Speaking in 2018 to Pontian Greeks living in Toronto about the genocide of their ancestors, former General Frangoulis Frangos of the Greek Military revealed the leading role of the Germans, Stohos reported.

Frangos explained that it was a German military leader who was the instigator of the extermination of Greeks, Armenians and other populations by the “method” of hardship and exhaustion, through death marches.

It was like a test of what the Nazis did a few years later against Jews and others.

The role of a German Colonel was a catalyst.

In his speech, General Frangos said:

“In October 1911 in Thessaloniki, the Young Turks – now the government of the Ottoman Empire – decided at a conference to exterminate non-Muslim nationalities and violent Muslims – of multinational origin,” he said.

In their decision it is precisely stated that:

“Turkey must become an Islamic country, where the religion of Islam and radical Islamic views will prevail and any other different religion will be suppressed. And it is clear that this cannot be done by persuasion. So armed violence must be used. Muslim sovereignty is inevitable and respect for Muslim institutions and traditions alone is due. The right of other nationalities to have their own organisations should be ruled out,” he continued.

“Any form of decentralisation and self-government would be considered treason against the Turkish Empire. The predominance of the Turkish language is one of the main means of maintaining Muslim sovereignty,” the General, who is a fluent speaker of Turkish, said.

Thus began the genocide of the Armenians, the Greeks of Pontus, the Greeks of Asia Minor and Thrace, the Assyrians and all the other Christian populations.

“Inspired by German Colonel Otto Liman von Sanders (1855-1929), who had served as a military adviser, he was promoted to general and became Commander-in-Chief of the Ottoman Empire’s army during World War I and was honoured for his ‘services’ in the sultanate with the title of pasha,” he said.

“Sanders suggested to the Young Turks Nazi-style extermination and assured them that ‘it is necessary for security reasons or to move away the Greeks and other Christian peoples from the coasts’,” Frangos continued. “His proposal was that ‘in the cold of winter, the rains and the high humidity, the sun and the terrible heat of summer, the diseases of rash and cholera, the hardships and starvation, will have the same effect,’ that is, to clear them up with death.”

“With the system I suggest, their death is certain,” Frangos recounted the German saying to the Turks. “But before they die, they will offer us their valuable services to the nation. In addition, their wives will not give birth, and so your demographic problem will be solved, while this hated and dishonourable breed will be wiped out and lost forever in a generation, and you will gain a solid Turkish homogeneity, which will give in your nation a new power.”

The German also said to the Turks, by Frangos’ recounting, “And of course, don’t forget the properties and estates that the Greeks will leave after their loss, which will be transferred to the public, that is, to all of you.”

Frangos then explained that “the Turks recruited the unarmed male population of the Greek Orthodox of Pontus, Asia Minor and Thrace, in addition to the elderly, the very sick, and young children, sent them to labor camps scattered throughout the country, in areas far from their homes. There they were forced to break stones 12 hours a day, build military roads, eat what was left of the animals and sleep in the countryside.”

“In July 1921, in the regions of Trapenzounta, Sourmenon, Rizountos, they displaced the entire male population aged 15-60. In the process, they slaughtered most of them, and the rest died of hardship and torture,” the former General said, adding that “in Kerasounta, out of 14,000, only 4,000 women and children were saved. In Oinoi, Osman Pasha did as much as Enver Pasha in Kerasounta. In Samsun, all Greeks were in death marches.”

“From 1914 to 1924 353,000 Greeks of Pontus were killed and if we add the more than 700,000 Greeks of Ionia-Thrace who were killed by the Turkish army, we reach the number of 1,050,000. The atrocities of the Turks are innumerable, especially in the years 1921-1922, and are proof of Kemal’s genocidal program,” he said.

In Vienna, a letter from the municipal department 10 causes a stir. According to the municipality, this letter was made available to all funded private supporting organisations to inform them about the current care options during the Corona crisis. Freedom Party education spokesman Krauss sees an outspoken Islamisation being realised.

The first question was to whom the letter dated May 9 was addressed. The municipal department for migrants quickly answered this question: “The municipality of Vienna – kindergartens do not maintain a database on the origin and language of the parents and do not send multilingual information in a standardised way”. Rather, information is sent to the supporting organisations in German, English, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Turkish and Arabic, “with the aim of being able to pass on this information to the target groups.

