Death for death’s sake

The attacks in Sri Lanka confirm we live in an era of barbarism.

"Here’s the most horrific thing from the barbaric assault on Christians and holidaymakers in Sri Lanka.

In the Zion Evangelical Church in the eastern city of Batticaloa, Christian children were gathered for Sunday school. Given it was Easter Sunday their teacher asked them a special question. ‘How many of you are willing to die for Christ?’ According to a teacher who survived what was about to happen, all the children put their hands up. The children then spilled out into the church grounds to play. Photos show them looking sunny and happy. Minutes later, an Islamist terrorist, who had failed to get into the church itself, walked among the group of children and blew himself up. Twelve children were killed. Many of their teachers were killed, too. Their crime was to be Christian.


Details like this demand an urgent and serious assessment of the phenomenon of Islamist terrorism. Because this terrorism, even by the historical standards of terrorism, is peculiarly hateful, misanthropic and barbaric. What drives someone to detonate a suicide belt while standing among children?

It brings to mind the suicide bomber who in July 2005 drove his car into a group of children who were accepting sweets from a US solider and blew himself up. Twenty-four children were killed. Or the female suicide bomber in Iraq in September 2006 who blew herself up among families who were queuing for kerosene. Try to imagine what happened next. A terrifying glimpse was offered by an eye-witness report in the Washington Post: ‘Two pre-teen girls embraced each other as they burned to death.’

It brings to mind the twin suicide bombings at All Saints Church in Peshawar in Pakistan in September 2013, when an Islamist extremist blew himself up among poverty-stricken Christian women and children who were queuing outside the church for a free meal, while his associate blew himself up inside the church where people ran to take cover. One-hundred-and-twenty-seven people were killed. And of course it brings to mind the Manchester Arena bombing of 2017, which faded strikingly fast from the forefront of the British political consciousness, in which an ISIS-inspired extremist blew himself up among parents and children leaving an Ariana Grande concert. The youngest victim was an eight-year-old girl. It’s likely many people in Britain don’t even know her name. It was Saffie Roussos.


These are only a handful of the thousands of acts of barbarism carried out by Islamist extremists in recent years. From the US to Europe, from the Middle East to the subcontinent, tens of thousands of people have been slaughtered by Islamist extremists. This terrorism seems to have utterly dispensed with the old rules of engagement. Its battleground is as likely to be a church or a school or a hospital or a queue of children as it is a piece of land claimed by an opposing military outfit. It follows no moral code whatsoever. Its defining feature is a glaring and terrifying absence of moral restraint. Anything is acceptable. Anyone can be killed. There is no code or rule or even basic human impulse that says to these groups: ‘Don’t do that. Not here. Not at a Sunday school.’

This means the new barbarism is very different to the violent groups that existed in the 1970s and 1980s. These outfits, like the PLO or the IRA, were usually, though not always, restrained by their own political motives and ambitions, contained and controlled by their own political beliefs. Their claim to represent a political outlook and a political constituency meant they tended to behave within a basic moral framework. Their claim to be serious political actors meant they carefully tailored and targeted their militaristic acts. Their acts of violence were frequently bloody, of course, but they rarely did what Islamist terrorists do today: seek to kill as many people as possible, ideally women and children, in a kind of perverse display of pornographic misanthropy, and with no higher aim than to devastate lives, communities and the human family more broadly.


For a few years now, some observers – not nearly enough – have tried to get to grips with the new barbarism, with this utterly unanchored, unrestrained, death-glorying violence. A 2005 New York Times piece titled, ‘The mystery of the insurgency’commented on Iraqi insurgents’ massacre of civilians and how historically unusual it was. This ‘surge in the killing of civilians’ reflects ‘how mysterious the long-term strategy remains’, it said. The writer arrived at a horrifying conclusion: that maybe there was no long-term strategy; that maybe killing civilians was the strategy, was the overriding aim. Death for death’s sake.‘Counter-insurgency experts are baffled’, said the NYT piece, because these civilian-targeting groups in Iraq had ‘developed no alternative government or political wing and displayed no intention of amassing territory to govern’.

Of course this changed later, with ISIS, which did amass territory. But even this contained within it ‘the mystery of the insurgency’, given that the Islamic State territory was defined by its perverse celebration of extreme violence which it recorded and distributed online. If anything, its territory looked less like a traditional state or guerrilla nation than a staging post for the internationalisation of ‘the surge in the killing of civilians’. A piece of land from which spectacles of deaths could be organised." (Source)

Poem : Friedrich Rückert

Kindertotenlieder 

Oft denk' ich, sie sind nur ausgegangen! 

