The latest hard-line policy proposed by Germany’s opposition CDU party would see social benefits to asylum seekers become contingent on their willingness to work and integrate into society, according to a report by the German newspaper Bild.
Prominent members of the party have called for work to be compulsory for all asylum seekers, while others believe that payments should be cut if migrants refuse.
“It is important for us districts and would help with social acceptance if refugees get work quickly, alternatively also in non-profit organizations,” said Joachim Walter, the president of the CDU district council, who questioned whether the social benefits Germany gives new arrivals “always provide the right incentives for refugees.”
Walter’s view was echoed by Alexander Dobrindt, the head of the CSU state group in the Bundestag, who proposed that social welfare payments be linked with a refugee’s willingness to work, insisting they have a “duty to cooperate” and integrate into society.
“An offer of work must be part of the integration process. If this offer is not accepted, there must be cuts in benefits,” said Dobrindt.
The proposal found some cross-party support within the FDP, which is currently a member of the federal coalition government with the SPD and the Green party, and also among municipal leaders.
FDP MP Stephan Thomae agreed that lawmakers should aim “to control migration in such a way that there is no immigration into the social systems, but into the German labor market instead,” while Steffen Jäger, the president of the Baden-Württemberg municipal council, also offered his support.
“Our welfare state helps those who need help. However, the state must be able to expect that every individual will then also contribute to the success of society within the scope of their possibilities. For example, through charitable work,” he added.
The policy is the latest in a number of attempts by the CDU to take charge of the immigration debate and wrestle back control from the rising Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which is leading the narrative and winning voters at considerable speed.
Last week, Thorsten Frei, the deputy chairman of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag, called for the European Union to abolish the right to asylum for those arriving illegally in the bloc and instead introduce quotas whereby the most vulnerable refugees are taken directly from source countries.
He explained that under such a policy, individuals would no longer be eligible for asylum by simply arriving in Europe, and social benefits for newcomers arriving using current migratory routes would be “comprehensively ruled out.”
Did a Syrian want to extinguish the lives of many people with a murderous attack?
The small town of Tostedt (14500 inhabitants) in Lower Saxony was in great turmoil on July 7. Police officers, some heavily armed, could be seen in many places. But the authorities remained silent for over a week about the reason for such a large-scale operation.
Then it came out: the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) had received information from a foreign intelligence service about a dangerous person in Tostedt who, according to the service’s findings, was planning a “serious act endangering the state”.
The newspaper BILD learned that the Syrian Mihar A. (27) had come to the attention of the authorities in a refugee accommodation near the Tostedt railway station because he was suspected of wanting to carry out a terrorist attack with an explosive belt.
Mr A. had come to Germany as an asylum seeker. According to the news magazine “Spiegel”, he had asked for prayers to be offered on his behalf on social media before a suspected attack was planned.
But this never happened! On July 7, investigators from the Federal Criminal Police Office, police officers from Lower Saxony and constitutional protectors intervened, arrested the Syrian near his accommodation, and had previously searched for the man with numerous police forces – which had triggered fear in the population.
Investigators then searched Mihar A.’s room of about ten square metres in the street Am Helferichheim, where he had been living since December 2022. However, no explosives or similar instrumentalities have been found so far.
A resident of the accommodation told BILD: “The police really searched everything. I can’t really imagine that Mihar wanted to plan such a crime. He seemed like a womaniser, but at some point he grew a beard and went to pray all the time.”
A judge placed the 27-year-old in long-term custody for 14 days. But the Syrian terror suspect was released on July 21 – to the consternation of the police! The police filed an urgent appeal, which was rejected by the Tostedt District Court. The police wanted to have the custody extended by 14 days for further investigations.
Now the Celle Higher Regional Court is to decide whether the suspect will be returned to custody. Until then, the police are hiding the terror suspect in a specially secured refugee accommodation in the industrial area in the street Zum Reiherhorst in Stelle.
BILD reporters tracked down Mihar A. there. He currently has to wear an ankle bracelet on his left foot with a transmitter, the data of which is transmitted around the clock to the police in Lüneburg. Asked by BILD about the terror suspicions, A. said: “I don’t want to say anything about the accusations.
On Monday July 24, 2023, an attack took place in the early afternoon at the lake of Créteil. A man armed with a knife tried to attack “non-Muslim” passers-by.
The quick intervention of the police prevented a tragedy as there were no casualties. One man was arrested.
