Thousands Flood The Streets In Germany As Fury Over Refugee Sex Assaults Reaches Boiling Point

Update: the water cannons are out as is the tear gas:

Full story:

 

Over the last several days, more information has come to light with regard to the wave of sexual assaults that occurred across Europe on New Year’s Eve.

What some observers initially assumed was an set of isolated attacks in Cologne’s city center now appears to have been a bloc-wide phenomenon as women from Austria, to Switzerland, to Finland come forward to report being accosted by what some police say were gangs of drunken Mid-East asylum seekers.

“In Sweden, police said at least 15 young women reported being groped by groups of men on New Year's Eve in the city of Kalmar,” AP reports, adding that “in Finland, police said they received tipoffs on New Year's Eve that about 1,000 predominantly Iraqi asylum seekers were intending to gather near the main railway station in Helsinki and harass passing women.” 

DailyMail

“Women with or without accompaniment went through a literally 'gauntlet' by the heavily intoxicated men masses, as one can not describe it," a clumsy translation of a report by the German Federal Police reads. Some have suggested that the string of attacks was initially played down by the media and by German authorities in an effort to avoid triggering an anti-migrant backlash. Indeed, the mayor of Cologne, Henriette Reker, got herself in a bit of hot water for comments which seemed to suggest it is German women’s responsibility to keep would-be attackers at “arm’s length” and to not send the wrong message to “people from other cultures” by acting too “jolly and frisky.”

Meanwhile, Angela Merkel is attempting to salvage the “yes we can” narrative vis-a-vis Berlin’s refugee open-door policy while simultaneously condemning the attacks.

On Friday, Cologne’s police chief Wolfgang Albers was dismissed in connection with his department’s mishandling of the ordeal.

According to a draft document seen by Reuters, Germany may now change its policy with regard to the deportation of refugees. "The paper says refugees and asylum seekers who have been sentenced to prison or probation should be barred from eligibility for asylum,' Reuters writes. "Why should German taxpayers pay to imprison foreign criminals," Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel asked. "The threat of having to spend time behind bars in their home country is far more of a deterrent than a prison sentence in Germany." 

("Respect us! We are not fair game even when naked!" a sign held by Swiss artist Milo Moire reads)

"Women's groups and many politicians have long been arguing that Germany's sexual assault law is archaic, with loopholes that mean groping and surprise attacks are not necessarily prosecutable unless the woman tries to fight off the attack - which police often advise against," Deutsche Welle notes. "There have been very many cases that you and I would probably unequivocally describe as rape or sexual assault that haven't come to a conviction, because the women allegedly didn't defend themselves enough," Elke Ferner of the Social Democratic Party's women's group told the broadcaster.

That law is about to be changed thanks in part to the attention the New Year's attacks have brought to the issue. 

And speaking of drawing attention to the attacks, protesters are once again massing in Cologne where "thousands" of demonstrators took the streets on Saturday. "The protesters included the Islamophobic Pegida movement and the right-wing extremist Pro Cologne party" USA Today says.

More than 1,500 police officers were deployed across the city in anticipation of the rallies. Here's more from DPA

Cologne police are gearing up for a day of highly charged demonstrations, with 1000 far-right protesters expected to hit the streets in response to the mass sex assaults and thefts targeting women on New Year's Eve.

 

Hundred-strong teams of police were deployed on Saturday to locations across the western German city, totalling 1700 officers, a spokesman said.

 

The Islamophobic Pegida movement and the right-wing extremist Pro Cologne party were to stage a rally on the square in front of the main train station, where about 1000 intoxicated men are thought to have robbed, sexually assaulted and, in some cases, raped women during turn-of-the-year celebrations.

 

Of the 32 suspects identified by police in Cologne, 22 are asylum seekers, the German Interior Ministry said.

 

One suspect was carrying a document with Arabic-German translations of sexist phrases and threats, which mass-circulation tabloid Bild published on Saturday.

