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.

And we still haven't seen any film evidence of rioting or fighting, although there are some stupid firework scenes. The mobile film footage I've seen even had elderly white guy with white hair watching the fireworks. About 5 women have come forward claiming they were groped, but not one has come forward to say she was actually raped - yet.

It was on the internet so you know it's true. LOL I agree that some of the stories are hard to believe (though I tend to want to believe them). Suddenly a crazy group of terrorists appear and start lopping off heads on video. Suddenly millions of refugees 'decide' it's time to move north to Sweden and Germany for the winter. Suddenly gangs of these refugees start gang raping random women. It would be easier to accept if the MSM wasn't the one playing up the stories, they don't report news they pass on propaganda. I would also like to see some of those videos that everyone seems to take constanly show one of those gangs. Actually I'd like to see more than one since there were so many gangs. We know we are being fed manure so why are we so eager to swallow this meme?

Not sure what MSM you're watching, but this issue and these protests are NOT being covered by the MSM, aside from perhaps a quick obligatory mention here or there. Go to cnn.com, not a single mention on their top stories.

Of course the MSM is not covering it.  They are an arm of the Deep State.

If you want more direct indication of who was luring these sub-humans to Germany and other Nordic-Saxon-Germanic countries, check out the investigative bit of journalism done by the VoltaireNet:  

"Who is twitter-luring refugees to Germany?by Andrey Fomin

   http://www.voltairenet.org/article188774.html

The Pareto list (sorted by Frequency in descending order) by country is: UK, USA, Germany, Australia, India, Nepal, Canada, Belgium.

Now the serious question you have to ask yourself:  Why would all these Anglo countries or their former colonies have an Agenda, to lure them to Germany of all places?  Most suspicious indeed.

My hypothesis is, that this is another indication that External Forces (Soros & Fiends) and their agents/Sayanim are at work, trying to wreck Germany and the otherwise stable and successful Nordic countries -- which are resisting the Agenda and demands of the Global Cabal of Banksters.

Re: Deadfred - " Suddenly gangs of these refugees start gang raping random women. It would be easier to accept if the MSM wasn't the ones paying up the stories."

What I noticed was that it suddenly it was happening at the same time in multiple countries.  Somebody is sponsoring this.  Could be a few instances sponsored in each location (how hard to have you provacators grab a few butts and breasts) and then use the local controlled news outlets to hype it.  Or could be more rampant in each location by young dummies who listened to the provacators in the days prior.. (It seems they may be backing off the actual rape claims.)

But it sure appears someone planned for this to happen.  Which side and for what purpose is unclear. Was it to ignite the protests - or the counter protests to the protests.

Who benefits is a good question. It is certainly polarizing the European nations. Do the hoodlums really prefer to be back in Turkey or Iraq? This appears to be an ISIS / Intelligence Agency op along the lines of a color revolution, but aside from causing a ruckus, I don't see directly how it benefits the radical Muslim program. It could easily backfire and will hamper future collaborative NWO / Muslim false flag events like the Paris shootings or the London subway bombing. There must be an angle I am not seeing. Clearly the MSM has done everything they can to silence the story; and note how they zoom in on  the Swastikas whenever they cover anti-immigrant protests.

This would be a pretty big f'n op:  To organize thousands of agent provocateurs to molest on cue.  

The only way I could see this being "organized" is by making sure the folks you let in for "asylum" are the worst of the worst from the get-go.  Kind of a leaderless Trojan Horse false flag scenario.  But to what end?  Seems like the anti-immigration/asylum crowd would benefit the most as it looks like public tolerance is about to dry up, as you would expect.  

Should be interesting to see how this develops.

