Fresh fuel was added to Germany's ongoing integration debate over the weekend when Horst Seehofer, premier of the state of Bavaria, said Germany should not accept any more Muslim or Arab immigrants.

On the heels of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin, in which the German leader reiterated that negotiations for EU membership for Turkey remained "open-ended with no guarantees," Seehofer called for excluding some groups of immigrants from Germany.

"It is clear that immigrants from other cultural circles, like Turkey or Arabic countries, have a hard time," he told the weekly news magazine Focus. "That leads me to the conclusion that we do not need any more migrants from other cultural circles."

At a regional party conference, Seehofer also declared that the Green party's concept of multiculturalism had failed. "Reality has taught us multi-culti is dead," he said.

Despite its origins lying in the Pagan traditions of Europe,
May_day May_day
is like Christmas for antis, especially in Europe. Even otherwise placid, sedentary, apolitical neckbeards feel compelled to go outside and appraise themselves of the current mood of the day.

Germany is no different. Countless warnings abound for the American expatriated community to avoid a number of demonstrations that "may" lead to violence or otherwise anti-American sentiment.

A relative latecomer to White Nationalism (three years now), I've never been to one of these events. In the spirit of Chain at Kirksville and Alex at Knoxville, I will go to one tomorrow, see what the fuss is about, and document it to the best of my ability.

My planned venue is a counterprotest at a nearby town by the NPD, the German "extreme right" party of only marginal success. It is expected to be large and the theme is the relatively mild "Against the invasion of foreign workers." Not to be outdone, the antis have planned to converge on the town from all over Germany to overcome the police protection in place for the NPD. I am sure to get my fill of bongos, dreadlocks, and pantaloons. Of course, I will remain civil, of neat appearance, and in full compliance with the law.

Provided everything goes according to plan, I'll post a follow up field report later. If anybody else is planning anything similar elsewhere, I'm keen to hear as well. Happy May Day everybody.

Default Update

So May Day 2011 has come and went and this past weekend's march of the NPD in Heilbronn was a resounding success. I say this in the sense that any demonstration of the NPD that is allowed by the authorities to take place to begin with is a success. Despite two legal attempts by the city and government to prevent the NPD from demonstrating, they were allowed to assemble at the train station (Hauptbahnhof) and have several speakers address the crowd.

Unfortunately, I was not able to here the speeches first hand, nor was any member of the general public. A little explanation is in order to give you a sense of the difficulty that any expression of ethnic pride by Whites in Europe entails.

As I stated in a previous post, I'm an American expat who lives in Germany. Unfortunately, I do not have deep connections and contacts here. My command of the German language is such that I can pick up a magazine article and comprehend the main point and supporting arguments, but not enough that I can appreciate the exact meaning of every sentence, particularly anything written idiomatically. I can also converse on matters of politics with Germans, but often in a primitive way that conveys the basic point.

This weekend was my second attempt to actually meet and speak with somebody in the NPD. Although I'm in general opposed to socialism, many of the planks of the NPD platform are agreeable. They believe (gasp) in the German family as the basis of German society and the ethnic German people as the constituents of this family. They oppose the stigma of guilt imposed on the German people as a result of WWII (Schuldkult beenden).

With a few talking points and subject of agreement, I tried to meet these guys a while back. The German soccer team was playing a foreign country not too far from me, and the NPD was supposed to show up and demonstrate along the theme "White, not just for a jersey color but for a true national team). I knew I was in the right place because there were actually NPD signs hung around town, albeit in very high places where they could not be ripped down or defaced easily. Unfortunately, they never showed up at the appointed time and place.

This past weekend's event was heavily planned in advance and with maximum participation anticipated by both the NPD and the "antifas," the latter of whom were bussed in from all over Germany. It was clear in advance that after the NPD got the legal green light to have their demonstration that the German police would have to act accordingly. They literally sealed off the train station from public access and put police checkpoints all over the city that prevented the public from easily reaching the downtown area.

