Where Were The German Men During The Cologne Attacks?
[guest post by Dana]
In the aftermath of the attacks on untold numbers of women in Cologne by Muslim males and asylum seekers, I’m sure most of us have given a lot of thought to any number of issues involved with that what happened that night. As I try to understand certain aspects of it, I thought I’d throw them up in posts. If the subject matter is old news to you, please skip this post and consider this your “more below the fold” notice …
Anyway, at the risk of sounding old fashioned, and not jumping to any conclusions, note that I am simply chewing things over in my mind. Given that, as I read reports from Europe and the US about the horrible events that night, I am having trouble finding any mention of German men fighting back against the assailants. I did find this as yet unverified report from a doorman at a luxury hotel in the area. It speaks clearly to the horrific events and the utter terror these women experienced:
“Throughout the evening again and again women came to me and asked if they could just stand next to me so I could look after them. I still didn’t quite know what that was all about. They told me they were chased by these guys”.
The men who had chased the girls then attempted to attack again, but martial arts expert Jurevic was ready: “These guys that chased them, then they really tried to attack me. I’ll have to be honest, I beat them all up.
“I’ve never witnessed something like this, I always thought this stuff would be some sort of right wing propaganda. But it was real!”.
Aside from that, and the passing mention of two men who tried to protect their female companions and one’s daughter, I’m not seeing where German men came to the defense of the throngs of women being victimized that night. It’s strikes me as odd given that large numbers of women were forced to walk through gauntlets of Muslim males upon exiting the train station and elsewhere in the square:
When we came out of the station, we were very surprised by the group we met, which was made up only of foreign men … We walked through the group of men, there was a tunnel through them, we walked through … I was groped everywhere. It was a nightmare. Although we shouted and hit them, they men didn’t stop. I was horrified and I think I was touched around 100 times over the 200 metres.”
The women fought back, but were there no German men who also exited the station and saw what was happening? And if so, did they also fight against the assailants? Or did they see that they were outnumbered, and retreat? Clearly, it’s highly unlikely that there would not have been German men or male tourists in the area, given that it was New Year’s Eve, and especially as the attacks took place in the city’s main train station and the public square near it. The station was a central transit point for anyone coming from or going to a fireworks display over the Rhine and the bars and nightclubs in the heart of the city, in the shadow of its landmark cathedral.
This was not some obscure, out of the way location. It was a popular location for News Year’s Eve celebrating:
The spot, in the centre of the city, attracts thousands of people for the New Year celebrations, and the combination of crowds, alcohol and fireworks has proved problematic for police for a number of years.
So where were the German men and other male tourists during the melee and what were they doing? Because it would seem safe to assume that they would be there en masse, just like their female counterparts. And given that the majority of the women appeared to be on the young side and were planning to hit the bars and clubs and party, it would be likely the German men in attendance would also be on the young, able-bodied side. And yet, I can’t find mention of them, either being in the station, the square, or fighting to defend the women.
But, if they were on the scene and avoided getting involved, perhaps that speaks to what the “enlightened men” the mayor of Cologne referenced in an interview when she expressed shock that such inhuman practices took place that night, in light of a new generation of men who consider equality to be self-evident. Maybe the apparent absence of German men standing up to the thugs that night is precisely what this new generation of enlightened men look like. Maybe this is the end result of young men living in one the most progressive countries having been cowed and bullied their whole lives by the resident progressives and feminists demanding equality at every turn as they pushed their social constructs and successfully realigned the sexes. That is to say, perhaps the natural inclination in men to protect women has been culturally beaten out of them. If so, these enlightened young men men who consider equality self-evident no longer even resemble men.
Which then begs the question, if the above proposition has any merit, will the German men, and men elsewhere in Europe seeing these horrors unfold in their own countries, re-think their roles in light of this horrible New Year’s Eve? And perhaps even more importantly, will women let them?
p.s. Another reason they may have been afraid to get involved that night, aside from being beaten up or worse, was perhaps they were afraid of being arrested for assault against Muslim asylum seekers in a very politically correct nation whose government has already taken steps to censor speech on social media critical of Muslim immigrants and Merkel’s open-door policy.
What do you think?