Bald werden sie wieder nach Hause gelangen! 

Der Tag ist schön! 

O sei nicht bang! 

Sie machen nur einen weiten Gang! 

Jawohl, sie sind nur ausgegangen 

Und werden jetzt nach Hause gelangen! 

O, sei nicht bang, der Tag is schön! 

Sie machen nur den Gang zu jenen Höh'n! 

Sie sind uns nur vorausgegangen 

Und werden nicht wieder nach Hause verlangen! 

Wir holen sie ein auf jenen Höh'n Im Sonnenschein! 

Der Tag is schön auf jenen Höh'n!

 ___________________________________________

Often I think that they have only stepped out - 

and that soon they will come home again! 

The day is lovely- 

O don't be afraid! 

They are only taking a long walk. 

Yes: they have only stepped out 

and will now return home! 

O don't be anxious - the day is lovely! 

They are only taking a walk to those hills. 

They have simply gone on ahead of us: 

they will not wish to return home. 

We'll catch up to them on those hills in the sunshine! 

The day is beautyful on those hills.

PS.: 1

VladTepes explains the sheer repulsiveness of some reactions to this barbarism against non-muslims with his usual fine sense of irony: 

2. Al Jazeera (*) explains to us that the real victims of muslims killing everyone all over the place in Sri Lanka, is muslims who are afraid someone might fight back.

PS.: 2

I expect it from the Media-Floozy that is the PM of New Zealand (**), but I find it obscene that the future King of England should "honour" 50 muslim victims, continuing the HUGE global media saturation they have received over the past months  while ignoring Christian victims at the very moment where  near 300  of their dead, including many children are being buried.

24 April Armenian Genocide - lest we forget.

Armenian girls nailed to the cross by soldiers of the young Turkish regime. For the sake of their faith. This picture is horrifying. It is one of the rare original photographs that eyewitnesses were able to smuggle out of Armenia in 1915 and 1916 (source: theeuropean.de).

24 APRIL - TURKISH GENOCIDE MEMORIAL DAY

Is the Armenian fate threatening the Germans?

This is the question asked in an article Article by W. SCHMITT  published today at PI-NEWS.

My translation was done very quickly as I wanted to get it out tonight, and it will probably need some corrections, which I will do tomorrow. 

The 24th of April was the day of remembrance of the Armenian genocide by the Turkish land-takers. Could such a genocide  of native Germans by invading land takers  be imaginable in Germany too?

The Turkish genocide of the Armenians was the first state-organized genocide in human history. This genocide is also historically significant in its function as a blueprint for the later genocide of the Jews: the concept underlying the Armenian genocide of completely annihilating a people in the shadow of a world war served Hitler as a direct model for his own mass murder (quote from AH: "Who still speaks of the Armenians today?").

Copying the genocide of the Armenians seemed an enticing temptation to the National Socialists not least because the victorious Allied  powers of the First World War had largely spared the Turkish perpetrators of the genocide and the murder of over a million people had not led to any consequences for almost any of the murderers involved.

This fundamental problem in coming to terms with the Armenian genocide, that the Turkish perpetrators - including Kurdish and Arab killers - escaped largely unscathed, did not only favour the repetition of such a genocide in the Second World War. The fact that the murderers were not condemned at the time still makes it easier for Turkish nationalists to deny the Armenian genocide as a whole: no trial, no verdict, and therefore no crime either, according to the logic of the Turkish nationalists.

In contrast to the genocide of the Jews, which was intensively dealt with including in juridical terms, the genocide of the Armenians has largely disappeared from the historical consciousness of mankind today, despite its direct exemplary function for the Jewish Holocaust.

One may lament this development or accept it with a shrug as it would probably not have had the slightest significance for our private everyday life if millions of Turks had not been settled in Germany in recent decades in the course of the policy of repopulation, a large majority of whom, as is well known, not only suppressed the Armenian genocide but even denied it altogether.

However, even that could be quite indifferent to us if this denial were not accompanied by a series of other thought processes that should make us worried: a lack of awareness  of injustice, a lack of empathy, a lack of repentance. We should be worried about this because - as with every ordinary criminal - with a lack of awareness of injustice, a lack of empathy and a lack of repentance there is at the same time a lack of all mental and moral inhibitions not to repeat the deed.

