EUROPEAN NEWS European civilization is at great risk and the process sped up in recent years – Douglas Murray

By VOICE OF EUROPE 29 December 2018

Capture

Interviewed by Echo TV, British author and journalist Douglas Murray warned again about the future of European civilization.

“I think that our future is at risk. It is obvious, and this process has been going on for a very long time, and it just sped up in recent years.

“And, I think it has come about more in the absence of mind, in the absence of preparedness, than as a part of a bigger plan. Our civilisation is at great risk,” the author of The Strange Death of Europe said.

Douglas says that although a lot of writers disagree with his conclusions about Europe’s future, it’s his task to write the truth.

“My view is that the general public is like me. They are able to see things with their own eyes. They do not need to be told what they should be seeing, because they open their eyes and they can see.

“There are some people who would like to stop that and they would like us to not see things. Nevertheless, I think that the general public and I are able to say honestly what we see,” he says.

According to Douglas, Western Europe made a “colossal mistake” by inviting guest labourers since the 1950s.

“Since the 1950s, Western European countries, from Germany to other places, have been inviting guest laborers in order to rebuild their societies after the Second World War. In my book I show that they did not fully understand this process.

“For example, in her 2010 Potsdam speech, Angela Merkel said that they had thought that the guest laborers would eventually go home.

“Now, I have to say that it is very unlikely that a person who came from a very poor country would return to his or her country of origin after having experienced life in a rich country. As I said, even Angela Merkel admitted that they were wrong to believe that, and Western European societies had to catch up in this regard.

“For example, they had to face that entire families would immigrate and that a chain of migration would start.”

Suspected Bombing In Swedish Town

See the source image

By DAN LYMAN

Swedish police are investigating a Christmas morning explosion at an apartment building in Gislaved as a targeted bombing and attempted murder, according to local media.

Authorities arrived on the scene of a strong blast in the locality of Anderstorp, located roughly 80 miles southeast of Gothenburg, SVT Nyheter reports.

“There are parts of the wall that are clearly damaged, so it was a more powerful detonation,” said police spokesman Thomas Agnevik. “There were people in the house. Exactly how many, I don’t know. I only have information that they should be unharmed.”

Forensics specialists and bomb technicians are investigating the damage and collecting evidence and testimonials from neighbors, but no suspects have been identified.

“The case is classified as attempted murder,” a police report reads. “There is still no suspect. The event is judged to be aimed at a specific person.”

Sweden has seen an escalation in explosions and bombings in recent years.

“Sweden may be known for its popular music, IKEA and a generous welfare state. It is also increasingly associated with a rising number of Islamic State recruits, bombings and hand grenade attacks,” Politico reported in April, 2018.

Weeks ago, Malmö was the scene of multiple explosions in a single night, and in early 2018, the city was rocked by at least five detonations in the span of two weeks.

Acid Attacks Rock London

by DAN LYMAN DECEMBER 28, 2018

Two victims were hospitalized in separate acid attacks in London on the same day.

A 21-year-old man was brought to hospital after an assault in northeast London that also left him with cuts to his hands, presumably inflicted by a knife, according to police.

“Officers attended and found a 21-year-old man who had been assaulted, with a corrosive substance thrown over his face,” Metropolitan police said.

“The man has been taken to an east London hospital. His injuries are not being treated as life-threatening or life-changing.”

No suspects have been apprehended at the time of this writing.

Hours later, a 29-year-old man was rushed to hospital after a burning liquid was thrown on him in Tower Hamlets, London.

“We’re dealing with an incident at around 5.40pm in which a substance, believed to be ammonia, was thrown at a 29-yr-old man in the area of Roman Rd, E3,” Tower Hamlets police tweeted. “The victim was taken to hospital. Thankfully we understand injuries are not serious. Investigation is underway; no arrest yet.”

London is now considered the “acid attack capital of the world” after a six-fold increaseof the barbaric practice since 2012, and over 2,000 such attacks in the last three years alone.

Swedish Journo Disillusioned After Witnessing ‘Most Feminist Place On Earth’ Ignore Migrants’ Sex Assaults

By Chris Menahan
InformationLiberation

A female Swedish journalist became disillusioned with her country after witnessing how “in a country that claims to be one of the most feminist places on earth” the media couldn’t care less about reports of Middle Eastern migrants sexually assaulting women en masse at a music festival in 2015.

From The Guardian, “Sweden’s Dark Soul by Kajsa Norman review – ‘far from a utopia'”:

Sweden is proud of its reputation for being one of the world’s most progressive and egalitarian nations, and for a long time Kajsa Norman thought that its main defect was being rather “boring”. As an investigative journalist, she preferred more challenging environments, such as Zimbabwe. But while abroad she heard of an incident in Sweden “so disturbing and strange” that she felt compelled to investigate. What she found shook her faith in her country.

