An original translation by Nash Montana with much thanks

From this German publication

About a week after the Silvester [NYE] attacks in Cologne the police has arrested two suspects. According to the magazine FOCUS the two suspects are North africans, who had threatening notes with them.

Shortly after midnight a police control stopped the two suspects and noticed that they had with them video of the Silvester attacks on their cell phones.

Additionally the police found notes in the suspects’ pockets. On these notes were arabic words written down and next to them, in german translation, the words such as : “I kill you”, and “I want to fuck big tits”. Also the french word “Surprise” was written down on one note, including the german translation “surprise”. The police suspects that the notes were written down in an organized effort in a night full of robing and sexual attacks to target women. According to investigator’s informations there seemed to have been a hard core of about 180 males that are responsible for the attacks.

Slovakian PM Fico Intensifies Anti-Refugee Rhetoric

An original translation by Nash Montana with much thanks

From this German news service

The incidents at Cologne NYE have also influenced the refugee debate. The Slovakian Prime Minister Fico now has declared that he will not let any more muslims into his country. He sees the European Welcome Culture as an utter failure.

As a reaction to the incidents in Cologne, Slovakia has announced, that they will not take in any more muslim refugees “The european multicultural society has failed”, explained Robert Fico, Slovakia’s Minister President. His administration will not tolerate muslim communities in Slovakia.

The Prime Minister feels all his positions to be confiemd. He sees his hard line stance about asylum- and refugee politics as correct. After the Cologne incidents there is simply no alternative, Fico explains: “We do not want that Slovakia will have to endure a similar predicament as Cologne. That someone who lives and thinks completely different can just go and harass our women openly in public.”

A Multicultural Europe is not Conceivable

It borders to a lunatic imagination that refugees with a different religion could be integrated easy. The European Welcomeculture has failed – the Social Democrat Fico says. “The Slovakian administration is convinced. The thought of a multicultural Europe is simply not feasible. It is fiction. It can’t be transformed into real life.”

He says there is a clear connection between the wave of refugees, the attacks in Paris and the violence in Cologne. That the EU has gravely, underestimated the risk. He has, therefore, always been against and defended his position on the compulsory refugee quota coming out of Brussels. And it is this clear path that he will pursue in the future as well, and moreover, “we will on a voluntary basis not make any supporting decisions which would allow the development of a muslim community in Slovakia.”

Only 169 Asylum Requests in Slovakia

In the past few weeks Slovakia only received 149 Syrian Christians from an Iraqi refugee camp voluntarily. Apart from that the small EU country has so far barely been affected by the refugee crisis.

In all of the year 2015 only 169 refugees were applying for asylum. Eight of these applications were granted. Slovakia had filed a complaint at the European Court in Luxembourg against the compulsory refugee quota in the dispersement of refugees in Europe.

At the beginning of March Slovakians will vote for a new Parliament. According to poll studies the Social-Democratic party of President Robert Fico can safely rely on their reelection. And mid-2016 Slovakia will take over the EU council presidency in Brussels

 

Zurich police investigate New Year sexual assaults, no link to German cases

(I have it on good authority that these attacks also took place in the Swiss border cities of Basel and Geneva)

From Trust.Org

ZURICH, Jan 7 (Reuters) – About six women in Zurich have reported being sexually molested and robbed during New Year’s Eve celebrations after being surrounded by groups of men, police said in a statement on Thursday.

Zurich police said the attacks resembled incidents in Germany on the same evening but that they did not know of any concrete links between the cases.

About 90 women reported being robbed, threatened or sexually molested at New Year celebrations outside Cologne’s cathedral by young, mostly drunk men, police there said.

Additional incidents, but on a lesser scale, have been reported in Hamburg.

Zurich police said initially there were about 24 separate reports of theft at celebrations along the city’s lakefront. Follow-up investigations showed several cases involved women being fondled on top of their clothing, they said.

This would be four countries now. Germany, Finland, (unsuccessful) Austria and Switzerland. This has to have been organized at a level where if governments did not know about it, they need to be dissolved and replaced with one that looks after the interests of the indigenous peoples of these nations. And if they did, the explanation for why it wasn’t stopped had better be stellar.

Apparently Gang Rape

This is an original translation by Nash Montana with much thanks

From this German news site

Germany: A group of young men, according to SWR information, has gangraped two under age girls on Silvester night [New Yeas Eve] in Weil am Rhein.

The State prosecution of the district Lörrach has not yet made an official statement pertaining to this incident.

The two girls, ages 14 and 15, were raped multiple times, according to information received by SWR.