At the end of this century about 120 million people will live in Germany, of which just under 20% will be Germans. The remaining 80% will be predominantly Islamic land takers, with Turks, Arabs and Kurds the dominant nationalities. Parallel to the proportion of the total population, political power will also shift to these three ethnic groups - precisely those three ethnic groups that planned and carried out the Armenian genocide at the time.

Just as in the late 19th and early 20th centuries of the Ottoman Empire, at the end of the 21st century a political-Islamic ruling class of Turks, Kurds and Arabs and a remaining Christian population, in our case indigenous Germans, will face each other in Germany.

Politically, this population constellation, as is already apparent today, will also be marked by the same lines of conflict as the late Ottoman Empire:

1. the invading land takers against native indigenous people, then the Turks who invaded Asia Minor against the native Armenians, at the end of the 21st century the Turks, Kurds and Arabs settled in Germany against the native Germans.

2) A Mohammedan ruling class dominating in state and administration against largely powerless Christian kuffars, at that time Turks, Kurds and Arabs as the power bearers of the Ottoman Empire against the Christian Armenians, in Germany of the late 21st century then also Turks, Kurds and Arabs against the rest of the Christian or enlightened Germans.

The question of survival for the Germans at the end of this century will therefore be whether the active perpetrators of then, the Turks, Kurds and Arabs, in a comparable ethno-political situation, will find a different "solution" to a conflict comparable in substance to that of the time. Or whether in a comparable situation they will also strive for a comparable "solution" - - especially since the past "solution" of simply exterminating the Christian natives did not harm them in any way and the broad masses, particularily the main responsibles, the Turks,  never regretted this "solution"   even afterwards.

Here, Charles Aznavour, the most famous Armenian, sings of his people.

Warning, some very confronting images in this video. 

And still, they continue, to kill !

Original Text in German:

24. APRIL - GEDENKTAG DES TÜRKISCHEN VÖLKERMORDS

Droht den Deutschen das Schicksal der Armenier?

Von W. SCHMITT | Der 24. April ist der Gedenktag des Völkermords der türkischen Landnehmer an den einheimischen Armeniern. Wäre ein solcher Völkermord eindringender Landnehmer an den einheimischen Deutschen auch in Deutschland denkbar?

Der türkische Völkermord an den Armeniern war der erste staatlich organisierte Völkermord der Menschheitsgeschichte. Historisch bedeutsam ist dieser Völkermord zudem in seiner Eigenschaft als Blaupause für den späteren Völkermord an den Juden: Das dem Völkermord an den Armeniern zu Grunde liegende Konzept, ein Volk im Windschatten eines Weltkriegs vollständig zu vernichten, diente Hitler bekanntlich als unmittelbares Vorbild für sein eigenes Massenmorden (Zitat AH: „Wer spricht heute noch von den Armeniern?“).

Den Genozid an den Armeniern zu kopieren, schien den National-Sozialisten auch deshalb als eine verlockende Versuchung, weil die alliierten Siegermächte des Ersten Weltkriegs die türkischen Täter des Völkermords weitgehend verschont hatten und das Ermorden von über einer Million Menschen für fast keinen der beteiligten Mörder zu irgendwelchen Konsequenzen geführt hatte.

Diese Grundproblematik in der Aufarbeitung des Völkermords an den Armeniern, dass die türkischen – auch kurdischen und arabischen – Täter weitestgehend ungeschoren davonkamen, begünstigte aber nicht nur die Wiederholung eines derartigen Völkermords im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Die damalige Nichtverurteilung der Mörder erleichtert es bis heute türkischen Nationalisten, den Völkermord an den Armeniern insgesamt zu leugnen: kein Prozess, kein Urteil, also auch kein Verbrechen, so die Logik der türkischen Nationalisten.

Im Gegensatz zum Genozid an den Juden, der auch juristisch intensivst aufgearbeitet wurde, ist der Genozid an den Armeniern daher trotz seiner unmittelbaren Vorbildfunktion für den jüdischen Holocaust heute zum großen Teil aus dem historischen Bewußtsein der Menschheit verschwunden.

Diese Entwicklung mag man beklagen oder mit einem Achselzucken hinnehmen, sie hätte für unseren privaten Alltag wohl nicht die geringste Bedeutung, wenn in den letzten Jahrzehnten nicht im Zuge der Umvolkungspolitik Millionen Türken in Deutschland angesiedelt worden wären, von denen eine große Mehrheit den Völkermord an den Armeniern bekanntlich nicht nur verdrängt hat, sondern sogar ingesamt leugnet.

