“The left-wing elites have not improved since Jack Unterweger*.” Leo Kohlbauer, Member of the Vienna State Parliament judges the Directorate of Education in Vienna very harshly.

There, an IS repatriate is to speak to school principals of the City of Vienna on the 21st of February. Kohlbauer locates an “absurdity of leftist fantasies of rehabilitation”. The scandal was uncovered by the online platform “Fass ohne Boden”. The Department of Education of the City of Vienna is currently inviting to an event on the topic of “Phenomenon Radicalisation – School works / School causes”.

There, not only a “deradicalization expert” named Moussa Al-Hassan Diaw is to appear, but also a former holy warrior named Oliver N., who returned to Austria after his battle for the Islamic state. During his seven-month period with the brutal terrorist militia, the jihadist publicly called for the slaughter of the infidels. He was finally sentenced in Austria to two and a half years in prison for membership of a terrorist organization. Now he is to lecture as an expert to Viennese school principals. When the plan became public, the Viennese member of parliament Leo Kohlbauer ( Freedom Party of Austria) made his anger known via Twitter. “Instead of prison, the jihadist is now being glorified and is making money as a lecturer,” said Kohlbauer. A half-hour portrait of Oliver N. is available on YouTube, which has been produced for the German broadcaster NDR in the television broadcast STRG_F. He himself had never taken an active part in fighting. At least this could not be proved to him in court. In the interview he mentions having seen at least 50 dead, “maybe more”. “I invite you to come here and slaughter,” he said in an I.S. propaganda video. From Syria, he sent death threats against former colleagues and acquaintances. These too were to be “slaughtered”.

*Johann “Jack” Unterweger (16 August 1951 – 29 June 1994) was an Austrian serial killer who committed murder in several countries. Initially convicted in 1974 of a single murder, he began to write extensively while in prison. His work gained the attention of the Austrian literary elite, who took it as evidence that he had been rehabilitated. After significant lobbying, he was released on parole in 1990.

After his release, he became a minor celebrity and worked as a playwright and journalist, but within months he began to kill women serially. After being convicted of an additional nine murders in 1994, he committed suicide in prison by hanging himself.

The AfD Hamburg has not found a place in the city to complete its campaign. Therefore, the event with AfD leader Jörg Meuthen had to take place in Henstedt-Ulzburg in Schleswig-Holstein, the party said on Tuesday.

A few days ago, a restaurant in the Wilhelmsburg district had told the AfD  that they were not welcome there. Previously, the Hamburg “Alliance against Right” had asked the landlord not to rent any rooms to the AfD.

Hamburg’s AfD chief Dirk Nockemann said that his party would be massively restricted in the campaign for the general election next weekend. “Unscrupulous and violent left-wing extremists trample on our fundamental democratic rights. Many talk about the climate emergency, but Hamburg has long experienced a democratic emergency,” said Nockemann.

He also blamed the Senate for this. It has been financing and tolerating left-wing extremist structures for years. “When will the public finally understand that Antifa has our democracy firmly in a headlock,” the MP said.

On the night of Monday, left-wing extremists had vandalized the house of Nockemann. The perpetrators had thrown several bottles of champagne filled with paint against the facade and several windows around two o’clock, the AfD politician said.

The alleged perpetrators then claimed responsibility on the extreme left-wing website “Indymedia”.

While the outrage over the AfD’s votes was still making waves in the Thuringian state parliament, the apartment block was smeared with paint because the AfD allegedly stands for racism and repression. “It is unbearable that the AfD sits in state parliaments, has its say in the media and spreads its inhuman propaganda!”

Italy’s globalist-controlled Senate has voted to indict Matteo Salvini – Italy’s most popular politician, former Interior Minister, and leader of the populist League party – on charges of alleged “migrant kidnapping”.

The trumped-up charges filed by Italian globalists date back to last summer when then-Interior Minister Salvini prevented 130 migrant invaders from disembarking at an Italian port.

The Senate’s decision to uphold a committee decision to strip Salvini of his parliamentary immunity overturns a long-held Italian law which gives ministers parliamentary immunity for actions they’ve taken while in office.

