A friend in Frankfurt emailed me the following on July 19.
It is sheer madness what is happening here . . . The noose is tightening and yet—it is still only the beginning . . . What took place in some dull regional express close to Würzburg, a town in Franconia in the middle of Germany, was—in some respect—like a watershed event—just like the mass sexual assaults in Cologne on New Year’s Eve.
The mantra from above is still “Islam belongs to Germany” or “We will make it (in regards to the Refugee Crisis)” but there are fewer and fewer people buying it—which does NOT mean that more people are getting it—but I will come to this later.
We now know that in Cologne alone (!) there were about 1,200 women (in one night) sexually harassed, abused and, in some cases, raped.
At the moment there is no weekend when there aren’t news about some refugees sexually harassing women or girls at a festival (it is festival season).
Also, you can find news about refugees harassing women and children (and sometimes raping them) in public swimming pools on a weekly or even daily basis.
Sales of pepper sprays and guns are booming everywhere. If there were only these things, the rage might be controllable, but Würzburg was of a different quality. For the first time, a refugee didn’t kill another refugee (when this happened before, Neo-Nazis were blamed, then—just as was the case with most of the “burning refugee centers”—the police later found that a refugee was responsible).
When children were robbed by refugees, Germans were told to send their children to school by a different route.
Germans were told to stop swimming nude in a lake—because a refugee center was erected nearby.
Last year, Germans were told the refugees would contribute so mightily and extraordinarily to the German economy—so what have been the news recently?
Well—the big German corporations, the 30 members of the DAX (the stock market index), that so proudly announced last year they would hire lots of refugees—they have indeed hired refugees. Fifty-four, to be exact (50 of them went to the Deutsche Post, as mailmen. Ah—if Charles Bukowski only knew . . . ).
Only recently, a branch of the German Arbeitsagentur (the office for the unemployed) in Dortmund had another success story:
This branch was created last year and staffed with 36 employees (all paid with tax money) with the sole purpose of bringing 2,200 refugees in Dortmund, those who were able to work, into the workforce.
And the news was: After nine months of intensive work the Arbeitsagentur has succeeded to get . . . ten (!) refugees working! Hurrah! Well, they had the decency to add that it’s only a start—but an encouraging one.
The list is endless. . . . but to come back to the incident in Würzburg:
A refugee, supposedly from Afghanistan and 17-years-old, decided to start his own jihad and tried to take out a few infidels. Oddly enough, he started with a family from Hong Kong on the train, whom he attacked with the brave shout “Allah akbar” and a knife and an axe. After severely wounding two of them, he jumped off the train.
(I wonder if this will boost tourism from Hong Kong).
Then he met some old ladies who were walking their little dogs and with the shout “I will kill you, sluts!” he also wounded one (perhaps fatally) before being shot by the police.
Now—as I said, THIS is a new quality.
I can almost feel the anger and rage in Germany getting stronger.
The rage in some refugees is also rising, which is logical.
There are no jobs for them.
There are no houses for them.
There are no women for them.
So—jihad is an option, if you are bored and all these kuffar give you nothing but €352 a month, or less, and you have to sleep with six others in a tightly packed room—and there is just nothing to do!
And you wander around and there are all those women in shorts, etc.—but they are not for you.
No wonder, some get frustrated.
Slowly, silently, the German police admit there might be a teensy-weensy bit of a problem here—mind you, we still don’t know the whereabouts of between 150 to 500 thousand refugees who just disappeared . . .
Nobody knows how many jihadists are here. Nobody. Could be a few dozen. Or hundreds. Or thousands.
This young man on the Würzburg train came last July. He was granted asylum this March. The last two months, he lived with a family. He had a job (or was in training, rather) at a bakery. There were no signs of radicalization. Soooo. . . .
The media is busy telling us: Well . . . he radicalized himself only days before the attack. I wonder if they realize this message is not quite reassuring . . .
So the gap is rising ever more. Everybody has some story to tell:
My brother lives in Munich. Last year, his wife was very pro-refugee. In a neighboring suburb a few weeks ago, a woman heard the doorbell at 10PM. Assuming it was a friend (this is Bavarian bourgeoisie, so they’ve always felt safe, at least until recently . . . ), she opened the door—and was greeted (and then raped) by two refugees. That made my brother’s wife rethink (they have two small children).
My sister in Münster has armed herself with pepper spray.
Colleagues don’t let their children go alone to school anymore, because there are refugees nearby.
A guy in East Germany tells me people are secretly arming themselves.
Hate grows, as does mistrust and anxiety. Some weeks ago in Hanover, a young Muslim girl (15-years-old) rammed a knife into the throat of a female policeman (who was just standing there—the attack came out of nowhere).
Then people hear about public swimming pools, about festivals—they hear about the same things in Sweden—then what happened in France—Nice, or the policeman and his wife who were stabbed to death in Magnanville (while their 3-year-old-son was watching).
The latest incident was a woman in France who got stabbed by a guy from Morocco—they had quarreled because the Moroccan guy thought the woman’s daughters were not properly dressed—so he stabbed her and her three daughters, the youngest only eight-years-old. And so on, and so on . . .
Now—of course, there are also Germans doing nasty things—murdering, raping etc. But these things have a new quality to them.
For many years, the statistics of the German police had shown that migrants are waaaay overrepresented in crime—rapes, robberies, burglaries, violence etc. The rates for migrants were everywhere double or triple those for the general population (and the funny thing is, the gap would have been even wider if Germans with a migrant background—Turks who have German passports, etc.—were included. Of course, this was not done (it would be racist, you know).
