Month: September 2024

On September 1, Sunday, a Muslim man identified as Imran was arrested by the police for burning a copy of the Quran in the Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh and supporting Ramgiri Maharaj. The man posted his video of burning the Quran on social media, raising the hackles of the Muslim community. 

As per the reports, the members of the Muslim community rushed to the police station after watching the video and demanded the arrest of the accused. The police filed an FIR in the case and arrested Imran. They have also stated that stern action will be taken against him.

The complaint in the case has been filed by Shahid, a councillor from Ward 24 in Shikarpur, Bulandshahr district, against the accused Imran at the Shikarpur police station.

He stated that on September 1st, Imran, a resident of Mohalla Ganj Sadat, shared a video on social media. “In the viral video, Imran is seen burning the Quran Sharif, Islam’s sacred book. He is also making inappropriate comments about Islam. This has infuriated Muslims. Imran, the accused, should face serious consequences,” he said. Based on the complaint, the police have filed an FIR against the accused Imran under sections 192, 299, 302, and 353 of the IPC.

The FIR copy filed in the case mentioned that the accused had hurt the religious sentiments of the Muslim community. Imran, in the video, indicated that Islam was never a peaceful religion and that the people following it were committing a mistake. “Quran suggests to murder Kafirs, it promotes teen talakh and halal practices which lead to disrespecting women. Also, Sharia allows the marriage of a 9-year-old girl just because Paigamber Mohammed did it. Is this justice? Many today are raping minors, abusing them. How can people snatch the childhood of minors? There’s no equality in Islam,” the accused said.

He further added that whatever Swami Ramgiri Maharaj said was all correct. “Mohammed Paigamber has promoted all the wrong things. I agree I don’t know complete Islam but I have the guts to call out wrongdoings which these Maulanas and Muftis can’t do. I am just burning away this book. What these people have done to Bangladeshi Hindus is also wrong. Further, these Muslims are yelling slogans of ‘Sar Tan Se Juda’ against Swami Ramgiri Maharaj who spoke for Bangladeshi Hindus. These Muslims eliminated the context in which Swami Ramgiri Maharaj said and accused him of blasphemy. I am against all this, committing this act and accepting Sanatan Dharma. The video of the incident was posted by Super Live News and the statements quoted above have been published by Super Live News quoting accused Imran from the viral video.

In the given case, the UP Police is said to have responded quickly to arrest Imran. The mobs that bayed for Imran’s blood have hailed the police for arresting the accused. SP Rural Rohit Mishra commented on the matter and confirmed that a video of the burning Quran Sharif has gone viral.

“The complaint was submitted by Shahid, a Shikarpur resident. Based on Shahid’s accusation, an FIR has been filed against the accused Imran under serious sections. Imran, the accused, has been arrested. There is peace in the area,” he said.

The German author Jakob Nolte wrote in one of his novels that things that kill you by either “peng peng” or “bla bla.” Even though in Germany (and other places in Western Europe) the correct version would be “stab stab” instead of “peng peng,” yesterday’s regional elections are indicating that the German people had enough of both. Two former states of East Germany, Saxony and Thuringia, voted overwhelmingly against the parties of the federally ruling “traffic light coalition” — Social Democrats, Greens and liberal Free Democrats — demonstrating that they no longer trust Chancellor Scholz’s and Vice Chancellor Habeck’s “bla bla” on any issue of importance.

The ruling parties and their acolytes in the legacy media tried everything they could to swing the election in their favour. The German weekly Der Spiegel was running cover after cover depicting Germany on the brink of falling to the Nazis or a Fascist takeover. Companies that are considering leaving the country due to the disastrous economic policies of the current government all of a sudden jumped gears, telling people to vote for the very parties that are making Germany once again the economic sick man of Europe. They campaigned that “Made in Germany” also meant “Made by Diversity.” These are the same companies, by the way, which claimed that the refugee wave of 2015 was “as an opportunity to help companies grow and ensure long-term prosperity.”

