Today at 10:30am near Stiglmaierplatz in Munich – not far from my old apartment – a 26 year-old asylum seeker in Germany named Farhad Noori drove his Mini Cooper into the rear of a Verdi trade union demonstration. He evaded the marchers’ police escort and ran down 28 people, before officers opened fire and managed to subdue him. Two of Noori’s victims, a mother and her young son, ended up under his car. The young boy had to be resuscitated on-scene by emergency responders and it is uncertain whether he will live.
And here I was, recently lamenting the notion that there was "too much time" that had elapsed between the Aschaffensburg attack and the February election date. Silly me.
Yes... but I'm also going to hope that they don't get any *more* "help" like this. Bleh. :-/
(Please note, I am certainly not implying that you aren't equally horrified. I'm just trying to be explicit that I'd far rather the German people realize that they need AfD because they came to the conclusion on their own, not because they were bludgeoned into it.)
Wow. Just ahead of JD Vance arriving in Munich to negotiate with Zelenski
Am i counting correctly; is this the fifth mass attack in less than a year in Germany involving a migrant?!
The experiment we never agreed to is about to end. This was forced upon the people by conspiring allied governments. The civilized countries all at the same time embraced accepting these savages. Now with President Trump and Elons lead it is time for all of the civilized world to unify. Send them back to their shithole countries. All of them.
I truly believe the actions the Trump administration is taking will have significant effects on the EU.
Co-conspirators both getting what *they* want without regard to others.
This is exactly how to maintain control: division. Which leads to destruction, which leads to death. The ugly pattern of humans giving themselves freely to unbridled desire.
So, I am curious, you said "The second vehicular attack since Magdeburg", but did you perhaps mean that it was the second vehicular attack *inclusive* of Magdeburg? I'm just trying to make sure I didn't miss something.
i meant inclusive of Magdeburg, sorry for lack of clarity. most comprehensively, it is the third vehicular attack overall, counting also the 2016 Christmas market attack in Breitscheidplatz Berlin, which killed 12 and wounded 56.
I know I'm not alone, but it depresses me to think how many still do differ on this and other conservative issues, not just in the US but throughout the western world.
Have you heard of the “refugees” that travel every year to holidays at the place they “fled” from. How much gullible we must be before we wake up???🤡🤡🤡🤡
I don't know which countries are included in your list of shithole countries, but Afghanistan surely is among the first deserving to be on any such list. Still, it would stupid and racist to call every Afghan a savage. I don't use the word 'racist' lightly because in today's discourse, it's rarely used appropriately. But referring to an entire people as savages? We'd need to define racism extremely narrowly to not have your comment covered.
Semantics aside, Afghans are overrepresented in criminal statistics. No one can tell exactly how much because the published statistics suck (I tried). But most likely the majority of Afghans have never committed any crime other than perhaps illegal entry, which is not enforced. Many also came legally, e.g. through family reunification. So, let's assume that 10% of Afghans commit a crime in Germany. I pulled this number out of my ass, it's probably much lower. In any crime statistic, the most common are minor offences (e.g. drug possession, shoplifting,...) that also deserve attention, but we wouldn't have this debate if the worst thing an Afghan did fell into this category. The worse the crime becomes, the less common. The number of violent crime committed by any nationality is already far smaller than the number of Afghans living in Germany. Again, the statistics suck and I can't know for sure, but if we randomly picked 10 Afghans, the chance that one of them was a murderer or rapist would be extremely small.
Now probably none of this matters to you. I assume your reasoning would be along the line of "even if only 1 of 100 does anything bad, we'd get rid of the problem if we deport all 100". This way of thinking is not illogical but lacks compassion. I can't prove you wrong because this is an ethical argument. Lacking compassion is a necessary albeit not sufficient conditions for carrying out the horrible acts that inspire our debate. I don't think it is a good way to live.
I think we are morally obliged to look at every individual case and don't judge people only based on which group they belong to. I'm also not arguing for the other extreme, a bit of "racial profiling" makes complete sense. If we knew, for example, that Afghans are overrepresented in certain crimes, it makes sense for the responsible authorities to screen them a bit more rigorously than others. But still, if we take Article 1 of our Constitution seriously, anything has to be a case-to-case decision.
