What astonishes me about Germany is their extraordinary inability to learn from their past.
It’s certainly the treachery of the Leftards, and their abject masochism, that baffles me. Do they think they and their families are somehow impervious to their social engineering and suicidal policies? But the Left and Islam make suitable bedfellows when we look at their objectives, it seems;
”Islam is a religion built atop an easily collapsed house of cards — namely, the very self-serving and opportunistic words and deeds of its founder. Therefore, silencing any criticism against Muhammad has long been essential to Islam’s survival. Left unchecked, this “verbal war” will have a snowball effect: Other Muslims, exposed to such critical thinking, will start thinking critically, ultimately rebelling against and overthrowing the Islamic order.
Now consider how this applies to the so-called “Left.” Every day, from virtually every official institution and channel — academia, media, government, etc. — we are bombarded with very obvious and ludicrous lies (for example, that women can become men, that men can become pregnant, and so on and so forth). Does that mean most Americans believe this? No. But getting you to believe what is unbelievable has never really been the goal.
Rather, the ultimate goal is to condition you to never publicly challenge the official narrative. You must never openly blaspheme the official cult, thereby encouraging others to blasphemy and apostacy — the dreaded snowball effect every regime fears.
The Left cares little if, in the quiet of your own mind, you refuse to play along. All that matters is that you formally go along — that you formally acquiesce, even if through silent though implicit consent.
In short, the Left wants you to dread the consequences of openly defying its narrative — which, like Islam, is also built atop an easily collapsed house of cards.”

excellent
Here’s another ‘misunderstanding’, quoted in the article:
We always differentiated [between Islam and political Islam or Islamism].
Such a differentiation is false. izlam is a political ideology promoted by a death cult: death to unbelievers, death to apostates, death to those who mock or criticise izlam, death to innocent people jihadis choose to bomb, stab, chop, kill by vehicle to make a political point, death to disobedient daughters who prefer Western culture . . .
Hindu thuggees also believed in death, but they were regarded as a cult not a religion. Why is izlam regarded as a ‘world religion’? Sheer global numbers achieved by conquest/conversion and rapid reproduction.
What are ‘modern’ or ‘moderate’ muzlims? Are they of any use or help to us in the West in vocally opposing jihadists? No, they’re fearful and quiet, with good reason.
When push comes to shove, only genuine apostates will resist the call to rise up and join in the victory for izlam in yet another country ripe for the taking. The apostates won’t survive for long nor will anyone else who refuses to submit.
Newborns unfortunate enough to be born into izlam have ‘alluah akbar’ whispered into their ears, the beginning of an intense lifelong indoctrination that only very strong-minded people (such as the apostate who burns korans in Sweden) can reject.
izlam likes to refer to itself as the ‘Religion of Peace’, a lying slogan that some very stupid Western politicians including Dubya Bush & Dave Cameron liked to parrot after 9/11 and 7/7.
The ‘ROP’ calls itself that because it believes that PEACE on earth will come about only when they have obeyed allah by conquering/converting every nation to izlam – bringing about total submission of the world to allah.
Therefore, no more warfare.
Except, of course, the fighting for dominance between sunni, shia, wasabi and every other sect and sub-sect of izlam.
Agreed. They seem to think the danger to Germany is right wing National Socialism.
The true danger is that so many are easily led and will swallow whatever the ‘authorities’ shovel in their direction.
Since 2020 I realised the Germans are not unique in this respect. A significant portion of our own population was proven to be susceptible to extreme viewpoints at the expense of others. Also NZ, Australia, Canada, France, Austria, etc…
A very sobering realisation.
Eh? The authorities in Germany, France, UK etc have learnt from the past. What they have learnt is the more fear you create in a society, the easier it is to control.