Yet, as the Financial Times reported, three years after over a million migrants came to Germany, top companies only employed 54 refugees. As Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” In Eastern Germany, we are beginning to see the third stage of that aphorism. Being told that turning off functioning nuclear power plants will make energy cheaper, how more and more migrants from entirely different cultures will make Germany better, and, ultimately, that anyone who disagrees with the Left-Green agenda is a Nazi, simply was too much. 

The current federal government in Berlin of the three-party coalition were absolutely clobbered by the voters. In Saxony and Thuringia, the Free Democrats did not even clear the five per cent threshold, meaning they are no longer part of the regional parliament. The Greens and Social Democrats together got just 12.5 per cent in Saxony and in Thuringia, only the Social Democrats got over five per cent with a meagre 6.1 per cent.

Only the supposedly conservative Christian Democrats could make gains or avoid significant loses, coming in first in Saxony with 31.9 per cent of the vote (-0.2 percentage points) and second in Thuringia with 23.6 per cent (+1.9). Yet this is no reason for celebration, because the absolute winners of the night were the anti-establishment newcomers on both the Right and the Left. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is now the undisputed leading party in Thuringia with 32.8 per cent (+9.4) and a very close second in Saxony (30.6 per cent, a plus of 3.1 percentage points). The other surprise was the recently formed Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) a left-wing version of the AfD founded by the namesake of the party after she left the former communist party of “Die Linke” (The Left). In her first electoral test, Wagenknecht led her party to almost 12 per cent in Saxony and 16 per cent in Thuringia, making BSW the third largest force in the new legislative assemblies.

Most of the media will frame this as a victory of far-right and far-left populists, but that description is missing the point. The true defining quality of these two parties is that they are  anti-establishment, especially on issues like migration and the war in Ukraine, but even more so as representatives of an ever-larger number of ordinary Germans who feel either ignored or despised by the traditional parties. And, to paraphrase Talleyrand, the traditional parties “have learnt nothing, and forgotten nothing.”

Instead of taking the will of the voters seriously, members of the coalition government complain that they have not “communicated clearly enough,” which is their way of saying that the average voter is just too stupid to understand and appreciate the brilliance of people like Olaf Scholz and Robert Habeck. Without their – and Angela Merkel’s – supposed “brilliance” there would not even be an AfD or a BSW. In poll after poll the voters expressed their dissatisfaction with the direction of the country, and a majority of the parties either ignored them or recycled Merkel’s line that their policies – from mass migration to the energy transition – are without an alternative. Instead of taking the voters seriously, they were ignored and, as the great Mark Steyn once wrote, “if the political culture forbids respectable politicians from raising certain issues, voters will turn to unrespectable ones.” In other words, if BSW and AfD are Frankenstein’s monster, the role of Frankenstein is filled by Merkel, Scholz, and Habeck.

You will also hear a lot about how democracy is now under threat, when in truth these elections were a showcase for democracy. Voter participation increased significantly from the mid 60s to over 74 per cent, making the strong performance of the AfD and the BSW all the more significant. These were not the results brought on by an electorate that rejects democracy, but one that decided to participate in its process. The hubris of the Greens, the Social Democrats, an the Merkel “Conservatives” that only votes for them are democratic votes reveals the totalitarian mindset of which they accuse the AfD. What saved the CDU in these elections were civil servants and voters over 60, because in the age groups 18 to 59 the AfD was dominating.

Eastern Germany’s Gen Z is moving towards either the anti-establishment Right or the anti-establishment Left, but they are done with the traditional parties. In doing so, they also ended the myth of the Greens being the party of youth. That ship sailed a long time ago. The future looks bright for anti-establishment movements, and based on the reaction during election night it looks as if the former mainstream parties will only double down on their failed strategies. They will cling to the illusion that the parties that got less than five per cent are the “centre” while those that got over 30 per cent are the “fringe.” Good luck with that.

Who created victorious AfD and BSW? Merkel and her mates, deaf to the people (brusselssignal.eu)

As knife crime becomes more of an “everyday” part of life in Germany, more and more people are concerned about how they should respond if they are attacked or threatened with a knife. The Berlin police’s tip to “sing loudly” has now been dropped from their website after being widely mocked on X.

