An employee of the broadcaster confirms: German public broadcaster WDR deliberately employs Muslim anti-Semites to please the constantly growing target group of young Muslims
An internal memo shows: While public broadcaster WDR pretends to at least want to “carefully consider” working with an avowed anti-Semite, it has long since been decided internally to work with the controversial “colleague” Nemi El-Hassan in future, despite all the serious accusations, and thus to fulfil a “duty of care”. And: WDR does not take anti-Semitism seriously and plays it down to a mere “cultural conflict” which is to be accepted in favour of a necessary “diversity”. Possibly a programme of its own is intended to justify the WDR employee’s hatred of Jews.
Tom Buhrow, the head of WDR, spoke of a possible consideration to have Nemi El-Hassan work as an author for the programme “Quarks” instead of as a presenter.
But the magazine Tichys Einblick (TE) is now in possession of an in-house correspondence that completely calls this into question. It all seems as if WDR had long since decided to work with Nemi El-Hassan despite all the serious accusations – and: as if WDR does not take anti-Semitism seriously!
The letter that TE possesses was published on October 8, 2021 by the WDR programme director and broadcast journalist Valerie Weber and sent to all employees of the directorate as an email.
So in reality, WDR just wants to wait until the debate about Nemi El-Hassan is no longer “politicised in such a way” – is it not a matter of “careful consideration” at all, as the Broadcasting House pretends in its press release? Do serious accusations of anti-Semitism only represent politicisation for WDR? Not one word mentions the word ‘anti-Semitism’. Instead, WDR has been in a ‘direct exchange’ ‘behind the scenes’ with Nemi El-Hassan the entire time.The accusations of anti-Semitism against El-Hassan thus seem to be only superficially relevant to WDR.
An employee of the broadcasting house, whose position and place of work is known to TE, revealed to TE that there is an “extreme diversity policy” in broadcasting. The broadcasting houses would not do this because they are such good people themselves. Instead, this is “pure calculation”, according to the public broadcasting employee, who also knows the internal affairs of WDR: “From a demographic perspective, young Muslims are the most important target group. All the others are numerically irrelevant anyway. This target group determines the medium to long-term planning.” The long-time employee explains that for many years he had thought that “in order to bind this target group, one negligently ignores the deeply rooted anti-Semitism there”, but “in the meantime there are increasing signs that one rather deliberately accepts it”. This can be clearly deduced from internal discussions and strategies, it is “in fact no secret” in broadcasting.
The employee also reveals that legally there is no “duty of care” towards Nemi El-Hassan on the part of the broadcaster, as it is claimed in the letter. Because El-Hassan “is – or would be – a freelancer”, which she would also have been as a presenter, according to the WDR employee. Rather, the treatment of Nemi El-Hassan was a deliberate procedure “to send a signal to the most important target group: We are on your side, unconditionally.” The long-time broadcasting employee considers this approach threatening and says that it is openly shown and communicated internally – as the letter also proves.

Peter Hitchens: British Police Have Transformed Into a Tool for Enforcing the State’s Will
More deaths from vaccinations than from Covid-19 in Taiwan
This is the first time that deaths after vaccination in Taiwan have exceeded deaths after illness.
The number of deaths from Corona vaccination in Taiwan reached 852 on October 7, Medical Trend reported. The number of deaths after a Covid-19 diagnosis was 844.
The Taiwan Ministry of Health issued a âPost-COVID-19 Inoculation Adverse Event Noticeâ according to which Taiwan began vaccinating on March 22 this year. From that day to October 6, the number of post-vaccination deaths in Taiwan has reached 849.
643 dead to AstraZeneca, 183 to Moderna
The highest number of deaths reported after vaccination with AstraZeneca, at 643. After the vaccination with Moderna, 183 deaths were registered and after the jab with the vaccine Medigen produced by Taiwan, there are 22 deaths. One death was recorded according to BioNTech/Pfizer.
This is consistent with findings in a new study published in The Lancet on vaccine âbreakthroughâ. The impact of vaccination on admission to hospital in patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection using real-world data was collected by the Yale New Haven Health System.
