Migrant crime exploded in Germany federal report shows
Migrant crime has “increased disproportionately” in Germany in 2016, according to a report the Interior Ministry released last week.
Published: April 27, 2017, 1:29 pm
Migrants now account for 8.6 percent of all crime suspects in Germany, up from 5.7 percent in 2015, while the number of German suspects declined by 3.4 percent.
Federal Minister of the Interior Thomas de Maiziere blamed the high crime rate among migrants on migrant “housing”, saying that many were living in makeshift shelters or sharing crowded rooms in 2016.
The overall crime statistics saw a significant rise in especially two areas: murder and manslaughter as well as rape and sexual assault. A separate report from February also revealed that the number of Islamic extremists has grown from 100 people in 2013 to 1 600 three years later.
Suspected crimes by refugees, asylum-seekers and illegal immigrants rose to 174 438 in 2016, according to the interior ministry. Crimes motivated by Islam increased by 13.7 percent last year.
Most crimes are committed by repeat offenders, and just 1 per cent of migrants account for 40 per cent of migrant crimes, according to German federal statistics.
Refugees fleeing the ISIS onslaught in Syria are statistically less likely to commit crimes than rejected asylum-seekers and illegal immigrants from elsewhere. The highest crime rate was among migrants from the Balkans, Morocco and Algeria.
From 2015 to 2016, the number of migrant criminals have increased by 52.7 percent, with politically or ideologically motivated transgressions by foreigners up by 66.5 percent, totalling 3 372 cases in a year.
“There is nothing here to sugarcoat,” the minister remarked, Deutsche Welle reported. “There is an overall rise in disrespect, violence, and hate.”
De Maiziere presented the figures issuing a warning: “Those who commit serious offences here, forfeit their right to be here.” He added that the “proportion of foreign suspects, and migrants in particular, is higher than the average for the general population”.
Violence between ethnic groups of foreigners is another worrying trend, particularly recurring conflict between Turks and Kurds.
Germany has suffered a series of jihadist attacks in 2016, including a truck massacre at a Christmas market in Berlin and the latest findings on migrant crime is a blight on chancellor Merkel’s open border policy just five months ahead of national elections.
Attacks on refugee shelters decreased from 2015, the first drop recorded since data started being collected in 2014.

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.

The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
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.
