‘Pro-Koln’ Fascist Update - Day Two Another Bust

World • Views: 2,583

The gathering of Eurofascist groups (including representatives from Belgium’s Vlaams Belang and France’s Front National) billing itself as the “Pro-Köln Anti-Islamization Congress” had another disastrous day today, with only around 150 demonstrators showing up (many from Belgium and the Czech Republic) — vastly outnumbered by about 4,000 counter-demonstrators: Colorful Cologne defends itself against the right.

LGF’s agent in Europe reports that T-shirts worn by the pro-Köln demonstrators bore slogans such as: “Your gallows are already timbered,” and “German - proud - loyalty.” Too bad Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller backed out of attending (even though they continue to defend the conference).

From Dawn datelined "Sunday 10th":

Up to 15,000 troops have been pitched against between 4,000 to 5,000 battle-hardened militants in the valley, where residents say insurgents hold sway in most parts.

"Up to" ... oh crap!

I've seen this figure before today. If it's reliable ....

Futher down in the article:

The military spokesman said militants’ resistance in Buner had considerably reduced. However, they were maintaining their positions at Sultanwas and Pir Baba.

Yesterday and the day before, there were reports that many residents were being trapped inside Pir Baba -- apparently by the Taliban.

Hey, great idea! Let's drive out the rest of the sane people!

Over the first four months of 2009, the Republican Party has continued to lose adherents. Interviews with over 7,000 respondents nationwide so far this year found fewer than a quarter (23%) of the combined total identifying themselves as Republicans. This is down from 25% in 2008, and from 30% in 2004. In total, the GOP has lost roughly a quarter of its base over the past five years.

More complex than that. The regular Army has to carefully consider the lengths to which it can go. Pathans/Pashtuns are a large percentage of the Army, and many are (to one degree or another) sympathetic to the Taliban.

My hunch is, if a clear-cut case can be made to the rank and file that the Taliban violated the Malakand Accord (which, in fact, they did), then more aggressive action is possible. Still, the Pak Army can't be counted upon to go on an all-out, no-holds-barred offensive.

They haven't changed their armored tactics since the debacles of 1965 and 1971. They make the same mistakes every single time. They send in the tanks without infantry support. They do not quickly follow up their artillery and air strikes. They don't seem to use their air and artillery pre-offensive, rather they tend to use it to cover the retreats of the shattered armored units after the offensive has failed.

I went with friends to see "Cradle Will Rock" in the theater, some years ago. At some point, a woman tells her colleagues "You know there are Communists working here. You know there are anti-fascists among you."

My friend the computer engineering major leans over and whispers to me "What's wrong with being anti-fascist?"

I whispered back "It's 1937."

Actually, India should tell Pakistan to go for it. That way, if Pakistan gets mauled a little, India has a stronger hand.

If Pakistan wins, then the Taliban are dealt with and India still has a stronger hand: India has conciliated good will AND had a potentially dangerous situation eliminated.

Former Illinois U.S. Senate candidate Alan Keyes and 21 other protesters were arrested this morning when they refused to leave the Notre Dame campus during a protest of President Obama's upcoming commencement address there, authorities said.

Keyes and the others were arrested on trespassing charges when they refused to leave campus, a university spokesman said. All 22 were being held in the St. Joseph County Jail on misdemeanor criminal trespass charges, in lieu of $250 bond each, said St. Joseph County Sheriff's Sgt. Bill Redman.

They haven't changed their armored tactics since the debacles of 1965 and 1971. They make the same mistakes every single time. They send in the tanks without infantry support. They do not quickly follow up their artillery and air strikes. They don't seem to use their air and artillery pre-offensive, rather they tend to use it to cover the retreats of the shattered armored units after the offensive has failed.

NOTHING,

Sure, but what do they think they are doing anyway? Using tanks for counterinsurgency is tricky stuff at best. Artillery? Air strikes? Does the Pak army really wan to kill anybody anyway?

Tanks become high-value targets of those damnedable RPGs and such, and propaganda victories for the insurgents. What Pakistan needs first of all is a clear concept of who they are, who the enemy is, and just what they plan to do about it. Then and only then can we talk weapons and tactics.

With all due respect, your statement is somewhat astonishing. Churchill gave the "Gathering Storm" speech as a warning against the rise of Nazism in Europe. My reference to this prescient speech was that to our modern threat of Islamofascism as well as the equally repugnant and opportunistic reaction of Eurofascism.

Since, by and large, the world's reaction to extremist factions within Islam has been appeasement and apologia and considering that an appreciable percentage of the world's Muslim population is either extremist or supportive of the extremist factions; I consider radical Islam to be the threat of which I speak. Factoring in the continuous pursuit of nuclear weapons by said extremists, and the rabid anti-American sentiment within the factions, I would consider this to be a very serious threat to our national security and that of western civilization at large.

"Gathering Storm"? Yes, I believe it to be so. Courage needed? Yes, considering the "bend over and take it" approach that has been all too prevalent in western "leadership" circles and applauded in leftist media outlets.

