Germany: Top Islamic Lobbyist Makes Revealing Tweet

Posted on by

A top Islamic lobbyist in Germany is boasting about his excellent connections to the German establishment in a series of tweets.
He isn’t just an ordinary guest on the party convention of Merkel’s CDU that is taking place today:

“We are guests of honor on all conventions of our democratic parties in Germany, and on the #cdupt18 [CDU party convention 2018]”

(source: Aiman Mazyek on Twitter, Feb. 26, 10:09 AM CET)

The clause “all conventions of democratic parties” appears to be a dig at the Islam-critical party AfD (Alternative für Deutschland), who do not invite Islamic lobbyists to their conventions. Mr. Mazyek seems to imply here that only a non-democratic party would not have him as a guest of honor.

The AfD now come second strongest in opinion polls in Germany, while the two established, and traditionally largest parties, Merkel’s CDU and the SPD, have seen their historic lows in the recent elections.
Nevertheless, they have been in negotations for weeks now to form another ‘Grand Coalition’ government for the next 4 years, while the AfD is the strongest oppositional party in the Bundestag.

SPD and CDU’s mutual government declaration of last week included the statement of intent to fight “anti-Islamic sentiments”, a first-time in a German government declaration.

Aiman Mazyek is chair of the ZMD, Council of Muslims in Germany, a frequent talk show guest, and not just the German mainstream media’s darling:

His organization ZMD was founded as recent as 1994, their name mimicking the long-established ZJD, Council of Jews in Germany.

Organizationally, Mr. Mazyek’s ZMD is an umbrella organization for Islamic groups in Germany, including a thinly veiled German branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Some researchers deem the ZMD as a whole a covert Muslim Brotherhood organization. The Muslim Brotherhood is banned as a terrorist organization in Germany.

Another tweet by Mr. Mazyek earlier indicates what to expect from the new German government:

“Guest at the #cdupt18 [CDU party convention 2018] … met the designated integration minister Anette Widman-Mauz – looking forward to the cooperation.”

A new city, populated by welfare recipients, for Germany each year

Posted on by

The German coalition partners agreed to let in “only” 220,000 migrants per year. The folllowing is an original translation of a sarcastic op-ed at Achse des Guten:

Grand Coalition imports welfare city – each year

Katharina Szabo
January 15, 2018

One of the „killer“ obstacles, that was now cleared out-of-the-way in the exploratory negotiations of the old and new government was the question of migration to Germany. The refugee crisis was over, they let it be known today, the government regained control. A situation like 2015 would not repeat, SPD and Union [CDU + CSU] promised.

And they can. The right-wing-populist hellholes Hungary and Austria will, just like in previous years, see to that. At the most, so the reassuring message, from now on no more than 220,000 migrants per year may enter, to forever settle in our social security system.

How did they arrive at this number? Why 220,000 people, one might ask, why exactly this number? „We agree that our society’s capability to integrate should not be overstrained“, declared the future coalition partners the set maximum limit. So this means that our society can integrate this number of migrants each year, without being overstrained. We are a people of roughly 83 million people, so 220,000 more per year should carry no weight. We can do this, can’t we?

Regensburg has about 150,000 inhabitants. Erfurt a bit more than 200,000. Freiburg has got about 230,000 inhabitants. This seems about right.

You can rely on Merkel, Schulz and Seehofer
So, in order to keep up the current status quo regarding inner safety, administration, public transport, housing, education, health care, roads, etc., and to be able to easily integrate 220,000 migrants per year and not only integrate them, but also house them, school them, feed them, and care for them in case of illness, we will only have to do the following:

Each year, we will build a new city, of the size of Freiburg, supply it with housing, hospitals, schools, public transport, police offices, kindergartens, recreational parks, sports areas, social welfare offices and the corresponding staff. We can do this. Our future government will surely have thoroughly thought this through, it can’t be that they made the number up from thin air.

Some naysayers and xenophobes might feel doubts at this point. A city of the size of Freiburg? Inhabited by welfare recipients? Each year? Is that possible? Of course it is. Merkel, Schulz and Seehofer did the maths. How else would they say that the limit of what is possible was exactly 220,000 new arrivals per year, without any sort of overstraining resulting from it?

To claim that the number of 220,000 came about because this was about the number of people who come anyway, with a little bit of room, and that Merkel, Schulz and Seehofer weren’t doing anything while they pretend they were busy –
and to claim that no one had thought it through if it was possible to get a welfare Freiburg straight each year, without having your hut on fire in about 10 years – to say so, even to think so, would be just a malicious assumption. Seriously.

PS: if it stays the envisaged 220,000. The European Parliament wants to change the Dublin rule: family reunification is to be prioritized.

