Still do not really know what happened, but it seems a counter demonstration was planned for where a KKK rally was taking place. I cannot imagine that would go well.
FOX has a story on it here from this afternoon.

Germans react to over the top, government elitism
The other day, German President Gauck made some rather revealing statements which seemed to indicate the contempt the ruling elite have for the people who elected and pay them to represent their interests.
Today it seems, many of the German public expressed their disgust.
Here the police used harsh measures against the protestors. There is no evidence as to why they were necessary.
Here you can see them heaping scorn on him directly. (looking forward to a translation later)
Article here in Europe Online offers the following:
Leipzig, Germany (dpa) – German President Joachim Gauck was met with verbal abuse and rude gestures on Sunday during a visit to the eastern state of Saxony, while eye-witnesses also reported clashes between his supporters and opponents.
Gauck was greeted by a crowd shouting “get lost” and “traitor” as he arrived in the 8,700-strong town of Sebnitz to celebrate the 116th German Hiking Day in so-called Saxon Switzerland, known for its stunning scenery.
The state of Saxony has become notorious for right-wing extremism in recent months and is also home to the controversial Dresden-based movement Pegida, or Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West.
(“Right wing extremism” has come to mean a belief in classically liberal policies such as representative government and the belief that you should be allowed to continue to exist within your own culture and value set)

German-Christian Iconography. What does it reveal?
A good friend of the Counter-Jihad had spent some time as a fine arts major in a German University.
She informed me that there is, it seems, a curious tradition in German classical art that many of us may find quite intriguing,
The term for it is “Mondsichelmadonna” which means “sickle moon Madonna.”
The images are of the Virgin Mary, usually holding something like a scepter, and standing on a crescent moon.
The moon, I am told, must also have a specific feature.
The moon must have a face, and that face must look unhappy.
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
The icons can be seen all over Germany, although they are not so common as perhaps once, they might have been.
Many date back to the late 1600s like this one, which is right at the center of München.
(Munich)
If you zoom in on the statue, you get a better idea. This one is said to be at the geographical center of München and all roads lead away from this point.
Axis of symmetry was reversed in this enlargement
An interesting set of features. The Virgin Mary, a baby Jesus, a scepter of some kind and standing on an unhappy crescent moon.
Our friend tells us that no one knows what any of this means anywhere. not in the usual literature and certainly no university prof. or purveyor of the narrative has any idea what these things means.
I suppose that means they will be removed soon, despite having been there since the 1500s.
I suppose in a way, this can be thought of as the German equivalent of the classical tradition of iconic art known as The Pietà, except with the added element of the scepter and the unhappy crescent moon.
They must have a crescent moon. It must have a face, And it must be unhappy.
One wonders why a solidly iconic figure would be portrayed as standing on an unhappy crescent moon’s face in and around the 1500s and 1600s in Germany.
It may be impossible to figure that out. There is, as German art profs insist, “there is simply no way to know.”
And yet there it is all over German art in that period, and represented in magnificent statuary all over Germany.
The moon face on the top image seems to be wearing a cap of some kind.
But that cannot possibly have anything to do with the meaning of the imagery.
No doubt just an ancient teutonic custom from the renaissance with no actual meaning whatsoever to be discarded ad abandoned with last week’s milk. The cost of making these must have been the ransom of a Sultan though, if Europeans where the sort of folks who took Sultans hostage and ransomed them. So it must have meant something to them at the time.
Perhaps if enough grant money is found, and all arts schools can be funded enough to destroy all the research, its possible that the meaning of the unhappy crescent moon with a sad face and a sort of cap on can be forgotten forever in case the facts of history may offend those people currently in the process of rewriting it all.
How meaningful is the cry to exit across Europe?
Before we launch in to a country by country analysis, it might be worth trying to decide how meaningful the BREXIT actually was.
And after lots of discussion, thought and analysis, the answer is yet to be determined as its up to the British.
