus,” said Frédéric Dabi, deputy director general of the Ifop polling institute.

During an expected press conference, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced that France will have a potential of reaching “200 million doses or 100 million people, knowing that the vaccine requires two doses a few weeks apart”. It will be completely free for everyone. The first phase will begin within a few weeks, at the end of December in January, and will target as a priority the elderly in establishment.

In nursing homes, residents and caregivers at risk will therefore be vaccinated first, which represents one million people. The second phase will begin in February 2021 and will continue until spring. It will be extended to nearly 14 million people “with an age-related risk factor”. Finally, the third and final phase, which will begin after spring, will consist in gradually opening up vaccination to the entire population.
