Progressives Are Finding It Very Difficult to Destroy National and Ethnic Cultures

Yesterday, we talked about the stupidity of attacking the American flag since it is the symbol of the constitutional system that allows everyone to speak freely, even if their comments are, to put it mildly, dumb. It seems that Colin Kaepernick is angry at American police officers because they sometimes shoot-to-kill assailants. It would be better to run for office, fund organizations that are working to resolve America's remaining racial problems, or even to use one's celebrity to get on TV and start a dialogue. But, sitting out the National Anthem is just not in the cards, and neither is boiling Donald Trump in grease, Don Cheadle -- were you high when you hit your keyboard?? Could be.. The end of yesterday's blog was about how nations that lose the 'glue' of trust that holds them together as functioning small communities in a larger community will crumble into warring factions. Today, let's follow up on that thought. ~~~~~~ Europe is crumbling into warring factions over the issue of migration and refugees. Very few Europeans heartily support German Chancellor Angela Merkel's continuing insistence on bringing in more "refugees" -- many of whom are economic migrants hiding in the midst of real refugees -- from the Middle East, mostly because the cultural clash between the "refugees" and their host European nations is significant and often physical -- a French woman and her two daughters were eating breakfast in a southern French resort town in July when they were stabbed by a Moslem living in Paris, and staying in the same hotel, because they were not dressed modestly enough. A German man was attacked by a Moslem "refugee" for eating a ham sandwich in a cafe. These may seem trivial -- but certainly not to those attacked. ~~~~~~ However, the clash is more fundamental. Gatestone Institute published in early August an article entitled "Germany's Migrant Rape Crisis Spirals out of Control" by Soeren Kern, a Senior Fellow at the New York-based Gatestone Institute and a Senior Fellow for European Politics at the Madrid-based Grupo de Estudios Estratégicos / Strategic Studies Group. You can read the entire article, including a summary of the rapes and attacks in July in Germany at https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/8663/germany-migrants-rape. Kern writes : "Germany's migrant rape crisis has now spread to cities and towns in all 16 of Germany's federal states. Germany now finds itself in a vicious circle: most of the perpetrators are never found, and the few who are frequently receive lenient sentences. Only one in 10 rapes in Germany is reported and just 8% of rape trials result in convictions, according to Minister of Justice Heiko Maas. Up to 90% of the sex crimes committed in Germany in 2014 do not appear in the official statistics, according to André Schulz, the head of the Association of Criminal Police. There are strict instructions from the top not to report offenses committed by refugees. It is extraordinary that certain offenders are deliberately NOT being reported about and the information is being classified as confidential." -- High-ranking police official in Frankfurt, quoted in Bild." Sexual violence in Germany has become an epidemic since Merkel admitted into the country more than one million mostly male migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Merkel now says another 300,000 migrants will enter Germany in 2016. Kern says : "Germany is effectively under siege; public spaces are becoming increasingly perilous. Police have warned about a potential breakdown of public order this summer, when young male migrants are likely to see women lightly dressed. During the month of July 2016, hundreds of German women and children were sexually assaulted by migrants (see Appendix attached to the full article). The youngest victim was nine; the oldest, 79. Attacks occurred at beaches, bike trails, cemeteries, discotheques, grocery stores, music festivals, parking garages, playgrounds, schools, shopping malls, taxis, public transportation (buses, trams, intercity express trains and subways), public parks, public squares, public swimming pools and public restrooms. Predators are lurking everywhere; safety nowhere. Dozens of women and children have been assaulted by migrants at summer festivals and public swimming pools — staples of ordinary German life. In July, at least 24 women were sexually assaulted at the Breminale music festival in Bremen. Women were also assaulted at outdoor festivals....In July, women and children were also sexually assaulted at public swimming pools....Most of the crimes were downplayed by German authorities, [apparently] to avoid fueling anti-immigration sentiment. Almost invariably, the crimes are said to be isolated incidents, not part of a nationwide problem. Information about sexual assaults can usually be found only in local police reports. Rapes are sometimes