G<\/span>ermans are being lied to by their government. By Angela Merkel, by their police force and even by their media. For most of 2015, many suspected as much. Those suspicions were confirmed in the most dramatic possible way in Cologne on New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n

That night, a mob of around 1,000 migrants gathered outside Cologne\u2019s central train station and began molesting, robbing and even raping passersby. As of January 14, 652 crimes were reported to Cologne police from that evening. Of those, 331 included alleged sexual offenses, including two rapes.<\/p>\n

A leaked police report stated that \u201c[w]omen literally had to run the gauntlet through the mass of drunk men, in a way you can\u2019t describe.\u201d One person talked about how he arrived at the station and saw \u201ccountless weeping women.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cologne was the worst affected city, but not the only one. Over 100 crimes have been reported for the same evening in Hamburg. Women in Frankfurt, Helsinki, Zurich and Salzburg suffered a similar fate, albeit on a smaller scale.<\/p>\n

The impacts of this night on Europe\u2019s future could be just as big as the November 13 terrorist attack in Paris.<\/p>\n

Cover-up<\/h2>\n

Those attacks alone would have been enough to confirm to Germans that their government had been hiding the truth from them\u2014or at least looking at the mass migration to Germany with heavily tinted glasses. But the authorities\u2019 reaction after Cologne was even more damning.<\/p>\n

Their first instinct was to cover up everything. The day after the attacks, the Cologne police filed a report describing their city on New Year\u2019s Eve as having \u201ca joyful, party atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs in years past, we are looking back at a mostly peaceful New Year\u2019s celebration,\u201d they wrote. \u201cReasons to intervene were mostly physical assault and disturbance of the peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was nothing in the media either. The attacks occurred Thursday night, but the next day and all weekend almost all the national news media were silent.<\/p>\n

The government, the police and the media were afraid of an anti-migrant backlash, so they tried to cover up the mass sexual assault of hundreds of women. zdf<\/span>, a German public broadcaster, was forced to apologize for being so slow to cover the story.<\/p>\n

Of course, something so big could not be kept secret. But even toward the end of the next week, once the truth was out, government officials still tried to cover up part of the story. They insisted that there was no evidence that recent migrants or asylum seekers were involved in the attacks\u2014while leaked police reports and police officers\u2019 statements to the media revealed the exact opposite.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>PEGIDA demonstrates against the New Year\u2019s Eve attacks in Germany.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That lie has also completely collapsed. \u201cThose in the focus of criminal police investigations are mostly people from North African countries,\u201d said the police later. \u201cThe majority of them are asylum seekers and people who are in Germany illegally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Worst of all, the botched Cologne cover-up was just the latest in a long string of cover-ups. There are plenty of examples, although prior to the Cologne attacks you had to search hard to find them in the news media.<\/p>\n

A Pattern of Abuse<\/h2>\n

Tania Kambouri is a police officer in Germany and a bestselling author. In an Oct. 2, 2015, radio interview, Kambouri discussed the migrants and Germany\u2019s deteriorating security situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor weeks, months and years I have noticed that Muslims, mostly young men, do not have even a minimum level of respect for the police,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen we are out patrolling the streets, we are verbally abused by young Muslims.<\/p>\n

\u201cI<\/span> wish these problems were recognized and clearly addressed<\/span>! If necessary, laws need to be strengthened. It is also very important that the \u2026 judges issue effective rulings. It cannot be that offenders continue to fill the police files, hurt us physically, insult us, whatever, and there are no consequences. Many cases are closed, or offenders are released on probation .\u2026 Yes, what is happening in the courts today is a joke. The growing disrespect, the increased violence against police .\u2026 We are losing control of the streets.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Until Cologne, Kambouri was all but a lone voice. Now she has been dramatically proven right. The lack of respect for police that night is well documented. Migrants attacked police and even sexually assaulted a plainclothes female police officer\u2014and got away with it!<\/p>\n

A Shocking Government Move<\/h2>\n

On Nov. 24, 2015, the Gatestone Institute published an article titled \u201cGermans Opposed to Mass Migration Are \u2018Free to Leave.\u2019\u201d The title came from a statement by the district president of Kassel, a city in the state of Hesse. He stated that German citizens who disagree with the government\u2019s open-door immigration policy are \u201cfree to leave Germany.\u201d The article described a recent proposal by the mayor of Berlin to create emergency legislation that allows local authorities to seize private residences and office buildings to accommodate asylum seekers.<\/p>\n