In fact, the official language in Austria is German. If one demands of people who have not lived here long enough to integrate, the language will be a central part of it. Critics see foreign-language official letters not as a service effort but as submission to foreign languages and customs through self-abandonment. For Freedom Party education spokesman City Councillor Maximilian Krauss, the letter is evidence of the outspoken Islamisation at Vienna’s kindergartens. “If the city now has to translate official letters to parents into Arabic, it shows that there is often no willingness to integrate at all.”

It is a mystery of the collective psyche. There must be an inner mechanism underlying the political ruling class. Otherwise, what is the possible explanation behind the Western European disaster n ithe management of Covid-19, expecially if you compare their experience with Eastern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Israel and other Western countries?

France, Spain, Belgium and UK had the catastrophic Italian example in front of their eyes.

Still, French President Emmanuel Macron went to the theater to see “Par le bout du Nez”. It looked like a chapter in Manuel Chaves Nogales’ book, “The Agony of France”, where he says that while German soldiers marched through the streets of Paris, the French swarmed outside the cinemas, “in time for the aperitif in the bistro”.

In the meantime, the Spanish authorities invited citizens to walk down the streets, to crowd themselves in a march for Women’s Day and the epidemiologist Fernando Simón, in a press conference, declared: “If my son asked me if he can go, I would tell him to do what wants”.

On March 8, while 366 people had already died from the virus in Italy, in Belgium Prime Minister Sophie Wilmès saw no problems in that masses of citizens poured into the Salon Batibouw (real estate fair), the Foire du Livre (book fair) and of course, for Women’s Day. Belgium would soon have broken every per capita death record in Europe.

Keep calm and carry on was no better in England. Boris Johnson in those days shook hands  like a rock star and liquidated the impending danger by wishing for “herd immunity”. Soon he would need “liters and liters of oxygen”.

Sweden did nothing, thereby allowing old people to die.

The shortage of tests and masks has been camouflaged by Europe under the pretext of their supposed uselessness.

It seems that the European state on both national and central levels has shown a rare carelessness. An explosive mixture of bureaucracy, lethargy and casualness. A state which, for years, no longer believed in itself but in “Europe” or in the market.

It is the spectacle of Western Europe’s omnipotent impotence that we have unfolding before our eyes.

Please applaud for our heroes.

Shut down most medical procedures. Banish coronavirus patients to nursing homes leading to thousands of deaths. Close down the economy. Watch 1.4 million health care workers lose their jobs. And then hypocritically applaud our heroes some more.

Dayna James has been an emergency nurse for 17 years — and thought the COVID-19 pandemic would mean she’d have more work than ever.

Instead, she’s filing for unemployment benefits, an ironic twist of fate shared by 1.4 million of America’s 18 million health care personnel who have lost their jobs since March — including 135,000 hospital workers.

It’s not ‘ironic’.

Setting a hospital on fire while proclaiming its importance is not ironic. It’s evil.

The 40-year-old mother of four lost a two day a week teaching job at a university hospital in March, and is barely getting any work at the children’s hospital in Miami where she was previously a regularly contracted nurse.

Clap for our heroes some more. And the politicians who deemed non-coronavirus medicine non-essential. And the media which backed them up.

The American Hospital Association has estimated that losses across the sector for the March-June period will be $200 billion.

Dentists’ offices have lost 500,000 jobs in one month, according to official statistics. Optometrists and physiotherapists have been similarly affected.

But wait, there’s an endgame. Since it’s the media, can you guess what it is?

Since there is no single-payer public authority that mediates and caps prices, costs depend on negotiations between hospitals and insurers and have been rising for decades.

If only we had socialized medicine, we’d have even far more lost jobs and worse medical care. But think of this as a dry run.

The Saint Catherine Church in the small town of Moria on Lesvos, is now being used as a bathroom.

A local in Moria described the scene.

“The smell inside is unbearable,” said Makis Pavlellis, a butcher. “Discussing with people about the Church, we learned that the metropolitan of Mytilene is aware of the situation in the area nevertheless he does not wish to deal with it for his own reasons.”

Only earlier this month Greek City Times reported that the Saint Catherine church in Moria was already trashed by illegal immigrants.

