Writing in German Jewish monthly “Jüdische Rundschau“, Oliver Veld has appealed to US ambassador and acting DNI Richard Grenell for help against the left-wing media onslaught against free speech and conservatives in Europe.

Conservatives have been under intense fire in Germany from a coalition of the ruling center-left parties, left-wing media and violent Antifa groups ever since the opposition AfD helped elect a governor in the East German state of Thuringia February 5. The leftist outcry managed to force the duly elected governor Thomas Kemmerich (Free Democrats) to step down following a wave of Antifa violence against Free Democrats and the conservative Values Union in Angela Merkel’s formerly conservative Christian Democrats, the Gateway Pundit reported.

After a paranoid schizophrenic man went on a shooting spree Feb. 19 in the town of Hanau, killing 9 mainly Kurdish immigrants at two Kebap stands, the left-wing media have been trying to pin the “racist” killings on the right-wing AfD party, even though the obviously crazy lone shooter released a video in English days ahead of the rampage directed at US viewers, warning them of US president Donald Trump and “deep underground military bases where they worship the devil and torture and kill little children” in the United States.

Now, writing in “Jüdische Rundschau” which also issues a Russian edition catering to the large, and largely conservative Russo-Jewish community in Germany, pundit Oliver Veld appealed to US ambassador in Berlin DNI Richard Grenell to help create a “German Fox News” to counter the massively one-side anti-American and anti-Conservative media in Germany:

The appeal reads:

Dear Mr. Ambassador,

For decades the United States have been helping oppressed people in countries lacking free speech or diversity of speech. Americans created Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty to help Russians, Belorussians, Kazakhs, Turkmens or Iranians, who would otherwise have to rely on their countries’ government-censored media. On Cuba, Radio/TV Martí supplies various programs to provide a diversity of views.

Unfortunately, Germany must now be counted among the countries without and independent media. Basically all leading positions at TV and radio stations, press and journalism schools are filled by leftist and Green cadres. This development is especially pronounced among public broadcasters, as well as “Spiegel” and “Zeit”  weeklies and “Süddeutsche” newspaper. It’s no surprise these leftist outlets often collaborate on their “campaigns” or “investigations”.

If a politician like Philip Amthor (from Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats) dares to call out mass Muslim migration as the greatest current danger to Jews in Germany, he is subjected to a coordinated media barrage and forced to retract or relativize his statement. A small cabal of journalists wants to decide how to use the word “anti-Semitism”. The Cultural Journalism program at the University of Art (UdK) in Berlin, which hires far-leftists as journalism instructors, put on an “Anti-Semitism Seminar” on Feb. 13 without mentioning the greatest current threat to Jews in Europe with a single word.

German media do not hesitate to smear the United States at every turn: U.S. President Donald Trump has mended U.S.-Israeli relationships, buried the unpopular TTIP trade deal, vanquished the butchers of ISIS in the Middle East, kept nuclear dictators in North Korea and Iran in check, put a lid on illegal immigration of terrorists and violent criminals into the U.S., improved the disastrous Obamacare system, gave the Middle East peace process its first new impetus in a long time, and achieved the lowest unemployment rate in his country in decades! But very few media in Germany report on these huge successes. German journalists almost consistently trash-talk the elected President of our most important ally – especially Germany’s evening news flagship, the “Tagesthemen”.

Trump as “Greatest Threat to World Peace”

The result of this kind of coverage is no surprise: While President Trump is busy bringing peace and ending conflicts all over the world, a majority of Germans called him the “greatest threat to world peace” in a December YouGov poll – ahead of Vladimir Putin, North Korea’s Kim Jong UN, Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Chamenei, and China’s President Xi Jinping.

At the same time, the public broadcasters routinely demand more license fees from their captive audiences – but not in order to provide better, more balanced and objective journalism, on the contrary: They keep spawning new channels no one needs, with which to “reeducate” their viewers and provide jobs for fellow leftist activists, with formats like the “Kangaroo Chronicles”, whose sole purpose is to defame the largest opposition party in the Greman Bundestag, the AfD, with infantile humor. The fact that license fees are misused for this kind of political propaganda is a real scandal.

