Wir Schaffen Das, Or Not?

Ten years ago yesterday, then German chancellor Angela Merkel said what would become her defining catchphrase: “Wir schaffen das.” In English, “we can do it.” She was, of course, referring to the open-borders policy she was about to foist upon Germany and its people.

The invitation was only supposed to be for Syrians, who were fleeing from their country’s civil war. Shortly before Merkel’s famous speech, an internal communication, Instruction 93605/Syria/2015, had directed German authorities to allow entry to anyone claiming to be from Syria, even without documentation. The official Twitter account for the Federal Office for Migration made a post, intended primarily to inform journalists, that “regulations for Syrian citizens are not currently, for the most part, being implemented by us.” The message quickly went far beyond the intended audience, and spread like wildfire among the refugee camps of Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan. It was spread on Facebook groups and passed around in group chats, encouraging migrants of all nationalities—certainly not just Syrians—to make the journey to Germany.

Cologne immigration pact opens door for AfD

In Cologne, a bizarre conspiracy of silence has settled. Only it’s not happening behind closed doors. All of the political parties involved in upcoming local elections, except the anti-immigration AfD, have openly agreed to avoid negative commentary on immigration during their campaigns.

Everyone, from the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) to the far-Left Die Linke, has signed a “Fairness Agreement”, pledging not to talk about migrants in connection with “negative social developments such as unemployment or threats to domestic security”. This is likely to backfire spectacularly.

Migrants in Germany Plan to Stay For Good, Study Reveals

Almost all asylum seekers who came to Germany during the peak years 2013–2019 want to remain permanently and acquire citizenship, according to new research by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin).

The findings confirm what liberals in Europe have been denying for a decade: that for many migrants, asylum has functioned less as temporary protection and more as a pathway to long-term settlement.

German Chancellor Admits That Welfare State Is Running Out of Other People’s Money

The biggest, boldest lie of every welfare state is that the goods and services it is providing to its citizens are “free.” Those of us with brain cells and an aversion to lying know that this is not only untrue, but also impossible. Politicians are fond of throwing taxpayer dollars around like drunk Kennedy cousins on summer break in Monte Carlo in order to make voters love them.

From Refugee Helper to AfD Voter: YouTuber Explains Her Political Shift

Nicole Blair, a 36-year-old YouTuber who once worked actively as a refugee helper, has explained why she now votes for Germany’s right-wing opposition party, Alternative für Deutschland (AfD).

In 2015, during the height of the migration crisis, she spent time in Budapest, where she saw families camping without food or shelter.

Back in Germany, she threw herself into volunteer work—donating blankets, teaching children, arranging housing, and supporting newcomers. “I was totally passionate. I wanted to be a good person,” she told the Schwäbische Zeitung.

Burgergeld – Citizens Money or Welfare in Germany

German Stores Lock Up Goods as Migrant Theft Surges

A wave of shoplifting across Germany—with migrants increasingly behind the thefts—is forcing major retailers to lock away goods and rethink how they operate. As losses mount into the billions, supermarkets are now treating everyday items like high-security stock.

Junge Freiheit reports that a Kaufland supermarket in the eastern state of Thuringia has removed expensive alcoholic drinks from its shelves, replacing them with tokens that customers must take to the information desk after purchase. Staff say the move became necessary after organised thieves began clearing out shelves “rucksack by rucksack”.

Poll: Germans largely reject ban on far-right AfD

Germans reject a ban on the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) by a majority of 52% to 27% in favour, according to a new representative survey published by the Allensbach Institute polling organization on Saturday.

The proportion opposed to a ban rises to 65% in the east of the country, according to the poll published by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung daily newspaper, while it falls to 49% in the western states. The AfD enjoys widespread support in the formerly communist eastern states.

The pollsters found a range of reasons for rejecting a ban on the party, which is monitored as a far-right extremist organization by the domestic intelligence agencies.

The main reason was that respondents were familiar with AfD supporters, with 67% of west Germans and 88% of east Germans having AfD supporters in their circle of acquaintances. These acquaintances were seen in a much more sympathetic light than the party itself.


In other words Germans know who the real NAZIS are. h/t DS