Four suspects are remanded in custody. They are young men from Syria aged from 16 to 20 years old.

Sex-Mob also rampaged in Austria

An original translation by Nash Montana

From this German language website:

Germany is in a state of shock. Now in Austria as well victims are breaking their silence.

“One guy took my friend in a choke hold. He kissed her and licked her face.” Sabrina S. (name changed) is still in shock (see interview below). On December 26th she and her friends went to visit a new Club in the historic district of Salzburg. On their way home the young women were attacked at around 2 am by a gang of ten to fifteen foreign young men.

Warning on Facebook

The friends sent off a warning via Facebook. “To all girls. Please be very careful, if you’re walking in girl groups or alone in the Salzburg historical district.” The friends didn’t report the incident. “We just were not aware about the bigger picture and greater scope of this attack.”

Robert Holzleitner from the office of the district attorney Salzburg, confirmed: “There are many reports because of sexual attacks.” He did not disclose any detailing numbers.

The Salzburg Police has knowledge of incidents like the one Sabrina S. has experienced. Why are these incidents not reported by the victims? “Those are sex crimes. The protection of victims is very important”, says speaker of the Police Valerie Hillebrand. That there is political pressure to conceal sex crimes committed by young foreigners, is not the case.

Vienna: Another Sex-Mob rioting

Vienna also was affected. One reader reported of incidents on the Calafati Plaza at Silvester night: Young women were groped, harassed and molested by foreign men. According to the police, there are no reports filed.

In Cologne there have been made over 100 reports by victims so far. Yesterday the first three offenders were arrested. Germany is in a state of shock after the attacks were first omitted by the media. The ZDF admitted that it was a mistake, not to report about this topic from the get go.

*Victim Sabrine S.: “We were completely at the mercy of these men”

ÖSTERREICH: What happened that night?

Sabrina: We were on our way from the Griesgasse headed to the Staatsbrücke, when about 15 meters ahead of us, a group of men started to scream and began to walk towards us. Everything went so fast, and we didn’t have any time to react. But we instinctively realized that they were going to cross a red line.

ÖSTERREICH: Were you hurt?

Sabrina: I wasn’t, I was all the way in the front. But my two friends were held down by the men. They still tried to force the men to leave them alone, but it was to no avail. They were overpowered. One of my friends then was taken into a choke hold, her face disappeared in his jacket. He then started to force kiss her and he licked her face up and down. She said that at that point she didn’t have any strength left to try and free herself, she was completely at his mercy.

ÖSTERREICH: How did you manage to help them?

Sabrina: I walked towards them and I took the hand of the guy who had my friend in the chokehold, and I just grabbed his hand and pushed it away. She then managed to punch him with her fist right between his legs. But everything went so fast. And our other friend was also being held, though hey didn’t touch her as close as that.

ÖSTERREICH: Did you call the police?

Sabrina: No, because we just weren’t aware of the full scope of this incident. And we were really shook up. But once we published the whole thing on Facebook, that’s when we finally started to realize that this was a problem much larger and that so many more girls and women were affected by these attacks and went through similar attacks. Many wrote me that they too were being harassed and molested in the same spot, or by the train station or by the Makartsteg. One girl told me, that during the Silvester night she nearly got dragged away by a gang of men in front of the townhall. But some people who were passing by helped her free herself. And anyway, we can’t even give a description of the offenders.

How a Doorman Experienced the Horror Night in Cologne

An original translation by Nash Montana with much thanks

From this German news site

It all started right around 19:00 hours: “Groups of 6, of 10, and of 12 North Africans. I have never seen anything like it in my life before,” says Ivan Jurcevic. “They looked like a real army.” Jurcevic has been a doorman since 1989. Every year at Silvester [German for New Years Eve]  he protects the entrance to the Hotel Excelsior in Cologne. The hotel is located to the west of the dome within eye sight.

“They came with beer- and schnapps bottles in hand. Most of them were already staggering”, he remembers.

“Come with me*

Problems immediately started: hotel guests who were smoking cigarettes outside in front of the entrance, were verbally accosted: “Give me cigarette”, they muttered. “Come with me”, they loudly propositioned women.

At the exact same time, Peter Erkelenz and his wife were walking across the Dome plaza. Erkelenz is the brother of CDU city council member Martin Erkelenz. He calls himself an original Cologne native. He was wondering about the mass of Arabic speaking young men. The mood was aggressive. Erkelenz got worried and he and his wife quickly moved away from the Dome plaza.

