Is Essen in danger of becoming a theatre of war between hostile clans?

For decades, Essen has been home to several clans of Lebanese origin. They are the main focus of attention for the police and politicians. But that could change very soon.

Because the Essen police have to prepare for a new clan consisting of Syrians – and it is in rivalry with the Lebanese clans!

Flashback: On April 12, 2021, a group of hooded men beat two men in a Hyundai car with bludgeoning and cutting weapons in the Rüttenscheid district of Essen. Investigators also recovered bullet casings, and the perpetrators fled in a black Porsche Cayenne. Less than 24 hours later, a similar incident occurred in the district of Steele, where again a group attacked a victim and then fled.

A spokesperson for the Essen police also told the newspaper DER WESTEN in April 2021 that it was known that clans were fighting each other and trying to take the law into their own hands. The police spokesperson said at the time: “Unfortunately, these groups tend to bypass the rule of law in order to settle their affairs. Was this the beginning of a war between Lebanese and Syrians?

In Essen, the police have set up the “Special Clan Organisation” (BAO) in order to push back criminal clan branches, especially in the poorer north of the city. The spokesman of the “BAO Clan”, Pascal Schwarz-Pettinato, now tells DER WESTEN: “We observe that the Syrians have grown strongly in number. They clash with rival groups, crimes are committed. For us, it is now a matter of preventing a two-front war.”

Clan and Islamism expert Ahmad A. Omeirate (37) from Berlin emphasises in an interview with DER WESTEN that Essen is “a phenomenon in itself”. There would be a correspondingly large number of Syrians here because of the large number of family reunions. While the Lebanese want to defend their turf, the Syrians are trying to expand their territory. Omeirate: “The Syrians are structurally as far established after just a few years as the Lebanese are after 40 years. The predominant Lebanese are becoming restless, between them and the Syrians there is a collision of worldviews.”

But why this rivalry between Syrians and Lebanese? The expert points to history, explaining: “The Syrian military interventions in the Lebanese civil war, the decades-long occupation of Lebanon and ultimately the assassination of the then Prime Minister Hariri have given rise to aversion against Syrians among Lebanese. Moreover, they feel unequal treatment by politics and the municipality compared to the newcomers.”

In his opinion, the “strategy of 1,000 pinpricks” of North Rhine-Westphalia’s Interior Minister Herbert Reul (69, CDU) is necessary. However, it only combats the symptoms, but not the causes of clan crime, says Omeirate. The expert: “If the situation between the clans escalates and someone feels compelled to do so, there could be the potential for a new brutality, which is not known in Essen in this way.”

An analysis of health insurance data now underlines the scepticism about the official figures on vaccination side effects. The health insurance company BBK ProVita sounds the alarm in a letter: “It would be ethically wrong not to talk about it”.

By the end of 2021, the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI) had recorded around 245,000 vaccination side effects. But the actual number of these side effects is probably many times higher. At least, this is what the results of an analysis by the health insurance company BBK ProVita suggest, as reported by the newspaper Die Welt. They had become ” suspicious” when an increasing number of diagnoses suggested a vaccination side effect. Therefore, the databases of all BBK health insurance funds were checked. The data collection paints a completely different picture than the figures from the Ministry of Health.

From January to August 2021, for example, around 217,000 of just under 11 million BBK policyholders had to be treated for vaccination side effects – while the Paul Ehrlich Institute only keeps 244,576 side effect reports based on 61.4 million vaccinated. “According to our calculations, we consider 400,000 visits to the doctor by our insured due to vaccination complications to date to be realistic,” Andreas Schöfbeck, BKK board member, told Die Welt. “Extrapolated to the total population, this figure would be three million.” Thus, the number of vaccination side effects would be more than 1000 per cent higher than the PEI reports.

Schöfbeck mentions the reporting system as the main reason for the massive discrepancy. Doctors often have to report vaccination side effects in their spare time – a time-consuming activity that then remains unpaid. “It is simply impossible to report everything.”

With his analysis, Schöfbeck turned to a wide range of institutions – from the German Medical Association to the StiKo and the Paul Ehrlich Institute itself. He said that the figures were a “strong alarm signal” which “absolutely must be taken into account in the further use of vaccines”.
His figures could be validated by the same data analyses of other health insurance companies, he says. It is “ethically wrong not to talk about it”.

Since ” risk to human life cannot be ruled out”, he set a deadline of 6pm on Tuesday to respond to his letter. As this was not possible, they turned to the public.