 

Several pro-migration counter-protests have also been planned for Saturday, underscoring the division in German society over the government's open-door migration policy, which allowed more than one million people to enter the country last year.

And from Reuters:

Migrants who commit crimes should lose their right to asylum, German chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday, toughening her tone as crowds gathered in Cologne angered by mass assaults on women on New Year's Eve.

 

Nearly two dozen asylum seekers were among those suspected of carrying out the attacks, police said this week, heightening tensions over immigration and fuelling criticism of Merkel's refusal to place a limit on the numbers of migrants entering the country.

 

"The right to asylum can be lost if someone is convicted on probation or jailed," Merkel said after a meeting of the leadership of her Christian Democrats (CDU) party.

 

"Serial offenders who repeatedly rob or repeatedly affront women must feel the full force of the law," Merkel told journalists in Mainz, promising a reduction over the longer term in the flow of migrants to Germany.

 

Under German law, asylum seekers are typically only deported if they have been sentenced to at least three years in prison, and providing their lives are not at risk at home.

 

About 1,700 police officers were on the streets of Cologne as protesters, including members of the anti-Islam PEGIDA movement, waited for official permission to march through the city.

 

At a separate left-wing protest, more than 2,000 mostly women gathered close to the train station where many of the attacks, including muggings and sexual assaults, happened.

So once again, we see a deeply divided society, with right-wing demonstrators staging a kind of "we told you so" rally and pro-refugee Germans staging counter protests even as they decry the wave of assaults. 

Meanwhile, the flow of asylum seekers continues unabated. "We had an average influx of 3,200 refugees per day arriving in Germany, and the numbers are not declining in the last days," Ole Schroeder, the deputy German minister, told a briefing in Brussels. "Our problem at the moment in Europe is that we do not have a functioning border control system, especially at the Greece-Turkey border," he added.

Where things from here is an open question but it appears many Germans are at their breaking point. How TIME's person of the year responds may ultimately determine how the world remembers one of the most indelible and revered politicians in European history.

Let's call Feminism what it really is. It was never about equality, it is a bitter, misandric, anti (white) male female supremacy movement and we are seeing the blowback play itself out right before our very eyes. Muslims are allowed to run rampant through the West, young men are dropping out of society in alarming numbers, and birth rates are declining. Japan is already way ahead of the curve for a gigantic demographic bomb to go off in the next few decades. Most of these modern "empowered" women are barely tolerable for more than five minutes and young men have completely lost their sense of identity when it comes to relationship dynamics. I hope Andrea Dworkin, Gloria Steinem, and the other second wave feminist hucksters are proud of the world they created for themselves. What halfway intelligent, successful, self-made man would want to marry any of these pampered, narcissistic, entitled, and privelaged modern women?

I would only add that it also cheapened women. 'Equality' with grunts, roughnecks and cannon fodder -brilliant!

Women were never in combat mainly for the same reason they were first on the lifeboats -as men, we are cheap and expendable -"the same decaying organic matter as everything else." Once upon a time, Women weren't. Womyn on the other hand... "the same decaying organic matter as everything else."

Ironically, I highly doubt you would ever find Steinem, Dworken or any other 'feminist' getting out and insisting that JJ Astor take her seat in the lifeboat as the Titanic sinks.

It was never about equality. It was simply another Frankfurt School wedge to crack the foundations of Western Civilization.

It's odd none of the muslim africans and arabs attacked ANY muslim women? I think the entire muslim attacks across Europe were premeditated and cooridnated carefully to strike fear into their victims hearts. How do you think these young women feel now after being brutally attacked/raped by packs of africans?

 

Merkel's words as well as that mayor's responses are disgusting.

He was crazy and had poor judgment. 

There are enough stories of him ignoring the advice of his generals when it came to military strategy. 

Also ignoring good weapon ideas.

 

Most of all,  attacking the Soviet Union was absolutely moronic.

He was already fighting on the Western front and in Africa. 

Had he not attacked the USSR, he could have used this resources against England and crushed them quickly.

If England had fallen the war would have been over in Europe.

