It takes a nation to protect the nation
“We have decided to prioritise consideration for the safety of our staff above the very large inconvenience to many of our customers,” PostNord’s head of distribution, Michael Frølich, told Ritzau news agency, as cited by the Local.
Two postal workers were threatened last week, and a PostNord car was broken into in the Vollsmose district of Odense. The incidents prompted the postal service to stop delivering letters, advertisements, and packages to local residents on Monday and Tuesday.
“On Wednesday, one of our cars was broken into and an employee was verbally threatened, while on Friday a postal worker was physically grabbed and threatened. She was told: ‘We are watching you. We know when you come, so stay away,” Frølich said, as quoted by DR Nyheder.
Mail delivery is expected to resume on Wednesday, with Vollsmose citizens now having to pick up the parcels from the nearest post offices themselves.
Police responded to the events by setting a hotline for workers in case they are threatened again, according to Fyn. “We are taking this very seriously, because of course post must be delivered. It is the responsibility of the police to ensure security, and we have therefore contacted Postnord immediately,” Funen Police Superintendent Lars Bræmhøj said, adding that last week’s incidents had not been reported.
“It is completely unacceptable that we have reached a stage where peaceful postal workers cannot carry out their work in an area like Vollsmose,” transport and post spokesman from the Liberal party Kristian Pihl Lorentzen said, adding that he expects police to react and apply necessary force to resolve the situation.
“Employees’ safety comes first, but having said that, it is of course completely unacceptable to have a parallel society in which criminals set the agenda so that normal, peaceful post workers cannot do their jobs,” Social Democrat post spokesman Christian Rabjerg Madsen said.
The mayor of Odense described the situation as “grotesque,” adding that “no young louts are going to be allowed to decide where post is delivered!”
These sentiments were echoed in comments under the mayor’s post on Facebook. “Fear shouldn’t be allowed to decide. I want to get it under control,” one person wrote. Another suggested that they “mail” troublemakers out of Denmark, since “they can't figure out how to behave here in this beautiful country.”
The district of Vollsmose has a population of around 9,000, with young people under 17 making up more than a third of the population. In addition, 70 percent are said to be of immigrant descent, most of whom come from Lebanon, Somalia, and Iraq, according to Fyens.dk citing figures from 2012 by Odense municipality.
Welcome to 4 Freedoms!
(currently not admitting new members)
Just fill in the box below on any 4F page to be notified when it changes.
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.
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:
