Darmanin Orders the Protection of French Jews

The following translation came in a few days ago, but was delayed for various reasons. The news story was published after Iran attacked Israel, but before Israel’s retaliatory attack against Iran last night. The level of protection required to keep French Jews safe today must be enormous, given that at least 15% of the population of France is now Muslim.

Strikes against Israel: Darmanin asks for security reinforcement at places of worship and Jewish schools

April 14, 2024

At the approach of the Passover holidays, the Interior Minister has asked prefects to provide a “stationary and visible” police presence in front of places of worship and “the most sensitive and emblematic” buildings.

On Sunday, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin asked prefects to reinforce security in front of Jewish places of worship, as well as in front of religious schools, the day after the attack carried out by Iran against Israel and in anticipation of the Passover holidays. The minister is asking prefects to provide a “stationary and visible” presence of police in front of places of worship and “the most sensitive and emblematic” buildings.

“The security forces [police and Gendarmerie, editor’s note], of course, cannot carry out these missions alone,” the minister writes in a dispatch dated Sunday. “You will also need to requisition the Sentinel soldiers for this purpose,” he adds. On the approach of Passover, the Jewish Easter (22-30 April), he asks them to pay particular attention to the “religious services and gatherings that traditionally concentrate large numbers of people.”

“Stationary guards” and “ regular visits”

The Minister of Interior is also asking that “stationary guards be placed in front of religious schools beginning Monday, systematically, at the hours when pupils enter and leave.” Gerald Darmanin is also calling for the establishment of “regular visits by the police and Gendarmerie” at “specialized businesses”.

This decision was taken due to the “very high level of terrorist threat,” “the continuing high level of acts of an anti-Semitic character,” and “the persistence of tensions at the international level, including the attack by Iran upon Israel,” during the night between Saturday and Sunday, he detailed in the dispatch.

Germany belongs to Islam: CDU buckles

The CDU has once again managed to follow the example of its chairman Friedrich Merz and immediately cave in to any criticism from the Left. The new basic program from December initially said: “Muslims who share our values belong to Germany,” said the CDU’s draft program. This was actually a clear sentence, with a clear offer to Muslims that they are welcome if they follow the values of the country to which they came voluntarily. But of course it didn’t take long before the usual outrage from left-wing politicians, media and Islam lobbyists began. SPD leader Lars Klingbeil rambled on about the rhetorical exclusion of an entire population group, while Aiman Mazyek, the chairman of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany, accused the CDU of using the formulation to fish for the right-wing fringe of voters.

Over the weekend, the CDU weakened the sentence and reworded it in a complicated manner. “Muslims are part of the religious diversity of Germany and our society,” it now says. It was also added: “An Islam that does not share our values and rejects our free society does not belong to Germany.” But of course that wasn’t enough for Mazyek and Co., either. The new version is also “another attempt by the Christian Democratic Union to fish in murky waters in order to stigmatize Muslims.” [Nobody needs to stigmatize Muslims; they are perfectly capable of doing that themselves and show it DAILY, especially contempt for anyone outside Islam.] For him, “if at all,” only a formulation that addresses all worldviews and religious communities, rather than just to single out a specific one and mark it negatively”. SPD parliamentary group deputy Dirk Wiese explained that the program was “not a program for the future, but a journey into dusty yesterday.” In these “challenging times” “cohesion and mutual respect are needed more than ever”. But the Union is doing the opposite and “consciously pushing for a policy of prejudice”.

No prejudices, just unbiased bloody experiences

The fact that reservations about Islam are by no means prejudices, but rather the results of decades and even centuries of experience with Islam’s claim to total dominance and its ongoing intolerance, willingness to use violence and refusal to integrate, is naturally not communicable to the historically and culturally illiterate leftists. They would rather continue to wallow in their multi-cultural dream dance and hope for Muslim votes that they have long since lost forever among the local population. Even left-wing media, which are forcibly financed by the general public, such as Radio Bremen, which is part of the ARD, make fun of letting young Muslim women loose on passers-by to ask them whether Germans in Germany speak German, whether they are Christians, because they look German or whether they distance themselves from the — allegedly — right-wing attack in Hanau. A young woman actually declared: “As a German, I distance myself from German violence.” This shows how far left-wing indoctrination has already progressed, especially among young people. The Union simply cannot manage to finally take a clear stance and express people’s concerns.