This is only the latest incident and rather it has become extremely common for Greek Orthodox Churches to be vandalised and attacked by illegal immigrants on Lesvos.

Last month, the main entrance to the Saint Raphael church close to the Moria migrant camp was attacked too, as reported by Greek City Times.

This latest incident on Lesvos follows other recent shocking events, including two gangs of Afghani immigrants battling each other, African immigrants ridiculing and coughing on police in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, and thousands of olives trees being destroyed.

About half of the 50,000 illegal immigrants on Lesvos are kept at the Moria camp that is supposed to host only 3,000 people. A rise in criminality has hit the island since the migrant crisis began in 2015 when Turkey allowed hundreds of thousands of people to leave and enter Greece illegally, whether via land or sea.

Lesvos, as an island of only 90,000 citizens, has been one of the most hardest hit areas of Greece.

As a deeply religious society, these attacks on churches are shocking to the Greek people and calls to question whether these illegal immigrants seeking a new life in Europe are willing to integrate and conform to the norms and values of their new countries.

These continued attacks has ultimately seen the people of Lesvos, who were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2016, become increasingly frustrated by the unresolved situation that has restricted and changed their lives as they no longer feel safe on their once near crime-free island.

Meanwhile, Hungary has contributed $30,000 to assist in the restoration of Lesvian churches destroyed by illegal immigrants, as reported by Greek City Times.

Horrible scenes unfolded during the night in Cottbus. An Afghan man (32 years old) killed his wife (28 years old) in the middle of the street. Witnesses had observed how the man “used massive violence” on the mother of his three children.The crime took place last Sunday night on a sidewalk in the middle of a housing estate. At 7:30 pm eyewitnesses called the police. They are said to have observed how the 32-year-old “used massive violence” on his wife, who is also from Afghanistan.A horrible suspicion: did the Afghan kill his wife with his bare hands? When asked about the murder weapon, the police remained silent for the time being. Whether a knife was involved, one could not yet say.For the mother of three children any rescue came too late. She died at the scene. The children aged 3, 6 and 10 years are now in the custody of the youth welfare office.

Germany’s Constitutional Court has issued an unprecedented ruling that directly challenges the authority of both the European Central Bank and the European Court of Justice.

The seemingly obscure ruling, which seeks to reassert national sovereignty over bond purchases by the European Central Bank, has called into question the legitimacy of the EU’s supranational legal and political order.

The European Union is now engaged in a power struggle with its largest member state, Germany. The legal feud threatens to unravel not only Europe’s single currency, the euro, but the EU itself.

On May 5, the German Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht, BVerfG) ruled that the European Central Bank’s practice of buying vast amounts of government bonds, a monetary policy known as quantitative easing, is illegal under German law as neither the German government nor the German parliament signs off on the purchases.

The European Central Bank has purchased government debt worth €2.7 trillion ($3.2 trillion) since March 2015, when, in an effort to stabilize the eurozone during the European sovereign debt crisis, it launched its flagship stimulus program, the so-called Public Sector Purchase Program.

The European Central Bank argues that large-scale purchases of government bonds are a monetary stimulus needed to reinvigorate the eurozone economy. Critics counter that the bond purchases have flooded markets with cheap money and encouraged over-spending by governments, especially in debt-ridden Southern Europe.

In a 110-page ruling, the German court said that the European Central Bank had not only failed to justify the massive bond purchases, but also that those purchases did not meet the “principle of proportionality,” as required by Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union.

The proportionality principle, which stipulates that an EU action must be limited to what is necessary to achieve an objective, regulates the exercise of the powers conferred by the member states to the EU.

In its ruling, the German court ordered the German Central Bank to stop participating in the bond-purchasing program unless the European Central Bank proves, within three months, the “proportionality” of its actions. Without German participation, the program could be terminated.

The German court also accused the Court of Justice of the European Union of “exceeding its judicial mandate.” In December 2018, the European court ruled in favor of the European Central Bank’s bond-purchasing program. The German court said that the European court’s ruling was ultra vires (beyond its authority) and therefore not binding. The German court’s ruling poses an unprecedented challenge to Court of Justice, the top EU court in matters of European Union law.

By design or default, the German court’s ruling, delivered at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, has created extraordinary financial, legal and political uncertainty at a time that Europe is already experiencing an economic shock without precedent.

