In this Sunday evening Mass in St. Antonius in wealthy Oberkassel district of Düsseldorf, the situation of the Catholic Church in Germany was dramatically highlighted. When Monsignor Wilhelm Terboven reads mass, the churchgoer gets to hear something extraordinary. The priest is known for his frank words in sermons and lectures.

In the synodal path, said the Monsignor in his welcome address, the central questions of religion, namely those about faith and God, do not play a role. They are pushed to the margins. And he was very concerned that faith would continue to be lost if Sunday were to be lost as a special day. “Dear people of God,” Terboven addressed the 50 or so people attending the service. A woman had complained to him that he was talking about the people of God, he had reported earlier. Listening to Terboven, it becomes clear what the Christian churches are really lacking, what they should actually be there for.

There are several rumbles at the door of the neo-Romanesque church. And then, suddenly during a song, a man with an object in his fist – only later do I recognise it as a drink can – comes forward behind us through the side aisle. It is frightening. While the congregation is still singing (or rather, listening to the organist), he sits down in the front row right in front of the singing Monsignor Terboven and says something. Now the organ falls silent. The intruder throws himself to the ground in front of the altar and shouts something, I only understand “Allah…”, several participants in the service who were closer confirm this to me later.

Monsignor Teboven calmly says: “You are disturbing our service. You are welcome to sit here, but you must be quiet,” and begins to recite the Creed, the congregation joining in. Meanwhile, a stocky, determined-looking man and then two others run towards the intruder. There is no apparent violence. But the determined congregation members make it clear to the intruder that he has to leave, they escort him out through the side aisle.

Later, in conversation with Terboven and the courageous man himself, I learn that he is the organist – and a policeman in his main profession! He tells me that the troublemaker was visibly intoxicated and perhaps also under other drugs. He had said incomprehensible, confused things about Israel and the Mossad. “He told him, “I don’t care, you get out of here now!

The calmness of the old clergyman and the organist/police officer is remarkable. There is every reason to be afraid: In July 2016, the priest Jacques Hamel was murdered and stabbed in his own church in Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray by two followers of the Islamic State.

Outwardly, Monsignor does not show any signs, he continues the mass with dignity. During the intercessions, he spontaneously added one and said: “There are many people from other countries living among us who have no home here. Like the man who just disturbed our service. The life of migrants is very difficult.”

Also at the end of the service, the monsignor speaks to the congregation again about the incident. He says meaningfully, “The leaders of the Muslims in Europe assume that they will be in power here in a few decades. That should make us think.”

A woman who had left St. Anthony’s Church with her children in fear during the incident went to the police station next to the church. She had seen that the troublemaker was still rioting in a nearby pub after being removed from the church. However, there was only one officer present who could not leave the station. So he called colleagues. One of them asked the witness from the church: “Has he committed a crime?” He obviously doesn’t know section 167 of the penal code. It says: “Whoever intentionally and grossly disturbs the worship or an act of worship of a church or other religious society existing in the country, or commits insulting mischief in a place dedicated to the worship of such a religious society, shall be punished with imprisonment for not more than three years or with a fine.”

But the police seem to know the person who disturbed the service. During the phone call, the police officer suspects that it is the same man who is said to have disturbed a church service in a similar way in the Heerdt district of Düsseldorf. Apparently he did not receive a prison sentence for this.

On the way home, I finally see a patrol car driving through the streets around the church.

The morning after, the press office of the Düsseldorf police did not know anything about the incident, nor did they know about any charges. The press officer later got back to me and said that the police were in contact with the parish about the matter.

Professional soccer player Keanu Staude was diagnosed with myocarditis, which is an inflammation of the heart muscle. The former Bielefeld player, a key member of 1860 Munich, complained of feeling unwell after a match on January 30. Staude, 25, was fully vaccinated.

The club’s manager Günther Gorenzel had boasted in November last year that his team had a 100 percent vaccination rate, meaning that all sixty members – including players and staff – had been forced to take the shot. Gorenzel had coerced the “skeptics” among them. “I can only say that so far nobody has shown me a solution how to get out of the pandemic without vaccination.”

Staude was examined by medical professionals according to club officials who said he had developed inflammation of the heart muscle.

A statement from the club was issued: “In order not to take any further risks, Keanu Staude will not be able to do competitive sports for at least four weeks and will therefore not be available.” But for all intents and purposes, Staude’s soccer career has ended.

Director Gorenzel hinted at that in his statement. “Keanu will not be doing any more training for the time being and will only rejoin the team after approval by our medical team.”

Staude is one of luckier dozens of soccer players who have suffered from the jab. The 22-year-old Greek soccer player Alexandros Lampis, who played for Ilioupoli FC, died this month. Lampis collapsed after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest during a match.

His dramatic demise happened just 14 minutes into the game at the First Municipal Stadium of Ilioupoli and the match was abandoned shortly afterward. Ilioupoli FC announced his passing not long after the incident.

The shocking increase in soccer players suffering sudden cardiac arrests in 2021 and 2022 is being ignored in the mainstream media.