The government, the police and the media were afraid of an anti-migrant backlash, so they tried to cover up the mass sexual assault of hundreds of women.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The mayor\u2019s legislation \u201cwould effectively suspend Germany\u2019s constitutional guarantee of private property,\u201d according to the Gatestone Institute. It \u201cwould authorize police forcibly to enter private homes and apartments without a warrant to determine their suitability as housing for refugees and migrants.\u201d A<\/span>nd the mayor tried to keep the proposal secret from the G<\/span>erman public<\/span>!<\/p>\n

Gunnar Schopelius, a popular columnist in Germany, didn\u2019t believe this story and decided to investigate it himself. \u201cSo I went on a search for the source of this strange report and found it,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThere is a \u2018proposal,\u2019 which the Senate Chancellery (Senatskanzlei) has apparently circulated among the senators. The Senate Chancellery is another name for the mayor\u2019s office. \u2026 The proposal is clear: The police can enter private property without a court order in order to search for housing for refugees when these are threatened with homelessness. You can do that \u2018without the consent of the owner.\u2019 And not only should the police be allowed to do this, but also the regulatory agencies\u201d (Nov. 10, 2015).<\/p>\n

Why wouldn\u2019t more mainstream media outlets report on this? It\u2019s a blockbuster story\u2014the mayor of Berlin wanted to illegally change German law in order to invade the homes of German people in search of accommodation for migrants. Why wasn\u2019t this addressed by Chancellor Merkel or her government?<\/p>\n

As Schopelius noted, \u201cThis delicate \u2018proposal\u2019 attracted little public attention.<\/i> Only Berlin fdp<\/span> General Secretary Sebastian Czaja spoke up and warned of an \u2018open preparation for breach of the Constitution.\u2019 Internally, there should have been protests.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the trend across the country. The stories are there. But until the mainstream media were forced to confront the problem in Cologne, they have been hard to find\u2014covered sporadically and often only in local papers.<\/p>\n

Migrant Criminals<\/h2>\n

In Bad Tolz, Bavaria, local government officials recently condemned a nightclub owner after he banned male migrants from his club when female patrons complained they were being harassed. Local politicians and media branded the manager a \u201cNazi\u201d and a \u201cracist.\u201d Incidents like this are happening daily in towns and cities across Germany, yet local and federal authorities simply refuse to talk about it. W<\/span>orse still, they are attacking those who do express alarm and concern<\/span>.<\/p>\n

In Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg at least one hospital was forced to hire armed guards to protect its nurses from refugees.<\/p>\n

A women\u2019s council in Hesse wrote an open letter to the state parliament saying it had substantial evidence of sexual abuse and forced prostitution in refugee shelters.<\/p>\n

In North Rhine-Westphalia in August, a local paper received news about the rape of a 13-year-old Muslim girl by a refugee. So it went to the police and asked for crime statistics in refugee centers. The police came back and said there was no rape or sexual assault. They made either a serious clerical error, or they flat-out lied.<\/p>\n

The migrants are proving to be a significant burden on Germany\u2019s health-care system. Yet, as the Gatestone Institute reported, \u201cG<\/span>erman media outlets are downplaying the extent of the health-care problem<\/span>, apparently to avoid spreading fear or provoking anti-immigrant sentiments\u201d (Nov. 8, 2015).<\/p>\n

In October, Die Welt<\/i> reported on a government document leaked to the paper by German intelligence officials. The document warned, \u201cWe are importing Islamic extremism, Arab anti-Semitism, national and ethnic conflicts of other peoples, as well as a different understanding of society and law.\u201d The document also warned that integrating hundreds of thousands of \u201cillegal migrants\u201d would be \u201cimpossible.\u201d This dramatic document garnered very little attention inside Germany, either from the media or from the government.<\/p>\n

Instead, the message emanating from Germany\u2019s chancellor and many others is: \u201cW<\/span>e can do this<\/span>!\u201d<\/p>\n

In October, police union chief Rainer Wendt warned, \u201cThere is a lot of glossing over going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[T]his doesn\u2019t represent reality,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A study by Cologne police in 2014 revealed that 40 percent<\/i> of migrants from North Africa are committing crimes within their first year of arriving in Germany! That is a huge level of crime. Spiegel<\/i> published the results of a confidential study by police in D\u00fcsseldorf showing that a North African migrant commits a crime every 3\u00bd hours in that city. Because these migrants have no fixed abode and have multiple identities, they are rarely punished.<\/p>\n

The problem goes even further than mere deception. German authorities have so far proved incapable or unwilling to do anything to prevent the migrant crime wave.<\/p>\n