After arriving and parking far from the train station, I was forced to try to find a way around all these checkpoints. What struck me as unusual was that at each checkpoint, the "antifa" were also present as if to observe the people that wanted to pass to verify that no "Nazis" were present. I tried to casually obtain permission to pass beyond these checkpoints, but was told that if I was not a resident then I could not pass. When I asked if there were other areas through which I could pass to get downtown, the police played dumb or were dismissive. As a result, I walked around the control area and after a lot of walking was able to find areas through which I could freely walk without interference. So in a very roundabout way, I finally reached the train station.

At the train station, everything was sealed off. There was no vehicular or rail traffic. The NPD was inside, but I could not see them. Outside the train station, there was a designated area where the antis could protest, and they were there in large droves. Without wasting too many words on them, it was your usual collection of teenage whites, some in faux punk costumes, many with the hoody/bandanna ensemble, and some nigged out in dreadlocks. There was also the usual menagerie of bemused arabs and nigs no doubt amused at YT's willingness to go to bat for them, not to mention the opportunity for getting some white tail. What struck me also was how many people in the city who otherwise appeared to be politically ambivalent had little pins affixed to their clothing or strips of red tape or other little shit to show their support for the antis. In my mind, this reinforced what Pierce said about 80% of the population being incapable of having independent though and content to follow and rationalize the existing ideology of the controlling minority.

In any case, from my vantage point, neither I nor any average citizen had the opportunity to see the NPD, let alone hear what they had to say. At one point, the antis threw fireworks at the cops and they ended up arresting about 400. The only hate I saw on display came entirely from the leftists.

Spotting a "Fuck the racist police" type banner, I struck up conversation with some of the riot cops. Although the banner was obvious to everyone I directed the cops attention to it and said "they're talking about you." I said "kids nowadays," which got a few guffaws from the cops. I followed up with "It's just like some kind of MTV program." Then, a la Chain, I gleefully educated the cops as to who the boss of MTV is and his bullshit name.

A lot of the cops in Germany seem to be young 20 or 30 somethings that don't even look like cops, but I found it revealing in speaking with them that they would shamelessly refer to the NPD as the Nazis and fascists with little compunction just like the antifas but would not refer to the latter as the communists or criminals as I referred to them.

In German politics, you have your choice of a number of parties that are aligned at various points along the left side of the spectrum, and two of the biggest lefties, "Die Linke" (the Left) and Bündis 90/Die Grünen (the Greens) had setup their own demonstration in the downtown square, where some fat woman that looked like a potential member of the chosen was free to address the entire town to her heart's content. With shaved head and Celtic cross necklace, I caught many looks and had a visible sneer on my face as I listened to her, but nobody really had the heart to say anything to me. It seems that many Germans engage in radical Jewish Marxism politics in a very perfunctory way, as if it's required as part of their identity (or homework for class), but they are otherwise not that committed to it.

After the lady spoke, some folkish type band began playing, but this was of limited interest to the crowd who were no doubt hoping for the more enlightened sound of exalted jungle beats that also blared out of the loudspeakers of the various vans that the antifas had stationed at the checkpoints. Enterprising Turks took the opportunity to set up a mobile food kitchen, and it being Sunday and with everything closed, charged commensurate prices to feed the Germans uninspired Baltic food that inflated the Germans' self-sense of cosmopolitanism. I left and went home.

All told, I'm disappointed that I could not meet anybody but the ordeal gave me a firmer appreciation for the freedoms we still have in the U.S. to assemble, name the enemy to his face, and not be thrown in jail for it. I'm looking forward to my vacation in the U.S. soon and hopefully will have more meaningful adventures.

P.S. If anybody is interested what Germany is like from the perspective of a WN who has been here for a while but is still an outsider, feel free to ask me!

[Thanks for the report, Pietro! It could easily get lost in this section, I will copy it into general. Here's another report on prep in Berlin for anarchists going off.]

Berlin braces for surges in May Day violence

28 Apr 11 07:32 CET

The anarchist uproar following the eviction of a Berlin squat in January could mean the city faces more leftist violence than usual during this year’s May Day demonstrations. Exberliner magazine's Anne-Lena Mösken spoke to a member of the leftist scene.

For a week in January the streets of Berlin’s Friedrichshain district were littered with shards of glass reflecting the flashing blue lights of cop cars. The residents of one of the last remaining squat houses in the German capital, Liebig14, were forcibly evicted, triggering a protest that reached unprecedented levels of anarchist violence.