Canada just demonstrated that, in a technologically sophisticated Western country, it’s very easy to become a dictator. And then, once you’re a dictator, it’s even easier to pretend you’re not, as was the case with Canadian dictator Justin Trudeau’s condemnation of Russian authoritarianism. Apparently, it takes one to know one.

A few years ago, Justin Trudeau was a laughable lefty who managed to become Prime Minister of Canada both because of his lineage (putative dad, Pierre, was once Prime Minister too) and because leftist Canadians were in love with the idea of a hip, totally woke leader.

Two years ago, with the onset of COVID, Trudeau, even while still speaking the language of woke victimhood, began to crack down hard on Canadian’s civil rights, all in the name of science. For Canada’s truckers, who have been almost broken by the mandates, the requirement that they produce a vaccine passport to cross back into Canada from America was one mandate too many. They convoyed across Canada and into Ottawa, where they honked their horns, ate food provided by locals, danced, and had bounce houses for the kids.

To the truckers’ surprise, the same Canadian premier, in 2020, who praised truckers to the skies and showily took a knee to honor the violent, disruptive, criminal Black Lives Matter, refused to talk to them. Instead, he ran away and emerged only to defame them as evil people, including calling them Nazis.

On Valentine’s Day, Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act, giving himself complete power because truckers were honking their horns in Ottawa. At his orders, the entire financial system was used punitively against not just the truckers but against anybody who dared to support them—and mind you, this included making donations to the truckers when there was nothing illegal about doing so.

In addition, Trudeau unleashed police on the truckers and their supporters. The police reacted enthusiastically, beating peaceful people, trampling an old womanunder a horse (and laughing about it), and bullying people whenever and wherever they could.

Then, two days ago, despite the police having brutally stopped the truckers’ protest, Canada’s leftist-controlled Parliament voted to extend Trudeau’s unlimited powers. They voted mindlessly along straight party lines. Indeed, so mindless were they that one Member of Parliament, who can give Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a race to the bottom when it comes to stupidity, insisted that “honk honk” was a secret code for “Hail [sic], Hitler.”

Within a remarkably short time, Trudeau went from a ridiculous figure to a vicious tyrant. Not only a vicious tyrant but a completely un-self-aware one. And so it was that Trudeau lashed out at authoritarian government—not in Canada, of course, but in Russia. When he joined the United States and a handful of other nations to impose some sanctions on Russian banks, he justified what he was doing this way:

Canada will continue to be there to support Ukraine and its people. Russia’s flagrant disregard for the independence of a sovereign nation is a serious threat to security and stability in the region and around the world. Canada and our allies will defend democracy. We are taking these actions today to stand against authoritarianism. The people of Ukraine like all people must be free to determine their own future.

“We are taking these actions today to stand against authoritarianism,” says the man who is aggressively using his financial and police power to destroy working-class people for daring to oppose his politics.

By the way, the woman to Trudeau’s right, whose head is bouncing away as she seems to be mouthing his words behind her mask, is Chrystia Freeland, a former journalist who made a name for herself as a Soros sycophant. It is she who is taking the steps to destroy financially, not just the truckers, but their supporters. And it doesn’t matter whether they were breaking any laws when they acted. She will wipe them out economically. They are, after all, the new Nazis, according to Trudeau and his peeps. This is ironic considering that Freeland’s own grandfather was a Ukrainian Nazi collaborator.

Leftists in once-free countries have realized that, if they have the executive office, the legislature, the administrative agencies, the media, and the tech companies, they can pretty much do anything they want. The Democrats’ response to January 6 was a trial run for the leftists. Trudeau is showing that the same tactics can work on a national scale. And just last week, even as COVID fades away, Biden extended the national emergency, giving himself continued power to control vast sectors of the U.S. economy and its police powers.

The Canadians, of course, don’t have our masterful Constitution. However, I predict that we’ll very soon have to address the question of what happens when the entire federal government is under the control of people who no longer feel bound by that Constitution. Look north, my friends. Look north.

The dangerous experiments with pathogens with global pandemic potential should stop, said Prof Roland Wiesendanger from the University of Hamburg in Germany and organiser of the call to end gain-of-function research.

