Immigration

The DW Arabic-language channel is available across most of Europe beginning December 15, 2015

How timely. Wonder how long this has been in the works? Germany's state broadcaster aimed at an international audience is making it clear it thinks Arabs are in Europe to stay. The new channel will begin broadcasting tomorrow, December 15th.

The ostensible purpose is to help Arabic-speaking migrants learn what they need to know about Germany, in their own language. According to DW, the information is designed to help refugees deal with everyday life and visits to German administrative authorities, to find job opportunites and to learn German. The channel will transmit German language courses in television format.

Tatjana Festerling gives another powerful speech in defense of the German heart and soul.

From The Epoch Times, Dec. 14, 2015:

The motto of the demonstration is currently aimed against the  deployment of the Bundeswehr to Syria.

Pegida holds the refugee crisis to be a political conspiracy to destabilize Germany and the EU nations, based on publicly known US military doctrines. Lately, Pegida criticized the Syria-deployment of the Bundeswehr.

Pegida had said from the outset in their demands that war refugees must be given temporary protection. They are opposed to the admission of economic refugees and have a zero-tolerance policy towards asylum seekers and criminal extremists whose immediate expulsion it asks.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel serves the same global economic God and offers up the German people as a sacrifice to this God. The "left" parties help her as  she aligns more and more with them.

A Syrian in Germany: “No, I did not flee. None of us had to flee …

“I come from Damascus, like most of us [refugees] do that I’ve met in the camp. There is no IS [in Damascus]; it is in other regions, for example, towards Iraq.”

“My friends and I [came] because we didn’t want to go to the army. And because it is easier to get a good job and earn money in Europe …

“In the summer we saw on the Internet that Germany wanted people to live there. We were invited to come here. And it was said that the state would take care of us and we would be given jobs. But I cannot find one…”

Islamic kindergarten in Vienna, Austria, government funded of course. Some ask the question: Why? But that's only part of the problem.

What else would you expect? Here are just three recent stories.

In Vienna's Islamic kindergartens, subsidies worth millions were apparently embezzled. The office is investigating a man behind several support teams. The controversy over the Muslim Kitas has taken on a completely different dimension.

“FORMAT” reports that Abdullah P. has controlled kindergarten associations and created strawman reports to gain unwarranted funding. Specifically, there is a suspicion of fraud, misuse of aid and falsification of tax office documents . "The state police commissioned surveys," says Thomas Vecsey, spokesman for the Vienna prosecutor's office, to "FORMAT".

To gain access to the funding, so-called public utility receipts were forged. These confirmations are issued by the tax office for associations. They are a precondition for the disbursement of stimulus funding and other kindergarten subsidies by the City of Vienna. According to FORMAT exclusively, the total estimated damage presently is for an amount in the euro seven-figure range.

The scene in the Theaterplatz on the evening of December 7, 2015.

It is good weather in Dresden - windless and ten degrees plus. Christmas music plays. The visit of Belgians is not only from the two guest speakers, Filip Dewinter and Anke van Dermeersch of the Party “Vlaams Belang”. There is also seen a "We are the people" banner in Flemish.

6:45 Lutz Bachmann opened the rally:

"First of all, warm greetings to our patriotic brothers and sisters in France," he congratulates Marine Le Pen and the National Front for their "historic victory". That was a very clear signal, and the German press is foaming with rage. Therefore, the Front National will now be reviled - and with it their voters. This "30 percent of our neighbors occupied by right-wing" would now be labeled "right-wing". The ARD  had managed eleven times to accommodate the word right-wing in a three-minute report. "But there's the brown mob of the week!" said Bachmann.

 Notice all the umbrellas opened up on this November 30th evening in Dresden.

The dark season is upon us, but this doesn't deter the Pegida  protestors in Dresden. They came out again in force and in high spirits, in spite of the rain, to hear Lutz Bachmann and Siegfried Doebritz, and two guests: Tommy Robinson from the UK and theologian Ernst Krahn from Nürnberg. But mostly they came out just to show their steadfastness in support for their cause: A peaceful, free Germany of Germans.

Tommy Robinson spoke in English while Lutz Bachmann translated into German sentence by sentence. He spoke of the inspiration Pegida has been and announced a sister movement made up of all Europe, plus Britain and Australia beginning on Saturday, February 6, 2016. [Full disclosure: I'm not fond of Tommy Robinson and am sorry to see him get a role in this movement. Well, where there's a vacuum, you know ...]

300 migrants went off on each other at Tempelhof Airport outside Berlin. There were violent incidents in Kreuzberg and Hakenfelde (Spandau) also, requiring hundreds of police to bring order.

Two bloody incidents in Berlin refugee camps broke out on Sunday requiring police operations.
► At 2 o'clock in the afternoon at Tempelhof Airport (Hangar 3): 120 policemen separated and subdued 300 refugees who were taking part in a mass brawl!

An Emnid poll conducted for the "Bild am Sonntag"  released today shows that 48 percent of respondents were against a fourth term for Angela Merkel; only 44 percent want another Merkel candidacy in the general election of 2017. The rest have no opinion.

Because of the influx of a million refugees this year alone, it is surprising to me that only 52 percent of respondents to the survey expressed that they worried about the country's future. And that as many as 44 percent of respondents said they were not alarmed.

Among the worried are more East Germans (59 percent) than West Germans (51 percent) and more women (59 percent) than men (45 percent). 48 percent of respondents believe that Germany will change for the worse due to immigration

At 6:30 in the evening, German time, the Dresden Theaterplatz fills up, with carols playing over the loudspeakers, such as "Jingle bells, Dingalingaling." On an LED screen it reads: "We are not a stage for xenophobia."

At 6:42 the Pegida anthem resounds. In the past few weeks, observers at the demo say there are at least 25,000 people on the street. The police will not give an official figure anymore. Today's speakers will be Siegfried Daebritz and Lutz Bachmann. Tatyana Festerling will not speak, but a short video by her in front of the Berlin Chancellery was shown to the crowd.