Allerdings könnte selbst das uns ziemlich einerlei sein, wenn mit diesem Leugnen nicht eine Reihe weiterer gedanklicher Prozesse verbunden wären, die uns sorgenvoll stimmen sollten: fehlendes Unrechtsbewusstsein, fehlende Empathie, fehlende Reue. Sorgenvoll sollte uns dies deshalb stimmen, weil es – wie bei jedem gewöhnlichen Verbrecher – mit fehlendem Unrechtsbewusstsein, fehlender Empathie und fehlender Reue zugleich an allen geistig-moralischen Hemmschwellen fehlt, die Tat nicht noch einmal zu wiederholen.

Ende dieses Jahrhunderts werden etwa 120 Millionen Menschen in Deutschland leben, davon noch knapp 20% Deutsche. Die übrigen 80% werden mehrheitlich islamische Landnehmer sein, mit Türken, Arabern und Kurden als den dominierenden Nationalitäten. Parallel zum Anteil an der Gesamtbevölkerung wird sich auch die politische Macht auf diese drei Volksgruppen verlagern – also genau jene drei Volksgruppen, die damals den Völkermord an den Armeniern planten und durchführten.

Ganz ähnlich wie im späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert im Osmanischen Reich werden sich Ende des 21. Jahrhunderts also auch in Deutschland eine politisch-islamische Führungsschicht aus Türken, Kurden und Arabern sowie eine christliche Restbevölkerung, in unserem Fall einheimische Deutsche, gegenüberstehen.

Politisch wird diese Bevölkerungskonstellation, wie sich schon heute abzeichnet, ebenfalls durch dieselben Konfliktlinien geprägt sein wie das späte Osmanische Reich:

1. Eingedrungene Landnehmer gegenüber einheimischen Indigenen, damals die nach Kleinasien eingedrungenen Türken gegenüber den einheimischen Armeniern, Ende des 21. Jahrhunderts die in Deutschland angesiedelten Türken, Kurden und Araber gegenüber den einheimischen Deutschen.

2. Eine in Staat und Verwaltung dominierende mohammedanische Führungsschicht gegenüber weitgehend machtlosen christlichen Kuffern, damals Türken, Kurden und Araber als den Machtträgern des Osmanischen Reiches gegenüber den christlichen Armeniern, im Deutschland des späten 21. Jahrhunderts dann ebenfalls Türken, Kurden und Araber gegenüber den christlichen bzw. aufgeklärten Restdeutschen.

Die Überlebensfrage für die Deutschen wird Ende dieses Jahrhunderts also sein, ob sich die seinerzeitigen Tatvölker, Türken, Kurden und Araber, in einer vergleichbaren ethnopolitischen Situation für eine andere „Lösung“ eines in der Sache vergleichbaren Konflikts entscheiden werden als damals. Oder ob sie eben in einer vergleichbaren Situation auch eine vergleichbare „Lösung“ anstreben werden – insbesondere da ihnen die damalige „Lösung“, die christlichen Einheimischen einfach auszurotten, in keinerlei Weise geschadet hat und sie diese „Lösung“ in der breiten Masse, insbesondere unter den hauptverantwortlichen Türken, auch im Nachhinein nie bereut haben.

Islamic Science

This is serious !!!

Kuwaiti new-age therapist Dr. Mariam Al-Sohel said in a March 25, 2019 interview on Scope TV (Kuwait) that she has developed an anal suppository based on the "Prophetic medicine" of the Prophet Muhammad. 

Dr. Sohel claims that the new suppository cures homosexuality by exterminating the "anal worm that feeds on semen." Showing examples of the suppositories, she claimed that this treatment has been subjected to modern research and testing. 

She referred to homosexual men as "the third gender" and to "butch lesbians" as the "fourth gender" and said that the new treatment "cures" both. 

She also claimed to have developed a balanced diet as part of the treatment that includes plenty of bitter foods and root vegetables, the consumption of which she said increases masculinity in men. Dr. Al-Sohel was presented as a "Human Development Advisor," and on social media she identifies as a Reiki Master, and a member of Toastmasters International. 

She said that she received an honorary doctorate in "Sex Management," homosexuality, and sexual harassment from the International Union of Universities in Turkey.

Approaching 1933 again ?

Just recently I warned one of my Jewish, head-in-the-sand-style friends that we are approaching 1933. She withdraw into wishful-thinking mode and  told me that I was obsessed and once again  into over-dramatising. 