For one thing, the referendum is not binding. For another, as Black Pigeon points out, invoking article 50 of the EU rules basically just keeps the nation under the yolk of the EU with the same obligations but fewer rights.
It was obviously designed to make leaving unthinkable.
The video also points out that the EU fixes the game in a number of ways, not just article 50, but also that they will allow a vote on critical things like the EU constitution, make it unintelligible legalese nonsense that cedes them all the legislative and monetary power in Europe, then spend Europe’s money advertising it as a good thing while opposing sides have to use private money and can’t possibly have the same reach, and then when the vote goes against the EU anyway, they just hold another referendum till it goes the way the people are told to vote.
The EU is not a government of and for the people.
So what can make this BREXIT event meaningful?
The shift in the culture.
When Obama was elected in the US, things had changed rapidly before he really did much of anything, because his mere election as president sent a shock wave throughout the culture.
It was a permission slip to a large number of people to behave in a way they never would have thought possible before. It was clearly an open invitation to some, and a stark warning to others.
The people of Great Britain only gave themselves a chance in yesterday’s non-binding plebiscite. But if they want it to be meaningful, they need to act on it.
And what would that mean?
British fishermen making ready for sea and taking fish from her own waters for sale inher own markets and anywhere else who wants to buy.
Small businesses starting up and operating in defiance of EU rules.
Farmers growing what they want and feel they can sell to local and foreign markets.
And most of all, to the EU, defiance. And not paying into a fund used to bribe them with their own money, to keep them in submission.
Decide on their own immigration policies and begin to enforce them at every level. And this also perhaps may have to be done by the British people themselves to let the government know what the people will and will not accept.
After all, the government is supposed to be the representative of the people and the people’s will, and the preserver of the culture, laws, customs and interests of those people.
From time to time the people seem to need to remind the leaders of that.
As for other nations, the ones who count are the ones who’s actual leaders are calling for a national referendum on an EU exit and so far there are none I am aware of as yet.
The rest are opposition leaders. And however popular they are, its unlikely they can force this to a vote without a national election first where they win.
The closest so far is Hungary, who initially wanted GB to stay in as a needed ally to try and help whip the EU into a rational institution which would reflect the interests of the European people.
Having paid close attention to a number of Orban’s speeches in order to subtitle them, it is hard to believe that he would think this was a possibility. The EU is fundamentally not interested in preserving Europe or defending Europeans. It is interested in creating a super-state and using mass Muslim immigration to destroy the traditional ethnic nationalism, history, culture and customs of the European people, allegedly in the name of diversity, in order to create a monotonous, totalitarian monoculture of socialism with Islam, and, in their minds, with Brussels in tight control and rolling in money.
However now he is moving towards meetings with leaders of central European states to discuss the next steps for themselves. This is meaningful. I would short sell the Euro on this bit of news.
If Great Britain manages to break free of this at a cultural level, an official exit vote in other nations may not even be necessary. the EU will simply cease to be.
One thing the left has taught us in the past fifty years…
The power lies in the culture.
“Feelings of exclusion and resentment” by the muslim community results in Canada day in one town, taking place in a mosque parking lot
A mosque parking lot. This is the concession we make because some people claim that they are made to feel unwelcome when they wear the uniform of the people who are killing us all over the world. Including Canada when they can.
So because of the resentment shown by the people who have enough courage to actually express themselves in the face of the most repugnant ideology and doctrine the world may have ever seen, one mayor has decided to hold the Canada day festivities in a mosque parking lot with a bouncy castle instead of a public park.
I can see that working out well.
I hope those non-Muslims, or should I be multicultural and say, “Najis” or “Kufaar“, bring pork products if they normally would, and alcohol if they normally drink on Canada day (Dominion Day) and ask open unafraid questions about Islamic history, slavery then and now, rules and punishments about apostasy and so on and find out what this is really about. Lets see if this tolerance in the parking lot extends to full throated Canadian culture or just a temporary parking lot detente.