“A screenshot of our homepage has been circulating for a few days, according to which we recommend that in the event of an attack, you irritate the perpetrator through unexpected behavior, such as singing,” write Berlin’s police. However, they then go on to write that they have removed this advice from their website.

“This is recommended by the professional associations for psychiatry, among others. However, this advice does not correspond to our police experience and has therefore no longer been part of our recommendations since 2023. The flyer was already updated, now our website is too.”

Seit einigen Tagen kursiert ein Screenshot unserer Homepage, laut dem wir empfehlen, im Falle eines Angriffs, den Täter durch unerwartetes Verhalten, wie z.B. Singen, zu irritieren.
In Abgrenzung zu terroristischen Anschlägen, Amoktaten und bewaffneten Angriffen – auch mit…

— Polizei Berlin (@polizeiberlin) August 30, 2024

However, the “tip” also sparked broad coverage in the German media, with Berliner Zeitung writing in response to the advice, “What sounds like a bad joke is actually meant seriously. The police give Berliners tips on how to deal with violent situations on their website and write that ‘statistically speaking, many will never get into” such a situation. On the other hand, 48,200 physical assaults were recorded last year, the highest number in 10 years, which reduces many people’s sense of security.”

Some users on X questioned why the advice was not taken down earlier, considering the police already knew since 2023 that this tip did not work.

Nevertheless, there is increasing interest from the public about how to respond to knife attacks in the wake of data showing that there are now 10 knife attacks in Berlin per day. Just last week, a mother of four was brutally murdered outside her home by her ex-husband, a Lebanese national thought to have connections with the clan gang scene.

According to Berlin police, 3,482 knife attacks were recorded in the city last year. In 918 cases, people were seriously injured. Over half of the suspects, 53.5 percent, did not have a German passport. Only 25 percent of Berliners do not have German citizenship, showing the disproportionately high role of foreigners in such crimes. In addition, the data shows that 16 percent of the “German” suspects have a dual passport. Even those German suspects with only a German passport, many of them have a foreign background through their parents or grandparents.

A Berlin prosecutor, for example, stated that 75 percent of clan gang members actually have citizenship, which means every time they commit a crime, it is recorded as “German.”

In general, those facing a knife attack should remain as calm as possible, draw attention to the attacker, from others in the area, such as saying, “Careful, you have a knife there.” Most importantly, create distance between you and the attacker and look for potential escape routes.

Populist anti-mass migration parties made significant gains in state elections in Germany on Sunday, with the right-wing Alternative for Germany projected to have secured a resounding victory in Thuringia.

Exit polls for the east German state of Thuringia have put the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) out on top, with a projected 30.5 per cent of the vote, beating out the neo-liberal centrist Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party formerly led by Chancellor Angela Merkel at 24.5 per cent.

Should the exit polls prove true, it would mark the first time that the AfD was the winner in a state election in Germany.

Separately, in the state of Saxony, the AfD is in a tight race for the top with the CDU, with exit polls projecting the centrist party to have won 31.5 per cent of the vote, compared to 30 per cent for the AfD, broadcaster DW reports.

However, given the slim divide between the two parties, it is still possible that the populist party may yet squeak out a victory in Saxony as well.

Hailing the success of her party, AfD co-leader Alice Weidel said that her party should be involved in the state governments, pushing back against reported plans by other parties to band together to block the populists from entering government. 

“Under normal circumstances, in order to stick to the customs in this country, the strongest party is exploring, and that is the AfD,” Weidel said referring to Thuringia. “The voters want the AfD to be involved in a government. We have 30 per cent of the voters in both federal states, and without us, a stable government is no longer possible.”

Meanwhile, left-wing populist Sahra Wagenknecht’s eponymous party is projected to have cracked double digits in both states, currently forecast to have won 12.5 per cent in Thuringia and 12 per cent in Saxony. The good results for her upstart party, the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), demonstrate the appeal of anti-mass migration policies on both the left and right-wing ends of German politics.

Sahra Wagenknecht, formerly of The Left party, formed her own party earlier this year after disagreements with her previous party members on issues such as lockdowns, vaccine mandates, the war in Ukraine, and mass migration. Arguing from a left-wing perspective Wagenknecht has criticised mass migration for undercutting the working class of Germany and draining state resources.

