Germany In Shock After "Monstrous" Attacks, Rape By 1,000 Men "Of Arab Or North African Origin"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Yesterday, we were shocked to learn that as German anger boils over at the country's unprecedented refugee wave, one or more so far unknown assailants fired shots through the window at a home for asylum seekers in western Germany injuring one resident as he was sleeping. As AP noted it wasn't immediately clear who was responsible for the incident or what the motive was. However, Darmstadt prosecutors' spokeswoman Nina Reininger told news agency dpa: "If someone shoots at housing which has people inside, I assume that it is a targeted attack."

Today, we are just as shocked to read that, even as we expected, the animosities between the two groups have dramatically escalated, and that the mayor of Cologne has summoned police for crisis talks after nearly 100 women reported they were robbed, threatened or sexually molested at the New Year's celebrations outside the city's cathedral by young, mostly drunk, men, police said on Tuesday. One woman said she was raped.

According to BBC, "the scale of the attacks on women at the city's central railway station has shocked Germany." About 1,000 drunk and aggressive young men were involved.

The initial shock will quickly transform to furious anger, because more important in this specific case was the origin of the 1,000 drunk assailants, who split into groups, and attacked women in the square. Citing the police chief Wolfgang Albers, BBC notes that the men were of "Arab or North African region", adding that they were mostly between 18 and 35 years old. He added that the attack was a "completely new dimension of crime".

BBC adds that what is particularly disturbing is that the attacks appear to have been organised. Around 1,000 young men arrived in large groups, seemingly with the specific intention of carrying out attacks on women.

Fearing a public backlash, Cologne mayor Henriette Reker said there was no reason to believe that people involved in the attacks were refugees. Nonetheless, after a crisis meeting, she admitted the attacks were "monstrous" adding that "we cannot allow this to become a lawless area."

This, of course, puts her in a very precarious position if it is found that the attackers were indeed refugees.

Reker was stabbed in the neck and seriously hurt in October, just a day before she was elected mayor. Police said that attack appeared to be motivated by her support for refugees.

Cologne Mayor Henriette Reker and President of the Cologne Police Wolfgang
Albers (R) hold a news confernece in Cologne, Germany, January 5, 2016.

Integration commissioner Aydan Ozoguz, a self-proclaimed Muslim, likewise warned against refugees and foreigners being put under "blanket suspicion".

At this point it is too late for damage control, however, as this has become a case of guilty until proven innocent, especially since politicians involuntarily may be stirring the pot: "We will not accept the disgusting attacks on women. All perpetrators must be held to account," said Justice Minister Heiko Maas, a Social Democrat, in a tweet.

As Reuters adds, the attack has stirred "strong emotions in Germany where Chancellor Angela Merkel has welcomed people fleeing war zones in the Middle East and Africa."

The political reaction was immediate: the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD), which has gained in polls in part at Merkel's expense thanks to a campaign against refugees, said she should close the border.

"Mrs Merkel, is Germany 'colourful and cosmopolitan' enough for you after the wave of crimes and sexual attacks?" tweeted AfD chief Frauke Petry.

Meanwhile, Germany's embattled prime minister urged people to respect strangers. Merkel said that "We .. respect everyone, even if we don't know them," she said. "That is the case not only for Germans, but for everyone."

A police vehicle patrols at the main square and in front of the central railway
station in Cologne, Germany, January 5, 2016.

Unfortunately for Merkel, it is now too late to contain the incipient, and increasingly more violent - and soon, lethal - conflict between growing sections of the local population and the country's refugees wave, because as Reuters further adds, and as we have noted repeatedly, there are almost daily attacks on refugee shelters.

"Events like that in Cologne foster xenophobia," Roland Schaefer, head of Germany's association of towns and localities, told reporters. Yes they do, and it was very obvious to everyone long before the recent break out of violence that when mixing two combustible cultures, these would be precisely the results.

Unless, of course, outcomes such as these were precisely what the otherwise very perceptive Merkel had in mind all along. Recall AIG's answer to "what Europe wants" back in May 2008:

To use global issues as excuses to extend its power:

  • environmental issues: increase control over member countries; advance idea of global governance
  • terrorism: use excuse for greater control over police and judicial issues; increase extent of surveillance
  • global financial crisis: kill two birds (free market; Anglo-Saxon economies) with one stone (Europe-wide regulator; attempts at global financial governance)
  • EMU: create a crisis to force introduction of “European economic government”

As for the "monstrous" attack in Cologne, the local news website Koelner Stadt-Anzeiger says the suspects were already known to police because of frequent pickpocketing in and around Cologne central station. Police are trying to find out whether the men who targeted women on Thursday night, surrounding, molesting and robbing them, organized their assaults through social media. They are also studying mobile phone and CCTV surveillance videos.