In Japan they refer to immigrants as ”street-shitters”, and given the amount of footage I’ve seen of migrants using the public outdoor spaces as toilets I can attest to that. The Japanese have the right idea though, as do Hungary, and I’ll defer to Gad Saad, the Obe-Wan Kenobi of such things;
”Take Japan. It has a strong sense of identity such that it does not wish to have its culture and people invaded by immigrants. Hence, it has decided that few immigrants can become Japanese let alone illegal immigrants. Do they have a right to do that? Does a nation have a right to decide that it wishes to protect its culture, heritage, religion, etc? Does Saudi Arabia have a right to state that it wishes to remain forevermore an Islamic country? If the answer is “yes” then why is it objectionable for the West to say that they wish to maintain a Judeo-Christian identity? An ethos of Western values rooted in individual freedom and liberty. Regrettably, due to suicidal empathy, most immigrants who came to the West 20+ years ago to escape the hellish societies from which they came, are now being drowned by the same cultures from which they escaped. Individuals of the host societies no longer recognize their societies because they have been Islamized at a breathtaking rate. Are Western people allowed to be worried about the erasure of their societies or should they submit willingly by praying at the altar of suicidal empathy?”

Apparently we need all these millions of migrants because the leftists say “we have an ageing population” and “who will do all the NHS and care jobs”. ——-But Japan doesn’t seem to think the answer to any such alleged problems is to import millions of people and they certainly don’t get overrun with illegal aliens. Apparently the Japanese encourage high birthrates by giving tax breaks for people to have children.
What a squirming bunch of WEF/UN parasites we have deciding how we all live in this country and as Europe is turning to the right, here as usual we are so dumb we are about to do the opposite and elect more leftist mass immigration clutter.
The excuse of falling birth-rate and increasing aging population to justify inward migration does not agree with reality. Since I was born the UK population has grown by nearly 27 million, and mostly in the last 10 or so years. Also a falling population will be a benefit as more space will become available and house prices will fall allowing our young to afford homes. This last aspect could encourage young people to have children.
As you say it is the WEF/UN parasites that are driving this. Mass migration is a weapon.
” The concept of national sovereignty has been immutable, indeed a sacred principle of international relations. It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the new imperatives of global environmental cooperation.”
UN’s Commission on Global Governance:
Yep
‘United Nations’ is a complete misnomer. That corrupt and rotting self-serving institution cares nothing for nations – it wants a One World government, a dictatorship with every enemy of democracy within it obliterating our sovereignty as nations and freedom as individuals.
President Trump was considering cutting American funding of the UN before he was robbed of his second term by charlatans. Hopefully, he’ll be re-elected, cut off the funding and encourage other Western countries to do the same.
I quite like visits from Jehovah’s Witnesses. I particularly like their willingness to debate their beliefs. They are clearly sincere believers and if they fail to win their argument they will walk away and maybe try another day.
Compare this with the dogmatic approach of Islamists who are unwilling to debate, and have frequently been observed to resort to violence when challenged. Indeed they fight amongst themselves over differences in interpretation of their holy scripts.
I remain forever sceptical of the claim that is the religion of peace and they will fight anyone who doesn’t agree.
Moslems began fighting amongst themselves as soon as Mohammed died. Then there was the Iran Iraq war and the current conflict in Yemen.
I think a few years passed between the death of Muhammad and the Iran / Iraq war.
Of course. I should have written ‘More recently…’
So what if the German Authorities called him “Enemy of Islam”? We should not be in the situation in any Western country where must watch what we say in case it provokes someone to try and murder you. It should not be wrong to express dislike of someone or a group especially at it seems perfectly acceptable to express dislike of Christianity and white people.
Since TRAITOR Smirkel betrayed Germany and the Germans by admitting millions of enemy invaders, the subsequent governments seem to cheerfully acquiesce in the izlamification of the land and the people they are supposed to protect. Their enemedia is equally to blame.
When those responsible are defeated by the AdF patriots, Smirkel and her successors should be tried and imprisoned for treason. The same applies to France when Marine le Pin triumphs, and the UK when our traitorous Left is beaten.
In every Western nation whose treacherous Leftard governments have flooded them with enemies and terrorists, those with blood on their hands deserve the severe backlash of anger and draconian punishment.
There is no political Islam, Islamism, modern muslims, there is just Islam.
Agreed and it’s all barbaric.
Cui bono? This is another example of the ‘authorities’ in Western ‘democracies’ provoking trouble and fear in the electorate which facilitates control orders. Katherine Gunn the ex-GCHQ whistle blower, makes plain there were sone exceedingly dodgy things going on with the murder of Sir Denis Amess MP. Almost every time there is a terrorist incident in the UK the m.s.m. report that the assailant was known to the authorities. Big events like 9/11 and the London bus bombings also benefit the ‘authorities.’