While many of her key policies are similar to those espoused by the AfD, Wagenknecht has so far ruled out partnering with the right-wing party, and this week accused the AfD’s lead candidate in Thuringia, Björn Höcke, of holding “Nazi ideology”.

The results for Wagenknecht’s upstart party will likely put her in a position to challenge more meaningfully in next year’s federal elections. Just a few months old, her party already surpassed the Social Democrats of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, which are projected to have only managed to win 7 per cent of the vote in Thuringia and 8.5 per cent in Saxony.

Pressure is beginning to mount on French President Emmanuel Macron, with a survey finding that a majority of the French public want to see him step down.

According to an Ipsos survey for the Le Monde newspaper, conducted between July 26th to August 1st, 51 per cent of the French people are in favour of President Macron resigning.

The poll also found that 53 per cent were not satisfied with Macron’s leadership, compared to just 15 per cent who were and 32 per cent who were neither.

The survey comes amid continued political chaos in France as the country has been left for nearly two months without an actual government, with Prime Minsiter Gabriel Attal only staying on as a caretaker with no power to enact new legislation.

While President Macron had partnered with the leftist New Popular Front (NFP) in a last-ditch election gambit to prevent Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) from winning the second round of the snap legislative elections last month, he has so far refused to form a government with the NFP.

This has prompted calls for impeachment from the far-left La France Insoumise (LFI) party of former presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who is often compared to America’s Bernie Sanders or Britain’s Jeremy Corbyn.

The LFI has argued that it must “defend democracy against the president’s authoritarian leanings”. However, the far-left may not have much of a leg to stand on, given that while the New Popular Front won the most seats, it did not win the most votes, that distinction goes to Le Pen’s National Rally.

Furthermore, the NFP has been urging Macron to appoint Lucie Castets as his next prime minister, yet the socialist economist and former French deep state bureaucrat has never been elected to any post and did not even run in last month’s elections, undercutting the left’s claim to the role of saviours of democracy.

It is also unclear if Mélenchon will be able to build enough bridges to get enough votes to impeach Macron, with two-thirds of the National Assembly and Senate combined needed to oust a president, meaning that the far-left leader would likely need to woo Le Pen’s faction to meet that hurdle.

The French Constitution is rather vague about what to do in case of a hung parliament or indeed on the necessary elements needed to spark an impeachment of a president. Under Article 68, the constitution says that a president may be removed “in the event of a breach of duty manifestly incompatible with the exercise of his mandate.” Before 2007, it was a touch more clear, with a president only being able to be impeached for “high treason”.

It was another murder of a woman, a so-called femicide! Again in Berlin. Again with a knife. In the evening, a man stabbed his former partner (28) to death in Lichtenberg. She is the mother of two children. His ‘motive’: disappointed love.

It was only late on Wednesday evening that a man brutally stabbed his ex-wife to death in front of a block of flats in the Zehlendorf district of Berlin. She also succumbed to her serious injuries.

The scene of the crime this time: Dolgenseestraße in Friedrichsfelde. The killer (45) lay in wait for his ex-girlfriend at her front door. He rang the doorbell, she opened it – and then, completely out of the blue, he allegedly stabbed the young woman with a knife.

Neighbours became aware of the victim’s screams and called the police. The woman lay bleeding in the hallway outside her front door. An emergency doctor and paramedics attended to the seriously injured woman. She was resuscitated and taken to hospital. However, she died there shortly afterwards and the knife-wielding attacker fled the scene. He was arrested an hour later two kilometres from the scene of the crime at Rummelsburg S-Bahn station. Sebastian Büchner, spokesman for the Berlin public prosecutor’s office, said: ‘The accused is the victim’s ex-partner.’
The suspect was born in Turkey. The murder victim comes from Greece. The woman has two children. They were with their biological father at the time of the crime.