treated as local interest stories and covered by local or regional newspapers. Only the most spectacular incidents of rape and sexual assault make it into the national press." Kern reports that three rape cases did make it into Germany's national media in July : (1) On July 24, a 40-year-old migrant from Eritrea raped a 79-year-old woman in a cemetery in Ibbenbüren. The woman, who lives in a local nursing home, was visiting the grave of her late sister at 6 a.m. when the attack occurred. The migrant, living as a refugee in Germany since 2013, was arrested at the scene. He is unlikely to be deported, however, because Eritrea is considered a conflict zone. (2) On July 14, it emerged that one of the women raped by Moslem sex mobs in Cologne on New Year's Eve became pregnant. She failed to report the attack to police because she felt ashamed. (3) On July 3, a 24-year-old woman raped by three migrants in Mannheim in January admitted that she lied about the identity of the rapists. Selin Gören, a Turkish-German woman, initially said that her attackers were German nationals, when in fact they were Moslem migrants. In an interview with Der Spiegel, Gören, the spokeswoman of Germany's left-wing youth movement, Solid, said she lied because she was afraid of fueling racism against migrants. She also posted a letter on Facebook to a fictional refugee : "I am really sorry that your sexist and line-crossing treatment of me could help fuel aggressive racism. I am going to scream... I will not stand by and watch, and it can happen that racists and concerned citizens name you as the problem. You are not the problem. You are usually a wonderful human being who deserves as much as any other to be safe and free." This, my friends, is perhaps more excessive than most defenses of migrant attacks on women, but Germany has been brainwashed to believe that migrants must always be protected, apparently even by the women they attack. ~~~~~~ On July 7, according to Kern, the German parliament approved changes to the criminal code that expand the definition of rape and make it easier to deport migrants who commit sex crimes. Under the bill, also known as the "No Means No" ("Nein heißt Nein") law, any form of non-consensual sex will now be punishable as a crime. Previously, only cases in which victims could show that they physically resisted their attackers were punishable under German law. The reforms, which are designed to make it easier for victims of sexual assault to file criminal complaints, are unlikely to end Germany's migrant rape epidemic. This is because Germany's politically correct justice system is notoriously lenient when it comes to prosecuting, sentencing and deporting foreign offenders. On February 25, the newspaper, Die Welt, reported that authorities in the German state of Hesse were suppressing information about migrant-related crimes, ostensibly due to a "lack of public interest." On January 24, Die Welt reported that the suppression of data about migrant criminality is a "Germany-wide phenomenon." According to Rainer Wendt, the head of the German police union, "Every police officer knows he has to meet a particular political expectation. It is better to keep quiet [about migrant crime] because you cannot go wrong." On January 22, the newsmagazine, Focus, reported that the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency put pressure on police in North Rhine-Westphalia to remove a reference to "North African criminal groups" in a press release, to avoid stigmatizing all North African migrants. On January 8, the newspaper, Bild, published an article titled, "Are the Police Being Prohibited from Telling the Truth?" The paper quoted a high-ranking police official in Frankfurt, who said : "There are strict instructions from the top not to report offenses committed by refugees. Only direct requests from media representatives regarding specific crimes should be answered....It is extraordinary that certain offenders are deliberately NOT being reported about and the information is being classified as confidential." Meanwhile, reports Kern, "Boris Palmer, the 'progressive' mayor of Tübingen, thinks he has found a solution to the problem of migrants who are raping German women and children in public swimming pools. He wants migrants to become swimming pool superintendents. In a Facebook post, Palmer wrote : 'Our municipality has embraced a great prevention and integration measure. We have a Syrian lifeguard who can make known in Arabic and with authority what behavior is allowed and what is not.' Palmer's first hire is a 24- year-old Syrian named Aiham Shalghin. In an interview with Schwäbisches Tagblatt, Shalghin portrayed migrants as the victims of their circumstances: "Many male refugees have never before swum with women. In Syria, most public swimming pools are separated by gender. Men do not want to see women in swimming attire." ~~~~~~ Most of us recall the incident in July in which a 17-year-old Afghan asylum