Strasbourg: The French State Security Service arrested seven young “radicalised” Islamists suspected of preparing a violent action in France; two of them had recently entered the country

The Directorate General of Internal Security (DGSI) has arrested seven radicalised youths in Strasbourg suspected of preparing a violent action in France. The arrest took place on Friday November 18 and was reported by franceinfo on Thursday.

Of these seven people, five individuals were already known to the DGSI. Two others had only recently entered the country. They are Russian and Tajik nationals. According to a source close to franceinfo, there was no concrete evidence that they had started carrying out their planned violent action. Nevertheless, they were charged and remanded in custody.

Germany: Young Turks videotaped each other raping a German woman

The two accused talk about “consensual sex”, but the disgusting videos show something else!

In addition to hours of sexual intercourse with the completely intoxicated Maja S. (22, name modified), there are also horrific acts: such as Cenk D. (23, Turkish) and Attila B. (21, German-Turkish) urinating on the young woman. D. spits on her. Both defendants blame everything on alcohol.

Charge: joint rape.

The events: The men visited the young woman in her flat in the district of Celle in 2020.

Cenk D. had met Maja S. on a dating app shortly before. And he brought his boyfriend with him …

There was alcohol, drinking games – and knockout drops?

The victim can’t remember anything! “From 0.55 am everything is gone. In the morning I was naked on the sofa, had blood and pain in my abdomen.”

The woman: “I wanted to know what had happened. But they only said that I was drunk.” But the coroner found semen. And the accused admitted yesterday that they had unprotected sex with the 24-year-old.

For Maja S., nothing has been the same since that night: “I am very jumpy”. The trial continues.

German Antifa group attacks home and office of AfD politician and mother

Suspected left-wing extremists have carried out an attack on the home and practice of Augsburg AfD politician Gabrielle Mailbeck, who was born in Brazil. They distributed flyers among residents with the headline “Attention! AfD politician in your neighborhood,” with the address and photo of the young woman.

According to Mailbeck, on the evening of Nov. 22, around 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., the perpetrators filled mailboxes in the apartment building where the politician lives with construction foam and spray-painted “AfD attack” on the street. She also documented the incident with a number of photos she posted to Twitter.

“Antifa attack on my family and my practice. The perpetrators also broke into the apartment building and distributed garbage — upstairs — in front of my front door. So close to my family and especially my baby,” she wrote.

Now, Germany’s State Protection Service is investigating the incident.

Mailbeck is a full-time leader of the AfD parliamentary group in the Augsburg City Council and runs a practice for nutritional counseling and sports with her husband in neighboring Friedberg. The perpetrators were also active there and loudly chanted “Alerta,” which is a common chant from Antifa..

On her Twitter profile, the 34-year-old documented the attack. A photo of the flyer shows her and her husband Tim Mailbeck. On the flier, it reads: “Dear residents and customers, we wanted to inform you that the business at (address redacted) is operated by the two AfD members Tim and Gabrielle Mailbeck.”

Her husband is an assessor in the district association of Augsburg. The private address of the two is also published in the note.

“AfD is a racist, neoliberal party that courts fascists*. It does not, as it claims itself, represent our interests, but those of the big corporations and bigwigs! There are enough examples, like the further privatization of the health system. Especially in the current crisis, we have to stand even closer together against the attacks of the rich and from the right!” the flyer read.

The Antifa group, which also has published the note on the radical left “Indymedia” web portal, demands in the note to allow AfD politicians “no peace” and to “attack” them.

Mailbeck, who spoke with German newspaper Junge Frieheit, said: “This Antifa attack on my family, my baby, and thus my own four walls, has terrorized us, and we are, of course, very frightened. My home and my practice were attacked in a brutal way at the same time.”

However, she also wrote on Twitter that she does not want to be intimidated.