And the blame was and is still on the Germans—that they didn’t provide enough opportunities for integration towards the poor Muslim migrants (funnily enough, we don’t have these problems with Vietnamese or Hindu migrants . . . but again, these are racist thoughts . . . ).
So the migrants were and are told that it is the Germans’ fault if they don’t get a job. Some of them believe it. Also, some or even many seem to believe that Germans are a bunch of racist swine.
I once met a Greek woman who complained loudly to me that Germans were so racist. I asked her what her experiences were—and she said that a friend of her had been approached by a German on a train and that he (hacked her to death? No, not quite) had said to her: there are too many of you in Germany.
Wasn’t that racism?
I asked if her children were ever harassed by Turkish children in school (Turks and Greeks don’t get along too well)—yes, of course—Turkish children had harassed and even beaten up her boys.
Now, Linh—the really funny thing was, it didn’t occur to her that this was more racist (that her boys were beaten up by Turks just because they were Greeks) than the incident on the train.
Racism was something only Germans showed.
I heard similar things from others.
So all in all—a perfect example of mind manipulation.
AND this also shows now so brilliantly—because—as I said, the mood gets worse (just on the eve of the next financial crisis—perfect timing)—even in the German leftist newspaper Die Zeit (absolutely pro-refugee) you now find commentaries from people who say that they have just had enough of this lousy leftist whining . . .
Because again, we are told from German politicians about the incident in Würzburg that
This had nothing to do with Islam or the refugee crisis
That the police shouldn’t have killed the poor axe-wielding boy (German police officers are rather reluctant to use their guns, but if someone runs towards them with an axe, I think it is understandable that they shoot)
That the young man radicalized himself just recently—and therefore that
It was no sign of a strengthening of ISIS in Germany, etc.
My father remembers the 70s (I don’t—too young) when 40 members of the Rote Armee Fraktion RAF (the left terror group of Baader Meinhof and the likes) were able to hold German society in fear and sometimes in a state close to hysteria. Now—with . . . 100? 1,000? ISIS members—you can imagine how the mood will change when ISIS does its first crucifixion here . . . ).
All the more, since some gruesome details from the Paris attacks are now leaking out—that the terrorists at the Paris discotheque in November 2015 not only killed the young folks there . . . but they tore off limbs, cut off genitals, stuffed them in the mouths of the men, cut out eyes etc . . . Ah—a holy war excuses everything—even becoming a monster, it seems.
But to come to the point: As I said, Germans are getting more and more fed up with the official litany—BUT: They don’t see the real picture. They still believe that the ones who created this situation will be the ones who will deliver the solution! That is the sad part of it.
All these things will be used as an excuse to install the perfect police state (and it will be perfect). We need to protect you from terrorists—so give us your freedom, open your bank account, let us abolish money and install a digital currency, accept new taxes (and ghettos in your cities). Work harder and for less money, consume and be a good citizen—and most importantly: Have fear! Always have fear!
Now—I don’t want to leave with the impression that all refugees are just no-goods—criminals, murderers etc. They are not. The vast majority are normal people who just want to lead a normal life—and not one that is forced upon them while their countries are demolished, raped and plundered by the West (that is, the US of A).
BUT—they are just tools in a game. Pawns. Just as we are.
And this leads to no good if the circumstances here resemble Iraq’s. Or just Kenya. And that is the direction we are headed. People with totally different cultural and ideological roots from ours will cling with force to what they know. If they are encouraged to do so (and they are). Assimilation is a crime against humanity, as a Turkish politician once said (who recently had a tough time because some of his generals wanted to get rid of him). So they stay with their own folks. No integration. No assimilation. But ghettos—their mindset becomes even more rigid—some of them will start to despise the majority, whom they don’t understand and don’t want to understand—and sometimes they will commit violence against the hated or despised kuffar (who have no decency—no respect, etc.).
I mean—it is funny—in all German travel guides—when it comes to Muslim countries, you find things like: If you are a woman, don’t wear a skirt! Under no circumstances be topless on a beach! Don’t look men in the eye—it is an invitation to sex! Etc. Are the ones who wrote this only hardcore racists? And now hundreds of thousands of people from these countries come here—what do we expect? They mistake our hospitality for weakness. And they (some of them at least) will turn to extremism.
A famous German journalist (one of the old school—Peter Scholl-Latour) once said prophetically: If you let Calcutta come here, you change this to Calcutta.
And he was right. A minority of the refugees consists of terrorists, murderers, rapists, etc. They could only come here because the borders were kept open. Just on the eve of the Greater Depression (with all the distrust between the various groups and subgroups), they will make sure that German citizens will fight among themselves in countless battles and skirmishes.
Germans against migrants, Turks against Kurds, Sunni against Shia, Yazidis against Salafists, etc. The rich will have their gated communities, the rest will have to deal with a much tougher life in ghettos and suburbs. And life will still go on . . . I was once in Nigeria. Though you can make money and do business there, life is not too pleasant for the majority of Nigerians . . .
That is where we are headed. German society will be so fragmented and there will be such turmoil and violence, the majority will accept every solution from above . . .
Still—if in the end it all plays out as planned—I don’t know. There still is something called destiny. And this may be—in the end—the stronger factor. Even against those in the shadows.
In the meantime, we have to carry on with our normal life. And try to stay human. That is a tough thing to do, these days—but it is possible.
And will remain possible.