A proposal put forward by the national-conservative Brothers of Italy (FdL) and center-right Forza Italia that would’ve blocked the Senate’s authorization to proceed with the prosecution, failed to reach an absolute majority of 160 votes and was rejected, Il Giornale reports.

“They send me to trial for blocking the landing of 130 immigrants for four days waiting for five European countries to accept redistribution. I have nothing to be ashamed of, on the contrary, I will go to that courtroom claiming what I did. I am proud of what I did as a minister,” Matteo Salvini said on Radio Radio.

Last month, Salvini went so far as to advise his fellow League party members in the Senate to vote in favor of his indictment.

Prior to the yesterday’s vote in the Senate, Salvini took to Twitter, writing:  “If I’ll stand trial, I’ll explain to the judges that I had a duty to defend the Italian citizens, and I will serenely walk into the hearing room representing millions of Italians – for what I did was what they wanted: checking those who come into Italy and those who leave, as I would do in my home. When you do nothing wrong, then there is nothing you should be afraid of.“

A new study showed that an entire 20% of German academics want the right on college and university campuses to reject Israel’s existence as part of free speech.According to the study, which was reported in German media on Tuesday, 27% of professors and lecturers also want to be allowed to reject Islam as part of academic freedom. The think tank of the Christian Democratic Union party, the Kondrad Adenauer Foundation, commissioned the Instituts für Demoskopie Allensbach to survey 1,106 academics about free speech within the university and college setting.

Sigmount Königsberg, the representative to combat antisemitism for Germany’s largest Jewish community in Berlin, tweeted in connection with the study: “And then you wonder that at Humboldt an antisemitic event takes place under the guise of ‘freedom of science.'”The release of the Adenauer study comes amid an alleged antisemitism scandal at the Berlin-based Humboldt University. The president of the university, Dr. Sabine Kunst, permitted an alleged antisemitic professor to deliver a talk on Wednesday. The anti-Israel academic Georg Meggle promotes the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement targeting Israel. Last year, the Bundestag classified BDS as antisemitic.Humboldt students urged the university not to allow the event to take place, classifying it as antisemitic.Kunst declined to issue a statement to The Jerusalem Post. Meggle did not respond to a Post press query.In 2017, a German government study revealed that nearly 33 million Germans, 40% of the population of 82 million, are infected with “contemporary antisemitism” – hatred of the Jewish state.

The report said in a section titled “Agreement to Israel-related antisemitism” that 40% of Germans who were polled showed approval for the following statement: “Based on Israel’s policies, I can understand people having something against the Jews.”

In the late evening hours of the 25th of January 2020 (Saturday) a fire was discovered in the visitors’ toilet of the hospital at the street Bleichstraße 15 in Bochum, which the fire brigade was able to quickly extinguish. No persons were injured by the fire or the smoke emissions.

According to the current state of investigation, three young men entered the hospital via the main entrance at 10.35 pm and shortly afterwards went to the toilet room in the emergency room. While the trio – apparently Mediterraneans, who are between 19 and 25 years of age – were laughing loudly and quickly leaving the hospital through the exit to the street Große-Beck-Straße, the fire in the toilet was discovered at around 10:40 p.m. In the hospital, the three male persons were captured by a surveillance camera. By court order, the photos of the suspects were released for media publication. Witnesses who can provide information about the trio are asked to report to the Bochum fire commissioner’s office (KK 11) by calling 0234 / 909-4106 or to the criminal investigation department by calling 0234 / 909-4441.

Before The Hobbit movies could begin their trek through theaters, Warner Brothers and the Tolkien Estate had to settle their lawsuit over profits from the original movies for an undisclosed sum.

Christopher Tolkien, the now deceased son of the author, stated that the settlement would “allow The Tolkien Trust to properly pursue its charitable objectives.”

The Tolkien Trust was founded by Tolkien’s children in the seventies to use some of the income from the estate of the celebrated philologist and author for charitable works. Two generations later, these works appear to have drifted quite far from anything that the conservative scholar might have wished.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was a staunch Catholic, a monarchist and proudly provincial. The Tolkien Trust funds fairly few Catholic and many international human rights causes. Its English charities would often have been best left unfunded considering the great harm that they do to the ‘shires’ of his land.