This entrenched. anti-democratic media cabal, in which far-left activists provide their buddies with jobs and salaries, must be disrupted.

We envy you Americans. You have a leader who is a true friend to Jews, who recognizes danger in time and averts it. You have a courageous President, who doesn’t just do what the journalists tell him to, but what is truly in the interests of the people of his nation.

It may not seem like it to you, but the American people have the good fortune of being better informed about the job their President is doing and seeing their own opinions better represented in the media, thanks to conservative media like Fox News, which also give a voice to people who are almost completely ignored in our media here.

Dear Mr. Grenell, 75 years after WW II, we need another US program to bring democracy back to Germany! We need a European Fox News. Please help us! Help us save diversity of opinion in Germany and save our endangered German-American friendship!”

Ambassador Richard Grenell has frequently called out anti-American bias in local media, as Gateway Pundit reported. The ruling Merkel government has been moving to use Gestapo tactics against the AfD opposition since Nov. 2018, when it replaced the head of the secret police with a party hack who is expected to do the government’s bidding.  Speaking to Russia Today recently, AfD foreign policy spokesman Petr Bystron raised the possibility of appealing to international observers like the OECD to ensure basic democratic standards in Germany.

While politics, the state and mainstream media were still busy trying to lie about the rampage of an obviously crazy man in Hanau on all channels into a “right-wing motivated terrorist attack” in order to blame it on the AfD, the Cologne carnival brought back memories of New Year’s Eve 2015/16.

Police NRW Cologne notices a new phenomenon: people deliberately provoke celebrating members of the carnival party to start fights.

Usually the thugs are not dressed up, they have no interest in celebrating. They are deliberately on the lookout for Carnival revellers who have drunk a lot of alcohol. They provoke their victims and then beat them up. Some of it I have seen with my very own eyes, other reliable eyewitnesses known to me describe it as ” civil war-like conditions”, a police officer called it “hell”, and a friend who works in one of the nearby clubs said: “My main job the last few days has been to treat head wounds and the like”.Much more happened, however, because not only were “fights” provoked, but simply started immediately, head-on or from behind, and brutally kicked at victims who were already on the ground. This is what is missing from the reporting. Another striking but decisive detail is missing: The perpetrators have one thing in common, they come from the Islamic migrant milieu. Turks, Arabs, North Africans; some of them are German-speaking (i.e. have been living here for a longer period of time), others are not (i.e. Merkel’s guests). The victims also have one thing in common: they are so-called ” ethnic Germans”. While the Catholic Church cries for Hanau on Shrove Monday, a Muslim mob in Cologne’s carnival has organized four days of targeted hunts for German kids. That would have been the whole truth. But we can’t be expected to tell the truth, because that could push Hanau into the background and play into the hands of the right wing. Therefore they are just ” younger people”. Now, some may still consider it politically correct not to explicitly emphasise the origin of the perpetrators and victims in such acts. The Press Code suggests this in cases where the origin does not play a significant role in the evaluation of the crime. But it does here, because it is the motive: Muslims’ hatred of the Western way of life.

Greek border guards stationed along the country’s northeastern land border with Turkey have deployed tear gas to ward off hundreds of foreign invaders trying to enter Europe after Turkey made good on its promise to “open the gates”.

Yesterday, after Turkish border guards disappeared from their posts after orders to stand down came from above, Greek border guards made “deterrent use” of tear gas to break up around 500 migrants who were trying to enter the country and the European Union, Greek daily newspaper Ekathimerini reports.

Vassillis Mavridis, the mayor of the Greek border town of Orestiada, announced that Turkish border guards had “disappeared since this morning”.

This brazen attempt by such a large group of migrants to illegally enter Greece at the crossing at Evros is the first of its kind since the migrant crisis in 2015. Greek authorities have said that it’s obviously a consequence of the Turkish government’s announcementearlier this week that it would no longer prevent migrants from exiting Turkey to head for continental Europe.

Sources at the Greek-Turkish border told Greek media that additional guards and police have been dispatched, patrols in the area have been increased, and that barbed wire has been placed strategically along the banks of the Evros River to make sure “every centimeter” of Greece’s and the EU’s border frontier is guarded.