As in the Zehlendorf case, was the ex-boyfriend banned from approaching the victim? ‘No,’ said Büchner. ‘But the woman had filed a complaint against her ex-boyfriend for stalking.’ He could not say when this was dated, but the woman was apparently still desperately trying to get help from neighbours. A bloody fingerprint can be seen on the doorbell. The flat door has been sealed by the 6th homicide squad.

A judge issued an arrest warrant for the 45-year-old, as requested by the public prosecutor’s office, the authorities announced on the online platform X. The accused is therefore in custody.

Femizid: Stalker (45) ersticht Mutter (28) von zwei Kindern (bz-berlin.de)

At the start of school, Viennese secondary school headmaster Christian Klar reports dramatic conditions in the classrooms. It is surprising that neither the Vienna city government nor the federal government react to this.

Pupil disappeared to fight for Islamic State

‘What’s going on in our schools?’ asks Headmaster Klar in his book, which was published yesterday, Friday, by the Seifert publishing house. In it, the teacher talks about his day-to-day work – and over the course of 40 years, it has revealed some shocking things: for example, Ramazan, who was determined to graduate from school and then left for Syria in the dark to fight for Islamic State.

‘I don’t care, I’ll stab the headmaster’

The book also features Aleksandar, who, when he is transferred to a new school, writes in his WhatsApp group: ‘I don’t care, I’ll stab the headmaster’. The headmaster talks about boys who demand an Islamic prayer room at the school but show absolutely no tolerance for other religions. Five young girls who suddenly come to school covered up after being sexually harassed on a massive scale. ‘For protection’, as the book says. Their parents had advised them to do so.

No support from the ministry

Klar said in an Oe24 interview that he would like to see a very clear, strict directive on the clothing requirement, ‘so that it is clear to everyone living in Austria that we don’t want that’. He would like to see more support from the Ministry of Education.

Situation exacerbated by family reunification

Reading the book, it quickly becomes clear to everyone: Islam is omnipresent in Viennese schools. Family reunification, which brings around 350 children per month from Syria and Afghanistan to Austria (most of them to Vienna) under the black-green government, is not defusing the situation, but making it worse.

Kickl: ‘Last chance to stop this development’

FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl has commented on his Facebook page on the dramatic conditions in schools, which Klar has made public in an unsparing and uncensored manner. According to Kickl, the upcoming election would be the very last chance to stop this development. ‘All of us together,’ he wrote, ‘can prevent the ultimate horror scenario on the 29th of September.

Wearing headscarves not out of solidarity, but out of fear

Will the Federal President allow this? Alexander Van der Bellen literally said in 2017: ‘We will have to ask all women to wear a headscarf – out of solidarity’. He won’t need to, because this is apparently already happening in schools – not out of solidarity, but out of fear.

Dictatorship of the Robe: In Brazil, the judiciary is accused of repressing opponents. Freedom of speech has become so limited that even X, formerly Twitter, has left the largest country in South America. One of the most evident examples of censorship is being experienced by the Bolsonaro family, as Eduardo Bolsonaro denounced in Mexico.

During his speech at CPAC Mexico, Brazilian Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro condemned the restrictions on freedom of speech in his home country by the judiciary. He criticized how both he and his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, have been targets of judicial censorship.

Electoral Court Censorship Affected Bolsonaro’s Campaign

The persecution is so intense that Brazil’s highest electoral body, the Superior Electoral Court, banned the use of images from the September 7th Independence Day demonstrations in Jair Bolsonaro’s electoral campaign. Millions of Brazilians took to the streets in the largest demonstrations in Brazil’s history, yet the «justice» system prohibits showcasing them. Isn’t democracy supposed to be the will of the people? In Brazil, that will is being silenced. Eduardo Bolsonaro claims this directly harmed his father’s electoral narrative. «My father couldn’t use it in his TV campaign,» he lamented.

«In Brazil, especially, all censorship comes from the judiciary,» he added.

He also mentioned that censorship has reached the audiovisual sector. Brazil’s «justice» system has silenced documentaries about the judicial proceedings against former President Bolsonaro. As a contrast to how the country’s reality has changed, it’s important to note that the production company Brasil Paralelo (whose name suggests there is an alternative nation to what the judiciary tries to impose) made a documentary about the 2018 election acts and the judicial controversies surrounding Jair Bolsonaro, and no judge said anything.