Exactly. You have clerics inside European nations promoting this stuff, a suicidal tolerance of such behavior enforced by the MSM, Facebook and Twitter promoting ISIS while censoring nationalist/nativist speech, all of which promotes a certain puppetmaster NWO agenda. In total, this is an "op" or an agenda at work. I just hope that some of this lies outside the elite's AI algorithms managing the human domain and that some serious uncontrollable blowback occurs. Hopefully there will be an opening to re-assert nation-state interests and basic human survival here. But until we end debt-based currencies where the Central Banks and their private owners are sucking 20% off our backs every year, nothing will improve over the longterm. Peace.

Of ocurse, it';s the Saudis paying for these rapes and thugs to unbalance and destroy Germany and now protest for moar rapists to be allowed into the nation. isis has already bragged about sneaking in thousands to germany with the 'refugees.'

 

I wouldn't be surprised if isis fighters were beind organizing these rape squads. Hard to beleive the police are so useless or simply looking th eother way on orders from above.

Actually, it has been happening all along. The people on the right have been warning about it, and the press has refused to cover it, and when they did, they ALWAYS left out the fact that they were refugees. Only on the internet has the truth been able to spread. It's just that this incident was so large and so widely reported online that the press has had no choice but to talk about it, and their narraitive has collapsed in the face of their utterly absurd position on the subject.

Agree. And 40 years of radical feminist teachings has reeducated Western people to believe that looking at or speaking to a woman is equivalent to rape. ("The chat-up is rape." Old French feminist slogan.)

It would be quite easy to seed this idea and have the far-right reactionaries push it. Notice that neither the far-left nor the far-right advocate deporting Jews, psyops, and banksters. And they certainly cannot mention the rape of the people at the hands of these groups.

Very convenient that the International Bogeyman has descended upon our countries and is now 'attacking' our goddess feminists.

But let us say that this did happen, what is the solution? An end to the Western niqab (hooker facepaint and inflated ego), deportation of the military and its industry, a collective drawing and quartering of banksters with their psyop masters, working out a return of all people to their native lands so as to end the cultural abstraction industry (perhaps the goyimisers could clean up California), and finally outlaw all hard solutions.

The last point is the most important, I think. The tendency of the left is a form of opposition which negates but never offers solution, and the right offers solutions which are hardened, tending towards institutionalisation and bureaucracy. It is necessary to oppose current events which dominate our lives, but also the state in its current and future form while creating meaningful lives for ourselves, our families, friends, and communities. This is the hard part, the trajectory of our advancement sets us up to be the new masters; and it is easy for opposition groups to seed themselves into this trajectory so as to advance it for their own purposes.

Part of the problem is that youtube is taking videos down. That's why you see a lot of the alt media reporting on there, linking to videos on other sites and saying some things over and over. Follow some of the more popular ones for a few months and you will see what I am talking about. I also have friends in real life from Germany and the UK and they told me enough to add 1 and 1 together to get to 2.

I still don't believe this will go over very smoothly for these idiots if the problem ever comes to the States.

There was a cop in nyc who was trying to arrest one of Obama's sons and a crowd of his other sons surrounded him threatening him. He held his back to the wall with his revolver in one hand and the thug in his other hand and asked "who wants to be the first to be shot?...Step forward."

 

Not one thug in the crowd stepped forward to attack him.

 

He stood there for 30 minutes before help arrived since not one of barry's sons wanted to call 911. Finally a black librarian saw what was happening and went home and dilaed up 911 for the cop.

Pretty disgusting but he lived thru it. I remeber his words...'the gun seemed to double in weight every minute he was so stessed out.'

 

Moral of the sotry...keep them at bay and keep a steady hand.

The torrent of refugees is a delight to those in power who have destroyed the Family structure and encouraged the lifestyles of the LGBT.  By destroying coherent families they've destroyed the demographics needed to sustain an economy.  As the birth rate declines because of our decedent lifestyles, the elite are running out of cheap labor.

This is why the Industrialists are the ones lobbying Congress the most to grant illegal immigrants amnesty.

The elite don't give a crap about you or your raped daughters, as long as the show goes on, as long as they can keep the Ponzi afloat with fresh laborers.
