Some migrants to Germany express gratitude for all they have received from the German government despite illegally entering the country and imposing themselves on the German Taxpayer.
Olaf Latzel (52 y/o) is a campaigner for the faith. The pastor of the St. Martini parish always has a crowded church for his controversial Sunday sermons. During the Corona crisis, at least 10,000 followers switch to his digital church services via telephone or Internet.
But especially in the left-wing scene the evangelical man of God is a source of controversy. For five weeks he has been massively stalked and attacked. Latzel: “Unknown persons have scratched my car on all sides. The display case and the church door have been smeared with left-wing symbols and hate slogans.” At the beginning of March, 50 leftist protesters disrupted a church service. They handed out fake forms in front of the church for an immediate leaving of the church. Latzel: “Many parishioners were afraid, felt threatened.”
And the terror continued. A full 10-liter yogurt bucket was thrown against the church door. A prankster ordered a car in the pastor’s name from a VW dealership. Especially bad: at Latzel’s digital live church services unknown hackers try to smuggle hate slogans and porn sites onto the homepage.
The preacher: “I wonder what would happen if our church was actually a mosque? We are defencelessly at the mercy of these hostilities. The police come quickly. But all proceedings have been dropped so far.”
Berlin’s Left-wing Mayor and Interior Secretary have both accused the Trump administration of “piracy” for allegedly “confiscating” 200.000 N95 masks ordered for Berlin police from 3M in China. When called out by the conservative opposition, the entire story turned out to be Fake News.
Berlin’s Interior Secretary Andreas Geisel confirmed his anti-American allegations to Left-wing Tagesspiegel newspaper, which ran with the story without waiting for independent confirmation or checking with US authorities.
“We regard this as an act of international piracy,” Geisel said.
“This is not how you treat your Transatlantic partners,” Geisel added while accusing Trump of employing “Wild West” methods.
Berlin’s Left wing-mayor Michael Müller then chimed in on the anti-American Trump-bashing, claiming “The US President’s actions are far from solidarity and responsibility. They are inhuman and unacceptable.”
Police commissioner Barbara Slowik told the Tagesspiegel they had ordered 400,000 N95 masks from a US manufacturer, 200,000 of which she claimed had been “confiscated” at Bangkok airport. “We have to assume this is a result of US export restrictions.”
City council leader Burkard Dregger (CDU) questioned the allegations, calling them “deliberately misleading”.
“The USA has no power to confiscate protective gear in a foreign country. The Senate is seeking a scapegoat to the pin the blame on for their own failure to stockpile enough protective equipment,” Dregger said.
The outrageous claim then began to fall apart almost immediately.
On Friday evening, manufacturer 3M told press agency dpa, they had “no record of an order for 3M masks from China by the Berlin police,” and “no indication that any 3M products were confiscated.” The White House similarly stated the US had not “confiscated” any PPE destined for abroad.
On Saturday, the Berlin Interior Department had to admit the order had been placed with the 3M affiliate in Germany, of which 200.000 masks had merely been delayed in Bangkok. The reason was unclear. The US government was not involved.
The Berlin Mayor or Interior secretary have yet to apologize. The US embassy protested on Twitter:
This isn’t the first time the German Left has tried to weaponize their hatred for Donald Trump during the Chinese COVID-19 pandemic.
In Mid-March, Angela Merkel’s flagship newspaper WELT accused President Donald Trump of trying to buy up German biotech company CureVac and secure a possible coronavirus serum “exclusively for the USA” – a story that turned out to be wholly fabricated.
US Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell has been vocal in protesting rampant anti-Americanism in German Media, and erected a statue of Ronald Reagan on the roof of the Berlin embassy when the Left-wing government refused to grant a site in the city. The Left-wing Berlin government also refused landing rights to US Air Force veterans commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Berlin Blockade in June 2019, after the 90-year old-vets had flown their vintage aircraft across the Atlantic for the event.