Italy and Spain, the eurozone countries most impacted by the pandemic, are also the most dependent on support from the European Central Bank, which recently committed to purchasing an additional €750 billion in bonds. Economists warn that if the European Central Bank were to stop purchasing government bonds, the ensuing loss of liquidity could push Italy and Spain into default and lead to the unravelling of the eurozone.

The German court’s ruling marks a new phase in the debate over the balance between national and supranational sovereignty. Considering what is at stake, EU officials have pushed back hard. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that Germany has no legal right to challenge the EU and threatened a lawsuit:

“The recent ruling of the German Constitutional Court put under the spotlight two issues of the European Union: The Euro system and the European legal system.

“The European Commission upholds three basic principles: that the Union’s monetary policy is a matter of exclusive competence; that EU law has primacy over national law and that rulings of the European Court of Justice are binding on all national courts.

“The final word on EU law is always spoken in Luxembourg. Nowhere else.

“The European Commission’s task is to safeguard the proper functioning of the Euro system and the Union’s legal system.”

European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde echoed that she was undeterred by the German court:

“We are an independent institution, accountable to the European Parliament, driven by mandate. We’ll continue to do whatever is needed… to deliver on that mandate. Undeterred, we will continue doing so.”

In a press release, the European Court of Justice insisted that Germany has no jurisdiction:

“In general, it is recalled that the Court of Justice has consistently held that a judgment in which the Court gives a preliminary ruling is binding on the national court for the purposes of the decision to be given in the main proceedings. In order to ensure that EU law is applied uniformly, the Court of Justice alone — which was created for that purpose by the Member States — has jurisdiction to rule that an act of an EU institution is contrary to EU law. Divergences between courts of the Member States as to the validity of such acts would indeed be liable to place in jeopardy the unity of the EU legal order and to detract from legal certainty. Like other authorities of the Member States, national courts are required to ensure that EU law takes full effect. That is the only way of ensuring the equality of Member States in the Union they created.”

In an interview with the German newspaper, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, a member of the German Constitutional Court, Judge Peter Michael Huber, who helped write the ruling, responded:

“What amazes me is the one-sidedness and the zealous tone that is struck by some here. It is clear that the European Court of Justice has been claiming an unlimited precedence for European law for 50 years, but almost all national constitutional and supreme courts have objected to this for just as long. As long as we don’t live in a European superstate, a country’s membership is governed by its constitutional law.”

Huber warned that the European Commission’s threat of legal action would backfire:

“An infringement procedure [legal action] would trigger a significant escalation, which could plunge Germany and other member states into a constitutional conflict that would be difficult to resolve. In the long term, this would weaken or endanger the European Union.”

In an interview with Süddeutsche Zeitung, Huber added:

“From the point of view of the European Commission President von der Leyen, European law always applies without any restrictions. That is wrong. Other EU member states also assume that national constitutions take precedence over European law.

“The message to the ECB is actually homeopathic. It shouldn’t see itself as the ‘Master of the Universe.’ An institution like the European Central Bank, which is only thinly legitimized democratically, is only acceptable if it strictly adheres to the responsibilities assigned to it.”

Friedrich Merz, a member of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative Christian Democrats who is vying to succeed her as chancellor, said that the German court’s ruling will have far-reaching consequences:

“This judgment will make European legal history. It must be a special task of German economic policy in the future to point out the negative consequences of the European Central Bank’s purchase programs.”

The pro-EU columnist Martin Wolf, writing for the Financial Times, noted:

“In the absence of other eurozone support programs, the chance of defaults has jumped. Indeed, spreads on Italian government bonds have duly risen a little since the court’s announcement. A crisis might ultimately ensue, with devastating effects; perhaps even a break-up of the eurozone.

“Others might follow Germany in rejecting the jurisdiction of the ECJ and EU. Hungary and Poland are obvious candidates. Future historians may mark this as the decisive turning point in Europe’s history, towards disintegration….

“One point is clear: The constitutional court has decreed that Germany, too, can take back control. As a result, it has created a possibly insoluble crisis.”