“My personal focus as a native Brazilian in the AfD is exactly that: education. We AfDers are not monsters. Our democratic state and our families must be protected. I continue to fight for justice, enlightenment, and against this political suppression by leftists. This should never happen again, and normalizing this is a death sentence for democracy,” Mailbeck wrote.

AfD politicians are routinely attacked and many of the top ones in the country have suffered from arson attacks on their cars, as well as a number of physical assaults. According to government data, AfD politicians are more likely to be attacked than politicians from any other political party.

EU plan for Balkan route takes shape

Germany is pressing for the adoption of an urgent plan aimed at curbing entries from the Balkan route and Brussels is preparing to approve a document consisting of five fundamental points.

After the action plan for the central Mediterranean, the European Union is also preparing to present a plan for the Balkan route. That’s the one that scares Brussels the most right now. The increase in irregular arrivals by land, via the Balkan peninsula, rose by 168 percent in 2022 and this influenced the trend of the migratory flow towards northern Italy and northern Europe.

The numbers that scare Europe

The emblem of the failure of immigration policies in recent years is represented by two routes. The Libyan one which involves the central Mediterranean and the Balkan one. In the last five years no one has been able to manage and curb those flows, with many difficulties, especially in Italy.

Italy could end 2022 by exceeding the threshold of one hundred thousand irregular entries again, as has not happened since 2017. This is a situation capable of destabilizing the Meloni government. It has already generated the first diplomatic tussle with France after the landing of an NGO ship in transalpine territory.

After the rift between Rome and Paris, the EU has tried to intervene by presenting an action plan for the central Mediterranean. Now another plan has been put forward which concerns the Balkan route. As mentioned, here the increase in irregular entries was very high in percentage terms. And in absolute terms we are talking about at least 128 000 migrants who entered through trafficking in the Balkans.

The EU runs for cover, but problems remain

These are numbers that perhaps today arouse even more fears in the EU. Even if the Balkan route also involves Italy, it involves Germany above all. And if fists are banged on the table in Berlin, Europe is more inclined to intervene. In 2016, a record year for the Balkan route, the then government of Angela Merkel convinced the EU to pay out three billion euros to Turkey in order to close the eastern borders.

The new action plan

These days, there is less talk about money to shell out for illegals or, rather, no one actually dares mentioning any sum. The plan that will be presented and of which some details are already known, includes five fundamental points. The first is the strengthening of borders. It should be remembered that along this route the borders are terrestrial and therefore potentially more controllable than those of the central Mediterranean. Frontex should be called upon for greater collaboration with the border guards of the countries involved.

The second point instead concerns the “guarantee of rapid access to asylum structures and support for the reception capacity in the countries”, as stated in the previews of the document leaked from Brussels. The third point is perhaps one of the most important at a political level, as it has to do with the fight against human traffickers. This argument has been repeatedly presented by the new Italian government.

The fourth point is also important and has been indicated several times by Giorgia Meloni herself in recent days, namely a European regulation to speed up expulsions and repatriations.

Finally, in the document there is also space for a visa alignment policy, with particular regard to Serbia. In fact, in recent years Belgrade has allowed visa-free access to citizens from countries such as Burundi, Tunisia and Egypt, who instead have a visa requirement to enter the EU.

Are We Living in a ‘Post-Truth’ Society?

“Leaving truth behind” by Andrea Widburg using a freepik image by topntp26.

By Joseph Gish

Has our society transitioned to a period of “post-truth”? And, if so, what does it mean, where is it taking us, is it permanent, and can we fight it?

The online Cambridge dictionary defines “post-truth” to mean “relating to a situation in which people are more likely to accept an argument based on their emotions and beliefs, rather than one based on facts.” Given this definition, I personally believe much of the United States has transitioned to a “post-truth” society, and many of us will become casualties of this new paradigm before harsh reality steers our nation back to an “objective truth”-based decision-making.