According to the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) , four new confirmed cases of Covid-19 were recorded in Taiwan on October 7. These were all brought in from abroad, with no new deaths among the confirmed cases. However, with 3 new deaths after vaccination, the number of deaths after vaccination still exceeds the number of deaths after a Covid diagnosis.
Official bodies cites âsloppy dosingâ
On October 6, Kuomintang MP Yu-Lan Yeh noted that recently some hospitals in Taiwan reported that 25 people had been vaccinated with undiluted vaccine solution or that the vaccine dose was insufficient. At least 0.5 cmÂł had allegedly been administered, but only 0.1 cmÂł had been indicated.
Many people get vaccinated in order to survive, and the authorities should not turn life-saving vaccines into life-threatening vaccines due to negligence in control, the official said. People who were vaccinated in accordance with the islandâs policy were inexplicably victims of the epidemic, Yeh added. Accordingly, it is not the vaccines themselves that are the cause, but only âsloppiness in the vaccine dosageâ.
High rate of vaccination
Taiwanâs Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) on Friday (Oct. 15) announced the country had reached a first-dose COVID-19 vaccination rate of over 60 percent, Taiwan News reported.
Taiwanâs rate has in fact surpassed that of nearly one-third of US states. Vaccine hesitancy has been noted in especially red states â those with a Republican majority. Taiwanâs first-dose vaccination rate has surpassed that of 15 US states, 14 of which voted for President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.

Germany: Tunisian stabs pregnant woman to death
After the violent death of a pregnant woman and her unborn baby in LĂźneburg, an arrest warrant has been issued for the 37-year-old partner. The man is suspected of having stabbed his wife to death, as the police reported on Saturday. According to the police, the man from Tunisia had already been arrested on Friday due to evidence at the crime scene and the circumstances of the crime. The suspicion of the crime was then substantiated, so that a judge at the Soltau district court issued an arrest warrant on Saturday at the request of the LĂźneburg public prosecutor’s office.
The police did not give any further details about the background of the crime. According to initial information, the investigators assumed that it was a crime of passion. After the crime, investigators secured evidence and questioned people close to the victim.
The pregnant woman had been stabbed to death in an apartment building in LĂźneburg on Friday. According to the police, the woman’s partner had said that he himself had discovered the 36-year-old lifeless in the flat on Friday. He then informed the neighbours, who immediately alerted the police. The woman, also from Tunisia, suffered the stab wounds in the morning hours in the flat, where she died. The possible murder weapon, a knife, was seized by the officers in the flat.
Germany: Ex-Muslims demonstrating in Cologne against the call of the muezzin allowed by the municipality were threatened by Muslims in front of the mosque
Actually, a Protestant woman wanted to perform a small play in front of the mosque, but in the end it turned into a first demonstration against the planned calls of the muezzin in Cologne on social networks. The main protagonists were mainly ex-Muslims who expressed their displeasure about the model project.
A woman who fled Saudi Arabia and now lives in Cologne: “All of a sudden I hear the call that oppressed me in this free Germany. I didn’t think that was possible.”
Right in the middle of the action: The Iranian journalist Akhtar Impertro-Ghasemi, who lives in Cologne, who classifies the protest in an interview with EXPRESS.de: “The decision divides society. Because it serves the Islamists to proclaim their message.”
She speaks of a typical approach. “We come from the Islamic countries and therefore know very well how the Islamists proceed. They do it step by step, spreading their agitation against secularism and democracy in our society.”
And she says: “They promise things and then just ignore them.” This was the case in Cologne, for example, when they assured us that they would only preach in German in the mosque, but now they speak Turkish.
All ex-Muslims agreed: “We have nothing against Islam, but against Islamism.
Imperto-Ghasemi also reports that demonstrators were directly threatened over the weekend. Individual demonstration members would therefore also file a complaint with the police on Monday ( October 18). “I am sure that I will also be threatened,” says Imperto-Ghazemi.
When asked about the fact that church bells are also ringing in Cologne, the journalist says: “Church bells are only a sound and cannot be compared to the muezzin’s call. The words that are shouted there are not compatible with an open society.” Another large demonstration in front of the central mosque is planned for the coming days. However, it is not yet clear when this will take place.