It took 2,500 police to clear a single building that day. Once inside – after five hours breaking down a door barricaded with trash, barbed wire and steel bars – the cops were welcomed by Pippi Longstocking-style traps, like a mysterious arrangement of five bathtubs filled with a red liquid and connected to electrical cables.

The rest of the police force was busy all day and night, trying to pacify a wild mob that smashed up banks, shops and bus-stops, not only in Friedrichshain but throughout the city, allegedly causing €1 million of damage.

“These actions were right and good,” an anonymous participant wrote on Indymedia after the demonstrations. While the increase of leftist violence in Berlin may be partially due to the faddish appeal of burning cars, the protests around the eviction of Liebig14 have shown there is a new spirit of mobilization among rioters – and it’s one that stretches beyond the usual suspects.

With May 1 at the doorstep, the question lies at hand: will this year’s riot make the last couple of years look like a day at the beach?

Meet the rioters

“I was shocked when I saw the protests against the Liebig14 eviction,” says a guy who introduces himself as Jonas Schiesser. The 29-year-old wears a baseball cap pushed back to his neck and a Kreuzberg 36Boys baseball jacket. Sipping a latte at a Turkish café, he doesn’t lower his voice when he speaks; he has nothing to hide, at least not here. He is part of the leftist scene in Berlin, he says, and actively involved in the planning of the Revolutionary May 1 demonstration, the massive ritualized May Day event in Kreuzberg that always erupts into street fighting between police and anarchists by sundown.

To Schiesser, something of an expert in such things, much of the Liebig14 vandalism didn’t seem that spontaneous at all, but rather planned. Who was behind it? “I have absolutely no idea,” he says.

Even among those on the ultra-left, pinpointing the source of rising aggression is difficult. The number of active extreme leftists has shown only slow growth in the last several years, but the number of violent crimes (arson, assault and breach of peace) attributed to left-wing extremism has risen substantially. There were 1,115 offences in Germany in 2009 – that’s 400 more than the year before. And Berlin has seen a staggering four-fold increase from 54 to 215.

There seems to be a lot of potential for aggression out there that isn’t being attributed to any particular radical group. There were appeals on the internet to use violence against the police force before the eviction, recommendations to use sling shots and certain kinds of ammunition to cause maximum harm. Even the use of laser pointers to distract the helicopters was encouraged. The police officially deny that they are readying themselves for these sorts of threats this May Day.

Off with his head

Violence, or "militancy", is highly debated within the leftist scene itself, but the May Day groups all pretty much agree it should exist in some form: “The capitalist system cannot be overcome with the participatory means democracy offers,” Schiesser says. It’s always been like that, he adds. “Think of the king’s head that had to roll for the French revolution to be successful.”

As an example of the opposite tack and its futility, he points to the referendum that couldn’t stop Mediaspree riverside development project. Also, in the extreme leftist view, violence is brought into the game by the system itself: socio-economically, with the failure of the social net to combat poverty, and at demos, in the way the police confront protesters.

Following this line of reasoning, some years the May Day demonstration is more violent than others due to escalating social problems. In 2009, at the peak of the financial crisis, 479 members of the police were injured at the riots, yet the count went down to 95 in 2010 – and of course, if you ask Schiesser, the police are first and foremost to blame.

Rise of the riot cops?

“Their strategy got so much more aggressive,” Schiesser says, recalling the image of a May 1 he knew 10 years ago where the police were on one side of the street and protesters on the other. The situation was calculable, the force of water cannons harsh but predictable. These days the police operate with small units that go directly into the crowd. They wear body armour. They are fast and highly mobile.

Schiesser explains how every year, leftist groups from the Antifa to Arab associations try to inject their protests with content, addressing topics that proved to be important over the past year. For the 15th anniversary of the demonstration, it’s the migrants in the Mediterranean, Sarrazin’s contribution to the integration debate, gentrification and the drastic increase in rental prices, and – something they actually have in common with Chancellor Merkel since the disaster in Japan – the newly revived anti-nuclear power discussion.