In 2018 and 2017, the Tolkien Trust sent a total of 80,000 pounds to Asylum Welcome. AW welcomes “asylum seekers, refugees and detainees” coming to Oxford and Oxfordshire. It boasts of its accomplishments in bringing Sudanese, Somalis, and Syrians to Oxford.

The majority of AW migrants come from Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia and Eritrea.

AW partners with six Oxford and Oxfordshire “community organizations”. Two of them are Syrian, two Somali, and one Sudanese. Its Syrian Resettlement program notes its success in registering Syrian asylum seekers for “benefits”. That, in the name of an author who once raged at government taxation.

Not satisfied with bringing Muslim migrants to Oxford, AW also runs services for detained migrants who are due to be removed and claims to have “played an important part in… facilitating their release”.

Oxford, like many places in the United Kingdom, that have suffered from mass migration from some of these countries, has experienced its own sex grooming ring scandal. More recently, Salman Ahmad, a Muslim refugee, gang raped a woman in Oxford after only being in the country for four months.

The orcs are about in Oxfordshire.

The Tolkien Trust sent 80,000 pounds to RefuAid which funds Syrian migrants in the UK. RefuAid, among other things, urges supporters to lobby MPs to increase local resettlement numbers. 75,000 pounds were sent to Doctors of the World UK which advocates for helping refugees access the NHS. And pumped another 70,000 into the Koestler Trust which aids prisoners and immigration detainees.

60,000 pounds was sent to La Cimade, which aids thousands of migrants entering France. 50,000 was sent to SOS Mediterranee and 10,000 pounds to Pilotes Voluntaires, which help migrants reach Europe.

The Tolkien Trust not only supports hypothetical, but actual Islamic terrorists by dispatching 190,000 pounds in the last two years to Reprieve. The British group boasts of having “led the fight for access to the men held at Guantánamo” and of having “secured freedom for more than 80 men.”

Clive Stafford Smith, Reprieve’s founder, represented among others, Moazzam Begg, who returned to the UK and went on to found CAGE, a pro-terrorist group, and to urge sympathy for Al Qaeda.

CAGE called Jihadi John, the ISIS killer of Britons like David Haines and Alan Henning, a “beautiful man”.

Reprieve is currently working to free Haroon Gul, a senior commander of the Hezb-e Islami Gulbuddin terror group, which has been allied with ISIS, and Towfiq Bihani, a member of an Al Qaeda family who knew the original head of ISIS and threatened beheadings and another 9/11 attack.

In a tragic irony, the Tolkien Trust is using the proceeds from Lord of the Rings to fund modern day orcs.

After September 11, some found inspiration in the invocation of the battle between good and evil of the films. Unbeknownst to them, the films may have ended up funding that very evil we were fighting.

Using the proceeds of Tolkien’s explorations of Middle Earth, the Tolkien Trust is spending a good deal of money on Muslim charities and on organizations doing a great deal of work in the Middle East.

In the last two years, the Tolkien Trust has sent 41,000 pounds to Basmeh and Zeitooneh, a Syrian refugee charity, 60,000 pounds together in the last two years to the Aladdin Project and Association IMAD, two Muslim dialogue organizations in France, and 300,000 pounds to Medecins du Monde and 400,000 to Medecins Sans Frontihres, the original group, for its work in Libya and Yemen.

While J.R.R. Tolkien was conservative, the Tolkien Trust’s spending on matters unrelated to its founder is similar to any other leftist trust. There’s 10,000 pounds for Greenpeace, 50,000 for Peace Brigades International, which has a history of supporting Marxists, and 110,000 pounds for another anti-war group. Considering Tolkien’s views of the Spanish Civil War, he would not have supported PBI.

This obsession with “international relations and peace building” would have been foreign to him.