Dana (86e864) — 1/10/2016 @ 3:03 pmit’s not really the muslims they should be fighting back against they’re just being who they are poor monkeys
they should be fighting back against merkel’s perversion of germany

happyfeet (831175) — 1/10/2016 @ 3:11 pmYes, but I was referring to that specific night.
Dana (df569f) — 1/10/2016 @ 3:12 pmI think it all went much better than could be expected really Dana
them muslims were primed to PARTY
a lot of frauleins (sp?) learned Valuable Life Lessons what should help them understand how in the future they should only go out in public under special circumstances
and the really nice thing is that all the publicity has helped to communicate these lessons to a lot of germans and people who may have been thinking of traveling to germany
my goodness there’s been a lot of consciousness-raising this year – and it’s not even mid-January!
happyfeet (831175) — 1/10/2016 @ 3:19 pmWell gee maybe the German men are a bunch of pussies? Who watches women be assaulted and does nothing? Pajama boys…maybe the German men were worried about messing up their hair?
John Paul Jones (9e8f8d) — 1/10/2016 @ 3:22 pmToday’s Day By Day cartoon addresses this very question with the response to “Where were the men?” the answers is, “You mean the white men?” The point being that we white men, who having been the whipping boys for every feminist, left wing, progressive and SJW out there, probably don’t feel an urgent need to come to their rescue when confronted with the problems of their own making.
I don’t concur with this, but it does illustrate that despite living the life ideal of “a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.” yet when the fecal matter hits the osculating, rotating device women suddenly want a man to go sacrifice his body to protect theirs.

It’s a fundamental tenet of Islamania that the kuffars need to feel themselves subdued. Cologne was just another step in the process. It seems to be working well for the Muslimaniacs and their fellow travelers.
I get a bit of my YV from the France24 English-language broadcasts. Anytime LePen’s “Front Nationale” enters the discussion, it its described as “the far-right National Front” yet I have never heard France’s Le Parti de Gauche, which is so aptly named on a number of levels, referred to as “the far-left”.
Whatever else one might think of these “far-right” groups which seem to be, however belatedly, coalescing across the Euro-borg, they are joining the battle and the battle is upon us.
On the down side, the Euro-borg is still very much Bat Y’eor’s Eurarbia. The supporting propaganda is applied relentlessly as it has been for more than a generation.

Steve57 (17e737) — 1/10/2016 @ 3:46 pmMy quick thought is that people/men are so used to depending on the govt to handle things that the idea to take action directly was such a foreign concept it just wasn’t seriously considered.
I mean regular people aren’t supposed to have to deal with such things, that’s why they don’t need guns, for example.
One has to have a mindset to run toward trouble, a mindset that usually needs to be cultivated, I think.
MD in Philly (not in Philly at the moment) (deca84) — 1/10/2016 @ 3:51 pm#6: JPJ, one extraordinary aspect of those events was that the police stood by and let it happen. They even released the few culprits they detained when they saw that they were opposed by a much larger, and more aggressive, group of men. The police force was a combination of men and women, and perhaps they felt their first duty was to protect their female comrades, albeit at the expense of some other females who weren’t member of their tribe.
As for the men, well, it took three Americans to thwart a mass-murder on the train to Paris. But this hasn’t happened elsewhere with men of European origin. For seventy years Germany has been beset by a collective guilt over WWII. The perpetrators of WWII atrocities are pretty much all deceased, but it has proven useful to the socialists to pass the guilt down to the grandchildren and great grandchildren of those who did the deed. Worse, few western European countries have assumed any significant responsibility for their own defense, perhaps confusing appeasement with peace earned by preparedness. They are living in a delusional dream. They are reaping what they have willingly sown.