German authorities evict hundreds of leftist squatters to make room for illegal migrants
Many of these people are reportedly members of ANTIFA.
This is not the first time their squats have been cleared out to make way for the people they called us all racist for opposing. But it never gets old.
The leftists decided to light the night with burning other people’s cars as a response
More tomorrow when we get it translated. For the moment, Egri Nok tells us that these are ANTIFA who have been evicted from a squat to make room for migrants and they rioted and burned cars as a consequence.
A similar thing happened in March which we reported here.
Private School: Imam refuses handshake and lodges complaint against teacher
AN original translation by Egri Nok with much thanks!
From this German Website
BERLIN. A Muslim father refused to shake hands with a female teacher in the Pankow district of Berlin. The educator from the private Platanus School accused the man of lack of respect and misogyny, and ended the conversation. The father, who had been at the school for a discussion about his son, lodged a criminal complaint against the teacher, RBB (public radio) reported.
Prior to the conflict pupils had been roughhousing, for which the imam’s son had received a written warning. The boy’s father, Imam Kerim Ucar, a devout Shiite from Eastern Turkey, after several academic talks with the mother, had according to the broadcaster been invited to the school, too.
Hand on the heart
Even as he entered the conference room, Ucar made it clear hat for religious reasons he could not shake a woman’s hand. According to the couple, the teacher asked the imam four times to offer his hand. The gesture was a German custom and a vital affirmation of respect, she explained.
Ucar rejected the request politely but firmly, and put his hand on his heart, which in his religion is the highest possible testimony of respect for a woman. Subsequently the teacher allegedly became loud, and ended the talk.
School contract cancelled
The school declined to comment on the incident, but intends to remain in dialogue with the family. The parents cancelled the schooling contract, retained a lawyer, and lodged a criminal complaint for insult and violation of the dignity of religion.
This past spring, a similar case in Switzerland caused worldwide headlines. Teachers in the Swiss canton Baselland can now insist that Muslim scholars must shake hands, the educational administration of the canton decided. Despite freedom of religion, schools may “demand a handshake and use the sanction options of the educational law,” the authority informed. The equality of man and woman, and integration, were more important than the pupils’ freedom of religion.
[Once again we see that multiculturalism really means any culture that is European or North American will have priority. The German custom of shaking hands to establish equality and trust, will likely be sidelined for the Islamic one of not touching women unless its under … Islamic conditions.]
Who is the hostage taker from Viernheim?
An original translation by Nash Montana with much thanks
From PI News:
The police have successfully averted the danger of an armed man in the Theater complex Kinopolis. The man was shot. According to information the guns were ‘alarm guns’ (fake). Now his identity is being established.*
A man was shot at a special police intervention in the south hessian town of Viernheim. Towards 14:45 an emergency call was made to the Police station Southhessian, whereby a masked and armed man was seen at the Theater complex Kinopolis.
Apparently he had threatened employees with a machine gun, then he shot four shots, and entered the fully occupied theater. According to a young cinema employee who activated the silent alarm, the offender was 18 to 22 years old, and about 1.75 meters tall.
He had made a somewhat confused impression, the hessian minister of the inner Peter Beuth (CDU) has said. Four shots were fired, and hostages were also within the “influence area of the offender”, according to Beuth’s information. From what has been found so far the weapons of the attacker were fake guns. From the about 30 people in the cinema nobody was injured.
Nobody could give any information about the identity of the offender so far. He didn’t carry any ID papers. There is no hint towards an islamic background, the police has said. The motives have to first be found, as soon as the identity of the man has been established. The office of the district attorney Darmstadt and the Hessian regional Office of Criminal Investigation have picked up the investigation.
Special police forces from Frankfurt were on location within a very short time. Apparently they were flown to the site via helicopter. When the police entered the theater room, the attacker was killed. Towards 18:00 the operation was over.
