Clashes errupt with migrants in Bautzen
In a repeat of scenes which played out there two months ago, inhabitants that are fed up with the German government's lax policy on migrants in the eastern German city of Bautzen this week, decided to teach them a lesson.
Published: November 3, 2016, 8:24 am
The hill-top town in eastern Saxony, Germany, and administrative centre of the eponymous district, saw scores of migrants fleeing for safety from angry Germans. Police were out in force at the time of the confrontation but only acted when the refugees ran to the city’s Holzmarkt, crowding the square.
Bautzen and the nearby town of Niedergurig are home to no less than four asylum shelters.
With existing shelters filled to capacity, federal, state and local authorities are discarding legal questions to make room for the newcomers. German taxpayers are also being obliged to make colossal economic sacrifices to accommodate the influx of migrants, many of whom have no prospect of ever finding a job.
The town has had a nightly curfew for unaccompanied minors since the violent events of mid-September when inhabitants chased trouble makers breaking the curfew from the streets after the foreigners started hurling insults at Germans in a main square, the Daily Mail reported. The foreigners were escorted back to their hostel and put under police guard.
The previous clashes appeared to be triggered by an incident when a 32-year-old resident was hurt by a bottle being thrown, the BBC said. The young asylum seekers was then slapped with an alcohol ban and a 19:00 curfew.
This time inhabitants chased migrants in their cars and bikes. One of the asylum seekers was hit by a bicycle ridden by one of his pursuers and suffered a small cut. Leftists have fumed at the “right-wingers” and “neo-Nazi’s” chasing the unwanted foreigners back to their lodgings.
As in the previous incident, the confrontation escalated after both groups started exchanging verbal insults, with the foreigners apparently under the impression that they have some kind of immunity when openly taunting the town’s people and ignoring laws.
The incident has highlighted once again the seething resentment that ordinary Germans feel towards chancellor Angela Merkel and the elite for flooding the country with foreigners who are spread out in accommodation centres, often confiscated property turned into housing for the hordes.
In February, a cheering crowd was seen outside a burning asylum-seeker shelter in Bautzen, clapping and shouting: “Good, that’s up in flames.”
That same weekend, a video emerged of inhabitants preventing refugees from getting of the bus to get to another shelter in Clausnitz. Germany recorded more than 1 000 attacks on asylum shelters last year, a five-fold increase from 2014.
Bautzen mayor Alexander Ahrens met members of right-wing groups in October in a bid to try and assuage their desire for law and order.
Earlier, in March, when open-border enthusiast President Joachim Gauck visited Bautzen to remind the inhabitants that the influx of refugees in Germany was an “opportunity”, he was verbally abused. Many other open-border enthusiasts have received the same treatment.
Bautzen is 60km east of Dresden, where the anti-migrant Pegida movement began.
Germany’s federal police force says there have been 700 attacks on asylum accommodation this year, including 57 arson attacks. These arson attacks mainly happen because the of the German government’s forceful and very unpopular policy regarding housing.
Hamburg city officials for example are forcing owners of vacant real estate who have refused to make their property available to the city on a voluntary basis for migrant housing, to sell.
“The proposed confiscation of private land and buildings is a massive attack on the property rights of the citizens of Hamburg. It amounts to an expropriation by the state [and a] “law of intimidation,” said André Trepoll, from the Christian Democratic Union.
“If a property is confiscated… a lawsuit to determine the legality of the confiscation can only be resolved after the fact. But the accommodation would succeed in any event,” Tübingen Mayor Boris Palmer told furious citizens.
Officials in North Rhine-Westphalia seized a private resort in the town of Olpe to provide housing for up to 400 migrants.
German authorities are applying heavy-handed and questionable tactics to house the hundreds of thousands pouring into the country from Africa, Asia and the Middle East, and while sustaining the foreigners who arrived in Germany in 2015, the cost to taxpayers is estimated at least at least 11 billion euros a year, with no end in sight.
As The BBC noted, large-scale migration could destabilise German society.
The unpopular chancellor’s conservative coalition has been haemorrhaging voters to the insurgent anti-migrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, and next year Merkel’s national government faces an election.

Europe
NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter
The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.
Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.
The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy
The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."

The Ursula von der Leyen Affair
After a criminal complaint in Belgium against the President of the European Commission, the so-called SMS-case, now takes a new turn.

Publisher of Unique Literature Worldwide Blocked by International Distributor
Arktos has distinguished itself by publishing groundbreaking philosophers and social critics. Now, the publisher's international distributor has abruptly terminated the cooperation, and more than 400 already printed titles cannot reach their audience. There is strong evidence that the distributor has been under pressure, something that has also happened in Sweden. We have spoken with Arktos founder Daniel Friberg about the ongoing struggle for freedom of speech in a shrinking cultural corridor.