The same sources also noted that the Kastanies crossing had been shut off and that additional security forces had been deployed to posts across Macedonia and Thrace. Coast guard patrols have also increased off of the port city of Alexandroupolis to stop invaders passing through Turkey’s Gallipoli Peninsula toward Greece.

Turkey has been threatening to flood Europe with the 3.6 million migrants it has been housing for some time now. Last September, Turkish President Recep Erodgan said that if Europe failed to provide additional logistical support to assist Turkey in dealing with migrants, that he would “open the gates” and “flood” Europe with migrants.

Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu has also repeatedly threatened Europe, saying things like: “We are facing the biggest wave of migration in history. If we open the floodgates, no European government will be able to survive for more than six months. We advise them not to try our patience.”

Violent clashes between ethnic Congolese communities erupted in the centre of Paris, sparked by militias from the Congolese diaspora who accused a singer involved in efforts in North Kivu of being too close to the central government in that country. Coming from the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where armed militias are fighting against the central government, Fally Ipupa has already declared support for the central government against the secessionists in North Kivu.

North Kivu is a province bordering on Lake Kivu in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, and its capital is Goma. The region is politically unstable and since 1998 has been one of the flashpoints of the military conflicts in the region.

As of 2019, North Kivu is also the site of an ongoing Ebola epidemic, which has been compounded by continued political instability in the region.

Ipupa regularly finances humanitarian actions there, including the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Denis Mukwege. The Panzi Hospital, run by Mukwege, is also financed by the Swedish Pentecostal movement.

The most prominent and prevalent conflict minerals procured in the Kivu districts are gold and coltan. Due to its high financial value, rival militias are involved in the Kivu conflict. “Gold is now, as of 2013, the most important conflict mineral in eastern Congo, with at least 12 tons worth roughly $500 million smuggled out of the east every year,” AllAfrica reported.

In July 2010, the US Dodd-Frank Act was passed and, shortly afterwards, the DRC government suspended mining in the eastern provinces in what amounted to a de facto embargo on strategic minerals. However, the ban encouraged armed groups.

Many researchers argue that the conflicts are rather about demographics, citizenship and land rights, fuelled by the belief that the DRC government was not able or willing to protect the Tutsi community.

A group of “fighters”, as they call themselves, were opposed the holding of Ipupa’s concert, “and even threatened to beat up the performing artist and his entire orchestra ”, explained the news site Media Congo.

“It has been more than ten years that I have been removed from French concert halls,” the singer told French newspaper Jeune Afrique, in February 2020. Faced with these risks of violence, the Prefecture of Police in Paris decided to ban seven demonstrations at around the AccorHotels Arena, on February 28, the evening of the show.

Nicknamed “El Maravilloso”, the targeted singer is adulated in the Democratic Republic of Congo, but he is accused of being too close to the government in power. He has not been able to perform in France for over a decade because of the threat posed by these opponents, explained Le Figaro. In 2017, he had to cancel a concert at La Cigale in the French capital.

As multiple fires were set on the sidelines of the concert of the Congolese star, the Gare de Lyon had to be evacuated on Friday, February 28, around the Gare de Lyon.

Several videos posted on social networks show rubbish bins and scooters burning, resulting in a thick cloud of black smoke over the entire area. Clashes between individuals and firefighters dispatched to the scene also broke out. Some Congolese individuals have also tried to prevent the firemen from doing their job.

Activists from the Congolese diaspora, opposed to the regime of President Félix Tshisekedi, are being held responsible for the violence.

For fear of disturbing public order, the Paris police headquarters had announced the ban on planned demonstrations around the Bercy performance hall, since rallies had been announced ahead of the concert.

“Several calls to demonstrate around the hall with the intention of having a fight with the spectators of the concert,” had been launched, according to the police headquarters. A strong police presence was already observable at the end of the afternoon around the AccorHotels Arena.

On Twitter, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, who was going to take a train at the Gare de Lyon, denounced the vents as “a riot” on the part of individuals armed with “iron bars”. He also pointed to “the weakness of the state” which “has become unbearable”. “When we are in power, we will finally uphold France, order and justice,” he promised.

The liberal media wallowed in its loathing of white supremacists when Philadelphia’s Cecil B. Moore mural was defaced right during Black History Month.

