Germany Erupts Into Chaos As Protesters Declare "Rapefugees Not Welcome"
Anger over a wave of sexual assaults that occurred across the EU on New Year’s Eve reached a boiling point in Germany on Saturday when some 1,700 people attended a rally organized by the anti-Muslim PEGIDA movement.
PEGIDA, which nearly fizzled early last year, gained in popularity as hundreds of thousands of Mid-East asylum seekers responded to Angela Merkel’s open-door refugee policy by flooding across Germany’s borders. Initially, many Germans met the the migrants with hugs and gifts, but as the months wore on, sentiment gradually soured and attendance at PEGIDA rallies once again spiked with as many as 20,000 people showing up for an October demonstration.
Seeking to capitalize off the assaults that were allegedly perpetrated by groups of marauding Arab refugees in Cologne, PEGIDA took to the streets this weekend and predictably, clashes with riot police ensued.
“Demonstrators, some of whom bore tattoos with far-right symbols such as a skull in a German soldier's helmet, had chanted ‘Merkel must go’ and ‘this is the march of the national resistance’”, Reuters writes. Another banner read: "Rapefugees not welcome."
Ultimately, police rolled out the water cannons to disperse the crowd, which authorities say was at least partially comprised of “known hooligans” - whatever that means.
Some protesters hurled firecrackers and bottles at officers and in a testament to just how divided the country has become, dozens of counter demonstrators massed to protest the PEGIDA protest. Here’s a short clip which depicts the chaos:
The rallies came as Merkel signaled the German government may soon move to deport offenders. "The right to asylum can be lost if someone is convicted, on probation or jailed," Merkel said following a meeting of the CDU's top brass. "Merkel's remarks on Saturday were in stark contrast to her earlier optimism about the influx to Germany, which has taken in far more migrants than any other European country," Reuters remarked.
As we wrote on Saturday, "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."
Indeed, some among the crowd openly called for the Iron Chancellor's head (figuratively speaking). "Merkel has become a danger to our country. Merkel must go," a speaker told the crowd which, as Reuters goes on to note, "loudly echoed the call, expressing their anger at Germany's 1.1-million-strong migrant influx last year."
"These women who fell victim will have to live with it for a long time. I feel like my freedom has been robbed," one mother of four said.
The anger was just as palpable on the opposite side as many Germans see PEGIDA's growing support as a dangerous blast from the country's troubled past. Some 1,300 leftist demonstrators from the counter-protest shouted "Nazis raus!" (Nazis out!), while holding signs that read "There is nothing right about Nazi propaganda," and "Fascism is not an opinion, it is a crime".
"We are there to tell them to shut up. It is unacceptable for PEGIDA to exploit this horrible sexual violence perpetrated here on New Year's day and to spread their racist nonsense," one counter-protester said.
Meanwhile, in an eerie twist of fate, the seven decade ban on publication of Mein Kampf expired this month in Germany. Although anyone is now techinically free to publish Hitler's manifesto, the definitive edition will be a 2,000 page annotated volume published by the Institute for Contemporary History in Munich.
Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, says it "'would be best to leave 'Mein Kampf' where it belongs: the poison cabinet of history.'" "'Unlike other works that truly deserve to be republished as annotated editions, 'Mein Kampf' does not,'" he adds. ICH director Andreas Wirsching said the following of the new edition in an interview with Deutsche Welle:
Our edition is particularly aimed at historical researchers. It can't be denied that Hitler's "Mein Kampf" is certainly an important historical document. The book is a source for information on his life, his thinking and most importantly, the history of National Socialism as a whole, and therefore it's meant for research purposes.
But I'm certain that with this edition's styling, we will reach an even wider audience due to the great interest in this topic. The commentaries are in part brief academic annotations, and we have added a detailed index to easily access the content. Public interest in this topic is so vast, and so we hope that maybe a few non-experts will also take a look at our edition.
While we can't say for sure whether the buyers are "non-experts," some people are indeed "taking a look." As The Daily Mail reports, the new edition "was an instant sellout when it hit bookstores in Germany for the first time since the Second World War." Like a unicorn tech IPO, the launch was oversubscribed as there were nearly four times as many orders as available copies. "More than 15,000 advance orders were placed, despite the initial print of 4,000 copies," The Mail continues, adding that "one copy [was] even put up for resale on Amazon.de for €9,999.99.
And so, it would appear that PEGIDA leader Lutz Bachmann was indeed correct last year when he posted the following picture of himself on Facebook with the caption "He's back."