As at around 22:00 hours the situation escalated completely at the Dome plaza, fireworks and light rockets were fired into the crowds, and east of the Dome, the owner of the bar “Kunstbar” Paolo Campi, was watching: “It was totally anti social,” he says. “There’s always chaos in front of the dome on silvester every year. If it was worse this year, it’s hard to tell.” He also can’t tell if it was mostly North Africans who caused the chaos.

But where Ivan Jurcevic was standing in front of the Hotel Excelsior, things got increasingly bad: “Two women came running, they were fleeing a mob of North Africans and asked him for help.

I’m not one to be tangled with

The men in pursuit of the two women threatened the experienced martial arts trainer: “I am 1:98 meters tall and weigh 130 kilo. I am not the kind of guy you want to mess with”, the otherwise calm, collected and friendly Jurcevic mentions.

When one of the pursuing men attacked him, he drop kicked the man off his feet and then immediately retreated inside the hotel. The men came closer. “So I got back out, kicked one in the chest so that he flew back three meters. After that they retreated”, said the Croatian who’s lived in Germany for 40 years.

As the attackers retreated they verbally threatened him: “We will come back and ice you”, they called to him in English. At that point the director of the hotel had already told all guests not to stand in front of the doors anymore for a smoke. The guests accumulated on the first floor and we’re watching the chaos with horror written in their eyes.

Rioters were beating each other up

Meanwhile, a police force of a hundred showed up. Jurcevic could see, how they were shot at with fireworks. Even the police forces seemed to be intimidated.

After midnight: Several fights in front of the hotel had broke out. Jurcevic observed one knife fight. The arabic north africans seemed to also chase black africans that came from countries south of the Sahara.

The rioters were also fighting amongst each other: In front of Jurcevics eyes they saw how one man was beaten with a bottle until he passed out. When the man with the bottle started to kick the passed out man’s head, Jurcevic and a doorman from the neighboring restaurant stepped in.

No time for filing police complaints

Police walked up, and arrested the man – only to let him go again in a few minutes, because all of the police jail vans were hopelessly overfilled. As a goodbye, the man spit on the squad car’s window. “Fuck the police”, he yelled Jurcevic in the face. Jurcevic lost his nerves and punched the man to the ground.

At 1:30 in the morning, Peter Erkelenz and his wive left their Silvester party they were attending. They wanted to take the subway to get home. But the subway at the main train station was closed.

There was a police woman that stood right in front of Erkelenz. Suddenly a man jumped her from behind, grabbed for the pocket inside her coat, then fled. She gave chase and managed to wrestle him to the ground. Then she lectured him. And that was it. There was too much chaos to make arrests or police reports, the cops had to put out too many fires all at once.

Erkelenz then learned why the subway wasn’t operating: dozens of men were walking on the tracks, attacked subway passengers, and were chased around by the police. The subway was not gonna operate anymore that night. Erkelenz and his wife, who got out of the chaos without getting hurt, took the street car instead.

“I was very afraid”, Erkelenz said. “Especially now that our annual Spring Festival is coming up, and what all could happen then.”

It was only between five and six in the morning that the chaos started to die down. The vandalizing men started to disappear. Only a few drunks stayed behind. In the meantime, the police had gotten the first nauseating police reports of women who were molested and harassed. One woman was raped. Many didn’t immediately go to the police because they were in shock. It took until Tuesday that 90 reports were registered. Apparently only a handful of perpetrators have been arrested.

Women must keep “an arm’s length” distance to foreigners

An original translation by Nash Montana

From this German Webpage: RP-Online.De

Cologne’s Mayor, Henriette Reker has met with Cologne Police president Wolfgang Albers and Wolfgang Wurm from the Federal police at a crisis meeting. They spoke about preventive measures, so that large events in the future wouldn’t end up like Silvester [New Years Eve] night. There will be “behavioral regulations” – especially for women in the upcoming festival.

With a catalogue of behavioral regulations and a new regulation that in the future large events without any official organizer or operator, shall have security concepts available in order, to prevent that attacks and incidents like the ones at Silvester will not become the new norm.

“It is important to make sure that such incidents not ever happen again”, says Reker tuesday after the crisis meeting with the investigating police. “We have in the meantime heard that such incidents also happened in other cities. This of course is no consolidation to us.” Among others, Hamburg had to deal with similar riots.

“Behavioral regulations” for Festival goers. 