TLDR: this whole discussion is triggered by a tiny subset of Afghans and deporting all of them because they come from a "shithole country" (your words) would be a dickmove. We should be better than that.
It's not only crime that's the problem. Afghan (and other Muslim) culture is wholly alien to European civilization. The elites want to erase national identity. They use mass alien migration to degrade the host culture and traditions, to atomize the people and make them easier to rule.
1) "Verdi" is the German civil servants trade union, leftist, of course, and vehement in denouncing the CDU's 'breaching of the firewall' in the Bundestag because the AfD happened to vote for their initiative. They're part of the government~ and government affiliated lefty groups 'against the Right', declaiming "we are the firewall".
Well, old cynic that I am, here one of those they 'defend' has just breached their firewall in a brutal fashion.
2) According to German papers, the -still - Chancellor Scholz demands that 'something must now be done'. Well, shouldn't he have 'done something' ages ago? And wasn't that the aim of that initiative which the AfD voted for? Now he moans as if he's got no power to do anything?
unfortunately you are right. Just like with the lesbian-gay community, those that obey by the law will get the anger they do not deserve. My former best friend lives next to a Muslim couple and they are the best neighbors you can dream of. These people will be scorned for the criminals of their race and religion. Most of these people are known by the law. They should have been evicted long ago. But usually, who gets evicted are the people that are integrated, speak the language and live their life. They don't bother anyone (I know some of these). What remains is the scum. I suppose the police is afraid of them. Let us hope the US once and for all kicks them out.
Completely agree. My Lebanese muslim neighbors (since 1995!) are fantastic! Loving, kind, warm, and inviting. As immigrants, they've accomplished an amazing feat assimilating into the culture while holding onto their more precious traditions. As an Eastern Orthodox Christian, I do not know if I could do the same. Just sayin'
And if, instead of organising another Leftist Astroturfing demo against the “far-right”, the German government organised a march for the peaceful ones to show that they disown those who engage in these outrages, would these lovely neighbours take part?
The bureaucrats play this both ways. Whenever there is any stink, they will publicly deport, oh, say, a Japanese piano teacher/church organist. For good measure married to a German with kids here, because of some minor paperwork irregularity (likely occasioned by the impossibility of getting an appointment with the foreigners authority as I am assured by nongerman friends).
And you know why those appointments with the foreigners authority are hard to come by. Very hard to come by for Japanese piano teachers who changed their passport. Less hard for first class clients.
The Enlightenment turned us away from truth and toward a darkling weakening horizon, sad and grey to see. The afterglow of Christianity is near gone now, and a stygian silence lurks in wait.
That's... a painfully uncomprehending view of the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment was based, fundamentally, on principles inherited from Christianity. It's the *abandoning* of the Enlightenment (or what my friend Billy Beck dubbed "the Endarkenment") that has led us into these perilous times we live in.
I've always been curious why the peace loving Muslims, those that have integrated into their new countries aren't yelling the loudest. Condemning those reprobates that perpetuate these horrific crimes in the name of their religion.
Maybe they do and I just don't hear about it. Maybe they don't but should so they don't get tainted when these things happen.
It's a play that they never condemn their own. Shapiro of the fast talking (whom I dislike) had made a video emphasizing that their silence is tacit agreement. Isn't that the left's favourite saying? Silence is Violence. It's a big Muslim plan to spread their political ideology. nee 'faith'
Every time I read one of these dreadful stories as reported in the Daily Mail Online I begin checking my inbox for your more depthful piece and it always arrives in astonishingly warp-speed time.
In respect to that little boy and his mother I'll crush back the gallows humor that need not be expressed in public.
We all must learn to save ourselves--individually, and as tides of citizens finally rising under the pull of dark moons. The first rule--the prime directive--is love your own children more than any dogma, any socially-coerced sentiment. Go back to basics and school yourselves on what love means.