There’s plenty of money for criminal charities like the Howard League for Penal Reform, the Shannon Trust, the New Bridge Foundation, and the Prison Phoenix Trust. And for homeless charities. Yet for an organization funded by the work of Tolkien, a devout Christian, it’s striking how few Christian organizations are funded by the Trust.

Last week, I wrote of how the Roddenberry Foundation was exploiting the funds of the Star Trek creator to subsidize Islamists and racists who hate this country, its achievements and its ideals. There is a similar tragedy in the work of another fantastic creator being used to fund agendas he would have loathed.

The Trust is funded by some US copyrights of Lord of the Rings, along with assorted other translations and fragmentary works that Tolkien never chose to publish in his lifetime, but that have been used to feed a demand for Lord of the Rings material. No matter how unpublishable it really might be. And, perversely, those who buy books of Tolkien’s philosophical works and letters are funding the Trust.

J.R.R. Tolkien was profoundly suspicious of power, yet his Trust is used to fund the causes of a Sauronesque leftist political movement that believes in total power over all people for their own good.

“I am not a ‘socialist’ in any sense – being adverse to ‘planning’,” Tolkien wrote. “most of all because the ‘planners’, when they acquire power, become so bad—but I would not say we had to suffer the malice of Sharkey and his Ruffians here. Though the spirit of ‘Isengard’, if not of Mordor, is always cropping up.”

His Trust has imbibed the spirit of Isengard enough to embrace socialism and what comes with it.

In the Scouring of the Shire, the final struggle of Lord of the Rings, the hobbits return home to discover a devastated socialist landscape with lists of rules and ‘sharers’ collecting all the food, where the native farmers have been intimidated by “squint-eyed and sallow-faced” robbers acting as tax collectors.

If J.R.R. Tolkien were to return today, he would discover that his own Trust is filling the UK with orcs.

The Berlin-based Humboldt University, which expelled Jewish academics and students during the Nazi-era, is slated on Wednesday to host an event with a pro-BDS academic who critics allege is antisemitic and has helped mainstream the delegitmization of Israel.The Humboldt University media spokesman Hans-Christoph Keller plans to moderate the panel titled “Who is an antisemite – a philosophical clarification of the concept.” The HU’s website lists a notice and registration for the Wednesday event with the anti-Israel academic Georg Meggle.

In response to accusations that Keller and the event with Meggle stoke and tolerate modern antisemitism, Keller told the Post “cleary no.” He added “The allegation of antisemitism is unfounded.”Keller said “It must be within the scope of freedom of education in a democratic society to be possible on the basis of scientific arguments to discuss with each other in a fair balanced manner. Because this is not just the core of the scientific work processes, but also an important societal one and a task of every university.”He refused to say if antisemitism is an opinion when asked.The Post also asked Keller if the HU is violating the mayor of Berlin’s anti-BDS executive order, stating public facilities are banned from providing space to BDS. The HU receives public funds.BDS is an abbreviation for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign targeting the Jewish state.