How many times have you heard someone use the phrase “my truth is…”? This phrase is at the core of a “post-truth” society as it replaces a singular “objective truth” with many truths based on individual emotions. The danger from this type of thinking can be illustrated by imagining yourself wrongly accused of murder, and finding yourself tried by a jury filled with people who believe in “my truth” instead of “objective truth.” In this world, the prosecutor needs to make jurors feel as if they are bad people as opposed to being forced to introduce evidence that will persuade a rational jury that you’re guilty.

We are our emotions so, if they do not inform us of the truth, what use are they? I believe our emotions, when informed by objective truth, are an “early warning system” for avoiding future trauma. This early warning system is what we call intuition or gut feeling.

When we experience the type of trauma that causes our brains to fixate on an event, I believe we are subconsciously informing our intuition about the truth of the event in order to avoid a similar trauma in the future.  Should a similar situation arise in the future, our “gut feeling” will allow us to take quick action to avoid the same trauma from happening again. In other words, our intuition is an emotion-based defense mechanism that allows us to act quickly without thinking to avoid danger.

In contrast, a Post-Truth society deliberately stifles the development of intuition by avoiding emotional trauma altogether. Instead of emotions being informed by objective truth, those emotions become “our truth.” What better way is there to control people than through emotional manipulation after crippling their defensive intuition? However, this societal manipulation strategy can only work as long as “my truth” is not confronted with “the truth” and “my truthers” are insulated from emotional trauma.

What caused our society to reach this tipping point? I believe that objective truth is dying from a thousand little cuts and these cuts are a purposeful strategy to destroy our society and groom a population so it can be manipulated through feelings. I will mention a few below (I am sure the reader can come up with dozens more):

  • Participation Trophies (avoid the trauma of losing and starve the intuition of how to win)
  • Eliminate Traditional Roles (break down the nuclear family by eliminating mothers and fathers, the distinction between men and women)
  • Changing Definitions of Words (causing words to have no objective meaning, crippling our ability to communicate with each other rationally)
  • Toxic Masculinity (discourage boys from becoming men who know how to manage the risks needed to provide for and protect a family)
  • Teach children how to avoid trauma with trigger warnings and safe spaces (teaches children to avoid facts and data that would promote rational thought leading to objective truth and an informed intuition)
  • Censor Speech (so that “my truth” will not be confronted by “the truth”)

All these assaults on the truth are carefully planned and promoted by those who want to tear down our country to replace it with a new paradigm.

We ignore the truth at our peril. The United States is a young frontier nation, and it has taken 250 years for generations of Americans to forget the harsh realities of taming a frontier by building shelters from the cold, growing food, developing water, fighting off wild animals, establishing towns and territories, defending freedom, etc. This heritage of battling the realities of nature and human nature made us the most innovative, hardworking, and prosperous nation in the history of the world. It made us prosperous enough to shield ourselves from the very traumas that shaped our success.

Where is post-truth leading us? Truth is a brutal master and will make our post-truth society transitory. Our society’s first casualty is unity. Truth, facts, and data are the foundation of our unity. Post-truth’s first great division is the divide between those who believe in “my truth” and those of us who believe in “objective truth.” Like a cancer, this divide is corrupting our politics, law and order, our justice system, how we power our nation, and even how we grow our food. It is dividing families and, eventually, the “my truth” movement will cannibalize its own as people with incompatible “my truth” worlds collide. Post-truth leads to societal collapse, which will eventually lead to the transformation of our law-and-order-based republic to some other form of government, most likely tyranny.

How can we fight our society’s transition to “post-truth” and eventual collapse? As much as those of us who believe in “objective truth” think we can reason with the “my truthers” using dialog and rational debate, I have come to believe this strategy is a waste of time. Most “my truthers” cannot be reasoned with and simply must be defeated. This fight will push most of us “objective truthers” completely out of our comfort zones.