There would be partisant attacks in the countries that were defeated but those are mostly effective if the occupiers are still at war.

"Most of all,  attacking the Soviet Union was absolutely moronic."

This is one of the most repeated fallacies in military history. If they hadn't invaded when they did, the USSR would have invaded them. They disrupted their invasion and pushed it back for quite some time.

That said, it might have been smarter to chase them into Russia, allowing them to burn all their own cities and such, and then fall back to a defensible position, leaving them with long supply lines over a nation they destroyed themselves. But hindsight is 20/20.

Legendary German air ace and stuka pilot, Hans Rudel, personally witnessed the signs of Soviet invasion preparations while flying his air missions during the initial stages of Operation Barbarossa. His book is a fascinating account of the air war over Europe from a ground-attack perspective; his status as one of the world's greatest combat aviators afforded him many personal interactions with the Nazi leadership at the highest levels (Hitler, Goering, etc.), which he recounts in a matter-of-fact style.

Millions of people have seen the drone footage of the hordes marching through Europe but the politicians and media refuse to acknowledge a ground level invasion. There are some evil, evil people orchestrating this invasion on foot.

Would it help if someone were to photoshop some of those pics/videos to dress the invaders in camo? What is going on could not be more plain, yet the facts are denied.

Okay, your book vs my book.  Stalin believed Hitler would not invade.  They were allies.  They had trade agreements (Interesting, remember the "Free trade gives us world peace" propaganda of ~20 years ago?)  Right up to the day of invasion, Stalin was warning the Russians not to put troops on the border because that would "provoke" the Germans, even though German troops were amassing at the border and German spy-planes flying up to 100 miles into Russian territory was a common occurrence.  Russian generals thought to be "provoking" the Germans had to justify their actions or they could be demoted or shot.  On the day of the invasion, Pravda ran an article claiming that there would be no war with the Germans because Germans were their allies.  Moscow did not believe an invasion had started.  When they finally got the truth into their thick heads, Stalin went into a deep depression and was "out of action" for a couple of weeks.

"The 900 Days:  The Siege of Leningrad" by Harrison E Salisbury.

EDIT:  Just read your other comment further down.  That seems to answer the apparent contradiction between "my" book and "your" book.  Not a matter of alliances, just a matter of timing.  Thanks for answering my question before I asked it!

:)

P.S.  What kind of "air missions" was Rudel flying?  He wasn't "provoking the Russians" by flying up to 100 miles into Russian air space, by any chance?

The Jewish empire was always going to gang bang Germany into the ground from the first day they stopped the pedophile Bolshevik Jews from taking over Germany in the "revolution" they carried out during the Weimar Republic.  The Jewish empire is every Anglo nation, and also the Soviet Union which was undeniably a Jewish run Bolshevik state.

And yes, Russia had massive war preparations to demolish Germany.  80% of German casualties were inflicted by the Jewish Bolshevik Soviets.  If Germany hadn't attacked first it would have been even worse for Europe and Germany.  Most likely the Soviet Union would have taken everything to the border of Spain and held it, probably to this day.

No air supremacy, no chance of success. They lost the Battle of Britain, after which the Luftwaffe if not entirely spent had no further capability to push forwards or support a push forwards. Watershed.

Hitler was hamstrung by the fact that he viewed the English as natural allies, almost to the point of delusion-- that's why he sent Rudolph Hess on a misguided mission to England. No one ever bothers to ask why Hess was kept in Spandau Prison until his death, when literally every other nazi had long been released. He obviously had a story to tell that will never be heard.

Hitler didn't start the war. Hitler invaded Poland because they were on the verge of genociding their German population.

Putin did the same thing with Crimea. The only reason NATO didn't invade in that instant is because Putin had nukes.

If Hitler had had nukes, the Reich would probably still exist, though it would be as an outcast, impoverished backwater on the lines of North Korea, simply because their economic policy was Keynesian to the extreme.

