Here’s a recent email from my stepson in Munich which we should all read and be aware of:
“Situations are getting worse every day. The numbers of women and kids attacked and molested in public pools and on the street is skyrocketing, people are not safe in their houses anymore, many Germans don’t take the U-Bahn (underground) anymore (like me), black, moslems, eastern people f…ing everywhere, no matter where you are. There is an official order to the police and the judges!!! to not get anybody for small offences or misdemeanors, and to rule accordingly. In contrast, native Germans will feel the full force of the law….for anything THEY do.
It’s unbelievable, it is a banana republic where all foreigners can do what they want to, no consequences at ALL! They know it and you can see in their big fat smile how much they look down on Germany. They think we are stupid (and they are right – we are).”
Also, my stepdaughter tells me the immigrants are peeing in public pools, the chimney repair people told her that they go into homes the Germans have given the refugees and everything’s been torn out and sold, all things that didn’t ever belong to them. They rip toilets out and sell them! They won’t take used bicycles as gifts, they want new ones and say so. The young Moroccans are dressed beautifully, paid for by stealing.
“All I see are young men, where are their families?” my stepdaughter says. She sees absolutely no Arab refugees, only young Black men. “And it’s scary because so many girls are being raped. I was NEVER afraid before, ever…now everyone in Germany’s afraid…and I never see Arabs, just Africans.”
Z: This is an “up close and personal” view of two people actually THERE and ‘reporting’…these are two young people who were always open minded and rather liberal until these things started happening…….Their father used to talk to them about what worried him about what might be coming and they didn’t seem to ‘get it’ until the last few years. I, for one, am very happy their father didn’t see that his biggest nightmares were becoming true.
Yesterday, our friend and fellow commenter “FB” sent me THIS VIDEO which you have probably seen before; I had. But listen to the commentary…he’s so right. France and Germany’s cultures are in trouble…..these are WONDERFUL places of cleanliness and beautiful museums and parks and happy people who revel in their baguettes and jambon or Bretzen und bier!
And their leaders are letting it all go, for what? And there are people who say “Well, they’re nice places, why shouldn’t everyone live there?” I suppose it’s fine to have that sentiment but when you look at the type of people in FB’s video, or those described by my family, how can people still believe more and more must come? And then the French and Germans who are sticking up for their cultures are called “Far Rightwingers” or NAZIS. God help us all.

“The greatest weaknesses of the Weimar Republic stemmed from its origins. Germany lost World War I, which seriously weakened the monarchy and led to the declaration of the Weimar Republic in 1918. In spite of the responsibility of the monarchy for World War I, many Germans blamed democratic parties for both the defeat and the humiliating peace treaty that followed it. Policemen were especially suspicious of democratic parties (the Social Democrats, Center, Liberals) because they had been trained under the monarchy to regard these parties as enemies of the state. In the Weimar Republic, these parties dominated. Policemen continued to serve the state, in part, because they saw themselves as professionals bound to apply the law, regardless of their personal feelings. Most of them were not convinced democrats.”

Resolution to Planet Earth and Its Inhabitants:
Whereas the fundamental goals of Islam are completely inimical to the guiding principles and central philosophy of the United States of America;
and
Whereas the religious attitude of Islam toward all other religions, particularly Christianity, Buddhism, and Judaism, is contemptuous and eradicative;
and
Whereas the concept of equal rights for women and for non-Muslim citizens is nonexistent and not acceptable under Shari’a law;
and
Whereas the Standard Operating Procedures for Muslims, known as the Qur’an or Koran, allows its adherents to lie, cheat, steal, murder, and enslave nonbelievers in the spread and support of Islam;
and
Whereas every modern European nation which has welcomed large numbers of Muslim immigrants has experienced increased incidences of rape, honor killings, civil disobedience, and property damage directly attributable to those Muslim immigrants;
and
Whereas the majority of Muslim immigrants to modern Western nations are not inclined to assimilate into the host culture but prefer to import and establish the conditions in their new homes which caused them to leave their native lands;
and
Whereas nearly every terrorist act perpetrated upon or in the United States for the past decade has been performed by or organized by or funded by Islamist radicals whose ultimate goal is dissolution of Israel and the United States,
It is therefore
RESOLVED that further immigration of persons professing to be or known to be adherents of Islam to the United States of America or any of its lands or territories shall not be permitted;
and
RESOLVED that all persons in the United States of America at the time of official distribution of this document who admit to being or are known to be Muslim must leave and return to the country of their origin within 72 hours;
and
RESOLVED that the United States of America will provide no economic or military aid to any independent state controlled or governed by Muslim kings, caliphs, sheiks, princes, clerics, judges, brotherhoods, sects, groups, federations, committees, bureaucracies, or any other organizations controlled to any degree by Shari’a law or Islamist concepts.

