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.

As the strategy of tension increases, we wait, we watch, for soon the guiding hand will be revealed.
I can"t believe all those Neo Nazi's thugs have restrained themselves from killing foreigners this long. Seriously
Looks like the communists paid their trolls to come out in force to support moar rapes and assaults. "Bring sie in moar Arab Rapists!" is their mantra.
However, it's not as odd as I once thought considering the millions who support Democrat politicians in the USA, the same Democrat politicians who work hard to bring in the cheap labor to replace the jobs of their Dem voters.
Strange how feeble the human mind is at times.
"Communists"? Trolls? It's always the same bogey men with you isn't it. You've gotten so much mileage out of the "communists scourge". If you want to know what everybody in America IS indoctrinated with, it's fear of communism, which doesn't even exist in any organized way anymore.
That's a lot of Sour Kraut
Send them all (migrants) to see this Russian doctor......
http://beforeitsnews.com/healthcare/2016/01/crazy-russian-doctor-kills-p...
It takes a special skill to make a well-shaped naked female body so un-sexual. That's the German way, unfortunately. Now, strap a ka-bar, a sidearm and a couple bandaleros across her and I might think different ... this poor-me-naked-waif thing is Tedious.
This destruction has been incremental. It begins with the fracturing of common sense through "consumerism", watch Century of the Self documentary on youtube for a lesson on this. Then comes the fracturing of the family unit using consumerism and "whats fair" through each nation's court system via divorce, child protective services (child sex kidnapping rings) and bleeding productive people through this system. Many fall through their own vice or avarice, but know that these traps are cynically prepared AHEAD of time. The social programming is excellent, scientific and calculated. The indoctrination in "schools" is masterfull and boys stay boys never becoming providers and protectors. Jails fill and the beat goes on. Now the idleness of sports obsession and entertainment drivil like "video games" consumes them. Family formation falters and the barbarians rush in.
All part of the Internationale, Frankfurt School, Gramsci...the Bolsheviks, jew led revolution, all to put their nihilist Talmud in place to rule the world. They are venal, lowly. Everything the Talmud touches turns to shit.
Merficully for some jews, they see that, and defy it. But most of them are the lowliest sheeple. They are deeply traumatised by the failings of their past, and use usurious majick money to commit worse crimes because they lack humility, humanity.
"Serial offenders who repeatedly rob or repeatedly affront women must feel the full force of the law,"
I guess that says it all, once is not enough.
These pro-rapists demonstrators need to sit down with those girls who were attacked or raped by brown scholngers and see the result. Maybe they'd change thier very tender protected snowflake minds.
Odd the polizie are not watering down the pro-Muslim rioters.
Don't be surprised. The sex offenders first fired at the cathedral in Cologne. Geddit?
The nasty nazionists bay like wolves when one of their own dies, but have unleashed an immigration wave in Europe, just so the world can demonise muslims fleeing endless war in the Middle East which benefits Israel most. Meanwhile, Christians and secularists and others of other faith or none suffer for that arrogance, that medievalism.
Women of the West should tell these nasty nazionists and islamists to go back to their own place, and tell Western politicians to burn for what they have allowed to happen to women and children under the hateful zionist vs islamist crossfire.
It may surprise you to know that ordinary western muslims dislike the extreme version on display in the Middle East, ISIS, now imported to the West via nazionists wanting mayhem.
Why? For the same reason others come to the West. To get away from extremism.
Go fuck yourself moron, Muslim in France are form Algeria, Morocco and North Africa which has nothing to do with Israel. Muslims in Germany are mainly from Turkey. The refugees coming to Germany are from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran.
The trouble makers in Colon that were arrested were from Iran, Algeria and Morocco. Again, go fuck yourself racist lier, this has nothing to do with zionists or Israel.
Get a proof reader for your rant next time. Apart from that, it has everything to do with Israel, and the Wolfowitz Doctrine; seven countries in 5 years, and the batshit crazy Talmud which defines all non-jews as cattle to be herded, used, lied to.
You are a schmuck. Worse than that, you are a schlemiel.
Which group made multiculturalism, and allowed uncontrolled immigration? Jews who are not jews of Ashkenazi descent. Fact.
You can't handle the truth, nasty lil nazionist.
And when are your sort going to thank the Christian based West for keeping you alive or will you keep pushing for the release of jailed Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard who caused the deaths of Americans and ruin of U.S. defence by handing secrets to Israel which sold them to Russia and China.
When will your sort release Israeli Mordechai Vannunu who revealed Israel's illegal nuclear weapon program and served his prison sentence in Israel after being kidnapped by Mossad in Paris, but he is a prisoner of state in Israel which will not allow him to travel abroad?
He converted to Christianity. Is that your problem, as per usual? Use the goy, and scream like stuffed pigs when you are caught out, lying, cheating, stealing, defying international law and customs.