The annual We Are Sthlm music festival attracts some 200,000 people, mostly aged between 13 and 19, to Kungsträdgården Park in central Stockholm. On a balmy evening in August 2015, a middle-aged psychologist, whom the author calls Hans, as he wishes to remain anonymous, took his teenage relatives to the festival. As twilight fell, he noticed how groups of men and boys appeared and began “eyeing the young girls in hot pants”. During the evening he saw girl after girl stagger out from the crowd to ask for help from the security guards after being sexually assaulted.

Afterwards Hans was haunted by the memory of “watching packs of predators hunt helpless prey”, and was shocked that nothing appeared in the press the next day. When he emailed the Dagens Nyheter newspaper, a journalist called him. Although she sounded interested, when he mentioned that “the vast majority” of the perpetrators “appeared to be Afghans”, her tone became “noticeably colder”. No article appeared, leaving Hans angry that “in a country that claims to be one of the most feminist places on earth”, no one cared.

[…] This hard-hitting book is permeated by a deep sense of disillusionment. Norman argues that in its quest to achieve an ideal society, Sweden has created a culture of conformism that suppresses inconvenient truths and breeds moral cowardice. Her book (“Sweden’s Dark Soul“) is a plea for more honesty and openness: “Swedish society is far from a pluralistic utopia.”

It’s really sick the way the lying media exploits what’s best in us — our desire to help and trust others as though they’re one of our kin — to get us to surrender to globalism.

Norman’s last book, “Bridge Over Blood River,” published first in Swedish in 2015, despite coming from a liberal perspective, apparently gave a fair shake to Afrikaners who believe they’re going extinct in post-apartheid South Africa.

One of the reviews on Amazon says she let the Afrikaners speak and it was “very different from the usual hatchet jobs.”

BREAKING: Austrian church attacked and religious monks taken hostage – Five seriously injured

By VOICE OF EUROPE 27 December 2018

Updated 19:17 GMT

On Thursday, two strangers stormed a Catholic Church in Vienna Austria and attacked and took hostage several monks, newspaper Krone reports.

The men tied up and robbed the monks in a brutal attack. As a result at least five victims are seriously injured.

Afterwards, the suspects fled the scene. The victims were discovered around 4:15 pm and had already been tied up for several hours.

The two perpetrators attacked the church around 1:30 pm. According to Russia Today:

“Police have confirmed that five people, all of them monks, were injured in the attack. One monk suffered serious injuries. A 68-year-old monk was at the premises of the church when the robbers broke in. They threatened the man with a firearm and forced him to lie on the ground.

“The perpetrators then hit him and trampled upon him, inflicting serious head injuries, the Austrian Kronen Zeitung reports. Four more monks, who arrived at the church later, were also attacked and injured, police spokesman Harald Soeroes told Kronen Zeitung.

“The suspects are still on the run, their identities unknown. Soeroes described one of the suspects as a 5.9-feet tall man with dark hair. “Both men speak German and have a foreign accent,” the police spokesman said.”

A Huge police operation started immediately and a Cobra helicopter is circling the area. The area between Langenzersdorferstraße, Anton-Böck-Straße and Krottenhofgasse was cordoned off in a large scale operation. “Please avoid the restricted area and let our colleagues work locally,” the police warned via Twitter.

Capture

Currently, according to the investigators there is no suspicion of terrorism, but the exact motive is still unknown. However, according to reports, one of the perpetrators has been behaving suspiciously for days around the church.

Police special forces of WEGA and tactical unit Cobra have come into action.

“According to the currently available information, all the people injured as a result of the attack by unknown persons are staff of the Catholic church. The preliminary information indicates that it was a robbery. We are checking whether there are Russian citizens among those injured,” the embassy’s spokesman Bulat Haydarov told Sputnik.

Short sentence and no deportation for migrant who raped Swedish woman on cruise ship

By EMMA R. 27 December 2018

Capture

A rape was committed on board the Tallink cruise ship Baltic Queen on 17 February. A 25-year-old African man has been convicted – but received a severely reduced sentence – since he was fired as a trainee teacher because of the crime.

The man made a pass at the sisters on several occasions during the night. When the sisters had gone to bed, he managed to persuade a maid who did not speak Swedish to unlock their cabin door.

In there, he undressed and laid down behind one sister. The woman woke up in the midst of the rape. She managed to throw him out of the cabin by opening the door and screaming “Out! Out! “.

Surveillance footage shows how the African nonchalantly buttons his shirt in the corridor after the rape.

The victim then called her mother and went to the information desk to find out how and why a foreign man had been given access to her locked cabin.

When the ship arrived at the port, she was met by a police officer and taken to a hospital. The African has been granted a Swedish citizenship and can therefore not be expelled to Africa.