seeker brandishing an axe and shouting "Allahu Akbar" seriously injured five people on a train in Würzburg, Bavaria. The assailant was shot dead by police after he charged at them with the axe. The teenager, who had claimed asylum after arriving in Germany in June 2015 as an unaccompanied minor, had been placed with a foster family just two weeks before the attack as a reward for being "well integrated." Shortly after the attack, ISIS released a video purporting to show an Afghan asylum seeker holding a knife and making threats against Germany : "In the name of Allah, I am a soldier of the Caliphate and am launching a martyrdom operation in Germany. Here I am. I have lived among you, lived in your homes. I planned this in your own land. And I will slaughter you in your own homes and in the streets. I will make you forget about the spectacular attacks in France, if Allah permits. I will fight to the death, if Allah permits. I will slaughter you with this knife and sever your necks with an axe, if Allah permits." After the blood-splattered train -- an eyewitness said it "looked like a slaughterhouse" -- came to a stop at a station in Heidingsfeld near Würzburg, the teenager jumped off and tried to escape. Surrounded by police, he lunged at them with an axe. Police shot the attacker dead because "there was no other option." But, much like the woman who refused to condemn her attacker, Green Party MP Renate Künast criticized the police for using lethal force. In a tweet, she wrote: "Why could the attacker not have been incapacitated without killing him???? Questions!" Künast's comments provoked a furious backlash, according to Soeren Kern, with many accusing her of showing more sympathy for the perpetrator than for the victims. The chairman of the German police union, Rainer Wendt, said : "The final rescue shot is clearly regulated by law. The policemen were attacked and used their firearm to defend against an immediate danger to life and limb. That is their statutory duty. The Green MP Renate Künast has absolutely no idea about the reality of dangerous police actions." The head of the police union in Bavaria, Peter Schall, said: "If a police officer is not allowed to shoot in such situations, he might as well stop carrying a weapon." Mike Mohring, a politician with the ruling Christian Democratic Union (CDU), called for stiffer penalties for those who attack police officers. He said attacks against police are on the rise across Germany and "the only effective deterrent is that the law provides an appropriate penalty." Andreas Scheuer, the general secretary of the Christian Social Union, the Bavarian sister party to Chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU, said Künast's comments were "perverse." He added: "The CSU's policy is: protection of victims takes priority over protection of perpetrators." ~~~~~~ Dear readers, the anger voiced against Künast indicates that Germans have had enough of their politically correct politicians. Is Germany losing the 'glue' of trust that holds the nation together? Is Germany crumbling into warring factions? Not yet. But, as in the United States, Progressive German, French, Swedish and other EU politicians who favor world government and open borders are grossly at odds with their citizens. Progressives in Europe and the US have sold a bill of goods to their nations' youngsters in schools that teach that "resistance is not politically correct," that all people of all nations are alike and must live together in harmony. The flaw -- in addition to the fact that this political dogma that tries to erase cultures and make all humans little UN bunnies is simply incorrect -- is that no Progressive schools in Moslem countries are teaching similar dogma. Moslem radicals want to terrorize their way into being the cultural "majority." Europeans are now rebelling against this PC erasure of cultural differences. What Hillary & Hacks, and other Progressives in the US are now calling the "Alt-Right" are for the most part ordinary citizens who want their rights restored, who are sick of PC Progressives telling them how to behave and what to think. The Alternative Right in Europe is very similar to those in the US who support Donald Trump -- the differences stem from the European experience with fascism and the Nazis -- both very far right or left of the democratic ideals of freedom and governance, which has deeply scarred Europeans, making them wary of any "movement," left or right. And, interestingly, in both Europe and America, these ordinary citizens strongly defend their police forces because they see them as their protectors against PC politicians trying to efface their cultural traditions. Colin Kaepernick and Don Cheadle, instead of attacking the flag and whining about Donald Trump, should be waving the flag and thanking Trump for putting out the fire under the cauldrons Progressives are heating up to melt down their culture and destroy their right to be freely who they are.
