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.”
“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.

Nice bit of weasel wording.
It's called sarcasm, but talk about weasel words, that's a worthless reply. If that's the best you got then you aren't worth my time. I'm leaving so you can have the last word, but I'm confident you'll do a piss poor job.
See ya! Its not worthless if you leave because I called you on it.
I left to eat lunch numbnuts, and now I'm going to home depot, but you can take credit for that one too if you like. I've met rocks smarter than you.
Naked chick with sign. First time I jerked it on zerohedge. Never know what life will throw at ya.
I guess you are Ashkenazi, living in your mother's basement. Putz. Typical Talmud sleaze.
Government employee of the month?
“Germany abolishes itself” might seem an absurd fear. Here is a country with a population of 80 million in the heart of Europe: with all its cities, industry, cars, trade and commerce, hustle and bustle … But a country is what its inhabitants make of it through their living traditions, both spiritual and cultural. Without its people, Germany would be merely a geographic expression. The Germans however are gradually abolishing themselves."

No water cannons and tear gas on NYE for the rapefugees.
Idiot. 'Rapefugees 'is the new meme for those who allowed uncontrolled immigration and exploit it for their nasty lil Ashkenazi plot for a Greater Israel, paid for with the blood and treasure of the West.
Ewww. We are supposed to 'feel your pain' while you commit genocide and ask us to pay for you.
Fuck off back to Tel Aviv.
You deliver to the West your intransigence, your hateful wars; your 'cultural war'. FUCK OFF,, and take your DHS filth with you, putz.
You are fabalous. I couldn't think of a better representative of Joooo hate here at ZH. Your cause is so much better for your presence, now continue to rant away at every commenter, you fucking freak.
Newby,
You are stupid. Write on, and prove it more so, nasty lil nazionist ;-)
And ask your Tel Aviv handlers to give you a proof reader. Putz.
No please go ahead and reply to every single fucking comment with outlandish jooo hate. It really does prove your point. You're too stupid to fucking breath.
Learn to write proper English grammar, and then you might get your nazionist point across.
Putz.
The world is a contest of ideas, not your nasty lil nazionism, and semi-literacy.
The world is indeed a contest of ideas, and that's why you're ranting anonamously in the comment section of a financial conspiracy blog. Is that win, place or show?
The Newb comment is interesting. You've been here 19 weeks, and I've been here 5 years, but you called me a newb. I'm betting that's a little hint that you've been here before, and been banned because you're in-fucking-sane. How long do you think you'll last this time?
The future belongs comes clear. Germany is gone. What's next will be unsettling. Don't get too comfortable.
Boy you seem to have alot of give up in ya. Been practicing? Cause it shows.
You don't know shit. Germany goes back thousands and thousands of years. They were so feared by Rome that most of what we know today as modern Germany, which would include the former Prussia, was a Roman 'no-go area'. They are the only people who ever defeated the Romans in a direct battle. The Germans are not 'gone' by a long shot.
Or not. I was taken back by the just-beneath-the-surface anger of a lot of generational native Germans as early as 2011/2012. They are "ahead" of us on many points. But I wouldn't write off the native Teutonics just yet.
Strange --- where were all these people when 1000+ brown skinned men were running around the streets touching the tits and asses of German women?

Where were the caucasians when nazionists imposed their Talmud on Western law; their Frankfurt School, Gramsci.
Where were Americans when the country was overtaken by nasty nazionists; nasty money grubbing Israhell firsters, those genocidal maniacs.
Killing Jack. That's where you were.

Just as you are today.
Filth. Ashkenazi filth, wake up. Come to the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Or die.
Putin of Russians and General Solemanei of Iran hold God and people closest to their hearts and aims, much like my forefathers did.
'An error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it...the only business in America protected by the Constitution' is the Press.
'Improved understanding of the news...the printing press...man will be what he was born to be: free an independent.'
Ashkenzazi are an old war tribe. They are not of white culture. They are inbred. Perhaps that is why they are jealous, and want to ruin white culture, black, and eurasian. They are nutjobs, no doubt about it...except for those who went native and learned to abide by the world, not their freak Talmud.
Interesting, 2000 police were sent for a demonstraition against sexual violence, but when a 1000 sex mob rages, they are getting overwhelmed.
It is obvious that the police serve politics nowadays. It doesn't matter if women are raped. It only matters if the rapist serves the Internationale, uncontrolled immigration, the aim of the nazionists.

The Refugee Crisis Will Be the Demise of Europe
"... But it is even more important is to understand why this is a war rather than a crisis caused by refugees. Everything about this development bears the hallmarks of a military/intelligence operation. ... this is either treason or high treason. ... The divorce between the government and the people is almost complete by now. No sane person believes the press or the politicians. ... this society is completely broken, with every key element, acting against both individual and collective interests, seemingly following orders while digging their own graves. ..."
As several articles published on Zero Hedge have repeated regarding the plans that the ruling classes constructing the European Union had to cause crises in order to then take advantage of the circumstances that were thereby deliberately driven to develop, I regard it as intended to be the case that the laws in Europe would tend to be much more applied against native Europeans protesting the overwhelming waves of immigration, rather than applied against those immigrants. (As Bunga Bunga pointed out in the comment just above mine.)
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-09-07/situation-smoldered-decades-now-exploding
The Situation That Smoldered For Decades Is Now Exploding
That primarily appears to be a runaway "divide and conquer" strategy. The families of the oligarchs do NOT live in the areas which are flooded by refugees. Those who suffer the consequences of the deluge of various immigrants become even less able to politically organize against the ruling classes that have adopted those policies of "divide and conquer."

EVERYTHING IS INTERCONNECTED.