A person armed with a tool attacked and injured passers-by in the Rue Robert-Collet in Le Mans on Saturday morning, February 5, 2022. The man was holding a Koran and shouting “Allah akbar”. He then entered the La Foir’Fouille shop before being arrested by the police.

(…) A man randomly threatened and attacked several passers-by on Rue Robert-Collet in Le Mans, near the Carrefour Centre Sud shopping centre.

Armed with a tool (a screwdriver) and holding a Koran, he shouted “Allah akbar” (God is great) several times. He injured three people, but not seriously, according to our sources.

The perpetrator then entered the La Foir’Fouille shop. The police were quickly on the scene and arrested him, which was difficult due to the attacker’s resistance. Ouest-France

Patients have been shocked since it became known with which “ethical claims” medical professionals communicate in the Facebook group “Doctors versus Covid19”. There they discuss in the crudest jargon, they make fun of vaccination damage. Member of the National Council Christian Hafenecker ( Freedom Party of Austria) has summarised the atrocities in a video contribution:

A member of this honourable society, to which three to four thousand doctors belong according to various media reports, is also the president of the Medical Association, Thomas Szekeres, for whose resignation about 76,000 people have already signed a petition. And – particularly interesting – also senior physician Dr. Marton Széll, a Corona Commission member and part of the National Vaccination Board.

According to the member of the National Council of the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ), Christian Hafenecker, Dr Széll had made one of the most disgusting statements in this Facebook group. When asked what one does with a patient who refuses vaccination, Széll, a doctor of tropical medicine, said verbatim:

Shut your gob, you stupid cow. (Halt die Fresse du dumme Sau.)

So this is how the Republic’s top Corona advisor talks.According to Hafenecker, who has leaked chats from the doctors’ group, the last straw was when Mr Széll is said to have bragged about not issuing exemptions from vaccination on principle.

Particularly distasteful in these revealed chats is a message from a Carinthian doctor. When asked by a colleague what he should do with a patient who had received a Johnson&Johnson vaccination and who subsequently suffered facial paralysis, a colleague replied that he would give him the vaccination on the other side of the face so that the face would then become more straight again.

This shows the sense of responsibility and ethics with which physicians in Austria go about their work, said Hafenecker, who would now expect the President of the Chamber to intervene and face the corresponding consequences. Hafenecker also called on the federal government to immediately remove Mr Széll from both boards.

Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) party leader Herbert Kickl responded to a report by the weekly Wochenblick on this matter, saying on Facebook:

More and more alarming evidence is coming to light. The suspicion is growing that useful knowledge & “insider information” have been kept away from the general public in recent months. In the middle of it all: Medical Association President Thomas Szekeres! What is actually going on in this country? What is being covered up here?

Germany, as we well know with its Russian gas capers, is a highly industrialized society in need of a lot of energy. 

Fine and dandy. But how they get it presents increasingly bad options.

They got rid of their nuclear power in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear meltdown after a big earthquake in Japan, (despite Germany not being in a quake zone), driving themselves to dependency on foreign suppliers. That’s presented problems for them what with Russia filling that role, so their other recourse has been the one Joe Biden is touting for America: Green energy — like wind and solar power.

It’s costly, requiring state subsidization, given that Germany is not a big sunshine zone nor particularly windy:

But it’s costlier than just the wasted cash. They also are now looking at the loss of their 1,000-year-old Reinhardswald old-growth forest — known as the Grimm’s Fairy Tale forest.

German authorities, completely ignoring German sentiment about forests, which is quite mystical, have decided to mow down the big one to get some wind power put in, in the name of ‘going green.’ Like the Central Valley of California, which has been turned brown and starved of water in the name of ‘going green,’ Germany is trashing its most beautiful forest in the name of ‘going green.’ Funny how that works.

Reinhardswald is known as the Grimm’s Fairy Tale forest. In a weird conundrum (the Germans probably have a word for this) the greenie industrial complex has morphed into Rumplestiltskin, spinning wind into gold for the state of Hesse’s bureaucrats but demanding Germany’s first child as payment.

Don’t get us wrong: We are all for progress. But to call this ‘progress’ is pretty disgusting. How is it ‘progress’ to trash Germany’s 1,000 year-old irreplaceable forest? Germany has a big population, a lot of ugly postwar urban landscapes and yucky modern art. It has a few nice traditional places, too, but the big one for Germans is their beautiful ancient forests, the ones that eminent Germans like Goethe and Kant and Durer and Schubert likely walked through, marveled at, and drew inspiration from. Google ‘Reinhardswald’ at Google Images and see what this place looks like. There are also some likely practical reasons to keep the forest in reserve. In France, when roof of the Cathedral of Notre Dame burned in 2019, what was lost were old-growth beams that could not be replaced easily at all because the old-growth forests were gone. Germany would not have such a problem if it needed to harvest a couple of trees to save, say. the Cologne cathedral if it were, heaven forbid, to endure such a catastrophe. There are always unexpected reasons to want to conserve some unique and irreplaceable natural habitats.

