Fredrick Töben reviews Gerard Menuhin's new book

Gerard Menuhin: Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil

A review by Fredrick Töben

The book has no chapters but divides into four sections, which makes for challenging reading:

I–to p 162: Thwarted: Humanity’s Last Grasp For Freedom;

II–to p 294: Identified: Illumination Or The Diagnostic Of Darkness;

III–to p 366: Extinguished: Civilization;

IV–to p 457: Final Stage: Communist Vassalage.

Section I: Thwarted:

Humanity’s Last Grasp For Freedom

The heading conveys a grave, almost certainly a pessimistic message, and so with pencil in hand I begin to read through the section and immediately notice how Menuhin’s autobiographical account of his awakening to the German problem begins at home in England between the expressed views of his mother and father on the gassing allegations. His mother reminds him that had he been about in Germany during the war, then he would have been gassed, while his father, Yehudi – 1916-1999, the world renowned violinist – never talks about the war. This creates a conceptual dissonance that is further accentuated through Menuhin spending a year at the primary section of the private Salem boarding school at Lake Constance where he feels the German children around him are just like any other children. And later he also realizes that it does not make sense to him that a highly cultured nation, such as Germany has always been, could have become a part of a genocidal plan to exterminate the Jews. The final straw moment, so to speak, occurs when he is engaged in cleaning up his late grandparents’ home and finds copies of Gerhard Frey’s National-Zeitung.

First gathering of Pegida in 2016: the beginning of a landmark year

Published by carolyn on Mon, 2016-01-04 14:04

This is Jan. 4, 2016, below freezing in Dresden, and the Pegida crowd looks the same as always. They are extremely faithful.

Live Stream video of the rally

6:30 In Dresden it snowed, it is very cold, minus 4 degrees and windless. The square in front of the Semper Opera fills. The Opera House projects its now-familiar slogan: "We are not a stage for xenophobia".

The Pegida opponents are at the Postplatz having a counter-demo and all around are police buses that have these demonstrators completely encircled.

In the Church of Our Lady today is the traditional prayer for peace. After that there will be a procession and some may wish to join the counter-demonstrators "Dresden Pegidafrei" initiative.

Arab Muslims “massively” molest women on New Year's Eve in Cologne

Published by carolyn on Sat, 2016-01-02 12:42

Young woman in Cologne, Germany celebrating the New Year 2016 provokes a culture-clash with Arab  foreigners.

Cologne is, as you might remember, one of the high spots of the Welcoming Culture in Germany. The mayor, Henriette Recker, was previously responsible for running refugee services in the city—in charge of accommodating asylum-seekers.

So it is not unexpected that about 30 women have now reported to the police that they were molested in Cologne's main train station on New Year's Eve.

A group of men encircled multiple women and “with their hands they were really everywhere. This is something I've never experienced,” said a 22 year-old victim. “When we called for help, they laughed.”

Augsburg: Even the supervisors have had enough of refugee complaints

As refugee complaints increase, will the cowardly Merkel-led Germans be able to stand up against the abuse?

A demonstration of refugees in Augsberg on Dec. 28, 2015. It's not a joke.


For weeks, there have been problems at the Ottostrasse property in Augsburg (Bavaria) because Syrians are not satisfied and want to go somewhere else. One man is the ringleader, according to the Augsburger Allgemeine.

Several Syrian refugee families want to move out of shared accommodations in Ottostrasse. For weeks, some fathers have been causing trouble: verbal attacks against social workers, shouting, criminal damage. Their argument is that in Lebanon, where they had previously been, the United Nations staff had promised them they would get flats immediately in Germany. On Monday, the situation escalated; three families threatened to spend the night in front of the Rathaus (Town Hall).

Happy New Year

Wishing all my readers the very best in 2016

For me, 2015 was the year of PEGIDA

and its surprising success against strong headwinds.

Will 2016 be the year of Trump?

He's facing the same headwinds.

Keep the POPULISM rising - make it a good year for us.

Red-Green political hack files charges against Pegida for Facebook comments

Published by carolyn on Tue, 2015-12-29 12:22

Volker Beck, an openly homosexual Green Party legislator who has called for the right of Muslims and Jews in Germany to carry on their excessively cruel Kosher/Halal style butchering of animals, is blaming Pegida for what he calls “threatening, offensive” comments on his Facebook page.

