So this AfD politician has been fined 6,000 Euros and now has a criminal record just for sharing actual data on who is committing the sex crimes in Germany. Echoes of the Scamdemic years here;
”Alternative for Germany (AfD) politician Marie-Thérèse Kaiser has now been convicted for publishing gang rape statistics in response to news that Afghan migrants would be moved to her district.
The 27-year-old politician was found guilty in the Verden regional court in Lower Saxony on Monday for “inciting hatred” against local Afghan workers.
She is ordered to pay a fine of €6,000 and being charged €60 a day for 100 days. She will also have a criminal record.
The case relates back to a post from August 2021, in which she made a post on social media, writing: “Afghanistan refugees; Hamburg SPD mayor for ‘unbureaucratic’ admission; Welcoming culture for gang rape?”
The politician linked an article showing that Afghans in Germany feature particularly high levels of gang rape activity. Kaiser was responding in 2021 to Hamburg’s First Mayor, Peter Tschentscher (SPD), who announced that 200 Afghan workers would be arriving in Hamburg. Kaiser protested this decision with her statistics, saying she was concerned about immigration and the potential for rape from “culturally alien masses.”
Kaiser had perhaps mistakenly believed resorting to data would protect her, which shows that foreigners are represented in half of all gang rape cases, according to official government statistics. Afghans’ roles in serious crimes, including rape and gang rape, are tremendously high relative to their population.
The case has sparked international attention, with major X accounts reacting to the news of the conviction, including X’s owner, Elon Musk, with at least two of the posts generating over 40 million views.
Kaiser’s statements allegedly led to hatred of a nationally determined group, according to the judge.”

Can Putin survive a Chechen civil war?
What’s really going on?
‘Although rumours about (Kadyrov’s) health have cropped up repeatedly in recent years, this time things do not look good.’
Events in Chechnya are instructive, because it offers a window into the future for whatever part of Ukraine, if any, is retained by the Russian ‘Union State’ once hostilities cease.
That is because Chechnya was the first victim of Russian revanchist colonialism on display every day in Eastern Ukraine.
Chechnya declared its independence in 1991, and Russia took twenty years to force the Chechens back into the ‘Union State’.
What happens in Chechnya is what will happen, in due course, in Eastern Ukraine.
For now, the question is: will Kadyrov’s successor be able to keep Chechnya quiet while Putin has his hands full in Ukraine?
“Other university towns and cities where similar protests have happened include London, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield, Leeds, Warwick, Swansea and Bristol.”
Let’s not omit the University of Edinburgh particularly given the presence and location of their camp is related to Arthur Balfour’s long association with the university at the time when the Balfour declaration was penned.
Let me be clear that I don’t think anyone should be calling for the extermination of anyone. That said, I can’t help thinking there is an awful lot of misrepresentation of the position of pro-Palestine protestors. It reeks to me of the gross misrepresentation of anti-lockdown, anti-vax passport protestors during covid.
Are all protestors really anti-semites? Is that what it’s all about or is it a genuine concern for what people in Gaza are going through?
I have no doubt that there are people in the crowd with awful ideas and opinions. There always is in practically most protesting crowds. But do they really represent what the protests are about?
When I read:
I think, ok, that’s not my view. But is that any different to an Israel that refuses (in reality) to contemplate a two state solution and therefore is in effect advocating and pursuing the end of Palestine as a country?
The more I see of this the more the whole thing reeks of an instigated psyop.
Agreed – it’s exactly the same playbook as the anti-lockdown/anti-vax passport propagandist MSM coverage, and exactly the same coverage of the anti-war protests when this conflict first started. I’ve seen several interviews on alternative sites in which people attending the current student protests are reporting events which bear absolutely no resemblance to how they are presented for general consumption. And come the next plandemic protest, or biometric IDs, or CBCDs, etc they’ll roll the same playbook out again and again. That’s if protest of any kind hasn’t been completely outlawed across the ‘democratic’ West by then.
I may have said this before but on the whole I see protests as a good thing. To me it’s a healthy sign of a population that is engaged and actually gives a sh*t.
God forbid the plebs should have a contrarian view or actually care enough to raise their voices. No doubt the ruling classes would much prefer everyone to sit quietly at home absorbing BBC information, only to go out to work and consume. Basically the lockdown regime.
The Nazi organised protests against the Jews were very effective with Kristallnacht being a particularly successful evening and it certainly engaged the population.
I don’t think your example is a protest as much as a mob assault.
You think the pro-Palestine protests are like kristalnacht? Really?
In general I agree. I’m sure there are people using the situation for psyop purposes. I find the flavour of some the protests somewhat unsavoury but I think we need to hear what everyone thinks.

“EV private sales fall and market downgrades 2024 sales expectations”
As this article sets out, the Gov’s Zero Emissions Mandate (ZEM) means that at this level of EV sales manufactures will be hit with fines at the end of the year. How will manufacturers respond to this? well Ford have to some extent lead the way by ceasing sales and production of their Fiesta model. And so they have ceased production of a product that in its petrol form was too popular, if they had continued with the Fiesta they would have sold too many and collected fines. So they are ‘focusing’ on higher priced models – fewer models sold but with higher price tags.
As it is, EV sales are propped up by corporate fleet sales, presumably mostly as lease deals. If EVs continue to depreciate as fast as is currently the case, these leasing costs will go up and these costs will be passed on to the customers of the firms leasing the vehicles.
Having looked at EVs my conclusion is that a full car sized EV is not a viable option for private ownership. The liability of EV ownership seems to great to consider actually owning one. As a private motorist the cheapest EV lease cost would be at least £300 a month for a full sized car and probably more. And so as a low budget private motorist looking to the future what can I hope for? Clearly the supply of cheap and cheerful secondhand Ford Fiesta’s will dry up as they are no longer made, I cannot buy or lease a full sized EV. It would seem the best I can hope for is that they eventually bring out a small, low range EV that I can use for local utility trips with no more motoring holidays around the countryside and trips to see friends and relatives to be done by train. For most of my three score years and ten we have mostly looked to the prospect of things getting better and improving we have now entered a strange period of spending a lot of time money and effort into making things worse, people will not be happy and it will not end well.
There’s an awful lot of Israel/Palestine in the DS news round-up.
I don’t know about everybody else, but I resent so much of public discourse, including on this website, being dominated by this issue.
Ultimately, this is just another regional war in a troubled region.
Well, its still wall-to-wall in the bought-and-paid-for propagandist MSM: as that’s mainly where the DS gets its news, plus the DS’s obvious biases in this matter, it’s not surprising. That said, coverage is so skewed these days it is getting rather tedious. Neither skeptic nor septic; sadly, conformity to this particular message seems complete.

Fantastic.

An excellent read.
Obviously this ‘cease and desist’ will be ignored but it puts the whole bleeding lot of them on notice.
Right Billy, don’t say you haven’t been warned. And that goes for any of those chemists you are paying to “mess around” with mRNA concoctions.