There is a good comment posted there - I am quoting it in full, because it deserves it, and because it may get deleted sooner or later:

Come on, the "deck is stacked" because Pro-Köln has no support in the local area for its actions. And it has no support precisely because it is a attempt at making the fascists look legal. And everybody can see it, except for fanatics who fear Eurabia and so are willing to sell out their decency and humanity in order to get some big boys to play with. Notice that AntiFa doesnt usually show up unless there are actual fascists present. The only time Siad in Denmark got attacked physically was when they employed Blood and Honour guards. By supporting the Pro Köln crowd, you have crossed the line, as Charles Johnason points out.

re: #124 Cato the Elder

Here's an intentionally provocative question for you, folks:

The alternative to multiculturalism is what?

It depends how you define multiculturalism. It's dangerous to generalize, but in broad historical terms, American society can be characterized as an example of (more or less) successful multicultural development, where people from different ethnic backgrounds have assimilated at their own pace, while still preserving elements of their individual cultural identity. In Europe, however, until quite recently monoculturalism was the norm. The European nation state imposed a homogeneous identity on its subjects, often using forced assimilation and even ethnic cleansing in order to achieve this. When multiculturalism did arrive in Europe, quite late, long after the ending of World War II, it reflected the exclusivity that had been practiced in the past - because of the rigid and inflexible way in which policies of cultural diversity were implemented, migrant communities often became isolated from the host populations, and in some parts of Europe developed into "no-go" areas for non-migrants.

I would say that the best alternative to European multiculturalism is probably early 20th century American multiculturalism.

Karel Dillen - Translator and Belgian publisher of the very first POST-war Holocaust denial book. Founder of Vlaams Blok/Vlaams Belang.

Roland Raes - One time Vice President, ideologist, and later senator of Vlaams Blok. Convicted in 2001 of Holocaust denial by the Belgian government. A conviction that may very well have led to the events that resulted in Vlaams Blok being banned and changing its name to Vlaams Belang. Now a member of Voorpost, as is current Vlaams Belang politician Luc Vermeulen.

Siegfried Verbeke:

[Link: en.wikipedia.org...]

Verbeke became a public figure in 1977 when, together with the later Vlaams Blok ideologist and senator Roeland Raes, he founded the Flemish denial magazine Haro. This magazine distributed tapes from various speeches made by Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels and Hermann Göring. During this period, he also was a member of the Vlaamse Militanten Orde (Flemish Militants Order), an organisation that became notorious for its attacks on immigrants, Walloons, and socialists. The government began dismantling the organisation in 1981 and it had ceased to exist by the 1990s.

At the beginning of the 1990s, Verbeke distributed pamphlets in the Netherlands to people with presumed Jewish names. In 1993, a Belgian court sentenced Verbeke to a one-year suspended prison term for distributing pamphlets belittling the Holocaust. Verbeke was also stripped of his civil rights for 10 years (his active and passive right to vote). The next year Verbeke circulated a booklet challenging what the authors called "the official version of the Holocaust."

Two years later, in 1995, he hit the headlines again by trying to get political asylum in the Netherlands because he was banned from distributing his material in Belgium.

In 1998, criminal proceedings were launched against Verbeke by the public prosecution of Frankfurt, Germany, for distributing to German addresses the anti-Semitic pamphlet "Goldhagen and Spielberg Lies", which attacked Daniel Goldhagen and Steven Spielberg. In 2000, Verbeke was ordered to abstain from distributing a brochure co-authored with professor of literature Robert Faurisson that attempted to challenge the authenticity of the Diary of Anne Frank. The next year, Belgian Minister for Culture Bert Anciaux demanded that all Belgian libraries would remove any works by Verbeke from the shelves.

In 2004, he volunteered to be exposed to Zyklon B, the poison used in the gas chambers, as an application for the million dollar paranormal challenge of the James Randi Educational Foundation. His application was rejected. [1]

In 2004, Verbeke was convicted in Belgium of Holocaust denial and given a year in prison and fined €2500. On August 3, 2005, he was again arrested at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam under an international arrest warrant issued in Germany where he was wanted for Holocaust denial and writing internet articles on the subject. He was sentenced to 9 months in prison, and released on May 5th, 2006.

On December 15, 2006, he was again arrested on base of the arrest warrant from the Court of Appeal in Antwerp, issued April 14, 2005. He is currently incarcerated in Belgium.

In June 2008 he was fined €25000 and sentenced again to a one year term, together with Vincent Reynouart, for denialism.[2]

re: #48 SanFranciscoZionist

But it's Victory Over Fascism Day today, (nice irony for the conference) so I raise a toast to the defenders of Stalingrad, even if their leaders were evil bastards.


Yes, congratulations to the Allies!

This conference of pro-Köln was a total desaster, which is definitely a good thing. Even pi-news.net wrote that they did not agree with some contributions of the speakers (which can only mean that some speakers were holding speeches so openly racist, that PI had to distance from them).
On the other hand, most of the counter-protestors were the same people who were rioting when the IDF fought Hamas in January (and that's not only Pierre Vogel/Abu Hamza and his small group of jihadists, but mainly non-muslim anti-western people) and many of them were also demonstrating for the mosque of the islamofascistic and misogynic DITIB.

The only sane people in Cologne were the small group of exile Iranians, who were protesting against Islamism and Fascism.