Stalin wanted World War 2 to happen, and he was in a unique position to make it happen, by pitting Germany against the rest of Europe, weakening both sides, and then allowing the Soviets to enter the war at a later date in order to sweep in and take over a substantial chunk of the European continent. Hitler grew to understand this and launched a pre-emptive attack on the Soviets before they could finish their preparations. Hitler's caught Stalin off-guard and Stalin panicked; it took him months to regain his balance and it was a near thing but in the end, Hitler was undone just as Stalin had foreseen.

"The question of war or peace has entered a critical phase for us. If we conclude a mutual assistance pact with France and Great Britain, Germany will back off from Poland and seek a modus vivendi with the Western powers. War would be avoided, but down the road events could become dangerous for the USSR. If we accept Germany's proposal and conclude a non-aggression pact with her, she will of course invade Poland, and the intervention of France and England in that would be unavoidable. Western Europe would be subjected to serious upheavals and disorder. Under those conditions, we would have a great opportunity to stay out of the conflict, and we could plan the opportune time for us to enter the war.

"The experience of the last 20 years has shown that in peacetime the Communist movement is never strong enough to seize power. The dictatorship of such a party will only become possible as the result of a major war.

"Our choice is clear. We must accept the German proposal and politely send the Anglo-French mission home. Our immediate advantage will be to take Poland to the gates of Warsaw, as well as Ukrainian Galicia ...

"For the realization of these plans it is essential that the war continue for a long as possible, and all forces, with which we are actively involved, should be directed toward this goal ...

"Let us consider a second possibility, that is, a victory by Germany... It is obvious that Germany will be too occupied elsewhere to turn against us. In a conquered France, the French Communist Party will be very strong. The Communist revolution will break out unavoidably, and we will be able to fully exploit this situation to come to the aid of France and make it our ally. In addition, all the nations that fall under the "protection" of a victorious Germany will also become our allies. This presents for us a broad field of action in which to develop the world revolution.

"Comrades! It is in the interest of the USSR -- the workers' homeland -- that war breaks out between the Reich and the capitalist Anglo-French block. Everything should be done so that this drags out as long as possible with the goal of weakening both sides. For this reason, it is imperative that we agree to conclude the pact proposed by Germany, and then work that this war, which will one day be declared, is carried out after the greatest possible passage of time..."

I despise Stalin as a Western fed, criminally insane degenerate but to be fair, there is no way he could have come up with that speech by himself.

He went as far as third or fourth grade, after which he became a street thug. By the time he was a young man his violent personality was noted by the Rothschilds. He was soon in their employ as a firebug among other criminally undesirable, violently antisocial things. Such creeps are star employees of the NWO.

So that speech was probably penned by one of his Western/NWO/Rothschild whatever handlers. What did he care, he could murder any number of Russians without question so lending his name to some speech he could barely read was nothing to him.

What has always struck me as interesting is that France and England declared war on Germany at the invasion of Poland, but not the USSR which took over the Baltic States and roughly 1/3rd of the same Poland. To put a finer point on it, the West declared war on the National Socialists but not the Soviet Socialists.

Personally, I think the world had to see the abject failures of the utopian collectivist promises under Stalin, then Mao, then Kim, then Castro, then Minh, then Chavez, then...

Well, maybe we still need to learn the lesson a few more times. Repetition is the key to learning, right?

Hitler went on the move precisely because Germany had too much debt. The German "command economy" had reached its limits and had already mandated various forms of rationing for several years. If they had spent any more time building tanks and non-productive things like weapons, it would have been Wiemar teil 2.

"Hitler put the country on a sound financial footing"

Sure, just like Greenspan did with the US.

No, he ate the seed corn to produce a very powerful military. And he wracked up plenty of gold debt, which he paid, first with internally confiscated gold, then with gold confiscated from seized territories. There was nothing sound about the fincances of Nazi Germany. They, like the Romans before them, and the Americans after them, were wholely dependent on stolen gold from conquered nations. All nations that follow this path end in the same way. Destruction on an unimaginable scale. The people raped and enslaved, and ruled by puppet governments.