If I were in charge of the police, I would instruct officers that in such a situation they should shoot to kill. And they should keep shooting until the mob retreats in panic. No mercy for savages.

steveg (fed1c9) — 1/10/2016 @ 4:07 pmI see it this way:
There were about 1000 Muslim men who were assembled along racial and religious/cultural lines. They maybe don’t know each other personally but identify with one another and are loosely coordinated, but clearly they had each others backs and were bold enough to attack policewomen and organized enough to keep the policemen from being able to respond.
The German men were probably loosely organized into groups of 2-5 friends that had zero to do with race, religion and for them to suddenly coalesce into a large enough group that grasps what is going on and then to breakthrough with violence would have been a stretch.
Now if it was a soccer match, everyone would be wearing scarves and other identifying gear, be walking in packs, ready for whatever.
I think from now on there will be more awareness of what men need to do, but I think the perception is that if you organize as whites based on race, you are acting like skinheads.
Of course the Dutch and German skinheads have organized, but are still probably outmanned.
We wanted the Germans to pacify after WWII except for the odd soccer riot and it looks like we all did a fine job
I think this was mentioned elsewhere…
Sean Penn had an audience with El Chapo prior to his arrest???
Do we think that El Chapo will assume Penn had nothing to do with it?
MD in Philly (not in Philly at the moment) (deca84) — 1/10/2016 @ 4:08 pmDo we think that if Penn was crazy enough to treat him respectfully that he is immune from the repercussions?
Do we think Penn or his family, even if estranged, have more to fear?
If you were part of Penn’s security team, would you quit?
#12: Doc, Mark Steyn witnessed a takeover of first-class accommodations on a train running the short distance between Copenhagen and Sweden. When he asked an official why the conductor or staff on the train didn’t intervene, he said the official replied that “he [the conductor] just wants a peaceful life.” The delusion that bad things aren’t happening unless we acknowledge them is widespread, and points to societal suicide.
The Europeans took such delight in referring to Reagan as a “cowboy”. That sums up their failure to grapple with the real world rather succinctly. They had an Iron Curtain to remind them of the dangers awaiting, but they pretended they could deal with it as Soviet strength grew and grew. Who knows, perhaps the genetic repercussion of the massive (male) casualties in the two world wars, plus the extermination of Jews and Gypsies, are just now being felt. But I doubt it. Sweden is a basket case, and they enjoyed their neutrality in both wars. The evidence suggests that is the result of an indulgence in socialism and a decline in personal responsibility, as you pointed out. These advance socialist states are characterized by a bureaucracy that pretends to deal with every human need. If you buy into this concept, then passive acceptance is the end result.

This is an example, I think, of women needing to be careful what they wish for.
Also, it’s interesting and telling that women running in fear and terror found refuge behind a guy obviously willing to jump into the fray to protect them. That didn’t seem to be the norm that night.
Further, I think American women, aside from the bitter hags and deluded young, still want and expect their men to protect them at all costs. And I believe American men, especially those here, are the type that would not only be compelled to protect their women being threatened or harmed, but also any woman in that predicament.

I originally asked in my post, “where were the hooligans?,” but took it out. Yes, if it were a soccer match, there would be a big fight, but there apparently wasn’t on New Year’s Eve. What does that say more about: that soccer is worth getting pummeled over, but women not so much? Or does it say that the hooligans are loud mouthed louts that talk a big game, fight a big fight when something important to them, like their pride, is being threatened, but women just don’t rate as high?