The most galling aspect of these events is the preemptive protests and marches against "the right." The entire country is one giant Norm "imagine the backlash against peaceful Muslims" meme. Are the Germans really this brainwashed? Or will this time be different, now that the USAID taps have been shut off?
What will it take for Germany--and Europe--to stop the madness of the invasion?
I watched a news report last night, of VP Vance speaking in Munich, and the camera panned to Ursula von der Leyen (I'm pretty sure it was her). She had a SCOWL on her face of so much contempt for what Vance was saying.
My thought was that she personifies the EU, which is source of Europe's problems.
Ursula is the closest we can get to an authentic 19th-century aristocrat here in the 21st century. She loathes the plebs, only feels safe and comfortable surrounded by servants, and thinks its beneath her dignity to have to listen to gauche Americans.
Every word, gesture and expression of hers says more or less the same thing: if people only followed orders, did as they were told and kept their mouths shut, then she and her class could get back to running the world, as god intended.
I didn't realize that the "authorities" were saying that the previous attacks were happening because the perpetrators were "mentally ill" or "mentally disturbed". While this is no doubt true -- I have a hard time imagining someone doing this if they weren't -- they seem to be avoiding the idea that their religious ideology is core to their illness and disturbance.
For the leaders of the West, liberal cosmopolitans all committed to the sacred creed of Diversity, Islamism is like a Medusa they know will destroy them if they ever look at it squarely in the face.
Not only would facing it destroy their ideological illusions and render their modern project of mass migration and interchangeable undifferentiated humanity a total failure, it would require them to climb down off their moral high horses and return to the traditional mode and purpose of politics: protecting your own people and fighting their enemies. They would also have to acknowledge that religion is real and powerful (which seems impossible to conceive to people so deeply secular) and that Islam and the Christian West aren't necessarily a good match.
Our Western liberal ruling class has zero fight in them, unless it's the fight to scold and smother their own people into subservient silence. They would rather be run over in the street than relinquish their sacred faith of liberal universalist humanitarianism (and they just might be).
Any fight to protect Europeans against Islamism will require an entirely new generation of leaders.
Yeah, but I think that's all coming down quickly as people digest the corruption coming out of DC and how the money was used against us...like with illegals.
> For the leaders of the West, liberal cosmopolitans all committed to the sacred creed of Diversity, Islamism is like a Medusa they know will destroy them if they ever look at it squarely in the face.
They would rather their fellow countrymen be run over in the street than relinquish their sacred faith of liberal universalist humanitarianism. However, when it comes to their own skins, they will drop that sacred faith like it was an angry bobcat.
Sadly, most people in the West, apparently including those in government, do not in the least understand what is written and said in Islam via the Quran and in the Hadiths (sayings of Mohammad). It's pretty ugly and vicious in many ways, and Muslims (especially in the Middle East) are brainwashed with this stuff and learn to recite the Quran by memory from the youngest age, starting at 4 or 5. It is so downright stupid and naive to think because they emigrate to a Western Christian based country that they will automatically assimilate, abandon their prior beliefs and take on Western values. It's NOT going to happen, as we see.
When is the German population (or at least the 75% who aren't AfD) going to wake up and say, "Enough is enough!" I would have thought that even "reasonable" Germans would, by now, have been revolting in the streets over the condition of politics to which the country has sunk. Maybe it will take total economic collapse before the hoi polloi finally start sharpening their pitchforks and lighting their torches...
Never. They will never wake up. This has been going on for many, many years and they never change. A hundred guys just like this could blow up the German Parliament and these voters wouldn't budge an inch.
The only thing that can affect change is if one or two "elites" at the top (e.g. the CDU guy) finally can't stomach the immorality anymore and switch sides.
“What’s important now is that the causes will be cleared up quickly”
I’m sure Habeck is very glad that the policeman shouting to put away cell phones as soon as the attacker started screaming about his god was not quite fast enough. He almost was – but not quite.
If he had done it sooner clarification might have been more difficult, which surely would have frustrated Habeck without end. It’s very important to Habeck that this is cleared up quickly, I am sure he wants everybody to know every detail before the 23rd.
I am placing this link here for Eugyppius readers, since I was confronted with the WSJ headline prior to the devastating news out of Munich. I am hoping it's accessible for non-subscribers. This quote at the end is prescient: “We have had such massive problems in Germany with refugees and asylum seekers in the last few years,” Merz said.
Thank you for this link. It’s very convenient for Merz to blame Elon Musk for the “boost” to the AfD - of course their recent success is nothing at all to do with the recent dreadful attacks on German citizens.
Given that the US is 90% of NATO, that's a fairly toothless threat. Not that I actually *want* us to incorporate Greenland.And I actively *oppose* the idea of incorporating Canada. I mean, my gods, I don't want a bunch of *Canadians* voting in our elections! The Northeast and Left Coast are bad enough!
It's behind the paywall. Luckily my Dad is a print subscriber, so I can read this at my leisure. Since it is not an editorial, I am sure it will be infuriating to read the leftward bias of the piece, with which all "news" pieces are now infected in the WSJ.
My prayers are with those poor, poor people who were struck by this attack. I won't be so uncharitable as to accuse the Greens and Social Democrats as having "blood on their hands" due to their votes in the Bundestag on January 31st. But I certainly would not criticize the victims of the attack if they held such a point of view.
This may be the final pre-election gift to the AfD. One last straw to break the camel's back. Let's hope.
And here I was, recently lamenting the notion that there was "too much time" that had elapsed between the Aschaffensburg attack and the February election date. Silly me.
Nope. Mr. Noori had your back.

I just can't wrap my mind around a valid reason these so called "leaders" are doing this.
Instead of embracing this death cult called Islam, we should going all crusades on their asses.
'I just can't wrap my mind around a valid reason these so called "leaders" are doing this.'
Hence the rise of populism across the West—you're not alone.
I know I'm not alone, but it depresses me to think how many still do differ on this and other conservative issues, not just in the US but throughout the western world.
I believe Putin recently commented that the EU leaders and the leaders of the individual countries will be licking his boots soon.

it's a joke i'm playing off of the media going absolutely bonkers when trump referred to haiti as a shithole country during his first term.
Correct.
It is their behaviour, not their ethnicity.
Same with Israelis. It is their behaviour that causes me to identify them as "Red Sea Pedestrians".
Totally. Now folks can FINALLY see that change / common sense is possible. It should be an Epic few years ahead.

I am placing this link here for Eugyppius readers, since I was confronted with the WSJ headline prior to the devastating news out of Munich. I am hoping it's accessible for non-subscribers. This quote at the end is prescient: “We have had such massive problems in Germany with refugees and asylum seekers in the last few years,” Merz said.

Thank you for this link. It’s very convenient for Merz to blame Elon Musk for the “boost” to the AfD - of course their recent success is nothing at all to do with the recent dreadful attacks on German citizens.
Thank you! (That's what I get for trusting their "copy free link"!)
Thank you. He threatened our tech companies if Trump imposes tariffs. Was he involved in the NATO meeting about protecting Greenland from us?
Given that the US is 90% of NATO, that's a fairly toothless threat. Not that I actually *want* us to incorporate Greenland.And I actively *oppose* the idea of incorporating Canada. I mean, my gods, I don't want a bunch of *Canadians* voting in our elections! The Northeast and Left Coast are bad enough!
It's behind the paywall. Luckily my Dad is a print subscriber, so I can read this at my leisure. Since it is not an editorial, I am sure it will be infuriating to read the leftward bias of the piece, with which all "news" pieces are now infected in the WSJ.
you can say that again!
It's paywalled, of course. Germany- we have massive problems with refugees and asylum seekers, but we will punish Musk.

My prayers are with those poor, poor people who were struck by this attack. I won't be so uncharitable as to accuse the Greens and Social Democrats as having "blood on their hands" due to their votes in the Bundestag on January 31st. But I certainly would not criticize the victims of the attack if they held such a point of view.