“The psychiatric examination of the arrested man revealed that he no longer has the ability to judge. An application to the prefecture for admission to hospital without the person’s consent is currently being made,” the public prosecutor’s office said. Actu Val-de-Marne

Analysis of research by the major German think tank the Konrad Adenauer Foundation has found Muslims can be over four times as likely to agree with antisemitic statements than the general population.
An investigation into the prevalence of antisemitic opinions in Germany has found, in general, that such views are vanishingly rare in the country, but that they are held to a much greater degree among some groups. Research conducted in 2022 and published this week which interviewed 5,511 people including 500 Muslims asked members of the public by telephone whether they agreed with some harmful tropes.
It found just four per cent agreed with the statement “Jews are sneaky”, and that six per cent agreed with “rich Jews are the actual rulers of the world”. Israel also enjoyed overwhelming majority support, with four per cent saying it should not exist as a state.
Several demographic differentiators including where in Germany the respondent lived, their age, and gender made “almost no systematic difference” to the results, it was said.
Yet some factors, including holding hard left and hard right political opinions, low levels of education, and having a migration background increased the likelihood of holding antisemitic views, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation ‘Anti-Semitic Attitudes in Germany’ report found. Yet according to the paper, one factor was more influential than the others: holding the Islamic faith.
The report found “on average, people of Muslim faith show significantly higher agreement values [with antisemitic tropes] than Christians and non-denominational people”. Three times as many Muslims would agree that Jewish people are “sneaky”, it said its research discovered, and four times as many said Israel should not be a state.
The greatest differentiation was on the question of whether “rich Jews are the actual rulers of the world”, where over four times as many agreed among the Muslim cohort, taking the figure to 26 per cent — over a quarter — saying they believed the antisemitic claim. These findings were in line with other similar studies, the report asserted.
As for why Muslims might hold these views, the paper was more circumspect, saying the reasons “can be complex” and as “diverse as the groups themselves”. The conclusion suggested the views may be indicative of higher levels of antisemitic views in “their countries of origin” and that further research, taking into account “socialisation, life experience… and region of origin could contribute”.
The findings of this report underlines how, after decades of aggressively stamping out antisemitic ideas after the Second World War, Germany appears to be importing antisemitic ideas from abroad. These new figures will go some way to support the real-life experience of those living in Germany who say they see antisemitism rising.
It was reported in 2019 that two-thirds of Germans in a survey said they felt antisemitic attitudes were increasing, and that such sentiments were bleeding through from the fringes into the mainstream.
The Washington Post has released a story headlined “Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt.” Highlights of the article include seals finding waters too hot, there is a radical change in climatic conditions, temperatures are rising in the arctic, and glaciers are disappearing. Same old story, and I do mean an old story — this particular item appeared in 1922.
The Left has taken umbrage at the circulation of the story on social media because it was embellished with a warning that the sea level would rise and coastal cities would become uninhabitable. It’s true that the archived article says nothing about rising sea levels or the habitability of coastal cities. It is also true that the mainstream media has been issuing strident warnings that melting polar ice will render coastal cities uninhabitable. The World Economic Forum lists cities at risk. CBS News informs us there will be zombie towns from rising sea levels. The United Nations considers melting ice a direct threat to humanity. I find myself wondering why anybody would have a problem with the extrapolation of the 1922 article that melting ice will endanger coastal cities, when that’s what we’ve been told for years and years.
This is why I prefer actual science, like the discovery that thousands of years ago, glaciers retreated at the rate of one quarter of a mile a day. Apparently, the rate of glacial melt is affected, among other things, by the surface upon which the glacier rests. Thwaites glacier is called the Doomsday Glacier because it contains enough ice to raise the sea level by two feet all by itself if it melts. It was moving at the rate of about half a mile a year before it stabilized on a ridge in the bedrock. No one knows when it might start moving again, but it’s only a couple of miles away from smooth flat bedrock.
Scientists have learned that smooth flat bedrock allows ice to practically float above the ground, which facilitates sliding into the sea. The more the glacier slides into the sea, the more pieces break off and the faster it melts. It’s simple physics, and it has nothing to do with so-called man-made global warming. Humans are not responsible for the topography of the land upon which glaciers rest. And if we’re lucky, the scaremongers will be as accurate today as they were a hundred years ago.
The CEO of a major British bank has resigned after admitting to leaking the private banking information of high-profile conservative broadcaster Nigel Farage to the BBC after he was “de-banked” for his political views.
Dame Alison Rose, the CEO of NatWest Group, revealed on Tuesday that she had briefed the British state broadcaster about Farage’s private banking arrangements after the former UKIP and Brexit Party leader went public about a decision made by an unnamed bank to close his accounts and withdraw their services.