For now, the local police are searching for the 1,000 assailants. The will be found, and if confirmed that the "monstrous" attackers were indeed recent refugees, the dramatically escalating conflict within German society is about to take a quantum jump into ever greater violence.

I wasn't sure and I didn't realize ZH was a court of law, but since Google doesn't work for you, here: http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_stgb/englisch_stgb.html. Just to be clear, and not face a charge of contempt of ZeroHedge I looked up section 177 - Sexual assault by use of force or threats; rape. They are not the same but depending on circumstances can carry the same sentences (rape and group sexual assaults). 

Now that we've cleared that up, I'm glad you came around and managed to grasp the seriousness of this incident despite the possible inaccuracy of the story's title. Perhaps if a woman from your own family had been involved in one of the rapes or sexual assaults your concern for them would match your concern for "ethnic hate" which has yet to really manifest itself. Well there was that one mosque that burned down in the US, but since it was the imam that started it for insurance fraud it doesn't really count. 

BTW most of what you see as hate is many of us rejecting a violent political ideology masquerading as religion (not ethnicity).

I'm still not sure what you're trying to litigate on Zerohedge and I'm sure that technicality would comfort you as you tried to make your way through scores of malevolent men shouting, grabbing, and possibly, but maybe not penetrating you (if you're one of the "lucky" ones).

These guys should be sent to US College campuses so the progressive geniuses can sort out the sexual aggression issue vs the cultural relativism issue.  No doubt the solution would be to put all the women in Burkhas so the guests would not have to endure the micro aggression of the female form.

U.S. judge orders deposition of Cosby's wife kept under seal

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-people-cosby-idUSKBN0UJ1FP20160105

 

A U.S. magistrate judge has ordered that a deposition of Bill Cosby's wife in connection with sexual assault allegations against the comedian should be kept under seal.

The order, entered by Magistrate Judge David Hennessy late on Monday in U.S. District Court in Springfield, Massachusetts, follows a request by Cosby family attorneys to delay the interview of Camille Cosby, the entertainer's spouse of almost 52 years and business manager. She is scheduled to be deposed on Wednesday.

The Massachusetts civil suit is one of a series of legal actions Cosby, 78, is facing over claims by more than 50 women that the actor sexually assaulted them after plying them with drugs and alcohol, in alleged instances that played out over decades.

Cosby's lawyers had argued that the intimate nature of the questions Camille Cosby could face in the deposition could cause her embarrassment if they were released publicly.

People magazine on Tuesday reported that Camille remained firm in her support of her husband, citing an unnamed source the magazine said was close to the family.

"They remain steadfast and resolute about working through this together," People quoted the source as saying.

         

A spokesman for Cosby did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report.

Bill Cosby Donated To The Clinton Foundation. Will The Charity Return The Money?

http://dailycaller.com/2015/12/30/bill-cosby-donated-to-the-clinton-foun...

 

Numerous organizations had disassociated themselves from Bill Cosby even before the comedian was charged with a crime for any of the alleged sexual assaults he committed over the years. Colleges and universities have scrubbed the formerly-beloved TV dad’s name from their buildings. Others have rescinded honorary degrees given to Cosby and more have returned donations he has provided.

But one organization that has yet to make a move regarding Cosby is the Clinton Foundation.

As was reported earlier this year, the “Cosby Show” creator gave between $1,001 and $5,000 to the non-profit organization operated by former president Bill Clinton and his wife, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Even as dozens of women came forward to accuse Cosby of sexually assaulting them over the past several decades, the charity declined to relinquish the Cosby cash. And in a particularly awkward interview in July, Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri hemmed and hawed when asked whether the Foundation would return the money.

I've never heard of a judge ordering a spouse to violate the marital privilege though I've never researched it.  It is Bill Cosby's privilege to waive.  These judges now have no limitations on themselves, particularly federal judges.

This entire period of chaos has undoubtedly been in the planning for decades. Merkel is just a disposable pawn and quite agreeable to the agenda. The specific incident strikes me as a well coordinated one. Who benefits? 

The Bankers get to blame financial chaos on the disruptions in society. The security state gets called in to better protect the people who long ago knew how to do it but didn't want to seem selfish. When production grinds to a halt, the wealthy will purchase at fire sale prices. Nothing like a little death and destruction to bring down the population of the no longer useful sheep.

The EU will start claiming they need to band together tighter and give up more national sovereignty to fix the problem.   Oh, wait, what was that last month about a combined force to protect the EU borders?

Twas ever thus.
