“The current Social Democratic Party (SPD) leadership is apparently partly under the control of fundamentalist Muslims,” says former Finance Senator and author Thilo Sarrazin. This group within the SPD, which wants to get rid of Sarrazin, seems to want to prevent a critical discussion about Islam in Germany.The SPD is trying to expell its member – former Berlin Finance Senator and successful author Thilo Sarrazin – from the political party by all means. 
On Thursday, the SPD state arbitration commission decided to allow Sarrazin to be expelled from the party on the grounds that he had acted in a manner that was damaging to the party. In particular, his book “Hostile Takeover: How Islam hinders progress and threatens society”, published in 2018, does not fit the comrades in. Sarrazin reveals to the magazine Tichy’s Einblick an equally plausible and frightening reason for the attempts of his party to get rid of him: The Social Democratic Party (SPD) would never have come up with the idea of expelling someone from the party in the 70s, 80s, 90s or even early 2000s because of a book that was critical of religion. “On the contrary,” Sarrazin emphasizes, referring to the saying of the left-wing pioneer Karl Marx, “Religion is opium for the people”, the SPD was a party critical of religion because of its Marxist roots. “I would certainly not have been expelled from the SPD if I had written a critical book not about Islam but about the Catholic Church,” the book author continues, noting that “quite different things are going on here: The current SPD leadership is obviously partly in the hands of fundamentally oriented Muslims who want to prevent a critical discussion of Islam in Germany on principle”.

Here’s the latest bulletin from the Ministry of Information, courtesy of the Emerson Collective, a lefty venture funded by Steve Jobs’ widow, who also controls The Atlantic.

Somehow this led to this incoherent gibberish from Hillary Clinton overlaid with endless special pleading commentary from The Atlantic’s Adrienne LaFrance. 

There was the time, last spring, when a slowed-down video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi caught fire online. The distorted speed, which made Pelosi appear as though she was slurring her words, seemed designed to make her appear cognitively impaired. “Google took it off YouTube … so I contacted Facebook,” Clinton said. “I said, Why are you guys keeping this up? This is blatantly false. Your competitors have taken it down. And their response was, We think our users can make up their own minds.”

Listening to Clinton, I was struck by how remarkably similar her account was to something Zuckerberg had once told me. Facts, Zuckerberg had suggested, are best derived from foraging many opinions, ideally from the billions of humans who use his publishing platform, so that each individual might cherry-pick what to believe. (Cherry-pick is my word, not his.) If journalism’s mantra is “Seek truth and report it,” Facebook’s might be “Seek opinions and react to them.

1. There are a billion “Drunk Trump” videos and other drunk politicians videos. Nobody takes them seriously.

2. The Emerson Collective, LaFrance and LaHillary are taking the fundamental basis of a liberal society which is a free exchange and dissemination of ideas, even stupid and bad ones, while pretending that they’re agitating for an open society.

3. If Zuckerberg is, as they insist, evil. Why do they want him deciding what can appear on Facebook?

And here we get to the real rotten meat of it.

I wrote at the time that Zuckerberg’s interpretation was unsatisfying for one thing, and Trumpian for another. When I asked Clinton today whether she too sees a Trumpian quality in Zuckerberg’s reasoning, she nodded. “It’s Trumpian,” she said. “It’s authoritarian.” 

Trumpian?

Free speech is now both authoritarian and Trumpian? The idea that people should be able to make up their own minds instead of being told what to think is authoritarian?

It’s the opposite of authoritarian.

The only way to insist otherwise is to take the Ministry of Information approach, to argue that slavery is freedom, freedom is slavery, and that free speech is authoritarian and that authoritarianism is freedom.

There’s good reason to believe, Clinton said, that Facebook is “not just going to reelect Trump, but intend[s] to reelect Trump.”

That’s the opposite of Facebook’s politics, but truth is the first casualty of Clintonism.

The endgame remains pressuring all social media, especially Facebook, to suppress conservative views.

A “well socially integrated” Syrian, engaged in politics and the fire brigade, climbs through a window at night and massacres an Iraqi hairdresser with a long Salafist beard with a knife. Jealousy is suspected as a motive. Because the wife of the alleged murderer did not want to integrate herself socially.Did she end up having an affair with the sinister-looking man with the long beard? Now Almahdi A. is in remand because of what the Bild newspaper calls “the gruesome, mysterious bloody deed in Ibbenbüren”. After the insidious murder, Almahdi is said to have set fires to cover his traces. On a Sunday morning, the Syrian from Tecklenburg allegedly attacked and stabbed the 31-year-old Iraqi hairdresser Shahram K. while the latter was sleeping. Why his wife Tarsche (36 years old), ten years older than him, separated from Almahdi and turned to the more mature barber with the large beard,the newspaper Bild has a possible explanation:”Almahdi A. was considered a poster child for refugees. He came to Germany three years ago with his wife Tarsche (36 years old) and daughter (6 years old), learned the German language quickly, trained as a salesman, got involved in politics and the fire brigade.”He was eager to integrate into the community and did everything possible to do so,” explains an acquaintance of the Bild newspaper. At the same time, a neighbour confirms that the woman did not want to go along with him. She allegedly didn’t want to work or attend German language courses. Almahdi obviously could not understand this. It came to an argument. The couple is said to have separated in autumn 2019. At some point he moved into his own small apartment near his wife and daughter. Two weeks ago, the couple is said to have moved in together again because of the daughter and for financial reasons. A little later the bloody deed happened. Witnesses had seen Almahdi arguing with his alleged rival. According to the prosecutor, the accused remains silent about the crime and motive.
