Germany’s Ruling Coalition Plans to Legally Normalize Pedophilia and Molestation of Underage Children

 

Germany pedophilia legalization normalization molestation underage children politics sexual abuse epidemic impunity

The current German government is preparing a number of legislative initiatives aimed at normalizing the molestation of underage children in society and lowering the age of consent to 10 years. The human rights activists of the Foundation to Battle Injustice received important information about the plans of the Green Party and the CDU/CSU to decriminalize sexual relations with children. The Foundation to Battle Injustice found out how and through which channels the normalization of sexual relations with minors is being imposed on German citizens and who is the main organizer.

The number of child molestation and sexual abuse cases in Germany has risen catastrophically over the past few years. According to the latest reports from the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), the number of reported cases of child sexual abuse has increased significantly. In 2023, 16,375 cases were reported, an increase of 5.5 percent over the previous year and almost 5,000 more than in 2017. A large majority of victims are underage girls. The alarming trend goes far beyond physical violence: the distribution and possession of child abuse images is also on the rise every year. Between 2016 and 2023, the number of reported child pornography possession cases in Germany increased almost 8-fold, from 5,687 to 45,191. This demonstrates the ubiquity and growth of horrific and inhumane practices and shows that there is no reason for them to decrease.

The alarming trend not only raises serious concerns about the safety and well-being of minors, but also highlights systemic shortcomings of German law enforcement and government in combating these heinous and persistent crimes. Despite the seriousness of these acts, numerous cases of child molestation are systematically silenced by the major German media, further entrenching a vicious cycle of violence and impunity.

The Foundation to Battle Injustice, through close and months-long work with sources from high-ranking German officials and human rights activists, has uncovered disturbing evidence of actions by Germany’s ruling coalition to normalize pedophilia in German society.  Human rights activists were able to identify a pattern of actions and individuals responsible for creating mechanisms that seek to decriminalize sexual crimes against children and contravene German law as well as a host of international conventions and agreements.  (more...)

‘Cop City’ Leads US Buildup in Police-Training Bases

 

Atlanta Georgia Cop City militarized police training bases IDF instruction Palestine repression Israel fascism

Elizabeth Vos reports on a vast law enforcement training facility in Atlanta that defies the defund-police movement and sets the stage for Israel-linked militarized policing across the U.S.

After years of intense opposition that left one protester riddled by police bullets, Atlanta’s so-called Cop City is set to begin operations in the next few weeks. The city’s police chief hosted a tour of the campus last week and training programs are expected to start during the first quarter of 2025.

The Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, as it is officially known, is an 85-acre campus with a price tag of at least $110 million and another $1.7 million recently approved by Atlanta’s City Council for its security. 

Most infamously, it includes a mock city, for which the site gained its Cop City nickname, for “real-world” training that includes a convenience store, two-story house, apartment and commercial-style building. 

There is also a military vet training center, leadership institute,  lab to develop and test technological innovations, training field, 12-acre emergency vehicle operations course.

It also comes with burn towers, a shooting range, horse stalls, police-dog kennels and training grounds, and 40 acres of horse pasture, according to a video published by the Atlanta Police Foundation and the Foundation’s website.  (more...)

‘They don’t look Jewish to me’: Behind the scenes panic at the Toronto Public Library after complaint from pro-Israel group

Internal emails obtained through freedom of information reveal that library staff worked quickly to remove a display featuring Gaza poem

Toronto Public Library emails cast doubt on the organization’s previous explanation for removing a Palestinian writer’s poem from a display, a move critics called an attack on free expression. 

B’nai Brith Canada, a Jewish organization that regularly targets both mainstream and obscure critics of Israel, claimed in April that their complaint prompted library staff to remove writer Refaat Alareer’s poem “If I Must Die” from a display at the Main Street branch in Toronto’s east end. 

Library spokesperson Linda Hazzan denied this, telling Ricochet in a statement that staff discussed the display prior to B’nai Brith Canada’s complaint.

“There are allegations that TPL has censored its collections by removing these elements from the display based on pressure from a community group. This is inaccurate,” Hazzan said in an email at the time. “The poem was removed from the display because it is not available in our collections.”

Internal emails released by a TPL spokesperson to Ricochet, and correspondence obtained through a freedom of information request, reveal Hazzan and other senior staff discussed the display before and after B’nai Brith Canada’s complaint, and appeared to work quickly to address the organization’s concerns. In a message to other senior staff sent one day before the group complained, Hazzan mentioned Alareer’s poem and expressed concern about a backdrop listing people killed in Israel and Palestine.  (more...)

What's The Next Step For The Palestine Solidarity Movement?

 

Palestine solidarity student strike unions Zionists opposition resistance academia education student activism

On November 21 and 22, 85,000 Quebec students went on strike for Palestine. This was an important step forward for the movement.

The year 2024 is coming to an end, and the genocide has no end in sight. The struggle against these horrors and the complicity of our leaders continues. Now, what's the next step?

To force university and CEGEP administrations, as well as the ruling class, to stop supporting the Zionist war machine and repressing the Palestinian movement, we need a much broader strike movement.

NEOCONNED: Jeffrey Sachs, Tucker Carlson, and Michael Matt on Israel’s War

 

Catholic Christmas Bethlehem Palestine Christian Zionism heresy CIA regime change neocons war genocide dehumanization Netanyahu

This is so cool! Archeologists discover an eighteen-hundred-year-old Christian artifact in Germany which is an historical gamechanger.  Bill Maher was evidently so ratted by the find that he started saying crazy things about Jesus and His Mother, including that they were Palestinian (I kid you not….Bill said it!)

No wonder the Devil’s growing desperate. His sycophants are looking silly, even as they erect cringy “holiday displays” to Satan all over the U.S. including, most notably, on Tim Walz’ Minnesota Capitol rotunda. Talk about WEIRD! 

With war for “Greater Israel” in full swing this Christmas, Jeffrey Sachs, a Jew, tells Tucker Carlson to beware of Israel’s CIA-backed war in the Middle East. 

Meanwhile, Michael Matt has had it with the Christian Zionists. 

But THIS means Jesus was exactly Who He said He is... What is “this”?  Watch and see, and Merry Christmas.