Backlash<\/h2>\n

After the Cologne attack, the anti-immigrant group pegida<\/span>, or Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West, held a protest. About 1,700 police were deployed to the streets of Cologne. But during the News Year\u2019s Eve attacks, the police had only 143 officers on duty.<\/p>\n

In Leipzig, far-right extremists went on a rampage to protest the Cologne attacks. The police arrested 211 of them. Yet barely any of the 1,000-strong mob that assaulted women in Cologne were arrested; police have just 21 suspects.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not to say the German police are wrong to arrest far-right thugs who smash shop windows\u2014far from it. But it exposes how little they are doing to fight migrant crime.<\/p>\n

Wendt said, \u201cIt is highly uncertain whether in the case of the Cologne attacks even one conviction will be made.\u201d The vast majority of these attackers are unpunished, at large and could try the same thing again.<\/p>\n

No wonder Germans are angry.<\/i> Cologne marked the moment when all of the government\u2019<\/span>s lies started being exposed. Many now see its potential as a major turning point for Germany.<\/p>\n

Both police officers and politicians have said what happened in Cologne is a \u201ccompletely new dimension of crime.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pressure built up by the images and stories from Cologne make it virtually impossible to continue on as before,\u201d wrote Spiegel Online, January 8. This article was titled \u201cHow New Year\u2019s Eve in Cologne Has Changed Germany.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCologne has changed everything; people now are doubting,\u201d said the vice president of Merkel\u2019s Christian Democratic Union, Volker Bouffier.<\/p>\n

\u201cEurope in Crisis Over Sex Attacks by Migrants Amid Calls for Emergency EU Meeting\u201d was the Telegraph\u2019<\/i>s January 8 headline.<\/p>\n

As that title says, the repercussions go beyond Germany. \u201cThe idea of multicultural Europe has failed,\u201d said Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, as he called for an emergency European Union summit to discuss the attacks. \u201cThe migrants cannot be integrated, it\u2019s simply impossible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n called for a complete stop to all immigration. Polish Prime Minister Beata Szyd\u0142o said the attack \u201cshould shake up public opinion at last.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clearly these events are triggering a backlash against immigrants similar in scale to the November 13 terrorist attacks in Paris.<\/p>\n

Nearly 40 percent of German women plan to avoid large gatherings after the attacks, according to a recent poll. That is the kind of fear that is spreading.<\/p>\n

A Lie With Consequences<\/h2>\n

Think about the consequences of German officials\u2019 deception. It is destroying the trust between Germany\u2019s government and the public. What happens when the majority of Germans realize they have been deceived? What happens when the majority of Germans lose confidence and trust in mainstream leaders? Frustrated and angry, the German people, as any people would, will seek an individual, a political party, willing to heed their concerns and solve Germany\u2019s migrant crisis. This trend is already evident in the dramatic rise of pegida<\/span> and the AfD, a right-wing political party whose popularity is at all-time highs.<\/p>\n

Many of the Germans becoming disillusioned with mainstream politics and turning to these groups are not hardcore neo-Nazis. They don\u2019t want to persecute the migrants or see them imprisoned, beaten up or killed. They are not extremists seeking genocide. They are regular, sound-thinking, rational people, many of whom have terrific empathy for those suffering in Syria and elsewhere. These people are simply concerned about the impact millions of migrants will have on their nation, its institutions, its infrastructure, its economy, its culture and on the German people. They are concerned about Germany\u2019s future. But Angela Merkel\u2019s government refuses to give serious attention to these concerns and refuses to tell the truth about the impact the migrants are having and will have on the nation.<\/p>\n

What happens when more Germans realize they have been deceived? As any people would, they will seek an individual or party willing to heed their concerns and solve Germany\u2019s migrant crisis.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If she continues to do this, Germany\u2019s chancellor risks helping transform the German people\u2014and Germany itself\u2014into something very different and much more frightening than the democratic, peaceful, friendly nation we see today.<\/p>\n

T<\/span>he M<\/span>erkel government\u2019s handling of this situation is turning the G<\/span>erman people into a ticking time bomb<\/span>! The more disillusioned, frustrated and angry the German people become, the more vulnerable they will be to radical politics and radical leaders with radical solutions.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be deceived by the images of Germans embracing the migrants or Germany\u2019s chancellor making the cover of Time<\/i> magazine as its \u201cPerson of the Year.\u201d All is not well in Germany. Growing numbers of people are becoming unhappier by the month, not just with the migrants, but with Chancellor Merkel and her pro-migrant friends in the government and the media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