Spontaneous participation by passersby who stumble onto a demonstration is not only welcome, says Schiesser, but is a traditional part of May 1. He gives the example of when the inhabitants of St. Elisabeth-Stift retirement home went on a looting spree on May Day, 1987. Or the Turkish community that joined demonstrators to protest their living conditions here in Kreuzberg.

Schiesser and his fellow revolutionaries want "real" people to get involved and express their rage about social problems, and not people who just enjoy violence. Referring to the street fair set up by the police in Kreuzberg on May Day, Schiesser says, “Myfest has become Berlin’s Oktoberfest full of drunk macho men who are racist, rude towards women, and simply not fun to be around.”

Political event or spectator sport?

If you were there last year, you’ve seen how the hills of Görlitzer Park became a grandstand for the party crowd to watch the revolution spectacle with phone cameras and chilled beers in hand. Lately, it is hard to tell if May 1 in Kreuzberg is actually a political event or just a spectator sport. A lot of thrill-seeking kids travel from all over Germany explicitly for a little riotous and drunken fun.

How do the organizers deal with the "riot tourists"? Schiesser shrugs: “It’s an occasion where we can raise awareness beyond our usual interest groups.” He claims that with over 10,000 participants, their demonstration has proven to be more significant in previous years than the traditional May Day demonstrations by the trade unions.

But he does concede a problem: “So far, there is still no broad social movement behind our ideals for the rest of the year.” But he’s convinced there’s hope for the day yet. “As social problems grow bigger,” he says, “Revolutionary May 1 will become more and more political and less a day for (posh) high school kids to make party videos.”

There is already evidence that the Liebig14 riot could have been just a taste of what’s to come on May 1. Recently, leaflets were distributed in Kreuzberg 36 reading: “May 1, day of wrath – we’re gonna copy North Africa.”

Default Germans beginning to question Israel and the Holo narrative

Quote:
BERLIN — The anti-war poem published by Günter Grass is a subtle but straightforward example of a
tendency in Germany that the historian Dan Diner has called "exonerating projection": the relativization of the Holocaust® through the implicit equation of Israel with Nazi Germany. In the poem, "What Must Be Said," the 84 year-old Nobel prize-winner, who was a member of the Waffen-SS, as a teenager imagines himself as a "survivor" of an Israeli nuclear strike on Iran.

What must be said, according to Grass, is that "the nuclear power Israel" — rather than Iran — "endangers an already fragile world peace." Grass says he had not spoken out previously because his nationality "forbade" it: any German breaking the silence on the Israel nuclear program may be accused of anti-Semitism.2012/04/germans-beginning-to-question-israel-and-the-holo-narrative/

Germany opposes military intervention in Syria

World | June 11, 2012 | 16:05
Source: Tanjug

BERLIN -- The German government, according FM Guido Westerwelle and Defense Minister Thomas de Maiziere, is rejecting demands for military intervention in Syria.


Guido Westerwelle (Beta, file)


Westerwelle told Die Welt am Sonntag that anyone making such demands "must be aware of the risks", and added that a capitulation of political solutions meant "turning away from the people in Syria".

''This should not be done under any circumstances'," Westerwelle was quoted as saying.

In his effort to help resolve the crisis in Syria, the German minister was conducting a peace initiative in the Middle East and Gulf states, during which he visited Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon and Turkey.

''The spread of fire, that could set the whole region ablaze, must be prevented. We, on the occasion of the very complex and dangerous situation in Syria, must not cherish false expectations that a military intervention could force a quick fix," said Westerwelle.

Defense Minister Tomas de Maiziere also made statements strongly opposing a possible military intervention.

De Maiziere, considered a close associate of Chancellor Angela Merkel, told the TAZ newspaper that it was "difficult for him to bear" for salon intellectuals from around the world speaking in favor of engagement of soldiers, while they would not be held to account as to "what that means":

''One must ask whether this would be harmful or beneficial, beneficial to whom, how long it would last, how it might be exited, what are the costs - in terms of people and money, what is the legal basis...''.

The German minister added that he "viewed with concern" the requests for military intervention, and believes that "the total weight of the consequences" is not being sufficiently taken into consideration.

Germany opposes military intervention in Libya
March 04, 2011

http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/90...3/7307944.html

Quote:
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said Friday that his country is against military intervention in Libya because such a move could be counter-productive.