Brazil Suffers a Dictatorship of the Robe

But now, the control of the STF, Supreme Federal Court, is such that it even censors social networks. Eduardo Bolsonaro claims that this dictatorship of the robe not only represses freedom of expression but also has a clear political bias and even serves electoral purposes. On one hand, it harms the Bolsonaros (right-wing), while on the other, it benefits Lula Da Silva (left-wing).

It is not insignificant that most of the justices of the Supreme Federal Court were appointed by presidents from Lula’s party, the Workers’ Party, indicating their leftist leaning.

Even a Progressive Journalist Denounces Persecution Against the Bolsonaros

It’s worth noting that these accusations go beyond just Eduardo Bolsonaro. Even journalist Glenn Greenwald has exposed the censorship against the Bolsonaros. Greenwald, who resides in Brazil, married a man there, and they adopted two children, is an LGBT activist who now supports the conservative leaders. Additionally, Greenwald is openly anti-Zionist, while the Bolsonaros have shown support for Israel.

Despite being on opposite ends of the political spectrum, Greenwald has stood out as a defender of freedom of expression and denounces its censorship, regardless of its source. Since his late partner was Brazilian, Greenwald has lived in Brazil for years and is familiar with the local reality.

In fluent Portuguese, Greenwald denounced on X that someone was arrested based on a false accusation that even the media retracted, all without a trial. He then laments that these individuals were left to rot for months, hoping they would betray someone. He further claims that any journalist who tries to interview them about their unjust imprisonment is censored. This is Xandão, he declared.

Greenwald also noted in the same thread that he was one of the journalists censored for interviewing Lula in 2018. «After Folha obtained authorization, I also went. It was outrageous, but… at least Lula was convicted and arrested (affirmed by Xandão/STF). Filipe Martins wasn’t, but he was jailed for 6 months for lying, without a prior trial.»

For those unaware, Filipe Martins was one of Jair Bolsonaro’s closest advisors, serving as his consultant on international matters. He went from a high-ranking position to jail, all without due process. It’s worth recalling that Che Guevara said that due process was a «bourgeois fetish.» When the extreme left is in power, it often disregards the right to a defense.

Eduardo Bolsonaro himself has echoed Greenwald’s accusations on social media. He pointed out that what Greenwald says is true: «Filipe wasn’t even convicted; his preventive detention was so strange that they fear what he might say in an interview. The only option left was to censor him. But don’t worry, the truth comes from all sides. Resorting to censorship is a sign of the desperation that precedes the fall.»

Elon Musk Shut Down Operations in Brazil Due to Censorship and Persecution

During his recent visit to Mexico, Eduardo Bolsonaro revealed that the persecution extends even to social media employees like those at Twitter in Brazil. He accused them of being threatened with imprisonment if they did not comply with court orders to censor content related to the Bolsonaro family and their political allies. As a result, Elon Musk announced that he would close operations in Brazil.

Justice in Brazil Has an Ideological and Partisan Bias

Perhaps the gravest issue is how this censorship serves political purposes. During the 2022 campaign, the judiciary even prohibited linking then-presidential candidate Lula Da Silva with drug trafficking (and even fined Bolsonaro for saying it), abortion, and tyrants like Daniel Ortega and Nicolás Maduro, Lula’s allies.

It sounds like something out of a dystopian novel, but it’s the reality in Brazil. The Superior Electoral Court has the power to ban speeches to benefit the left and harm the right. They don’t want it revealed that Brazil is the cradle of the largest organized crime network in South America: the PCC (First Capital Command). And during his time in prison as a guerrilla, Lula Da Silva was cellmates with the founder of the PCC, meaning their connection goes back a long way.

International analyst and columnist Lucas Ribeiro explained to Gateway Hispano that Brazil today is like a mix of Orwell’s «1984» with «Chaves del 8» and Woody Allen’s movie «Bananas»: an authoritarian and censorious system, while at the same time being like a «fourth-division 1984.» It’s «1984» mixed with a «Banana Republic,» authoritarianism with something very ridiculous.