The so-called Jews are the enemy of humanity. Not the real Jews, who made their way into the Church. They are not the problem. The counterfeit Jews who occupy the Holy Land today are the problem. But there is an even deeper mystery, and it is this: these counterfeit Jews in the Holy Land were put there to serve yet another false Israel, a false Israel that exists not in the Middle East but rather in the City of London.
It is this Heart of Darkness and Mystery of Iniquity which is the enemy of mankind. The nation state known as Israel is just their toy, and it will be thrown to the dogs by them as soon as it becomes too burdensome for them to maintain. The problem for this fake Israel in the City of London is that the Russians, Chinese and Germans are almost certainly onto them, and it is my belief that these powers are working secretly and in unison to collapse the City, thus finally ending its 350-year reign of terror over humanity.
Don't be deceived next time you see the Russians and Chinese buying up all the property in London, and storing their gold there, and whatever else. They're setting this place up for the mother of all falls. And that will be the end of "Israel" and its death-grip on the human race.
Ah, Skinheads, we meet again.
That's odd... I didn't see any water cannons on new years eve there....
There's going to be an uprising eventually. It's ridiculous that these d/head politiicans push and push and just make rules against the wishes of the people and then something snaps and they desperately try to backtrack. Throw the lot of them out!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxw4O4jJSzw
Then someone does something stupid. People will only put up with so much. People want peace, not war. So the war profiteers and career politicians create mayhem in order to use 'the truncheon in lieu of conversation'.
Cruelty, injustice, censors.
We must hold the expensive politicians and bureaucrats to account in courts of law for their failures, rather than kill each other.
If you see what I see. If you feel as I feel. If you seek as I seek. Hold the wrong doers to account.
Author, commentator former Havy Seal Matt Bracken says Europe is going to blow in 2016 over this latest well planned wave of young male jihadis into Europe. http://m.youtube.com/results?q=john%20b%20well%20caravan%20to%20midnight...
Bracken's thesis has been supported by a former intel officer and anti-terrorism expert in a post that went viral today.
http://stopshouting.blogspot.com/2016/01/uncomfortable-truth-telling-in-...
Europe has known about this in one form of fashion for years. Gaddafi had a covert deal to keep the migrants from using Libya as a jumping off point to invade Europe. He occassionally made vague threats about throwing the flood gates open. This isn't a new problem, but it is one that has, finally, gotten out of hand. However, the population of Africa is set to double by 2050, and they'll all want to head to North. Europe finally comes to terms with this problem or it ceases to exist. Now about this coordinated attack, it is and it isn't. It's easy to get cooporation when you're telling people to do what they want to do, and providing them with justification for doing it. Islam does all this, and this isn't the first time Islam has used migration as a weapon. Mohammad moved from Mecca to Medina in such a fashion. He and his followers were peacefully allowed to migrate and within a few years they owned the place. It even has a name, the Hijra, so this concept is far from new.
As an aside, and I can only speak from a Us experience. Do you remember being punished for defending yourself and others from bullies?
Do you remember the dogmatic actions of "teachers" who tried to slowly indoctrinated powerlessness into you and your peers? I saw this in multiple states and in both public and private schools. About '81 thru
Those of you in other nations, did you experience this?? If you did I would know whether this crosses nations, religions and institutions?
It seems a trivial thing, but do you notice how at a young age you were being programmed for powerlessness?
Some did not take to the programming ;)
I never accepted the bully rule, and neither do my children. Beware of the silent dissenter who plans ahead rather than parades ;-)
Correct and this is related to the psychology of the population. This is why "public education" is terrible for children who then grow into adults with no sense of self respect.
Germany is considerred a "civil" society by its masters, so are many first world nations.
A compiant and docile population that puts up with anything believing that "violence is bad" even when in self defence.
Again ZHrs, did any of you experience this type of indoctrination in you school or "covil society" where the abusers were rewarded and the abused corrected (to put it very simply perhaps).
For older commenters, in what years did you notice this?
IT's interesting as the article and many commenters have pointed out the perverse nature of the punishment of protesters with water cannons and tear gass and thee excuses given to rapists.
Germans, why bother with permits for protests, you need to seek justice in a caluculated manner and at the right time. I do not ascribe to "JUST US" delivered by a government, these systems are abolutely rigged. It may be time to get creative.
Your rage and anger are justified and honorable, but do not let emotion drive you to foolishmess, you must be clever because those who would bait you desire to draw out the leaders and intelligent men and women, so they may be highlighted, facially recognized and put on lists.
NO, I didn't experience that at all. In fact, when and where I went to school, bullies were the ones that were taken out and exposed, not the bullied. And besides, I befriended the toughtest guy in school in grade 1 and I had muscle on my side all the way through. Everyone knew we were buds and didn't come near me.