According to a current INSA survey, 55% of Germans and even 21% of Muslims (!) fear the Islamization of Europe. However, the Union allows itself to be driven by leftists and figures like Mazyek and can only bring itself to use waxy, completely meaningless formulations regarding Islam. Thorsten Frei, the parliamentary secretary, claimed that the changes were “certainly not a stigma, but a clarification”. One is “not prepared to accept every form of Islam”. That’s why “a clear announcement is necessary here”. However, it remains to be seen exactly. The Union has nothing to offer apart from airy talk of a “leading culture” that “everyone who wants to live here must recognize without any ifs and buts”. They do not explain what exactly is meant by this dominant culture and what its cultural foundations are. [I rather doubt that they even know their own culture, these puppeticians are so far removed from reality that one can no longer blame their ideological retardation which made it possible for Islam to plant a beachhead again.]

Residence permits for rich Chinese and Arabs: major raid in eight federal states against traffickers

The Düsseldorf public prosecutor’s office arrested ten suspects in a large-scale raid against an international smuggling gang in eight federal states.

More than 1,000 federal police and public prosecutors have been involved in the operation since early morning. A total of 101 residential and business premises were searched, including two law firms, as the Federal Police Directorate in Sankt Augustin near Bonn reported on Wednesday.

According to Bild, the smuggling gang is said to have obtained permanent residence permits for around 350 Chinese and Arabs for up to €350,000 by taking advantage of special rules for foreign skilled workers. [I guess these people aren’t gynaecologists or plastic surgeons like all the others the German State smuggles in.] There were raids in North Rhine-Westphalia, Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Berlin, Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate, Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria.

The Emir of Sint-Joost Fails to Stop NatCon

Posted on by

The mayor of the Brussels municipality Sint-Joost-ten-Node is named Emir Kir. That tells you all you need to know: Brussels (at least that district) is ruled by an emir. It’s a province of the Caliphate.

Yesterday the police raided National Conservatism Conference (NatCon) in Sint-Joost on the orders of the mayor, in an attempt to shut the event down. However, they did not actually halt the conference. Judicial intervention allowed the proceedings to continue.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from the Flemish daily De Standaard:

Police raid during conservative congress blows up in the face of Mayor Kir

By sending the police to disrupt a congress of right-wing conservatives in Sint-Joost, Mayor Emir Kir gave those present the chance to make their point about structural censorship in front of the cameras. Premier De Croo also called Kir’s action “unacceptable”.

by Pieter Van Maele
April 17, 2024

“Belgium is bowing under the weight of sharia,” said the French radical-right politician, Éric Zemmour, Tuesday afternoon. “It is once again clear that in Brussels, a dissenting voice cannot be heard,” said Filip Dewinter (Vlaams Belang party). The Brexit advocate Nigel Farage said, “This undemocratic behavior has now convinced me that Brexit was the only correct choice.” Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian premier, tweeted that he was again reminded of his struggle against the communist regime in the 1980s. “We didn’t give up then, and we shouldn’t do that now.”

All four were supposed to take part in the National Conservatism Conference (NatCon) in Brussels on Tuesday and Wednesday, a two-day right-wing conservative congress. That was originally supposed to take place in a hall in Brussels-City until the manager got wind of the content and canceled the event. Then the organizers switched to Etterbeek, where the same thing happened. On Tuesday morning, they were forced to settle on Claridge Hall in Sint-Joost-ten-Node. The manager of the hall said that after “consultation with his lawyer,” he had decided the event could go forward.

Event not stopped

That was strictly against the wishes of Emir Kir (independent) the mayor of the Brussels municipality, who sent the police in Tuesday to put an “immediate” stop to the congress. He did that on the basis of a threat assessment by the anti-terrorist service Ocad, De Standaard learned, in which there was a warning of a possible disruption, not just by the right-wing event itself, but also by extreme leftist counter-demonstrators. “Racists are not welcome in Brussels, nor in Etterbeek, nor in Sint-Joost,” Kir also tweeted Tuesday.

Then around noon — Nigel Farage was speaking — a handful of police officers entered the hall, the meeting having been in progress for some hours. That took place literally behind closed doors. On the thickly-sealed roll-down shutters hung a note with the telephone number of someone in the organizing Mathias Corvinus Collegium, a right-wing think tank from Hungary.


Éric Zemmour stated to the press: “Belgium is bowing under the weight of sharia.”