He was sentenced to only one year and nine months in prison – even though the minimum penalty for rape is 2 years in prison.

The reason is that he stated that because of the rape “he will find it difficult to obtain a position as a teacher and that he has already been dismissed from his internship because of the crime”.

Finland to Start Imprisoning Illegal Migrants

By Ben Warren

Finland has created a new law allowing the imprisonment of illegal migrants.

The law specifically targets migrants who enter the country after they were given an “entry ban,” according to the Finnish Ministry of Justice.

“The President of the Republic today adopted amendments to the law by which a new provision on violation of the ban on entry is added,” said the Ministry. “To date, violation of the prohibition has generally led to fines for foreigners offenses.”

“In the future, the punishment for breach of the ban shall be fines or imprisonment for a maximum of one year.”

Additionally, the law is effective at the start of 2019 and authorities expect it to discourage further illegal movement into the country.

This legal maneuver against the surge of migrants comes after Finland’s Immigration Service (Migri) admitted they couldn’t identify almost half of the migrants applying for asylum.

“People who are fleeing do not have the possibility of leaving with the required documents in their pockets,” said a Migri official. “Some of them come from countries that don’t even have passport systems.”

Correspondingly, it is unclear if the country has enough prison space to honor the new law as Migri is on record demanding more funding to construct additional facilities for migrants.

SOUTHERN EUROPE Italian Minister tells NGO Italy doesn’t want migrants: “Our ports are closed!”

By LAURA CAT 22 December 2018

Italy’s populist Interior Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini announces that Italian ports are CLOSED.

The migrants were picked up from Libya intending to go to Malta but were turned away from Malta so the NGO Proactiva Open Arms requested to be allowed entry to Italy.

Salvini replied: “My answer is clear: Italian ports are closed!” Mr Salvini tweeted. “For the traffickers of human beings and for those who help them, the fun is over.”

This sparked anger in the human trafficking NGO who replied on twitter: “We continue with 311 people on board, without port and in need of supplies,” saying that they had rescued more than 300 migrants from three vessels in difficulty, including men, women, children and babies.

Committing the logical fallacy of appealing to emotions, they went on to say:

“If you could feel the cold in the images, it would be easier to understand the emergency. No port to disembark and Malta’s refusal to give us food. This isn’t Christmas.” An odd thing to say given the majority of the migrants are of the Islamic faith, thereby not celebrating Christmas anyway.

Tweeting further to Matteo, Open Arms’ founder Oscar Camps went onto say that “your rhetoric and your message will, like everything in this life, end. But you should know that in a few decades your descendants will be ashamed of what you do and say.”

Many countries are showing opposition to the economic migrants paying a high financial cost to be brought by human traffickers when real refugees can’t afford to and are left behind in their countries.

German minister who said “Happy Ramadan”, omits Merry Christmas on official Christmas card

By LAURA CAT 21 December 2018

’Frohe Weihnachten’, which is German for ‘Merry Christmas’, is the traditional greeting heard all throughout Germany.

Strangely, that was omitted from an official Christmas card from Annette Widmann-Mauz, Germany’s Minister for Migration, Refugees and Integration.

There was a photograph of the minister with several employees and included a Christmas tree in the background. However, otherwise it was a relatively un-festive card.

The card’s message, “No matter what you believe in, we wish you a contemplating time and a good start of the New Year,” was cause for criticism.

In Germany, Christmas is traditionally the largest holiday, so it seems amiss that Widmann-Mauz would omit Christmas from the official card.

Especially when she has congratulated other faiths on their holidays and didn’t miss wishing a happy Ramadan to those of the Muslim faith.

‘Possible suicide attempt’: Car rams into crowded bus stop in Germany leaving 1 dead & 9 injured

âPossible suicide attemptâ: Car rams into crowded bus stop in Germany leaving 1 dead & 9 injured

A woman was killed and nine other people were seriously injured as a car rammed into a group of commuters waiting for a bus in the western German town of Recklinghausen. Police say the driver might have attempted suicide.

A passenger car suddenly strayed into the oncoming lane and plowed through the people at a crowded bus stop midday on Thursday, the witnesses said, describing the scene as “chaotic.”

Ten people were taken to hospital in serious condition, with one woman later succumbing to her injuries.

Capture

The police believe that the collision was intentional, with spokeswoman, Ramona Hörst, saying that were “first indications of a possible suicide attempt by the man.”

The driver survived the crash and was released from his wrecked car by the firefighters. According to other reports, the man wasn’t trapped in the vehicle.

The incident comes in wake of a string of ramming attacks in Europe, with radicalized assailants using vehicles to target civilians in France, Spain, Sweden, and other countries.

Germany saw its deadliest vehicle attack in December 2016. Twelve people lost their lives and 56 others were wounded when a Tunisian national plowed his truck through a Christmas market in central Berlin.