“The current pandemic has taught us what devastating effects it can have when pathogens become extremely easily transmissible from person to person, even if the mortality rate due to the virus is only in the range of one percent or less. For at least ten years, dangerous pathogens such as avian flu viruses or SARS-like viruses have been adapted to human cells within the framework of so-called ‘gain-of-function‘ research, which involves an enormously high risk for the outbreak of worldwide pandemics. Such research projects continue to be financed – partly with public money – and this with much more dangerous viruses, some with lethality rates above 50 percent,” the authors said.

A virologist at a respected US research institute recently summed up the potential danger succinctly in one sentence as follows: “This pandemic is nothing compared to what comes next when we get airborne Nipah or Ebola.”

It is the responsibility of scientists and the media worldwide to point out this huge potential danger and to sensitise politicians as well as society as a whole. A group of scientists from various disciplines as well as from numerous countries in Europe, America, Asia and New Zealand are therefore now addressing the global community with the following “Hamburg Declaration 2022” with the aim of immediately ending the “gain-of-function” experiments with pathogens that are dangerous for humans.

This declaration was created in the spirit of the 1957 Göttingen Declaration, which drew attention to the potential danger posed by nuclear weapons systems.

Hamburg Declaration 2022

Conscious of the mission and responsibility of science and research to serve the welfare of humankind, to strive for truth and to communicate the knowledge gained to the general public, the signatories of this declaration wish to draw attention to a major threat to human existence that has arisen in recent years as a result of novel biotechnical processes for modifying dangerous pathogens.

Through so-called “gain-of-function” research, naturally occurring viruses are adapted by altering their gene sequence to facilitate their docking with and invasion of human cells. This creates an enormous potential for a pandemic, which responsible scientists and researchers have repeatedly pointed out over the past decade. Such research has been conducted in recent years on various highly dangerous pathogens such as avian flu viruses and SARS-like coronaviruses, and this has been documented in the scientific literature. Much of this work has also been done as part of publicly funded research projects.

The current Corona pandemic clearly shows what it means when pathogens are extremely easily transmitted from person to person. We have to mourn millions of deaths worldwide and billions of people are threatened in their existence or have lost it completely. The enormous damage to humanity occurred even though the mortality rate of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is only in the percentage range. There are indications that much more dangerous viruses such as MERS, Ebola or Nipah viruses are being genetically manipulated in various biotechnology laboratories around the world. The outcome of such experiments is often difficult or impossible to predict. However, no biotechnology laboratory in the world is safe enough to guarantee that such genetically modified viruses will not escape. A catastrophic event could be fatal for a substantial proportion of the world’s population, especially if the transmissibility of highly dangerous viruses via the human respiratory tract is facilitated by genetic modification.

We as scientists are aware of the importance of freedom of science and research. Nevertheless, we appeal to all politicians in the world to ensure that this “gain-of-function” research on pathogens with global pandemic potential is stopped immediately. The risk associated with this research and the potential of wiping out large parts of the world’s population are no longer responsible. We demand that the halt be controlled and continuously monitored by an independent international supervisory authority.

Regardless of the form of government of the countries of this world, it must be the concern of every responsible leader to contribute to the well-being of the population of his or her own country, but also of humanity as a whole. Humans have learned to intervene in the basic molecular building blocks of life. This gives rise to many opportunities to improve human life, but also to a great responsibility to preserve creation. Let us take this responsibility seriously before it is too late.

In 2021, the sex crime rate increased sharply in the region of Girona in Spain’s Catalonia. Figures made public by the Catalan authorities show a jump of 43 percent in this category, L’Indépendant reported. Overall, the crime rate rose by 13 percent.

As Remix News previously reported, the rise in sex crimes is taking place in the same region of Spain where a 95-year-old Spanish woman was raped by a Gambian migrant this month in the city of Figueras.

The significant increase in crimes of a sexual nature in the province stands out all the more, as the 2021 rate exceeded the number before the pandemic, according to the Diari de Girona daily. While in 2019, the Girona region recorded 310 sex crimes, last year, it was 329. Among these, 53 were rapes (an increase of 13 percent compared to 2020). Cases of touching and other abuse amounted to 276, up 49.2 percent compared to 185 in 2020.

Overall, the region of Girona recorded nearly 40,000 crimes and misdemeanors (39,345 precisely), up 13.2 percent compared to the year 2020.

“The easing of restrictions has caused an increase in crime,” sums up Diari de Girona.

Meanwhile, attempted homicides have increased by 31 percent to 21 recorded cases. There were also six murders, one less than in 2020. The last one was a parricide on October 31, 2021, when a 19-year-old boy had stabbed his 46-year-old mother to death at the family home in Ripoll.
