of the kind of stories which Germany’s politically correct media has been doing its best to suppress: an Afghan man is arrested in a public baths in Dresden after molesting four girls aged between 11 and 13. He is subsequently released by police.
Another swimming pool, which tries to ban immigrants after a string of similar incidents, is forced to relent under pressure from Left-wing activists.
A gang of bearded Muslims invades a nudist swimming pool in Geldern in the North Rhine-Westphalia region, threatening male bathers and spitting on women and children, Akbar”.
A man – yelling “Allah Akbar” – threatens to behead a surgeon at a hospital in Troisdorf because he is upset at the way the doctor treated his son’s broken leg.
Traditional German sausages have been banned in numerous schools and public canteens out of fear of upsetting Muslim immigrants.
Schoolgirls no longer feel safe to travel on school buses unless protected from gangs of migrant molesters by a cordon of their male classmates.
Most notorious incident of all – at least till the recent killings – was the mass of sexual while yelling “Allah assaults which took place in Cologne over the New Year, in which no fewer than 1,200 girls were raped or sexually assaulted by groups of migrants. How on earth did Germany come to this pass?
Perhaps the oddest thing of all about this crazy situation is that the politician most responsible for it – Mrs Merkel, known to her people as “Mutti” (Mummy) – remains remarkably popular. So entrenched is her position as Germany’s chancellor that she is unlikely to be ousted. And even now, despite growing opposition from new anti-immigrant party the AfD, the broad majority of German society accepts her mass immigration policy as a worthwhile aim.
To outsiders this may seem bizarre beyond measure. But then, the Germans aren’t quite like the rest of us.
FIRST – as a leading German-speaking editor recently explained to me – they are still crippled by war-guilt, which is why they feel such a strong moral compulsion to take in so many refugees. It is their way of making amends for what the Nazis did.
Second, like most of the Western world, Germany’s declining birth rate is a major threat to its economy (currently the world’s fourth largest after the US, China and Japan). In order to maintain its economic power Germany therefore needs to be able to import fresh labour as it first began doing in the 1970s with its “guest workers” from Turkey. And it currently gives this need a higher priority than protecting native Germans from the social problems inherent when you encourage mass immigration from alien cultures.
None of this means that Mrs Merkel’s immigration policy isn’t bonkers: it is, totally. And the worst is no doubt yet to come.
As Germany’s immigrant hordes grow more defiant and belligerent, the attitude of ordinary native Germans – peaceful so far – is bound to reach breaking point. And we have all read enough history books to know what Germans do when they lose faith in the political mainstream and decide to take action into their own hands.