Thanks for pointing out the cartoon. It was good.
…despite living the life ideal of “a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.” yet when the fecal matter hits the osculating, rotating device women suddenly want a man to go sacrifice his body to protect theirs.
Also, Thresherman, I commented upthread: it’s interesting and telling that women running in fear and terror found refuge behind a guy obviously willing to jump into the fray to protect them. That didn’t seem to be the norm that night. Women want men to be re-made into their image of what a man looks like (and that image closely resembles a woman), except when they need them to be who they originally were intended to be. Fickle, fickle, fickle.
Dana (86e864) — 1/10/2016 @ 4:45 pmI think it reflects a mindset, Dana, more people are accustomed to the idea of a fight over a soccer game, something that doesn’t really matter much, but gives an outlet for Adrenalin and testosterone,

I’m saying they were not organized into “us vs. them” and instead took it as a big party where it was safe enough to attend in small fragmented groups, but it didn’t go that way.
steveg (fed1c9) — 1/10/2016 @ 4:48 pmMy guess is more than a few individuals and small groups of men tried to help and either got beaten back or simply screened off by a large crowd and were unable to be effective.
I think the young German men do need to learn from the hooligans how to repurpose some of those crowd control barricades into battering rams.

mg, it’s probably a Paulian libertarian wet dream to fantasize about stopping funding for “all countries.” The United States has interests around the world, and the notion that our interest in country X should be the same as in country Y is simply naive.
There are shipping lanes throughout the world which need to be protected. That requires certain “things” from the United States.

If the police were afraid to fight back, because they were outnumbered, you expect people who were not police to fight back?
Isn’t it enough that they escaped? Or hid? And maybe they did fight back (long enough to get away) when there was no alternative.
The police in Germany, I read, are good, or experienced, at crowd control, but nobody expected this crowd, or at least did not expect the men in that crowd, or a certain portion of the men there, to be that rowdy.
It wasn’t just sexual abuse. They were also stealing stuff. This was planned looting – with, what would be to some people, side benefits. I don’t think this was spontaneous in the least. It really was a gang.
I think there was an intelligence failure.
Sammy Finkelman (dbec95) — 1/10/2016 @ 7:37 pmWe Western men get told over and over again that women don’t want us to ride to their rescue. The latest Star Wars reinforces the point by showing a man running to rescue a woman only to have her deal with the attackers herself and then treat him with scorn for his efforts.
When people are in an emergency situation, they don’t tend to think creatively, they act out what they have seen. And what those Germane men have seen all their life is that women don’t need and don’t want their interference. Add to this the fact that the Muslims were obviously organized and the German men weren’t. If one had tried to interfere on his own, he had no reason to think anyone would help, so he would just get stomped by a mob of twenty.
Similar constraints allowed the successful hijacking of the two planes that brought down the World Trade Center. But when people on a third plane heard the news and knew that submitting would not really save them as the Establishment always taught them it would, then they fought back. And passengers on subsequent flights have shown that they learned the lesson as well. So, I’m looking forward to the next big celebration in Germany. Something tells me the young German men will be better prepared for that one.
Cugel (13ba52) — 1/10/2016 @ 7:47 pmThe assaults were a carefully laid plan.
Otherwise why just this year?
You quote a doorman saying he never saw it, so it is only this year. And you wouldn’t have had all these victims getting off at the train station for the New Year’s Eve fireworks if this had happened before. So this was indeed something new.
Why now?
Possible answers:
1) They only arrived in Germany this year. I think we can safely say that is wrong (but it is interesting how people want to spread that theory. That theory also has the twist that the government is covering upp the “fact” theat these are people that Angela Merkel welcmed this year.)
Saying that many were asylum seekers does not mean that they arrived this year. There are far too many Morrocans and Algerians involved for anything like that to be close to the truth.
2) It happened before, but has been covered up for years. Also seems to be largely not true, although there are some precedents, apparently.
3) Police were re-assigned. Maybe true, but if so, also true that some organizer saw an opportunity in that.
4) The Russians organized this. Vladimir Putin is really running a Mafia. And he thought this could be blamed on migrants and dispose the west to side with Russia more.