We must run for political office and put in place “objective truth” policies that protect individual rights. We must eliminate government stimulus and welfare so “my truthers” are required to face the harsh realities of making a living. Work to cut off any government funding that shields the “my truthers” world from the realities of the marketplace. We must confront “my truthers” in our online public squares, not in an attempt to turn them to “objective truth,” but to save those spectators who may be falling into the “my truth” trap. We must become doctors, lawyers, judges, college professors, etc., and sit on professional boards, so they are not weaponized by “my truthers.” We, as “objective truthers,” must get out of our comfort zone and realize avoiding confrontation with these people is not an option. Our way of life depends on it.

India: Hindu youth killed by suspected Islamists for opposing sexual harassment of his sister

Deepu Jadam was murdered for opposing the sexual harassment of his cousin sister during the Kartik fair in Ujjain, MP

Another Hindu has been murdered for resisting the sexual harassment of a woman family member. Deepu Jadam (22) was murdered by a suspected Islamist gang consisting of Sohail and others when he stopped them from sexually harassing his cousin sister during the ongoing Kartik fair in the temple town of Ujjain, MP

As per Dainik Bhaskar, Deepu’s sister was sitting on a ride on Tuesday night during the famous annual month-long fair held at Ujjain, when some youth passed some vulgar comments on her. When Deepu stopped them, they picked up a fight and stabbed him in the chest causing his death. He was the sole breadwinner of his family.

On Wednesday, angry locals and Hindu organizations jammed a road and vandalized some rides at the fair. Deepu, son of deceased Lakhan Jadam and resident of Agar town, had come to meet his maternal aunt Kantabai. Other relatives too had arrived to celebrate the birthday of a child. The entire family had gone to visit the Kartik fair.

Shockingly, it is being said that after the initial dispute over the vulgar comments, the police officials deputed at the fair took the family away to lodge a complaint. Deepu was left behind. The accused then surrounded him, and stabbed him to death.

An eyewitness Sanjay Mali said that 4 people from Deepu’s family sat on the ride, belonging to one Khaliq ‘bhai’, while 3 were standing by. Two of the accused, also sitting on the ride, began harassing the girl and passing vulgar comments. When Deepu opposed, they assaulted him. Soon, they called more accomplices and 20-25 of them gathered and stabbed Deepu to death.

Deepu’s father had already expired, and he was looking after his family farm while taking care of his mother, grandmother and two younger brothers, besides also pursuing his education.

Suresh Sonagra, a relative of Deepu’s, said that the men who harassed the girl from their family appeared to be workers of the ride owner, Khaliq. “We complained to the police chowki on the fair premises, and they asked us to come to the police station to lodge the report. As soon as we left, the accused surrounded Deepu and murdered him,” he is quoted as saying by Dainik Bhaskar.

Deepu’s cousin Ashish identified one of the attackers as Sohail, and said that most of them are from Helawadi area of Ujjain.

Mahakal police station head Munendra Gautam said that the police is searching for the accused and they will soon be arrested. “It’s possible that the youth was stabbed during the initial scuffle itself and fell in a corner. When the other family members came to the police station to lodge the complaint, our ASI found him lying on the ground and rushed him to the hospital. We are questioning the ride operators and checking CCTV footage,” the police officer said.

The Kartik fair is held annually on the banks of the sacred Kshipra river, starting from the day of Kartik Purnima and running for around a month. Licenses for setting up shops, eatery stalls and joyrides are awarded by an online process by authorities. This year, the fair ran from November 7 to December 6, but ended in tragedy for a Hindu family.

Deepu Jadam joins a long list of Hindu men who have been murdered in recent years for standing up against the sexual harassment of their sisters/daughters by Islamists – Dharam SahuDhruv TyagiBheru KolhiAditya Tiwari.

The inability of our politically correct ‘secular’ law enforcement machinery to hand down speedy and deterrent punishment to criminals, especially when they are committing gateway crimes incorrectly termed ‘eve teasing’, has emboldened them no end. Even those accused of brutal murders of Hindu girls like Etka Deshwal manage to get bail. Media reports on such crimes commonly castigate bystanders for not intervening to save the victim, but don’t utter a word against the judiciary and liberal elites who have normalized the soft treatment of criminals.