This blatant Jew Hatred that is becoming more shameless is not, as the leftist manipulators of the Zeitgeist would have us believe, mainly coming from skin-heads and neo-Nazis of the Rrrright, their numbers are insignificant compared to the Hatred directed at Jews from the Left (Academia, Media, Politics)  and majoritarily from Islamic communities. And that goes back further than the collaboration between Hitler and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. Already Herr Mohamed hated and massacred the Jewish people. 

Introducing the following video, the Israel Advocacy Movement give us this overview: 

"Most people feel a duty to honour the Jews that were slaughtered in the Holocaust. Yet the world has ignored the many Jews massacred in Muslim lands. 

A small group of Jews held a vigil in Speakers Corner, London, to remember these forgotten Jews. What happened next will both shock and outrage you.

Within seconds the group was verbally assaulted in the most racist way and their vigil was shut down by a group of Islamic extremists.

As we had to abandon the vigil we have included the list of massacres below... may their memory be a blessing.

It isn't easy viewing, but make sure you watch the video through to the end to understand how a Middle Eastern hatred has been imported into the UK.

I have just found the following video on Vlad's Blog. 

Richard, a contributor at Vlad Tepes commented:

"This mental illness has infected people in all nations and is growing worse, these are the people who will start the next genocide."

I think tomorrow I will tell my Jewish (head-in-the-sand) friend that we are already there, in 1933, and I will tell her that  we'd better speak up,  LOUDLY and OFTEN, if we mean it when we say: 

"never again"

Julian Assange

I assume that my readers will have seen enough from the media saturation about this case that I do not have to explain in detail who Julian Assange is and what has led to his arrest yesterday.

Coming from a position of very limited knowledge in matters concerning Julian Assange,  I must confess that I am a "reactionary" in the etymological sense of the word, i.e. I "react". In this case I have reacted, instinctively, to the (d)evolution of what the media have reported and how they have reported it:

I'm old enough to remember when the Australian publicly funded Main Media - the ABC (*) - treated Assange as their "Hero". That lowered my interest in him considerably and so I have missed when and how they have turned on him, and turn on him they did.

Following the media coverage since yesterday I am - emotionally if not necessarily rationally - on his side. Here is why:

- Deutsche Welle (the Goebbels-style propaganda arm of Merkel's Germany) branded Assange a criminal, as did all left-conformist Media reports that I have come across.

- Radio 2GB, the only and largest conservative/right wing Media in Australia had one of their main rating successes, Ray Hadley, a very influential voice, (I think he is a loud-mouth bully) report the story as follows:  (paraphrasing): 

.....this guy (Julian Assange)  was generously allowed to stay in that embassy, living the good life, but he was always very rude to his generous hosts. You just do not be rude if you are guest in someones house, so, eventually they threw him out, good riddance....

- The coup de grace to my vacillating was then given by the British Clone of Merkel, Theresa May, who - without blushing and totally sense-of-irony-challenged - declared: "THAT (Assange's arrest) proves that in Great Britain no-one is above the law".  

(See more about this on Vlad's Blog and at Gates of Vienna)

The most sane and fair voice I found was, as so often, the one of  Tucker Carlson:

The latest I have heard is that Julian Assange will probably remain in Custody in the U.K. for at least a year.....One should perhaps ask Tommy Robinson, how "safe" one is that country, if one tells the truth. (**) 

This song tells it how it seems to be in Theresa May's once "Great" Britain:  

"Le premier qui dit la vérité, il doit être exécuté" 

...(The first one who tells the truth must be executed). 

Le premier qui dit se trouve toujours sacrifié

D'abord on le tue

Puis on s'habitue

On lui coupe la langue on le dit fou à lier

Après sans problèmes

Parle le deuxième

Le premier qui dit la vérité

Il doit être exécuté.

J'affirme que l'on m'a proposé beaucoup d'argent

Pour vendre mes chances

Dans le Tour de France

Le Tour est un spectacle et plaît à beaucoup de gens

Et dans le spectacle

Y a pas de miracle

Le coureur a dit la vérité

Il doit être exécuté.

A Chicago un journaliste est mort dans la rue

Il fera silence

Sur tout ce qu'il pense

Pauvre Président tous tes témoins ont disparu

En chœur ils se taisent

Ils sont morts les treize

Le témoin a dit la vérité

Il doit être exécuté.

Le monde doit s'enivrer de discours pas de vin

Rester dans la ligne

Suivre les consignes

A Moscou un poète à l'Union des écrivains

Souffle dans la soupe

Où mange le groupe.

