Chancellor Scholz Comes Up Short, Disintegration Continues

Hiding behind the slogan of democracy, the West ignores the will of people.

Terrifying statistics show that one thousand women have been gang-raped on average in recent years, mostly by men with migrant backgrounds. A shocking number. 

I really don't understand how husbands and fathers can accept this. Especially since the authorities are largely powerless against the perpetrators under the current legal framework. Like the last time, when a young girl was raped by a juvenile migrant.

He has been at large ever since.

Germany's leftist-liberal government has perceived the growing internal tension within society. That's why they do what the German car manufacturer did with my button. They take tough action on the surface, and the sham measures are spectacular. They reduce the blade size of knives that can be legally carried in public. They ban knives altogether on public transport vehicles, just like in the central districts of large cities.  And the German Chancellor announced sternly that almost thirty (!) Afghan migrants would be deported from the country without delay. And they promise to be strict, to take tough action, to strengthen public security, to punish all criminals, to protect borders and to put an end to violence against women.

They are not afraid to make promises. In the meantime, the German citizenship law was adopted, which makes it easier and faster for migrants to obtain citizenship. And those who are willing to work - what a sacrifice from alleged refugees! - can become German citizens eligible to vote in just three years. And anyone who might be worried about the ban on knives can relax.  A Green Party member in the German coalition has already protested against the restrictions, arguing that this way anyone can be stopped, checked and even searched without a reason. So nothing will happen. It is no coincidence that the German police union also says that the new draft law is pointless because the police will not be able to enforce it.

And anyone who believes that illegal migrants without a legal title will be strictly deported from now on will be disappointed.

The European Commission and Germany's interior ministry have just allocated 9 million euros over two years to an online project to help migrants avoid deportation through a platform called the Handbook for Germany. 

Meanwhile, the leftist-liberal media in the US is now openly and constantly voicing worries that Nazism could return to Germany. This is because the AfD's anti-migration sentiment is worrying. The anti-Semitic demonstrations staged at universities and public squares on both sides of the ocean since the Hamas attack raise far fewer concerns.

So in the West, the political actors hide behind the slogan of democracy and ignore the will of the people. As long as only one in five people in Germany is aware of this, the disintegration will continue.