A top German intelligence official who earned the moniker “Mr. Hezbollah” has urged Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government, as well as the global community, to not let up on pressure targeting international and domestic terrorism.Gerhard Conrad, who formerly worked for the Federal Intelligence Service in the Arab world, told the paper Welt am Sonntag last week that the pressure must continue on terrorism structures, adding that “the direct and indirect effects of the pandemic on the stability of the countries concerned worldwide deserve special attention.”
His name is probably an alias due to his work as a top spy for the federal republic.Conrad earned the moniker “Mr. Hezbollah” within German intelligence circles because of his talks to secure prisoner swaps with the Lebanon-based Shi’ite terrorist group. He retired from espionage in November but continues training programs for intelligence officials.The two terrorist groups Islamic State (ISIS) and al-Qaida view the coronavirus crisis as an opportunity to attack targets. In its al-Naba newsletter in mid-March, ISIS called on its terrorists to carry out attacks. Western countries, however, have not followed Conrad’s advice. France announced that it will withdraw stationed soldiers in Iraq. The German government is shaving its numbers of soldiers in Iraq.Conrad told the German paper that “The virus crisis poses a threat to the stability and security of many countries.”
The virus could weaken security structures and lead to strengthened terrorist networks, he added.Merkel has faced intense pressure from the US and Israel to ban the entire terrorist entity Hezbollah in Germany, where 1,050 Hezbollah members and supporters operate. She has refused to outlaw the Lebanese Shi’ite entity within the borders of Germany.The former security coordinator for late chancellor Helmut Kohl’s government, Bernd Schmidbauer, told the paper: “I will write to Angela Merkel in the next few days and ask her to step up the activities of the security authorities.”Schmidbauer called for a change of strategy to conform the foreign security service to the coronavirus crisis. “All information related to the pandemic is now extremely important for Germany,” he said, adding that “the danger from extremists and terrorists who want to exploit such a situation for their own purposes is particularly great.”He cited the dangers of “networks in the Maghreb countries and in the Middle East. In addition, the virus crisis could result in a new wave of refugees to Europe.”Conrad said there should also be a focus on “disinformation campaigns” carried out by states in connection with the deadly virus.Germany’s domestic intelligence agency told the paper that one of its “priorities” is to monitor the coronavirus in its designated assignment areas. Conrad was accused of dropping his mediator’s neutrality in 2008 when he sealed a deal gaining the release of the bodies of two IDF reservists, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, for the freedom of five terrorists, including the child-murderer Samir Kuntar.The Gilad Schalit prisoner exchange process was also a controversial process for Conrad. Fox News reported in late 2009 that an Israeli source close to the Netanyahu government and the Schalit negotiations said that Conrad “seems to be more favorable to Hamas, possibly because of Germany’s economic ties with Iran, known to be Hamas’s financial and ideological backer.”In 2011, Schalit gained his freedom from his Hamas captors in exchange for Israel releasing 1,027 terrorists and prisoners.
Christian Easter is cancelled in Germany, but the Muslim Ramadan is to take place as planned – so far. For example with a large-scale celebration, where about 50,000 Muslims will gather in Dortmund for three weeks to celebrate. Europe’s major Ramadan event in Europe with 50.000 visitors (!) will take place in the Westphalia Halls in Dortmund. Despite allegedly great dangers because of Corona virus and despite the fact that the churches were urged shortly before to cancel the Easter festival. And they have been intimidated, with very few notable exceptions. At least this is what the city of Dortmund said a few weeks ago.And up to the hour the festival is eagerly advertised, but a request to the organizer, who continues to announce the event, whether the event should continue, has remained unanswered so far. Also the city of Dortmund has received a press request from the internet portal PP, as soon as we get more information here, we will publish it here! The only concession to the contact and curfew, allegedly implemented for our safety, that the municipality has made so far: the whole thing does not take place in the open air, but in the halls.

Due to the coronavirus crisis, the Islamic Council for the Federal Republic of Germany has requested financial aid for the mosques, many which now allegedly face bankruptcy, according to Junge Freiheit.
The German government’s strict measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus, including a ban on gatherings of more than two people, have also brought traditional religious services in the country to a complete halt, including for Christians, Muslims and Jews.
The Islamic Council wrote in as statement that many mosques are reaching their financial limits.
“Due to the loss of daily prayers and Friday prayers, a considerable proportion of the donations were canceled and no suitable replacement has been found,” Burhan Kesici, the chairman of the Islamic Council for the Federal Republic of Germany, said in the statement.
Now many mosques fear they will be unable to pay bills, rent or the salary for imams.
Muslims also fear that coronavirus preventative measures will also be in place during the fasting month of Ramadan, which takes place between April 23 and May 24. Donations during that period make up a significant portion of the annual budgets for many mosques.
Currently, there are signs that the restrictions will indeed be in place during that period, which means many mosques would no longer be solvent, according to Kesici.
“Against this background, we call on the federal and state governments to take measures to protect and preserve the mosque communities,” he wrote.
Kesici says mosque communities now need urgent financial help and argues that mosques make an important contribution to society.
“The vast majority of Islamrat mosques can look back on decades of tradition. They were built with great effort and with the own resources of the former guest workers. Leaving them and their communities alone in this difficult time would be inappropriate and would not do justice to the life’s work of the founding fathers of these mosque communities,”warned Kesici.
Kesici also expressed understanding for preventative measures, saying the Islamic religious community fully supports the measures.
“The protection of life and health are entrusted to us by Allah and enjoys the high priority,” he wrote.
Despite Kesici’s claims, not all members of the Muslim community appear to support the ban on religious gatherings. Video from Berlin shows dozens of Muslims gathering at a mosque and chanting “Allahu Akbar” in what was a clear violation of social distancing measures.
Police in the video try to disperse the crowd but are mostly ignored. Once the call to prayer ends, many of them get into taxis or cars and drive away from the mosque while others were filmed hugging.ISSUES.

Three people were slightly injured in a mass brawl in front of a kebab restaurant in Mülheim an der Ruhr. The men, aged 27, 29 and 54, were taken to hospital, according to police.
The evening before, “a large number of people” had first verbally clashed in front of the snack bar. The argument escalated. The participants then beat each other with wooden slats, among other things. The area in front of the snack bar was devastated: Bar tables, flyers and various boxes lay on the floor.
Officials noted the personal data, but there were no arrests. Now they’re investigating for aggravated assault and battery. According to the police, a total of 15 to 20 people were at the scene of the incident.
According to initial investigations, a fight between the 29-year-old snack bar owner and his employees and a group of men had taken place. Investigations into the background are continuing.
Shouldn’t doner kebab stands also be closed due to the corona virus, or are there special permits?
Unbelievable: The dispute is said to have been about meat quality. Wasn’t it halal?