Islam doesnât respect cowards: The appalling murder of Sir David Amess
by Giulio Meotti
Methodist Church of Belfairs, Leigh-on-Sea, UK. One of Sir David Amess’ usual venues to meet the electorate. The Conservative MP was outside the church chatting with voters and greeting passersby. A sign at the entrance proclaimed: “Everyone is welcome here”.When Amess walked in, the voters were already inside waiting for him. Also present was the British terrorist of Somali origin who is now in police custody. He approached Amess and stabbed him 17 times, killing him. Then the Islamist sat down and waited for the police to arrive.
David Amess was one of the Tory’s longest-serving MPs, first elected under Margaret Thatcher in 1983 (he was her “man in Essex”), devoted Catholic, father of five, Eurosceptic, brexiteer, pro-life, member by Conservative Friends for Israel.
The killing of Sir Amess in a church is certainly not accidental. Like Father Jacques Hamel in Normandy, the massacre at the Basilica of Nice, the failed bombing of the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris, the attack on the Christmas market in Strasbourg and a terrorist plan against the churches of Villejuif, just to name a few.
How did we come to this tragedy? Through our own cowardice.
Through the cowardice of the media and the political class who see fascists and Islamophobes everywhere and carefully cover the traces of the Islamists.
Days ago, a convert to Islam killed five people in Norway. The news was quickly covered up. Ah, if only he had had a swastika tattooed on his armâŚ
In particular, England’s cowardice regarding Islamic fundamentalism is proof the country took Winston Churchill’s prophecy about the appeaser seriously. He defined an appeaser as “someone who feeds a crocodile because he hopes it will eat him last”.
The cowardice of the establishment is what has prompted them to close their eyes to the 85 perfectly legal sharia courts in the UK.
The cowardice of the establishment is what has led them not to see that half of the British mosques are under the control of the Islamic movement of the Taliban (the Deobandis manage 738 of the 1,600 British mosques).
The cowardice of the establishment is what prompted the UK to refuse asylum to Pakistani Christian Asia Bibi because it could have caused “violent uprisings” by the British Muslim population and endangered embassies in Islamic countries.
The cowardice of the establishment is what prompted the artist Grayson Perry to censor himself “so as not to end up like Theo van Gogh”, the Dutch director murdered for making a film about women in Islam.
The cowardice of the establishment is what prompted the Tate Gallery to withdraw John Latham because he showed the Koran sliced ââin two.
The cowardice of the establishment is what led Professor Steven Greer to have a course canceled after accusations of “Islamophobia” and having to flee home for fears for his safety.
The establishment cowardice is what prompted a high school teacher in Batley to drop out of school and home after being subjected to death threats for showing Charlie Hebdo cartoonsin class during a free speech class and ending up in a “safe house” with his wife and children. “Give us his head,” the Islamists shouted outside the school in Batley, which meanwhile suspended the teacher. The professor’s name was made public, putting his life at risk, by a very legal Islamic NGO.
The cowardice of the establishment is what led, again on the charge of “Islamophobia”, to shred the book of a famous journalist like Julie Burchill.
The cowardice of the establishment is what has prompted museums and libraries that hold dozens of images of Muhammad to “keep them out of the reach of the public,” as the Guardian explained.
The cowardice of the establishment is what pushed Christopher Marlowe’s “Tamerlane”, where the Koran is burned and Mohammed challenged, to be censored at the Barbican Theater in London.
The cowardice of the establishment is what prompted Sky News to black out the Charlie Hebdo cartoons during a link in which a French journalist tried to have them framed. Sky News disconnected, went back to the studio and apologized “to those who feel offended by these images”. It is the great ritual phrase of those who wave the white flag.
Piece by piece, through succumbing to Islamic intolerance, cowardice led to the murder in broad daylight, inside a church, of an English parliamentarian, on the first anniversary of the beheading on the street of Professor Samuel Paty in France.
Sooner or later in Europe they will have to open a discussion on whether or not self-censorship and concessions to radical Islam have been the the right way to defend freedoms, civilization and democracy, and what led to the damnation of Western countries.
