Germans shaken by New Year attacks on women in Cologne

It takes a nation to protect the nation
New year rape fest in Cologne and other German cities
About 90 women have reported being robbed, threatened or sexually molested at New Year celebrations outside Cologne's cathedral by young, mostly drunk, men, police said on Tuesday, in events they have described as 'a new dimension in crime'.
Cologne police chief Wolfgang Albers told a news conference officers described the men as looking as if they were from "the Arab or North African region" and mostly between 18 and 35 years old. "We have one complaint that represents a rape," he added.
Integration commissioner Aydan Ozoguz warned against putting foreigners and refugees, hundreds of thousands of whom have entered Germany largely from Middle Eastern war zones, under "blanket suspicion".
Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed shock over the attacks that police said occurred when about 1,000 men split into gangs as officers cleared a square to stop fireworks being thrown from the top of steps into the crowd below.
While politicians also urged people not to become wary of all refugees, the incident fueled calls from right-wing groups to stop letting in migrants.
Germany took in just over a million last year, far more than any other European country.
Cologne mayor Henriette Reker said it was "unbelievable and intolerable what happened on New Year's Eve" but there was no reason to believe those involved in the attacks were refugees.
Justice Minister Heiko Maas said Germany would not accept such attacks which he described as "a new scale of organized crime".
Around 150 people gathered in front of Cologne's cathedral on Tuesday evening to protest against violence against women. One of them held a sign saying: "Ms Merkel where are you? What do you say? This scares us!"
"TOUGH RESPONSE"
The right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD), which has gained in polls in part at Merkel's expense thanks to a campaign against refugees, said she should close the border.
"Mrs Merkel, is Germany 'colorful and cosmopolitan' enough for you after the wave of crimes and sexual attacks?" tweeted AfD chief Frauke Petry.
Merkel told Reker in a phone call the attacks deserved a tough response.
"Everything must be done to investigate those responsible as quickly and completely as possible and punish them, regardless of where they are from," she said, according to her spokesman.
There are almost daily attacks on refugee shelters.
"Events like that in Cologne foster xenophobia," said Roland Schaefer, head of Germany's association of towns and localities.
After a crisis meeting, Cologne mayor Reker said new steps would be taken to avoid a repeat, including increasing police numbers at big events and installing more security cameras.
She stressed that women must feel safe at traditional carnival celebrations next month when the city closes down for five days of drunken street parades and parties.
Reker was stabbed in the neck and seriously hurt in October, just a day before she was elected mayor. Police said that attack appeared to be motivated by her support for refugees.

I was thinking a couple of days ago about this contrast: the victims of rape and sexual assault dare not speak out, because they will be identified; meanwhile in Birmingham, the West Midlands Police went to court to protect the identity of a group of adult men who had been banned from approaching schoolgirls.
The laws and state institutions will protect the criminals; the fascist-Left will attempt to get the victims killed.
Remember when the RMT shop steward gave to the gay muslim group the name and address of the gay man who organised East End Gay Pride? And then the gay muslim group put his details up on their website, so he too could be killed. This only came to an end when the police told the gay muslims, they'd be prosecuted should he be murdered. The gay muslim group, who go out of their way to protect the identity of their members. IMO the police only got involved, because they were having to keep up hourly patrols outside the gay man's house. It was simply less work for them to get his name and address taken down.
Alan Lake said:Two of the women were:
agreeing to speak only if her last name was not used, also for fear of being attacked over social media
So that's where the SJW filth have got us: raped women are afraid to speak out because of media follow up by the fascist left with cries of Islamophobia, etc. Well done, you "human rights" guys!

Isn't it amazing, that some non-entity, using a pseudonym, must take to making a comment-overlaid deconstruction of a mealy-mouthed BBC apology for 7th century nazi gang-rapists?
Why does this have to be spelt-out like this? Why wasn't the BBC tearing into this police cover-up? Why weren't the other media/feminists tearing into the BBC for their furthering of this cover-up?
This morning I heard some Yank bint from The Adam Smith Institute (that quintessentially British "right wing" organisation) fulminating on the BBC about Donald Trump "being divisive". Milo of Breitbart was on too, but the yank bint was given 90% of the speaking time, so she could bad-mouth Trump to the British (and it may well be beamed out to the US cable as BBC World). It shows how the elite have taken over all these organisations, to ensure they are all on-message.
The Yank bint could not refute 1 of the facts which Milo was saying, about support for Trump among blacks and women, the groups Trump was "bigoted about". It is so clear, the place-men of the elite do not care for democracy not one whit. The BBC presenter let the Yank bint alternate from hinting that Trump never says what he means, to switching to "Trump is a bigot". If he doesn't say what he means, maybe what she sees as "bigoted" he does not mean?
At one point, when Milo got to speak 1st in response to a question, the BBC woman stopped him, and told him to let the Yank bint speak (she'd already dominated 90% of the discussion).
No wonder Orwell modelled The Ministry of Truth on the BBC.

It's good to see some new activists coming up, with cutting edge dialogue skills.

This is how the Daily Mail describes him:
Zeman, a 71-year-old leftwinger and the first-ever directly elected president of the Czech Republic, has repeatedly spoken out against the surge of migrant and refugee arrivals in Europe.
That can't be right, since anyone who disagrees with the nazis of Hate not Hope and the UAF is automatically branded a "far right extremist". Don't tell me that 'left winger' is now being used to just mean 'socialist leaning'?

Welcome to 4 Freedoms!
(currently not admitting new members)
Page Monitor
Just fill in the box below on any 4F page to be notified when it changes.
Muslim Terrorism Count
Mission Overview
Most Western societies are based on Secular Democracy, which itself is based on the concept that the open marketplace of ideas leads to the optimum government. Whilst that model has been very successful, it has defects. The 4 Freedoms address 4 of the principal vulnerabilities, and gives corrections to them.
At the moment, one of the main actors exploiting these defects, is Islam, so this site pays particular attention to that threat.
Islam, operating at the micro and macro levels, is unstoppable by individuals, hence: "It takes a nation to protect the nation". There is not enough time to fight all its attacks, nor to read them nor even to record them. So the members of 4F try to curate a representative subset of these events.
We need to capture this information before it is removed. The site already contains sufficient information to cover most issues, but our members add further updates when possible.
We hope that free nations will wake up to stop the threat, and force the separation of (Islamic) Church and State. This will also allow moderate Muslims to escape from their totalitarian political system.
The 4 Freedoms
These 4 freedoms are designed to close 4 vulnerabilities in Secular Democracy, by making them SP or Self-Protecting (see Hobbes's first law of nature). But Democracy also requires - in addition to the standard divisions of Executive, Legislature & Judiciary - a fourth body, Protector of the Open Society (POS), to monitor all its vulnerabilities (see also Popper).
1. SP Freedom of Speech
Any speech is allowed - except that advocating the end of these freedoms
2. SP Freedom of Election
Any party is allowed - except one advocating the end of these freedoms
3. SP Freedom from Voter Importation
Immigration is allowed - except where that changes the political demography (this is electoral fraud)
4. SP Freedom from Debt
The Central Bank is allowed to create debt - except where that debt burden can pass across a generation (25 years).
An additional Freedom from Religion is deducible if the law is applied equally to everyone:
- Religious and cultural activities are exempt from legal oversight except where they intrude into the public sphere (Res Publica)"