According to DW:

Beck is pressing charges against those responsible at anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim Pegida movement as well as 18 individuals who [have] posted offensive and threatening comments on his Facebook account.

"One of my posts on Facebook had 430 comments, 35 of which contained violent and/or death threats without anyone in charge [of the movement] attempting to moderate," Beck said on his Facebook page.

"The named persons openly called for me to be castrated, circumcized, suffer violence, they even called for me to be butchered kosher style," he told Berlin prosecutors according to a report by Germany's "Funke Media Group." The comments were in reaction to a post where Beck had called for religious freedom for Muslims and Jews, including the right to butcher livestock Kosher/Halal style.

The German Christmas tree and ... whoops

Published by carolyn on Fri, 2015-12-25 11:38

What is that ugly metal contraption peeking out from behind the German National Christmas Tree standing in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin? Oh, it's a Jewish Menorah with a lighted Star of David.

Of all the eight images of "Christmas Trees around the World" posted at Deutsche Welle, Germany's is the only one with a menorah standing beside it.

That is so because Germany, in spite of inventing the lighted tree to celebrate its most beloved winter festival, is a hostage nation - hostage to the people of the Menorah. So the beautiful tree must share its place of honor with the grotesque giant candlestick representing the state of Israel. As recently written by a Spiegel essayist in English: "Israel's security is cemented as a fundamental principal of the German state." And this picture illustrates that so well.

Look for more on this subject from me in the new year. Merry Christmas!

Tattoo Criminals—Elie Wiesel should be investigated for holocaust fraud

Published by carolyn on Wed, 2015-12-23 17:04

The tattoo that, if seen by the public, will incite hatred for Jews, according to prosecutors and courts in Brandenburg, Germany. But why wouldn’t it incite sympathy just as well?

By Carolyn Yeager

In a Berlin court, a German man is convicted for having a tattoo resembling a concentration camp entrance on his body.

Why then is Elie Wiesel not convicted in Germany for not having a concentration camp tattoo on his body, but saying he does?

Wiesel was in Germany at least three times  impersonating a “nazi” concentration camp survivor. His first visit was in June 1986 when he spoke in Loccum, West Germany as the author of the book Night, which he claims to be a record his own experience. In Night, the main character is  tattooed with the number A7713 on his left forearm, which Elie claimed under oath in California is still there on his arm. Apparently, no one in Loccum asked to see it.

He returned the next year in November 1987 and spoke in a modern conference center inside the shell of the destroyed Reichstag. The title of his talk was “Reflections of a Survivor” in which he, as in the prior year, couldn’t keep from speaking words of blame toward the German people.  Continue reading ...

Pegida Weihnachtsliedersingen, 12-21-15

Published by carolyn on Mon, 2015-12-21 13:38

SENSATIONAL TURNOUT !!! Estimated 15 to 18,000

The Elbe River is the setting for the Christmas carol singing of the Dresden Pegidan on Dec. 21, 2015.

Watch Livestream: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1RDFGKooMcA

Also see: Pegida on Facebook for more pictures, news

From The Epoch Times

UPDATE: The Pegida venue was first changed to the Silesian square outside the station in Dresden Neustadt. At the last minute it became the Königsufer near the State Chancellery when the demonstration permit for the Silesian square went to another association, one described by Lutz Bachmann on Facebook as an "Antifa-Demo'".

At the Semperoper Plaza where Pegida has gathered from the very beginning, a different group was given permission for this date [apparently calling themselves “Dresden Nazifrei,” even though Pegida has nothing to do with Nazis]. According to The Epoch Times, at 5:30 pm a demo named "Heart Instead of Baiting" filled the square to about one-third, with people spread out with plenty of space betweem them. There was a video shown and about an hour of music and speeches by artists from the Semper Opera and the Schauspielhaus (as best I can understand). The antifa crowd was estimated at only 3,000 to 4,000.

The rise of Viktor Orban

Viktor Orban - Europe's Man of the Year?

By Carolyn Yeager

EU leadership is trying to regain control after the migrant disaster of 2015

European Union leaders are now being forced to accept that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was right all along, but are spinning it to make him look wrong anyway.

The mainly left-leaning leaders of the European Union who have made a mess of Europe's affairs, including allowing over a million Arab and African migrants to pour into Europe in the past year, are now trying to ameliorate the blame directed at themselves by saying at least they're not bigoted as are those on the far right.