Dark Daze,
So you sought the protection of the 'tough guy'. See the problem for society when people like you grow up and do the same.
No actually, I don't. We group ourselves into alliances because each country produces people with different talents. Germans are great at tactics, organized retreats and intelligence. Swedes an Norweigans have specialization in winter warfare. Canadians are very usefull in tough head-on battles, sniping, recon and clearing mines and booby traps. Etc. There is absolutely nothing wrong with people groupling together for their own support and protection. The problems come when psycholtic individuals are allowed to get out of control. That is another issue.
Fair points. Glad we can have a discussion.
It happen everywhere, because teachers are bureaucrats and they always try to keep it quiet.
And the easier way to keep it quiet is to silence the victims, not punish the attackers.
A civilized people afraid to fight will be eventually ruled by thugs and savages.
"Political Correctness" is a tool to control the civilized and protect the savages.
Yes. The deprogramming takes some time. John Taylor Gatto (Former NY State Teacher of the Year) has written extensively on this very topic. We ended up setting up a parallel schooling system (a "homeschooling co-op") to protect our kids. I now see any and all public school as a "Crowd Control Unit/Indoctrination center".
G L A D I O
And the purpose being ... ...?
No, not this time. Try again.
Former Navy Seal and author Matt Bracken did an interview with John B. Wells on Caravan to Midnight. Well worth the listen about 15 minutes into the show. Bracken, author of the trilogy Enemies Foreign and Domestic, and Castigo Cay says Europe will be in war with Islanm in Europe in 2016. He says he is going out on a limb but can see no other outcome, the PTB have gone too far in quest to destroy nation state system, and it will get out of their control. After which he hopes the US learns, ends open ended immigration and asylum seeking, build the wall, and get serious about putting muslims on notice their religion practices can not involve destruction of the US. http://m.youtube.com/results?q=john%20b%20well%20caravan%20to%20midnight...
Matt Bracken and others of his sort only see the symptom, not the cause. End the Fed. End all aid to genocidal Israel, and stop it from using the U.S. as its shield, sword and Treasury by which it forces uncontrolled immigration, and the destruction of the West, by which Talmudists think they will hold dominion over the USA, and the world.
In polite circles, the enemy within is called neocon, whether they be in the Demoncrap or Repugnant War Party.
In plain language, they are the new Bolsheviks who hate everyone but their own.
absolutely correct.
You are incorrect IMO. Matt Bracken and his compatriots see not just the cause, but the effluent that flows from it. How can they control the action or inaction of the dulled masses who refuse to turn away from their bread and circuses? Your criticism is not only unjustified, it's unhelpful at this juncture in history. At least Bracken and his colleagues are doing what they can to use their experience and knowledge to educate and wake up more people.
http://stopshouting.blogspot.com/2016/01/uncomfortable-truth-telling-in-...
Bracken is preaching to his choir and those of that ilk. His position is understandable from the point of view of the status quo.
These are different times. Time to stop indulging the enemy within; call it out; defy it. But his pension probably won't allow that.
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” (Upton Sinclair)
Matt Bracken doesn't collect a military pension. Think before you type, and know the facts before you spew.
Thank you.
Bracken is entitled to his pension for services to the State. Do basic research before you hyper ventilate.
Actually, I'm on very firm footing with this. Bracken did not serve 20 years on active duty, therefore is not entitled to a military pension. He is entitled to various Veteran's Benefits, but that does NOT include a military pension. If you had any actual experience with the military, you wouldn't make such slackjawed idiotic pronouncements. YOU are the one who needs to STFU and think before you type.
You are correcting your earlier error. The 'idiotic pronouncement' was yours, not mine. Veterans benefits and any payment from the State is a pension in all but name. It is payment for services rendered, and further expected.
Have a nice day,munchkin...
Just doimg the rapes that Germans refuse to do.
"A civilize people afraid to fight will eventually be ruled by thugs and savages."
A.G. Riddle
Bring back the "Brown Shirts" and let them deal with the "migrant refugees."
All migrants go home!!!
Merkel must be paid million$ to do this. If the Germans figure it out, she will swing
I agree that Merkel is toast. The pent up anger that is now finding an outlet ... that cork can not be put back in the bottle.
I haven't seen one comment by a woman. Might be one somewhere, who knows.
I know what's got you guys so upset. There is a tremendous disproportion of black men hooked up with white women, compared to white men with black women.
White guys: don't get mad. Get even.
There is an awful lot of sweet chocolate left sitting on the shelf. Check it out. It's very nice. Trust me, you will be glad you did.
You think you're mad? Not nearly as mad as they are. And they have much better reason than you.
There is truth to what you say, but people are scared because the world as they knew it is changing--there are people of color everywhere now and many are criminals, do not assimilate to western cultures and are racists.