After Farage went public with the story and claimed the decision to debank him was politically motivated, the BBC’s business editor Simon Jack published a story that not only named the prestigious Coutts bank, a part of NatWest Group, as the bank in question, but cited an anonymous source who suggested that Farage’s accounts had been closed due to him falling below the minimum balance required to remain a customer.
“People familiar with Coutts’ move said it was a ‘commercial’ decision,” Jack wrote, publishing a quote from his source that stated: “The criteria for holding a Coutts account are clear from the bank’s website. Coutts requires its customers to borrow or invest at least £1 million with the bank or hold £3 million in savings.”
However, a dossier later acquired by Farage via a subject access request from the Coutts Wealth Reputational Risk Committee revealed the murkier reality that the conservative’s accounts were closed after officials decided the former front-line politician’s views did not align with the bank’s values.
It was reported in the British press that Dame Alison Rose, who earned more than £5.2 million last year, sat next to Simon Jack at a charity dinner event in central London the day before Jack’s story was published, and she finally accepted she was the source of the leak on Tuesday evening.
The information on which we based our reporting on Nigel Farage and his bank accounts came from a trusted and senior source. However the information turned out to be incomplete and inaccurate. Therefore I would like to apologise to Mr Farage.
“I recognize that in my conversations with Simon Jack of the BBC, I made a serious error of judgment in discussing Mr. Farage’s relationship with the bank,” Dame Alison said in a statement.
“In response to a general question about eligibility criteria required to bank with Coutts and NatWest I said that guidance on both was publicly available on their websites. In doing so, I recognize that I left Mr. Jack with the impression that the decision to close Mr Farage’s accounts was solely a commercial one.”
She insisted that she was not part of the decision-making process to de-bank Farage and claimed not to have been in receipt of the dossier subsequently published by the conservative.
“I have apologized to Mr. Farage for the deeply inappropriate language contained in those papers and the Board has commissioned a full independent review into the decision and process to ensure that this cannot happen again.
“Put simply, I was wrong to respond to any question raised by the BBC about this case. I want to extend my sincere apologies to Mr. Farage for the personal hurt this has caused him and I have written to him today,” she added.
Despite the Natwest Group board initially expressing its “full confidence” in Dame Alison’s ability to continue in her role, the board met late on Tuesday evening to determine her future after pressure from Downing Street for her to step down.
Revealed: The board of NatWest Group is meeting now to determine the future of Dame Alison Rose, its CEO, after she admitted disclosing inappropriate information to a BBC journalist. It’s expected that she will step down although no final decision has been taken. More soon.
Calls for her resignation were echoed by Farage himself on his GB News show on Tuesday, insisting Dame Alison was “unfit” for the role.
“This is a serious breach. I hadn’t said to anybody that the bank I was having trouble with was Coutts. She chose to put it into the public domain with Simon Jack. She broke an essential confidence,” he added.
Her resignation was announced on Wednesday by Sir Howard Davies, the chairman of the NatWest Group board, who said in a statement: “The board and Alison Rose have agreed, by mutual consent, that she will step down as CEO of the NatWest Group. It is a sad moment.
“She has dedicated all her working life so far to NatWest and will leave many colleagues who respect and admire her,” he added.

Ireland, which used to be a colony of England, is now a colony of the European Union.
The country has fallen victim to the internationalist and multicultural values of the liberal West reminiscent of a child walking into the arms of a kidnapper holding an ice cream cone.
Much of the great collapse occurred after the country walked away from its Catholic roots. To a large degree, Catholicism was the anchor that held Ireland together. Then came the clergy sex scandals, causing understandable anger and sadness, but what did the Irish do?
The Catholic Church was thrown out with the holy water, and then the rudderless nation clamored for another savior: the European Union and the high-tech giants like Google, Facebook, Apple and Twitter, all of whom have made the country their European tax haven headquarters.
The end result has made Ireland wholly reliant—a slave–to the dictates of these ideological multinationals.
Curiously, Ireland’s transition from “the most Catholic country in the world” to a sycophant for the EU seems to have been prophesied in a work of literature, namely James Joyce’s ‘A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.’
In this book, published in 1916, Joyce’s alter ego, Stephen Dedalus, refuses his dying mother’s request to kneel and pray at her bedside. The young artist, who no longer believes, was not about to sacrifice his ‘superior intellect’ for a sentimental, superstitious old Irish woman, even if she was his mother.
The 22–year-old artist tells his mother he will not pray for her. She will have to go to her death “alone,” without his prayers.