P. Gosselin of WattsUpWithThat has been watching this travesty for awhile and has some excellent coverage:

About a year ago we reported on disturbing plans by the government of the German state of Hesse to clear 20 million square meters of 1000-year old “fairy tale” forest in one of Germany’s most idyllic, fairy tale-like forests: the Reinhardswald located in the hilly region west of the city of Göttingen.recommended by

The Reinhardswald is known as the “treasure house of European forests” or the “Grimm’s fairy tale forest”.

A total of about 2000 hectares ( 20 million m²) of the thousand-year-old Reinhardswald was designated for destruction by the state in order to clear the way for a massive wind power plant development.

Conservatives, Greens ram project through

Tragically, that battle to stop the destructive project has been dealt a severe blow as the construction of access roads began 2 days ago. The massive resistance of the affected citizens was ignored by the Hesse state government, which ironically is governed by a coalition of the CDU conservatives and environmentalist Greens.

Germans, to their credit, don’t care for this one bit and are protesting. The state actors who are doing this are an unholy political alliance of conservatives and greens who apparently don’t think they need to pay attention to the local sentiment, let alone their state’s heritage. Gosselin links to a nonpartisan German group called “Stop!” or Rettet-den-Reinhardswald.de (an impressively coded site) which has some excellent visualizations of what this butt-ugly specter is going to look like as 18 to as many as 50 wind turbines go up, as well as photos of what is going on now and information on the bad impact the plan will have on birds, wildlife, and the general eco-system. So much for ‘going green.’

It sounds like a money scam, with politicians and connected political business cronies planning to harvest themselves some green of the monetary kind. Germans are complaining that these characters are not paying attention to their petitions and not heeding their warnings about the impact of the destruction on the untouched old-growth forest. 

Which is very bad for Germany, given that such intransigence on a reasonable petition opens the door to extremism, as in eco-terrorists. At a minimum, it opens the door to ‘yellow vest’ or Canadian trucker type protests, given that German heritage is at stake. We may be seeing that in the future. What we also need to see is a lot of louder protest from the usual quarters, such as Pope Francis, who has spoken out a lot on global warming under the justification of conserving creation, and Hollywood characters like Daryl Hannah and Mia Farrow and Sting, all rainforest champs who created quite spectacles of themselves in recent decades. Hannah for one dipped their hands in Lago Agrio’s oil pits over in Ecuador, falsely blaming Chevron for killing the rainforest. Where’s Hannah to holler about this far more authentic outrage?

For the rest of us, it shows what an inefficient and costly scam green energy is. It’s not cost-free, it’s full of corrupt and unresponsive politicians who no longer care about democracy, and it certainly doesn’t make the scenery prettier. It’s a nasty juggernaut of waste, fraud, corruption and ecological degradation – with dead birds, turbine vibration sickness, and landscape pollution. Germany could fix this in two minutes by bringing back its nuclear power, ending both the Russia issue and the forest-loss issue right then and there. One hopes that the idea will eventually occur to them. Otherwise, they lose their fairy-tale forest.

Trust in the Austrian federal government is at an unprecedented low. This is the result of a representative flash survey conducted by the market research institute Integral on behalf of the Initiative for Evidence-Based Corona Information (ICI). Only 13 percent of respondents have “great confidence” in the federal government and 51 percent no longer have any. Therefore, one third would like to see new elections immediately.

On Thursday, Austria’s forced vaccination legislation was voted into law. It requires every Austrian adult – except pregnant women or those exempt for medical reasons – to get the shot.

A recent representative flash poll (n=500) by ICI – Initiative for Evidence-Based Corona Information – showed a huge loss of trust in politics however. For example, only four percent of respondents say they have a “very great deal of trust” in the coalition government. Nine percent have “rather great confidence”.

On the other hand, one third (32 percent) of the population say they have “no confidence at all” in the Turquoise-Green coalition. And as many as 19 percent say they have “rather no confidence”. This loss of trust is seen in all age groups and affects both men and women.

This is particularly dramatic in the case of the Greens, where only 26 percent still have great confidence in their government, but also in the case of their coalition partner, the ÖVP it is only 60 percent.

The massive dissatisfaction manifested itself in a call for new elections immediately. This wish is particularly strong among the younger population (16-29 years), where almost one in two (44 per cent) wanted an immediate ballot. Only half of the population (53 percent) currently feels represented by the parties elected to the National Council. The parties in government only appeal to nine percent (ÖVP) and eight percent (Greens) of the people.

Instead of taking care of the needs of the people, the government has overwhelmed them with one restriction after another in an authoritarian manner. Resistance to this kind of policy is growing, especially because the contradictions of the regulations as well as their senselessness are becoming more and more obvious.

“Soon everyone will know someone who has vaccination complications. It doesn’t help when the media and politicians persistently babble about a supposedly safe vaccination,” said doctor and ICI co-founder Dr Christian Fiala.

Why are more and more people falling ill, even though medicine and environmental protection have improved? And has anyone started to wonder why elections are useless?