Anti-Semitic Idiocy in Ireland
By Mike Konrad
In its eight-century-long desire to be free of Britain, the Irish have made some heroic efforts, but alas — as all peoples do — have engaged in some incredible blunders. The increase of anti-Zionism in Ireland is one such blunder.
A recent report by David Collier shows the frightening levels of anti-Semitism common in Ireland. (The report is currently down — probably hacked.) It listed sentiments among the Irish that echoed Nazi/Tsarist propaganda of the worst sort. This anti-Semitism has been noticed by others.
According to Jewish filmmaker Tuvia Tenenbom, antisemitism in Ireland âis all over, it is frightening⌠I have never encountered it before. There is no argument, it is just considered a fact of life.â — Blog — The Times of Israel
Probably Irelandâs most famous blunder was the âofficialâ neutrality of Ireland in World War II. It was understandable that after its war of independence from Britain Ireland was not eager to engage in another war on the side of Britain. Bitterness still rang deep.
Yet, Irelandâs neutrality actually swung in favor of the Allies:
âThe Irish Governmentâs position in World War II was a peculiar form of neutrality,â he wrote. âOpenly, the position was that of pretending neutrality in the classic sense. Actually it was a neutrality against the Axis and for the Allies.â — Irish Examiner
The Irish government had made a grave political blunder by not openly declaring for the Allies. As it was, more southern Irishmen voluntarily fought in Allied armies during WWII than Ulstermen. But de Valeraâs idiocy got Ireland mislabeled as pro-Nazi.
Right now, Ireland is making a similarly serious blunder. The government and the people are picking up the banner of anti-Zionism. And this anti-Zionism is morphing into outright anti-Semitism.
Israel is trying to âaccomplish Jewish supremacy,â deputy chairperson of the lower house of Irelandâs parliament Catherine Connolly wrote in a parliamentary question this month. — JPost
âJewish supremacyâ is a loaded term harkening back to the spurious Protocols of the Elders of Zion. And this is not just coming from sidelined politicians — like Americaâs Squad. One Irish person tweeted:
“No way is the protocols a hoax, sure all ya have to do is look at who supposedly ‘debunked’ them… The Jewish owned London Times.” — as cited in JPost
In America, the Squad and anti-Semites are outliers from the political mainstream, but in Ireland, such opinions are part of the political mainstream. A few examples are below.
TD (Member of the Irish Dail) attacks Israeli ambassador.
Dublin City Hall flies Palestinian flag.
There are calls to ban Israeli goods.
The reason given for this insanity is that the Irish see the Arabs as fellow victims of British imperialism, and hence identify with the Arabs. But this is a deceptive superficial analysis. If they would forget Britainâs actions — which were often as much anti-Jewish as anti-Arab — the Irish are more similar historically to the Jews.
The core question is who has the ancient pedigrees to their land. In this, the Jews and the Irish are identical. The Gaels are indigenous to the whole island of Eire, while the Jews are indigenous to the land west of the Jordan River. The pro-British Orangemen were a garrison population planted in Ulster, while the Arabs took over in the Holy Land.
To show sympathy for Arab separatism in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) is akin to showing sympathy for pro-British Orange separatism in Ulster. Are the Irish schooled in basic logic?
Yet, once again, the Irish are shooting themselves in the foot. The Irish are bending over backwards for Palestine.
Palestinians welcomed a move by the Irish parliament on Wednesday to condemn Israelâs âde facto annexationâ of Palestinian territory, making it the first EU member state to take such a stance. — Mondoweiss
Ireland is now a major technology hub in Europe⌠in the world. As such, do the Irish really want to annoy Israeli Jews, who are a major force in world technology? Whose assistance do the Irish need?
Hebrew speakers are in great demand all across Ireland, as head offices need to communicate with their R&D offices and supply chains in that other tech capital of the world: Israel. — Blog — The Times of Israel
…the Jewish presence in Ireland has actually increased by as much as 30% in recent years thanks to the influx of Israelis who have come to work in the tech capital of Europe. — Blog — Times of Israel
Are the Irish nuts? They need Jews, but stick up for Palestinians?! Does Ireland want to lose their Jews? All of Irelandâs economic miracle will evaporate if the Irish do not restrain their anti-Semitic idiocy.