“In the future, situations have to be assessed differently” it was said. “The first thing is to concentrate on preventive measures, which will then be applied immediately for the upcoming Cologne Carnival. Additionally, there shall be ‘behavioral regulations’ for young girls and women, “so that they will not experience such things again”, says Reker in reference to the sexual attacks during Silvester night. There is already a behavioral catalogue which will now be actualized and soon be available online.

One of the regulations is, that women shall hold an arms length distance to foreigners, that they stay within their own groups, don’t separate from that group, and in an emergency that they ask surrounding people for help and to step in as witnesses or inform the police.

Additionally there will be behavioral regulations for Carnivalists “from other cultural circles”, so that “there will be no confusion as to what constitutes jovial and cheerful fun in Cologne, and what openness, especially sexual openness, means and does not mean, in Cologne.” But if through such regulations future incidents can be prevented, is questionable.

Police plans video surveillance and restricted access

Next to the planning of temporary video surveillance there also will be new regulations in reference to the planning of large events. “In the future large concepts without an organizer shall also have a better security concept”, says Reker. The city of Cologne could then for instance become the defacto event organizer.

The German league of cities and towns, criticized that the police during silvester night had not intervened with enough man power. President Roland Schäfer demanded that in the future, commanding police shall be on location in “full preparedness”, when there are large events. For the upcoming Carnival and especially for the upcoming “Altweiber” (European wide Women’s festival, precursor a day prior to the actual festival events), there shall be more uniformed and civil police on duty, says Police president Wolfgang Albers. And additionally it will be checked that already known criminals and pick pockets can be served with a restraining order to keep them off event property.

No knowledge so far about the identity of the perpetrators

According to the police president Albers, there has in the meantime still no knowledge been gathered as to the identity of the perpetrators. Granted, a few suspects had been checked, but if they really are the guilty parties or not, one can not say. With this Albers has basically contradicted his own statement from yesterday. Some suspects are according to information of the editor already known by the police.

Concerning Saudi/Sunni – Iranian/Shiia escalation

1. Iran reveals ‘missile city’ bunker for new weapons

A still image from newly released footage of Iran’s so-called ‘missile city’ (Tasnim)

Iran’s military has revealed a secret underground “missile city” used to store a new generation of ballistic missiles which the US claims are “nuclear capable” and whose test-firing last year broke a UN resolution.

The Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) on Tuesday released pictures and video of the underground bunker after a visit by Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani.

Iran’s Tasnim news agency said the bunker, which it dubbed a “missile city”, stores the Emad ballistic missile, which has a range of 2,000km and was first successfully tested on 10 October. The US says the missiles are advanced enough to be fitted with nuclear warheads

2. A comparatively heavy explosion rocked Jalalabad city on Tuesday morning.

According to initial reports, it was a planted bomb that went off in the third sector of the city. The explosion site is close to the consulates of India, Pakistan and Iran.

“The blast took place due to a bomb placed in a garbage can close to Baet Nika mosque in Arzaq alley located in third sector of Jalalabad city at 11:20 am today,” states a post on the official facebook page of Nangarhar Media Center states. “It did not have casualties,” the press release adds.

(May be anti-India and not part of the escalation. Not sure)

3. Iran President Criticizes Saudi Arabia Over Severing Ties

Iran’s president said on Tuesday that Saudi Arabia cannot “cover up” its crime of executing a leading Shiite cleric by severing diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic, even as the kingdom’s allies began limiting their links to his country.

President Hassan Rouhani’s comments came as Kuwait announced it had recalled its ambassador to Iran over attacks on Saudi diplomatic missions in the Islamic Republic.

The execution last weekend of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, a Shiite cleric and opposition figure in Saudi Arabia, has heightened the Saudi-Iran regional rivalry, threatening to derail already shaky peace efforts over the wars in Syria and Yemen.

A statement posted on his official website said Rouhani discussed the current diplomatic dispute with visiting Danish Foreign Minister Kristian Jensen.

“The Saudi government has taken a strange action and cut off its diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran to cover its crimes of beheading a religious leader in its country,” Rouhani said. “Undoubtedly, such actions can’t cover up that big crime.”

4. ABC News is running a sort of live blog here with video and text on the issue. The initial link spoke of the cutting of Bahrain Halts Flights to and From Iran. It has moved on to newer events.

5. BBC: Iran-Saudi Arabia row: Kuwait recalls ambassador from Tehran

(It must be tough on the BBC not knowing which side to lie for. Unless of course, they do)

Kuwait has announced it is recalling its ambassador to Iran as a regional row over the execution of a Shia cleric in Saudi Arabia deepens.

Saudi Arabia’s embassy in Tehran was ransacked and set alight on Saturday, after it executed Shia Muslim cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr and 46 others.