The police did not completely stop the event. They did set up a cordon of about twenty riot police in front of the entrance to the hall. Whoever was outside the hall at that moment, like Zemmour, was not allowed back in by the officers. Inside, the congress went on virtually undisturbed.

The Road Back to Slavery

Our Hungarian correspondent László brings a European perspective to bear on the frame of mind that makes people long for slavery.


Escaped slaves, Cumberland Landing, Va., May 1862

The Road Back to Slavery

by László

I was reading this article about the American Civil War when I saw this picture of a group of “contrabands”. The site defines the word, in the context of the Civil War, as “a term used to describe freed or escaped slaves.”

Then it struck me that while they (in the picture) are halfway out of slavery, we seem to be halfway in.

Look at the picture: how disoriented, confused, purposeless these people seem to be. I searched for more pictures and they all look the same in all of them.

Actually it’s a specific phenomenon, what I call “prisoners’ nostalgia”, popularly known from the movie The Shawshank Redemption, in which long-time prison inmates become unable to function properly in society when they finally get out of jail, and hence they kind of long for their old “home”.

I conclude that capabilities for freedom (an inner capacity) are indispensable for living in liberty (an outer condition).

So again, ex-slaves apparently go through a state of disorientation, confusion and purposelessness. They’re obviously unable to live in, and with, liberty in that state of mind and level of education and life experience.

Now, what’s happening to the people of the West? With every new generation folks are becoming increasingly more disoriented, confused, purposeless: the exact condition in which people long for slavery and captivity. The point where they give up liberty for safety.

Artificial Intelligence vs. Artificial Ideology

Posted on by

In my limited experience, the online Artificial Intelligence assistants seem to be basically like Wikipedia — that is, when the topic is not political or otherwise fraught, they’re a good, coherent source of well-organized factual information. But as soon as the subject veers into sensitive politically correct areas — which are constantly expanding — the bots will shoehorn whatever they talk about into the Narrative, no matter how much they have to torque the facts.

The following report is from the European Institute for Climate and Energy (Europäisches Institut für Klima und Energie). Many thanks to Hellequin GB for the translation:

Artificial Intelligence vs. Artificial Ideology

by Prof. Dr. Klaus D. Döhler

Today I asked the artificial intelligence program ChatGPT some questions about CO2. If you ask the right question, you will get answers that make sense:

Question to ChatGPT: Why are aquariums gassed with CO2?

ChatGPT: Aquariums are often gassed with CO2 to provide the plants in the aquarium with additional carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is an important nutrient for plants, helping them grow and produce oxygen through photosynthesis. By adding CO2, aquarium plants can grow healthier and improve water quality.

Question to ChatGPT: Why would there be no life on earth without CO2?

ChatGPT: Without CO2 there would be no life on earth because carbon dioxide plays an essential role in the cycle of life. Plants need CO2 for photosynthesis, where they produce carbohydrates and release oxygen. Oxygen, in turn, is essential for breathing in animals, including humans. The carbon captured by photosynthesis in plants enters the food chains and webs and forms the basis for the entire ecosystem. Without CO2, this vital process would come to a standstill and life as we know it could not exist.

Question to ChatGPT: Which metabolic processes does CO2 stimulate in the human body?

ChatGPT: CO2 plays an important role in the metabolism of the human body, particularly related to the regulation of pH in the blood and tissues. When CO2 is created in the body, it reacts with water to form carbonic acid, which in turn affects pH. This pH value is crucial for the normal functioning of enzymes and other biochemical processes in the body.

Furthermore, CO2 plays an important role in the regulation of breathing. An increase in CO2 levels in the blood stimulates respiration, resulting in more CO2 being removed from the body to maintain normal pH and prevent CO2 accumulation in the blood.

In addition, CO2 is involved in other metabolic processes, such as: B. the regulation of hemoglobin in the blood, which transports oxygen, as well as the regulation of the acid-base balance and blood circulation.

Question to ChatGPT: Can humans survive without CO2?

ChatGPT: No, humans cannot survive without CO2. CO2 is a natural product of metabolism in the human body. It is produced as a byproduct of various metabolic processes, particularly respiration and the production of energy from nutrients. The body must remove the produced CO2 from the body through breathing, as a buildup of CO2 in the blood can lead to a shift in the acid-base balance and ultimately lead to life-threatening conditions. So CO2 is essential for the human organism, but excessive accumulation can be dangerous.

Question for ChatGPT: What would happen if you removed all CO2 from the air?