Europe’s Rape Epidemic:
Western Women Will Be Sacrificed At The Altar Of Mass Migration
... Sweden has become Europe’s rape capital. Its government has blamed this on everything from increased reporting to the internet to the weather. Norway and Denmark also have some rather alarming rates of rape, but those countries are more readily willing to admit the cause. In Norway, recent statistics revealed that 100 per cent of violent street-rapes committed in the capital city of Oslo were committed by “non-western” immigrants. It’s a similar story in Denmark, where the majority of rapes are committed by immigrants, usually Muslim. In England, it’s been rape after rape – tens of thousands of young British girls are brutalised, tortured, beaten and raped by organised gangs comprised almost exclusively of Muslims. And now we have Germany. When Chancellor Merkel threw open the doors of her country to hundreds of thousands of migrants from the Middle East and Africa, she opened the door to the rape of German women. ...
It’s true, women are abused everywhere, but
in most countries it’s against the law.
In Islamic states, it is the law.
Many of the men on their way to Europe were raised, as in Pakistan, to believe that a woman who isn’t all-but invisible is asking to be raped. On the legal books in Pakistan, a woman can be stoned to death for being a victim of rape. What on earth do we expect from the bulk of men who grow up under these rules? How will they view women, and rape? And what on earth do we expect to happen when they come en masse to Europe? They will suddenly become feminists en route? No, they bring this misogyny with them, and it’s a misogyny that Europe’s women are about to become very familiar with. Migrants leave behind many things when they leave their country. Their beliefs are not among them.
In response to the rape epidemic, European authorities have decided to follow the Islamic way entirely; they’ve decided to place restrictions on the freedoms of their own women, rather than the freedoms of known rapists. In Germany, women were advised not to travel to and from the train station unaccompanied. ... So there you have it, the removal of a woman’s most basic freedom – the freedom to go about her business in safety – is the German authorities’ solution to rape. Young girls have been told not to wear shorts in another German town, because this might lead to misunderstandings (“misunderstanding” is Newspeak for rape in progressive modern Germany). So it is the girls who have their freedoms removed, and the emphasis is placed on their behaviour, while rapists are permitted to run free. This is only the start. Will girls be prevented from playing sports to avoid “misunderstandings”? Just how much freedom are our leaders going to give away to appease Muslim men? We’ve already handed over free speech, now it’s time to hand over women’s freedom. ...
Sweden is one of the extreme examples:

Radical M., I saw and read your post after I had already sent the ROK's tweet. Both sources complement each other.
Rad Mar:
The Russian Insider article you quote is interesting.
Question is, if the flood of refugees is all carefully planned, who is doing the planning? And who is providing them all with the latest smartphones topped up with credit minutes? etc etc
I do not know.
USSA, NWO crowd - remember Gen Welsey Clarks statement that Europe was not going to be allowed to be White (paraphrasing) and all "States" were to be mixed up - all is going according to plan.
How many Christians died by worse sex attacks in the Middle East under zionist rule, hmmm?
You are being played. Get off your knees.
No shortage of cops when they are needed to control the domestic population.
No shortage of apologists for the Ashkenazi who dominate Western .gov, and use divide and rule as per their Talmud.
I am not sure the girl w/o the clothes is helping ... I'd do her tho :)
She makes the point that Western Christian and secular culture would not attack a woman or child, no matter whether they were dressed or naked.
The Talmud vs Koran medievalists exploit children and women; so do their current crop of overpaid career politicians.
I like her shoes.
"Update: the water cannons are out as is the tear gas"
Where were those cannons and polize during the crimes against the Germans?
Right is Wrong and Wrong is Right.
Definetly in Kali Yuga.
Where was the force of the State? It was with the AshkeNazi, and its political way. Merkel is forced to take one step back, as per her wolf in sheep's clothing, the Internationale, owned by the world's most hateful tribe: the AshkeNAZI.
Motto of the Fabian Society: one step forward, two steps backward. Its mascot: a wolf in sheep's clothinjg.
The reprinting of Mein Kampf after decades of being banned is suspiciously convenient... Almost like *someone* wants the German people to wake up before it's too late.
People talk all the time about history repeating, but anyone who has actually read Mein Kampf can see exactly the same things happening here as were happening back then. Back then they were openly leftist/communist agitators trying to bring down the German nation, now they are closet leftists and people who don't realize they are being used by leftists. According to the book, the only response was to organize and meet the leftists in the street and beat them down with extreme violence, which is exactly what happened.
Will it happen again?
I get your point, and it crossed my mind too. However, the USA has other internal issues to digest.
Europe is lost, again, and so is the East, all because they lick the jackboot of feudalism; their default setting.
I defend the Constitution, and Bill of Rights. Other worlds must decide what they do in their own lands.
Anyone who disagrees with their NWO is now labeled an extremist regardless of how absurd. I wear that as a badge of honor

Isn't it interesting that this zionist vs islamist fight which controls western .gov sacrifices children and women most whilst claiming war is good.
The U.S. government had nothing to say for the black woman shackled in an African jail of muslim vs jew, although her husband was an American citizen, and the worldwide Christian church got her released, and she came to New England.
She was forced to give birth to her child while she was shackled. Her crime? She refused to denounce her Christian faith. That's it.
Zionist vs Islamist hate Christians and secularists; people of other faith or none at all.
U.S. gov did nothing to help her. Mariam Ibrahim is her name. If she was jewish or muslim, then .gov would shout the world down, but instead, .gov serves the money changers, nasty lil nazionists.
I like the way you've now adapted Islam into your conspiracy theories. Before you simply ignored the problems associated with Islam and blamed it all on Mossad, but now that the problem is so large you can't ignore it you've incorporated it. Well, you're struggling to incorporate it. You still haven't come up with a coherent narrative, but you're trying. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