Germans are obligated by the state propaganda ministerium to pay a TV / internet fee of 17 euros per month to expose themselves to Anglozionazi filth peddled to them as "news" whether they want to or not. They are sick of it and NSA agent Merkill. Being the keystone of the North Amerikan Terror Organ (NATO) the punks in Washing town know that if they lose Germany then the entire USSAN empire in occupied Urupp goes belly up. The German aristocracy fukked up real bad by bringing in the legions of anti Assad forces and detritus of the Anglozionazi rampage and now USSAN moderate rapists are as out of control on German soil as USSA'S moderate terrorists are in the entire Middle East. This is the beginning of the end of the German occupation by Pentacon Kill Industries.

"This is, I believe, a fairly recent practice which visibly emerged first in the wake of the financial crisis 2008 / 2009 during which all media suddenly stopped to publish critical reports about the developments."
False. This started immediately after the second world war when the OAS (CIA) brought Axel Springer to UK to see the operations of the infamous Daily Mirror where Brits get their daily dose of smut. Bullhorn Springer was instructed from then on Germans would have tits and bums for news like the Britlander sub working class. News is what USSA says it is. Hence today Germans are fed a diet of filth and porn and judaic infoniblets through their own Spiegel and Bild...two rancid organs with the intellectual content of retarded mice but enough prurient interest to keep the masses slobbering as they ingest their judaic gump.
Germany will not go back to National socialism, Nazism was MADNESS. But the madness came from the socialist part, not the nationalist part. As a national conservative I can say that nationalism is good when it is used to spread national pride, pride in ones own culture and an adherence to the traditional values of family, God and country.
And once again, all they do is protest. ZZzzzz
Stand down while Muslim invaders rape your women, but take water cannons to the German nationals.
Upside-fucking-down.
Rise up downtrodden masses, your demise is near.
Denying Muslim men the right to engage in sex with prostitutes is anti-Islamic, and the Islamic definition of 'prostitute', is any woman that walks in public without a Hajib and a male relative in the proximity.
You must stand corrected.
Any non Muslim is an infidel as per the Koran
And what a Muslim does to an infidel, even if the person is a woman, is done to punish an infidel. Comitting rape on an infidel woman is not considered an offense
Unless the Koran is rewritten with context to a present civilized world ( removal of anything that promotes violence) Muslims will think they do their God's bidding.
Say what you like about the Mooslems, but at least their women don't murder their own offspring to avoid becoming mothers.
Angela Merkel , a woman without children, will never know the pain of having her daughter raped.
Germans must decide if they are Dumpkopfs oder Gescheit by continuing to have her as Chancellor
Many of the last couple of pages of comments are completely dissociated from reality, people clearly exist in fantasy lands of demons, heros. black vs white, pure Nordics vs filthy others.
The world is what it is and must be dealt with in ways that improve our future. Science and engineering are the most successful tools we have in dealing with our problems, all those reject those proven tools.
Fantasies of racial superiority can't help with that. Assuming that some people are superior to others in any intrinsic way can't help, it can't be generally-true enough to change anyone's decisions intelligently, the world of people requires thought and individual attention.
People are what they are, including the many varieties of simple understandings such as these.
Anyone who believes that politicisns have an easy job isn't paying attention.
I know many people of all varieties, have worked with them in many context, interacted in medical, legal, ... situations. Some rub me the wrong way, and it seems to me that the political opinions of many are even less sound than those of most of my relatives, at lest in some areas. It is a rare person of any nationality or ethnic group who really understands the importance of human rights and restrictions on gov power.
OTOH, commenters on zh are some of the best, an impresive group. Keep up the thinking and writing, we are changing the world.
Preference for your own kind is not "racism."
If it is, then we must accept that racism is natural and normal, and even positive -- and also universal. Blacks, jews, women, gays and other "oppressed" groups clearly have a preference for their own kind.
Also, one can maintain a preference for something without insisting that it is "superior" in some objective sense. Preference is subjective and individual. The accusation that one thinks one's own race is "superior" is a red herring.
Human beings are tribal, and have a natural preference for their own tribes. This is why multiculturalism can never succeed on a large scale or in a permanent way. The globalists are forcing multiculturalism down our throats because it is profitable for them, not because it makes any sociological sense.
No democratic system can ever result in minorities having equal power, "respect," influence and the like, since people will always vote for their own interests and for the interests of their own tribe. The only way minorities can have equal (or greater) power than the majority group is through tyranny, as in Saddam Hussein's Iraq, where the 10% minority Sunnis dominated the 90% Shias; or in apartheid South Africa; or in Israel/Palestine. Equality under the law is not the same thing as equal power.
In fact, "equality under the law" is an absurdity that does not and cannot exist in social or political reality. It only exists in the text of a statute.