Instead, Germany calls for the international community to impose "well-targeted" sanctions on Libya, Westerwelle said at a meeting of central and eastern European foreign ministers in Slovakia.

The international community should not cooperate with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, he said. "There's no doubt about that."

"It would be appropriate to suggest freezing all Libya's financial operations in the months," he said.

Germany believes that sanctions should not have a bad effect on the people of Libya, but will put pressure on Gaddafi to step down, he added.

German seas 'among best in the world'

Germany's seas are deemed far above average for natural and human considerations – the seventh best in the world according to the most comprehensive health check of national waters.

The new "Ocean Health Index” compiled by a team of American scientists and published in the current edition of the journal Nature, gave German seas a score of 73, way above the global average score of 60/100.

The score given to the German Baltic and North Sea coasts was the same as that awarded the Seychelles, islands famous for their glorious beaches.

The US scientists collected data on 171 countries' national waters - legally defined as the 200-mile stretch of water directly off a nation's coastline, also known as the exclusive economic zone (EEZ).

Each nation's treatment of and relationship with the sea was judged in a total of 10 categories and was then given an overall score between 0 and 100 based on the average in all categories.

The stretch of the North and Baltic Seas along Germany's coastline scored well in 8 out of 10 categories, including coastal protection, water quality, species diversity, but also the contribution of the sea to the economy and local fishing, wrote Die Welt newspaper on Wednesday.

"The water quality in the North and Baltic Seas is much better today than a just few decades ago," Martin Visbeck, marine scientist at Geomar Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel told the Tagesspiegel on Thursday.

Parliament must pay €50,000 to neo-Nazi party

Published: 16 Aug 12 16:33 CET

The German parliament will have to pay €50,000 to the extreme right NPD party after a court ruled that just because it merged with another party, it should not be responsible for that other party’s finances.

Police launch strike on western neo-Nazis

Authorities in western Germany banned three far-right groups on Thursday and raided around 150 properties in the biggest strike against neo-Nazis ever seen in the region.

More than 900 police officers entered the buildings as North Rhine-Westphalia Interior Minister Ralf Jäger banned the groups Nationaler Widerstand Dortmund, Kameradschaft Hamm and Kameradschaft Aachener Land.

The three groups were considered the most dangerous in the state, the Tagesspiegel newspaper reported on Thursday. They were all regarded as violent, with the Aachen group considered nasty enough to border on terrorism.

Two members of this last group were stopped on their way to Berlin two years ago - and found with home-made bombs containing pieces of glass which they allegedly planned to throw at left-wingers and police.

They also strongly identified with the neo-Nazi terrorist group that called itself the National Socialist Underground, which is thought to have been responsible for nine racially motivated murders as well as the killing of a policewoman.

“With this we are tearing a big hole in the network of neo-Nazis,” said Jäger.

Around 100 addresses were searched in Dortmund, Hamm and in the Unna area, as well as nearly 50 flats in Aachen, Düren and Heinsberg.

The groups’ funds were confiscated and wearing the badges or symbols of the groups is illegal from now on.

Far-right violence has long been pigeon-holed as an eastern German problem, but this move in the heart of western Germany will reopen questions about how widespread Nazism is across the country.

Default Germany's last surviving U-Boat captain gets modern military honour



http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ry-honour.html

Quote:
Germany's last surviving U-Boat captain who helped sink dozens of U.S. and British ships has been honoured by the modern military in his homeland seven decades after he was twice decorated by Hitler for bravery.

Reinhard Hardegen, 99, was one of the most successful commanders during Operation Drumbeat, when Nazi submarines attacked merchant ships along the east coast of North America.

Some 3.1 million tons of ships were sunk for the loss of 22 Nazi subs during seven months in 1942, which German commanders nicknamed the 'American shooting season'.
...
He wore the medal this week to celebrations in his native Bremen, which honoured his bravery in a service which saw the highest casualties of any in the war: 28,000 out of 40,000 crewmen never returned from their patrols.
...
He went on to build up a successful oil trading company, and was a member of Parliament in his hometown of Bremen for 32 years.

Hardegen travelled extensively in America, where he met men who had tried to kill him during his U-Boat service.

'They are my friends to this day,' he said.