Moore was a City Councilmember credited with leading the crusade to desegregate Girard College.

As CBSN Philly reported mid-month,

North Philly residents are outraged after discovering offensive and racist language on the mural of Moore. The vandalism included the F-word and the N-word and it was an eyesore on the corner of Bouvier and Jefferson Streets on Saturday morning after someone defaced the 25-year-old mural overnight.

“The timing, it’s Black History Month. It’s a nice, black area. It’s just not adding up,” [neighbor Chris] Jackson said.

Sure it adds up. It adds up to yet another hate hoax.

CBSN Philly follows up:

Philadelphia police have released images of the suspect wanted for spray-painting racial slurs on the Cecil B. Moore mural in North Philadelphia. Police say he was also caught spray-painting slurs at Brightside Academy and Habitat for Humanity. …

The suspect is described as a black male…

Never mind, nothing to see here, folks.

Terrified commuters have been evacuated from the iconic Gare de Lyon station in Paris as a huge fire has broken out. Smoke was seen billowing from the roof of the station as people quickly took to social media to share their horror at the fire. It is not yet known what has caused the fire.

Children in kindergartens across Dresden in Germany will be required to listen to Arabic songs and fairy tales, thanks to a program supported by the “Erzählraum” association, which has received funding from the German government.

“We don’t give language classes, but we want to promote the multilingualism of the Upper Lusatia-Lower Silesia cultural area. These include, among others, the German, Sorbian, Polish, Czech, Russian, English, Syrian-Arabic and many other languages,” wrote the association in a statement.

According to Das Bild, the German government in Saxony is funding the project this year with €17,000, with the person responsible for the project receiving another €6,000 from a cultural association known as Kulturraum Oberlausitz-Niederlesien.

The program, whose supporters say Germany is becoming more multicultural and needs such programs to bridge the gap between different cultural and ethnic groups, has been met with sharp criticism from both politicians and parents.

According to German newspaper Junge Freiheit, the Alternative for Germany (AfD), which is known for its efforts to limit immigration to Germany, advocates for teaching young people German folk and children’s songs that have been increasingly forgotten.

The issue of voluntary participation has also been raised.

“We are a fixed item on the program, participation for the children is not voluntary,” said 41-year-old Julie Richter, a member of the “Erzählraum” association, who added that while it was still unclear exactly how many kindergartens they would visit, the association wouldl still “prefer those attended by Arab children.”

The problem of integration has been a major issue in Germany, especially in regard to language. The AfD argues teaching songs native to Germany will help young children improve their mother tongue.

The Turkish government on Thursday said that it would open its border with Syria and permit any and all migrants from the Middle East to pass through to reach Europe.

The senior Turkish official said that Erdogan’s government has decided to no longer allocate resources to stopping Syrian migrants from reaching Europe by land or sea, Reuters reports.

According to the senior official’s announcement, Turkish police, coast guard, and border security officials have been ordered to stand down.

The move, which Recep Erdogan has been threatening to take for a long time now, comes allegedly due to imminent wave of nearly 1 million Syrian migrants who’ve been displaced from Idlib.

Concerning the announcement, Ragio Soylu, a prominent Turkish journalist wrote on Twitter:  “Land and sea crossings to Europe would be free to pass for the NEXT 72 HOURS and Turkey will open the borders immediately.”

Despite having made a deal with the European Union in 2016 to stop the flow of migrants from the Middle East into Europe, Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan and his top official have repeatedly threatened to “open the gates” and “flood” Europe with migrants.

In August of last year,  Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu said, “We are facing the biggest wave of migration in history. If we open the floodgates, no European government will be able to survive for more than six months. We advise them not to try our patience.”

Weeks later, Turkish President Recep Erdogan threatened Europe again, saying: “Give us logistical support and we can go build housing at 30 km (20 miles) depth in northern Syria. This way, we can provide them with humanitarian living conditions.”

“This either happens or otherwise we will have to open the gates.”

Turkey is currently hosting close to 3.6 million Syrian ‘refugees,’ many of whom have arrived since the height of the migrant crisis in 2016. If he were to let them all head to Europe unimpeded, it would make the 2015-2016 migrant crisis look like a walk in the park.