“Wir schaffen das”, we can do this, is a sentence that Angela Merkel famously said on the Federal Press Conference on August 31., 2015, regarding the refugee crisis and the intake of migrants. The sentence, which she repeated a few times since, has become the icon of German “Willkommenskultur”, welcome culture.

Germany: A Government, Failing The Minimum Requirements Of Humanity

BERLIN – It took chancellor Merkel one year to meet the survivors and the families of the victims of the Berlin Christmas Market terror attack at last.

Parts of the German press have found unusually strong words for her conduct and the statement that she made. Watch her statement on video, and read on for the commentaries.

Below are a full translation from Cicero, and a translation from n-tv in excerpts.

Remembrance at Breitscheidplatz

A Disruption Of Business Operations

By Alexander Kissler, Dec. 19, 2017

One year ago, there was an Islamist attack on Berlin Breitscheidplatz that took twelve lives. At the memorial service, it became clear: Angela Merkel can’t speak, because she has got nothing to say. She offers empathy under reserve.

Berlin: Police Remove Identitarians’ Memorial for Christmas Market Jihad

Posted on by

Berlin – Police are removing a memorial by the Identitarian Movement, Identitäre Bewegung, for the victims of the Berlin Christmas Market jihad attack, which killed 12 and wounded 70, a year ago to the day. After the removal, unknown people improvised a second “illegal” memorial (last photo).

l. to r.: “No victim will be forgotten.” “To the victims of Islamist terror.” “Paris, Brussels, Manchester, Berlin, Nice, Barcelona.”

“Victim of multiculti”

Second, improvised memorial, after the first one was removed.

 

Berlin: Angela Merkel makes a “spontaneous” Gesture

Germany: FDP Abort Coalition Negotiations, Merkel Plunges Into Crisis

Posted on by

BREAKING: FDP announce that they abort coalition negotiations.
This pushes Merkel into the deepest crisis of her 12 year career.

Berlin: „It is better not to govern, than to govern wrong“, said FDP chief Christian Lindner to the press around midnight local time.

Angela Merkel “deeply regrets” the FDP’s decision to abort negotiations.

Angela Merkel said in the early Monday morning hours that she deeply regretted the FDP’s decision. She still believed that it would have been possible to find a compromise with the Greens on the controversial topic of refugees.

But FDP chief Christian Lindner said that, while it would have been possible to find common grounds with the CDU (Merkel) and CSU, the differences between FDP and Greens were just irreconcilable.

FDP chief Christian Lindner (right) aborts coalition negotiations around midnight.

The central contentious point was until Sunday night the topic of migration [i.e. refugees]. CSU and FDP demand a curb of migration, while the Greens oppose that and demand (on top of that) “family reunification” for hundreds of thousands of Syrians in Germany.

The only possible scenario remains a so-called “minority government” with either CDU and the Greens or CDU and the FDP. Such scenario would represent barely 40% of the voters. A “Minority Government” needs permission by the other Factions though. Observers think it is virtually impossible that Merkel would risk this.

The pack is reshuffled.

We at Vlad have been predicting this from the moment the results came in on September 24.

As a reminder, the result of the Bundestag Elections 2017, Sept. 24:

Merkel said in the early morning hours that she intended „to lead the country through the difficult weeks“ that lie ahead.

Karl Lagerfeld: “You can’t kill millions of Jews, and then later bring millions of their worst enemies into the country”

Posted on by

Paris – In an interview on French TV, Karl Lagerfeld said that

“Even if there are decades in between – you can’t kill millions of Jews, and then later bring millions of their worst enemies into the country.”

He suspected that Merkel probably wanted to improve her “image as a wicked stepmother” dating from the Greek government debt crisis.

The interviewer wanted to know if Lagerfeld thought that Merkel wanted to excuse her actions in the Greek crisis by taking in so many refugees. And if she wanted to show that Germany, after what had happened in the Second World War, finally now was a welcoming country.

Lagerfeld replied:

“Yes, but I will now say something terrible: You can’t, even if there are decades in between, kill millions of Jews, and then later bring millions of their worst enemies into the country.”

He illustrated his assessment with a personal experience:

“I know a German lady, who took in a young Syrian, who spoke a bit of English. After four days – do you know what he said to the lady? ‘The best invention that Germany ever made was the Holocaust!’ I can tell you that one moment later, he found himself out on the street. What a horror!”

The interview was broadcast last Saturday, Nov. 11. Allegedly, the TV station is being showered with complaints since.

Karl Lagerfeld is the creative director of Chanel. A native of Hamburg, Germany, he went to Paris where he began working with fashion houses like Balmain and Chloé in the 1950s. Claudia Schiffer is his friend and muse. Some of his lesser known accomplishments are that he is a renowned photographer, and that he created the perfume Chloé for Women.