Joyce himself revisits the scene in ‘Ulysses,’ published 4 years after ‘Portrait’:
Stephen stood up and went over to the parapet. Leaning on it he looked down on the water and on the mailboat clearing the harbour mouth of Kingstown.
“Our mighty mother!” Buck Mulligan said.
He turned abruptly his grey searching eyes from the sea to Stephen’s face.
“The aunt thinks you killed your mother,” he said. “That’s why she won’t let me have anything to do with you.”
“Someone killed her,” Stephen said gloomily.
“You could have knelt down, Kinch, when your dying mother asked you,” Buck Milligan said. “I’m hyperborean as much as you. But to think of your mother begging you with her last breath to kneel down and pray for her. And you refused. There is something sinister in you.“
Yes, Buck Milligan, there is something sinister in overturning everything established by Saint Patrick and reverting to the Emerald Isle’s old pagan ways.
Let us count the ways.
After the 2020 George Floyd riots in the US, educated young people in Dublin copied American BLM protests, buying up the nation’s sharpies and writing incendiary protest signs while shouting “F-ck you” at police.
Next on the Irish import list—straight from the heart of American academia– was the language of ‘white privilege,’ critical race theory, and gender ideology, each delivered with an equal wallop to young people who would otherwise be sipping Guinness in the local Irish pub.
Next on Ireland’s list was the random destruction of historic statues.
As a 2020 RTE report declared:
“In Ireland today, ‘People Before Profit’ called on local authorities in Galway to remove monuments, which the party claims glorify slavery and racism…..It wants a monument to Christopher Columbus in Galway to be taken down and it is also seeking the removal of a plaque in Tuam, honouring Major Richard (Dick) Dowling, who served with the Confederate army in the US.”
A statue of Major Dowling, commissioned in 1905 for the city of Houston, Texas, was moved into storage during the George Floyd riots of 2020.
In 2015, Ireland passed the Gender Recognition Act, which permitted trans people, beginning at age 18, to have their preferred gender recognized by the State. In 2007 however, Ireland was cited by the EU’s Convention on Human Rights as being behind the rest of Europe on this issue, and informed the country to correct the infraction. Ireland obeyed its colonial masters and was thoroughly on board by 2015.
As a model EU colony, Ireland is now poised to obey another EU command: the eradication of emission gases from the planet, which in practical terms means the slaughtering of 200,000 cows to help save the planet.
Ireland’s Climate Action Plan, engineered by the same people who brought you gender ideology, the legalization of abortion, and 1,000 and one ways to open doors to illegal immigration, made it known that they wanted to halve carbon emissions by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050.
The slashing of carbon emissions by 51% by 2030, the government’s goal, was called “hugely significant” by Eamon Ryan, the country’s environment minister and Irish Green party leader.
And since agriculture causes about 37% of Ireland’s emissions, the woke target was put on cows, the same moocow that Joyce writes about in the opening pages of a “Portrait of the Artist”:
“Once upon a time and a very good time it was there was a moocow coming down along the road and this moocow that was coming down along the road met a nicens little boy named baby tuckoo…”
Tuckoo, however, is not a very nice boy.
He’s an EU agent with a sledgehammer and he stands ready to knock the moocow in the head and then slit its throat. His job is to kill 65,000 cows a year for three years in order to meet the United Nations plan to cut a quarter of emissions by 2030.
The Irish slaughtering plan is part of a much larger EU war on European farmers. Farms in Ireland and throughout Europe are facing bankruptcy because of this war, although recently Dutch farmers and fishermen took to the streets and blocked roads to protest the new emission rules.
“Reports like this only serve to further fuel the view that the government is working behind the scenes to undermine our dairy and livestock sectors,” Tim Cullinan, president of the Irish Farmers’ Association was quoted as saying.
Cullinan also stated that the target of the EU was “about the survival of the government rather than the survival of rural Ireland.”
On the other hand, super colonialist Oisin Coghlan, director of the Friends of the Earth Ireland, insisted that agriculture in Ireland should “face higher targets.”
The shape-shifting truth regarding Climate Change—it’s a myth; it’s a half myth; it’s partially true; it’s three-quarters true; it’s so true it’s Apocalypse-time and you better say good-bye to your children– has a sizeable number of scientists offering different opinions and solutions.
But slaughtering cows is not one of them.
In 1895, a New York Times headline ran: “Geologists Think the World May Be Frozen Up Again.”
‘The Times’ in 1932, announced: “Melting Polar Ice Caps to Raise the Level of Seas and Flood the Continent.”