UPDATE FROM MR Z’S SON IN MUNICH:
Your commenters are mostly right with what they are saying. There are several theories why this is happening. This invasion is politically wanted, it does happen on purpose. I read several other articles that say that the invaders are being brought in by air planes at night where the broad public doesn’t see. All of a sudden remote airports show a lot of action at night, planes coming in from Greece and Turkey, the big billboards usually show no origin and no destination. Then busses drive away from these airports. Since the bordres are closed by other countries and the public (not media) opinion is very unhappy about the mass invasion it happens at night by plane. merkel just recently said that she acted right and would do it again. So what#s the reason behind this?
She was raised in a socialistic state and was indoktrinated her life long and was sent out to do this. She was trained by the Stasi and knows how to manipulate people. It was all a big plan. She eliminnated all people in the party who could endanger her. All the rest are corrupt brown nosers who will turn against her as soon as they see when their priviliges would disappear if they stick with her. >But up to now all of them are up her ass. Then we have crazy idiots like Schäuble (financial minister) who really said recently that we need this immigration because otherwise Germany and Europe will be an isolated place that will inbreed!!!!! Can you imagine this?????? These are the kind of idiots destroying the country with their left idiology.
2nd thought: NWO and the Hooton plan to finally destroy Germany for once and all to to rule it out as a major economic competitor. There are forces working behind curtains that we don’t know of. Soros and Rothschilds are names, in the end I think there is pressure from outside and the ideologistic convincement that lets this happen.
We will be slaughtered; that plan is for sure. people are so mind wise degenerated and left indoctrinated that they won’t be a force against that. 2 Million more of the invaders and they will have outnumbered the German number of young people under 25 or even 30. The war is already going on and thanks to the indoctrination of the recent 50 years will show effect.
I hope this is some usefull info.

Re your point about reading the Qur’an:
Teaching English lit without practical knowledge of the Bible is foolhardy. Until sometime last century, the two most popular sources of quotes, references, and allusions were Shakespeare (#2) and the KJV (#1).
Read the Bible as a teenager and found it very heavy sledding, especially Numbers and Deuteronomy and all those. Classic two-pager in those areas. While working for the MA, I read all of Shakespeare’s plays (along with the standard Boccaccio, Chaucer, Sophocles, Aristophanes, Socrates, Wordsworth, et al.).
Felt a little weak on my knowledge of ol’ #1 when I started teaching, tho, so I re-read it, some time around 1992. Then I summarized it, book by book. Then, just to widen my perspective, I read about other religions, including Zoroastrianism, Greek and Norse mythologies, Buddhism, Taoism, Shinto, Hinduism (you could spend an entire lifetime in there and not read it all), and finally the Qur’an (English translation, of course).
For the first half or so, maybe the first 60 or 65 surahs, the Qur’an was like reading a self-repetitive Reader’s Digest of the Torah in a stream-of-consciousness style, no discernible timeline or even time reference except for the historical characters such as Abraham and Isaac and Hagar and so on.
In fact, I was impressed by its simplicity (except for the repetition at the beginning of each surah). Much of it was downright beautiful; whoever translated it (can’t remember who he was, some D.D., Ed. D., PhD somethinorother) had a pleasant and easy style.
When I got to some of the later surahs, however, it became schizophrenic somehow, as if the initial source had become angry, bitter, frustrated. Much of the compassion and humanity and wisdom of the first half became twisted, inverted, deceitful. I managed to finish it, then discussed my observations with some of the profs in the Department of Philosophy (about 6 doors down the hallway from my office).
One very patient guy a few years older than I was at the time said that I’d hit the 10-ring on it, nailed it. Said he’d read 3 different translations and came up with the very same conclusion. So what I boiled it down to was a rip-off of the Torah and parts of the Talmud with selected excerpts from the NT for the purpose of uniting the barbarous nomadic Arab tribes by forcing them to abandon their tribal gods and bow to Muhammad’s version of monotheism under the rather obscure moon god Allah.
Of course they resisted, rather strenuously in many cases, so he had to subdue them by warfare (the very thing he was trying to eradicate) and control them by fear. And Islam remains that way today, IMO. A bogus sect plagiarized almost entirely from the Israelites and early Christians naming the descendants of Yshmael (the one Sarai tried to kill) the chosen people of the vengeful god instead of the line of Abram’s other son (the one he was prepared to sacrifice on Mt. Moriah). Fear and death are fundamental features of Islam.
Incidentally, during all that self-directed study, I was struck by the similarities between the teachings of Buddha and the principles laid out by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. Of course noble principles are universal, and you can find ’em in all religions.
I think I read too much, and that includes Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke, Bradbury, and a whole buncha others. Not much else to do at sea back in the 60s and 70s, before the days of TV and internet and cellfones and laptops and all.