Le poète a dit la vérité

Il doit être exécuté.

Combien d'hommes disparus qui un jour ont dit non

Dans la mort propice

Leurs corps s'évanouissent

On se souvient ni de leurs yeux ni de leur nom

Leurs mots qui demeurent

Chantent "juste" à l'heure.

L'inconnu a dit la vérité

Il doit être exécuté.

Un jeune homme à cheveux longs grimpait le Golgotha

La foule sans tête

Était à la fête

Pilate a raison de ne pas tirer dans le tas

C'est plus juste en somme

D'abattre un seul homme.

Ce jeune homme a dit la vérité

Il doit être exécuté.

Ce soir avec vous j’ai enfreint la règle du jeu

J’ai enfreint la règle

Des moineaux, des aigles

Vous avez très peur pour moi car vous savez que je

Risque vos murmures

Vos tomates mûres

Ma chanson a dit la vérité

Vous allez m’exécuter

Ma chanson a dit la vérité

Vous allez m’exécuter

I sourced the lyrics from here where you will also find an English translation.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), totally and richly  taxpayer funded is, contrary to its charter that demands "objectivity and balance", radically of the Left on one hand, yet promoting at the same time  the islamisation of  Australia to a point where they source their "news" (and perspective) nearly exclusively from the Qatari "Al Jazeera".

"The punishment for blasphemy is only death - there's no alternative."

Pakistan has some of the strictest blasphemy laws in the world - this lawyer has made it his mission to bring the death sentence to anyone who insults the Prophet's name.#UnreportedWorld pic.twitter.com/k7RpbMwKw7

An Islamic cleric is advising the British government in a formal capacity on "Islamaphobia."

He supported the death by hanging of Asia Bibi for breaking Pakistan's "blasphemy" laws. https://t.co/GX9TIF0fY8

Caption translated reads: 

With Muslim Anti-Semitism no longer being discussed away, the new Reading now means: Blame Muslim Anti-Semitism not on Muslims, but on Non-Muslims. 

This is not a belated  April Fool's joke.

Da sich der muslimische Antisemitismus nicht mehr wegdiskutieren lässt, heißt jetzt die neue Lesart: Schuld am muslimischen Antisemitismus sind nicht die Muslime, sondern die Nicht-Muslime. Das ist kein Aprilscherz.  https://t.co/laT9N4QHHg

About that Fake BREXIT Deal

..

A helpful summary on where we are with Brexit.

"I’ve just seen confidential documents published by the respected think tank, the Bruges Group, set up in the wake of Margaret Thatcher's famous speech. 

These documents claim there is a plan to keep us in the EU — a stitch-up between Merkel and May.

The documents have since mysteriously disappeared from the web, but luckily they were reposted at Politicalite.com. They reveal agreements made by Merkel and May last summer. Now that scenario is being carried out by May and her “Brexit In Name Only Parliament,” BRINO.

Whatever Parliament agrees this week, we are not leaving the EU."

...So writes  the courageously outspoken Janice Atkinson , Member of the European Parliament and commentator at Rebel Media. 

And here now is the booze-marinated menage à trois (in no particular order) who stole your Brexit and destroyed our democracies:

The Pastor's daughter, Theresa May who - I think -  never ever had the intention for you to have your Brexit...

The other Pastor's daughter, the second worst chancellor Germany ever had the misfortune to let in,  Angela Merkel:

And now to  the "Man" who controls the destiny of Europe and its people very much as I imagine  an alcoholic would control  his pink elephants...

;

I simply cannot understand why he is still there ..... really....

(Psssst: Unconfirmed rumour has it, that Merkel is coveting his position, if she cannot get anything interesting at that other, largely discredited circus, the UN. )

Yellow Vests - The forgotten Wounded of Macron's France

There were some early warning signs during his election campaign.....

They lost an eye, a hand, or their face was disfigured. In a split second, their lives were turned upside down, sometimes simply because they were within or around a yellow vest protest. There are more than 2000, according to official figures, that have been injured during the yellow vest demonstrations. 

Le Vent Se Lève  have interviewed more than thirty of these victims located across France in recent weeks. 

This video was directed by Salome Saqué, Louis Covfefe and Antoine Dez. It was published, with English subtitles on 8 March 2019.

I remember the original recording of Macron inspecting the troops during the centenary celebrations of the Armistice last year as very stark and strangely fascinating, but that video seems to have disappeared. So this copy, with some strange language at the end that I do not understand,  will have to do until I find the original again.