Dr. Efraim Zuroff, the chief Nazi hunter for the human rights organization the Simon Wiesenthal Center and head of the organization’s Jerusalem office, said: “Why would would a respectable university give a platform  to someone who supports BDS, which is a form of antisemitism, and any such lecture by a spokesman for that cause grants the legitimacy that this movement does not serve.”Zuroff confirmed to the Post that the HU is “making antisemitism politically and socially respectable.”Amid rising antisemitism and violence against Jews in Berlin, the representative to combat antisemitism for Berlin’s Jewish community, Sigmount A. Königsberg, told the Post that in connection with Meggle and the HU event: “The modern hater of Jews no longer says that he is antisemite. Rather, he gives free rein to his antisemitism, in which he calls himself an ‘anti-Zionist’ or ‘critic of Israel,’ but means Jews.”He added that “An anti-Zionist denies the Jewish people what is granted to all other peoples: the right to self-determination. If that’s not antisemitism, then what it?”Alex Feuerherdt, an author of a book on UN-based antisemitism and leading German journalist writing on contemporary Jew-hatred, told the Post that “Georg Meggle has long been known for his negative attitude towards Israel. For example, 15 years ago he organized anti-Zionist lectures in Leipzig, where speakers with antisemitic positions were allowed to speak. “Meggle held an anti-Israel event with two antisemitic activists, one of whom, Hajo Meyer, has termed Israel a “criminal state” and equated the suffering of Palestinians to the persecution and mass murder of Jews during the Holocaust. The Dutch Jewish author Leon de Winter told the Post in 2011 that in Meyer’s book about the “end of Judaism,” an end he favors, he wrote that “the Jews’ ‘otherness,’ like their dietary rules, caused antipathy already thousands of years ago.”De Winter added that “It is a fascinating and frightening way to survive – he is still the Nazi prisoner he once was by completely internalizing the Nazi’s hatred.”The Humboldt University student Henri Armke told the Post that “BDS and other antisemitic movements must not be able to get a place on campus or anywhere else. Therefore, some students will advise how they will react to Meggle’s dangerous propaganda if this event is not canceled. That BDS, the current form of ‘Don’t buy from Jews!’, the Nazi slogan, 75 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, is given a stage, is a shame!”The Post sent a media query to Meggle who also teaches at the Cairo, Egypt branch of Leipzig University.
Dr. Elvira Groezinger, the deputy representative of the Geman branch of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East, appealed to the HU to cancel the event. She said at the HU tomorrow, of all things, the BDS supporter and antisemite Georg Meggle is to discuss the freedom of science. Is this a preparatory event for the dismissal of students and teachers who reject this line?”She added that “We had that before. The university’s namesake turns in his grave! We appeal to the responsible persons to prevent this event in such a public space in accordance with the Bundestag resolution! Antisemitism and agitation against Israel have no place in the academic field.”

German volunteer in the First World War, nationalist enlisted in the far right Freikorps, anticommunist and scholar of the greatest of the medieval German emperors Frederick II of Swabia, the historian Ernst Kantorowicz had no choice but to leave Nazi Germany in the annus horribilis 1939. It was not enough that Nazi minister Goebbels liked his great biography of the emperor. Kantorowicz was Jewish and had to leave. 

He arrived in the United States, where he obtained the chair of medieval history at Berkeley. Ten years later, the university administration forced teachers to take an oath of anti-communism. Kantorowicz refused to sign it despite his famous anti-communism, because he had a horror of any type of intellectual yoke. He was fired and found a job in Princeton thanks to the intercession of the great physicist Robert Oppenheimer.

Seventy years later, Berkeley faces another type of oath called “diversity”, the powerful hegemonic ideology built to enforce all the canons and the trappings of the new anti-racism.

An investigation by Reason, the libertarian magazine, reveals that the University of California has asked potential faculty members to backup claims to support “diversity”. No candidate who fails the test can have his application considered.

A report on the Berkeley Diversity Initiative – released by biologist Jerry Coyne – shows that 8 different departments have used “diversity” to eliminate candidates. A group of 894 candidates was reduced to 214 based solely on how convincing they were in their job application on spreading “diversity”.

In practice, if those who apply for a job do not mention “diversity”, they are automatically rejected, however brilliant their resumes may be. Berkeley rejected 76 percent of the qualified candidates without even considering their skills. These candidates could have been the next Kantorowicz or Oppenheimer. It doesn’t matter, “diversity” above all.

Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Abigail Thompson of the mathematics department at the University of California reported what is happening in Berkeley. She was invited to submit an essay to the “Notices” of the American Mathematical Society, the most widely read math journal. She expressed her opinion that these statements on “diversity” have become a political litmus test. On social media, Thompson’s ideas have been called disgusting, she has been condemned and professors are being urged to remove their students from Thompson’s faculty.

Kantorowicz had seen in Germany what happened when professors swore oaths. And to explain his refusal to sign at the cost of losing his job, the historian said: “There are three professions that have the right to wear a gown. They are the judge, the priest and the professor. This habit attests the wearer’s mental maturity, his independence of judgment and his direct responsibility towards his conscience and his god. These are the last professions that should agree to act under duress”.

There was a time when US faculties of humanities gave birth to many geniuses. Now, it is the time of the “diversity” idiots. This is how universities commit suicide.