Children walk to school with police escort in Paris because of a rise in drug addicts and prostitution

Parisian children are being required to walk to school with a police escort due to an increased presence of drug addicts and prostitutes in one district of the French capital.

The police escort has been offered to parents taking their children to school at the Charles-Hermite kindergarten in the 18th arrondissement of Paris following a concerning rise in the number of delinquents seen in the vicinity of the school grounds.

A heightened presence of drug dealers, prostitutes, and drug addicts has increased the feeling of insecurity within the district, with parents fearing for the safety of their young children and relying on the municipal police to safely escort them to and from school.

The police escort has been made available to parents and children for both the morning and evening commute during the school’s opening and closing hours.

Speaking with French broadcaster BFMTV, the Charles-Hermite school admitted the current situation is “difficult” for families but claimed it had “improved over the past fortnight” since the police presence had been initiated.

Parents, however, speaking to the French newspaper Le Parisien, spoke of the “terrifying” conditions, revealing that their children had spoken about how they have witnessed acts of drugs and prostitution. “They know the word crack,” said Priscilla, a mother of one of the school children.

The local mayor, Éric Lejoindre, speaking with BFMTV, acknowledged the initiative is “incredible” and “abnormal.”

The police escort is expected to last until the Christmas holidays before being re-evaluated in the new year. The school, however, has assured parents that the initiative will remain for as long as the parents feel it is needed.

The initiative could also be spread to include other schools if the primary spots for drug deals in the district move and the problem transfers to neighboring schools.

The French capital has an epidemic on its hands regarding a growing number of crack users living on its streets. An estimated number of 40,000 to 44,000 people are regular users of the addictive drug in France, according to the French drugs observatory (OFDT), with more than a quarter (13,000) residing in the Paris area.

A crisis that began in the 1980s and had somewhat eased in the last decade or so has resurfaced, as the northern suburbs of the French capital gentrified, forcing addicts back out into the open, according to the OFDT.

Numerous reports in the French media show how hundreds of homeless crack addicts, often large groups of men, group together in parks and other public spaces in the capital’s northeast. While Interior Minister Gerard Darmanin claims to have taken a hardline approach, ordering police to disperse addicts every few weeks, many critics believe there is a vicious cycle with the problem of congregating addicts never truly dealt with.

“It’s a scenario that will repeat itself over time, in different neighborhoods,” claimed Stéphanie Benoist, a spokesperson for the Villette Village, a collective defending the rights and interests of Parisian residents. She asked BFMTV, “In the 18th and 19th (arrondissements), we’re going to send each other the hot potato for how long?”

Western armament companies suffer from acute shortsightedness

The Stockholm Institute for Peace Research SIPRI has now presented the latest sales figures for the hundred largest arms companies. They were also able to enjoy an excellent financial year in 2021 and slightly increased their sales in 2021 to 592 billion euros. But the main problem is supply-chain bottlenecks due to sanctions.

Nothing will change for the better in that respect anytime soon, because Russia of all places is also the most important supplier of raw materials for the western armaments companies.

It is doubly embarrassing, because Western countries had actually wanted to inflict maximum damage on Russia with their sanctions policy.

So far, this goal has clearly been missed. But even worse: as a result of their escalating support for Ukraine, many Western armaments arsenals have been emptied dramatically in recent months.

Especially with a view to the continued support of Ukraine and the preparation for possible Russian threats, western armaments suppliers should be producing at full speed in order to fill the gaps again. But nothing will come of it since many of the most important raw materials come from Russia of all places.

“If the supply chain problems persist, it could take some of the most important arms manufacturers years to meet the demand created by the war in Ukraine,” explained SIPRI researcher Diego Lopes da Silva to Manager Magazin.