America recently had to warn Ireland that if it banned goods from Judea and Samaria, American corporations would be required to leave Ireland, as such a boycott would violate U.S. law.
US Congressmen accused of bullying Ireland over Israeli settlement goods boycott — Irish Central
The threat was quite real. Apple, Google, and Facebook are major factors in the Irish economy.
Ireland is now a first-world nation. It has a higher per person income than England. It has to start acting like a first-world nation. Israel detested the British after their struggles with England, yet as Israel got more prosperous, they had to mend fences with England, even if Menachem Begin never got over his hatred for them.
Ireland has to act similarly in world affairs. It has to stop considering itself as blue-eyed victims of European racism. It has to make practical, not emotional judgments.
Would Ireland be better served by working with Jews or with Palestinians? If the Jews quit Ireland, do the Irish think Palestinians can replace Israeli expertise?
Simultaneously, the Ulster question is going Irelandâs way. Already the British have moved the UK/EU border to the Irish Sea, treating Ulster as if it were almost under Irish rule. The Orangemen rioted over this.
It would not take too much of a push to swing Ulster into a more prosperous Ireland, provided that Ireland remains prosperous. Such prosperity will disappear if Ireland descends into a vicious social anti-Semitism that mimics pre-war Europe. If Ireland becomes more hostile to Jews, do they think their high-tech economy will continue to grow as Jews flee? Will American firms remain? Would the trend to unification with Ulster proceed?
Do the Irish hate Jews more than they love their own prosperity, their own country, and a historic resolution to the problem of Ulster?
Ulster?! Irelandâs âWest Bank.â The Irish want Ulster back like the Jews want Judea and Samaria. What have the Irish failed to understand?
The Irish have to stop this idiocy. They have a chance to become a West European bedrock of wealth. They have to stop its victim mentality, and they have to root out their anti-Semitism, or Ireland will economically collapse. The Jews are not going to leave Judea and Samaria, but if Ireland proceeds further down their path of anti-Semitism, and if Irelandâs economy collapses, the last of its Gaels will leave that forlorn island for good. And this time, they cannot blame the British.
For interest: There are a few brave Gaels who support Israel.

German public broadcasting staffer decries suppression of Covid information: âI cannot do it anymoreâ
By Thomas Lifson
Ole Skambraks is very brave mid-level employee of German public broadcaster ARD, an organization with an annual budget of $8 billion and multiple television and radio services. He writes that he can no longer remain silent about the lopsided coverage of issues related to COVID-19 and its countermeasures, and has published what amounts to a cry from the heart at a website called Multipolar Magazin, available in German, English and French. I take it for granted that ARD does not approve of his essay, and use of their logo here is only for informational purposes to an American audience that may not understand its size and prestige in Germany.
The situation in Germany and most other countries in Europe is similar to that in the United States, with only one viewpoint allowed, even though it changes over time. Mass media act as enforcers of the orthodoxy.
What follows are excerpts from the English Language version of the article. I urge readers to read the entire thing but will provide excerpts.
Skambraks writes from an idealistic posture, calling on his organization to live up to its ideals as a public broadcaster.
From the beginning, I felt that public service broadcasting should fill precisely this space: promote dialogue between advocates of measures and critics, between people who are afraid of the virus and people who are afraid of losing their basic rights, between vaccination supporters and vaccination sceptics. For the past year and a half, however, the space for discussion has narrowed considerably.
Scientists and experts who were respected and esteemed before Covid, who were given space in public discourse, are suddenly labelled cranks, tinfoil hat wearers or Covidiots. (snip)
Instead of an open exchange of opinions, a âscientific consensusâ was proclaimed, that must be defended. Anyone who doubts this and demands a multidimensional perspective on the pandemic, will reap indignation and scorn.
He uses a German example of suppression of heterodox views:
As an oft-cited examp`e critical of the Governmentâs Covid-19 measures were labelled right-wingers. Which editor will still dare to voice similar ideas?