Except when they come to “but he’s not the Son of God”….then they lose me…and millions of other people, of course. I met Bradbury once; I’ve never liked Sci Fi EVER but it was fun to meet such a genius in the field.
HERE IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT AND WHAT I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND TILL ABOUT A YEAR AGO;
Muslims are instructed to pray 5 times a day and read the Koran every single day. Most American and European Muslims do not understand the language……..but they read it. The Imams TELL THEM what it says……leaving out the KILL THE INFIDEL stuff, of course…unless it’s a radicalized mosque, of course, then they stress it!
It’s rather like how Catholics were schooled…”Don’t read the Bible, Father O’ Malley or Sister Margaret will tell you what’s going on. That, of course, is where the similarities begin and end.
But it’s important to understand that…..AND, one would think that enough Muslims would start to realize the KILL THE INFIDELS is in there, otherwise why would NON MUSLIMS even know that? and, if they know radicals are killing due to that instruction, they must know they NEED REFORM.
I related a story the other day here about my Sister’s friend who’s a 60 yr old Muslim woman who’s lived here about 40 years….she reads the Koran every day, understanding not a word of it….she also prays 5 times a day…does not wear a hijab or burka. She’s a wonderful woman who Sis likes…. This woman’s brother in Pakistan was murdered for speaking out against radicalized islam….his son has now taken over and is fighting politically to stop the radicals….knowing he will probably DIE……..
We need to know these men are not alone and pray and hope for many more.
I recommend SEEKING ALLAH, FINDING JESUS, a book which really opened my eyes to the muslim situation more than anything else.

EVERYBODY: I guess you’ve all heard by now that FIFTY Republican defense experts are saying not to vote for Trump because his foreign expertise is non existent and he’d be “DANGEROUS”….
The headlines on most websites and papers, etc., are so SO anti Trump it makes the deluge on Sarah Palin look like they treated her well.
I had to laugh at the New York Observer, which slams Hannity for one-sided reporting on all things Conservative as if MSNBC doesn’t do their share for their side and even worse (which takes some, believe me, I’m no Hannity fan).
AND, you’ll ALL be happy to know you’re all knuckle draggin’ uneducated disgusting white men for the very idea of entertaining the THOUGHT of voting for Donald Trump. Did you know that? Most of the leftwingers now are inferring anybody who doesn’t vote for Hillary is a Hillbilly with a third grade education, way too Christian, has an old hound dog named Blue and drives a broken down pick up truck with a confederate flag sticking out the back……….
Gad, for a bunch of VERY BRIGHT COMMENTERS here at GeeeZ, I’m so surprised to hear from the media that you’re all fools! Aren’t you? (Smile)

Baysider…they jumped right in at that opportunity….no doubt about it. They can’t lose in this ‘kind’ atmosphere.
Peter Kreeft, the MARVELOUS Christian thinker/writer, says “We have reduced all virtues to one: being nice” SO true, and SO DANGEROUS to Western society.

Z: Look at the criminal firebuggery the “Republican Defense “Experts”” have bumbled and stumbled our great nation into over these past decades… They should all be in jail for the global horrors they have authored, and Hellary should be jailed with them for listening to them, burning down Libya and ushering in the Million Man Muslim March into Europe. Hellary is the Warlord Queen of their Neocon cabal. They never met a war they didn’t like. More horrible when you realize the US has not won a war in over 70 years.

That literally made me LAUGH OUT LOUD!! Thanks for that, my friend! xx
SF,….”Million Man Muslim March”….you sure put new meaning to what used to be a fave of mine…M&M’s! 🙂 But, well said…alliterative,and well said!
I hate Liberals so much I am startled when I hear such criticism of Republicans….but I will say that my post tomorrow discusses a couple from Iran I met today who filled me in BIG TIME on what really happened to the Shah, etc…and how it’s WE who ushered in radical islam by supporting Khomeini when Saddam wanted to kill him and we told the Shah “SAY NO TO SADDAM” (DAMN!!!!!) I won’t cover THAT tomorrow but I’m glad you gave me an excuse to mention it here tonight. ALL BECAUSE OF OIL. OIL. OIL.
I believe that crossed party lines…….
I’m now convinced most war is about OIL.
Perhaps this is why the Left and so many on the Right detest Trump who has the audacity to suggest we can be energy efficient ON OUR OWN.??
Thoughts?
On the positive side, Susan Collins says not to vote for Trump; I would hate to vote for anyone she liked, anyway.
Gary Johnson, SF….I didn’t realize it’s known he’s a pothead…it was mentioned on CNN the other day….he’s on VIDEO saying “I’ve already had two doobies today” Just what we need, a doper during the day? It’s one thing to have a couple of martinis before dinner, but………..ick.

Outstanding observations about the Quran.
I wish that more people would wade through the Quran. The later verses = the manual for jihadists.