Harper’s Magazine in 1958, predicted: “The Coming Ice Age.”
Conversely, the Capital Research Center in 2023, filed a report on “The Global Warming Scan: Carbon is Not a Poison.”
The EU, United Nations and most globalist progressive equity superpowers will naturally take extreme views, such as they did with the Covid lockdowns and the (mandatory) necessity for vaccines.
All of which means: climate change is the end of the world as we know it, and those moocows in Ireland will be slaughtered.
“If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle,” Carl Sagan wrote.
“We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozie has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
It’s hard to know how Ireland’s future as an EU colony will unfold, although it’s certain that that future, sans a miracle, is not in the direction of Saint Patrick.
An altercation broke out between two communities in Darbhanga district of Bihar after some miscreants created a ruckus during a peace meeting called to settle a dispute over installing a religious flag near a temple premises on Sunday, July 23.
According to the reports a peace meeting was called by the administration on Sunday after an altercation broke out between the two sides over installing a flag near a Durga temple near Bazar Samiti Chowk of Shivdhara under Mabbi police station limits on Saturday night.
It’s been learnt that during the meeting a few miscreants from a particular community started a ruckus following which the two sides pelted stones on each other injuring a few. Learning about the incident, heavy deployment of the security personnel have been made by the police in view of preventing any untoward incident.
Speaking with the media, Awkash Kumar, Senior Superintendent of the police (SSP) Bhagalpur said “that a dispute broke out between the communities over installing of a flag following which city SP and SHOs of the nearest police station were deployed to find an amicable solution.”
“Both sides had almost agreed to settle the dispute when some miscreants created a ruckus following which stones were pelted by both the groups. So far there has been no reports of any injury, the situation is under control and the miscreants are being identified, we will investigate the matter and action will be taken”,added SSP Kumar.
Further in a tweet the Darbhanga police while refuting a few media reports clarified that no flag has been installed on the temple nor any incident of stone pelting on the temple has occurred.
Of late Bihar has witnessed a number of communal flare-ups lately as clashes between the two communities erupted following an alleged attack on the Ramnavami procession in Nalanda and Bihar Sharif districts.
Hunter Biden can get caught with evidence of enough drug use to send ten working-class people to jail for a century, along with enough financial shenanigans to send the middle class of an entire town to prison (never mind the gun thing) and get a light tentative slap on the wrist.
So why shouldn’t Joe Biden’s dog bite people left and right?
Judicial Watch announced today that it received 194 pages of records from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealing 10 attacks by President Joe Biden’s German Shepherd, Commander, on officers and agents of the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) between October 2022 and January 2023, and do not include any possible recent events. In several cases the agents required medical care, including at a hospital.
Want to guess what would happen to a normal person’s dog if it bit a federal law enforcement officer once, never mind multiple times, including hospital visits?
The dog named “Zeus” which was declared dangerous by the city of Elk Grove, has been put down, despite desperate pleas from its owner.
The owner had appealed several rulings to euthanize the German shepherd after it bit three people, including a police officer.
The city issued a statement tonight reading, “The humane euthanasia of the dangerous animal was necessary and appropriate in this instance.”
But this is how things go if you’re Joe Biden and are immune from accountability and mere laws.
On November 3, 2022, a Secret Service official at “JOCATDESK” [Joint Operations Center Assistant to the Special Agent in Charge] emails colleagues in the Presidential Protective Division:
Commander bite [sic] UD [Uniform Division] officer [redacted] at post [redacted] two times, one time in the upper right arm and a second bite on the officer’s thigh. WH [White House] medical treated the officer and made the decision to have [redacted] transported to [redacted] Hospital.
A November 4, 2022, email report adds details regarding the previous day’s attack. A Division officer, after being bitten in the arm and thigh, had to use a steel cart to shield himself from another attack:
In a November 5, 2022, email exchange between a Uniformed Division officer and the November 3 attack victim, the first officer asks, “Doing alright [redacted]? That’s freaking crazy that stupid dog – rolling my eyes [redacted].” The victim replies, “My leg and arm still hurts. He bit me twice and ran at me twice.” The colleague replies, “What a joke [redacted] – if it wasn’t their dog he would already have been put down.”
Entirely true. And after a pattern of attacks, the owner could very well face charges. Not happening here.
Laws are for normal people, not for the privileged elites.
The Biden family can do as much drugs as they like, drop guns wherever they like, solicit prostitutes, violation financial laws, set up shell companies to funnel money from foreign countries, and sure, attack secret service personnel.