Do you realize that Americans are able to purchase reasonably-priced goods at Walmart because the United States Navy has long kept an eye on the traffic in the south China Seas ?
And the integrity of those shipping lanes cuts both ways–it is healthy for our economy when we safely and efficiently export goods to Asia.
The health of the American economy, as well as the health of the international economy, requires goods being safely received in Asian ports. Piracy in international waters is not a good thing. We no longer live in a pre-industrial world of the Monroe Doctrine where we can generally subsist upon the labor of artisans and craftsmen who live within 10 miles of our farm.
While winning our independence from Great Britain was a positive on the whole, we did lose the protection of the British Navy—and that soon became a huge issue.
Do a Google search of the impressing of some of our sailors by the Barbary Pirates.
Do you really believe that only “elites” wish to see healthy trade with Asia?
Reasonably-priced goods at Walmart benefits the every day lives of working-class and lower-class Americans much more than it does the Bushes and Trumps.
The prospect of lucrative international trade often inspires closed, totalitarian societies to open up.
And although Obama completely screwed up the Iran deal, the pre-existing economic sanctions on Iran were effective precisely because Iran had been engaging in international trade. In fact, OPEC is killing Iran right now by depressing its supply of oil to the world market. And guess what that does to Iranian oil exports.
When Nixon opened up relations with China, China’s burgeoning economic incentives moved it more toward capitalism and democracy.
By the same token, look at North Korea. It is a completely closed society. And there’s little leverage that the international community can implement against that regime simply because they don’t engage in very much international trade.
Your lack of interest in maintaining the integrity of international shipping lanes places you more in line with Obama. He doesn’t seem to care too much about China’s aggression in the south China Seas, either.

64. narciso (732bc0) — 1/10/2016 @ 7:53 pm yes it was a raiding party, well within their customs, the Barbary Pirates specialized in this, and weren’t some from North Africa, It’s too many years = about 180 – for this to be connected to the Barbary pirates, and too many even through literature. The Medieval Vikings would have about as much to do with this.
A raiding party is maybe a good word for this, because it didn’t just happen, except that, unlike that kind of raiding party, these people didn’t have their homes far away, but in an isolated mostly segregated section of the city or environs. All these people had been around Cologne for several years at least by now, and were committing petty and not so petty crimes, and they had probably originally met in German jails. (Good idea: confining criminals together. NOT!)
Somebody organized this thing, complete with plans (maybe pre-existing) to dispose of the stolen goods.
Western Europe, and much of western civilization, since the early to mid Twentieth Century, lacks proper antibodies against crime, so if it goes up for any reason at all, there’s not enough to stop it from getting worse and worse.
It’s lack of punishment of juveniles and removal of other sanctions, but another important thing also that makes things worse is failure to increase the budget when something starts going wrong.
Government doesn’t have too much trouble wasting money – but that’s planned and lobbied for spending. It has a lot of trouble increasing spending when it’s needed to prevent some kind of deterioration in living conditions, except maybe when the need doubles or triples in one year.
Instead, it prioritizes.

The British were horrified by their WWI casualties. We visited Ypres last September. There is an arch, like a smaller Arc du Triumph, that commemorates those dead who could not be found after the battles. There are 57,000 names on the arch.
Eventually, the British fought inspired by Churchill who was a Victorian gentlemen. There are none left of that stomach, as Victorians might say. There are few Germans who would be willing to fight when the odds are against them. There were 154 policemen in that square New Years Eve. A few days later 1500 policemen with water cannons were available to punish demonstrators against the Muslim “immigrants.”
The Gates of Vienna were opened by German elites who have bodyguards.

The issue of safe shipping lanes in the south China Seas (and elsewhere, such as where Somali pirates roam) is a totally different question than the question of American contractors using low-end drywall imported from China.
By the way, the American farmer feeds the world with exported grain and other agricultural products. That’s a big plus to our economy. By protecting the integrity of shipping lanes, we’re protecting American interests.
I really don’t understand your way of characterizing the shipping lanes as singularly belonging to “big business” or “the chamber of commerce.” All sorts of small “mom & pop” businesses throughout America import foreign goods which end up on their shelves. And all sorts of small manufacturers throughout America export goods to foreign markets. International trade benefits consumers, whether they’re rich, poor, or middle class.

Wyowanderer (10a759) — 1/11/2016 @ 9:46 amWomen, especially white women leading the charge for “equal rights” have since the late 60s seen their path to freedom from traditional roles and advancement in the professions as one which requires blocking more qualified men from the opportunity to compete for open positions.
Affirmative Action was then and remains now essentially a mask for enforcing quota systems which opened the doors to both women and minorities by slamming those same doors in the face of generations of white men.
White women wanted “equality” and they got it. Women presidents of universities, women running police forces, women in combat, women as CEOs of major corporations, women at Commanders-in-Chief, women as the powerful political leaders of nations.
Women who must be believed, women who demand taxpayers pay for their abortions – birth control pills – and psychological care, women who are above the law.
Now, when the chickens of arrognce have come home to roost and the Muslim wolves are on the doorstep these entitled women wonder where the men are who will protect them? Ask Godot.

I interview and examine military recruits for all services. The girls who are volunteering are mostly interested in clerical and other non-combat jobs and are often well qualified for them. The pressure for combat arms is coming from female officers who feel they need a fake combat arm ticket punch to climb the rank structure.
Some women have done well as pilots. Martha McSally was an A 10 pilot and the first US female combat pilot. She also was the one who fought the Saudi burka rules and won.
She is now in Congress as a GOP rep from Arizona.
I don’t think anyone seriously expects women to serve in real ground combat. There was one female MP sergeant who did well in a firefight. She was in a convoy that was ambushed and did very well but she was not infantry.
While assigned to the 617th Military Police Company, a Kentucky Army National Guard unit out of Richmond, Kentucky, Hester received the Silver Star for her actions on 20 March 2005 during an enemy ambush on a supply convoy near the town of Salman Pak, Iraq.[5] Hester enlisted in the U.S. Army in April 2001 and is the first female U.S. Army soldier to receive the silver star since World War II and the first ever to be cited for valor in close quarters combat.[6]
She is definitely a badass but wasn’t trying to hump 70 pound packs.
Mike K (90dfdc) — 1/11/2016 @ 11:09 amI agree completely, Mike K.,
From my outside looking in the problem with this is that I assume they will have to lower standards for more than a very few women to get in.
I don’t know the details, maybe the SJM behind this will allow some sort of two tiered system, where people who will have combat roles have the same standards that have existed.
I am sure there are some women of great physical skill and mental determination who can accomplish much in the military,

I’m not sure this is valid but there may be pushback coming.
“They’re saying we are not going to change any standards,” Kelly told reporters at the Pentagon. “There will be great pressure, whether it’s 12 months from now, four years from now, because the question will be asked whether we’ve let women into these other roles, why aren’t they staying in those other roles? Why aren’t they advancing as infantry people?”

Mike K (90dfdc) — 1/11/2016 @ 11:30 amDoc, the gender neutral Marine boot camp is a cunningly crafted response to the Democrat’s evaluation of their principal enemy. Who is, of course, the gender neutral, or more accurately, the neutered, Republican Party. They must be planning to fight fire with fire, so to speak. Perhaps deploying these storm troopers in a siege of the Capitol Building.
Howard Kurtz, of Fox News, wrote an article today about the response of “elite” Republicans in D. C. to Trump. It is amazing how many prominent high level operatives from the Bush presidency are connected with the dark side of the force in D. C. I’d never heard of Michael Gerson (“Bush White House official” now working for WaPo) or Doug Heye (“communications chief of the RNC, a top deputy to Eric Cantor and a Bush administration official”), but with characters like this whispering in George II’s ear, it’s no wonder the Republican Party collapsed in 2006.
Steyn had this to say about a Trump rally he attended in Vermont. Note that Steyn’s take on a lot of the outrageous statements the press attributes to Trump are nothing more than a standup comedian’s adlib, said for the purpose of topical humor to please his audience. But most importantly, Trump is actually responding to the audience, and not just repeating ad nauseam the carefully crafted- and targeted messages created by a team of neutered stooges along the lines of Gerson and Heye.
There was a telling photo of O’Malley at a campaign event in New Hampshire where only one person showed up. I wonder if O’Malley went off script and had an honest conversation with the guy, or if the guy had to listen to an hour of campaign consultant tested verbal bumper stickers. Since the guy said he was undecided after the encounter, I suspect it was the latter. I have a hunch Trump has enough self confidence to act naturally and deal with such a fellow on a conversational basis. And this makes the D. C. consultants irrelevant. Cruz has this ability to deal with individuals on free wheeling, one-on-one basis (or two, but they were Code Pink troglodites), which is one reason the “elite” consultants fear him.

creeper (50825a) — 1/11/2016 @ 11:37 amWhere were all the Germans, male and female, when 12 million people were exterminated in concentration camps?
This is not due to feminism and it’s not due to the counter-culture, sexual revolution, “Ooh, I Need A Dirty Woman” ethos. It’s due to the fact that Germans are oxen. They are only good when harnessed and prodded. When put in uniforms, lined up, and given orders by a “Leader”. Without orders, they will continue to chew their cud placidly or mill around puzzledly. Somebody said that German men sit down when they pee. Well, they do — their government-approved toilets have shelves that make the urine splatter all over the place if you try to urinate standing. They require license plates for bicycles, for crying out loud! The German “men” did not come to the defense of Aryan womanhood because nobody told them to do it and therefore they were not sure that it would be the right thing to do. It’s that simple.
(I am assuming that the horrible sexual assaults were even noticed.)
nk (dbc370) — 1/11/2016 @ 11:49 amGerman authorities use WWII as a cudgel just as American authorities do slavery.

creeper (50825a) — 1/11/2016 @ 11:50 amRE: Begs the question. From Wikipedia …
Since the original meaning of begs the question came from “a mistranslation of the Latin petitio principii, which actually translates as “assuming the initial point” … Dana is just employing the modern usage which was clear from the context.
BobStewartatHome (a52abe) — 1/11/2016 @ 12:06 pmnk, I’d agree with you if you substitute “socialist” for “German”. Beginning with Bismarck’s pensions, modern man of all origins and races has willingly traded his freedom for a false security. The Swiss had a reputation similar to that of your Germans prior to their happy divergence from the European mainstream in the 19th century. All those warring countries needed an honest broker. One interesting aspect of our financial situation is that the foreseeable collapse of our social security system might lead the government to engage in some form of warfare if only to create the “crisis” out of which a modified Ponzi scheme can emerge.
We had a Republic …
BobStewartatHome (a52abe) — 1/11/2016 @ 12:16 pmAnd by “false security”, I mean both those 55,000 killed a Ypres whose bodies and parts could not be identified, and the other 6 million slaughtered all over the Globe. None of whom ever collected on their pension, from any country. In fact, the Americans from WWI who sought an early payout for their “pensions”, earned in the Great War (to End All Wars,) were shot and bayoneted by MacArthur. So unlike private insurance companies, and sellers of annuities, the government can be a very merciless master when it needs to be.
BobStewartatHome (a52abe) — 1/11/2016 @ 12:24 pmBob, even when they were fighting the Romans, the Germanics had a stratified social structure. The chieftain and his housecarls, supreme ruler; the second rank of nobles; the commoners; and the thralls. (Roughly, I derived this from military histories.) If modern ideas like democracy or socialism changed anything about 2,000 years of feudalism it would be elevating some lowborns to positions of leadership and you know what Agur had to say about that:
…21Under three things the earth quakes, And under four, it cannot bear up: 22Under a slave when he becomes king, And a fool when he is satisfied with food, 23Under an unloved woman when she gets a husband, And a maidservant when she supplants her mistress.…
nk (dbc370) — 1/11/2016 @ 12:42 pmThe Germans seem to keep their aggressiveness for the autobahn and leave the rest at home.
There seems to be a self segregation going on in England, where the prosperous whites are moving to the southeast coast. I was there in September where our friends invited us for a long weekend at their home. Our host commented that the “only brown face we would see in the city would be an NHS doctor.” We found this to be true. London looks very different.
I think the Germans have bought themselves a decade of trouble, at the minimum. Sweden may be lost unless enough Muslims freeze to death.
Mike K (90dfdc) — 1/11/2016 @ 12:48 pmnk, I am reluctant to agree with your characterization that Germans are oxen. (And my horse is in another race entirely.) In WWII, the German army trained its junior officers and non-coms to act independently and with imagination. I think I experienced a watered-down version of some of their training exercises while “undergoing instruction” in the CG’s OCS. It is my understanding that the German’s gave orders that expressed goals and not methods. And this was a departure from the policies in other European armies. Particularly the Soviet army which did treat its men as oxen. In the war with Finland, about 35,000 Soviet troops perished trying a mid-winter frontal assault against 5,000 hunters. The Soviets were clad in dark coats that were inadequate for the freezing conditions, while the Finns were in white camouflage. The Finns could shoot accurately. The political commissars herded the Soviet troops at gunpoint to their deaths. I suspect as many died from pistol shots in the back as from rifle fire from the Finns.
My life experience is that humans can be trained to understand and perform almost anything, given the time, the correct instruction, and a willingness to accept the training. I don’t think race or country of origin has much to do with this, except for the final point, the willingness to learn. In our country we have raised two generations of kids where a substantial portion have been indoctrinated to believe that they are entitled to whatever they want. They can be extremely difficult to teach, particularly since their parents reinforce their indoctrination. But one on one, most of these difficult kids can be reasoned with, and I suspect that as life grabs them by the throat, they will eventually become more interested in learning. But many will choose to simply deepen their indoctrination, perhaps as muslim converts in a Federal prison.
You get what you pay for. We’ve paid ignoramus’s and political activists to “care” for and “teach” our kids. Oxen might be a good term for the product of our negligence.