Writing for the influential German blog Tichys Einblick, Klaus-Peter Willsch, a member of the German parliament, wrote that the ruling demolished the absolutist claims to power of the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the European Court of Justice:

“One thing should never be forgotten: Europe is not a federal state, but a legal community developed from the founding core of an economic community in clearly limited areas of national sovereignty. Any sovereignty of the European Union is only derived from the sovereignty of the constituent member states. That is why Article 5 (2) of the Treaty on European Union states:

‘Under the principle of conferral, the Union shall act only within the limits of the competences conferred upon it by the Member States in the Treaties to attain the objectives set out therein. Competences not conferred upon the Union in the Treaties remain with the Member States.’

“I therefore think that criticism of the decision of the top German judges is not only inappropriate, but also completely unfounded.

“Last week, our constitutional court defended the interests of German citizens. It reminded the European Central Bank and the European Court of Justice of the limits of the applicable law. Now it is up to us in politics gratefully to accept and implement the decision of the Federal Constitutional Court instead of disparaging our constitutional judges as enemies of Europe! The German constitutional state lives and it protects its citizens! We should all be happy about that!”

Dutch State Secretary Ankie Broekers-Knol announced the annual crime data to the House of Representatives, and to no one’s surprise, asylum-seekers were revealed to be massively involved in crime.

In the past year they were more often involved in nefarious activities than the previous year. The increase in 2019 compared with 2018 is no less than 27 percent, Broekers-Knol told the Tweede Kamer.

Within AZCs [asylum reception centers], more than 17 000 crimes were committed, and almost 5 000 outside AZCs, according to Dutch daily, De Dagelijkse Standaard. This not only concerns thefts and burglaries, but also several dozen sexual crimes and two murders.

These numbers are worrisome, given that the total number of asylum-seekers has declined in the past few years. The current cabinet has thus been failing miserably with its policy of asylum and migration.

The VVD has been maintaining for years that they favor a strict quick-response policy, but in fact law enforcement never dare to follow through, unfortunately. Incidents have allegedly been recorded more accurately, they maintain.

The Cabinet is commissioning additional research into the increases in the number of incidents to obtain a “scientific” explanation since a number of reception locations have been closed, resulting in an increase in the occupancy rate at those locations.

The crime data among asylum-seekers are increasing because more and more asylum-seekers come to the Netherlands who have really no chance of gaining asylum since they come from “safe countries” like Morocco, Algeria and Nigeria. Within the walls of shelters crimes are often about “aggression and violence” against persons. And in almost a third of the cases reported, it concerns persons from these countries.

State Secretary Broekers-Knol has promised that she will be taking hard measures. She said that a special reception location for such migrants will be opened in Hoogeveen where they are no longer allowed to leave the site without permission. However, there is limited space for only 50 people.

Theo Hiddema is a Dutch lawyer and a member of the Tweede Kamer for Thierry Baudet’s party Forum for Democracy. Hiddema has outlined the solution to the problem of migrant crime in the Netherlands.

“It won’t end until I’ve taken [State Secretary for Security and Justice] Broekers-Knol’s position. There’s no hope for her,” Hiddema told Dutch public media.

He said the Rutte administration offered no solutions.”It’s the same pattern over and over again. Somebody is accepted as a refugee, even though his first contact with the authorities […] indicates we’re dealing with an antisocial personality.

“That goes for all those ‘confused types’ who were accepted as refugees. They’re antisocial personalities. They don’t have a solid refugee story. They’re just here to check out how society here works… and leech off it. That’s it. And such people, as soon as they violate the law, you have to lock them up immediately.”

He said all criminal asylum seekers should be forced to seek self-deportation by means of detention. “It’s really simple: you have to put them in ‘temporary detention’. And then wait for them to say: ‘I want to go back to my country’.

“Because if they want to return, there’s no problem whatsoever. That goes for Morocco too, for Algeria. Sudan won’t be any different; it’ll be a bit easier, I think.”

Hiddema explained that the asylum seeker who is locked up in detention will rather take the initiative and leave. “Will I stay under lock and key, or do I go out the door?”

He said such people would choose to leave of their own free will. “Even though they’re involved in a criminal case, if they say they want to leave, there’s no problem, because you suspend the temporary detention, and you retract the subpoena or declaration of prosecution. That’s it.”

He explained the process: “Then there’s no criminal case and he can board the plane just like that. But you have to detain them after they committed a crime for which temporary detention can be imposed. Simply because of the likelihood of a repeat offense. And a flight risk!”