The modern-day army in Germany honoured him for his wartime service at a barracks in Bremen.

Hardegen, who has four children, eight grandchildren and seven great grandchildren, has already reserved space in the town hall restaurant in Bremen for his 100th birthday next year.

Austrian leader defends support for Palestinians

Source: Tanjug

VIENNA -- Austrian President Heinz Fischer believes that his country's decision to support Palestine's bid to become observer state at the UN was "right and logical".




"Upgrading the status of Palestinians in the UN was no brave and reckless initiative. Tactics was not the main motive behind my considerations and actions. When making decisions, I think about many aspects that it has. I think that for factual reasons it was right and logical to support of the Palestinian request," Fischer told Die Presse.

He added that most European democracies had also voted in favor of the request. When the reporter noted that Germany did not, Fischer stated that "Berlin has a special perspective and special relationship with the United States", while Austria was "an independent state".

"If you read the (Palestinian) request from the first to the last row you will not find a single line that is unacceptable. There are no arguments for which Austria would be required to vote against," the president noted, and added that he believed that the UN General Assembly voted on the relations of Palestine and the Palestinian authorities with the UN, rather than on the establishment of the state of Palestine.

The observer status, he said, is justified if the desire is for Palestinians and Israelis to live peacefully in the two countries next to each other, which is something Austria supports. Fischer also criticized a decision by Israel not to forward Palestinian tax money, saying that "threats cannot be an argument".

Germany may ban magazine said to glorify Nazis
By SAM SOKOL, BENJAMIN WEINTHAL, JERUSALEM POST

‘Der Landser’ accused by Simon Wiesenthal Center of presenting SS officers as heroes.


THE COVER of the ‘Der Landser’ magazine’s English edition.

The German Interior Ministry is contemplating banning Der Landser, a magazine accused of glorifying Nazism by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, according to a report by news outlet Der Westen.

Der Landser is a historical publication focused on the “hardships and sacrifice demonstrated” by German troops during World War II.

Last week, Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean of the SWC, wrote to both German Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich and Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger to request that the government investigate the magazine for violating a federal statute prohibiting the glorification of Nazism.

A ban would show “neo- Nazis, skinheads, and jihadists other than the bare truth that there was no honor or nobility ever attached to the Third Reich,” Heir wrote. “The Simon Wiesenthal Center believes that by presenting members of the Waffen SS, members of the infamous Totenkopf units and Nazi war criminals as German heroes, Der Landser is desecrating the memory of the Holocaust and glorifying Nazism.”

Heir urged the ministers to take what he called “appropriate action” against the publication, which he said “portrays [members of the Waffen SS] as honorable soldiers – such as British, American, Canadian or French soldiers – but the reality is they were murderous thugs.”

Heir said his call comes “at a time when 20 percent of all Germans still harbor anti- Semitic attitudes, when crimes committed by the far right rose to 17,616 and anti- Semitic attacks increased 10.6 percent.”

He added that he also appealed to the German operation of online bookseller Amazon.com to stop selling the magazine but was rebuffed.

The German Interior Ministry said it is looking into the matter and that it takes Heir’s accusations “very seriously.”

A report issued by SWC researcher Dr. Stefan Klemp in July noted that out of 29 SS men featured in the magazine, 24 served in units that engaged in actions considered war crimes.

“These so-called military units of the Waffen-SS were deeply involved in the Holocaust,” Klemp noted.

Bauer Publishing, one of Europe’s largest publishers of periodicals and the producer of the magazine, issued a statement denying Heir and Klemp’s critiques and stating that they had been investigated for possible violations of the law several times since Der Landser began publication in 1957.

“Every publication of the Bauer Media Group is in accord with German law. This is also true of Der Landser,” Bauer responded.

“The publisher puts great value on not allowing Nazism to be glorified or Nazi crimes to be played down.”

Heir responded incredulously, saying that “at no time did the magazine point out that the ‘hero’ they were profiling belonged to a unit that took part in the extermination of the Jews.”

“By cleansing and hiding that fact from the public, they are directly in violation of section 86 of the German penal code,” Heir said.

“Imagine today doing a profile on Heinrich Himmler at home with his family without pointing out what Himmler’s role was in the murder of six million Jews.”