An Assyrian Christian Bishop, Mar Mari Emmanuel, was stabbed tonight during his sermon at Christ the Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley, a western suburb of Sydney, Australia. The attacker was a 15-year-old (some reports say 16-year-old) boy who shouted “Allahu Akhbar” during his attack. Early reports said that angry parishioners mobbed the assailant and cut off his fingers, but police later said that the disturbed youth had severed his own finger. The attacker is in custody, and the bishop is in the hospital in stable condition.

In other news, when Israeli forces from the Golani Brigade crossed the border into southern Lebanon, Hezbollah detonated explosive devices, wounding at least four Israeli soldiers.

An adolescent (13) attacked for not respecting Ramadan

In Achenheim, (Bas Rhin [Alsace]), a 13-year-old minor was beaten by four Muslim minors who reproached her for not respecting the Ramadan fast while getting off a bus going to their school. Accompanied by her father, the adolescent filed a complaint Tuesday afternoon for the acts of group violence.

April 9, 2024

The day before Eid-al-Fitr, the holiday marking the end of Ramadan, a female adolescent (13) was accosted by four minors in Achenheim (Bas-Rhin). On a bus heading to their school, she was accosted by four other pupils of the school who reproached her for not respecting the fast imposed by Ramadan. While getting off the bus, the victim, of North African origin, was beaten, according to our information from a judicial source. The adolescent was lightly injured, her face showing redness.

Complaint filed

After the attack the four minors, of Muslim faith, fled. As they are still in the process of being identified, the victim went to the police headquarters of Wolfisheim, accompanied by her father. She filed a complaint for the acts of group violence. With the matter in hand, the Gendarmerie brigade will begin an investigation.

Lounging at Ease in the Infidel Paradise

It’s been obvious for a long time that the “asylum seekers” who have infested Germany en masse since 2015 are parasites soaking up the wealth of the state — at least it’s obvious to anyone who isn’t hypnotized by government propaganda.

The latest official statistics confirm these grim conclusions: a full 40% of those who are permanently unemployed and subsisting on benefits are foreigners.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Junge Freiheit. The translator’s comments are in square brackets:

40% of the permanently unemployed are foreigners

Once again, migration policy is proving to be a failure. The background is figures on foreigners and unemployment published by the Federal Employment Agency. The AfD is calling for drastic consequences.

Berlin

Foreigners are greatly overrepresented among the permanently unemployed in Germany. Of the 1.5 million “employable benefit recipients” who have been receiving citizen’s benefit for at least five years, almost 40% do not have a German passport. [Well, the solution would be to give out more and faster German citizenship. Nancy Faeser needs to resign over this type of blatant “racism” against foreigners. Shame on her and the Ministry of Interior. Sarcasm off.] This was the result of a special evaluation by the Federal Employment Agency, which was commissioned by the labour and social policy spokesman for the AfD parliamentary group, René Springer. The proportion of foreigners in the total population in Germany is around 15%. Bild first reported on the evaluation.

As of June 2023, a total of around 3.9 million “employable benefit claimants” lived in Germany. This refers to unemployed people who could work but still receive what is now known as citizen’s benefits. 1.5 million of them have received basic security for at least five years. Of the 1.5 million, 948,076 were German (61.3%) and 599,230 were foreigners (38.7%).

The statistics also show that around 270,000 of these permanently unemployed people came from the top eight asylum countries of origin — Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iraq, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia and Syria. [They call it jizyah in those countries, if I’m not mistaken.]

AfD wants to cut off citizen’s allowance for foreigners

AfD social expert Springer called for citizens’ benefits for foreigners to be canceled and for illegal immigrants to be consistently rejected at the border. “The message that is being sent to the world is fatal: once you have made it into citizen’s money, you can be permanently supported by the German taxpayer,” he told Junge Freiheit. This “mega pull factor and welfare state magnet” must be stopped immediately.

At the same time, the AfD MP took the federal government to task. “The fact that employable foreigners can apparently receive citizens’ benefits on a permanent basis is due to a lack of political will to end this unspeakable situation and to protect the German welfare state.” [Why the so-called opposition is asking such dumb questions boggles the mind. What’s going on has been part and parcel of the whole exercise of cultural and literal genocide of the West by the puppetician class for decades now.]

According to the evaluation, the federal states of Berlin and Bremen had the highest proportion of permanently unemployed people. In both city states, almost half of all employable benefit recipients have been receiving basic benefits for at least five years.