Saudi Arabia broke off diplomatic ties with Iran in response, followed on Monday by its allies Bahrain and Sudan.

The US, UN and Turkey are among those calling for calm in the region.

Sunni Muslim Saudi Arabia and Shia Iran are major rivals for power in the Middle East and back opposing sides in the conflicts in Syria and Yemen.

6. Bahrain: Tear gas and fireworks fly as clashes erupt over al-Nimr execution

Bahrain Security forces used tear gas against protesters in the town of Nuwaidrat, Monday, as protesters came out to decry the execution of Saudi Arabia’s execution of top Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr.
Protesting the killing of the cleric which has sparked unrest around the Middle East, the demonstrators were confronted by police and army forces. Wearing gas masks, the protesters, threw fireworks and Molotov cocktails at the security forces’ vehicles.

7. Iran-Saudi sectarian proxy wars set to explode, Israeli experts say

(This is a truly terrible thing)

Saudi Arabia’s execution of Shi’ite cleric Nimr al-Nimr seems likely to escalate sectarian Sunni- Shi’ite violence in the Middle East, experts told The Jerusalem Post on Monday.

Gulf Sunni states, with the exception of independent- minded Oman, are expected to publicly back the Saudis, while Shi’ite-dominated Iraq and allied Syria back Iran.

“The Shia Sunni conflict is boiling,” Eliezer “Geizi” Tsafrir, a former Arab affairs adviser to the prime minister and senior Mossad and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) official, who is currently a fellow at the Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT) at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC), Herzliya, told the Post.

“Backed by petro-dollars and aggressiveness” revolutionary Iran is supporting its allies throughout the region and the “Sunni world is terribly afraid of the Iranian threat, perhaps dreaming that the US or Israel will do the job,” Tsafrir said.

8. Pakistan: Effigies of Iranian leaders set alight by Saudi sympathisers

(Nice of them to use English signs in a land where they hate to the point of wishing genocide on all English speaking peoples)

Dozens of Pakistani supporters of Saudi Arabia burnt effigies of Iranian leaders in Peshawar, on Tuesday. The protest comes amid heightened tension between predominantly Sunni Saudi Arabia and majority Shia Iran over the former’s execution of prominent cleric Shia Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr.
The protesters were from the Pakistan Right Path Party (PRHP), a Sunni political group with strong ties to Saudi Arabia. Leader of the PRHP, Muhammad Ibrahim Qasmi, defended the execution of al-Nimr, stating Saudi Arabia executed “the terrorist” in accordance with “the law and Sharia.”

9. Yemen war intensifies amid mounting regional tension

By Mohammed Mukhashaf

ADEN (Reuters) – Air strikes led by Saudi Arabia targeting Iran-allied Houthi forces intensified in Yemen on Tuesday, residents said, ending weeks of a relative lull in the war after a major diplomatic row erupted between the kingdom and arch foe Tehran.

Large air strikes targeted military positions linked to Yemen’s ascendant Houthis in the capital Sanaa, the port city of Hodaida and the disputed southwestern city of Taiz.

Residents reported that the air raids hit a care center for the blind and Yemen’s chamber of commerce headquarters, in which there were no casualties.

Heavy shelling resumed on battle fronts which had been largely static during a truce which began on Dec. 15 in tandem with United Nations-backed peace talks.

Houthi fighters launched Katyusha rockets at the city of Marib, residents said, their first attack on the area since Gulf Arab troops and armed loyalists of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi seized it from the group over the summer.

10. New Saudi-Iran crisis threatens wider escalation

RIYADH (Reuters) – The last time Saudi Arabia broke off ties with Iran, after its embassy in Tehran was stormed by protesters in 1988, it took a swing in the regional power balance in the form of Saddam Hussein’s 1990 invasion of Kuwait to heal the rift.

It is hard to see how any lesser development could resolve the region’s most bitter rivalry, which has underpinned wars and political tussles across the Middle East as Riyadh and Tehran backed opposing sides.

Riyadh’s expulsion of Iran’s envoy after another storming of its Tehran embassy, this time in response to the Saudi execution of Shi’ite Muslim cleric Nimr al-Nimr, raised the heat again, making the region’s underlying conflict even harder to resolve.

At the heart of the new crisis is Saudi Arabia’s growing willingness to confront Iran and its allies militarily since King Salman took power a year ago, say diplomats, choosing with his son, Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, to abandon years of backroom politics.

Thank you Wrath of Khan, M., Richard and all. More to come. Order the pizza now.