He covers the suppression of information on therapeutic approaches.
For months now, it has been clear that effective and cheap treatments do exist for Covid-19, but their use is not allowed. The data on this is unequivocal. But the pseudoscientific disinformation campaigns against these medications are indicative of the state of medicine today. Hydroxychloroquine is a drug known for decades and used routinely against malaria and rheumatic disorders. Last year, the drug was suddenly deemed dangerous. The statement by then-President Donald Trump that hydroxychloroquine would be a âgame changerâ did the rest to discredit the medication. The political reasoning no longer allowed a scientific debate on HCQ.
In the spring, the catastrophic situation in India caused by the spread of the Delta variant was widely reported in the media (then still referred to as the Indian variant). But the fact that India rather quickly brought the situation under control, and that the use of Ivermectin in large states such as Uttar Pradesh had a decisive role in this, was not deemed newsworthy. (7)
Why are the health authorities taking such a strong stand against treatments, which have been available since the beginning of the pandemic? I would have liked to see some investigative research by the ARD here! It has been made clear that the new Covid vaccines could qualify for emergency use authorisation (EUA) only because there was no officially recognised treatment for SARS-CoV-2.
This is not about celebrating any one Covid miracle drug. My aim is to highlight facts which have not been given due consideration. From the outset, the message given in public discourse was that vaccination was the only way out. The WHO even went so far as to change the definition of âherd immunityâ, implying that it can only be achieved by vaccination and no longer by previous infection, as was previously the case.
What about if the road chosen is a dead end?
Repression of contrary views, anathema to real science is now firmly established.
The most vocal critics must count on house searches, prosecution, account suspensions, transfers or dismissal, or even referral to psychiatric care. Even if they hold opinions you do not share â this has no place in a state subject to the rule of law.
In the United States, it is already being discussed whether criticising science should be labelled a hate crime. The Rockefeller Foundation has announced a grant of 13.5 million dollars to censor misinformation in the health field (snip)
The Gates and Rockefeller Foundations drafted and financed the WHO guidelines for digital vaccine passes. These passes are now being rolled out everywhere. Only with these passes will public life be possible â whether you want to take the tram, have a coffee or get medical treatment. An example from France shows that this digital pass will stay even after the pandemic ends. MP Emanuelle MĂŠnard demanded the following addition to the legal text: The digital vaccine pass shall end when the virus spread no longer presents a level of danger which justifies its use. Her proposed amendment was rejected. Thus we are but a small step away from global population control or even a surveillance state via projects such as ID2020.
These questions are enough to get anyone labeled a kook, a fringe conspiracy theorist, and to be suppressed by social media and ârespectableâ corporate outlets. Yet, they are of obvious concern to anyone who takes a moment to think about where all of this is heading.
Mr. Skambraks may be jeapordizing his career in broadcasting by raising these questions, but as a man of conscience, he weites from the heart. We’ll try to follow what happens to him.
Norwegian Air first to ditch face mask requirement for Scandinavian flights
Norwegian Air will no longer require that passengers on its domestic flights or services between Norway, Sweden and Denmark wear face masks. Other airlines in Scandinavia are reportedly set to follow suit.
Such a policy shift is unusual in an industry where many airlines continue to severely restrict passengers due to global Covid-19 measures.
âNorwegianâs attitude has been to maintain the mask requirement for as short a period of time as possible,â it announced on October 14. âThose who still want to use face masks are of course welcome to do so.â Norwegian added that most airports still required the wearing of face masks.
But the âcurrent infection situationâ in Scandinavia and loosening of Covid restrictions, prompted its change of policy. Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), Norwegian, Widerøe and Flyr will also drop the requirement. Nordic nations have also discarded most of their domestic Coronavirus restrictions and daily life in Denmark, Norway and Sweden has returned to normal.
Covid restrictions sent the indebted airline into bankruptcy proceedings in 2020, forcing it to terminate its transatlantic network and to cut more than 6000 jobs to around 3000.
The airline expected a further boost in the second quarter of 2022 with holiday flights increasing.