Merkel reminds me of the various Republicans or quasi-conservatives (call them “country-club conservatives”) who are no less foolish than their leftwing counterparts are (call them “limousine liberals”) when it comes to the meaning or dynamics of the phrase “demographics is destiny.”

Furthermore, the intelligence gathering was poor and they had no rapid response team if indeed this was posted all over Facebook and social media.
Finally, those going around at midnight are not the chavs and their ilk. There will be more and more of them showing up though in places where they can get a scrum on and get society’s approval. Expect to see LOTS of “Stolz un Frei” flags and tattoos in the news in the new year.

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 1/11/2016 @ 6:01 pmSF: Tolerating a criminal mentality for three years or more
Definitely more. Re-reading this more carefully, I see that that ex-policeman says that a migrant crime gang was operating there with impunity at the main train station in Cologne for the last 3 of his 11 years on the police force. He can only speak about what was going on then, but it sounds like, from the words that are used, that at the start of his 3 years, this was already the case there.
He’s an ex-policeman – this news article doesn’t say when he left – so that is another thing that adds more time, too. Definitely carrying this back to before December, 2012.
There are a lot of facts that aren’t coming through very well. I don’t think you can easily trust anything, and you must assume there are a bunch of missing facts here.
There is now an official report about the events. They never called for back-up. I can think of another thing they didn’t do: Warn people to stay away, or keep the trains from stopping there.
They couldn’t handle it, but they were also not acknowledging, even to themselves, or maybe especially to themselves, and their superiors, that something unusual was going on there, and each complaint was not something totally unrelated to what went on before. Every particular report was treated as something unique and unpredictable. Who knows if the police were even filing any complaints they received?
I don’t know the size of the crowd. Maybe only 5% to 10% of the people there were being victimized -or maybe even only 2% or 3%, so it could seem that things were, generally speaking, normal there.