The police has established a gag order. One hospital in Darmstadt announced that they had activated their emergency plan. They were prepared for multiple injured people.
[there will be more to this story.. Waiting for translation on exactly what the “gag order” is]
Dispute about bathing rules in Saxony, Refugee hostel next to Nudist camp: Nudists indignant as they are supposed to cover up
An original translation by Egri Nok
From this German news site:
The planned establishment of a refugee hostel in Saxony has caused a stir among the 400 members of the local nudist club.
Now the nudists of the Volkersdorf Forest Pond are on the barricades. Cause they are supposed to cover up when they want to bathe in the future.
The members of the Family Sports- and Nudist-Club, Waldteichfreunde Moritzburgì, have been enjoying the Nudist culture at the Upper Forest Pond in Volkersdorf since 1905. However, the construction of the refugee camp in sight of the nude swimming area of the Club now causes resentment. The club called upon the country to provide funds for a privacy screen.
But instead, the German Society for Bathing Matters sent them the pool rules, Bild newspaper reports. Rule number nine states: The usage of the swimming bath is only permitted in swimwear. The billboards are laminated and features this point in German, Albanian, Arabic and Persian language.
The Nudists are shocked. They want to decide for themselves what they do on their own premises. The club therefore refuses to display these rules.
Bathing Matters spokesman Joachim Heuser threatens: “If the club changes the rules, they will not be allowed to advertise with our logo anymore”, he tells Bild.
In the dispute about the rules the district is showing good will towards the Nudists: they will provide the required privacy shield at the refugee center.

A short demonstration of Islamic logic
In the past many years this site has been up, we have posted, and even produced many examples of weaponized language by Islam and their fellow travelers, cultural-Marxists.
We even produced a series of videos on it, one of which is linked here.
But this one needs its own post as its such a classical example of an entry level logical fallacy it would be funny if the stakes were not life and death for many of us.
The fallacy has to do with how a logical argument is constructed.
Here is a philosophy 101 example:
Premise: All trees are plants
Argument: all plants are green
Conclusion: Trees are green
This would be correct. If all plants are green, and if all trees are plants, then it must follow that all trees are green.
The fact that the premise is wrong, that not all plants are green, does not change the validity of the argument. If the premise is correct then so is the conclusion.
large set ‘plants’ = green. Subset trees included in large set ‘plants’. Therefore trees, the subset share attribute of larger set.
But here is one that doesn’t work:
Premise: All trees are green.
Argument: Trees are plants
Conclusion: All plants are green.
Of course this doesn’t follow because the larger set does not have to share attributes with the subset. If all trees are green then all trees are green. That doesn’t tell us anything about the larger set plants.
There are other ways that the equation can be done incorrectly or to lead to a false conclusion. But lets look at the way one authoritative Muslim leader, a professor actually, used the formula in Turkey:
“Salah [prayer] is not done by animals. Those who do not do salah are animals.” — Turkish Professor Mustafa Askar, School of Divinity, Ankara University
So:
Islamic prayer is not done by animals
Non believers do not do Islamic prayer
Therefore non-believers are animals.
This is the kind of reasoning that gets hundreds of millions of people murdered over the centuries.
The fact that this equation also makes rocks, stars, plants, galaxies, the crud found stuck under tables at diners also “animals” doesn’t matter once you abandon reason.
Here is an example of how a related logical formula could work:
Premise: Ice cream sandwiches melt in the sun
Argument: Rocks do not melt in the sun
Conclusion: Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them

Trying to make sense of the deceptions of the US state department concerning the Orlando shooting
Clearly this report his HEAVILY censored. We all know he said Allah and not god. We all know he said Mohamed as opposed to the “prophet of God”.
This is art, not information.
As you watch the video above, I would ask people to also consider the material in this video we made some few years ago and collate it into the material in the video above, and see if it leads to a conclusion.
